ltis very probable THAT the Nor
mon question, or, rather, the polyg-
amous side Of it, will again come up
in congress at the first session of the
new house next year: The question
will n0 doubt arise in regard to the
seating OF Congressman, elect Roberts
OF Utah, who is Mormon, and it IS
claimed, a Mormon who practices
polvgamy. If this. is true he is a
Molator of d United States statute,
and Ineligible to sit among the law
makers at the capitol; and tue mat
ter of seating him will reopen the
whole question and likely to leave
Utah without, represen tation in the
lower house OF congress until spe-
cial session is held in that state to
fill the vacancy. And even here will
come the question as to- whether, so
long IS Roberts was regularly elected
and holds a'feEular certificate, there
could be any other man legally elect.

exist unless Roberts should resign.

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local

cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there

VERDE ANTIQUE MARBLE.
Lost In Thessaly, but Found in Inexhausti.
BILE store In Georgia.

From the Lewiston, Me, Journal.
In the early centuries of the Chris
tian era, and possibly before, the ex-
quisite green marble. vened with white.
which the ancients priced so highly for
ornamental building purposes. was
quarried in Thessaly. With the advent
of the dark ages the location of the
quarries was lost and has never since
been found. The ruined structures
were stripped to afford decorations for
modern churches and palaces. and the
marble became very expensive. Substi-
tutes of ordinary green marble
from Greece, France, Ireland. Italy
and America were offered. but
nothing was found To equal the real
Thessalian green, or verde antique, as
ii is called. For 10 or 10 years it has
been known that there was a deposit
of green marble in Georgia. but that it
was as beautiful as the old Thessalian
verde antique has only been realized
recently. biologists. by the way, do
not classify verde antique as a green
marble. but as a stone by itself. a SER
pentine, and they Furthermore say that
there is no such substance as verde an
tique marble. But none the less the
stone is everywhere known as green
marbel. and within the last few months
has won the highest praise from
American architects and builders. Sew
eral of Chicago's largest public build
ings are being finished with this new
material.
The quarry Is now over 60 feet deep
and the deeper il gets the better Is the
marble. II is expected that the world
at large will jump at the chance to Sc
cure a stone so like the rare old Thessa-
liam green. When the first company or
ganized To work the marble quarry
they attempted to get out the stone by
blasting with dynamite, which shat
tered the stone and greatly wasted IL.
Shortly after the company went into
hands of a receiver. Last spring a Chi
eago stock company was organized and
went TO work with channeling ma
chimes. During the summer the ragged
hole left by the former dynamite meth
cd of working has been shaped out. the
walls squared the floor leveled and now
blocks of stone of regular sizes. weigh
ing eight and ten tons. are taken out.
The Cherokee county verde antique
seems likely to become as famous and
in as great demand as was the old
Thessalan green marble.
