ROME ELECTION POSTERS.
Parallel With the Finds in Ancient
Pompeii.

Special CableSram to The Star.
ROME. December 2S.-In the innumer-
able election posters which covered the
walls and the churches. the private
houses and the public buildings, prior to
the municipal elections here. the appeal
of the vast majority Of them was to some
political or socialistic or other associated
group of voters. One class of poster had,
however. a distinctive and unusual char
acter. In it certain individual men,
toned the position he holds in one of the
departments of labor In Rome and rec
commended all who knew him. or know
Of him. to vote for a certain candidate,
whose position and occupation he men
TONS This appears rather an innovation
In the mode Of appeal to electors. Per-
haps the thought that underlies 1t pre-
walls in elections in many countries, but
this public recommendation to vote as an
individual suggests is not specially con.
spicuous in our days.
In ancient days. however. this personal
call upon the electors to vote as an indi-
vidual desired Is by no means uncom-
mon. The stranger who visits ancient
Pompeii, destroyed A. d. 10. and who has
the time and patience to study the signs
of the life of the past which the walls
present. is likely to come across many
examples Of this sort of appeal to electors
from a conspicuous parsonage in favor OF
a certain individual. In fact the later
posters are far behind the earlier ones in
Observation-Disclosures and directness of ap-
peal to the voter.

dents of the antiquity of this most inter-

such perishable materials as the paper OF
today. The election appeal or cry was
painted, most frequently in that bright
red (minium) lettering which is so like
Pompeian red. Hence these posters
have endured down to our times. Paper
would never have passed through such a
crisis as a volcanic eruption.

TRIED TO LYNCH PRISONER.
Barbarous Act Of Drunken Crowd In
Cecil County, Md.

RISING sun, Md, December 2S.-James
Webster. an aged negro, was partially
lynched by frenzied and drunken mob at
Rowlandville, a village in this district,
Thursday night. Webster had driven to
the village to attend a number Of shooting
matches-local option prevails in this
county-and much liquor was brought into
the district during the day. The matches
proved to be a failure, the shooting fra
ternity being too much Intoxicated to use
the guns, the affair breaking up in much
disorder. The crowd fingered about the
village until after dark, their profanity
and boisterous conduct frightening the
women to such an extent that they were
afraid to leave their homes. The place is
without police protection or lights.
A number of the gang found James
Webster paralyzed with drink, lying In the
wagon of Samuel Webster, by whom he
was employed
Hang the nigger! cried one. and in
moment seventy-f1ve or a hundred men
had surrounded the wagon, yelling Hang

to throw the other end of the reins over

the mob. The line was too short, and an
attempt was made to force an entrance
into the village store to secure a rope,
but this was unsuccessful. Rope was OBJ
tanned from a nearby junk pile
Webster's body was then swinging high
in the air. BY this time the neighborhood
was aroused and many made their way to
the scene, but could obtain little informa-

the almost lifeless body of Webster was

VIBoRG MANIFESTANTS
Trial Of the Members Of the First
Duma.

ST. PETERSBURG. December 2s.-The
trial of the members of the first duma
who signed the Viborg manifesto was con-
tinued this morning. 1t has been expected
that today would see the conclusion of the
case, but owing to the decision of several
of the defendants to plead their own
cause the hearing will go over until Mon
day.
The former deputies are being tried on
charges of treason.
The final arguments will be brief and
formal. The prosecutor will limit himself
to summing up the illegal nature OF the
manifesto and the grave consequences
which might have ensued had the people
needed its appeal. The defense will make
its strong point on technicalities, holding
that the crime, If any, was committed out
side the country and that the government
has failed to establish the individual re-
sponsibility Of the defendants.
