parallel with the northern boundary of Italy. and
Richmond. Va, in the United States is in the

A. Boston, Mass. is in the same latitude as cen.
tral Italy. S. The first inhabitants Of Italy, Of
whom anything is known, were Iapygians, who
entered from the north and retreated south as the
country became settled. The Italians who fol-

family as the Iapygians. 6. The population of
Rome during the reign Of the Emperor Augustus
was about two millions. Z. The population of
Rome as it stands to-day is about three hundred
thousand. 8. The Romans as q people were
cruel and heartless rs shown by their slaughter

suits. In war they we're brave and faithful, but
in sport cruel even calloused to human sufferings;
and the pages of history are red with Roman
slaughterings.

''fhe people are sick of them,n says
the Democratic Jersey City News, speak
ing with partisan bitterness of the Senate
investigating committee. There is very
little doubt that good many people in
Jersey City are sick of the committee;
very sick indeed. There isn't ballot box
suffer or scoundrelly repeater that isn't
heartily sick OF the whole Investigation.
There isn't rascal who assisted in making
fraudulent returns and piling up fraudulent
Democratic najoritics that isn't deathly
sick OF the business. There isn't villain
who registered and voted from a half doz-
en- places who wouldn't like to have Sena-
tor Gardner, Counsellor Corbn and every
Republican on that committee sunk to
the bottom of the sea. There ism a
Democratic boss 10 that villaiuously mis-
governed city, from Bob Davis, John
Feeney, O'Niel and the rest, that does not
think it time to stop all further examina-
tons of their political methods and the
acts OF those who manipulate them. Oh,
yes. All such people are "sicko of the
investigation. But every honest man in
the State is growing stronger and more
indignant every day, and more determin-
ed that the investigation shall be pushed to
the utmost; even till the state prison doors
close upon the rascals. Elizabeth Jour

Their Fonrteenth birthday.

This week A. G. Yates & Co. celebrate
the Fourteenth Anniversary of the estab-
lishment OF their prosperous business in
the Ledger Building, Sixth and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia. AS is customary
on these occasions the Ledger Building Is
gaily decorated, and the firm receives its
friends and visitors with royal welcome.
Stroling through the spacious building,
one sees five floors filled with clothing for
Men, Boys and Children; and gets an
idea of the immense business done by this
popular house. An entire floor of the
Ledger Building is required for the Boys
and Children's Department, which is the
largest and most complete in Philadelphia.
The great and thriving business of this
firm is the result of offering its customers
reliable clothing at the lowest prices. All
the clothing they sell is manufactured in
their own workshops, aud wherever The
name OF A c. Yales & Co. is known, it
stands for good, honest clothing.
This season they display superb as
sortment for Men, Boys and Children, and
one marvels at the cheapness Of such neat,
stylish clothing.

Of late, asks. "What is the value of the

aud suggests that the senate investigating
committee look into the subject. IT init
mates that the police captains have large
Illicit income from the liquor stores, which
they "divvy" with certain high police Off.
cials, and that they have similar income
from poolrooms, gambling houses, aud
Other more or less disreputable places,
which they''dlvvy" in similar manner.

Because of the poor railroad facilities be-
tween Philadelphia and Easton most of
the business of the later place goes to
New York, which can be reached quicker
and more comfortably than this city.
This, indeed, is the tendency throughout
the Lehigh Valley. By the building of
this new line to Easton and the extension
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad to this city
the trade which naturally belongs to Phila-
delphia but has been diverted to New
York will be restored 10 its proper chan
nels. Eastou is one of the most prosper
Gus cities in the State, and its direct con-
nection with Philadelphia will benefit both
it and this city.
