deriya, in the district of Bateul. and the
prime minister of Nepaul recently gave him
permission to do So The doctor had good
reason to believe that there were many
undiscovered treasures in this part OF In
dia. and, being a jealous Archaeological. he
resolved to secure many OF them
possible.
So he began to explore. and one day he
learned that at little distance there was u
very curious monument. lie went to the
place and found a mOnOlith fixed in the
ground. Ii was about three yards in height
and was covered with religious inscriptions.
Dr. Fahrer examined it closely. and finally
II occurred to him that the portion of the
monolith under the ground might be even
more interesting that the portion above
the ground.
lie communicated this idea to his assist
ants and the result was that in a very
short time the earth was removed from tho
base of the monolith until the entire stone
was visible. Ii had been imbcdded TO Il
depth of three yards and half, and on
this long buried portion or slab Or. Fahrer
found, engraved in large characters, an
inscription by the illustrioUs King Acoka.
This inscription says IN unmistakable
language that his majesty went in person
To the gardens of Lumbni and erected there
this monolith in the very spot where Lord
Buddha was born.
Now. many a search has been made for
the famous gardens OF Lumbini. but their
exact location has not been determined I'M
til now. Tradition tells us that they We're
I'm the very region where the monolith was
found and that they We're very near tho
ruins of KapiweSton, THE city of red
earth" which the tribe of Cakyas inhab-
tied and which was in consequence the
home of Cakya-lnonuni, otherwise known
as Buddha.
Fahrcr. IS evidently in the long lost gar
dcns OF Lumbni, and in the minds OF the
pious Buddhists of India there is not the
Slightest doubt that IL marks the birth
place of the great Lord Buddha.

TRUSTS AND MoNoPoLIEs.
Joint Executive Committee Hears Two
Witnesses.

New York, February 1.-THE joint COM
mittee appointed to investigate the exist
ence of trusts and monopolies In the state
of New York met again this morning. John
L. Searles secretary and treasury of the
American Sugar Refining Company, was
on hand early.
Tho first witness called was James II.
Post, a representative of T. II. Howell. Son
& Co. From his testimony II seemed that
the methods of tho two competing refineries
were much the same as those of the
American Sugar Refining Company. If they
did not actually work In concert with that
company. Mr.. Post. however testified that
there was no agreement between his prin-
cipals and tho American company except
TO freight.
Mr.. Searles then took the stand. Mr..
LeXow drew from him statements that tho
cost of refining sugar was from y TO 3,
cents per pound that the margin of profit
between raw and refined sugars had de-
creased Is of a cent per pound during the
last year and IL the American company
could not produce sugar cheaper than the
smaller concerns that were not CONSOLIDATE
ed one of tho principal objects of the con-
solidation would have failed. In regard to
tho purchase of the Baltimore refinery in
lyi. witness said:
we thought II was a good purchase
and that sugar could be conveniently
distributed from that point to tho south
ard west"
Witness denied that taere was n special
sum set aside for supporting idle -reiin-
cries. Also that there was any agreement
with the wholesale g-oc0r's association.
The following is the capital stock of the

who wouldn't go to school; another wanted
Information on the subject of a girl In her
teens. who thought more of boys than
books, and still another wanted TO know
what punishment was to fit the crime on
the part of girl who would draw pictures
instead of studying her arithmetic.
The answers put forth such thoroughly
broad and catholic Views of patience and
sympathy as to dispel forever the notion
that there exists today ono atom of the
cruel pedagogic spirit which Dickens de-
picts in his novels.
The American mother today is wiser than
she was a quarter of a century ago, when
there was seldom happy menu to be
found between dogmatic insstence of obe-
dlence for obedience sake and easy going
Indulgence that sowed the seeds for cold
ness and disrespect.
Today our women are bringing all the
patience and enlightenment that the world
can offer upon this great subject, and this
fact was evidenced In the mothers con-
gress. MAUDE ANDREWS.
