Improvement of the Appomattox.

THE plan for the Improvement Of the APP
pomattox at Petersburg. Va. as proposed
by the United States army engineers is alb
solutely unique" said F. B. Barker of the
Virginia city to a Star man at the Ebbitt
THE proposition is to have two channels
from Petersburg to Point Of Rocks, where
there is a depth Of thirty feet or more
Through one Of these channels the freshet
water Is to pass and the other is to be nav
igable. Many years ago the Appomattox
river flowed along what is known as the
old channel During some freshet the wa
ter cut its way to another depression, soon
washing 1t out so that when the water sub
sided there were two channels. The one
now used cannot be kept at a depth suita-
BILE for navigation. owing to the deposits
left by freshet water. The city of Peters
burg has spent millions of dollars on the
channel without being able to keep it open,
so now one channel is to be made tnayiga-
BILE and the other left to carry off the
freshet water. This will be done by the
use Of a dam

Discovery Of an Aztec Mine.

THAT prospectors and miners can never
be certain that they have worked out a
property was clearly demonstrated by the
recent discovery of a fabulously rich de-
post of silver in an abandoned mine in the
Altar district of Mexico a short while ago."
said D. A Macon of Ell Paso Tex, to a
Star man. THE mine was an ancient one
and had evidently been abandoned many
years ago by the Aztecs who had worked
1t. The recent discovery was made quite
by accident The underground system of
workings is very extensive, and there is in
sight over 81 100000 worth of silver ore,
The recent exploration of the mine showed
the skeletons OF ten men lying in one of
the chambers. A large supply of mining
tools made out of copper was also found
Piles OF rich silver ore were stored in I'M
foreground chambers which will cost little
to take out to the smelter"

STRIKERS IN A RIOT.
Woman Leads a Mob of Greek Mill
Workers at Lowell.

A dispatch from Lowell. Mass, last night
says: A body of police officers marching
in solid front from curb to curb drove a
thousand noisy Greek mill workers through
the streets of Lowell for nearly mile to-
night and prevented what might have de-
veloped into a riot. growing out of the re-
turn to work of number of ring spinners
in the Lawrence mill who left work a week
ago in sympathy with the strike order of
the textile council.
Tonight's disturbance in front of the
gates of the Lawrence corporation was
the first breach of the peace since six OF
the seven big mills ordered struck by the
textile council shut. down. throwing ap-
proximately 1900 persons into idleness.

consul at Athens, gave an illustrated lee
ture on Village Life in Greece" An en-
joyable social feature of the celebration
was the Informal reception, held after the
close of the lecture in the library, when
brief musical program was rendered.
President Needham of Columbian Uni
versity introduced Mr.. Horton and pre-
sided. Mr. Horizons lecture dealt with the
Greeks of the present, with modern con-
ditions. customs and beliefs, rather than
with matters of the classical period. The
speaker declared that modern Greece Is
one OF the most interesting countries in
europe, and there Is much in the life of
the people which has come down through
the ages with but little change.
Among the first of the views shown was
picture of Poros, where Mr. Horton spent
several summers Interesting places about
the city were described, while the pic
lures were thrown upon the screen. Views
of the principal cities were shown, and
various scenes were depicted illustrative
of the quaint customs and manners of the
people
The people still strongly believe in curl
GUS superstitions, the speaker said The
legend of the vampire and of the evil
eye are very real to the villagers of mod

they can be persuaded that there are parts
of the world where belief in these things
is not entertained.
Courtship and Matrimony.
One series of pictures represented the
various stages of courtship and matrimony
another was a succession of agriculture
scenes, and one depicted the funeral cere-
monies 80
In some of the pictures shown the audi
ence was reminded of the oldness of many
of the customs which now obtain in Greece
women were spinning with aid of a dis
taft, very like those mentioned by Theo-
critus, and with whorls similar to those I'M
earthed in the excavations of Tyrins In
Greece wheat is still gound by means of
hand mills, and grain is cut by women
armed with sickles.
The musical program during the recep-
ton consisted of the following numbers:
Piano solo, Miss Burt; vocal solo, Miss
Showalter, accompanied by Miss Thomp-
son on the piano. and violin Obligato by
Miss Ames; selections by the Columbian
University Glee Club, under direction of
Mr. L. r. Alden.

uary, 1900, by Prof. Mitchell Carroll, and is

To Use Pine Stumps for Paving.

The citizens of Augusta are about to
take up the experiment of paving the
streets with yellow pine stumps, and It is
believed that 1t will meet with success
said r. T. Thorpe Of the Georgia city to a
Star man. There are no end of yellow
pine stumps in the Georgia forests. Both
London and Paris have their principal
thoroughfares paved with Georgia pine,
which has been given a creosote treatment
TO prevent decay and then hardened with
resin and there appears to be no reason
why this same material cannot be used at
much less expense at home where there
are 'stumps to burn 50 to speak"
