There Is reason To believe that the flesh
of a young boiled alligator is barely dis

meat Of the animals hat are usually Con-

East End Of London. I have never desired

Sontals and other casteless natives greed

The flesh was very pale in color. and
probably was much superior to the flesh
OF snakes and rats and such like crea-
lures which form the ordinary food Of

IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES IN CRETE.
Professor Haltherr's Researches In Behalf
OF the Archaeological Institute.

AT a meeting OF the Archaeological In
stitute of America I'm the Columbia Col
lege buildings, on Thursday night. says
the New York Times, President Merriam
made an interesting report on the recent
explorations In the Island OF Crete. In
the Mediterranean, under the auspices OF
the institute.
1T is believed that the soil OF Crete"
he said. hides the answer TO many Of
the problems OF early culture and art.
The ancients began their history OF Greek
sculpture with the advent of the Cretan
artists. Dipornus and Scyllis. in the Pelo-
ponnesus, for they were founders OF "a
new school. and the beginners OF a new
era In historic art. Everything known TO
the island indicates It's Importance TO the
archaeolugist and historian. and leads
him TO hope for its speedy exploration
Schliemann tried it and failed, and other
European psychologists and Archaeology
cal schools have been repulsed. one of
the first projects Of our American Insti-
tute after its foundation was exploration
there, but the plan was not then realized.
Since then the only person who has
really achieved success within its bounds
is Professor Federico Haltherr. of the
University Of Rome, who spent three or
four years there about a decade since.
He II was who discovered the great Cor
tyna inscription. Numerous other ar
chaic inscriptions. together with the I'M
portant objects OF the ldaean grotto. re-
warded the Jealous and well-directed
search OF Or. Haltherr.
Last summer Or. Haltherr accepted an
offer from our institute to spend the win
ter In Crete and explore the country
again. He arrived In Gambia about the
lst of last November. Under great Diff
culties he explored a large part Of the
eastern half of the island, and the yield
of Inscriptions was considerable. The
most important is All imperial rescrtpt.

the Levant. Another is an archaic Greek.

tracy, that OF Ephoroi. SO familiar I'm
Spartan regions. Among sculptured, OBJ
jects secured by DIR. Haltherr are four
heads of members Of the family OF Au-
gustus. a head Of Commodus. a Hellenistic
head of Hera, and a colossal statue of a
Cosmos, or other personages of the Ma
cedonian or Roman epoch.
Acting in conjunction with the Cretan
Syllogos, DIR. Haltherr attempted to Sc.
cure the preservation Of the wall upon
which the great inscription OF Gortyna Is
engraved by purchasing and removing IL
to the Museum OF Gambia. The agreement
had bene made with the owners OF the
property. and the compensation had been
arranged. but the removal involved the
divergence OF a stream from its present
channel. To this the adjacent proprietors
objected so strenuously and vigorously
that the project was suspended for a
time. and political complications have
added 10 the difficulties"

Chicago. April oath.
Frank l.. Stanton. the sweetest singer OF
the southland to-day, is visiting Chicago.
and while comparing It's fine points with
Atlanta's and renewing acquaintance with
old friends. is considering propositions
for the production Of his forthcoming
idyllic drama, Under the Peach-Tree."
Mr.. Stanton Is known less by name
than by his poems, which appear from
time to time In the Atlanta Constitution
and go the rounds OF the press Of the
country. He tells me that his first news
paper work was done In 1863 as IN office
boy on the Savannah News. where he
used TO run errands for Joel Chandler
Harris, who was then editing the State
news for that paper. After his office-boy
days he never saw Harris again until
they were confreres on the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Meanwhile Stanton had worked
on several country papers and had edited
the Rome (Ga.) Tribune. and Harris had
attained the worldwide literary celebrity
which n now enjoys as the creator OF
Uncle Remus and as a teller OF southern
dialect stories. Mr.. stanton writes much
good poetry. but only one volume OF his
verse has been published. II IL q little
book called Songs OF the Day." and was

Many OF the poems In this new aollec-

Inter-Ocean. as they have appeared 10
these columns. I notice that they have
also had great. favor abroad. Nearly
every week one h printed In Jerome \.

tells me that they have brought nius

paying basis. and has ever since enjoyed
prosperity. W stated above Mr. ingalls,
is now president OF the Zig Four and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. The Big Four In
largely a Vanderbilt company. and thus
It's president In closely allied with the
great money powers Of this country.
CHARACTERISTICS SUMMED UP.
Mr.. 1ngalIs's characteristics have been
summed up as follows:
"Mr. Ingalls,. by this wonderful develop
ment OF the resources OF his road, has
shown himself TO be a nan Of remarkable
talents and capabilities He IL charac-
terizcd by quick perceptions. acute pene-
~tration, and great intellectual powers.
With n magnetic and enthusiastic tenn
permanent and a willingness to take his
full share Of labor. he has infused his
W spirit into the entire working force
OF the road, so that II has now become
one Of the best-managcd railroads In the
West. His andbility and kindness arc
never failing. He Is always accessible 10
the humbicst employee OF the road. and is
prompt In the thorough investigation OF
every grievance presented to him"
Mr.. Ingalls, has figured very prominently
In this city. He was president OF one
Exposition Board. and Is credited as be-
ing the originator and mainstay OF the
Technical School. His interest In art has
caused him to he n lifelong friend Of the
Art Museum. AS for his standing hero.
IL can be stated that almost every once
in the city has been rendered him. but
he has uniformly declined. He has often
said that his political ambitions were
satisfied when ne became president OF
the Common Council Of Boston. The
Grand Central Depot Is one of Mr.. In
galls's monuments
1t Is interesting to note that Mr.. ingalls,
Is "A Democrat; also that he belongs TO
no secret order. His two notices are
TO work hard. no matter about the salary,
and TO lay aside for a rainy day a portion
Of the earnings.
About two years ago Mr.. ingalls,, In
remembrance Of his early joys and
troubles. gave to Bridgeton Academy a
magnificent har that has been named in
honor Of the donor. Ingalls, Hall. 1t con-
taius the library. reading-rooms. gymna-
