THE FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
It Occurred In Rome and Took Place Ii
the Year 300 B. G.

It Occurred In Rome and Took Place In
the Year 800 B. G.
Livy, in his famous book, "The An
nals," 9, 80, relates in the following
suggestive words the story Of singular
strike which occurred in Rome in the
year 800 B. G. and was probably the
first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy of being related, and which I
would pass in silence had it not appeared
as involving religion. The flute players,
dissatisfied because the latest censors
had forbidden them to take part in the
banquet in Jupiter's temple, according
to the ancient custom, Withdrew, every
one of them, to Thur, SO that nobody
was left at Rome to play during the sac
rifces. This incident shocked the reli-
gious sentiment of the senate, and the
senators sent messengers to invite the in
habitants of Thur to make every effort
in order that the players should be re-
stored to the Romans. The Tiburtines,
having promised not to neglect any
thing necessary for that purpose, caused
the flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted them
to go back to Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do SO,
they employed strategem in keeping
with their character.
On day of festival, under pretext
that music would increase the joy of the
feast, every citizen invited the futs
players Individually to his house, and
wine, of which people of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into a
deep sleep. They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome. They
only became aware of WIN. had hap
pened on the day after, when dawn
surprised them lying on the carts,
which had been left in the forum. A
large crowd had assembled, and they
were induced to promise that they would
remain at Rome. The right of attend
ing the banquets was restored to these
dute players New York Erihuna

Gross Inequalities and Severe Punishments

In the Courts of London.
For years Mr. Labouchere has been
denouncing in his paper the gross ine-
qualities in the punishments melted out
by different judges and magistrates for
practically Identical offenses, and the
daily press constantly emphasize his de-
nunciations by their reports of case1.

which have occurred within the last

moved the lord chancellor to some sort

other man got only three years for
crimes that are practically identical.

rapos of the dispute between the Wash

In regard to the picture l presumed

that the painting represents in the sin.

aided to ascend from the depths of base

symbolical, hav ng, hope, no tinge Of

"Great Britain has long been coming
these dollars, placing the japanese chop or

piece on one side and the British stamp on
the other. This currency has been Of great
service to British merchants transacting
business In China and Japan, and hence
to the British nation at large. Our trade

pose, but lacking the Japanese chop or

Japanese did not understand them and
would not use them. think congress

Mr.. sammons and His Finger Get Togeth-

John Sanimons IL "A responsible man, "a
good farmer who stands high among his
noighbors and whose reliability has never
been brought into question. He was "a
brave soldier Of the Confederate army and
was ono of those who participated In that
bloody tragedy on the banks Of Chicka-
mauga creek on tho 18th Of September,
1858. During the hottest Of the engage

posed position, with shot and shell playing

The war was fought TO n finish, and
Sammons camo back home and went TO
work, charging up his manned hand t0tho
losses of the Confederacy. Some time ago
ho decided TO revisit the battlefield, which
he had not seen In 32 years nearly, and SO
he betook himself to Chickamauga and
started TO stroll over the battlefield. The

Having found the tree, he put himself In

leaves, much to his astonishment be found
the bones where the finger had fallen, and
they corresponded exactly with the finger

They had lain there undisturbed ever
