In the southwest corner OF the compound was
still another cluster OF rooms lying directly be-
low the~oid stage road from Casa Grande u
Florence. which for years has crossed the buried
Enclosure. without any suspicion OF what lay
beneath on the part of the travellers who piled

prove to be one OF the biggest Indian Jars ever
found in America. II is about as large as

used by these people a drinking water cistern.
-Four human skeletons were found in the
floors of this latter group. They were in an ex-
tended position and across the breast of one lay
a murderous looking dagger OF deer bone.
II repaired the old main building-Casa
Grande proper. This contains eleven rooms al
together, the middle portion being three and the
side portions two stories high II is sixty feet
long by forty-two feet wide. and the highest
pinnacle is twenty-five feet above ground. The
foundation walls four feet thick and extend
down seven feet, the space between them being
filed in solidly with adobe. A frame roof was
placed on the structure some years ago by act
of Congress.

Beyond the row OF kivaS and at the northwest

fragments of blue. green and black paint and

We next dug eastward along the north wall
and found several other rooms there. At the
junction of these and the of kivaS there
had been erosion in the walls and the floors had
been moved about three feet at various times.
In these rooms were several ancient planting

DISAPPOINTED ONES.

All princes are not endowed with so much
philosophy. But then, too all sceptres do not
constitute such heavy burdens as that Of En-
peror Nicholas. And Prince Napoleon (Jerome)
uncle Of the present Attorney General of the
United States is on record as having made no
effort TO conceal his cruel disappointment when
the birth Of the III fated Prince Imperial in 1857
at Paris robbed him Of the rank of heir ap-
parent 10 the throne Of France, which he had
enjoyed as long as the marriage Of his cousin
Napoleon III and Empress Eugene had re-
manned without issue. Firmly convinced that
their union would be childless, he had grown
accustomed 10 regard himself as destined to in
herit the crown, and had already mapped out
the policy which he intended to pursue when in
vested with the reins Of power. The birth of
the Prince Imperial meant to him the destruc-
ton Of the hopes. the plans and the ambitions
Of lifetime, and so strong were his feelings on
the subject that he found il quite impossible TO
conceal his intense chagrin. Few persons are
aware Of the fact that at the time of the acces-
sion of Queen Victoria, in 1881. this same
Prince Napoleon stood fifth in the line of sue
cession TO the throne of England through his
mother. Princess Caroline of Wurtemberg, who

Annual Library Meeting.

The annual meeting of the trustees
of the Brattleboro Free library was
held in the library Monday evening.
The reports of the librarian, secretary
and treasurer showed that the past
year had witnessed healthy growth
in the circulation and facilities of the
library and that a satisfactory condi-
ton exists in the treasury. The most
pressing need of the library at present
is more room for additional books. 1t
having been decided by the trustees of
the George W. Brooks fund that no
money is at present available for in
creasing the size of the building, it is
hoped that arrangements may be made
for placing the Phelps library of some
1000 volumes in a room in the tower
which can be prepared for that pur
pose, thus making space for additional
books sufficient for two or three years,
