A WONDERFUL VOLUME.
L Bible Copied by Monk Centuries Ago
and Now in Washington.

The most beautiful volume among
the half million in the congressional
| library in Washington is said to be
| Bible which was transcribed by
monk in the sixteenth century. 1t
could not be matched to-day in the
best printing office in the world. The
parchment is in perfect preservation.
Every one of its thousand pages is
study. The general lettering is in
German text, each letter perfect, as is
every one, in cold blacl, ink, without
scratch or blot from lid to lid. AT the
beginning of each chapter the first let
ter is very large. usually two or three
inches long, and is brightly llumin-
ated in red and blue ink. Within each
of these capitals is drawn the figure of
some saint. some incident of which
the chapter tells. is Illustrated. There
are two colunrs On Il page. and no.
where is trcccablc the slightest irregu
larity of line, space. CT formation of
the letters Evcn under 4 magnifying
glass they seem i,lv-lcss. This precious
volume is Icpt Ul>-cr q glass case,
which is sometimes lifted to show
that all the pages are as perfect as the
two which lie open. A legend relates
that a young man who had sinned
deeply became monk and resolved to
do penance for his misdeeds. He de-
termined to copy the Bible, that he
might learn every letter of the Divine
commands which he had violated.
Every day for many years he patiently
pursued MS task. Zach letter was
wrought iu reverence and love, and the
patient sou. found It., only companion
ship in the sanity faces which were
portrayed on these pages. When the
last touch was given to the last letter
the old man revrrcntly kissed the page
and folded the sheets together The
illustrated initials in perfection Of form
and brilliancy OF coicr surpac> any
thing produced il the present day.
With all our boastei progress, nothing
either in Europe o. America equals it.

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDICINES ?' Every body needs
take liver remedy. 1t is sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.
Every package has the Red Y
stamp on the wrapper. j. III.

7 A K E N TO } Al L
Buck Auffort and Billy Williams Face to
Face.
The Confession of Williams Reitcrat.
in the Affair.

Charles, alias Buck" Auffort,the alleged
safe blower. brought here from Orange,
Virginia, Monday evening by Detectives
Horne and Weldon, was lodged in jail yes
terday afternoon after he was photograph
ed. When he reached the Jail Inspector
Hollinberger and Detective Horne were
there to greet him. and they were present
when he was brought face to face with
BILLY" Williams, in whose confession
Auffort had been implicated.
BILLY" Williams recognized his old friend
as soon as he met him, but Buck Auf-
fort hesitated a moment before he sail,
Hello, Billy"
Then the story of the confession was
mentioned and BILLY" Williams said that
the new guest of Warden Leonard was the
Auffort to whom he referred in his confess
sion.
He repeated that Au4ort had taken part
in the safe-blowing job, and said: you
know you were in all the jobs except the
shooting of Dobbins at the Bladensburg
fight"
Il don't know anything about them"
was all that Auffort had to say.
Williams then said that every statement
he made in his confession was the truth,
although he knew that some people doubt
ed the truth of some of them.
But he said in the presence OF Aunort,
"you know they are true"
All this time Auffort was deathly pale,
was able to do any talking whatever.
Eddy Desmond was in his cell all this
time, and the members of the trio or al
legged safe blowers will be kept where they
cannot talk about the series OF crimes men-
toned in Williams confession.
Now that three of the four alleged safe
blowers are in custody. the officers Will
follow what clues they have to the where
ahouts of the missing Jack Dempsey. and
unless he is soon captured the trial OF the
case In the Criminal Court may not take
place until next month, and perhaps not
until after the summer recess.
50 far as could be learned today, there
has been no investigation of Williams
Statements concerning the alleged plot to
assassinate Sergeant DAILY, but II was
stated that this matter will be investigated
J in few days. Williams has not changed
his confession in any particular, and is
ready to lend what assistance he can to the
officers.
Lewis Pierce, the Jail guard who was
| suspended a.few days ago because it was
reported he had advised Billy. Williams
rot to make a confession to Deputy Mar
shall Springman has not yet been restored
| to duty, although it was reported he had.
| this matter is not known, but it is thought
| that he is waiting for a report on the
affair from the district attorney.
Guard Pierce denies that he had anything
to say to Williams concerning the confess
sion.
Soon after Williams reached Jail the
guard took a message to a Saloonkeeper in
South Washington for him, and that, he
says, was all he had to say or do for or
concerning Williams. That was before VIII
liams had concluded to make confession.

