Secretary Tafts ambition is to be the

certain occasion President Mckinley and
Secretary of State Day were travelling to-

Judge Taft was called to Washington
and met President Mckinley and Mr.. Root,
then Secretary Of War, in the Presidents
private Office. Mr.. Root was the spokes-
man. He knew there was soon to be a
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench,
which Taft would be only too glad to take.
Root approached him in this way:

Philippines. We know Of your ambition to
go on the Supreme Court bench. You are
therefore confronted with two propositions
An easy one and a hard one. You could

may never again come to you. 1t is a hard
proposition. Judge Taft. What is your
choice?'

Herculaneum Exploration.

From the London Tribune.
In view Of the forthcoming excava-
tions at Herculaneum, rendered possible
by the assent of Italy to Prof. VALID
STEMS proposals for international CO.
operation in the work, IL is interesting 10
recall the fact that the first traces Of
the ancient city were revealed in 1854
to a baker as he was engaged in sinking
a well. The site passed, in 1713, into the
hands of the Prince o'Elboeuf, who built
himself a mansion, using much of the
ancient material which lay at hand n
it's construction. Certain statues of great
beauty he dispatched to Vienna. These
are now in Dresden. In 1885 the Ne
apolitan government under Carlo III, pa.
a stop to this dispersion of treasure, and
continued the work OF excavation under
authoritative direction. discovering tEo
valuable papyri and bronzes which are
now one Of the chief attractions Of the
Naples Museum. In 1859 work was re-
sumed but came to a standstill owing to
the danger occasioned to certain houses
in Resina, the modern town which occu-
pies part of the site of Herculaneum.
Future excavations will be unInIreded
by considerations of this kind AZ suili-
cient funds be forthcoming to buy existing
property. The belief is expressed that tho
finds" In Herculaneum will surpass In
interest those of Pompeii, which was mere
ly commercial city, whereas Hercuaneum
was the resort and residence Of the rich
and dilettani of all kinds.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, January 10, 1907.
" HERE is material for side splitting
farce comedy in a case which has
just resulted in a husband and wife
being incarcerated in a lunatic asylum.
For them, to be sure, 1t Is no laughing
matter, but as their stay among the In
sane is likely to be Of short duration, an
unfeeling world meanwhile is entitled to
get all the amusement possible out of their
predicament.
The couple in question, NJ and Nine.
Sapin, lived in a comfortable fiat in the
Rue BelIeford. In the course of their ten
years of married life each had grown some
what tired of the others society and
yearned to be freed from the shackles of
domestic partnership Each set to work,
unknown to the other, to obtain this re-
lief.
It occurred to M. Sapin that the best
way Of Kidding himself of his spouse was
to get her clapped into lunatic asylum.
With this end in view he feigned extreme
solicitude for his wife's health. A slight
attack of influenza afforded him pretext
for summoning a specialist to examine
her. The doctor whose services he requisi-
toned was an expert on insanity This,
of course, Nine. Sapin did not know. NJ.
Sapin told the alienist of various queer
things he had observed in his wife's be-
examined her he came to the conclusion
that she was mon compos mentis,' and
furnished the husband with a certificate
declaring that she was a fit subject for
removal to an asylum.
X
Now after much cogitation. by a strange
coincidence, Nine. Sapin had hit upon the
same method of Kidding herself of her
husbands company. In carrying out her
scheme she showed quite as much discre-
ton as her husband had displayed In put
ting his plot for her seQuestration into
effect. Consequently NJ Sapin had no sus-
picion that the physician who. at her sug
gestion had been called In to attend him
for Indigestion was also an insanity ex-
pert. The result was the same and Nine.
Sapin duly received certificate setting
forth that her husband was mentally de-
ranged and should be placed under con-
troll.
Then followed Q curious comedy. each

real but not ostensible destination Fin
ally there came a SHOW down." with the
result that they found themselves both
caught in the trap which each had laid
for the other Each was more than will
ing then to cry quits and let the matter
drop. But the responsible authorities be-
fore whom the matter came could give
no heed to the volube protests poured
forth by husband and wife that each had
been in error in supposihg the other to be
demented. The testimony which had mis-
led the specialists could not be retracted
in that way. The officials could only act
in accordance with the properly attested
certificate and, therefore, both NJ. and
Mime. Sapin were transferred to an institH-
ton for the insane.

Mr. Cheney has worked in Omaha for

Of his accomplishments His work last
night was a genuine surprise. Mr.. Cheney
has a rich baritone voice of wide range;
he uses it with much intelligence and grace.
His songs showed careful and consci-
entious study. Especially enjoyable were
the two French songs. The German num-
bcrs were given with fine color and dra-
matte effect
The most important work Of the evening
was the Song Cycle, by IAza Lehman.

is perhaps the most tuneful part of the
cycle.
The close Of "In Memoriam" is impress
sive and solemn. Mr. Cheney omitted the
Epilogue, which was rather a pity, as 1t
is very beautiful. However, its uso is
wholly optional.
Nine. Borglum was very happy in her
Accomplishments. Her solo work in the
cycle was scholarly, poetic and dramatic,
as the music demanded.

Are Doing well.

The republicans buried their democratic
friends in South Omaha Tuesday. The
occasion was the election of two members
of the Board of Education The repub-
lican majority, according TO the unofficial
returns, was Sss out Of an estimated vote
of $3.50. The two republican candidates
ran about even, Carter securing 1,7i4 and
Knight 1871. Corrigan was low man with
1908 votes. Lennahan's vote was 1,455.
The big precincts for the republicans
were the First OF the First ward the Sec
ond of the First ward. the First Of the
Third and the First Of the Sixth ward.
The democrats were strong in the Second
precinct OF the Third ward, the Second Of
the Fourth and the Second OF the Fifth
ward
The feature of the day was the great
activity Of the women. A larger percentage
OF women voted than at any previous cleo
ton. II il estimated that fully one-third
OF the total vote was by women. Otherwise
there were no unusual features attending
the election.
The returns were all in at 1880 and a
large crowd of men gathered at the ONCE
of the city clerk to secure the first news.
The telephones were kept busy all the
evening 1T the newspaper Offices
The result was due in a measure to local
conditions and especially to the disapproval
of one Of the democratic candidates by his
own party.
