Tho Electric Light Trust Investigating
Committee Meets md Fails to Agree.
PHILADELPHIA, April lG.-The special
committee OF the house to investigate
the electric light trust in Philadelphia
met for organization at the Lafayette
hotel dnd adjourned in two divisions.
The disagreement rested between Chair
man Losch and tho remainuer OF the
committee, who united at the start upon
u line oil action entirely at variance
with Mr.. Losch's views on investiga.
tons. Mr.. LosCh claimed that as chair
man OF tho committee he had q right to
appoint the secretary, and insisted upon
this right. Tho committee refused TO
concede this right, Mr.. Ritter declaring
that custom was not law, and after q
brief war OF words, in which Chairman
Losch spoke his mind in language not
ut all to BIO misunderstood, he adjourned
the proceedings with notice to meet
next Monday evening In Harrisburg.
The committee, however, declined TO
stay adjourned.
Chairman Losch, Immediately upon
tho refusal TO recognize his claim to ap.
point Clayton L. Erb as secretary, left
the room. declining to continue the
meeting. The four neutrality-suspicious.,
ex.Speakcr Lawrence OF Washington,
John NJ. Scott, Frank NJ. Ritter and
William J.. Cassin, the only Democrat
on the committee, decided to 90 ahead
with the organization, and promptly
elected Mr.. Lawrence as the chairman,
and George L. Gilbert, clerk Of the com.
mon council, as secretary. What they
transacted in the way OF business was
done in executive session. Mr.. Ritter
acted as temporary secretary, and an
attempt at permanent organization fol

LUMBUs.


NEw YoRE, April lG.-The Duke oil
Veragua, tho eleventh lineal descendant
OF Christopher Columbus awoke this
morning in the land discovered by his
illustrious ancestorio or the frsttime. The
dreary, rainy weather in which he land
cd from tho New York had given place
30 alright sunshiny morning, more like
that to be expected in the dukes native
country. A Spanish flag hoated from
his window in the Hotel Waldorf, on
tho Fifth avenue side in honor OF the
distinguished guest within.
Commander Dickens, OF tho United
States navy, and Mrs. Dickens, who are
to serve rs pilots to the ducal party dur.
ing their stay in tho United States, and
John Austin Stevens. representing the
mayor and municipal committee OF 100,
paid their respects TO the foreign visit
ors and offered to accompany them to
mass ut st. PatriCk's cathedral. Their
services being accepted. the party left
the Hotel Waldorf for tho cathedral ut
10:45 a. m. in two carriages. The party
was composed OF the Duke Of Veragua,
his wife, Elizabeth OF Aguilera, Duchess
of Veragua; his daughter Maria, and
his son tho dukes brother, the Mar
Quis OF Barbolea, and his nephew
Commander Dickens and Mrs. Dickens
and John Austin Stevens.
When the party arrived at the Cathe'
dral a small crowd was ON Fifth avenue
awaiting the dukes arrival. Many
deierentially paid their respects by
dolling their hats, TO which the duke re'
sponded in kind. A rather painful de-
lay ensued, during which tho party re.
manned outside awaiting an invitation
10 enter.
Solemn mass in honor OF the occasion
was celebrated. Archbishop Corrigan
occupied tho throne.
After tho first gospel the Rev. NJ. ].
Lavelle assembled the pulpit steps and
said: I'VE have present with us to-
day his grace, the Duke OF Voragua, the
head OF the eleventh generation in
lineal descent from Christopher Column
bus, tho lllustrious %discoyerer OF this
great country. He here MS tint
guest OF the nation. He has been vel
coined already by the secular authori
ties of this nation and city, and l, in
tho name OF the archbishop, in youl
name, and in tho name OF the Catholic
people OF New York, welcome him tc
the land in which Christopher Colum'
bus was tho first to set his foot. The
longer tho duke remains with US, the
more he secs OF this vast nation, with
its mighty rivers and fertile plains
teaming with plenty, and a happy poo,
pie, no will thank God and thrill with
Joy that he had an ancestor to whose
fortitude and course and perseverance
is due all these grand results"
After mass the ducal party were
driven back to the hotel where they
passed the day quietly.

ADDITIONS TO HISTORY.
The Discovery OF tho four Gospels at MT
sinai of Vast Importance.

The DisCONcr9 NJ tue -FOUR hOsptla ut mt
Sinai of Vast Importance.
LONDON, April 16.-Ihe Importance
TO the religious world OF the discovery
at Mt. Sinai, OF the oldest and only
complete copy OF the four gospels in old
Syriac can hardly be exaggerated, Prof.
Harris writes the following additional
particulars which u full translation has
revealed:
Mrs. Lewis allows me to state that
the text Of the new gospels will contain
some interesting surprises, For in
stance, the last twelve verses OF st.
| Mark, OF which a few traces appear in
the Curetons' edition, are entirely abb
sent in the Sinai copy, and no substi-
tute is offered for them. II il probable
this transfers the evidence OF the old
Syriac version to the opposite side OF the
dispute as to the authenticity OF the last
twelve verses. Another reading which
which will interest many biblical schol-
ars, and which | confess pleases mo, is
that in the Angelic hymn, The reading
follows the old-fashioned text against
the modern editors, and reads; Good
will to men," instead of the enigmatical
ITO men OF good will"
Another oriental discovery, just an
nounced, ia in quite another line, Prof.
Boeyer, OF the Munich university, in
recent researches among the mummy
graves OF Achmin has discovered, nota-
ably upon the embalmed person OF one
Princess Aft, an Egyptian royal high
ness entombed some 5000 years ago,
certain cosmetics formerly used by
ladies OF fashion in the lands OF the
Pharaohs. BY subjecting these COM
positions to chemical analysis he has
been enabled to determine their in
gradients and exact proportions, One
OF these cosmetics, it would appear, had
been an eye-brightener which no pro-
fessional beauty of the period could be
reasonably expected to dispense with,
and which must have been an eXpen-
aive luxury, inasmuch as its materials
were imported from Hindoostan, 1t
had the property OF imparting u vord-
ant sheen to the iris OF the human eye,
Prof. Baeyer promises to make these
cosmetics available to the contempor-
ary female beauty.
