witness against O'Brien, who was charged with
selling liquor by the drink without a license.
McQueeney told howhe got his drinks there
with the usual regularity and paid 10 cents for
each 'three fingers of liquor. He was the
only witness vino told of getting drink in the
store.
Lawyer Gloss, who appeared for Mr.. OBrien,
cross examined the witness and then paid some
attention to HIM in his argument.

case to the jury and they remained out until
nearly O'Clock, when they came in and re-
ported that they could not agree. They were
thereupon discharged.

SOME VERY ANCIENT BATHs.

a Model of Them Being Set Up at the
Museum OF Hygiene.
DR.. Wales is setting up at the Army
Medical Museum, in Washington, most
interesting model of certain ancient
Roman baths, the remains of which have
recently been dug up at Bath, England,
having been constructed at period some
little time before the birth of Christ.
From date so far back that history has
no record of it the baths of Bath have
been used for their medicinal effects.
When the invaders from Rome came they
built great structures ON the spot, which
for centuries have been buried beneath
ruins. Lately the spade and the pickax
have been set at work to dig out the re-
mains, and most interesting relics have
been exposed.
The model at the museum shows only
q part of the original buildings, which
are represented, so far as they have been
unearthed, in the very middle part CT
the city of Bath, the present street cross,
ing at higher level. There is shown in
the oldest built section vast apartment
that was heated by fires below, and in
which the bathers of 20 centuries past
enjoyed the pleasures of unlimited per-
spiration. Attached to this were warm
plunges and big cold plunge go feet in
length.
Subsequently, as the building plans
show, another great structure was added
on, with swimming tub 100 feet in
length, wherein the bathers might dis.
port themselves. Along both sides of
this huge plunge bath were high couches
of stone, upon which the swimmers
might recline and be scraped with knives,
in the old Roman fashion, by slaves.
Thus far the building described is pre-
historic, but the next addition that was
made to it is known to have been erected
in the year 1927. 1t contains further
provisions for bathing, of similar nat.
ure, and to the whole has been added
within the last few years huge edifice
that includes "pump room, where peo-
pie come to drink, and anumber of single
bath rooms, in which frequenters may
find private quarters and tubs to them.
selves. Very interesting it is to observe
the way in which these several parts of
this ancient establishment have been
added on, each one being at higher ele-
walton than the next of earlier date, be-
cause of the covering up of the old time
buildings with the dust and ruins of cen.
turtles

Gram end Sherman.

Like most silent men, General Grant
was little given to witticisms. A writer
in the Chicago Tribune relates an anec-
dote, however, which shows that he was
not without ability to say bright things
on occasion. Grant and Sherman were
discussing the plans of campaign, when
third general, brigadier, entered the
tent-a good soldier, but notorious for his
carelessness as to his personal appear
ance.
The brigadier finished his errand and
went out. General Grant pulled upon his
cigar for a few minutes in silence, and
then said:
Sherman, wonder whom that man
gets to wear his shirts the first week.
Grant and Sherman were Numerically
opposite in temperament, but each be.
lieved fully in the other, and their mu-
tual confidence and affection were never
disturbed by any of the petty jealousies
so distressingly common among army Of
ficers. .
During the siege of Vicksburg Grant
announced his determination to move to
point below the town. All the generals
vigorously opposed the plan, and Sher-
man in particular gave it as his decided
opinion that the movement would be
fatal.
Grant had studied the situation thor
oughly, and was not to be shaken in his
resolve. At last Sherman drew up for
NAL protest, explained its contents to
Grant, and asked him if he had any OBJ
jections to sending it to General Halleck.
Certainly not, replied the man Of few
words.
Grants bold scheme was successful as
all the world knows, and after the capt.
ulation of the city he said to Sherman:
You remember that protest you wished
me to have sent to the War Depart
ment?"
Eyes, answered Sherman.
well, here it is. / put it in my pocket.
l thought any time would do. I'll send
it now, or you may have it, just as you
wish.
Sherman took it. Grant never referred
to the matter again, and the circum-
stance gas given publicity by Sherman
! himself.

The STANDARD, in common with
every other newspaper in the State,
has had much to say on the subject
of public roads, and it gives us much
pleasure to have an opportunity to
say something complimentary of the
manner Of working them. We pass
ed over the Viola and Vervilla roads
last Monday, and found that some
excellent work had been done on
both Of them, and we learn that the
public roads all over the county have
been better worked this year than
ever before. On the two roads mem
toned above some good grading and
ditching has been done, and in few
places they have been graveled. All
Of the hills have been much imprOv-
ed; even the Bonner hill has been
made quite smooth. The work shows
tendency toward permanent inn
prOvement, and if the system is con-
tinued for few years, Warren coun.

work proceed.

BRITISH AGGRESSION.

Puerto Cabello, Mar. 23-The
first fight has taken place between
the Veneznelans and English on the
frontier of British Guiana, South
America. The dispute about the
boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana is of long stand
ing, and the territory which England
seems determined to take from the
Venezuelans is somewhat larger than
the entire State of New York.
The British rights descended from
the Dutch, from whom Great Britain
obtained her portion of Guiana by
the treaty of London in 1914, At
that time the boundary line between
Guiana and her western noIghbor
(then Colombia, now Neuezuela) was
