ThE PORTLAND VASE.
A Masterpiece That Long Puzzled the An
tiquarians of Europe.

tiquarians OF Europe,
The Workmanship of the vase and
the material of which il is composed
long exercised the ingenuity of some of
the greatest antiquarians i'll Europe.
Breval believed it to be chalcedony;
Bartoli, Montfaucon and others, sar-
donyx; Count Fezi, amethyst; De la
Chausse and Nilsson, agate, while
Venuti decided that it was paste.
Wedgwood's examination of the vase
proved the last opinion to be the correct
one A layer of white glass had been
fused on dark blue body, the exquisite
figures being afterward produced in this
layer by cutting down to the blue by
the gem engraver, after the manner Of
real canoes. Wedgwood also discovered
that the vase had at some time been
broken and repaired. 1t was his opinion
that the head which formed the bottom
of the vase was piece of some other
work that had been cut down and in
serted in the place of the original bot
tom, which had probably been destroyed
at the time the vase itself was broken.
By the autumn of 1889 Wedgwood,
suCtttutu III
his arduous undertaking. and the first
perfect copy, made in the famous jasper
ware, was finished. Several more copies
were subsequently made, though the
exact number does not seem at all GER
tain. These were of various degrees of
perfection and varied in size and color.
Originally sold at from 80 to 90 guineas
each, according to excellence of finish,
time has, Of course, considerably en-
HANGED their value, and some years ago,
at the sale of the Martineau collection,
one sold for 1894.
In 1910 the Duke of Portland placed
the vase in the British museum, where
some 80 years afterward it was wantonly
broken to atoms by drunken visitor.
After being skillfully repaired it was
placed for additional safety with the
gems.
Authorities are by no means agreed
as to the subject of the bas-relief, though
various explanations have been offered
According to the museum catalogue,
the composition represents on the OBJ
verse Thetis consenting to be the bride
of Paleus in the presence of Poseidon
and Eros on the reverse, Peleus and
Thetis on Mount Pelion, and on the
bottom of the vase (now detached) a
youthful bust of Paris. Good Words.

JOCKEYS COME HIGH.
Mideets who Make More Money Than Il
Made by Supreme Court Judges.


"Why should an owner pay u jockey
the same fees today TO win 800 purse
that he did when the ordinary over
night events were worth 81 000r
This question was put to the writer
recently by man famous for his prince
ly gifts to riders. II was not Prompted
by mercenary motives but was suggest
ed by discussion of the era of economy
which has affected the sport generally
in the east for the last two years
The old rule that the laborer is
worthy of his hire will hardly apply in
this case The salaries paid jockeys are,
with but few exceptions, in excess of
what their services are worth. Sims,
Taral, Doggett Griffin, Hamilton and
one or two others that might be men.
toned earn every season snug fortune
in fees alone in addition to which they
receive thousands of dollars in presents
both from their employers and outside
betters.
The crnsades against racing have
brought reduction of profits to the diff
ferent associations, and with this shut
ting off of revenues has come material
reduction of the amounts distributed
not alone in purses, but in the stakes as
well. The price of yearlings has fallen
off fully 90 per cent, the number of en-
ployees in the stables has been reduced
in fact there is hardly branch of
the sport that has not been affected but
this one of jockeys fees and salaries.
Many who have made the subject a
matter of study have always argued
that our riders were overpaid. If this
were the case in the days of the turf S
prosperity, what can be said now, when
not one stable in ten ends the season
with a balance ON the right side of the
| ledger? The cut is sure to come, and the
indications are that the time for it is
now at hand. Some few of the "stars'
will, of course, command as much as
ever, but the rank and file will find n
material reduction in their earnings.
Think of midgets who can hardly
write their own name earning more in
a year than the judges of the United
States supreme court. If they were
provident enough to save what they
earn for the days when the increase of
avoirdupois will make it impossible for
them to ride any longer, the feeling
against their rich earnings might be less
pronounced, but not one in fifty ever
saves a dollar. If their earnings in a
season amount to $1,000 or $40, 900,
it is the same thing When winter
comes around, their pockets are empty.

They Can Roar Like Lions aud Run Sixty
Miles an Hour.

Prodigious is but a mild term to
apply to the strength Of the ostriches,
which can hardly be imagined in a
creature of its size. A single specimen
can easily carry two men on it's back
and travel for long distance. Its
voice is deep and hollow and not easily
distinguished from the roar of lion,
except by practical ear. In height
it varies from six to eight feet and
weighs form 200 to 300 pounds. and
it is consequently the largest, as we'll
as the strongest and fleetest Of all tho
feathered bipeds. 1t cannot fly, but
uses its powerful wings to assist it in
its marvellous speed. IL is so strong
that it is not only capable Of running
at the rate of 60 miles an hour, but
also of striking blow with its foot as
to mako it too formidable an antago-
mist for the leopard and other large
beasts of prey TO assail it. 1t has
often been known 10 rip open a dog
with a single stroke Of one of Its feet,
and hunters are recorded to have
suffered the same fate. Its powers of
digestion are marvellous, it frequently

iron, bricks, glass, old shoes, dry

The Valuable Property Owned by His
Church to be- Transferred t1 the Meth od-
list DeDominatIon--The Priest Deeply In.
terested In the General Conference.

Cleveland, o., May 5. "A profound
sensation has arisen in the Church of
the immaculate Heart OF the Blessed
Virgin Mary (Independent Catholic),
which was organized in this city about
three years ago and has been presided
over by Father A. +. Kolaszwski.
He and his 5000 Polish parishiopers
desire to ally themselves with the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
Although Father Kolaszwski refuses
TO say anything whatever concerning
the matter the statement as to his
desiring to ally himself with the
Methodist Church is verified by
Chaplain O. @. McCabe, who is
attending the Methodist General Con-
ference. In speaking of the matter the
chaplain said: "Yes, it is true that
the priest does desire to ally himself
with the Methodist Church. He not
only wishes to come 10 the Methodist
Church, but the 5000 Poles com
prising his congregation also desire to
come. They do not believe in the in
substantiation any longer. They are
becoming more and more educa led all
the time and as people are enlightened
tuoN w nOb DbllbN0 lubs6 IdlidCItb.
Many thousand Poles arc going to join
the Methodist Church. T" Father
Kollszwski, when questioned, said !:
Nothing has been done in the matter
yet and there is nothing to be said at
this time. prefer not to discuss it. +"
Cleveland, o., May 6.-The move
ment of Father Koaszwslsi, pastor of
the Independent Catholic Church, to
transfer his church and congregation
to the Methodist Episcopal fold is pro-
gressing and is said to now be an as
sured fact. 1t is stated that long
consultation was held yesterday be-
tween Father Kolaszwski and Chaplain
McCabo and as result the former
offered to turn over all the church
property and bring the entire member
ship of 5000 people into tho Methodist
Church. The property owned by the
church is very valuable.
Thus far the matter has not been
formally presented to the General Con
ference and it is not improbable that
it will not be done, as this conference
can have no jurisdiction in the case.
A resolution may be adopted recon.
mending that the church accept them,
but even this much is not certain. The
right to accept them lies in the quar-.
terly conference, and 10 it the appli'
cation must be made.
Father Kolaszwski has been spec
tator at the General Conference. He
has occupied seat in Chaplain Nc
Cabe's private box, and followed the
proceedings with much interest.
