Secrets of the Old Roman Bath.

LONDON chronicle.
Women used to lose their hairpins a
thousand years ago much in the same
way as they do today. That, at least,
is the impression one gets from the
antiquities found during last year at
the Silchester excavations
The most interesting discovery was
the building which formed apparently
the principal baths of the Roman
town. The exploration of the baths
yielded a number of architectural frag
ments. including a small altar, por-
lions of capitals and bases, part of
large basin of Purbeck marble, and
some singular pieces of metal
In filled-up hypocaus were found
at least 100 bone pins, which had evil

baths. Probably they had been drop

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1904.
CLEVELAND ON THE STUMP.

Is there any reason why Mr.. Cleve-
land should not take the stump for
Parker and Davis, 1t ought to be one
of the early duties with which the
Chairman of the National Committee
charges himself, to find out what the
''Old Mans" opinions and feelings are
with respect to making one or two or
three or even a half dozen speeches for
the ticket. There will be objection
especially among Republicans, to the
lack of dignity in an exPresident's
taking the rostrum in a hot party cam
paign. There would be some Demo-
Gratis who would agree with the Re-
publicans. In fact, though, there
would be no more improperly in Mr..
Clevelands addressing a mass meeting
of his fellow citizens. than it would be
for him to write a letter having the
same purpose of commencing a certain
ticket and certain policies to the suf-
frages of his country men. Ex-Presi-
dents have never hesitated to write
open letters and John Quincy Adams
died in harness as a member of the
materially added to his renown by his
enormous activity as an ex-President.
For ourselves we hope to see Mr. Cleve-
land taking hand for his party in an
other and more effective way than by
writing letters acceptable though these
may be. When the contest gets warm
and very warm it is going to be we
interest will be found one in New York,
the other in Chicago. Sufficiently large
maJorities in those two places would
assure the election of Parker and Da-
Wis. Mr.. Cleveland could do more
than any living man to sway by word
of mouth one of the huge representa-
tive gatherings we are accustomed to
see in those cities
The total outlook is extremely graft
flying to Democrats and If Chairman
Taggart-if it is to be Chairman Tag
gart-is able to tell the country that
Mr.. Cleveland will actively participate
in the campaign, Democrats will feel
strongly renewed assurance of success.
Everybody knows The Advertiser
has at all times been strong and con-
sistent admirer of the ex-President.
We admire him no less today than we
ever did. We are DESTROYS of new hon
ors for him. We nominate him for the
Office of Stump King in this year 1904
Let him step forward and in that clar-
ion voice, his genuinely clarion voice,
that has uttered and can utter nothing
base. pronounce in the hearing of all
his countrymen, Parker and Davis.

mocracy."

1t is reported that Charles A. Walsh
of Iowa, for some time Secretary of the
Democratic Committee, is a candidate
for reelection. If the members of the
Committee have any regard for what is
right and proper they will decline to
re-elect him. While he has been the
paid official of the whole party for
months past he was running over the
country in the interest of one candidate
for Presidential nomination. II was
something, in view of the relation he
occupied to the whole party. that he
should not have done. The officials of
the Committee should be absolutely
fair TO all candidates and If they are
not they are not fit for the places they
hold.

SENATOR TILLMAN.
Does Not Talk Harshly of GOldbugs
ANY More.

Cincinnati Special to Washington Post
Il feel as though goldbugs were bit
ing me all over. SAID Senator Tillman
of South Carolina, who passed through
here today on his way from st. Louis
to Washington.
That was great convention at
st. Louis. l was in the convention of
1892 when Cleyeland rode rough shod
over us. 1 was at Chicago when the
free silver issue was born, and now l
am just returning from the conven-
ton where free silver was laid away
in its coffin and the mourners crowd
ed around in procession.
We'll, we did the only thing there
was left for us to do" answered the
Senator when reference was made to
his part last evening in keeping the
convention in check.
The effect OF Parker's action GER
tainly will be wholesome in one re-
spect. 1t will stop the cartoonists and
Republicans from presc ing Parker as
manikin that would lit into Hills
pocket. l think we are going to win
with our ticket. OF course. we must
get the votes in the East and the
South. We shall not quit fighting in
this campaign till after the election.
Ex-senator Kennedy of Delaware,
also passed through here today en-
route from st. Louis. ''I do not know
yet" said he, what effect the conven-
ton will have in the East. Parkers

is calculated to bring the border States
back into the solid South. The con-

any since the civil war. l believe the
result this fall will, whichever way
the election goes, be very pronounced.

Kennedy. Notice how he voted his

Senator Overman Says Democrats VIII
Win,

Louisville Courier Journal.
THAT famous telegram made Parker
one hundred times stronger than he
was before" said Senator Lee S. Over
man of North Carolina, last night as
he was waiting for the Southern Rail-
way train to pull out; He was on his
way home from the ST Louis Conven-
ton, and was In Louisville for only a
few minutes. He had time to express
his views on Judge Alton B. Parker
however. and did so in no uncertain
terms.
Parker showed by that telegram
that he is great man, grand leader
and man of principle who will make
a magnificent President. l think he
telegram he sent the Convention. He
awakened admiration even among his
opponents, for they must admire his
nerve and pluck and fearlessness
The Convention pleased me greatly.
The nominee is the best man they could
have selected and the platform is alb
solutely sound. l will say nothing
about the leaving out of the gold stand
ard plank. for ! do not want to crit
icise the Committee on Resolutions, but
Parker corrected the oversight.
I'VE will win in November You
mark my word. Parker will sweep the
country. Why, in that Convention
there was more genuine enthusiasm
and more interest after the telegram
from Parker was received than there
ever was before. That message show
ed the Convention the kind of a man
1t had nominated, and II went wild over
him. He was many times stronger with
the Convention after his telegram than
before. There will be no boiling Dem
ocrats; All will vote for the ticket, and
1t will win"

presidential Fitness.

81. LOUIS IkSpQDAlC.
Judge Parker in one day made of
himself commanding figure in
national leadership. Many-perhaps a
majority or his own parly-had look
ell with misgiving on his former re-
ticence, fearing that it betokened
weakness. When the time came to
speak his snessage came in a l3-inch
projectile, the impact of which startled
the world into a realization that here
was a man.
The political wisdom of the telegram

ton may be canvassed pro and con
Whether it showed full regard for

made some sacrifices to accept plat
