Great interest In the religious world at
taches to the publication In Paris OF n trans
lation OF tho recently discovered manuscript
OF the Apocryphal Gospel OF Peter. 1t is
document OF tho carly halt OF the second CEN
fury. and the copy discovered in an Egyptian
tomb is Judged to have been made in tho
eighth century. This new account Of the
resurrection is given: There was a great
voice from heaven. and the soldiers saw the
heavens omen and two men descending thence
with n great light and approaching the tomb.
and the stone which was Put at the door rolled
away OF ITSELF aud departed on one side. and
tho tomb was opened and both tho young men
entered it. Whom. therefore. the soldiers saw it
they awakened the centurion and the elders.
for they. too. were hard by keep
ing watch. and MS they declared what
things they had seen. again they see coming
forth from tho tomb three men. and the two
supporting the ono. md cross following
them. And Of the two the heads reached unto
the heavens. but the head Of him that was led
ovcrpasscd the heavens. and they heard n
voice from tho heavens saying. Hast thou
preached to them that Sleep and an answer
was heard from tho cross. Yea" Thorc was
also found a cory OF tho lost Apocalypse Of
Peter. This is most valuable discovery. for.
! as tho translator indicates. it furnishes the
origin OF most Of the early Christian ideas OF
hell. Much OF the later literature on tho sub
ject is traceable to this now restored docu-
! ment. A single quotation shows its nature:
And I saw also another place over against
that other and it was place OF chastiscment.
and those that wero being chastiscd. and
! tho angels. that wcro chnstising. had
| their raiment dark according to tho
atmosphere Of that place. and there
were some there hanging 10y their tongues
and these were they that blnsphemc the way
| Of righteousness And l saw tho murderers
and them that had conspired with them east
into certain narrow place. full Of evil reptiles.
and being snitten by those beasts and wal
| lowing there thus in that torment. ard there
were set upon them. as 1t were. clouds'of'dark-
moss. and the souls Of them that had been
! murdered wevc standing and looking upon
! tho punishment Of those murderers and say
, ing: % Cod righteous IS Thy judgment. "
, In tho same strain the punishments OF
adultcrcrs. prosecutors. blasphemcrs. false
, witnesses. and usurers nre described.
1t is again insisted that the marriage Of
, Princess MAY and til. Duke OF York has been
decided upon. There Is no better authority
for tho announcement than the inherent prob
ability OF such denouement. 1t has been
! discussed and expected ever since tho Duke
Of Clarence was buried but wc may bo sure
that 1t will rot be announced. or admitted.
before the anniversary OF the lntter's death.
Scanda!ous .umors have for n few days been
in circulation about tho name OF an occunan,
| OF Windsor Castle whose rank in the Queen &
household is not humble. The story deals
with certain frequent visits paid by tho noble
gentleman to young woman OF unsatis!ac
tory antecedents who lives n. ST. Johns wood
London. The most remarkable part Of the
report is to tho effect that afler there haC
been an exposure and II dom scene. the
Queen herself endeavored to prevent the
scandal becoming public. 1t may safely b.
denied that her Majesty would consent tt
condone improper conduct on the part OF AM
member Of her household. Tho rumore are
however gaining such wide circulation that
ftHe facts pretty sure to become known.
Tho Duke Of Edinburgh played the violin

Duke played on his own favorite Stradivarius
which has been on show at the Vienna Music
Exhibition recently. and is said to be wortt
several hundred pounds. People who havo n,
