FREELAhD PIONEERS.
They Have Gone to Find Their Valley Of
Eden III the A frican NNildcrness.

They Have Gone to Find Their Valley Of
Eden III the African Wilderness.
DR.. Theodor Hertzka's plan to found
HI ideal commonwealth in east Africa is
being carried into effect with great ra-
pidity. Late in February the English
members of the pioneer expedition to
Mount Kenia left London for the conti-
nent, and week ago the pioneer corps
sailed for Mombasa. on the east African
coast. Their ultimate object is to organ
ize a colony in which land and capital
will be free. and everybody will be well
clothed. we'll fed. well sheltered aud well
educated. Their immediate object is to
explore the land round their so called
valley of Eden. on Tana river, and to Sc
lect and limit exactly the territory which
the colony or commonwealth of Free
land is to occupy.
DR.. Hertzi:a has been exceptionally
successful in obtaining powerful patron
age for his vcntursone enterprise. Not
only has the British government granted
him land and moral support. but the
Austrian authorities have also given the
little band of reformers much enconr-
ment and some money. The Royal NIu-
scum of Natural History in Vienna. for
instance, has presented the pioneer en-
pedition with the apparatus and mstru-
nents for procuring information and
collections of the flora and fauna of the
valley of Eden.
The Royal and Imperial Military and
Geographical institute of Vienna. the
Soutlr kensington museum and other So
cieties have also given practical proof of
their interest in the explorations. All
fresh knowledge will be promptly com
municated to the Royal Geographical
and other societies. Among other things
the Freelanders have set themselves TO
do is to institute Il regular service Of
small steamboats, from the mouth of the
river Tana to the limit of navigation.

GOOD LOOKS SAVED HER.
A Young Woman With Beautiful Hair Had

"a Peculiar Way of Stealing.
A young lady employed by a gold and
silver smith in New York has only her
good looks to thank for the fact that she
was allowed to resign without being
prosecuted for theft. She hasan extraor-
dinarily fine head Of hair. which she al
lows to hang loosely over her shoulders
and nearly down To l.or waist. From
time to time it WAS notice, hat the gold

jewelry and gem settings, and That even
allowing TOR the filings. which are most
carefully preserved, there was distinct
leakage. Steps We're taken to subject
the employees to a more rigid search,
but no discovery was made until the
young lady with the long hair quar-
relied with her roommate over love af-
fair, and in fit of jealousy her rival
gave away the most interesting story.
The young lady had kept her hair
we'll creased, and then while at work
would frequently pass her fingers through
it casually. as though it were matter of
habit. By the process she accumulated
good deal of gold dust in her hair and
sometimes dropped some diamond chips
as well. Every night she conbed out
her locks with the smallest of tooth
combs, carefully collected the peculiarly
purloined treasure trove and sold it with
out any difficulty. She broke down COM
pletely when taxed with the offense,
made restitution as far as she was able,
and her tears and promises were so pro.
fuse that she was then allowed to depart
in peace, although her employers some
what inconsistently took measures to
prevent her obtaining further employ
ment in the business in which she was an
expert.-New York Cor. St. Louis Globe

There has been a great deal
done of late years toward reali. m
on the stage. We have had real
fire engines. real water, real
burglars, real horses, &c., but it
never seems to enter the head of
the average manager to produce
real life or natural acting. Nine
tenths Of the plays require the
most exaggerated style of acting,
The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1894-04-14

and as common people are in the
majority this style of work will
always have large following.
The refined class living in the
small cities, that cannot readily
enjoy this sensational class of
plays and players are compelled
to go to the large cities to see the
best acting or stay at home and
wait for the really good artists,
which sometimes visit one night
stands. Madeline Merli, who will
appear at the Opera House on
Tuesday evening next. April 18TH,
is a hrst-class actress. and as such
her engagement in our city should
be encouraged bya large audience
of our best people.

ANCIENT sTATuARY.
The Enormous Cost of Some Historic
Pieces,

The Enormous Cost OF Some Historic
Pieces.
The famous Colossus of Rhodes,
which has been described so often by
cleaners of the curious that the subject
is becoming threadbare, cost 800 ''tal-
entS," sum equal to about 1915, 200 in
United States currency. This sum is
trifie, however, when compared to the
price paid for colossal statue of
Mercury, which was made for the
Gau1ish city of Averni by Zelodorus.
The artist was engaged upon this great
work for ten long years, and the total
cost to the city would equal 81, ,775, 900.
What the gold and ivory statue of
Athena, in the Parthenon, or the cele-
brated ''Olymplan Zeus,'' both of which
were made by Phidias, cost is not stated
by any of the ancient or modern au-
thorities, but that it was enormous may
be inferred from statements made be-
low: Athena was arrayed in drapery
made of pure hammered gold weighing
40 talents. The coin value of this won.
derfu1 drapery at the United States
mint to-day would approximate $5SO,00O
OF the Olympian Zeus it has been sait
that sit was a monster idol of gold ant
ivory worth more than the cash asset
of many modern kingdoms" The heat
of this great image was covered will
locks of pure gold, each weighing si'
minae, or about the value of $25, 900 il
