A British School at Rome.

A movement. supported by a strong
general committee. for the establish
ment at Rome of a British school sim
liar to that which has existed for thir-
teen years at Athens. Germany France,
Austria. and the United States already
possess institutions OF the kind In
Rome, but Great Britain. almost alone
among European nations. is unrepre-
sented. The need is recognized in that
city of a British center of study and
research. offering to British students
the advantages enjoyed by members OF
other nationalities. The formation Of
such a center would be welcomed by
the committee of the Athens school. as
a means of enabling students to COM
plete in Rome the training they have
received in Athens, though the work
done in both cities would be of sim
liar character. The school in Rome.
like that in Athens. would be train
ing ground for students fresh from the
universities or other institutions. as

students could gather, to the stimula-
ton of intercourse and sympathy and
the achievement of more concerted and
continuous work.-London Echo.

A Ffye-Legged Frog,

A fve-legged frog has come all the
way from Connecticut and taken up his
abode in the New York aquarium. He
did not hop here-even frog with five
legs could not do that-but travelled In
a box with some wet moss to keep him
cool. When he was transferred to a
tank he uttered graceful chirrup and
blinked his golden-rimmed eyes. At
first glance this newcomer seems to
carry his extra leg so gracefully that
the beholder is tempted to think that
all frogs ought to have three front legs.
Closer examination. however. shows
that the middle leg Is really an excres-
cence from one OF the others. and is
not of much service to its proprietor.
He does not use 1t in swimming or
hopping. but it imparts certain dig
nifty to his aspect.-New York World.

CHAPTER I.
A Soldiers Honor.

Quivering air every object seemed
STEPPED in radiant light. and even the
forest afforded no GOODNESS. for 1t, too,
was pervaded by the sultry atmos-
phere. and beneath the huge trees the
burning breath of noon was still felt.
Under one Of these trees, whose
branches, heavy with foliage, extend
ed long distance, two young men had
flung themselves on the ground, appa-
rently for a short rest.
Both wore the uniform of the Union
army, one being a lieutenant and the
other surgeon. The latter. who had
q slender figure somewhat below the
middle height, expressive features and
dark hair, lay in a comfortable atti-
tude on the turf. listening calmly to

THEIR WAR-CLUBS BURIED.
Citizens of Neihart Hide Their An
ceslral Hatred and Smoke the CAL
umet Together.

According to the citizens call in
last weeks issue, a strong a
meeting was held in Crawford's hall
Tuesday evening, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for mayor.
Geo. Bulge was elected chairman,
and M. f. Boland secretary. But
one name was presented as the can
didate, that of our popular towns
mar +. A. Shaw. He was chosen
by reclamation. And for once the
people of Neihart agreed to snap
their bowstrings, and wash the war
paint from their faces.
The mass meeting divided its
members into wards and proceeded
to put up candidates for alderman.
First ward chose Peter Rush, and
second ward Olof Morton. Third
ward made no choice. 1t occurred
laterly however that Mr.. Morton is
ineligible on a limited time of resi-
dence, and the right of a meeting
called to name a mayor proceeding
to nominate aldermen was question
ed, so on the next day, the nomina-
tons for aldermen were filed by pc
tition as follows: First ward, Peter
Rush; second ward, Geo. Marelius;
third ward, w. Fl. Harrison, all of
the Citizens party, with E. A. Shaw
for mayor. There is no other ticket.

ore from the Benton lease. Efforts

amount of the check have been flu

it was very satisfactory. But in a

out that d. l.. S. Barker's cut out of
it on a 10 per cent royalty was over
$4,000. At this rate the 10 tons of
ore must have Melted the ~leasers not
less than $4,000. The Benton is

HIS REASON DETHRONED.
John Finnegan, a Neihart Miner, Adjudged Insane and Sent
to the Asylum

ter NOPE back to the hospital and take
care of himself. Finnegan said he would
first have to see some parties, and start
ed up the Broadwater hill. Seeing Mr..
Conner set out to head him off, he ran
like a frightened coyote down over the
rocks back of the VI. E. church and
skatcd the sidewalk down town. Twice
he was put to bed and twice lie broke
away from the house.
Mr.. Conner, knowing his demented
state, complained in the formal way be-
fore Justice Abbott, who issued a war
rant to have Finnegsn examined for bug
house. He was ~apprehended and put to
bed in the hospital, with j. l.. Adams
for ii guard. Thus left, he rose in his
red flannel uniform, sans hat, sans shoes
and even minus the customary fg-leaf,
passed Adams, jumped through the win
dow and ran as far as the Florence mine
before his lusty pursuers could overtake
him. Some old donnage at the mine
was appropriated to screen his decollette
attire and he vas brought back to the
hospital.
TIE Jail would doubtless have been
his lodgment, had he not been suffering
with mumps, but DR.. Stclle forbade him
being thrown into a damp cell.
After the first break, the guard was
doubled AMI Finnegan was free no more.
He lapsed into "a scmi-comatose, semi.
Opossum state, and for abont four hours
noticed no one, and even refused to
eat or drink. He looked a case of total
collapse. But, once when VIM. Farrell
one of the guards, stepped out Of the
room, leaving Gus Anderson alone will
him, the demon arose and made a sortie
for the door. In a second, Anderson
was using him for a tete-a-tete, and lat.
cr, being joined by Farrell, together they
put his to bed again, Finnegan all the
time crying, Call out the whole town
Pm dyin'! I'm dyin' with the sam

Later in the night he nearly succeeded
in o%verturning the stove. 1t was though
best to keep him here no longer, and HI
was sent Tuesday to be tested for %lunacy
