IN THE AMPHlTHEATER.
A Contest Before King Herod and Ton.
thus PIlntus In Jernsalem.


Contest Before King Herod and Pom
titus PllRtus In Jerusalem.
On one of those days he went to the
amphithoater, the circus which Herod
the Great had built, at some distance
from the city. He paid for n seat in one
Of the upper galleries. On the tiers Of
seats below him were all sorts Of people,
and far away, on the opposite side of the
vast arena, the sandy level in the mid
die, he saw, in the lower tier, canopied
place that was furnished magnifcently
IN it there were throne seats, and ON
them sat King Horod Antipas, Pontius
Pilatus, the Roman governor, two Ro-
man generals, with other distinguished
men, ana q number Of richly dressed
women, some of whom wore brilliant
tiaras or Coronets upon their heads. He
stared at thom for few minutes and at
the Tremendous throng Of people, but
after that he thought only Of what was
going on in the arena.
There were chariot races, and Cyril
could not help being intensely excited by
the mad rush of the contending teams,
while all the thousands who looked on
shouted and raved. After the races,
however, came scenes some Of which
made him shudder. There were foot races
and boxing matches, but these were soon
over, and then there were contests be-
tween pairs of swordsmen, spearmen,
clubmen, and tho like, in which the
fight went on until one Of the combat
ants was slain. Close upon the last of
these duels, bands Of gladiators marched
in from opposite sides Of the arena and
charged each other like detachments of
soldiers upon a real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desper-
ate, but one sido was soon beaten, for
the parties had not beon equal One
party had been trained warriors, pro-
fessional gladiators, and the other only
common men, captiyes taken in u recent
raid of Pilatus' soldiers upon a wild
tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were
brave enough. but they were put there
only to be killed for the amusement of
the great men and Of the multitude. So
were the poor victims with whom the
days exhibition closed, for they were
driven into the arena, half armed, to
contend as best they could with a num-
Der Of hungry lions, tigers. leopards and
hyenas. which were loosed upon them
from their dens under the tiers Of seats.

Electric bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use OF this medicine has oft
en- averted long and perhaps fatal bill
ious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in cOunteracting and free

DIVIDE HI, WORK.

The Virglnian had something to say
some days since concerning Il
iair and equitable division of the re-
pair work, as well as the new work Of
me Government, among the navy-yards
OF the country, and cited the advan-
taSes OF the Norfolk Navy-yard over
some others. adding that despite the
facilities of this yard we have always
oeen discounted whenever the New
York yard put i'll application for work.
Inc jacksonville Times Union. writ
ing on the subject, has the following TO
say:
ON the coast of the United States
there are eight navy-yards located nj

there are naval stations at New Lon
don. Conn: Port Royal. S. c.: Sidney.
WASH, and Key West. Fla, all of
which are equipped with more or less
lacilitleS Tor minor repairs to such Gov
eEhhleht vessels as may need temporary
assistance.

All OF Mark Hanna's free railroad ex

Mckinley, but very many of them go
for the fun of the thing, while others
no doubt make the trip through coer-
cion
However, the Cleveland Plain Dealer
gives an amusing account of the return
of Canton excursion to Cleveland last
Saturday, which shows plainly that the
Bryan supporters among the working
men are taking advantage of the free
rides to Canton, and having a good
time generally. The Plain Dealer saws:
ION the return of the excursion from
Canton the delegates marched up the
streets hurrahing for Bryan. The cry
was taken UP and thousands Joined the
procession The men marched around
the square and checred the Bryan men
who were carrying on the arguments
near the band stand, and then march
ed to the Plain Dealer office, where a
halt was ordered.
Who paid our fare to Canton?" cried
one man.
Marx Hanna" responded the work
ingmen.
Who paid our way back?" was the
next question.
Mark Hanna" was the unanimous
answer.
Who paid all our expenses" came
another query.

Who bought the HIP nail BOYS the
coats and hats?" asked the serious clti-
zen

tude of';hat country towards Rus :!a and
Great Britain, his conclusions being that

Mr.. Ensile takes the position that the
time FOR Japan to receive instructions
either from Europe or America mas
passed. He goes so far as 10 saw thai
the day of independence on the manu-
faciuies of other countries has gone.
ana the time TO supply them with Jana
hase manufactures has arrived. The
epoch when Japan feared Europe and
america In commercial way
mas been succeeded by one In
which they fear Japan and when The
latter takes her full part on the stage
OF the world Russia and Great Britain
are inc two powers with which she will
come INTO collision, the one In mill
ta:y, the other in 4 commercial ASPECT
There can be no question about the
iact that Japan has made grea, strides
hoth in military as well as in :, COM
meEcial way within the past two or three
years, an2d the report of Consul EnsiIc
shows that English interest has greatly
suffered in the far East by Japanese
manufacturers selling their goods in that
part OF the world. which heretofore has
been almost entirely covered by English
enterprise. AS Japan cnlarrcs her in
dustries and enters in competition with
England for the trade of the East the
world may be prepared TO see n full
measure OF success come to her. This
means, of course, a decline in British
trade. But just how the little nation
expects to conquer Russia Is not so
ciaer.
RUSSIA has more money, is Il greater
empire and has greater resources, and
Japan Will reckon without her host i'm
