The famous Appian way. mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con
nected the Eternal City with all parts
OF south Italy. For many miles from
Rome the space on each side was filed
with sepulchers, many OF them of per-
sons distinguished in history. To have
Il sepulcher on the Appian way was
equivalent TO being buried in Green
wood, in New York, or Pere In Chaise,
in Paris.

Reception on The Denver.

II reception aboard the new steamship Den
yer of the Mallory line between the hours
of 4 and 6 o'clock this afternoon. The
friends aud patrons of the company aud
the public at large were lnyitcd to inspect
the shin aud a large crowd was in attend
ance. j. b, Denison, the local agent Of
the Mallory lluc, and Captain Risk received
the visitors on behalf OF the company and
the officers Of the shin attended them
while on hoard and showed them over the
vessel. So much has been said of to
Denver that most Galvestonians at least
mad an idea of what the ship was like, but
many excavations Of pleased surprise were
made by the visitors this afternoon as
they were shown through the yariouS apart
ments of the handsome steamer. The
Denver Is really the finest ship that ever
came TO Galveston In many respects. Her
passenger accommodations are equal to
those OF any foreign ship that ever came
to this port aud the vessel is equipped
with all of tho lgtest COnveuipuCCs.
When fairly in working order there seems
TO be lttle doubt that the Denver will be
able to make the trip from Galveston to

sorewmen out Of EmnIovment.

Galveston, Texas. October 25.-As n re-
suit Of the prevailing low rates for ocean
tonnage cotton is now being loaded into
steamers here without being screwed. and
In consequence a large number Of laborers
who follow the vocation Of cotton screw
men are out OF employment. During the
early part of the season there was very
little cotton shipped through Galveston,
and the laborers did not get much 10 do on
this account, hut nov that the cotton ~
being moved and they are still unemployed
makes their condition worse than Il was
before. The reason the cotton is not
screwed Is simply because the rates for
tonnage are So low that II will not paw to
employ screwmen TO screw the cotton
and thus Increase The tonnage capacity OF
the ships. While thu tendency ~ the
ocean freight rates caring the last few
weeks has been slightly upward, there
does not seem to be any certainty In re-
gard to the time when the rates will he nd
vanced sufficiently to make the employ.
ment Of the cotton screwmen profitable,
and the men are much In need of work.
