A MISSING BACCHUS.
Gift from the King Of Greece to
Boston That Never Game.
The Citizens of the Hub Mystified
and AnxiOus over n Statue Long
Since Presented by King
George.

A statue of Bacchus, presented by
King George of Greece to the city of
Boston, has disappeared. 1t never
reached Boston. It's not at the custom
house, and Mayor Quincy and the MEM
bers of the city council, as well as the
members of the Boston, Athletic associa-
tion,>are wondering what has become of
it. King Georges Bacchus was intended
as one of the evidences of good feeling
existing between his domain and the
city of Boston, aroused by the Olympian
games held at Athens last year, when
the American teams won so many
events.
1t will be remembered that the Boston
Athletic association athletes were espe-
cially successful competitors at the
games, and upon their return the
city gave them a banquet at the Ven
dome. A telegram of congratulation at
the success of the games was sent to
King George that night, and an en-
graved souvenir and menu, bearing the
ode written for the occasion, was sent
to the ruler of Hellenes by the mayor
by special messenger. When the may
or's courier returned to Boston along in
the early fall he brought medallion
and medal for the city, which had been
struck off to commemorate the revival
of the ancient Olympian sports. With
this came a personal epistle written to
MayorQuincy, in which he was informed
that a well-known Greek artist had
finished bust of Bacchus especially for
the city of Boston, and the king took
pride in shipping it to this country.
King George gave the impression that
the Bacchus would be sent within a
short time, if it was not already on the
way. Ii was decided to place the statue
in the council chamber, and that body
waited.
Time went on, no statue appeared.
Yet the city is 10th to lose King Georges
gift, for the custom house had been i'm
portuned time and time again during
the last five months for tidings of the
missing Bacchus. No one there has seen
it, and no notice of its shipping has
been received.

MONDAY. APRIL u. 1897.

St. Louis thinks that $250,O0O in
vested by the government in relieving
the food sufferers would have been
more wisely invested in a solid sys-
TEN of levees. This is the old idea
and it has run its course. The levee
system is responsible for the present
distress and loss of life and property
and that loss will grow greater as the
country is more thoroughly settled
until there must come a halt in the
mad attempt to build a river of the
volume of the Mississippi on top of
ground. The same attempt has been
made ever since time immemOrial both
in China and Japan with inevitable
disaster as the universal and invari-
able result.

The opinion of the Supreme court
of Illinois is expected, that the law is
unconstitutional that DEGREES indeter-
minable sentences and also parOl feat
ures of it. If this is so it will posi-
bly, work the release of thousand
prisoners in the Joliet pen. This will
be an evil under the sun in more than
one way. 1t will release a lot of hard
citizens, and it will destroy n good
law. Better revise the constitution
and make the law as it is indisput-
able

Mrs. Camuel Stamm of Logan
ton, Pa, bore her thirty-four years
of suffering with courage and forti-
tude. Her trouble was rheumatism in
the knee. In consequence her limb
had become so stiff that she could
hardly walk. Mr.. Stamm is a well-to-
do merchant, and had spared no pains
or expense to relieve her, but with lit
tie success, until one night when it
grew so painful that she could hardly
endure it, he persuaded her to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The effect
was magical. The first application re-
lieved the pain, and its continued use
has removed all stiffness and given
her the free use of her limb once more.
If you have friend who is troubled
with rheumatism insist on their Civ
ing this remedy a trial. You can do
them no greater favor, as it is sure to
give prompt relief. and if they are a
little patient it will effect a cure. For
sale at % and 80 cents per bottle by
all druggists.

PAINTING OF GRADY UNVEILED.
Students of Georgia University Honor
Great EditOr's Memory.

