Too Late Now.

Representative Livingston bit
terly denounces congress for it's
extravaganza i'll making such vast
appropriations during the session
just closed. 1t will be rcmem-
bered that the "billion dollar con-
gress, so-called because it made
appropriations to that amount,
caused the republicans to be .driv-
en- out of power under an ava
lanche Of votes. The congress lust
expired made appropriations to
the amount of over one and one
half billions of dollars. To count
this sum would require seventy
years of labor for a person work
ing ten hours per day and count
ing one hundred dollars per min
ute, Sundays included.
Congressman Livingston should
be consistent. He was one of the
very few democrats who voted
with the republicans on the army
reorganization bill, which increas-
es that body to one hundred
thousand men, to support which
here and in the Philippine Islands,
Cuba, Porto Rico, and Hawaii,
costs the government more than
one hundred million dollars per

annum. The Philippine war
which Mr.. Livingston's vote help,
ed to sustain, is responsible for
much Of this enormous appropri-
alton by congress. 1t gave the
excuse for a larger navy and for a
number of other extravagancies
which would not have been in
Cured if the democrats in con-.
gress had done their duty ard FL
Mustered against and defeated any
proposition looking to any con-
tinuance Of the war in the Phil
ippines. No matter what the adj
mlnistration desired in regard to
those islands, if congress had tied
it's hands by refusing to provide
means to carry on the war it must
have come to a close. President
Mckinley very truly says that he
desired 70 avoid war with Spain in
the first instance, but both parties
in congress forced it upon the
country. He evidently does not
wish to be responsible for the dis
NAL failures resulting from that
war. Livingston, | believe, was
also one of the few Georgia demo-
Gratis who voted for that measure.
What have Southern senators
and representatives gained by
playing into the hands of the adj
ministration I? Nothing whatever.
The South has lost everything in
which it is most vitality interested.
The river and harbor bill, the
Nicarauga canal bill, the Char
lesion exposition bill, and, am
afraid, our Georgia Military Insti-
tute bill, to say nothing of the At
lanta park and postofice bills,
have all gone a-glimmering in or
der that all the money that the
government can rake and scrape
together may be used for subiu-
eating the Filipinos, and aiding
northern interests,
Is it not about time that we
elect a new delegation in the low
er house Of congress ? We have
recently ousted several prominent
office holders because it was con-
sldered that they had been at the
public trough long enough. Let's
be consistent.

A MELANGE OF
LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
More Proof.

In one or my communications
of recent date / mentioned the
fact that an ancient record has
lately been discoI cred at Susa, an
old city i'll Persia, which mentions
Elan, SON of Shem and a grand
son of Noah, just as it is stated in
the tenth chapter of Genesis. thus
corroborating strictly the Biblical
narrative Other confrmatory
proof in this direction has also
been discovered in the shape of an
ancient papyrus of Syria, which
in the most remarkable manner
tallies IN it's statements, though
differing verbally with the
gospel of Saint Matthew. The
statement of this codex, referring
to the approaching birth of Jesus
Christ, corresponds exactly with
the twentieth verse of chapter one
of Matthew. This manuscript is
supposed to date from A. d. $50;
and has just come into the poses
sion of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, that institution having con-
tributed to the fund raised for the
purpose of making these researches
in the ancient countries Of the
east.
Professor Wright, of Oberlin
college, who has recently been
making Investigations in the neigh
borhood of Mount Ararat, has
found indisputable evidence of
an extensive submergence of the
land there since the creation of
man, such as would result from a
great and deep flood. A skeleton
had been found deep down in these
deposits. y
Sir J. W. Dawson, K. G.. NJ. c.,
F. r. S., one of the most eminent
living scientists, says: "There
can be no doubt that within re-
cent years a large amount of work
on the part of surveyors, excava-
tors, and arch9ologists has been
throwing light on the older He
brew books, and remarkably vim
dicating their historical truth.
The signal confirmation of the
typographical accuracy of the
books of Exodus and Numbers by
the Ordnance Survey of Sinai is
one of these, though it's force is
scarcely yet appreciated by theo-
logians and linguistic scholars.
The late Professor Palmer has ex-
tended this evidence to the north,
and have myself ascertained the
geological and typographical ac-
curacy of the part of the narrative
relating to Egypt. My own stud
les of the region of the Dead Sea
have also enabled me to vindicate
the accuracy of the narrative of
the destruction of the cities of the
Plain, and the recent discoveries in
Chaldea have unearthed corrobo-
rative evidence of the battle of
Abraham with the Euphratean
kings. The excavations of Tanis,
Taphanes, Rameses and Pithom,
the Tel ell Amama tablets and
multitudes of other Egyptian
facts, have all tended in the same
direction. The excavations of
Lachish, the ruins of the ancient
Mlnean cities of South Arabia,
the monuments of the Hittites,
and the extension of the evidence
of literary work and education to
times long antecedent to Moses, in
Egypt, in Arabia, in Syria, and
IN Chaldea ali tend in the same
direction"
The clay tablet libraries now
being unearthed on the site of
ancient Babylon are also telling
their story of confirmation of the
sacred volume. | believe the pres
ent century will witness a COM
plete verificatioh Of the truth of
the Bible.

