OLDEST LETTER EXISTING.
Was Written 1000 Years Ago in
Babylon.


Dr. Hugo .Raudau St. Louis AS
S yriologisist, has come into posses
sion OF one of the most remarkable
letters in the world. 1t was written
1000 years ago by Ur En- "a a CHIEF
of oxen IN Babylonia and was ad-
dressed to Ur Tur 1t was a re-
ciept ior 10 CUR of grain.
This letter was never received by
the one for whom it was written. 1t
was care fully written upon a flat
piece Of soft clay inch wide l q in
ches long and x of an inch thick and
baked Then an envelope was pre-
pared for it. This too was inscrlb-
ed and baked. 1t became lost IN
Til-Loh, a city in Babylonia, and
was found there a few years ago.
when NJ. de Sarzac, the French arc
biologist, was digging out ID BABY :

DR.. Radau received the letter
from Rev. f. F. Van Hootegem, a
Roman Catholic priest who is rec
tor of St. Francis Seraph Church,
Holland, Wis. Rev. Van Hootegem
went around the world in 1900, and
the letter was given him at Calcutta
by Monseigneur Athanasius Igna-
inns Nouri, the Syrian Catholic
archbishop of Bagdad. 1t is sup
posed that it was either overlooked
q the French explorations or else
was taken by some dishonest Arab,

sent to Dr. Radau for that purpose.
HIS delight with it may be imagined
when 1t S known that this thorough
scholar in things pertaining to old
Babylonia opened the burned clay
and found the letter in
act and as legible after 1900 years,
as it was the day it was written.

PULLMAN CONDUCTORS
Want rIore Pay and Will Petition
the President.

The Pullman conductors want an
increase in pay, and with that end
in view will present a petition to
Robert Lincoln, President OF the
company. The petition has been
circulated for several weeks, and
now has several thousand names
attached TO it. The conductors
have no organization, and the petit
ton is in the nature Of request.
The men request that new men
be paid sos a month the first six
months they are in service and SIS
a month thereafter. The maximum
pay is now SIS a month, and they
want this increased to SIS a month.
The men now purchase their uni
forms until after they have been in
the service for ten years, when the
company pays for them. The uni
forms cost the men from $50 to S15
year. The men ask that the
company pay for all uniforms after
a man has been in the serVice six
months.
1t is also asked that all griev-
ances be referred to the General
Manager instead of the District Su-
perintendents-

Vesuvius' Death List.

The tourist who ascends Nesu-
vius does so at the risk OF his life.
1t is said that 1000 tourists have
been killed since it has become a
lad to make the ascent Of the vol
cauo. Formerly the trip was made
on foot or horseback, and these
methods are still used to a certain
extent. The fact that the central
cone of Vesuvius collapsed a few
days ago, and that long and deep
cracks have made their appearance
gives rise to reasonable belief thai
startling volcanic disturbances are
imminent, says HarPer's Weekly
Strange as 1t may seem, the region
is very fertile, and wine manufac
ture $ an important industry.

1t is my specially to fit glasses in
such a manner that they relieve the
strain perfectly; fitting the eye with
spectacles that you can wear with
ease and comfort, thus preserving
the eye. In examining the eye only
tie latest aud most improved meth

Physicians especially are invited

c. correcting errors of refraction.
Many cases of headache, neuralgia,
nervousness, irritabilty, insomnia,
vertigo, nervous prostration and
the seeming stupidity of children
are often due to defective vision
caused by the abnormal curvature

irregularity of the refracting media
of the ey e and are relieved by the
application of the proper glasses.
90 per cent of the people over 40
years of age need glasses and so
per cent Of the 90 need them for dis
lance.
Glasses are not always given to
improve eyesight, but to relieve un-
due strains-in other words to as
sist nature. Thousands of eyes
are ruined yearly. Seven persons
out of ten have neither eyes alike,
and one out Ct twentv Astigmatism,

eye separately. Specia! attention

RAILROADS LOSE.
Kentucky Court OF Appeals Decides
Franchise Suits For The
State.

