kinds of roads, methods of procedure,
ETC., will come from discussion. The
newspapers can do much in this way.
They have already accomplished a great
deal, but their work is necessarily pre-
1minary. 1t is in bodies OF men that
thoughts are crystalliZed into action. 1t
is time the growing sentiment in favor of
improved roads were embodied in gem
eral platform or statement of principles
a work that cannot we'll be done outside
of a convention.
Instead of questioning the value of
State Road Convention, we think our
neighbor would be working TO better
purpose by advocating county and dis
trict meetings, as well. Road improve
ment cannot be too much talked about or
too fully considered by the people. 1t
has much TO do with permanent pros
perity and enjoyment. The mass of the
people are just awakening to its import
ance and their interest in the subject
must be heightened by discussion in
local and general assem- blies.
BY all means, let us have the proposed
State convention. In addition to this, let
us have county, township and even
school district meetings to discuss the
road question. Let US get this matter be-
fore the people by every possible means
and in the strongest possible light. The
newspapers should not be given a
monopoly of such DISCUSSION. They
should not ask nor be willing to assume
SO great responsibility. Every possible
agency in promoting a good road revolu-
ton should be encouraged and the value
of the State and of other conventions
must be generally admitted.

LOST ATLANTIS NOT A MYTH
A Professor Believes 1t Was Really the
American Continent

Z,
Ignatus Donnelly finds supporter of
MS Atlantis theory in Sir Daniel Wilson.
PRESIDENT OF the University of Toronto.
VINO declares, after a great deal OF
search, that the lost Atlantis was not a
myth, but that it was really the continent
OF America. He accounts for its disap-
pearance from view in a different way.
but that is merely incidental. Donuelly's
theory, as summarized by the Milwaukee
Journal, was that the land was sub
merged by some great volcanic upheaval
and that from those who escaped to the
continents of Europe and Asia came the
tradition Of the deluge. Sir Daniel re-
Jects this explanation as being disproved
by the fact that there are no traces ofsuch
volcanic action either on the continent or
in the ocean bed. He believes that the
ancient Egyptians, the most progressive
and adventurous people of ancient times.
discovered the continent, but that in the
decline both of their learning and power
it became lost to view and existed at the
time our knowledge of Egypt begins
merely as shadowy tradition 1t is his
opinion that traces of the Egyptians of
those days are to be sought in the ruined
cities of Central America, whose origin
has nevor been determined or even been
made the basis of any reasonable theory.
Such discovery would furnish a sub
stantial basis for the legend of the lost
Atlantis, and the theory invests those
ruins with a new interest for the anti
quarianS.

in Paris.
The RECORD MON is in receipt of a
printed programme, from Paris, Of a con-
cert given there by Mime. Marchesi on
the afternoon of May I'd, under the
patronage of the Marchioness of Dufferin
and Ava, and, shy the kind permission
of the Countess Caithness, Duchesse de
Pomar, in the ballroom at 124 Avenue de
Wagram."
Among the few artists appearing were
Nine. Emma Nevada, the Baroness Pop
Marchesi, Miss Gertrude Aud Ger

Plan, Cesare Casella and Rataele Pam
zani. The prices were % for reserved
seats and 81 for regular admission.
Miss Heyman and Miss Aud (Carley)
are well-known Sacramento young ladies
who are pursuing their musical studies
in Paris. They had two numbers each
on the programme, as did the others, and
Miss Aud was called out six times. one
OF the leading ladies' magazines of Paris
has this TO say of Miss Auld's singing:
Miss Gertrude Aud, who sang an air
from the 'NOces de Jeannette,' is d
pretty, fair girl with rose-leaf COM
pIeXlon and most perfectly crystalline
and blrd-lke high soprano; she was &C
companied on the flute by NJ Henne-
bains, and it was puzzling to know when
the instrument ceased and the voice took
up the refrain, SO absolutely true was the
tone and 50 pure the notes that dropped
like gems from the pretty lips. Miss
Aud, who is an American, and has
studied two years with Madame Mer-
chest, reminds one in voice somewhat of
Marie Van Zandt. Miss Aud has per-
haps more fullness in her medium notes
however, and facilite de diction that is
truly remarkable. This young girl is a
rising star of great magnitude unless
am very much mistaken"

SAVED THE PUP
The Noble Deed of an Intelligent Irish
Setter Dog.

