Pardon Of Joln Nance

The Wjhon-Longino new-paper tru.t
and combine at Jsckson are making a
great deal d capital. 70 they seem to
think, ont Of the fact that the trial
Judge, The prosecuting attorney and a
few good men recommended the pardon
Of the negro rapi.t, John Nance. There
are. however, few facts in connection
with this pa'don, which, II kuown to
the public would take all the wind ont
Of their sails and damn th, present
pardoning power in the eyes Of all
Southern white men,
The Post is informed on authority
that cannot be questioned that both
GoYeruors Stone and McLanrin were
appealed to pardon this same negro
rapist. Stone was then serving bis
second term ss chief executive and
made careful investigation into the
case, afterwards telling the gentleman
who had presented the petition that the
negro had been tried and convicted on a
charge CT having raped white woman
and that he would see him in hades be
fore he would pardon him or any other
man, white or black, for such an in,
famous crime.
a lew years later, Gov McLaurin
appeared on the scene as the head Of
executive affairs, and this same gentle
man from Yazoo, brought the matter
OF the pardon OF the old negro rapist
before him, and was again turned
down, mo, said Gov. McLanrin

DUCHESS CARVED IN MARBLE.
Wife of Duke of Marlborough Has
Statuette of Herself Made by
Eminent Sculptor.

An exquisite statuette Of the duch-
ess of Marlborough has Just been
carved In marble by Fuchs, who
painted a successful portrait of King
Edward, and designed the new post
age stamps. The duchess is repre-
scented in a reclining position on a
wide couch with an empire dress OF
thin material that falls into many
folds. The marquis OF Blandford,
her elder son, has also been carved
in marble by the same sculptor. The
boy is lying on his back, his chubby
upturned face wearing an interested
look, as If watching a butterfly. His
fat limbs are finely modelled.
Although the gossips say many
things about how the fortune of the
duke and duchess will be affected by
the marriage fthe duchess father,
w. X. Vanderbilt, the work of build
ing Blandford house is not stopped
altogether, as it has been asserted.
There has been considerable delay
in the arrival of materials, carvings
and marble from the continent, and
it is said that the architects cert1h-
cate for payment has not met the
customary response. Certain mat
ters being in dispute, the builder has,
under the contract, the option OF
stopping work until the money Is
paid.
Although the greatest reticence Is
observed by all concerned in the de-
lay, a story is going the rounds that
the new Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt
is anxious for a statement showing
how the money given to the duchess
by her father two years ago, for the
purpose of building a London home,
has been spent.

INDIANS KNOW A COWARD.
Red Skin Has n Why OF Telling
whether White Man VIII
Fight or Not.

An Oklahoma man once told an
1ndianthata desperate white man was
after his scalp. He smiled and shook
his head, relates the Kansas City
journal. A few days later we were
talking to the white man. when the
Indian came up to join the group,
He had spotted the stranger and
knew him by sight. Without saying
a word to him he walked up within
arms reach and struck the white
man IN the face with rough, heavy
glove. He paused for few seconds
and hit him again. "Ugh!" he ex
claimed as he wheeled around and
walked away. The white man looked
at the Indian In amazement, but
made no show of resentment. Later
in the day, when we asked the Indian
why he didn't follow up the insult
with blows, he told us the white maI
was n coward In explaining how he
knew it he said the mans Jaw drop
ped" when he struck him In the face
the second time with the glove, ant
that this, with the Indian, was an un
falling sign of cowardice.

An Impressive Instance of the Cool

"Mr. du Chaillu was man whom you

he once took with me. He sat in the

and we came near having rear end
collision.
"Mr du ChaiIlu, from his seat,
could see the other train approach

pretty near inevitable. He said to
me as l took my stand beside him:
Conductor, have you got a piece

"'What on earth, SIR ! asked, do

ROMAN ARENA DUG UP
Ancient Amphitheater Is Discovered
Under the City of Paris.
Was Evidently Built During the RO-
man Occupation of Gnul-Efort
to he Made to Restore the
Interesting Ruin.

In the very heart of Paris, shut IN
by iron ratings and hidden from the
street by little hill, grass covered
and adorned with trees, lies a most
interesting relic of the days long
since gone by when this beautiful
city was under the rule of the Ro-
man invader. The spot is known to
those who know it at all as the Pare
LArene, and the Roman arena which
nestles quietly in its center was dis
covered by accident after sleep OF
many centuries. 1t has never been
mentioned in any guide book.
There was urgent need Of new
water supply in the locality on the
left bank of the Seine, not far from
the Jardin DIES Plantes. To provide
reservoir the authorities began to
excavate in little park at the cor
ner Of Rue Navarro and Rue Monge,
frequented only by children and their
nurses.
After the digging had been going
on awhile the workmen came upon a
structure belonging to another age.
Proceeding carefully. little by little,
they laid bare a Roman arena.
Whether the work was done by
Roman slaves or conquered Gauls I'M
der the lash Of Roman taskmaster
is matter of conjecture.
The entrance to the arena is from
the Rue Navarro. To the right and
left are the boxes reserved for the
mobiles, and one larger and better
situated than the rest may have been
for the emperor On either side OF
the entrance are cages built under
the seats. Looking into them the
visitor can fancy that one had been
cell for Christians and captives,
while from the other came the cries
and snarls Of hungry beasts that
we're to devour them in the arena to
furnish a Roman holiday in the cap
ital of sunny France.
When half of the arena had been
brought to view the work had to be
discontinued, as it runs under the
wall Of an adjoining building used
by an omnibus company, whose lease
has some time yet to run. The city
authorities have decided to buy the
property as soon as the lease runs
