SAW HER USE THE POISON.
Anthony Heller Witnessed Rose Zol-
doSki's Awful Crime.

Rishland Center, Wis, April o
Some sensational evidence against
Rose Zoldoski, for whom pardon is
now being asked from Gov. Peck, has
come to light. Anthony Heller. who
resides near here, claims he was in
Constantine's store when Rose Zoi-
doski came in with some oysters in
her hand to purchase chocolate creams.
After she had secured the creams She
went to the opposite side Of the store.
where she emptied a phial into an en-
velope and then put some of the con-
tents of the envelope upon an oyster
and one of the chocolate drops. Heller
followed Miss ZOldOSki to Ella Maly's
place of employment and noticed that
when she came out Miss Maly having
refused the oysters) she dropped the
oysters near the curb. Heller picked
them up and examined them and then
warned Miss Maly. Heller says he re-
Trained from divulging what he knows
at the trial out of sympathy for Miss
Zoldosk's father, who is a country
man of his.

STEADY, MIR. STEAD.
YOUR BOOK DOESN'T EXACTLY
SUIT AMERICANS.
News Companies Decide Not to Han
die If Christ Came to
Chicago.

New York, April THE American
and Union News companies have re-
fused to handle w. T. Stead's book,
If Christ Came to Chicago, and have
notified their dealers to cancel all
orders
1--WE have refused to sell the book, ~
said w. II. Williams, manager Of the
Union News company today, because
we do not think it proper. In the
first place the title of the book is OBJ
jectionable. We look upon it as
little short of blasphemous. 1t seems
to me that the title has been selected
merely for the purpose of attracting
attention and not because of any Spe-
cial application to the subject matter
Of the book.
Another objection is that not only
the names Of the keepers but the ad-
dresses Of all the diSreputable resorts
in Chicago are given, making the vol
ume among other things a directory
Of sin. The attempt to conceal it by
a mass of other matter is merely beat
ing about the bush. The reputation
of the author does not palliate the
OffenSe in any way"

while hour after hour passed. 1t was
not until after he had travelled a dis
lance of at least twenty-one and one
half leagues that he thought it time to
call halt and proceed on his return
journey. SO far as he could see the
distance still to be traversed might be
very considerable, with chances for
the cave opening out, as the floor
seemed to be we'll trodden by human
feet. He retraced his steps as speedily
as possible, and after being under
ground for upward of twentyfour
hours found himself once more at the
entrance of the cave. Mr.. LerOyal
promised to make further eXplOra tons
before long. 1t is expected that a
party fully equipped for the explora-
ton of the wonderful cavern Of the
dead will soon be fitted out under the
guidance of the discoverer, and the
outcome of the investigations will be
awaited with interest. The natives
of the locality, as, in fact, the Indian
population in general in Mexico, be-
lieve that at some place near the south
western coast of Mexico there exists
a great white city with countless
treasure which has never been seen
by white men, and the approach to
which is so intricate and cleverly con-
cealed that a stranger has never en-
tered its solitary precincts.

Berlin, April THE greatest interest
is taken here in the exchange Of courte-
sizes at Venice today between Emperor
William and King Humbert. The Won
Moltke, with the emperor on board. ar
rived off Venice this morning. The
emperor. was greeted with hearty
cheers on all sides.
Upon the Won Moltke's arrival in the
basin Of st. Mark, King Humbert and
his nephew, the Duke of Abruzzi,
boarded the ship, where they We're
cordially received by the German
emperor.
The king and emperor remained IN
converse ton about twenty minutes,
after which Humbert returned to the
palace. Shortly after, William re-
turned the visit of the king at the
palace.
In response to continued "vivas" the
emperor and king presented them
selves at the window of the ducal
palace and bowed acknowledgements
The meeting is believed to have no
political significance beyond an avowal
of the cordial personal friendship ex-
listing between the royal houses OF
Italy and Germany.
All arrangements are complete for
the approaching meeting between
Emperor William and Emperor Frau
els Joseph, at Vienna. After leaving
Vienna the emperor will 60 to CObure
to be present at the wedding of the

Victoria Melita, of Coburg- Edinburg
At COburg William will meet Queen
Victoria.
The idea current in some quarters that
these meetings Of the allied emperOrs
have some bearing upon the possible
disarmament of the armies of Europe
may be dismissed as unworthy of seri-
Gus consideration. This is clearly dem
Onsrated by the fact that the next

AZTEC IDOLS.
Many Are Found Deep Down in a
Great Mexican Cave.

Mexico City, April What appears
to be the yerihcation Of AN old Aztec
fable of a buried race of caye-dWeIIerS
and hidden city in southwestern Mex
leo is a matter in which local Scien.
list are interested at present. l.. Z.
Leroyal, a French engineer, who has
lived long in this republic, has just
arrived from the wildS of the south
west and reports that he has diScoy-
cred in the state of Guerrero a huge
natural cave, which he believes to be
the greatest in Mexico, if not III the
world. He says it is much larger than
the famous cavern Of Cacahuamilpa,
situated some distance south of Guer-
nayaca, which hitherto has been sup
posed to be the largest natural cave
in existence in Mexico. Mr.. Leroyal
after penetrating a considerable dis
lance in the cave, determined to make
a thorough investigation of it, and
accordingly few days ago furnished
himself with sufficient food for Il day,
provided himself with lanterns. etc,
and set out upon his task all alone As
plan of the cave, but did not antici-
pate that his task would be so ardu-
Gus as it proved. At first the bottom
of the cave was a gradual slope down
ward, then changed upward and after
ward alternated for the most part be-
tween deScentS and aScentS. Here and
there, however, a level bottom Of great
width was met The height of the
cave varied, as might naturally be ex-
pected; in some places it was several
hundred feet high. For some distance
from the entrance no trace of human
beings was found. Occasionally mag
nificent stalactites and stala gmites,
the finest Mr. LeroyaI had ever seen,
were met with.
After proceeding for some hours he
came upon what had evidently been an
ancient cemetery, as there were at
least 400 petrified bodies, together
with ancient idols, ETC. There was also
a fountain of beautiful clear spring
water which was found to be excellent.
Some of the tools as we'll as two or
three skulls Mr.. Leroyal brought away
with him, and they are now in this
city. The appearance of the cemetry
thus lighted up for the first time for
hundreds of years was grewsome in
the extreme and we'll calculated to
shake the nerves of the explorer. Mr..
Leroyal continued his exploration
