The Prussian minister of public in
struction has issued a circular to provin-
ciol authorities asking their best co
operation IN the preservation of ancient
tomhs, barrows, etc, existing in the
country. Tie order states: The exca-
walton of mounds, burial sites, and sites
of settlements referring TO the Roman
and Pagan times is often carried on for
purely selfish purposes. The injury suf-
fercd 10y science, which is Interested in
preserving these witnesses of the distant
past, ia out of all proportion to the ma
torial value Of the finds in some cases.
Objects of tins kind, if they are at all
valuable, would be gladly purchased by
the state of provincial museums or scicn-
titic associations, and in most cases at
higher prices than are paid by dealers.
5 far rs the laws secure the preser-
walton of monuments which are public
property, the cordial cooperation of
state and ecclesiastical authorities will
serve to prevent the plundering of oh
iects found in urns, metal, glass, etc.
Private wner are, Of course, unre-
strioted in their disposal of monuments
in their possession, but the scientific as
sociations existing in all provinces will
often he able to convince them with sue
cess of the interest which is associated
with ancient abodes Of civilization. and
of the desnability. in their own personal
interest, of seeking the advice of experts
in carrying ON excavations ON their pri-
waite property. 7@Foreign Letter.

ANOTHER SUCCESS.

Again the citizens Of this city showed
their appreciation OF artistic worth by filing
the Opera house to its capacity last night.
Again late corners were turned away and
once more the Starr Opera company scored
. success. Billee Taylor a. usually rendered
is dull work, yet by changing the libretto,
introducing large amount of comedy and
working with a vim, the Starr company
make it bright. laughable and captivating.
Miss May Duryea made . charming Phoebe
and has added another victory to her
artistic career. Miss Douglas sang,
as usual, in excellent voice and
as Arabells did good work. The Sir Nine
ing Lane of Will Nichols was q clever i'm
persona.ion. Mr.. J. P. McSweeny as the
fop Captain Flapper was pretty as g picture.
Mr.. Eugene Harvey played Billee Taylor
remarkably well. Mr.. Deshon and Mr.. o.
borne as Ben Barnacls and Crab the school
master were all that could be desired. The
character of Eliza, difficult one for lady
to make much of, was one of the features
of the performance. Zszel was the ideal
English landlady. She invested the part
with keen humor and by her actions con-
vulsed the audience with laughter. Her
scene with Barnacle and Crab gave evidence
of more than ordinary ability on her part.
She also introduced clever hornpipe.

When the district court convened yeeter-

in a verdict for defendant.
When the Edwards murder case WIS

| tanning of such seal the case was continued
until today.

sons was then called, but in the absence OF
the defendant dismissal was granted on
motion of the plaintiff In the afternoon.
however, the defendant came in and asked
for trial and the court set aside the dismissal
and the case was tried. 1t is q considerably
mixed case. which was brought in the lower
courts to recover for card Of the defendant
inserted in tine city directory and for the
payment of certain notes and accounts
against the defendant, which were bought
by the plaintiff, and on which the defendan!
claimed the plaintiff had no right to recover
in his own name. The lower court gave q
verdict in favor of the plaintiff, and the
defendant appealed to the distric. court. j.

sons & O'Bryan the defendant. The jury
returned verdict of Sl04.35 for plaintiff.
