Alleged Translation Of The Roman
Chiefs Report Of the Crueifzion.
LONG SOUGHT DOCUMENT.
A Parchment Found In the Vatican Ii.
brary at Rome May Be The One to
which Reference is Made In History.

New York, Nov. THE "Journal and
Advertiser" today prints what purports to
be a translation of the report of a private
interview by Pontius PLATE with our Sav-
ior, and the story of his cruci6xion. This
report is said to have been written by Pi-
late, and manuscript found recently in
the Vatican, at Rome, is thought by some
to be the identical parchment.
If the report be authentic Plate was
clearly deeply troubled and sought to avert
the crucifxion. The alleged translation
follows:
"To Tiberius Caesar-Emperor-
"Noble Sovereign, Greeting: The events
of the lalt few days in my province have
been Of such character that l thought
we'll to report the details as they have oc-
cured, as l should not be surprised if, in
course of time, they may change the des-
tiny of our nation; for it seems Of late that
the gods have ceased to be propitious. l
am almost ready to say, Cursed be the
day that 1 succeeded Valerius Gratus in
the government of Judea.'
Son my arrival at Jerusalem I took
possession of the Judgment Hall and or
dered splendid feast to be prepared, to
which invited the Tretrarch of Galilee,
with the High Priest and his officers. AT
the appointed hour no guests appeared.
This was an insult offered to my dignity.
A few days after the High Priest deigned
to pay me visit. His department was
grave and deceitful. He pretended that
his religion forbade him and his attend
ants to sit down at the table of Romans
and to offer up llbations with them. 1
thought it expedient to accept of his ez-
cuse, but from that moment was con-
vinced that the conquered had declared
themselves the enemies of the conquerors.
1t seems to me that of all conquered cities
Jerusalem is the most difficult to govern!
$50 turbulent were the people that 1
lived in momentsry dread of an insurrec-
ton. To repress it had but single Gen.
turion and handful of soldiers. / re-
quested reinforcement from the Governor
of Syria, who informed me that he had
scarcely troops sufficient to defend his
own province. An insatiate thirst for con-
quest-to extend the Empire beyond the
means of defending it-I fear will be the
means of oyerthrowing our noble govern
ment.
"Among the various rumors that came
to my ears there was one that attracted
my attention in particular. Ayoung man,
it was said, had appeared in Galilee,
preaching with a noble JUNCTION new law,
in the name of the gods that sent him. At
first was apprehensive that his design
was to stir up the people against the Ro-
mans, but soon were my fears dispelled.
Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as friend
of the Romans than of the Jews. One day,
in passing by the palace Of Siloe, where
there was great concourse of people, l
observed in themidst of the group young
man, who was leaning against a tree
calmly addressing multitude. Twas told
that this was Jesus.

RESPECT FOR CHRIST.

"Unwilling to interrupt him by my
presence / continued my walk, but signi-
fed to my secretary to join the group and
listen. My secretary's name is Manfound
Manlius, who related to me the words Je-
sus had pronounced at Siloe. Never have
heard in the Portico, nor in the works Of
the philosophers, anything that can COM
pare to the maxims of Jesus. One of the
rebellious Jews-so numerous in jerusalem
having asked him if it was lawful to give
tribute to Caesar, Jesus replied, Render
unto Caesar the things which belong to
Caesar, and unto God the things which are
Gods 1t was on account of the wisdom
of the sayings that l granted so much lib
erty to the Nazarene, for it was in my
power to have had him arrested and ex-
lied to Pontus; but this would have been
contrary to the justice which has always
characterized the Romans. This man was
neither seditious nor rebeilious, and ex-
tended to him my protection, unknown
perhaps to himself.
"He was at liberty to act, to speak, to
assemble and address the peor'o, to choose
disciples, unrestrained by any Pretorian
mandate. Should it ever happen-may
the gods ever avert the omen-should it
ever happen, cay, that The religion Of our
forefathers be supplanted by the religion
of Jesus, it will be to this noble federation
that Rome shall owe her premature obse-
quies, while 1, miserable wretch, shall be
the instrument of wha. Jews call
Providence, and we, destiny. But this
unlimited freedom granted Jesus provoked
the Jews; not the poor, but the rich and
powerful.
"New complaints were daily made at
Judgment Hall against the insolence Of
the Jews. was even informed that some
misfortune would befall him-that it would
not be the first time that jerusalem had
stoned those who called themselves proph-
ets-and if the Pretorium refused justice,
an appeal would be made to Caesar. How
ever, my conduct was approved by the
Senate, and l was promised reinforce
ment after the termination of the Parthian
war. Being too week to suppress sedition,
1 resolved upon adopting a measure that
promised to establish the tranquility Of
! the city without subjecting the Pretorium
to the humiliation concessions.

