What DID the Romans smokes

At depth Of nine feet underground
at the old Roman fort Of Also, near
Haltern, the surface of which was
proved to have remained undisturbed
since the Roman occupation, ffty-four
fragments of various clay pipes were
found. Their shape was almost uni
form, and they could be divided into
three groups, one Of which was char
acterized by clumsy and very rough
workmanship. The other groups were
of much finer make and decorated with
figures and Roman characters. From
marks found on all of them it was evil
dent that they had been used for
smoking.-London Standard.

THE BIRDS SONG.

Organ In the Syrinx.

organ In the Syrfnx.
Birds have no vocal chords in the
larynx, but they possess unique voice
organ in the syrinx, which is provided
with what are really vocal chords Of a
very effective and complicated kind.
This syrinx lies in the lower part of
the windpipe and the upper part of the
branching bronchi, but varies much in
its exact position and details of struc-
ture in different birds.
Briefly it consists of a varying num-
Der Of muscles, as many as from five
to seven being found in the best song
sters, attached to folds of membrane
and the bony half rings, which at this
part of the throat form a sort Of en-
larged Adams apple.
Distinctness of the several muscles
and the mode of their insertion indi-
cate a birds musical capability. The
syrinx of the skylark and nightingale,
for instance, is a marvel of adjusted
muscle and membrane, while, on the
other hand, the ostrich and some vul-
lures have no voice organ, the pigeon
has but little to show, and the common
fowl has no muscles to modulate its
cry.

HIT ON THE HEAD.
p. L. Rush Badly Hurt and
Robbed.

P. L. Rush, who keeps a grocery store
at 1405 Kansas avenue, was knocked
down, seriously injured and robbed of
about $40 last night at $50 O'Clock by an
unknown thug
Mr.. Rush had closed his door and was
locking the side door on the SOUTH pre-
paratory to going to his residence, across
vacant lot from the store and only a
few yards away. He was just fitting the
key to the lock of the door, presumably,
when the robber struck him a terrific blow
on the left side of the head. Mr.. Rush
had n sack of silver money, about $50. in
his hand, and his account book under
his arm In his hip pocket was a pocket
book containing bills amounting to about
$40 and 4 3S-calibre revolver. AS he fell
it is evident that he fell on the sack Of
silver money, which the robber overlook
ed. The revolver and pocketbOOk con-
tanning the bills were taken and the rob-
Der escaped.
Mr. Rush was unconscious from the
blow and lay on the ground for some
when he dragged himself to his home.
He again lapsed into inconsistencies and
is still in a comatOse state, being unable
to speak. A doctor was called to attend
the injured man and the police were no
titled Officers who visited the scene of
the assault and robbery found an elm
club about three feet long and two inches
in diameter, with which the assault was
made. The snow on the walk by the
door was covered with blood and the
door key which Mr.. Rush had dropped,
was found inside the screen.
The rObber evidently lay in wait for
his victim behind pair of scales, which
stood a few feet from the side door. The
police have clue to the ideTtity of the
robber, IS Mr.. Rush has beerI unable to
talk about the affair, and the chances
are that he did not see his assailant at

United States Judge Pollock this

aside. Slonecker was appointed mus
ter by Judge Hook two years ago.
He fled his report about the time
that Judge Hook was promoted to the
circuit court. It came under the no
tice of Judge Pollock recently, and
was a recommendation for L. NJ.
Crawford's discharge. Judge Pollock
listened to a small share of the evil
dence, and then in sharp statement
denied the application, ordered the
report of Mr.. Slonecker set aside and
announced that he would appoint
new master Mr.. Getty's selection fol-
lowed this morning.
Even short perusal Of the evidence
incites wonder why the discharge was
recommended and shows cause in album
dance for Judge Pollock's action. In
congruities ana Inconsistencies appear in
the vital instances, namely, the owner
ship of the Crawford theater in Topeka
and the St. Joseph. Mo, opera house,
until it is almost impossible to deter
mine what the true conditions are.
This is the very matter that Judge
Pollock wants threshed out, and for
that reason he has appointed a new
master to take evidence and submit o
report. In speaking of the matter. he
said this morning: There are some
questions I want asked which were
not asked. am not satisfied with the
evidence that was taken. A new in
vestisation and report is asked for 8"
The creditors Of Mr.. Crawford believe
him to be worth at least half a million
dollars. But he has a great many debts.
Should it be proven that he has money.
it naturally belongs to the creditors.
They are after it hard For that reason
they fought the report Of Judge Sion
ecker as master.
They claim that Mr. Crawford owns the
St Joseph opera house entirely without
a cent Of incumbrance and the Crawford
theater in Topeka, with about SIS. 900
debt upon it. Further than that they
claim that Mr.. Crawford owns some val
liable private dwelling houses in Topeka
To all this Mr.. Crawford has entered de
NAL upon the witness nd before a
master. The creditors, however, declare
that they will wrest some Of this property
from Mr.. Crawford for the money which
he owes them

Washington, April 9.-In the house to-
day Mr.. Bourke Cochran IN. " spoke
on his resolution directing an inquiry by
the judiciary committee as to whether
there was authority in the law for the
recent executive order relating to pen
sions for age disability. The committee
on rules reported an order directing the
resolution to lie on the table. Mr. Cock
rams remarks were the first he has de-
liVered since his entry into the Fifty
elghth congress as the successor to
George B. Mcclellan. When he began
speaking he was warmly appIauded and
ne at once commanded the closest atten-
ton or members of both sides of the
house. He said the resolution was Of
tered solely to vindicate the dignity of
the house. He did not. he said, question
the propriety OF paying liberal pensions
to federal soldiers, but he declared that
the basis of these payments should be

Washington. April 9.-In the senate to-
day the postofffce appropriation bill was
again taken up and Mr.. Lodge made a
statement covering the facts relating to
canceling machines used in the postoffice
department
Referring to Mr.. Bristow's report, Mr.
Lodge said 1t might be Inferred from it
that a large part of the fund for ma
chimes had been corruptly used but this
wa snot true as the expenditure was for
additional machines.
Mr.. Lodge then yielded to Mr.. Patter-
son to make an addition to his speech of
yesterday on the Chinese exclusion act.
He made especial reply to the contention
of other senators that treaty with China
of 1884 had had the effect of repeating the
treaties of 1868 and 1880 and laid down
the general proposition that no treaty en-
tered into for mere temporary purposes
could be held to abrogate permanent
treaties. He again declared that unless
there was new legislation we would be

Consideration Of the postoffice bill was
then resumed and Mr.. Spooner addressed

the paying side of railroading is from the
