The proposition now is to arrange

By doing so it is believed big crowd

thereby success would be assured in all
three events, 1t is suggested that those
in charge of the three events come TO an

CRIMINALS AND CRIMINALOIDS.

1t Requires a GentIemanIy Appearance
to BE Successful Forger.
Signor Cesare Lombroso, the Italian
criminologist, has been making an eX-
animation of the chief politicians i'm
plicated in the Panama and Italian bank
frauds, and says that he does not find
the criminal type, according to his the
DRY of criminal physiology, very promi-
nent in any of them. On the contrary,
''in general an absence of the typical
criminal features such as are found in
common criminals.
This he explains, to a New Orleans
Plcayune man, and, as it seems, quite
satisfactorily to himself, by the following
rather striking observations: Fraud
and embezzlement," ne says, care
by educated and capable men, who
do not, like true criminals, inspire
repugnance and distrust by striking
external signs of degeneration. In
place of these repellent features we see
the greed and that habitual lying which
unfortunately has become rather too
| conventional in modern civilization.
Accordingly, the fraudulent politician is
not so much q born criminal as what |
should call criminaloid, with the char
acteristics Of the average man. He
would not become guilty without q
tempting opportunity. Both in Paris
and in Rome the temptations were
many and great. The frauds in France
and Italy have for their common cause
the prevailing political conditions. Our
parliamentary system naturally incites
to crimes. To commit fraud in the in
terest of political schemes is not crime
in the eyes Of the majority. The worst
is that no one knows how to meet the
evil"

A BOX FULL OF ROYAL BONES.

JawbOne, Shanks and Vertebre Found
in the Carrots of the Louvre.
Quite a sensation has been created in
Paris, especially in the Faubourg St.
German and in Royalist circles, SAYS the
Philadelphia Telegram, by the discovery
among the archives in the garrets of the
Louvre of a box containing royal Jaw
bones, shOulderblades, shanks, ribs and
vertebrR. There IS among other things
the scapula of Hugh Caput, the thigh
bone of King Charles ", the shinbone
of King Charles VI and King Francis
l., the ribs of Philippe del Bel and of
Louis Nil, the vertebr8 of Charles
VII, and one of the jawbones of Queen
Catherine de Medici, and another of
Queen Anne of Austria. The authentic
ity of these relics is proven by the
papers found in the box, and it seems
that they have been lying in the Louvre
unknown to the directors of that great
national museum since the official VIC
latiOn Of the royal tOmbs and burial
vaults at st. Denis in 1898. 1t is prob
able that they will now be returned to
their former resting place.
1t Is Of interest III connection with
this to remember that the revolution
airy statesman who first proposed and
then superintendent the violation of the
royal tombs at st. Denis, just 100
years ago, bore the name of Barrere,
and that his grandson, who in 1873 was
sentenced to death by the court-mar-
tial at Versailles for his connection with
the Commune instruction, is now
French minister plenipotentiary at the
court Of Munich, where more than any
where in Europe the old-fashioned
ideas and respect for the sacred char
acter Of royalty have remained in force,

SHE NEVER CAME BACK.
Neither Did the Timepiece OF the Io'
Susceptible Guard.

Neither Did the Tinepiece of the Too
Susceptible Guard.
She was Il coy young woman aEd she
looked decidedly pretty III her new
summer costume when Guard W hlte be-
held her sitting on one of the divans in
the art gallery Yesterday afternoon, SAYS
the Chicago Herald. He gave her sew
eral of his most killing looks and she
responded with the sweetest of smiles,
and the heart of the young man in blue
beat so hard that the kettledrums in the
Turkish village were not to be compared
for sound. IS he gazed into the young
woman's limpid eyes the order of Col.
Rice that all members of the Columbian
guard must desist from flirting was for
gotten As he walked proudly to and
fro each turn brought him nearer to the
smiling beauty and each time his manly
bosom was thrilled by the smiles she
gave him.
This sort of thing went on for several
minutes, when she arose, and, as she
swept into the vestibule, she cast him
sidelong glance which plainly said.
Follow me- The guard did so. By
the side of one Of the columns stood
his charmer, and she extended dainty
hand, which sank out of view in his
white glove. After a few minutes
conversation the girl asked for the time.
and Guard White CALAMITY pulled from
his vestpocket the handsome gold watch
he carried.

and | must let mamma know the time.
She sits right in there. Poor, dear
thing, she is awfully deaf, and one has
to scream to make her hear. Just let
me take your watch a moment while |
take it in and show it to her, and ] will
be right back"
1t took the guard less than a second
to unsnap the chain which held the
timepiece, and, handing it to the
charmer, he watched her run into the
gallery.
And then he waited for her return.
She never came back.