hold Use Sold All Over the World.
The first American clothes wringer
produced, which was put on the market
about IS years ago, was a substantial
ard serviceable machine, but its price
prevented its coming at once into COM
mon use. After some improvements
the price was reduced, but it is only
within IL or IS years that the clothes
wringer has come to be the article Of
common household use that it now is.
The present price is about one-fourth
Of the original price. The present out
put Of American clothes wringers is
about 100000 annually.
Clothes wringers are made with rolls
Of ten to twenty-four inches in length;
wringers larger than that are made to
order. Ten, eleven and twelve-inch are
the sizes commonly operated by hand,
though IA and even 16-inch wringers
are sometimes used in that manner.
Larger machines are operated by other
power. American clothes wringers are
,old in many foreign countries, though
in some, owing to natural and other
conditions specially affecting the use
of such appliances, comparatively few
are sold. Thus, while many articles of
American manufacture are exported to
South American countries, there are
not many clothes wringers sold there
owing to climatic conditions, which are
such in most of the countries that
clothes dry quickly there and wringers
are not much needed.
Few American wringers are sold in
France, where washing is done com.
monty in wash houses, and few wiring.
ers of any kind are used. In Germany,
Russia and all the Scandinavian coun-
tries and in Great Britain American
wringers find market, and they are
sold also in Australia, South Africa and
other foreign lands. They cost more
than German or British wringers, but
they sell in competition with them, al
many other manufactured American
products do, because Of their SUPERIOR.

The end of August is late enough to
pot plants for winter blooming. Sc
lect young plants-those which have
not yet bloomed are the best. Slips Of
yeraniums or begonias which were
started early in the summer should now
be of sufficient size to put into small
pots. It is a great mistake to overpot
plants. This overpotting only induces
an increased growth of roots at the
expense of the leaves and flowers of
the plant. "A pot three inches in diam
eter at the top is an average size to
use for well-rooted slips. If the roots
have become very large and the top
growth is small, a portion of the roots
should be pruned off. A mixture Of
common garden soil or loan, peat or
black bog earth, sand, decayed leaf
mold and thoroughly rotted manure
make the best potting earth. The pro:
portions are four parts leaf-mold, two
parts sand, two parts manure, one part
lcam and one part peat. This proper.
ton is good for geraniums and hello.

The young postmaster of village
was hard at work in his Office when a
gentle tap was heard upon the door and
in stepped blushiDg maiden of 16 with
money order, which she wished
cashed. She handed it, with bashful
smile, to the official, who, after closely
examining it, gave her the money it
called for. At the same time he asked
her if she had read what was written
on the margin of the order.
NO, 1 have not" she replied, "for I
cannot make it out. Will you please
read it for me?"
The young postmaster read as fol-
lows: 81 send you ten shillings and a
dozen Kisses"
CHANGING at thebashful girl, he said:
Now, have paid you the money and
suppose you want the kisses?"
YES" she said, eff he has sent me
any kisses want them, too"
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
balance of the order was promptly paid
and in scientific manner.
On reaching home the delighted
maiden remarked to her mother:
Mother, this postoffice system of
ours is a great thing, developing more
ard more every year, and each new
feature seems to be the best. Jimmy
sent me dozen kisses along with the
money order and the postmaster gave
me 20. 1t beats the special delivery
system all hollow."-Tit-Bits
