DIANA'S MIRROR.
The Nemi Lake in Latium to Be Sold
Mt Auction.

The Nemi Lake in Latium to BE Sold
Mt Auction.
The Nemi lake. in Latium, is by q
judicial decree to be sold by auction.
In classic times, says the London
Daily Graphic, it was bounded by a
vast forest, the whole region was sa-
cred to Diana and the bright surface
of the lake was called Speculum Di-
anae, or Diana's Mirror. There was a
temple of the goddess beside the lake
and its priest was in the early days
of the empire the "king of the grove"
whose precarious existence is recorded
in Dean Farrar's Darkness and Dawn"
He was generally an escaped criminal,
who "slew the slayer and should him
self be slain"-that is, he held the
shrine by the right of having slain
the last hermit priest, till he himself
were dispossessed by violent death.
In imperial times the lake and its
shores were the scene of many patri-
clan water fetes and the playground of
the court of Tiberius. A few years ago
one of the royal triremes, a three
decker, was discovered here deeply SUBJ
merged. It yielded rich treasure
trove in coins, bronze heads of lions
and tigers and a bronze effigy of Me-
dusa. The inscriptions showed that the
trireme was dedicated to Diana. The
lake is believed to be rich in archaic
treasures and records of the court of
'Tiberius and the cult of Diana.

ceased speakinp.

ceased speaking.
In an Introductory way the speaker
said it was not his desire to blot out
the horrors of war, for he wished them
to stand as warning TO future gener-
ations, yet he, with others who had
| fought on either side during the
rebellion. chose to look upon the bright
side of the events that occurred be-
tween '61 and '65 and review rather
the pleasantries than the sorrows.
After giving brief description of a
cavalry charge at the memorable bat
tie of Chickamagua on Sept. 20, 1853,
where he was taken prisoner, he told
of the tedious journey to Richmond
and The arrival of the prisoners before
grim old Libby. how they were as
signed to quarters none to inviting.
Then he went into detail regarding
life in the prison, how they were lined
up every day and counted, how they
contrived to amuse themselves and
entertain each other during the weary
months they were in confinement.
He related many amusing incidents
that occurred during the winter of '63
and '64. the most thrilling of which
was the escape of ITO prisoners, includ-
ing himself, through tunnel they
dug, how they wandered through the
woods for days, scattering out in small
squads, and how a number of them
were recaptured and taken back to
Liby prison to spend more days in
idleness.
At times the captain grows quite
humorous, at ether times pathetic.
then the lecture is interspersed with
eloquent tributes to American bravery
and valor. 1t is tine purpose of Cap
tain Lewis to deliver this lecture in a
number of prominent places in the
Northwest, and it is certain that it
will merit the attention OF all.

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON.
A Chicago Woman's Funny Attempt to

A Chicago Woman's Funny Attempt to
Suppress CockfGhting.
The Bridgeman family have a good
joke on mater, reports the Chicago
Times-Herald. She had promised ten
year-old Dick a spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and his game chickens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakable signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and well behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul, for the mill Of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family.
Straight to Dicks room she went, and
ii her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow it did
not stay her hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly a roar came
forth in the bass of her grown-up son.
Thunder and blazes, mother, what
the deuce is the matter?"
There was an explosive snicker from
under the bed, but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up to trace the snicker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get prom
ised spanking.

MANILA, Dec. 29.-The expedition

Tuesday and found that the Spaniards
had evacuated the place on Saturday.

There was some looting during the

this had an exemplary effect. The

tage or for self-preservation The ques-
ton. vet undecided, is what can be done
about it? Where can an effectual be-
ginning be made? Will nothing,
So far as it is Objectionable
or unjust, work its own cure
more speedily and effectually than
through any attempted legislation? ?
However, in the absence of a certain
remedy it should not be forgotten by
the people, especially by those who be-
lieve themselves to be at a disadvan-
tage, that the Democratic party for
four years prior to 1897 had control Of
the executive branch of the govern
ment and for two years prior to that
time controlled both branches of con-
gress, the very years in which there
occurred more combines or corpora
tons, in which greater number Of
trusts were formed, than at any time
since or previous. The Republican laws
against combines and trusts were still
on the statute books, and that party
had ample opportunity to attempt their
enforcement. They could have enacted
additional laws for wiping out the
trusts. Did this party Of howlers DO
anything? Nothing whatever, unless
it was to further favor these same
trusts. This echo Of the calamity
crowd. therefore, is demagogical, is
hypocriticaI. The cry fools nobody, or
should not On this cry they largely
won in '92. But they can't fool the peo-
pie the second time. The most strin-
gent, far-reaching and practical anti
trust law yet placed upon the statute
book is the Sherman law" It has
proved the most effectuaL Granting
that trusts are fundamentally wrong,
that it is against public policy for one
Industrial or corporate interest to com
bine with another, and that individuals
should join interests and hitch teams
only under certain prescribed condi-
lions, or under certain exigencies, or
that time viii fail to regulate equitably
all these material matters, the Demo-
cratic party will never do anything IN
less it should reverse its whole history
and spirit That trusts should be re-
strained we have, individually, no
doubt, nor that existing laws should
be strengthened. But no such action
need be ever looked for at the hands of
the conservative Democratic party that
has never been radical in anything ex-
cept in a reactionary sense.

ENGLISH GOLD COMING

An Associated Press dispatch in the
Eagle yesterday morning, under a New
York City date, called out, no doubt. by
the Pop assertion made in congress
during the same day, set forth the in
crease Of the business of the country
for last month over the same month a
year ago, as measured or shown by the
bank clearing house report, compiled by
Bradstreet's. The gain was 1873 per
cent for December, and so per cent for
January Only four cities in the United
States failed to show gain, and these
were New England states with cotton
mill industries. There are very many
reasons for the improvement indicated
in the business of the country, and
there are better times coming. Last
week gold was being drawn from the
Bank Of England for shipment to
America. Vast sums of gold or its
equivalent must come to America from
Europe, and in the very near future.
In truth the prospect of the good times

circumstance that the balance of trade
is largely in favor Of this country. Eu-
rope must either send gold to discharge
the balance due us, or send back Amer
lean securities held in Europe, instead
of retaining them. In the latter case
we shall retain here the annual interest
charges, which have gone to swell the
incomes of European owners of our Sc
curities. The cotton trade is the only
one of all our industries and resources
that has a gloomy look. Everything
else of American production is expect
ant of enlarged sales and good prices.
For the calendar year ending with De-
cember 81, the exports of this country
amounted to $1,O99, OOO, 900, and the i'm
ports to SAP, OO0, 0OO, showing an excess
of exports over imports of $357, 600, 90,
the largest balance in our favor ever
known in the history of the country.
