NEW WORDS OF CHRIST.
Twelve Leaves of Papyri Found Writ

London, July 7-Several weeks ago
was cabled the news of the wonderful

borders of the Libyan Desert, of the
oldest papyri known bearing the words
Christ. The value of this find in the in

inches in size. remarkably we'll preserv-

1t has been easily translated and is
found to consist of detached sayings of
Christ, without context, each beginning
with the words, Jesus saith" The
translation will soon be published by the
Egypt Exploration Fund. An immense
edition at a few pence per copy will be
provided, so as to reach everybody.
Prof. Petrie's winter explorations in
Egypt have also been wonderfully furit-
full. The bulk of his collection is in
two groups, separated by a gap of
more than so centuries, the later do
cumentS being an enormous mass of
papyri from the Roman city of Ben
mesa, west of the Nile about 100 miles
south of Cairo, and the earlier great

THE GRADE CROSSING.
PATHS HUSBAND DYING.
Tenderly Cared for at Her Castle by
the Great Songstress.

London, July 7.-Nicolini is dying He
is suffering from Bright's disease. From
a friend of Madame Patti, who has just
returned from a visit to her at Craig
y-NOS,it is learned that Nicolini is great
ly emaciated and spends most of his
time in bed. He gets up occasionally,
but is scarcely able to totter across the
room without help.
Both Nicolini and Madame Patti are
aware of the serious character of his
illness, and it is touching to see the alb
SOlute devotion of the two. Nicolini
cannot bear to have her out of his sight
for moment. She sits by him nearly
all the time. He does not like to be
read to or sung to or talked to, but
simply lies hstlessly, with his eyes fol-
lowing Nine. Patti around the room.
Nicolini is an expert fisherman, and it
was pathetic to see him the other day
lingering a book on fishes and say
ing regretfully: Just think of those
fish"
Within the last few months IL doc
tors have been at Craig-y-Nos consul
ting in regard to the case. Nine. Patti
had made great preparations for en-
Pertaining this summer, but all guests,
including the Princess of Monaco have
been put off. Nicolini had another
hemorrhage this week.
Patti was obliged to fulfill her en-
gagement to sing at Albert hall on
Tuesday last, and came up town for
that purpose, but returned Immediately
after the concert.

A Side Splitter Told by the Duke of
Portland

London, July 7.-Society is hugely
tickled by a joke on the Duke of Port
household. At this party all the Of
f1cials of the queens household were
attired in royal livery. A Welsh radi-
cal member, mistaking the Duke of
Portland for an ordinary turnkey, asked
him the way to the refreshment
marque. The duke courteously led
the Welsh member there, and the lat
ter, to attest his appreciation of this
civility, pressed a shilling into the
dukes hand.
The duke, though surprised, diplo-
matically rose to the occasion by pass
ing the fee on to a waiter, saying: This
gentleman wishes you to have this shil-
ling"
Another member of parliament who
had watched the scene told the Welsh
radical the rank of the supposed fun

TRIED TO DIE TOGETHER.
Girl in the Embrace of Dead Man
for Twelve Hours.

Bradford Pa, July Lillian Spatz,
who, with George BIakeley, secretary of
the local school board, figured in trag-
edy in Blakeley's Office, in which Blake
ley was found a corpse and the girl in a
critical condition, has given her version
of the affair.
She says she and Blakeley had agreed
to die together. They had been lovers
for the past six years. He was a mar
ried man, and for that reason could not
marry her but she loved him dearly.
Wednesday night he sent for her, and
she went to his printing office, their US
ual place of meeting. He asked her if
she thought enough of him to die with
him. Without one minutes hesitation
she declared she did. Together they
drank a solution of choral-hydrate Sc
cured by BlakeIey and then lay down
together on the couch.
Then she fell asleep. That was about
o'clock in the morning. The woman did
not arouse from her lethargy until a
late hour yesterday afternoon. For IL
hours she had lain in the embrace of a
dead man. When she recovered her
senses she arose from the couch and
the corpse of her companion rolled to
the floor.
BlakeIey was a prominent citizen in
the community. His wife lives here
