Ancient Death chamber.

The governor of the ancient citadel of Aquila, contemplating repairs in the subterranean arrangements of the old pile, a wall was broken through, whereupon an ancient death chamber was discovered full of bodies of men and women, many of them wearing uniforms and fine dresses. The bodies being shut off from air. were perfectly preserved; there were no collins. Some of the corpses leaned against the walls, others lay in heaps on the floor. Investigation showed that the dead were prisoners of war during the French invasion of 1795, and that they were murdered by the gar rison or by the French when the citadel was taken. Many of the bodies show stab and shot wounds: others had knives and stilettos stick ing in their throat or breast. One hundred and forty-tive bodies were re- covered, among them many belonging to noble Italian families, according to papers found in their clothes.-Lon- don News.

MADE A TASTY EXIT.
LouisviI1e Story Teller Talks About the Sensational Sequel to a
 Stolen Kiss.

After various offerings of candy and flowers buggy drives and front seats at the theater, the young gentleman decided it was time to declare himself and win his reward. Accordingly he called on a Saturday evening, whe the young woman was sure to be at home, and when no other callers would inter fere. In his most irresistible manner he asked for a kiss. The girl refused.
 Then I shall kiss you anyhow" !" said the young man, not thinking for

moment that she really did not want him to do so.
 ''Then I shall tell papa" said the girl in her swe etest tones.
 Nothing daunted, the young man seized and kissed her not once, but several times. The girl hastily left the parlor and fled upstairs. Papa" she said, "Mr. - is down in the parlor. He is much interested in hunting and I was telling him of a new shotgun you purchased to-day. I tried to explain about it to him, but couldn't, and he wants you to bring it down and show it to him."
 The old gentleman was delighted. He took the weapon from it's case, put it together and carefully rubbing off the few specks of dust gathered on the barrels, started down the steps. As he entered the parlor door, says the Louisville Courier-J ournal, he was astonished to see g young man rush wildly across the room, jump through the window and disappear into the night.

VIRGINIA HARMED.
slS < .ss .ss x Il

Polls will undoubtedly be crowded fo-night when Virginia Harmed, the beautiful and gifted wife of B. H. Sothern, presents her much discussed creation of Iris in Arthur W. Pin eros great play of that name. The play has been discussed more proba- bly, than any drama of the present day, the critics having as many minds as to the play and the title character us there are critics. The play itself is a picture of how a good but weak woman is drawn down into the life of a moral outcast A great lesson is taught by the play, more powerful and eloquent than can be preached from any pulpit, and the picture it paints is said to be wonderfully true in it's hideous portrayal of the weak and sordid There is no doubt at all of the artistic excellence of the per fOE1nance. as anyone may expect from the eonSummate art of Miss Harmed herself and the splendid cast with which Charles Frohman has surround ed her. Prices are 25. 50, 75 cents, $1 and $150, with the free list rigi1ly suspended. The curtain will rise promptly at 8 o'clock and the audience are requested to be in their seats at that hour.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES,

1t is something of interest to see dogs leap over barricades piled up 12 and A feet high, and exciting as well, but 1t is more attractive yet to see them play on musical bells and chimes, which accounts undoubtedly for the large audiences that gather at the Jacques each afternoon and evening to see Prof Gillette's troupe of dogs. No such highly educated dogs have ever before been shown on the local stage, and there is quite as much nov city as there is perfection in all they do. The Great Montreal and his CO., median have a novelty in the way of Juggling, too. that keeps the audience on edge every minute and watching for the next quaint surprise to set them laughing or wondering. Milt Woods dancing and Minopede Ste phens's balancing eare attractive fea- lures also, as are the other acts intro duced by Julia Kingsley and Nelson Lewis, Miss Susie Fisher, Al H. Bur ton, and Smith and Bowman. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

A NIGHT CONFERENCE
Representatives of the Allies
 Closeted With Bowen.
STATUS OF THE VENEZUELAN CASE
BelgfTfm Likely to Take Part In the Administration of CustoEns Re- ceipts-The Diplomatic Debt
 Now Over S14,OOO,0OO.

a
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Brit ish and Italian ambassadors and Count Quadt, the German charge d'affaires, called on MT. Bowen, Vene- zuela's representative in the negotia- lions looking to a raising of the block ade and a settlement of the claims against Venezuela, about F0:3O o'clock last night and were in conference with him for more than an hour.
 The conference was by appointment and at the request of the representa- tiVes of the allies. 1t is believed that the purpose was to present the claims of the allies to preferential treatment in payment over those nations which have not exerted physical pressure on Venezuela, but it was impossible to get any direct information on this point.
 Signor des Planches, the Italian am- bassador, as the ranking representatiy of the allies, called on Mr. Bowen late yesterday and informed him of the dis patch of joint cablegram to the pow CTS and expressed the hope that it would expedite the arrival of the final answer.
 
 tained here of cable dispatches that Bel gium is to take a prominent part in the administration of the customs receipts. Mr. Bowen declines to discuss the de- tails of his plan, however, until the blockade has been raised. He has given out a brief statement of the diplomatic debt of Venezuela and the methods for it's future adjustment
 Tn round numbers, this debt amounted on Dec. 31, 1901, to something over $14, 100000 and consisted of claims which had previously been adjusted Since that date, owing to the almost constant state of revolution which has prevailed in Venezuela, no payments have been made on the debt. MT. Bowens plan provides that B per cent of the customs receipts of all the Vene- zueian ports shall go toward the pay ment of this debt.
 This arrangement, it is stated, will interfere, in nowise with the plan of MT. Bowen submitted to the-powers for the settlement of the djudicated claims. For the payment of the latter 30 per cent Of the customs duties of the two ports of Porto CabelIo and La Guayra have been offered in pledge by MT. Bowen. These ports were selected because they would be the last to fall into the hands of reVolutionists. Another Version of San Carlos ARa1r CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 29.-Ev- cry one here expects the blockade to be raised at any moment. It is learned from an officer of the United States gunboat Marietta, which has just an chored at La Guayra, that the German commodore Scheder on arriving at Gu racao with the Vineta said: sThe Pan ther did not fire the first shot on Fort San Carlos, but on Jan. r was obliged by a storm to take refuge inside the bar, and on coming near the fortress she tried to land boat flying red flag. This signal was misinterpreted by the fort. which subsequently, fired on The boat''