The question of intercollegiate foot ball
was brought up again yesterday in the
first meeting of the Harvard faculty since
the return of President Eliot from his trip
abroad. No official statement was given
out, but it was learned from authentic
sources that a motion prohibiting students
from taking part in intercollegiate foot ball
contests failed to pass by good majority.
This means that there will be no more dis
cussion of the foot ball question by the
faculty this year, and that the athletic
committee will be Unhampered in it's efforts
to have foot ball played under reform
rules.

The League Record.
ID. CTS WON WITH EASE.
G. p. o. Nine showed Under by the
Local Champions.

The team from the District Commission
ers' office walloped the representatives of
the government printing Office in a six
inning game yesterday at National Park.
The G. P. O.'s could not find Fuller but
for five scattered hits, while Horen was
batted all over the lot, Jones smashing the
first ball pitched for home run. The
team from the G. P. O. also aided matters
considerably by the number and quality
of their errors, and seemed asleep in every
thing they did. Jones, Die kinson and Hussey
each made three hits, while Fuller made
five, besides striking out ten men. Ravens
was the only man on the G. p o. team
who showed up at all well, and his throw
ing was at times very poor. 1t was car
nval of errors, and the D. C. o. team was
in it too at one or two times. Today the
bureau of engraving and printing will try
conclusions with the city post Office, and a
good game is expected. The score was as

THE cHlLD'S PRAYER.

Into her chamber went
A littlo maid ono day,
And by chair she knelt
And thus began to pray;
"Jesus, my eyes ! close;
Thy form / cannot see;
II thou art near me, Lord,
Ipray thee speak to me-"
A still small voice she heard within her soul:
"What is it, child? hear thee. Tell me rll.h
az pray thee, Lord" she said,
"That thou wilt oondescend
To tarry in my heart
And over be my friend
Tho path of life is dark,
would not go astray;
Oh, let me have thy hand
To lead mo In the way.'
"Fear not, will not leave thee, child,
alone"
She thought sho felt soft hand press her own,
"They tell me, Lord that all
The living pass away;
The aged soon must die,
And oven children may.
Oh, let my parents live
Till a woman grow,
For II they die, what can
A little orphan do2'
"Fear not, my child. Whatever ills may como,
I'll not forsalko thee till bring theo home"
Her little prayer was said,
And from her chamber now
She passed forth with the light
OF heaven upon her brow.
"Mother, I've seen the Lord,
His hand In mine felt,
And oh, heard him say
AS by my chair lmelt:
/" 'Fear not, my child. Whatever Ills may come,
I'll not forsaho thee till bring thee home.'"

Roth Died Tn Jerusalem.

Monk Gerbert, who assembled the papal
throne under the title of Sylvester ii,
anticipating Roger Bacon, made n
bronze head, which, like that owned by
the reputed inventor Of gunpowder, was
capable Of answering him like an oracle.
From this head he learned that he would
not die until he performed mass at Jeru-
salem, and so he determined to live for
ever, by taking especial care not to go to
the Holy City. Unfortunately Gerbert
soon found that brazen heads, like other
juggling fiends, "but keep the word Of
promise to our car and break 1t to our
hope" for one day he was taken serious
ly i'll just after he had celebrated mass
in one of tho churches at Rome. On in
curing the name Of this particular
church he heard, much to his dismay,
that it was popularity known as "Jeru-
salem," and he died in great agony a
few hours afterward. Five hundred
years after this Master Robert Fabian
gives us the story of the death Of King
Henry w, and tells US how that in his
youth 1t had been prophesied that he
would die In Jerusalem, and that the
prophecy, rs In the case Of Gerbert, was
in way fulfilled by the king dying in
the Jerusalem chamber at Westminster.

No, and we never heard of the book
until today, but we have had at least
ten applicants for it since 8 o'clock this
morning. I beg your pardon, but would
you please tell me how you heard Of
that book2''
'Why," she replied hesitatingly, az
received anote from friend telling me
to read it. 5"
''Well," he said, with n smile, "the
others who applied had heard of it in
the Same way
The young woman looked surprised,
but said nothing and passed out. Aman
who had overheard tho conversation
spoke of it to his wife that evening as u
curious coincidence.
coincidence, fiddlesticks ~ she said.
"Wait moment until show you what

her desk she brought this note for him
to read
