ANCIENT LATIN TABLET
IS DISCOVERED AT BATH
Contains Inscriptions Which Scholar
Says Were Written in Fourth
Century

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Jan. 14.-Among the an
tiquities recently excavated at Bath
was a leaden tablet covered with Latin
characters, which no one could decipher
until Mr.. Nicholson, Bodleys librarian
at Oxford took it in hand. He declares
ii to be a fourth century Latin letter
written by Christian man at Verico-
mum, which is now probably Wroxeter.
to a Christian woman at Bath named
Negra.
The writer. having heard of the
faults of Negra's husband, imparts
much sound advice. One sentence is:
'Unless it just conflicts, avoid jeal-
ouses more abundantly."
Mr.. Nicholson thinks the tablet was
thrown into spring as a votive offer
ing to the spirits who were supposed
to raise the healing water.
A copper tablet, discovered also in
an enclosure about the principal spring,
was deciphered years ago as containing
curses on a girl who had stolen a
bathing towel.

CHRIST BORN BEFORE THE
FIRST YEAR OF OUR ERA
Such is the Conclusion Reached by
DR.. Fake, Noted Christian
ArcheoIogist
special Cable 10 The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
BERLIN, Jan. 14.-Dr. Fake, one
of the most erudite of Christian archie
ologists, has written an article in which
he minutely examines the evidence in
support of the contention that the
birth of Christ occurred in the first
year of our era. After balancing al,
that can be said for and against the
prevailing belief, he comes to the con
clusion that the Saviour was born
three or four years before the first
year of the present era. This opinion
is also shared by the famous professor
of church history DR.. Barnack, who
is inclined to date the nativity one yea-
further back still.
Examining the claims of December
% TO the nativity, DR.. Fake says there
is not a particle of evidence, either
biblical or traditional, in support Of
this theory. Everything goes to prove
that our existing festival of the ma
tiyity was introduced to replace the
heather festival of the "Sol Invictus"
in southern Italy, and of the yule or
winter festival among the ancient
Teutons. DR.. Fake finds the first men
tion of December 25 as the day of the
nativity of Christ in a ''calendarum"
of Pope Liberius, date A. d. 354.

ITALIAN POET PEMSIONED
Government Grants 10000 Lire to
Prof. Gosue Carducci

ROME, Jan. 15.-The government
has voted pension of 1900 lire TO
Giosue Carducci, the most famous lv-
ing Italian poet. After forty-five
years of service to the state as profess
sor of literature in the University Of
Bologpe, Carducci has been compelled
by failing health to seek retirement,
and the pension thus granted to him
by the Italian parliament is a token
of the high esteem in which he has
always been held by his country.
The lyric poet of Italy's struggle for
independence, Carducci is by far the
most prominent figure in the Italian
literature of the last half century.
His prose was no less admirable than
his poetry, and his ''Storia Filosofica
del la Letteratura Italiana has earned
him leading place among the critics
of the world.

MONTE CARLO. Jan. 15.--Conster-

failed.
A young italian who had gambled

offered him four pounds, which he dis
dained. He then seated himself IN

then threw up his arms and fell back

No wound was visible, but some one

Italians arm. Then the mystery was
cleared up. He had carefully shot
himself skin deep in the forearm with
revolver of the smallest calibre, and
the bullet was found in his sleeve. The
arm was bandaged and the crestfallen

The social effects which transform
people are one of the first consequences
of the sanctification of souls. Every
thing else is but sterile agitation,
which does not go beyond the surface
and fails to reach the heart, in which
is the root of all disorder and source
of all regeneration. In order to weed
out this root and to cause this source
to flow what we need is rather salntly

DUBLIN, Jan. 14.-Michael DaYitt
was the principal speaker at a public
meeting on the subject of the distress
in Connemara which was held this
Alpine presided, and in the course Of
his speech said that the people of Con-
nemara did not ask for aims, but for
work. If, said he, in crisis like the
present the state should fail to dis
charge the first duty it owed to the
community, namely, to preserve and
support life, their people would be the
veriest fools if they allowed themselves
to starye SO long as fat sheep wern
grazing on the hillsides or sleek kline
browsing on the plain.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that the steps taken by the govern
ment for the relief of distress were
grossly inadequate, and calling upon
the executive to provide employment
under the marine works acts.
Mr.. Davitt, who was received with
cheers, said that the existence of dis
tress and the nature of it's direct
cause was admitted by the government.
They asked that a share only of their
own taxes should be spent on useful
and productive employment in the dis
tressed localities. If the land act Of
last year had provided for an equitable
sett lement of the western problem the
paramount remedy for the recurring
distress would now be in beneficent
operation. He hoped that certain
emotional friends would pardon him
for saying that the present state of the
west was sad commentary on the
boundless laudation which had greet
ed the wonder working land confer
ence. Possibly this recurrence of dis
tress would arouse the country to a
sense of the deadly danger involved in
bargains with the thousands of ten
ants of poor lands to a high annual
for a generation and half.
The present proposals of the local gov
ernment board were no better than an
offer to feed dog with it's own tail,
He advised the people to insist on re-
relief out of Irish resources and
out of their own taxes.