WON BY THE INSTITUTES,
Carroll BOwIers Defeat Jolly Fat Mel
and Take Second Place.

and Take Second Place.
The Carroll Institute bowling team con-
tinued it's good work last night against the
Jolly Fat Men, winning three games, all
of which were of high order of rolling.
The games were played on the Carroll In
stitute alleys, and were witnessed by quite
a large number of enthusiastic followers of
the ball and pin. In addition to the win
ming of the games the CAROLS pushed the
Jolly Fat Men out of second place in the
race for the championship of the local
league, and the Y. M. C. A. is the only ag-
gregation that heads them in the chase for
the coveted honor.
Tom Harlow OF the CAROLS once more
came to the front. with top score, this fine
bowler getting a bad start in the first two
games, but In the last pushed himself to the
fore, with a smashing record. Brosnan of
the CAROLS had the bes. average, getting
off we'll in the first game, making great
run in the second and again keeping up
with the leaders In the last. Livingston Of
the same team also did well. For the jolly
Fat Men Snltthson and Miller were the
bright particular stars. their work being
of the consistent order throughout the
match. In the third game Bruegger lost
ten pins through an unfortunate foul.
The first game was close throughout and
very exciting, Brosnan defeating his oppo-
nent, which enabled the CAROLS to quit
ahead. In the second the Carols put up
an almost nvincibe game, their score being
extraordinary. The Jolly Fat Men also did
well, and would have won under ordinary
circumstances. The concluding game was
almost a walk-over for the CAROLS through
the sensational work of Harlow. Thirty
four spares was the feature of note.
Tonight the Y. M. c. A. will compete on
their own alleys with the Golden Eagles,
and an interesting contest is expected.
Following are the scores of last nights
games.

Suit was entered in the Supreme Court
of the District today by Charles II. Meril-
lat, as administrator and attorney for the
estate of Martin l.. Donaldson. deceased,
against the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany to recover damages in the sum of
$4,000 The suit grows out of the death

tiIpiOy OF tDe DlStrlCt or COiunbla
and while on pole of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, at the corner of sd

become rotten and defective. The two
wires became crossed and the current of the
power company was conveyed over the time

Suspicious Persons In Town, but PO-
lice Can Make No Charges.
The police are still somewhat anxious
about the work of the porch climber and
the burglars who have been using Jim
N.Y. on front windows and carrying Off
money and jeweIry. Last night shortly
after O'Clock the police thought they had
a chance to catch one Of the burglars
when they received a message stating that
one Of them was supposed to be in the
home Of Mr.. R. Harris, the jeweler, No.
1882 18th street. Detective Browne was
sent to the house to make an investigation,
and he learned from a colored domestic IN
the house that she had discovered man
in one of the rooms on the second floor.
The detective failed to find burglar or
anything to Indicate that there had been
one in the house, and he was without IN
formation except the statement of the col
ored woman.
1t is reported by the police that there are
many suspicious persons In the city Just
now, but they are unable to get rid or
them in the absence Of definite charges
against them. The men who are referred
to, the police say do not come within the
meaning of the vagrancy law as 1t was
passed upon IN recent proceedings IN court.
There are those here, they say, who come
clearly within the provisions OF the suspi-
cious character clause of the Vagrancy law,
under which prosecutions We're formerly
conducted. A new law to cover this class
of cases is wanted, and the police nope
Congress will soon come to tnat CONCLUSION.