A LONG LEASE.

Some Time to Kun.
A lease for 9 1899 years in this country,
at least, is rather a rarity, although the
term Of ninety-nine or even 500 is not
uncommon.

1876 to the Venerable Society for the
Propagation Of the Gospel in Foreign

England Society in Hebron, Conn,
about thirty acres Of land, which after
ward came into possession of the parish
of st. Peters Church in that town, as
the successor to the Church of England

On May 25, 1895, the parish leased
this land to J. W. Case ''for and during

TERRIBLE WORK OF VOLCANOES.
What an Active One Can Do When Fully
Aroused.


Aroused.
Few people in this country imagine
what terrible work volcano of the
regulation size can do when it once gets
fully aroused. In 1888 Cotapaxi threw
its fiery rockets more than 5000 feet
above the crater and in 1867, when the
blazing mass confined in the same
mountain was struggling for an outlet, it
roared so loud that the awful noise was
heard for a distance of 600 mil IS. In
1897 the crater of Tunguragua, one of
the great peaks of the Andes, flung out
torrents of mud and lava which
damned up a great river, opened new
lakes, besides making a deposit Of
seethlng mud, ashes and lava 900 feet
deep over the whole area of a valley
which was twenty miles long and aver
aged 1000 feet in width. The stream of
lava which flowed from Vesuvius in 1887
and passed through the valley of Terre
del Greco is estimated to have contained
1888, 900 cubic feet of solid matter.
In 1850 Htna poured out flood Of melt
ed stones and ashes which covered
eighty-four square miles of fertile coun-
try to depth of from ten to forty feet.
On this occasion the sand, scoria, lava,
etc, from the burning mountain formed
Mount Rosini, peak two miles in cir
conference and over 1000 feet high.
In the eruption of Vesuvius in the
year 70 A. D., the time of the destruc
ton of Pompeii, the scoria, ashes, sand
and lava vomited forth far exceeded the
dimensions of the volcano itself, while
in 1860 Htna disgorged over twenty
times it's own mass. Vesuvius has sent
its ashes into Syria, Egypt and Turkey.
1t hurled stones of 800 pounds weight to

The Sunday Question in Belgium.

NJ Vandenpeereboom, the Belgian
minister of railways, posts and tele-

rest for postmen. At present there is
but one delivery on Sundays throughout
Belgium, but this is too much for M !.
Vandenpeereboom. He has therefore
caused special stamp to be made,
which is to be known as the Dominica
stamp" bearing in French and Flemish
the words, mot to be delivered on Sun
day" This stamp will be issued on
Saturday, and it is desired that those
who are in favor of no Sunday delivery
will tear off the portion containing the
tain sort of referendum on the
question of Sunday delivery, and also
at the same time to call public attention
to the matter: and by that means arrive
at a solution of the question in a COM
plete postal day of rest on Sundays.

THAT WAR ROMANCE.
Fighting Joe Hooker was Not DR.
Before Chancenorsville.

Before Chance1lorsvi1Ie.
A great deal Of indignation has been
reused among veterans who served
under Gen. Joe Hooker by statement
made by Col Kiliaen Van Rensselaer,
that the battle of Charlottesville was
lost because Hooker was drunk on the
field. Thomas Lawler, who was Gen.
Hooker's private secretary, and who
was with him when he died, made this
explanation yesterday Of the probable
origin of the story. "Gen. Hooker was
standing, early in the action, near one
of the columns supporting the portico
of an old-fashioned house. A round
shot struck the pillar and frag-
ment of the flying stone struck Hooker
on the head stunning him. He recov-
cred in a moment, or thought he had,
and mounted his horse to ride away.
He had gone but short distance when
he tainted and fell from his horse. An
effort was made to revive him with
brandy, but he could not swallow it,
and some Of the liquor was spilled over
his clothes. The smell Of the liquor
may have caused somebody to think
that Hooker had been drinking, but he
had not. 1t is also absolutely untrue
than Gen. Hooker ever said God Al
mighty can't whip the army of the Po-
tomac.' Everyone who knew Gen.
Hooker will know how i'm possible it is
that he should ever have uttered such
q sentiment. "-Ne2y York Press.

An Odd Survival.

People often wonder, says the Phila-
delphia Record, why many Of the iron
sailing vessels have white painted sides
panelled in the shape Of ports, especial
1y those trading towards the far East.
Warshlps used to be painted the same
way, and were often sent to shell the
villages of pirates who killed the crews
and looted the cargoes Of valuable YES
sells. The pirates soon learned to know
the vessels by their painted sides, and
kept out of sight when a vessel of that
kind appeared. To still frighten away
the pirates, who even now exist in
China, Java and the Borneo waters, the
old custom often proves useful.