Students of Georgia University Honor
Great Editors Memory.
An elegant life-sized painting of the
late Henry w. Grady was the other day
unveiled to inspection in the library Of
the state university at Athens, Ga, of
which he was distinguished graduate.
The painting is the work of Mrs. Bessie
Taylor Hill.
This tribute to the memory of Mr..
Grady is from the students of the uni
versity. Mr.. Grady was born and
raised in Athens and it was from there
that he began his distinguished career
in journalism. In the university Ii
brary there is a series of pictures of
noted men who have gone from within
its walls. The students some time ago
decided it was time TO have an innova-
ton in the practice of preserving the
memories only of men distinguished in
law and politics, and that successful
editor was equally worthy of remem-
brance.
Mr.. Grady was always an admirer of
his alma mater, and on several COCA
sions saved its appropriation when in
the hands of unfriendly legislatures.

There is occasionally an exchange
of shots between filibuster steamers
and the Spanish cruisers and it is not
always that the. Spanish war vessel
gets the best of it. The Spanish gun
boat FOrtOr caught a tartar when
she fired on a filibuster steamer land
ing supplies on the southwest coast
and caught a solid shot through her
Steamchest that disabled her long
enough for the filibuster to land her
supplies and steam slowly away with
oct being recognized.

AN IMPORTANT BILL.

The action of Senator Foraker, of
Ohio in introducing a modified form
of the Patterson bill amending the
Interstate Commerce law so that free
dom of contract between railways to
maintain just and reasonable rates
will be legaliZed, is highly commend
ed by the business interests through
out the country. The possibilities of
remedial legislation before the full
effects of the disastrous Supreme court
decision are felt will probably pre-
vent further decline in values and tend
to hold matters stationary until the
attitude of Congress is better under
stood.
1t is regarded very generally in
commercial and business circles that
the only course is for the railroads,
the shippers, the railway employees,
the public, and all interested in the
welfare of the country, to at once APP
peal for remedial legislation, such as
proposed by Senator Foraker. 1t is
critical time, and legislators cannot
refuse to'give it attention. The intro
ductiOn of this bill by the Ohio sen
atOr opens up the subject to the whole
country in debate. The leading jour
mails of the United States are almost
unanimously of the belief that to Con-
gresS the people must appeal for re-
lief.
The Importance of this matter is not
second to the tariff, the money ques-
ton, the shipping bill, or any other
question before Congress There can
be no stability, no return of prosper
ity, until some measure has been en-
acted that will give to these great in
tereStS the power to agree not to in
crease rates, but to maintain rates
that are just and reasonable alike to
these properties and to the shippers.
That these rates may be subject to
review or revision by the United
States government through its Inter
state Commerce Commission is imma-
terial. The situation is so grave that
President Mckinley would be justified
in sending a special message to Con
gress, in the line of Justice Peck
hams own suggestion, that Congress
should deal with this matter in order
to avert the pending danger to the
business of the country"

BOY GRABBED BY A SHARK.
Falls Overheard and Is Imme diately
Seized by a Manenter.

n
Seized by a Manenter.
A letter has just been received from
John Cummings, a member of the crew
of the bark Newsboy Freemantle, dated
from Perth, Western Australia, Deem
Der 20, 1896, in which he relates wit
Messing the sad death of lad of 16
years old, who belonged to an English
ship lying at anchor alongside his own
vessel. The boy with a number of men
was over the side painting when by
some accident he fell into the water.
Two men Immediately jumped in after
the lad, and buoy was thrown trom
the deck, but the boy never again APP
peared. 1t seemed incredible that such
u thing could have happened with two
men in the water almost as soon as he
was, and the mystery was solved by
some one on deck noticing several big
sharks coming for the vessel. The men
in the water We're Immediately taken
out, and were saved by a very narrow
margin, for one big maneater turned
over and made a lunge at one of the
men when he was about two feet out
of the water, hanging to rope. The
supposition is when the boy went IN
der he happened to fall right in the
way of a shark, and that ended his
career. The boys name is not given,
but, being a member of the crew of the
English ship, he no doubt belonged in
England
