To read Of these crises a long dis

are serious interruptions OF govern

they are less serious. They are, in
fact, nothing more than the natural

Instead, he has to govern jointly with
the congress under the parliamentary
theory carried to the extreme limit.
Political changes are frequent, and
the cabinet has to be shifted TO meet
them. Hence the ministerial or cab

oldest Letter in the world.

What is probably the most ancient
letter in the world has just been dis
covered in some excavations being
made in the Province of Attica, and NJ.
Wilhelm, secretary of the Austrian
Archaeological institute here. who has
succeeding in deciphering it. asserts
that it was written four centuries be-
fore Christ. 1t is engraved on lead
en- leaf, folded in two, and it bears on
the outside the following address: TO
the porter OF the market Mt Potts, to
be delivered either to Nausias Of to
Thrasicles or 10 their sons the text
OF the letter is as follows:
-AInesiengos sends his greetings F'to
those in the house and Uniforms them
that be is in good health. Please send
me blanket or some sheepskins, if
possible Of the ordinary kind, without
ornaments. AS soon as the occasion
offers shall return them"

MYSTERIOUS CAVERNS.
Subterranean Passages That
No One Can Explain.
FROM pEARsoN.s WEEKLY.

From one series Of these alone 1t Is
estimated that there were excayated
one thousand million tons of solid rock,
Near Aurangabad is a collection Of
splendid subterranean temples, with
single chambers, and halls measuring
270 feet deep by $50 feet wide. and
these extend for miles.
The roof is of living rock. supported
by hundreds of rock-hewn pillars, and
all around are chapels, chambers and
cells. 1t, in fact. constitutes. in its en-
tirety, a sort of gigantic subterranean
holy city" just such as would be
built nowadays above ground.
But of all artificial caves, the Cata-
combs at Rome have been the cause
of most wonderment and speculation.
1t is estimated that there are alto
gether about six hundred miles "a gel
leries. the greater portion OF which
is still unexplored.
Constructed for the most part be-
tween the beginning of the second

they began to be disued as such so
early as $50 A. D., and burial within
them entirely ceased with the sack of
the city by Alaric in 410 A. u.
Afterwards they came to constitute
place Of pilgrimage, but by degrees
people lost interest in them, and their
very existence was at last utterly for
gotten.
Then on May 81. 1918. some laborers
digging in the Campagana discovered
sepulchral chamber. This resulted
in further excavations, and these in
turn revealed to the amazed inhabit-
ants Of Rome "the existence" to quote
contemporary account, "of other cit
les concealed beneath their own"
OF course. the Roman catacombs. al
though the finest and most extensive,
are not the only ones Of their kind in
the world. Near Naples. for instance,
some very elaborate ones are to be
seen. with a subterranean church at

There are also others at Syracuse,
which are unique, in that they are sup
posed to have been of pagan origin; at
Malta. beneath the foundations Of the
ancient cafatal Of the island; at Taor-
nina. in Sicily; at Alexandria, and
elsewhere.
The so-called "Catacombs Of Paris, :
it may he mentioned. are also regard
ed by the best authorities as being
merely disused quarries. But at Pog
gio Gajella, near Chiusi. the ancient
Clusium, are some remarkable under
ground works Of vast extent, to which

Contrary to expectations 1t was found i'm
possible to bring the intercollegiate cham
pionship lawn tennis tournament at Phila-
delphia to a conclusion yesterday. The
match between Dewhurst and Prentice in
the semi-final round of singles was so long
drawn out that it was not thought fair to
make the Australian at once start in and
play Leroy for the championship. To the
surprise of all present Dewhurst was quite
outplayed by Prentice in the first SET which
the Harvard man won by to 4. Short
ly after the commencement Of the second
set Prentice tired rapidly, became careless
and Dewhurst won the last two sets and the
match quite easily.
The match in doubles between Sulloway
and Larned of Harvard and Behr and Bod

hardest fought contest that has been wit
Eessed in Philadelphia FOR years. The Yale
Sulloway and Larned quickly evened the
score The third and fourth sets were won
by each team in turn and 1T was left for
the championship to be decided by the fifth

FINE TRoTTING RACE.
Sweet Marie Won Pennsylvania Stakes
in Remarkable Time.

Sweet Marie established her claim as the
racing queen of the trotting turf Of 1904
when she outstripped Tiverton, in the clas-
sic Pennsylvania, at Lexington, yesterday,
and added that rich trophy to the five other
great stakes she has won this season, the
Roger Williams, at Providence; the Ponka-
poag. at Readville; the Long Island, At
Brighton Beach; the Knickerbocker, at En-
pire City, and the Electric City, at Buffalo.
Three of the heats beat all previous
Pennsylvania records away off, and in all
of the first three heats the previous race
record of the season was broken. Tiverton
had the foot of McKinney's daughter in the
first two heats, which he won in z:05A,
2:04h, but she got to him in the third,
which she stepped in 205, the worlds trot-
ting record for a third heat These three
heats a worlds record also, and the
five heats of the race, the last two being
in 2:0S1a. 200, Is another worlds record.
The fastest heat ever trotted before In the
Pennsylvania was by Prince of Orange, In
1902, he winning third heat In 2:071a The
only Pennsylvania record left unbroken was
the fourth heat, which was half a second
slower than OZanam scored in that heat IN
1902.
Sweet Marie was a slight favorite over
Tiverton at the outset, but after the first
heat the New York owned gelding BECAME
the choice. Tiverton in the early heats
seemed to have the speed over Sweet Marie
but the daughter of Mckinney outgamed
