Thursday morning of last week at
about three o'cl, ck Munich experienced
its first fire. DR.. Brooks awoke at that
hour to find his home on fire His pet
dogs, Tiny and Floss, we're in the house
and awoke him, otherwise the doctor
might have lost his life. AS it was he
had barely time to escape and only sue
ceeded in saving few clothes, every
thing else being destroyed, including a
fine piano his library, instruments, furni-
ture and household goods. The fire is
thought to have onglnated through
stove pipe becoming overheated and
setting fire to the woodwork. The prop
erty occupied by DR.. Brooks is owned
by Mr. Abraham Harder of Butterfeld,
MINI. Both suffer total loss not hav-
ing any insurance. Mrs DR.. Brooks is
is away spending the winter visiting
with her mother in the east.

A Rock Hill Contemporary
on the Jones House Party
in Lancaster.

Rock Hill Herald: Last We'd
nesday morning the doors of the
home Of Judge and Mrs. Ira b.
Jones were thrown wide open to
a house party given in honor of
their charming and accomplish
ed daughters, Misses Mayme and
Bess Jones, and since that time
the happy guests have enjoyed
every moment of their stay. To
,nter this home is happiness
itself and the thought of leaving,
separating from such a Jolly and
congenia gathering, causes a
sigh of regret.
There is no home in this sec
ton better fitted for such an oc
casion, for within the walls of This
mansion the eye falls upon beauty
every where. The place is sur
rounded by a beautiful water OAK
grove and as the cool breezes
blow through the boughs of the
trees and as the merry couples
come to and from the lovely lane
leading to the home, troubles and
worries are soon forgotten aud
lite seems to be one sweet
song.
Besides the pleasures. that are
to be found at "home" the crowd
has been highly entertained by
the kind citizens of Lancaster.
Every day as we'll as night has
been one round of pleasure. The
party will close Wednenday even.

Correspondence of the Lancaster
News.
Geneva, Switzerland, July 2,
1907.
Mr.. Editor: In my last letter
/ stated that we were leaving
Palermo for Naples. We took a
boat from the former place at 7.30
reaching Naples the next morn
ing. leaving Mr.. Bennett at Pal
ermo to return along the north
side of the Island of Stella to
Messina, and then to investigate
conditions in Calabria and Basi-
licia. On our arrival at Naples
we gathered our baggage to-
gether and proceeded to Rome,
where an audience had been ar
ranged with the King and with
the Minister of agriculture and
commerce.
Our reception by the King was
very pleasant. He spoke Eng
lish fuently, and we found him
we'll posted with regard to con-
ditions in the United States. He
had considerable knowledge OF
the climatic conditions, as well
as of the crops grown in the diff
ferent sections of our country.
and deplored the fact that most
OF the Italian immigrants 10 the
United States are settling in the
cities instead of going to the ru-
raj districts and engaging in ag-
ricultural pursuits with which
they are familiar. He referred
to the fact that the criminal
classes in Italy predominate in
the cities, asin the United States,
adding that the peasants made
better citizens for us than those
who come from the cities.
The disposition of the king l
found to be that of plain, un-
assuming man. 1t was easy to
see that he was averse to pomp
and glamor and the usual trap
pings Of royalty, and in his con-
yersation with us he evince6 a
deep interest in the welfare Of
the common people. 1t is GUS
tomary, when approaching the
king during an audience TO make
three bows, one on entering the
door, and the other two while
drawing near him, but in our
case Immediately after we had
MADE our DOW on entering lne
door he came forward and shook
hands. The conversation went
along in an easy and informal
manner for about an hour, touch
ing upon the comparative condi-
ton of the peasants Of this coun-
try and our farming classes, as
well as the products of the farm +,
the amount of land cultivated
and the remuneration of the
laborlng man.
After our audience with the
king we visited the minister of
agriculture and commerce, and it
was necessary to have the services
of an interpreter, as he knew no
English. We found him thor
oughly posted on agricultural
matters and he agreed to furnish

1T was eight to ten years ago ana
that the people here are sharing
somewhat in the prosperous con-
dition that prevails in the United
States.
While in Rome we could not
fail to observe on every hand the
ruins of the ancient city. There
was abundant evidence of its
early richness and greatness--of
the times when Rome was mis-
tress of the world-'he magnifi
cent Colliceum, the palaces of the
old emperors, the Forum, and
the famous Apian Way, the mill
itary road built by the Romans
more than two thousand years
ago. This road was once lined
with beautiful palaces and villas
and tombs all the way from Rome
to Naples, but now there is moth
ing but ruins all along the road.
This road, by the way, has been
constantly in use for upwards of
1900 years and is in fine condi-
ton to day, showing in spots the
old Roman method Of paving,
and the country adjoining the
road is now used only for farms
and pasture lands.
While at Rome the Commission
held a meeting and decided to
divide the territory, giving to
Messrs. Bennett and Howell
Greece, Turkey, Smyrna, Asia
Minor, South western Russia, and
the country thereabouts; 10 Mr..
Burnett and myself, Northern
Italy, France, Switzerland, Ger
many, part of Russia, working
back along the Northern Euro
pean Coast TO Great Britain; and
to Messrs. Dillingham; and
Wheeler, Austria, Hungary, part
of Russia, and other territory in
that region.
Leaving Rome we went to
Florence and saw Consul Quay,
a brother of the late Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania. In the
interview with him we found
that very few emigrants had gone
to the United States from this
section of Italy. He stated that
the principal industries are the
weaving of straw for hats, bas
kets, etc, and high -class Mosaic
work. In addition to this another
important industry is that OF
marble works of art. The people
are peaceable and industrious
and as a consequence are pros
porous.
Leaving Florence we went to
Venice, but there was little for
us to do there, and af er spend
ing a day and night we proceed
ed to Milan. Milan is the prin-
cipal city in the northern part of
Italy, situated in the center of a
rich agricultural and manufac-
turing section. We spent nearly
three days at Milan, investigat-
ing manufacturing and agricul-
tural conditions, and the WORK
was very interesting all the way
through. | will write another
letter in few days covering the
result OF our investigation into

U,NBURiYING A CITY.

