LIBRARY OF THE VATICAN
The Most Valuable Collection In the Wof3<
Housed In Magnificent Rooms

The Most Valuable COLLECTION In the World
Housed In nIasnihoent Rooms
The great movement Of the renais-
sance began late at Rome and closed
early; It is generally said 10 have lasted
from the time Of Pope Nicholas v.
LAT to 1897, when the town was sacked
by the army of Charles v. This repre-
sents less than century, but In this
short timc marvels were produced. says
writer in Harper's Weekly. The
course pursued by men Of genius In the
revival of letters and Of the arts has
ever been the same Antique master
pieces have, in the first place, been ex-
humed, then an attempt has been made
to initiate them and this attempt has
succeeded Ancient books were the
first to be brought TO light again
Drawn from the obscurity of converts,
collected together and explaining each
other, placed at the service Of all stu-
dents, these books disseminated through
out the world passion for knowledge
which transformed society.
In this revival of literature and Of the
ancient sciences Rome played grand
part If we want to get an idea Of
the renaissance, when the treasures
of Greece and Rome were 80 eagerly
sought after, we must go to the library
of the vatican. 1t may be said to have
been founded by Nicholas ", who was
the first to give It any importance He
sent Enoch of Ascoli and many others
TO search the converts of Germany and
take from them all they could find; ct
the same time Greek savants, flying be-
fore the Turks, brought to him Homer
and Plato. Before his death Nicholas
v. had added Ave thousand valuable
manuscripts to those owned by his
predecessors Since then the number
has been greatly increased and there
are now more than twenty-five thou.
sand No library In the world Is as
rich in this respect as the vatican Ar
we enter 1t we cannot but feel sense
Of fveneration when we eremember all that
has been done by its means to aid the
progress OF thought and to promote the
good of humanity. AS a matter of fact
these precious works, which eznbody al
the genius of antiquity, are treated
with the greatest difference They an
housed in magnificent rooms, which ART
paved with marble and frescoes, ani
some of the more precious of the mann
scripts are exhibited to the reveren'
gaze of visitors In glass cases But thert
Is no doubt that all these honors ar
fully merited.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Secretary of War
Elkins is in the city for day or two, in
conference with the leaders of the national
Republican canvass. To DISPATCH re-
porter Secretary Elkins said to-day: 1.-THE
canvass seems to me to be in excellent
shape. We start in with the best of the
enemy, both as to organization and argu-
ment, and that means a great deal. Presi-
dent Harrison has also the quality of being
what horsemen call good finisher, and for
that reason is likely to increase his present
advantage over Cleveland rather than other
wise.
"We already have the Democrats badly
scared over the serious condition of affairs
down South" continued Secretary Elkins,
''and they realiz. that they will have to
fight hard in two or three of the States in
order to hold them. have been spending
my vacation looking into the situation in
West Virginia We have an excellent State
ticket there, and. with the strength of the
tariff issue, will, 4 believe, give our electoral
votes TO Harrison. Less than 1000 votes
would have made the State Republican four
years ago. If the election were held to-day
my State would vote for Harrison. There
is no doubt of that. What changes may
come before November, however, cannot
say, although 1 believe we will poll ma
iority of the votes. AS to New York and
Connecticut / can only speak from iniorma-
tion that 1 get from others. Everybody,
however, seems confident"

In a Summary Way.
RICHMOND, VA, Aug. 29.-[ Special +
A lot of Mormons recently settled in Han
over county, about 15 miles from this city
and began making converts at lively rate.
Intelligence has just been received here
that the citizens Of Hanover held meeting
at Beaver Dam depot, to take action. John
W. Moody was elected Chairman and..Major
John Page, Secretary. The following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That with Gods help, this shall
remain Christian community.
Resolved, That we will tolerate no Nor
monism in our midst.
A motion was carried that the body act
as an escort to accompany the Mormons to
the borders of the county. Major Page was
elected to take charge of the expedition,
which, after riding 10 or IL miles, found the
Mormon elders hid tobacco house, near
Jones cross roads. They were promptly
escorted to the county border, and having
promised that they would not again enter
the county, were permitted to leave There
were some IS men in line, who included the
best men in the county, and though their
action was characterized by moderation, it
none the less satisfied the elders and their
supporters that the neighborhood was rid
of this moral nuisance and intended to stay
rid of it. Major Page, the venerable Secre-
tary of the meeting, is the father of Thomas
Nelson Page, the author.

properties with view to overthrowing all
| idea that . murderer could have escaped.
Policeman Michael Mullaly told of going
| into the cellar with Bridget and getting the
axes, the handles of which were dusty. He
also noticed that the cellar door was locked.
Lizzie told him that man in dark clothes
had been hanging about early in the morn
ing.
Deputy Marshal Fleet testified that he
questioned Lizzie and she told him of man
| having talked with her father that morning
about renting store. She did not. think
him the murderer. She added, said
Doherty, that two weeks before, man had
come to see her father about renting store
and had gone away seemingly angry.
During this testimony DR.. Bowen's wife
tainted in court from heat. During the ex-
citement Lizzie never turned her head, and
the witness went on to tell of his question
ing Lizzie. She had told him that Bridget
could not have done the deed, and had said
she left her father half asleep when she
went to the barn, and that when she came
back he was dead. Fleet went on to tell of
his search of the house and described the
big hatchet, contrasting its clean appear
ance with that of the dusty axes.
"It looked as if it had been wiped Clean"
he remarked. He added: 81 also went out
to the barn, but I saw nothing. went
back to the house and made another search.
went to Lizzie's room. DR.. Bowen held
the door and told me to wait. He then
talked to Lizzie and came out and asked me
if it was necessary to make the search of
the house and I told him it was and told
Lizzie that must search the house. How
long will it take you?' she asked the wit
ness. I hope you will do it quickly, for
all this makes me sick
In the first conversation with the wit
ness, she told him that Mrs. Borden had
gotten letter and had gone out in answer
to it. The witness swore that Lizzie was
not crying at any time when he saw her
The cross-examination of the witness by
Lawyer Adams brought forth only repeti-
tion of the story. Tomorrow morning it Is
probable that the undertaken who buried
the bodies will be the first witness The
evidence, of Prot. Wood is awaited with
much, eagerness On HIM rests the burden
of the establishment of the remainder of the
poisoning theory.

Callers at Democratic Headquarters.
The principal visitors at Democratic
headquarters to-day we're from the South,
and came to confer with Chairman Harrity
regarding the situation in their States
Before leaving for his home in Tacoma,
Wash, to-day, National Committeeman
man Hugh c. Wallace hit back at United
States Senator Watson g. Squire, who said
that Mr.. Wallace's hopes of Democratic sue
cess are vain, and that the reasons on which
he bases them are not good. Mr.. Wallace
said that the course of the Democratic Con-
vention condemning the appropriation for
the Seattle Canal will meet with the ap-
proyal of the majority of the voters
of the State of Washington. 'Tacoma's
condemnation of the canal scheme does not
arise from jealousy" he added, ''is has its
origin in the fact that the Democratic party
has been always against appropriating
public money for private enterprises, and
that sentiment, am glad to say, exists
largely among the Republicans of the State
of'Washington, also"
Don NJ. Dickinson, E. c. Wall and B. T.

branch headquarters at Chicago, will meet
in that city on Thursday afternoon.