P0ST-PRANDIAL SPEECHES
PRINTED ON MENU
Innovation Sprung at Banquet to the
Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress
of London
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald
LONDON, Jan. IA daring inno-
walton in a time honored procedure of
city banquets was introduced this week
by Karl Hentachel, who, as president
of the Bartholomew club, entertained
the lord mayor, lady mayoress, the
sheriffs and their wives and a large
company at the forty-ninth annual din
ner of the club Instead of the 'linked
sweetness, long drawn out" and the
alleged humor of civic post-prandial
oratory, the speeches were all printed
with the menu, and were as a note to
the toast list explained, taken as read.
AS the president pointed out in the
explanation prefixed to the booklet:
Even if it were never attempted again,
it will remain an interesting attempt
to relieve the length and soidity which
characterizes many city dinners. OF
course, to those gentlemen gifted with
the usual accomplishment of always
making brilliant speeches. or those who
dearly love the sound of their own
voice, this innovation perhaps will not
appeal in the same manner as it might
to the unfortunate individual who
spends hours in preparing his speech
only to forget the same when he comes
to deliver it, And he might have
added, to the equally unfortunate in
dividual who, having dined, is for very
shame compelled to evince appreciation
of sentiments he has heard better ex-
pressed many times before. Nor need
the budding or full-blown orator feel
disappointed, for seldom have the most
sonorous periods, the most delicate wit,
evoked more hearty applause than, for
instance Alderman and Sheriff Vezey
Strongs reply:
my lord mayor. my lady mayoress,
my lords and gentlemen, for my reply

With the speech a portrait of the
speaker was reproduced in souvenir
booklet; indeed, nothing was wanted
to leave the most vivid impression of
most enjoyable evening.

SURGEON SAYS VICTIMS ARE
TORTURED
London Physician investigates Meth
ods Of Or. Barker and Re-
ports on = Number Of
Cases

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Jan. 14-"Dr. l.. A. Bar
ker appears to be man with an hon
est conviction that he possesses ex-
traordinary ability" writes a Westend
surgeon who visited the bone-setters'
rooms in Bond street this week, with
the desire of expressing an impartial
opinion upon his powers and methods.
"A description Of the cases was
allowed to see will be good criterion
Of his merits as an operator.
"The first case was Mr.. Chapman
of the Sheffield Football club, who, IN
the words of DR.. Barker. came in
with a stick and serious limp. His
case was diagnosed by the operator as
"a displacement Of the ankle bone Of
some weeks standing. After some
manipulation, involving forcible move
ments of the ankle joint, the patient
was assured that the bone was re-
placed, and that the joint being re-
stored, he could safely take part in
the match between Sheffield and Sun
derland three days later.
ut does not require a surgeon to
compute that for a man to limp in
with stick with a displaced ankle
bone of weeks standing, to have that
bone replaced in five minutes without
chloroform and to be able to take part
in a league football match within four
days either means that the age OF
miracles has recurred or that Mr..
Chapman only possessed a stiff ankle
after a sprain, which could have been
restored equally well by any OF his
friends possessing the necessary en-
terprise.'
"The next case was that OF little
boy with a well-marked curvature of
the spine, the result Of tuberculosis.
This was pronounced hopeless by the
operator and dismissed.
HE was followed by little girl of
the same age with an identical curv-
ature from the same cause" continues
the surgeon. Her parents were or
dered to bring her back after bathing
her back and rubbing her with heats
foot oil, it being confidently stated
that she could be improved. My
opinion is that in ten years time both
cases will still be cases of spinal curv-
ature.
"A. G. Lee had his knee restored
according to DR.. Barker, without
chloroform, by replacing a displaced
cartilage and breaking-down ad-
hesions of three years standing. Yet
young woman with elbows similarly
affected was refused treatment and
recommended to apply to DR.. -.
"A young man of IS, the victim of
chronic hydrocephalus or water ON the
brain, showing the usual paralytic
symptoms, was diagnosed by DIR.
Barker as a case of hysterical paraly-
sis, with a clot of blood on the brain
This is a contradiction in terms. He
also was sent away empty handed"
The surgeon concludes by speaking
of the cruelty of bone-setting as it is
carried on at the moment. The parents
of children are totally ignorant of
what is going on; they are mostly poor
people. Children are tortured in a
manner which would not be allowed in
any hospital. All operations are per-
formed without an anaesthetic.
