1t would be impossible to imagine a
more dramatic scene than that enacted
some days ago in the crypt of the Pan
theon, where have stood for many years
the sarcophagi supposed to contain the
remains of Voltaire and Rousseau, in
proximity to the tombs of Victor Hugo.
President Carnot and one or two other
Frenchmen of mark recently deceased
The controversy as to whether Vol
taire and Rousseau were really inferred
there, or whether, as the legend asserted
their ashes were scattered to the winds
at the time of the restoration, has waXed
very fierce of late, so the minister of
public instruction consented to have the
tombs opened in the presence of COM
mission, comprising NJ. Berthelot. the ex-
minister of foreign affairs, NJ. Jules Clar-
cite. and other men of eminence in the
scientific and literary world The tomb
of Noltaire was opened first, and found
to contain a rectangular beechwood case
or box. inside which again was coffin
crumbling into dust, and inside this
doubt that of Voltaire. The skull and
the jaw are, in the opinion of NJ Bar
thelot and NJ. Claretie, the Giving i'm
age" of Voltaire. as he is represented at
the institute in his bust by Pigalle; and
it was not without emotion that the as
sembled spectators gazed down upon the
dry bones which will now. it is to be
hoped, be allowed to moider into dust
without further disturbance. The same
scene was repeated with the sarcophagus
Of Jean-Jacques, except that. after a
rectangular box had been brought to
light this was found to contain wooden
coffin. and inside that lead coffin. with
in which reposes the skeleton of the
philosopher, wonderfully preserved. with
the bones of the arms still crossed. and
those of the legs in the position in which
they were placed after death. NJ. Ber-
thelot took up the skull. which. like that
of Voltaire. had been sawed in two for
the post norton examination to satisfy
himself that the legend of his having
been shot through the head was false.
The commission made it clear. that the
remains of both Voltaire and Rousseau
are in reality buried at the Pantheon.

Senate ConfirmatiOns.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Secretary Gage
and ex-Secretary Fairchilds were before
the house committee on banking and
currency today for further discussion
of the pending plans for currency re-
form. Mr. Gage assented to Mr.. Wal
kers question that he appeared as a
banker and financier of long experience
to aid the committee. The chair man
asked if it was possible to use paper
money and keep it equal with the coin
on hand.
Mr.. Gage answered that he thought
not. Without the specie on hand there
was tendency to distrust, if not panic,
and to demand for specie. Mr. Walkers
questions took wide range going into
the techenicalities and theories of none
tary science. Mr.. Gage said it would be
impossible in this country to have gen
eral rate of interest as prevailed in Eng
land, where the Bank of England fixed
the rate. Here is varied in the many
states under statutory laws. The banks
of the country had never been able to
coalesce on ruling rate of interest
Mr.. Fairchilds in turn, explained that
the rate of the Bank of England was
governed by the market rate which COM
PEELED the Establishment of the bank rate
10 this extent London and New York
were on the same basis, each being re-
sDOnsive to the maket and the law of
supply and demand.
Mr.. Gage responded to an extended
question that confidence depended upon
the assurance of coin redemption abso-
lutely regular and certain. Lacking these
facilities the demands for gold increased
AT 1880 MIR. Cages hearing closed I'M
til tomorrow. The examination of ex-
Secretary Fairchild was then resumed.

DIRECTORS MEETING.
A General Manager COnfesses He
Robbed His Company.

Louisville, Jan. 15.-At a meeting of
the directors of the Kentucky Trust com
pany, held at noon today, an assignment
to the Columbia Finance and Trust COM
pany was ordered and the deed of as
signment was filed by the new president,
III. ID. Ormsby, this afternoon, 1t has
been known that the concession was in
hard lines for some time owing to the
flight and alleged populations of Vice
President and General Manager William
Reinecke. AT the meeting this morning
n letter from Reinecke was read. The
letter admits that he had betrayed the
trust that had been placed in him and
gave the details of one deal in which he
lost $4,000 of the company's money
He says that he is sorry, and that not
one cent of the money did him any good.
In conclusion he says that his misfor-
tunes were brought about by unfortu-
nate speculation in Atlanta coal lands
and that he did not profit by cent that
he took from the company. He says that
he has flown to strange lands and will
never more be seen by any of his friends
or former business associates. The LA
bilities amount to about $125,000, while
the assets will not be over $4,000 or
100000. President Ormsby said that
Reinecke skipped none too soon, as the
directors had their doubts aroused by
number of his transactions which hdd
come to light accidentally.