Inc NODl0 Dee0 OF an intelligent Irish
Setter Dog.
John J. Bronner, the well known mar
ket hunter, has an Irish setter dog that is
gifted with almost human intelligence.
On Saturday some boys had a puppy
which they were teaching to swim by
throwing it into China Slough, and if
Bronner had not happened along with his
setter the boys would have been minus
their pup.
The little fellow had floundered about
till it became ratified, and having got
about hundred feet from the bank was
unable to get back.
The Irish-setter took in the situation at
glance and plunging into the pond was
soon beside the drowning pup. Placing
his nose beneath the pups head, the in
telligent dog lifted the little fellows head
out ofthe water and guided it to the shore
as gently as a strong man would that OF a
drowning tellow-creature.
And yet there are men who can find il
in their natures to go about promiscu-
ously poisoning all dogs that they can
reach, and there are masters so heartless
as to abuse their dogs which would risk
their own lives TO save those of the men
who kick and cuff them.

James j. Cor bett will be seen at the

scenes incidents that are claimed TO have
happened in Corbett's life. The career If
this young actor-pugilist reads almost
like romance. He began his business
career as clerk in the Nevada Rank of
California, later became professor of box
ing at the Olympic Club, San Francisco
During this time he often appeared in
amateur theatricals and so successful was
ne IN these performances that he fol-
lowed the advice given him by his
parents and numerous friends and
decided to adopt the stage as a
profession. Whether he had won
his memorable battle at New Or
leans last fall or not he would have con-
tinued in his present play. is his asser-
ton. He possesses, it is said, a very
pleasing appearance behind the foot
lights, is light and graceful on his feet
ard perfectly at ease in all that he under
takes. All the scenery used in the pIav
of "Gentleman Jack" was especially
painted for the production and is de-
scribed as being elaborate. The comma
ny, we are assured, has been carefully Sc
lected, and includes those who have made
Unusually ulsliuCI Nus IN prominent met

warblers. The box sheet opens to-mor-

But lie Didn't Know as Much as He
Thought He DID.
A man who put up at the International
Hotel Saturday came very near having
quarters at the morgue yesterday. He
had SIPS in his pocket, and the clerk adj
vised him to leave most of it in the hotel
safe, as it was evident that he was from
the country and not aware Of the danger
Gus pitfalls thst are laid for the unwary
who come so we'll "heeled" into the city.
The visitor reckoned he was able TO
take just as good care of his money as
any one else could, so he showed it into
his pocket and went out to see the ele-
plant.
1t is supposed he hunted for the beast
in the jungle out in the vicinity of East
Park, and that he got stepped on before
he knew he had found it, for when he
showed up about midnight, he looked as
if a whole herd of elephants had been
tramping on him and a score of wildcats
Clawing at him.
And he didn't have a cent left When
the clerk looked at him with "didn't-I-
tell-you-so?" expression he contemptu-
ously staggered off to his room.
Sometime afterward the clerk, in pass
ing the mans room, detected a strong
odor OF gas. a less practical nose than
his might have been deceived, but he
knew that a mixture of all the various
summer drinks in town would not have
given mans breath such a well-defined
and pungent odor.
The door was tried, but it was locked,
and it was found necessary to force it
open. The gas was found escaping, and
the man was nearly asphyxiated. A few
minutes later and he would have been
dead.
Like the fellow who tickled the mules
leg, he is not nearly so good-looking as
he was, but he knows great deal more
than he did two days ago.

At the picnic on Saturday veDder of
toy balloons, named c. Borella. was ap-
preached by powerful young fellow
with one arm, who halls from DavisviIle

menced striking the balloons with a

struck him a heavy blow with his fist,
cutting his check open badly.
Officers Ahern and Dole hastened to
the scene, when just as they arrived
someone touched his cigar to one of the
balloons and the whole bunch exploded
with great force, knocking down several
persons who stood near by and burning
Ahern's eyebrows.
Generally a crowd is divided when
trouble occurs, but this time all hands
united in characterizing the action of
Sheedy as entirely unwarranted and
brutal. Ahern soon found him, although
he had changed his light coat and hat
with one of his friends for dark one,
and arrested him.

Is seconded in its efforts by the press in

OF the question. Nothing is easier to
add UNNECESSARILY 10 the comfort and

Graught capacity of animals and the use

harder than to get people to avail them

country few things have been written so
much and so well about as the necessity
Tor good roads, and in no other line Of
public improvement has so little been
accomplished. Every body agrees on the
subject, but nobody will do anything.
The agreement is practically universal.
but the inaction is pretty nearly so. 1t is
noteworthy that everywhere movements
projected to improve the public roadways
are instituted by men least likely to
benefit therefrom. Newspapers, school
men, engineers and the ike are con-
stantly trying to inspire the actual rural
element with full sense of the import

that is most interested. both from the
point of utility and convenience, has re-

The attractions of this State would be

one it will perform great work.
