Wise Men of Gotham.

A "wise man Of Gotham" Is a fool,
but the phrase arose through the real
wisdom Of the people that lived In the
English town Of Gotham. The story
goes that King John of England once
visited the town with the intention of
seeing castle that he thought Of TAX
Ing for himself. But the Gothamites
did not care for the nearness Of roy
atty and the expense they would be
put to If the king should have house
there. and so they cooked up a scheme
to drive him away. When the king ar
rived with his company of followers
and rode through the town he saw all
the inhabitants Of Gotham going
through the most foolish Of tasks, each
person With a silly smile on his face.
The king was disgusted with them.
He would not live among crazy people,
and 80 he rode on through the town
and did not stop for the castle. Then
the Wise men Of Gotham. still smiling,
but not in silly fashion. told one an
other that there were more fools that
passed through Gotham than remain

Christians In Old Rome.

Religious persecution as such was
unknown under the Romans. The
Christians were regarded as seditious.
In denying the divinity Of the Gaze
sars and the Roman gods they were
guilty Of high treason in Roman eyes
and were accordingly punished. But
their punishment had no religious sig
nificance whatever. The Christians
were prosecuted not because they were
Christians. but because, in the opinion
Of the authorities. they were disturb
ers of the peace and safety Of the
state. Religious persecution was a
thought that never entered the Roman
mind.-New York American.

In wounds Of the heart itself the es-

due to the fact that the escape Of
blood from within its cavity or cavities

which its pumping action is maintain

wound Of the heart are usually identi-
cal with those Of gradual suffocation.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The senate
without a dissenting vote today adopt
ed a joint resolution introduced by
Senator Jones providing for an inves-
tigation of the Ballinger-Pinchat con-
troversy. The senate measure was
passed as "A substitute for the house

ject and passed last Friday. An
amendment was adopted providing
that the house members of the inves-
tigating committee shall be elected by
the house, which is in accordance with
the house vote on the question last
Friday.
Much to the surprise of many of
the senator's. Mr.. Nelson reported
without delay the house resolution.
The measure reported by the. senate
public lands committee as amended to-
day. was Offered as a substitute. He
obtained immediate consideration.
Senator Newlands offered an amend
ment providing that "any official or
eS-nfficial" whose conduct might be
involved in the situation must appear
before the house committee or sub
committee either by person or by coun-
sell"
This amendment was promptly op-
posed by Senator Nelson, who said
such course was unusual and was
merely a reflection on the committee.
The amendment received only the vote
of Mr.. Newlands and his demand for
division was not seconded by the
requisite number.
