House of the VestaI Virgins.

Lett II from Professor Idnclanl 10 the LONDON
Athen9um.J
1t is impossible not 10 give the reins to
Imagination and sentiment in talking about
the House of the Nestal Virgins i'm Rome.
As regards the residence of the vestals,
about the former discovery of which little
or nothing is known. there was one chance
only that we should see something Of
the building in nearing and round
ing with our excavations the north
east corner OF the Palatine and the
chance was that the house should be
built of bricks instead Of marble or stone.
This happens TO be the case, and | am
happy TO state that we have just entered
the threshold Of the famous mysterious
house in which spotless patrician maidens,
perfect in body and pure in soul, for CEN
turtles performed their sacred duties. The
residence of the vestals is a square block Of
buildings surrounded by the Nova Via on
the west, by VeStal's Temple and its tfme-
nos on the north, by the Porticus Marga-
ritaria and the Sacra Via on the east.
The southern boundary line cannot
vet be traced. II contains halls and
apartments OF every size, opening on
large court, the well-known dtrid UeStP OF
ancient writers. A great many statues
had been raised and dedicated in this court
i'm honor OF the Vestales Maxine, the alb
Bosses of the SisterhoOd, by persons who
had obtained favors and privileges under
their mighty and powerful protection. The
statues stood on pedestals, on which eulo'
CYSTIC inscriptions were engraved. Twelve
pedestas were found i'm 1897, two more in
| 1919. The first were described by an eye
witness, Fra Giocondo da Verona; the last
| were seen and described by Pighius. Both
agree in specifying the exact spot Of the
discovery, (d) "e regione SIS. Cosme ct Da-
miami; (b) on the other side OF the avenue
| leading 10 the Arch OF Titus, d" sofa via me-
dante" eat the foot of the Palatine," sub
radce Palatini months" >; (d) near the tenn
ple itself, :" in ruins templi Vestg"; (e)
and, according TO Panvinias, Gin Via
| Nova" We could not hope for nor expect
clearer evidence by which to identify the
spot. There is no doubt that in nearing
| the ancient level with our excavations we
shall gather fresh and conclusive evidence.
| We have Just discovered In corner OF the
atrium the lower portion OF a female draped
statue, the size OF which corresponds eX-
actly with the size of one OF the pedestals
preserved in the Palatine stadium. An
other argument for identification is Afford
ed by the style Of the brickwork and by
the general architectural character of the
building, both belonging, without doubt,
TO the age of Septimus Severus. Tho locus
| uestB was destroyed by the conflagration
OF 1871, and rebuilt soon after by Julia
Donna.

Special orders have been given by the
German Emperor for the building with the

Strasburg. When the palace is completed
it is understood that the Prince and Prin-

Count Won Moltke seldom smokes after
dinner, a meal which he always makes Il
simple one at home. The form in which
he uses tobacco is snuff, and when at work
he always has his box at his side. He Is
said not TO be proud Of his past career in
the sense Of being inflated by it, success
and splendor. What he has done he looks
upon simply as performance OF duty.
1t is computed that l,000,00O OF hectares
OF the high plateaus bordering the Sahara,

Of 100000 tons OF these grasses were ship
ped 10 Europe. Paper is not the only ar
ticle made from them. Several others are
made from the grasses, among them cur
tains that are said to be pretty and substan-
tlal.

A Husband's Supposed Death.
COMING HOME TO FIND Ills WIPE MARRIED. T
ANOTHER MAN.

ANOTHER MAN.
A Morrisville, y. j., telegram SAYS Four
years ago David Matthews left tins place in
i'll health for a trip on a coasting vessel to
the Bermudas, leaving behind him wife
and young child. Matthews never wrote
10 his wife, and she heard nothing OF his
movements until word came about a
year after his departure that he had
low-fever. After Matthew's departure q
second child was born, and the Young
wife, TO support herself and family, was
compelled to accept a position as a nurse.
About six months ago Mrs. Matthews was
courted and won by young mechanic
named Latferty, who last spring came from
Philadelphia and found employment here.
Mrs. Matthews, before accepting Laflerty
a. husband. told him all about the disap-
pearance OF her first spouse, and Of the
news that she received OF his death. They
were married, Mrs. Lafierty and her chill
dren by her first husband being provided
with comfortable home.
To the great surprise OF Mrs. Latierty,
her first husband returned few DAYS AGO.
He had not died OF yellow-fever In the
West Indies, but had gone TO Brazil,
where, by working in mine, be had ac-
CURED a small fortune. Matthews demand
ed the surrender Of his two children, and

