THE SAME OLD QUESTION.

when the Centuries Began.

Even Cato and scIpIo D;scusscL
when the Centuries DsEan.
In the years Geo and COL 4. u. c.. CIR
Aino Crbis Conditaa-tEat is. after tha
building of Rome. or 154 and 153 g.
C.-the question was discussed IL
Rome whether COO or col was the be-
ginning Of the seventh century after
the founding of Rome.
While rs. In our days. the standing
question in the capital of the Romans
was "Quid novi ex AfricaY" What is
the news from Africa?) a third war
with the republic Of Carthage seeming
imminent, Cato the elder, Scipio the
younger and other prominent men CT
the day found time for the discussion
of the century question and disagreed
Some held that GOO, others that Col,
was the first year of the new century
Of old Rome.
So Calpurnius Piso. the Roman an
nalist. tells us in his records. He after.
ward, in 14S B. c., commanded the
Roman legions in Africa against Car
thage, which two years later succumb-
ed to Sciplo Africanus, by whom it
was destroyed.
No doubt hardly century passed
after the times of Charles the Great
(Charlemagne) in which the centurial
commencement problem did not agitate
the minds. This was especially the
case in Italy in the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries.
In the year 1000 there was such n
hot discussion on the question in Ger
many that medal was struck in COM
memoration of 1t, with the German in
scription which in English version is:
ooh. wonder of wonders! Man counts
1000, and still he ponders how old he
may be-"
Toward the end of 1899 the same dis
pute arose in the fatherland, and the
discussion was especially hot at Wei
mar, at that time the center of German
culture. There were two opposing par
ties called respectively the Ninety
miners" and "Hundreders," according
to their believing either 1899 or 1850 to
be the last Of the eighteenth century.
Goethe and Schiller. as may be seen
from their letters, at first siding with
the "Ninety-niners," finally were con-
verted to join the "Hundreders," but
not without first having celebrated,
over bowl of champagne, the close of
the eighteenth century on Dec. 81.
1883. and again celebrating in the
same way the beginning of the nine
teenth century ON Jan. 1, 1S01.-Balti-

A SONG BY MALIBRAN.
How 1t burst Forth After One of Her
Periods of Silence.

VI oAAchCc.
In the autumn of 1882 Malibran was
at Rome and went one afternoon to the
Villa Pamphili with Horace vernet,
then director Of the French academy at
Rome, his wife and beautiful daugh-
ter. Louise Vernet, and Legouve. The
great singer had been mute for several
days, such periods of silence In her art
being not unusual with her. Walking
through the grounds, they came to one
of those delicious corners of umbra-
geous green SO characteristic of a Ro-
man garden, where a little fountain
gushed from under a low terrace, ap-
preached by two short flights of mar
BILE steps and shaded by tall expresses
and pines.
The freshness Of the water and the
heat of the day tempted Mallbran, who
ran like n child to hold her head under
the fountain. Her hair was soon wet,
and she laughingly shook down its
raven black coils to dry. The sunlight,
piercing through the trees like little
golden arrows, caught the crystallized
drops Of water on her head and made
them shine like tiny stars. She sud-
denly looked up at the platform above
the fountain. Her countenance chang
ed. The laughter ceased and gave
way to a serious and strange express
sion. She slowly mounted the marble
steps and, reaching the platform, lifted
her face toward the heavens, looking
like priestess with her flowing hair,
and intoned the great air from Norma,
"Casta Diva"
The surprise, the singularity Of the
mise en- scene, the delight of hearing
her In such spot after n long silence,
her own emotion Mt hearing her voice
Joined with that Of the murmuring
fountain, the breath of the air and all
the splenlors Of that garden, made
such an impression on the small group
OF listeners looking up at her on her
pedestal that none of them could re-
strain his tears.-Cornhill Magazine.

NEVADAVILLE.

The social dance given by the Baseball
Club last Saturday evening was very
enjoyable affair. About forty couple
were present, and all had good time.
The boys are all right to show their
friends good time, and next time will
be greeted by larger number of
dancers yet.
The base ball game between the
Nevada Stars and the Central nine,
which played on King Flats last Sun
day, proved sort of slugging and
base-running match on the part of the
Stars. The score at the finish was
called % to 6, but the scorer had run
out of paper and could not put down any
more of the Nevada boys runs. The
batteries were Chapple and Rowe, and
Cody and Carlson. Another game will
be played in the near future when the
Central boys hope to turn the game the
the other way. The Stars wore their
new suits OF maroon with red trimming
for the first time, and made a very hand
some appearance.
The Star Base Ball Club will give
social ball next Friday evening, June
10. They have engaged the Opera
House Orchestra, and promise everyone
who attends royul good time, and the
boys will see that all do have pleasant
evening. Tickets have been put on sale

followed by the five scratch men.
There were seventy-three entrants, but
a few of them were not on hand when
their time arrived for starting. The roads
were reported in bad condition as a re-
suit of recent rains, and early predictions
were that the best time would be nearly
seven hours for the ride.
The record over this course is held by Al
Flath, of Chicago, who, under exceptional
ly favorable conditions, made the run In
