of surprise and curiosity there were
no cries of any sort raised. Preceded
by his guards Dreyfus entered the pris-
on, was formally consigned to the care
of the governor and was taken to Q
cell on the second story.
Husband aud Wife Meet.
Though rain fell heavily all night
the sun shone out brightly when Drey-
fus entered the prison. The governor
of the prison sent Madam Dreyfus the
news of the arrival of her husband and
she Immediately went to the governor
and asked permission to see the pris-
oner. Leave being granted, the faith
full wife entered the prison almost un-
observed, and was conducted to cell
No. $50, accompanied by Madam Ha-
vet. The meeting between the long
parted husband and wife can better
be imagined than described. Naturally,
1t was most touching. Both Dreyfus
and his wife were deeply affected. They
remained long clasped in each others
arms, tears and smiles intermingling
with tender endearments.

NEGRO MINERS SHOT.

Pana Men Given a Warm Reception at
Fredonia.
Carbonate, Ills, July 1.-Word just
received here that the colored men
from Pana, Ills, who went to the Will
hanson county coal fields received an
exceedingly warm reception as they
were attempting to reach the mines at
Fredonia. When nearing the mines
they were met with fusillade of shots,
resulting in the killing of one woman
and the wounding of twenty others.
Desultory firing is in progress and the
situation is critical.
When one mile north of Brush's
mine the negroes were unloaded and
marched across the country to their
destination. 1t Is said that a majority
of the rioters were negroes, whom
Brush brought here from the south
about a year ago, and have since Joined
the union. The latest news says there
is great excitement in the neighbor-
hood of the Brush mine and battle
between the working negroes. who are
well armed, and the strikers. who are
on the ground, ready for fight, may
be precipiated at any moment. Su-

for protection.
Carbonate, Ills. July 1.-Umon City,
named from the fact that it is oocu-
pied by union miners, was the scene of
battle about midnight and as a result
the town is in ruins. The non-union
negroes and other men employed by
Brush at his mines near Fredonia,
having become crazed over the killing
of a woman during the fight the day
before, went to the camp, which con-
sists of mine houses, and opened fire
on them. which was at once returned.
The battle ragged until the union miners
ran from their homes and took refuge
in clump of timber, close to the vii
lage.
The non-union men at once applied
the torch to houses and all were
burned to the ground. The men had
destroyed all property previously oc-
cupied by the union men. then they
moved on the woods and until daylight
the fusilade was kept up. No lives
have so far been reported lost In the
engagement at Union City. Union

Ancient Inkstands.

An inkstand that was probably in use
3, 400 years ago has been lately acquired
by a museum in Berlin. 1t is of Egyptian
make and Is supposed to belong to the
eighteenth or nineteenth dynasty, OF
somewhere about 1900 b. c., although its
real age can only be Judged of approx
mately.
1t is made Of wood and has two CON-
partments, an upper one provided with
two holes, one for black and one for red
ink, and a lower one for holding reed pens
The black and the red inks are oertainties,
for some still remains, in q dry condition,
within the receptacles.
Another ancient inkstand is supposed
30 have been intended for the use Of a
schoolboy. 1t would certainly hold ink
enough for schoolboy's needs, for 1t has
no fewer than four ink holes. Both ink
stands were found at Thebes.

It seems quite surprising that the an.

printing with movable types, inasmuch
Is they came so very near to It. They
aad wooden blocks carved with words
IN reverse, by means OF which they
stamped those words on pottery. while
the latter was as yet unbaked and soft.
incidentally 1t may be mentioned that
they knew the modern method Of
nendng broken pots by means Of riv.
sts, and many pieces Of pottery thus
'estored have been dug up,
In ancient Rome there was one daily
newspaper, which was written entirely
Dy hand Furthermore the Roman SEN
ate had a publication which cOrre-
spends to The Congressional Record,
being a report of the daily proceedings
,f that important legislative body. 1t
likewise was written by hand. Speak

the fact that the little boys of Rome
1000 years and more ago were accus-
