Discoveries at Rome.
From the Chicago Mail.


An interesting discovery has just
been made at Rome in the process
of excavation for the Tiber embank:
ment. This is fattened oblong
column, or very thick slab, on
which is inscribed the official
record of the public games cele'
brated by Augustus in the year II
B. G. The decree of the Senate
and the regulations enforted by the
executive committee are followed
by list of the necessary prayers
and sacrifices and the order of the
contests. Then comes an an
nouncement that a choir of twen-
ty-seven youths and as many maid.
ems will sing the "Carmen Secu.
lar" written by Quintus Horatius
Flaccus. In the same LEGALITY the
workmen have discovered twenty
five additional fragments of the
great map Of the old city which
formerly stood in the Forum o'
Augustus. When this map was
destroyed by FIRE or earthquake,
many of the pieces were thrown
into a heap of broken building
materials, and finally found thei1
way into the walls OF the ole
Alfieri place which have just beer

IMPORTANT DAY.
July 4 New Laws Went Into Eff
fect-- Bounty on Sugar.

From the Indianapolis journal. Julsi.
July l, always an important day
in governmental affairs, will this
year be peculiarly SO. Always it is
the beginning Of a new fiscal year.
All appropriations of Congress, re-
ports of receipts and Disbursements,
and, in short, all financial tr,ansac-
tions of the government, are regu
lated by the year which ends June
80 and begins June /.
This year, in addition to making
the beginning of a new fiscal year,
it marks the taking effect Of some
important acts of Congress. The
increased duty on tin plate takes
effect to-day. The Mckinley tariff
Law, ,as a whole, took effect October
+, but for business reasons the tax.
ing effect of the duty on tin was
fixed at July 1.
Another law which takes effect
July l is that relating to the pay
ment of the bounty on domestic
sugar. The law provides for the
payment after that date of two cents
per pound on all sugar of a certain
quality produced within the United
States during the year, provided
the necessary proofs of production,
etc., shall have been fled prior to
July 1. The new law also requires
every person intending to engage
in the production of sugar during
the ensuing year to procure Ii
cense from the commissioner of in
ternal revenue and give bond for
the faithful observance of the law.
The sugar bounty which comes due
July l will amount to several mil
lions of dollars, and will be pay
able through the internal revenue
office. No person is entitled to a
bounty unless he produces 500
pounds or more of sugar. From
this it will be seen that some i'm
portant changes in our laws will
nccur to-day.

Christ'a Death Warrant.

WHEELING W. Va, July L.
Among the curiosities in posses
sion of the West Virginia Histori-
cal and Antiquarian Association is
an ancient document purporting to
be the death warrant of Jesus
Christ. 1t was engraved on a plate
of brass and found by the French
Commissioners of Art while exca-
waiting in the ancient City of Aquil-
la, in the Kingdom of Naples. 1t
was written in Hebrew and trans-
lated by the French Commission
ers of Art of the French armies.
On the reverse side of the plate
from that on which the death sem
tence is written are the words:
''Similar plate is sent to each
tribe" AS the Romans were care
full to record the official acts of the
Emperor and the Governors OF the
provinces, it is possible that this
death sentence Is genuine.

To Bring out Faded Ink.

People having valuable docu.
ments locked away in safes and
secretaries ara often out of temper
and out Of pocket at discovering
that the writing thereon has faded
almost completely when their use
becomes important. It is very
easy in these cases to restore the
color to the ink by purchasing a
little solution of ammonium sui
phide and bathing the paper
therein, or tracing over the letters
with q camel's hair brush dipped
in the fluid.
If this remedy fails, gallic or
tanic acids aill generally bring out
the words, no matter If they be
completely illegible at first. After
applying either solution the docu-
ment should be carefully rinsed
and dried

THE EDWARDS ESTATE.
An Immense Fortune Said to
Be Awaiting Several Au-
drain County Heirs.

During the colonial days King
George III granted tract Of land,
situated on Manhattan Island, to
Robert Edwards, who, during the
revolutionary war, leased it to the
crown for military purposes. The
King afterwards leased it to anoth-
er party for term OF ninety mine
years, which lease recently expir.
ed. The island has been divided
and has changed owners many
times and valuable improvements
have been made until the value of
the land in question has reached
an enormous sum. The present
occupants of the land say they are
willing to compromise with the
Edwards heirs for s205, coz, 600. or
s554 600 for each of the 372 heirs.
This item is of peculiar interest
to a number of persons living in
this and Monroe counties, especial
ly if the matter turns out as is ex-
pected. Mrs. Jno. Cogswell, Mrs.
Porter Tinsley, Mrs. D. K. Crock
EFT, w. B. Wright, s. o. Wright
and G. A. Wright, of this county,
are of the 372 heirs, while s. c..
Fields, Jno. D. Fields, Sam De-
maree and J. T. Edwards, of Mon
roe county, are also heirs. Joseph
and George Moore and their Sis
ters, of Pana, ILL.,. are among the
fortunates. The Hon. J.J. Ingalls,,
from Kansas, has been
working on the case for some time
past and last November a judgment
was rendered whereby the land in
dispute reverted to the heirs of
Robert Edwards. There will be
half million for each heir and
the parties named, if they get
their shares all right, will be the
richest people in Audrain county.
The story is almost like tale from
the "Arabian Nights" yet it is be.
lieved that this fortune is no myth.
