An Ancient Cavern,

A cavern was discovered lately on the
slope of the mountain at Baden which
had evidently been used in the middle
ages. Remains of the foundations of a
vcstibule were found at the entrance.
In a niche hewn out of the rock was an
altar with the sacrifcial stone table.
In front of the cavern was a regularly
constructed building, fully ten feet be-
low the surface of the ground above,
designed probably to conceal the cavern
behind, which may have been employed
as a temple to Mithra. There were two
stalls for horses, fragments of utensils,
knives, flint arrowheads and carved
bones, mixed up with Roman coins,
lamps and stamped tiles.

DRINKS AT DRUGGISTS.
Putting UP Rock and Rye Necessitates
Rectifier's License.

Rectifer's License.
Collector Hutchinson has been in
formed by Commissioner Mason, that
druggists who put up rock and rye in
lots of five gallons or less are liable to a
rectifier's tax of 800 year. The tax
does not apply to saloon men who mix
drinks in their bar for waiting customers,
nor to druggists who occasionally make
a small quantity of rock and rye, but
any of the latter who make a practice
of making and keeping it on sale, even
in small quantities, are clearly liable
and the collector is just now looking for
such cases.

Arrangements are being made for an
oat race at the driving park next week,
for local horses. There will be three
classes, 2:40, 300 minute and $50; 225
bushels of oats will be divided.
George L. Lilly, of Waterbury, made
the statement recently that he would
match his horse Parker J. against Hub
niger Brothers Ladie Thompson at any
time for $500 or $1,000 a side. When
the Hubingers accepted the challenge at
the Derby Driving park yesterday, Lilly
backed out. He would not even con-
sent to race his horse when the Hubing-
ers offered to bet $1,000 to $3.50 that
Lady Thompson could win.-New Haven

w. P. Payne of Providence, who was
expelled from the National association
tracks yesterday for using abusive Ian
guage to Judge T. o. King of Hartford
at the Derby track said this morning
that he was in hopes that
the matter would be settled.
He was trying to make settlement of
the case as he wanted his horses to run
the balance OF the season. Judge King,
however, said the matter had not been
settled and matters remained just as
they were when Payne was suspended.

Race Episode at Troy.
John M. Henry the sprinter, has been
giving Hartford Post reporter a YER

when he came near being mob5ed fol
"throwing" race as alleged. Henry
says he has letters to prove that Charles
Campau, of the Troy ball team, and his
friends wanted him to run skin race
This he refused to do, The whole trou
BILE, says Henry, arose from the fact
that he had been heavily backed to win
and the losers were sore over their loss
He believes the man Button, whom he
ran against, was in reality Kimball OF

The Boss Tramp.

There is a man in Nashville who has
travelled the length and breadth Of the

New York to San Francisco and did not

An Awful Snake Story.

A hoop snake chased Architect Rufus B.
Van lderstine down Orange mountain,
New Jersey, and he only escaped an awful
death by strategy
Going to East Orange he saw what he
supposed was a 12-foot section of fire hose
hanging over rock high above the road.
On close inspection he saw it was a serpent
with head like bulldog and tail that
ended with barbed singer half a foot
long.
Rufus took to his heels when he saw the
monster move down the rocks. He got
half mile start, but looking back at the
bend of the road he saw the snake grasp
its tail il its mouth, forming a hoop that
swiftly rolled after him. The hoop snake
came on with electric speed. When the
frightful creature was within hundred
yards of him, Van Iderstine darted behind
a big oak. The hoop snake swerved, and
coming en- in blind rage, drove his spear
like tail into the tree
1t was trapped. Rufus hurried to
Orange for help to return and destroy the
monster. Two hours later half a dozen
men with shotguns assembled the noun
tain. The hoop snake was gone. 1t had
pulled its tail out of the hollow, horny
singer, which was left buried in the tree.
1t was so deeply imbedded that only chips
from its edges could be broken off.
Poison from the singer was killing the
tree and its foliage was curled and with
cred when the hoop snake hunters first saw
1t. An ugly green liquid dripped from the
hollow singer like sap from sugar tree
Spite and deadened the green it fell upon.

Tho Misuse of a Phrase.

There is nothing obscure in the etymology
Of the Spanish phrase, FL Dorado, which
means literally 1.-THE Gilded," yet to such
an extent has it been abused that few know
that it origi nally related to a man and not
to country In the latter sense it has been
applied to almost every gold bearing dis
trict encoun tered in America since the dis
covery, and there is scarcely mining camp
in our far west but has named its richest
lode or most popular resort, whether bar
room, billiard saloon or theater, Ell Dorado.
As early as the Sixteenth century it
served to designate an imaginary region
Astounding in gold and precious stones in
the interior of South America, but prior to
this acceptation it had become synonym
for the most remarkable legend Of the New
World, the supposed eastern proximity Of
which invested its UNEMPLOYED territory
with the glamour Of oriental romance.
The term vas indeed an appellation Of
royalty, and FL Dorado perhaps veritable
king, whose daily attire is said to have
been q simple coating Of aromatic rosins,
followed by sprinkling Of gold dust blown
through a ba nboo cane.-Leutenant H. r.
Lemly in Century.

The Elevator Fiend Again.

On the irritability of his passengers. His
favori5e device to that end is to stand in
his car with the door partly open and wait
until ne sees somebody coming. Then he
calls out, 'Goin upp' and the passenger
usually starts on run for the elevator.
Just as he gets to it the operator slams the
door in his face and starts the car. grin
ming ldiotically at the baff1ed and USUALLY
irate person on the other side. This is fun
to mind of a certain stamp.
This same operator used to relieve the
tedium OF his work by lying about the ten

man came along and asked for John
Smith the operator would bark with that
irritating insolence peculiar to his kind.

out at the eff" he would find that Mr.

Then the human gadfly would stop the car
to watch with glee how his unfortunate
victim was wandering miserably about the
building.
One OF his favorite diversions was TO
change every day the system by which he
counted the floors. One day the ground
moor was the first and the next day the
nrst was the first floor above the ground.
by this means if a man came in today and
got out at the fifth floor to see Mr.. Jones.
tomorrow he would get out one floor too
high or too low. At which, of course, the
yeang man in the elevator was immensely
amused.
Avenging lightning may not strike this
young man nor the building fall on him,

think that some day somebody will come
along who isn't afraid of him, and not ap-
preciating his peculiar humor will lay for