A Raron on the Eastern Shore.
baltimore Sun.I

II il well known 10 genealogists that the
title OF Baron Fairfax, OF Cameron, has
for several generations been borne by the
Fairfaxes OF Virginia and Maryland, in
consequence OF decision by the House Of
Lords in 1880 in favor OF the Rev. Bryan
Fairfax. but comparatively few OF them
are aware that gentleman living on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland can lay claim
10 the oldest barony in Ireland. A cursory
examination Of the papers which have
been in possession of the family for more
than a century would probably, how
ever. convince the most skeptical that the
DeCourcys of Maryland are the rightful
heirs 10 the titles and estates OF kinsaIe.
and that. had his ancestors asserted their
claims, DR.. William Henry DeCourcy, OF
Cheston-upon-Wye In Queen Anne's
county, might now be Lord kinsale, Baron
Courcy of Courcy, and Baron OF Ringrone
In the peerage OF Ireland. The actual
possessor OF the title is the descendant OF a
sailor from Rhode Island, whose elevation
10 the dignity Of premier baron Of Ireland
l. said to have been accomplished by an
elaborate scheme of fraud and imposture
strlkingly recalling the famous Tiehborne
ease OF a few years ago.

Roman Antiquities I'm Paris.

The remains OF the Roman arena, which
were brought to light in Paris some time
ago. are In a much better state Of preserva-
ton than was at first imagined; and now
that the passage, 100 feet long by 20 feet
wide. which leads down from the main en-
trance 10 the arena itself, has been cleared
of the Debris, it is easy TO form an idea Of
what the ruins will look like when the
other distractions have been removed.
Descending INTO the amphitheatre by this
passage,u says the 81. James Gazette, "the
visitor will have tc his left the stone
seats rising one above the other, in front
of HIM the semi-circle formed by the wall
enclosing the arena, and to his right
the outline Of the stage, which is still
very well preserved. Only one half OF the
arena has been excavated, but the other
half. which belongs to the Paris Omnibus
COMPANY, will probably be purchased by
the municipality; and in the mean while
the various fragments OF columns, sculp-
ture. etc, which are now in the Carnavalet
Museum. and which are known 10 have
been removed from the arena, will be taken
back. Although this Is the Oldest building
In Paris. dating, as 1t does. from the time
Of Hadrian, very few relies OF great an
tjouity have been discovered during the
progress Of the excavations; but among
the bones which have been dug up are
some which apparently belonged to the
wild animals killed in the amphitheatre."

A FORMER TREASURER OF JERSEY CITY TURNS
LID In LII LINnIs A. A RAR-TENnER-

! FORMER TREASURER VI JEhSE1 VII turns
UP IN ILLINOIS AS A BARTENDER.
A Bloomington Ull) telegram says
short time ago a rather stylish-looking
man, apparently thlrty-three years OF age,
arrived in Bloomington and in few days
found employment in one Of the most FASH
ionable saloons OF the city as head bar
tender. He gave his name as Alexander
Hamilton, and informed his employer that
he was formerly engaged in the tobacco
business in st. Louis, but had failed. About
two weeks ago an Estern man visited the
saloon where Hamilton was employed
and at once recognized him as
the former treasurer Of Jersey City,
n. j., who was a defaulter some years
ago for $4,000 belonging to that city.
Hamilton since then has been rover all
over the world. After his defalcation Sl0,-
600 reward was offered for his apprehen-
sion. He went to Europe and remained
for some time, after which he went TO Jer-
sey City and paid down 100000, and It is
claimed that he settled in some way his de-
falcation. Hamilton embarked in the
sheep business, and had cattle ranch in
Texas, making about 100000, but after
wards lost it by iniudicious investments.
When he arrived in Bloomington he was
almost penniless. All he had in the world
was two dollars and the clothes on his
back. Hamilton informed your CORE
spondent that he intended to make jersey
City his future home. and il things shape
themselves satisfactorily he will eat his
Christmas turkey at his old home.