Herculaneum, the rich and splendid city that was buried along with Pom peii and Stabiae, by the eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 79, is to be dug from the mass of tufa which covered 1t, and it's buildings are to be disclosed to view,
 Professor Waldstein, of Cambridge university, has induced the Italian government to consent to the work on condition that it be officially directed by Italians, and that the assistance of foreigners, financially and otherwise, shall be unofficial
 Should the enterprise be carried out, we shall soon have much light thrown on the manner of life of the Romans ot the first century. Herculaneum far more than Pompeii, was the residence of wealthy and cultivated citizens Their houses were filled with artistic objects and their libraries contained the best literature of the period. In a partial evacuation nearly two thousand manuscript rolls were found in one house.
 Pompeii was covered with small stones and soft ashes from the volca- no, Herculaneum was buried beneath torrent of mud to the depth of from thirty to a hundred and twenty feet On top of it two large modern villages have been built. Plans now making provide for tearing down these villages so far as necessary, to get at the city beneath.
 In the comparatively near future we may expect to hear reports of the un- covering of fine bronze and marble statuary, of beautiful mansions, of li-

of the Jews, in view of the forthcoming introduction of universal suffrage. An executive committee was appointed forthwith. Commenting upon this &C., tion a Vienna correspondent of Lon don journal writes: This laudable ex- ample might with advantage be imitat- ed by the Jews in other parts of Aus tria. In this country the Jew will nev- CT be respected until he ceases to be ashamed of his race, and seeks to ex- ercise his political influence in the light of day. Hitherto the Jews of Austria have preferred to masquerade as mem bers of other races, preferably as Ger mans, and to exercise political influ- ence by methods that have rendered the growth of Anti-Semitism compre- hensible, if not justiiable. The Cali clan Jews are warmly to be congratu- lated upon setting a good example to their fellow Senites elsewhere.

A MASTERPIECE OF BYZANTINE
 


 The plan of Santa Sophia is approxi- mately a square of two hundred and fifty feet by two hundred and twenty five. of which the central portion, one hundred and six feet by two hundred, is open from the floor to the roof. The noble sense of spaciousness, which is the prevailing impression here present, is, however, attained not merely by the amplitude of the proportions, but by the rhythmical sequence and evolu- tion of the great unfolding curves of the vaulting. These rise in degrees of |sma!l supporting domes, semi-domes land segments of domes, until they cul- minate in the deep bosomed" central dome, as Procopius calls it, of one hum dred and seven feet span, which sweeps with incomparable boldness and freedom across the central area of the building. All who have ever visi- ted the church have been struck with the majesty and harmony of these mounting curves and have echoed Pro- copius' own account of their appear ance. From the lightness of the building the dome does not appear to rest upon solid foundation, but to cover the place beneath as though il were suspended from heaven by the fabled golden chain" And he adds,

ONE TIGHT OF 4 soIprrR.

A soldier in the United States army has his rights, and they are pretty well defined. One of them has just been established, pr re-established. Major E. F. Glenn, Fifth infantry, in command of the recruiting depot at Co., lumbus barracks, Ohio, has been in- formed by the Secretary of War that he made mistake when he ordered Sergeant Charles Lynch, a non-com- missioned officer of the army, on duty at that post, to attend divine worship. This is the case involving the assign nent of Lynch to jury duty in charge of certain enlisted men of the Roman Catholic faith, to which church Lynch belonged. It was intended that these men should attend the esrvices held by a visiting priest, and the notice of the event took tho ofrm of an order, pro- bably without much thought on the part of it's author as to his legal right to issue such instructions. Lynch baked at the church door and refused to attend the service, raising the point l that he could not be ordered to take part in a religious service. Of course, he was right, so far as that position was concerned, but he also proved dis obedient, and in the interest of disci- pline it was necessary to do something | by way of demonstration and example. This phase of the situation, which l threatened at one time to be embar- rassing. has been met by issuing an order that Sergeant Lynch shall be transferred from Columbus barracks to another post. At the same time word has been sent out by the War depart ment emphasizing the fact that post commanders have no authority to order enlisted men to religious services but, of course it remains fact that any officer or soldier may be ordered into church and to stay there during the service for any purpose, SD long as 1t is not with the ieea of compelling him to worship when he does not want | tes
 So all is right as right can be, and

Why not have the Governor appoint ed, as well as the county commission CTS and judges of city and borough courts? We suppose it would need a constitutional amendment, but that's nothing between friends, or between those who are friendly to the State. If appointments the thing why not have it complete? Who would appoint the Governor, do you ask? He could be appointed by commission compos- ed of fit folks. IA commission compos- ed of one county commissioner from each county might do. A commission | composed of one man from New Ha- ven and one from Hartford might do, though it might not be extremely popular A commission composed of one man who had shown himself able to appoint a Governor might work
 Perhaps the President of the United States could be asked to do the ap- pointing.
 And so forth and so on. This sug- gestion isn't anywhere near as revolu- tionary as some timid ones may al first think 1t. We notice that already some gentlemen have unofflcially got together and appointed the next Gov ernor. It is rumored that the present Governor was similarly appointed many moons ago. So perhaps there is no need of being afraid of shadows.
