CATACOMBs AT PALERMO.

and four smaller ones, and it is histor-
ical that the ball of this church rung
the alarm when the massacre OF the
Sicilian Vespers was enacted in 1882.
The Archbishop's palace is another
twelfth century memorial.
The Museum of Antiquities has
many rare treasures, among them the
bronze ram, a remarkable piece of
ancient sculpture, the work of Greek
artists. A fine collection of Sicilian
coins, of interest to the numismatist,
is seen there, and bronze group from
Pompeii.
The catacombs are very repulsive to
the American or European tourist at
first, the exposed dead giving one a
horrible sense of the emptiness of all
worldly fame or pleasure. The bodies
are stood up in rows, dressed as in life,
and holding out card, with age and
date of death. Glass eyes being SUBJ
stituted for real ones obliterated by
decay, make the scene more horrible.
The friends of the deceased used to
dress them at intervals in fresh clothes,
until the authorities interfered on
sanitary grounds, and that practice is
10 longer permitted.
Syracuse is 80 rich in historic lore,
and traditions of the past, that to visit
it is almost equal to course in the
classics. The tomb of Arohimedes is
not its greatest attraction. 1t has a
remarkable cathedral, formerly an
open air temple where Plato pondered
his new philosophy, and Cicero formu-
lated his theories of wisdom. There,
also, is the "Ear of Dionysius, cave
with an entrance resembling human
ear. At this horrible and grotesque
slit, the tyrant was accustomed to sit
and listen, hoping to discover the poll
tical secrets of his prisoners chained
within.
Marble and granite pillars, Greek
theatres and Roman amphitheatres and
the premises of the fair Arethusa, now
turned into a fountain for washer
women, make scenes of interest for the
tourist which are not soon forgotten.

of this long black tie are abroadin the
land. The prettiest has one OF the
strings cut in slanting line that
tapers from the full width of the rib

Ills path Is sunshine; 30 he sings,
OF darkened ways and ruins old;
His memory, tenacious, clings
To that worn theme, the graveyard mold
He tells In rhyme of fiery darts,
-r OF hidden tortures, fierce and slowl
He has trust in broken hearts
And bears about q weight Of woe.
His ghosts will not be laid to rest;
=. The fates pursue him but to scourge1
And his most lively strain at best,
Is solemn as funeral dirge.
That flowers from the mold may spring,
Night be succeeded by tomorrow,
Cannot inspire him to sing;
His Tyre is tuned to breathe OF sorrow.

PREMIER RosEBERYs POLICY
Home Rule for ireland Still a Liberal
Party Issue.

LONDON, March l3.-At the meeting OF
the Liberal lenders Lord Rosebery, the
new premier, alluded with considerable
feeling to the retirement Of Mr.. Gladstone,
saying that they would greatly miss that
sublime and pathetic figure which en-
riched and ennobled, not merely the treas
ury bench, but the house itself.
at was thought lie continued, that
in the high Office to which l have been
called there should be declaration of
policy. That is not necessary, as we stand
where we did. There will he no change of
measures, and although there has been a
disastrous change of men, they are all
pledged to the same policy.
"rhe Welsh church question will be
pressed to a definite and successful con-
clusion. In regard TO The Irish question,
we are bound to II by ties of honor and af-
fection. The policy of home rule will not
be less definitely pursuedn

WASHINGTON, March ls-One of the
historic figures of the war was placed ON
the retired list of the army yesterday by
operation of law OH account of age. The
officer referred TO is Major Thomas H..
Rose, Eighteenth infantry, stationed at
Fort Clark, Texas. Major Rose enlisted
In the volunteer service as private in the
Twelfth Pennsylvania infantry in 1861,
and rose to the grade of colonel of volun-
teers in 1868. lie gained special distlnc-

cape of Union prisoners in Libby prison by
means of n tunnel. He has since been

urer, and became involved in n quarrel
with Flaherty at the arsenal, where both
sides are camped on their guns, Spencer
was bruially beaten, but managing to get
his gun in position he commenced an in
discriminate fusillade on his assailants,
Flaherty was slightly wounded, and a
spent bullet struck woman on the street,
but did not seriously injure her.
The Moore element are guarding the old
city records in one part of the city with a
trusted squad Of armed men, and the
Gregg gang climbed over the rnmparts OF
the council chamber in another part of
the town, and are transacting business
with a new set of records.

THIRTEEN MANGLED BODIES.


WLKEsBARRE, Pa, March 13.-The bod
les of the thirteen men who were buried
by cave in at the Gaylord mine three
weeks ago have been recovered. The first
body was recovered late yesterday after
noon. 1t had been crushed beyond all
recognition. The bones were placed in II
casket and hoisted to the surface shortly
before midnighN
At about a. m. two more bodies were
brought to the surface. They, too, were
crushed and entirely unrecognizable. Mrs.
Walsh, whose husband was among the
thirteen unfortunate men, believes that
one of the three bodies is that of her hus-
band. The work continued all night, un-
til finally, at Z o'clock this morn.sg, the
thirteen mangled bodies had been brought
up, but none were recognizable The
theory that the men died from starvation
is exploded, and there is no question but
that all perished when the fall occurred.
