UNDERGROUND PALACES.
Discovery of Wonderful Gave with Gilt
tcring Halls ia Austria.

The Newly Explored Grotto Second only to
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky in Size, and
Brilliant in stalactites Beyond the Power Of
Description.
A new grotto has been recently dis
covered and opened TO the public at
not quite twenty minutes distance
from the famous Cavern OF Stalactites
at Adclsberg, in Carniola, says
Vienna Letter. The province OF Aus
tria is very rich in grottoes and caves,
but the one just discovered seems 10 be
superior TO all the others, and Is likely
TO be more renowned than the Adels-
berg Caves, the largest and most mag.
niiicent hitherto known in Europe.
The new grotto is, in the first place,
better connected than the old one.
Cave follows cave, without passage or
corridors, in which the visitor can see
nothing; and when add thpt a walk
through the new grotto occupies rath-
er more than two hours it en- be inn
agined how rich it is in variety and
sights. 1t is snow-white in color re-
lieyed only 10y portions OF grayish hue,
wherea, at Adelsberg the prevalent
color is yellowish.
The grotto opens with n deep ravine
and Il number of paratively shallow
caves, in which the staIactites take the
form OF curtains or widespread wings,
and the drops and stal gmites have the
appearance OF huge cactus plants. with
beautiful white glittering pendants.
The next cave shows forms OF various
animals, the finding out OF which is an
agreeable occupation OF the magma
tion Of visitors, Of whom certainly not
two will agree as 10 what they have
seen.
Going further, the visitor walks
through IA succession OF lofty domes,
until the ballroom is reached, three
times rs large as the cores onding
room at Adelsburg. In all these caves
the ornaments formed by the stalactites
are much lighter, more transparent,
and. therefore, more fit for color con-
trasts than those of Adelsberg. The
roof, for instance, OF the ballroom
seems to be adorned with hundreds OF
! flags and streamers, each flag having
its staff formed OF pendant tubes,
around which the standards or banners
are wound. The walls are formed OF
myriads OF diamonds and il the ball
room Is lighted variety OF cO.ors, from
alaDaster white to deep red, seem 10
shine from the flags or streamers or
curtains-a Try sight which excites
the admiration even Of those who have
already seen much OF that kind OF
/ thing.
The most remarkable cave is the last
one. It's roof is vaulted; its furthest
wall is formed by a snOw-white rock oi
/ limestone, which divides the grotto
! from the mountain river. Polk, which
rushes behind it. and the two side
walls are covered with indentations,
mostly formed Of single drops. The
visitor may imagine himself to be i'm
toy shop. so various are the little
| figures which protrude from these
walls but that his attention is drawn
to n number of enormous trees in the
center OF the cave. some rising 10 "a
height OF forty or fifty feet. each with
numerous branches. strewn with drops
instead Of leaves. in wonderful regu-
! larity OF form.

The Young Millionaire willie Astor's New
Romance.

The Hon. William Waldorf Aston or
willie" Aston as he is best known to
newspaper readers, has written his
second novel. and by competent critics
it is said to be far in advance OF his
initial work, valentino" The new
novel has for its title ''Sforza; Story
of Milan" Like its predecessor, it is
romance OF medieval Italy OF the
Sixteenth century, dealing with the
famous Italian family Of the Sforzas.
There Is considerable dramatic
strength to the plot. the characters
are well sustained and carry
their interest TO the reader from
first TO last. Where the young
millionaire-author shows his literary
talents at their best is in n succession
of brilliantly pictures Of the
popular Italian festivals OF the period
as they held sway in Milan and in the
then hostile state of Venice. The
Scribners will publish the work. as
they did valentino This first liter

Cold and stiff in death he lay, silent, sight

kirc the morrow's dawaing all her hopes

For her lover mangled lies, battered, bruis

fWhile the proverb homely through her
senses huns,
Speaking TO her tortured heart, "To NOR

Tomorrow - cries the soldier, ''we shall
meet the foe,
And his blatant army in defeat be low:
Laurels then shall crown my brow, glory

For with deeds of valor bold then my

When the night descended on that mighty
host
Treachery had opened wide every guarding
post,
And that warrior cory, deaf to call of
drums,
Proved in CHASTITY eloquence, "To morrow

'To morrow thinks the student, "to the
world I'll give
Secrets of my busy brain, and my name
shall live
Down the roll of ages, famed, revered and

But the long, brave struggle, aud the
awful strain
Snaps the o wrought intellect, wrecks

And OF reason plenty, not the smallest

Tomorrow quoth the merchant, ''all

How success has crowned my life, for my

And my children innocent, young and fair,
I'll greet.

But the storm king in his strength, and his
mighty wrath.
Sweeps that vessel, Ike q toy, from his
raging path,
DAAnd in dark and desolate, wrecked and
ruined homes,
Shrieks with awful emphasis Tomorrow

Tomorrow who can think Of thee, in this

"lt isa striking commentary ON our

ders committed in the State since the lst
Of January probably reaches fifty, only
one murderer has been sentenced Ia
death. and It NOW looks as II he viii not
he required to pay the penalty of his
crime ut the fixed time. Indeed, II may
be doubted whether there will be an eN-
ecutIou In this state during the present
year or even the next.
"rhis is likely to result from the APP
peal taken in the kemmler case, kem-
mler, It will he remembered, WAS seutenc-
ell to death by electricity for the murder
of his wife at Buffalo. lie is the first
candidate for that method of mlicting
the death penalty in this state. His
counsel raises the objection that the pun
ishmcnt is "cruel and unusual" and
therefore unconstitutional. The point is
taken under both the federal and STATE
constitution. The former declares:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor
excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unus-
ual puuishments inflicted
These identical words are reproduced
In the constitution of this State. The APP
peal in behalf of kemmler is made to the
Court of Appeals at Albany. If that tri-
bunal decides against him an appeal from
its decision will lie to the supreme Court
of the United States. 1t may therefore be
year or more before the question is
finally settled. Should infection of the
death penalty by electricity be held u cruel
aud unusual punishment. and consequent
" the statute declared unconstitutional.
no person could be executed in this State
for murder committed since the first of
January and before the enactment of a
new law, The effect of an adverse decision
would simply be to abolish capital punish
ment in New York under existing laws "
Commenting on the significance and the
bearing of the above facts. the Biddeford
Times remarks that "the subject is an
interesting one and the progress of the
appeal will be watched with interest
Meanwhile no doubt the stock of convicted
murderers will accumulate until final
decision is reached in the case now before
the court. Then the whole lot will either
be executed or go scot free.
The fact of the matter is New York is
on the eve of abolishing capital punish
ment altogether. The fact noted bv the
Herald that out of fifty murders there
has been only one conviction is evidence
that the people as rule. will have
nothing to do with judicial murders. A
jury would rather stretch their oaths a