The Judgment of the Franklin
Circuit Court was affirmed by
the Courtof Appeals in the case OF
the Southern Railway, etc. Us. Gus
G. Coulter, Auditor The whole
court sat in the case. CHIEF Justice
Gully wrote the opinion and Judges
Burnam and DuRelle disenedt.
The action was brought by a
number of railroads to eujoin Coult-
err, etc. (the State Board of Assess
ment and Valuation,) from certify
inc from various counties, towns
and taxing districts, for collection,
a franchise tax assessed or to be
assessed against various railroads.
The ground relied upon by the road
was that it it was illegal to certify
any franchise tax as due from the
railroads to the counties.
The several actions were consoli'
dated and heard together. The
court dismissed the action and re-
fused to grant the injunction. The
railroads appealed, The affirm
alton of the case is a decisive victo-

members of the Board aud will re-

Suffrage Debate in Australia.
The granting Of national suffrag.
, to women throughout Australia i,
naturally hailed by the advocate.
Of the ballot for women as a long
step OF progress for their cause
The debate over the question in the
( Senate Of Federated Australia was
spicy and amusing 1t shows that
the arguments both for and against
equal rights for women are much
the same at the antipodes as in
America.
Senator O Conner, in introducing
the bill, said it would give Parlia-
mentary suffrage to 765, 4O7 women.
He saw no reason why Parliament
should continue to pass laws which
had to be obeyed by women, with
out giving the women some voice in
the selection of those who made the
laws.
Sir JOSIAH Symon said W men did
not want to vote. Senator McGre-
gor, of South Australia, where wo-
men already have a vote Tor the To-
cal Parliament, said they certain
ly showed no unwillingness to vote
IN his part of the country; for in
South Australia there were $4,000
women on the electoral roll as COM
pared with $4,000 men. Senator
Barrett said the largest petition
ever presented to the local Parlia-
ment of Victoria was for woman
suffrage. 1t had to be carried on
the shoulders of two men.
Senator Fraser thought a wo-
man S place was at home. Another
Senator replied: "Senator Fraser
would take his lady friends to
church or to the theatre but not TO
the ballot box.
1t was declared that the women
would always vote for the hand
soonest candidate. Senator Stewart
retorted: THAT objection is com
pletely destroyed by the Senators
elected to this body from South Aus
tralia. Not one of them is dude. +"
This sally called out much laugh
ter
Senator Ewing, N a more serious
vein, pointed out that in England
and most of Australia the divorce
laws are unequal, giving the hus-
baud a right to a divorce for inf.
delity\on the part of his wife, but
refusing the wife divorce for inf
deity on the part of her husband.
In the two Australian States where
women have the Parliamentary
suffrage and in those only, the di-
vorce laws have been made equal
He also spoke of the many women
who have to earn their living, and
who ought to have voice in the
laws regulating labor.
throughout the debate it was &C
knowledged. even by the opponents,
that 10 South and West Australia
and New Zealand, where women al
ready have the tull ballot, none of
the predicted evils had come t
pass. The bill was also helped by
The fact that women already have
the municipal ballot throughout
Australia, and have used it in a
way to disarm all criticism. The
Melbourn Age said:
Considering that female sate
payers are entitled to vote in mu-
nicipal elections, and have been
exercising that right for many
years without voice being raised
either in depreciation of the princi-
pal or in censure of the practice, it
does seem rather absurd to bestow
the same privilege upon the sex at
Parliamentary elections. The re-
suit of the debate was fOregone
conclusion The bill was carried
without a roll call, the opposition
being 50 feeble that it had not
strength enough to call for a divis-
ion.

Senatorial situation,

For two months the democratic
papers have been making their leg
islative campaign on the sole issue
OF Teller vs.. Wolcott, and now that
the election is over and the republi
cans have won by a handsome ma
jority the democratic papers with
one voice raise the howl that VOL
colt has no right to make the race
for the position. In politics it is
alway the man. the opposition is
most afraid Of that they abuse most
and this accounts for the violent
abuse of Senator Wolcott by the
democrats. It only adds however to
the republican admiration of him.
There are various reasons why re-
publicans should favor E. o. VOL
colt, but first and foremost stands
the fact that he is the only states
man Of first rank Colorado has ever
produced, and in addition he has
borne the brunt of democratic at
tacks in every state campaign for the
past 10 years. and he, it was who
sustained and maintained the repub
lican organization in 1895 when such
men as Cloudy, Stevenson, Dixon and
and Moffatt were trying to destroy it
and openly announced that no repub
lican would be granted the right to
vote for Mckinley. He has done
more practical work for the state
than any other member the state has
ever had in either house Of congress,
and has more influence in Washing
ton than any dozen men in the state.
