ant discovery made by the Cavaliere
Giuseppe Pedercini-the finding Of an
other "emissarium" of Roman con-
struction, at a lower level than the
present one, through which the over
flow of the lake is drained.
Between the two levels, the ancient
and the one in actual use. 1t is ex-
pected that the ruins of the villa OF
julius Caesar will be found. Its dis
covery would solve several archaeolog-
ical problems which are not explained
at the present time.
The lake of Nemi, which fills the
crater of an extinct volcano in the
heart of the Alban hills, is. with its
larger sister lake of Albano, one Of the
loveliest of the many lovely scenes in
the vicinity of Rome. Seen from the
grounds of the Villa Sforza-C esarini,
which overhang its steep banks on one
side, there are few sights in the world
so attractive, and fewer still that pos
sess so historical an interest.

circumference at the waters edge. A
temple of Diana at one period stood in
the little plain between the lake and
the tiny town Of Nemi, which stands
on the ridge or lip of the crater. The
late Lord Saville, while he was Brit
ish ambassador at the court of the
Quirinal, made a contract with the
proprietor of the lake and its sur
roundings, Prince orsini, for the right
to excavate on the site of the temple
of Diana. the ambassador to bear all
the expenditure and the proprietor to
receive half the objects discovered. At
that time the existence Of the ships
lying on the bottom of the lake was
we'll known.

floor of his tent"
The ships that lie on the bottom Of
Lake Nemi, and which were intended
evidently to be imperial pleasure
boats, were not of very great size, con-
sidering the hugeness of the ocean
steamers of the present day, but they
were sufficient for their purpose.
1t was indeed little more than pool
in which these boats floated. but a
recent writer on Roman antiquities
notes that we are not far from right
if we compare the vessels which piled
on these waters in the centuries long
gone by to the liners which crossed
the Atlantic twenty years ago.
The deck of these ships must have
been a wondrous sight. 1.-The fanciful

Labor in South Carolina.

Charles w. O'Daniell, secretary of
the Central Labor Union of Charlotte,
N. c., is known throughout the South
east as the hoy secretary" He is said
to be the youngest secretary of a CEN
trial body in the country, and has not
vet reached his nineteenth year. His
election to the Office of secretary of
the central body was unanimous. The
State Federation of North Carolina
meets next month, and his friends may
persuade him to make the race for the
office of secretary of that body. Writ
ing of the labor movement in his city,
he says: Every union in our midst
seems to be on the grow; even our
colored brethren have taken the fever,
and in a short time we expect to have
at least five unions among them A
clerks union of fifty members has been
formed here. The plumbers union has
again been revived and every employee
of the street car lines belongs to the
union. The greatest strides have been
made among the textile workers. We
have three good working unions among
them with over 600 members.

Frank X, Foster. chairman OF the
legislative committee of the American
federation of labor, in recent speech
said:
"All strikes have many things In
common and some things which are not
In common. The first feature which
Is observed in looking over the series
Df conflicts between capital and labor
Is the immense impetus that has been
given in the last few years to the Or
ganization of labor. To-day between
5000, 900 and 100000 who speak the
English language are enrolled In the
trade union movement This represents
something more than creation or
shallow and selfish agitators and dema-
gogues.
".rhe trade union movement had its
birth, not in the mandatory of any
'ism,' but has grown and evolved out
of the absolute condition and necessary
of the worklngman's life. The trade
union recognizes the strike as legiti-
mate method Of control OF the price
of product, and for it the trade union
has nothing to apologize.
John Stuart Mill said a strike Is
wrong when 1t is foolish and we ac-
cept that principle. The mistake is
often made of confounding trade
unicnism with a striking machine. 1t
is not machine for striking pri-
marlly. 1t practices the graces of fra
ternity, benevolence and charity, and
the larger part of its activities are di-
rected to other channels than those OF
active coercion. The trade union
softens the asperities of race and
creed, and teaches to its members their
duties and rights.
1.-The fair employer has nothing to
fear from trade union activity.
1.-THE sympathetic strike is a COM
paratively new thing in labor activ-
tiles, and is not trade unionism In the
scientific use of the term. Trade
unionism is business proposition"

The committee to which the work OF
raising funds was intrusted has $1,000
In sight 1t will ask all unions affili-
ated with the Central Labor union to
assess their membership 1 cent per
week for one year, and hope to raise
$1,000 in this way. A residence will
be purchased and disposed Of by lot
terry, and the funds increased in every
possible way. The intention of those
behind the movement Is to erect a
building that will cost about $4,000
equipped not only with halls for meet
ing purposes, but with sitting rooms,
reading rooms. gymnasium and other
features calculated to make the place
attractive and beneficial to the 5000
organized workers of the Hoosier cap
ital.

these floating palaces must have been
allowed to follow the most extravagant
flights of his imagination without re-
gard to time and expense.
1.-THE deck is paved with discs Of
porphyry and serpentine not thicker
than a quarter Of an inch. framed in
segments and lines of white, gold,
red and green enamel. The parapets
and ratings are cast in metal and
heavily gilded; lead pipes inscribed
with the name OF Caligua carried the
water to the fountains playing amid

gentle waves of the lake. There are
other rich decorations, the place Of
which in the general plan of the vessel
has not yet been made clear"
Such is the style and character Of
the ships now lying on the thick ooze
Of the bottom of Lake Nemi.
A little distance off. on the farther
shore, rose the Temple of Diana, the
celebrated. Artemisium, that stood
upon an artificial terrace or platform,
having an area of about $4,000 square
meters, has been thoroughly explored
by the late Lord Saville, and the best
of the findings were given to the Brit
ish Museum, where they may now be
seen.
Many suggestions and indications of
the old life Of the temple neighborhood
were brought to light in the excava-
tions, but imagination is enkindled by
the prospect of the spectacle that
would be revealed to mems eyes If the
project Of Prof. Giuria be supported by
the king and carried out to its COM
pletion.

have been embedded for over eighteen
centuries. at the lowest calculation, in

build and perhaps to discover treasures

Child Workers In Mills.

In some of our greatest industrial
states, as in Pennsylvania, for in
stance, from IL to 20 per cent of the
mill operatives in some of the south
ern states are under ~ years old. Leg
islation against this terrible evil is
protested against on the pitiful whin-
ing plea that it will keep capital away.
1t is an evil that cuts both ways; in
fact, it cuts many ways. It's worst
results are, Of course, the future citi-
zenship and parenthood Of these unfit
children. but it incidentally tends to
make the father of family a loafer
when that family can be supported by
child labor.

innocence and positively denies all
knowledge of the affair,
Hay had been missing for two
days before his body was found bur-
led in a trench in a suburb OF this
city, and it was reported that he had
absconded with $4,000 in gold which
was alleged to have been paid to nm