The blizzard is most to be feared on
the open plain. The cattlemen have
theory that stock can go through the
winter without any shelter, and that it
pays to gamble ON the number of head
''' severe winter will kill. Some
times it does, and perhaps the cattlemen
e.. uut VAN less eapense than food and
shelter would have cost. But when a
real blizzard comes, there is another
story. The first thing cattle do is to drift.
Every cNtt.emHn knows what that
means. No matter what the roughness
OF the prairie, regardless of the possible
shelter of friendly bluff, the bewilder-
ed steers go on and OH with the wind
until they are stopped by wire fence
or some other obstruction. If there is
none, they 80 until they fall exhausted.
If one falls there is simply q trampling
of hoofs and death. If the fence inter
venes the herd piles up one on top of
another until no more can climb. There
they stay, and in the morning the owner
finds a CHASTITY sight awaiting him. Such
events make the great losses on the
plains in storm. Thousands of cattle
are thus lost, which are never reported
in the papers or at the round of the as
SCISSOR. In the winter at the end of the
famous cattle trails glory, ISL. there
came such a storm. 1t was estimated
that 100000 head had been driven up
from the ranches of the south to the
shipping stations along the lines of rail
road just completed to the mountains.
But the market in Chicago was ''off."
The buyers were afraid of Texas fever
and other things. The prices We're so
low that the cattle were scattered over
the prairies of Nebraska and Kansas,
to be held ever until spring. Sleet. fol-
lowed by a terrific period of cold. came
upon the plains. When it was over the
slaughter was simply awful. One herder
told me that out of 100 head under his
care just one lived through. Out of one
herd of 5000 OH the upper Republican
only 200 were found in the spring. From
one Kansas station were shipped 10000
hides taken from the dead cattle; from
other stations half as many were carried.
1t was the severest blow even given the
cattle industry on the mid-prairie pas
lures, and it took years for the business
to get back to its Old-time vigOr.

Career os n Great Man.

Counting from the time when the world
first took cognizance of him, Mark Hanna
is only 2 years old. Yet today he is one
of the greatest men that ever lived.
Much ignorant and vulgar astonishment
has been expressed that a man could be-
come so great in so short period. This
establishment" says Professor Rubbers,
the eminent .astrologer, simply shows
how childishly egotistical men are; how
every man thinks he is tie whole world
and that everything begins to exist only
when he begins to see it.
when Mr.. Hanna first suddenly ap-
peared in all the plenitude and splendor
of his greatness" Professor Rubbers con-
tinued. II knew and other scientific men
knew that NOBODY of such magnitude
and power could have been made out of
hand in few days. l began an investi-
cation and soon discovered that Mr..
Hanna had been a great man for hun
dreds of years, although it was only in
January, 1896. that he appeared above
our horizon. To understand what |
has been shining for thousands and
thousands of years, yet if we were to
cross the equator we would see it for
the first time. Mr.. Hanna and the south
ern cross are old friends"
This simple but convincing explanation
will do much to correct the popular i'm
preston that Mr.. Hanna is new man
and that he achieved greatness at Il
bound. During his brief period of activ-
ity on this sphere Mr.. Hanna has done
much: but his most notable achievement
was the discovery in 1896 of that pros

Laborer Discovers Can of Preserved
Fruit In an Old Cellar.
Canned peaches at least rs years old,
which, like wine, seem to have improved
with long standing, were feast few
days ago for the family Of Charles
Zellman, of Haddington, reports the
Philadelphia Record. 1t was while Dig
ging with fellow workmen for the cell
lars OF q row of new houses on ground
that was once part Of the old Dalton
farm that ZellmaD struck his pick into
a cavity. Investigation revealed sort
Of 'stone-lined well not more than six
feet deep, which had been covered over
and concealed. There was a foot of
clean cold water at the bottom, in
which stood an old-fashioned glazed
earthenware jar, with the lid sealed.
tightly on with wax. 1t was not with
out some difficulty that the jar was
opened, but 1t was finally done by
forcing It with the edge Of aspade. The
men had expected TO see treasure Of
some kind and were surprised, not To-
say disappointed, when only bright yell
low peaches met their gaze. The fruit
was perfectly preserved. Zellman
claimed the prize by right Of discovery,
and his family devoured the contents
of the Jar, about two quarts, withoutre-
gard to historic value. Close by the
covered well is the now leveled site Of
the old Dalton farmhouse, abandoned
early in the present century. How the
good wife who put up the peaches hap
pened to forget them in the spring is
more thancan be told, nor does Zellmnn
greatly care.
