Ancient Rome's Libraries.

The Libraries of ancient Rome were
immense and splendid. Lucullus,
whose name is associated with table
%luxuries, expended much of his wealth
on books. His library, says Plutarch,
had walks. galleries and cabinets
open to all visitors" Julius Caesar
proposed to open this library definitely
to the public.
How were these vast Libraries, in
addition to the book shops, filed?
With his trained staff Of readers and
transcribers. a publisher could turn
out an edition of any work at very
cheap rates. and almost at a moments
notice. There was no initial expense
Of typesetting before a single copy
could be produced. no ruinous extras
in the shape Of printers corrections.
The manuscript came from the au-
thor: the publisher handed it over to
his slaves. and if a book Of modest
dimensions. the complete edition could
be ready. If necessary. within twenty
four hours. Actually. then. books
We're produced and sold more easily
and quickly in ancient Rome than they
are In modern London.-T. P.'s London

Tho "lliad" Not a Myth,

The fall of Troy after a ten year
siege by the Grecian princes about 1884
B. c. has long been considered as a
rather mythical foundation for Homer's
immortal epic. the 'Iliad." But in 1876
the excavations Of Schliemann on the
reputed site Of Troy brought to light
under the ashes Of two superintendent
fortress cities the remains answering
to the descriptions of Homer and n

Dickens Literary Gains.

The papers have often printed a
great deal of pure nonsense on the
subject of Dickens literary gains.
Dickens is stated to have died ieav-
ing earnings that often accrue TO Il

Dish. Dickens left f93. 1910 in round
figures. and this did not include Il con
siderable sum of money that he had
settled SOME years before his death.
His readings 1S5S-G9, had brought in
about 100000. 1t is forgotten that
Dickens began life without one penny
and that every farthin@ he spent or
gave away or left was earned bv him

beqneathed to him by n friend about
two years before his own death. Dick

TIE Mandarin's Robe.

The author of "Recollections of a
Society C~lairvoyant' tells of the case
Of a lady who was haunted by reason
OF a garment she wore. 1t was a
mandarin'S robe from China, stated to
be part of the loot from the sack Of
Picking. The owner. who lived in a
fiat in a London suburb, first began
to be alarmed by "a smell of decom-
position in her bedroom and heard
"stealthy footsteps padding along the
tiny passage in and out of the sit
ting ROOM She changed her house.
but the obsession continued. The
dreadful smell required, her cats died
in great agony from some unknown
ause. and %uncanny footsteps were
heard at night. According to the
clairvoyant's diagnosis. the robe had
belonged to "a man who had worn it
when he engaged in the mystic forms
OF ceremonial magic known to the
Chinese. He had met with a violent
death, and certain malignant forces
were still imprisoned in his robe.
which. from the bloodstains on it, he
must have been wearing when he was
killed. The curse was eventually
dispelled by the robe being burned.

Proposed Amendment ArOuSeS
Publishers Representative.
Ohio Congressman Loaded with
Facts Concerning Statehood.
Brings Spicy Two Hours on New
Mexico Arizona Resolution.

Washington, May 1S.-Senator Root
appeared before the Senate finance
committee today To argue that the es-
sence of the proposed commercial pact
between this country and Canada is
reciprocity and that such was the un-
Outstanding of those who framed it.
He suggested an amendment to the
House bill which would prevent wood
pulp and paper from coming into this
country free until it was free from all
the provinces of Canada. Senator Root
eontended that such an amendment
would not prevent the agreement as a
whole from becoming effective. on the
other hand John Norris, of New York
representing the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, commenting on
the proposed amendment. said that its
adoption would be fatal to the agree
ment.
Senator Roots amendment was de-
signed to make pulp and paper free on
both sides at the same time, instead of
allowing the importation at once of
free pulp and paper from these prov
inces in Canada in which there are no
restrictions regarding the expectation
Of these articles. The bill now, he in
sists, contains no provision whatever
by way Of condition or otherwise for
the free admission Of paper and wood
pulp into Canada. His amendment
would add TO the wood pulp and paper
provision the stipulation that Canada
may have the right to import these
articles free only t'wnen the President
Of the United States shall have salts
factory evidence and shall make proc
lamations that such admission of wood
pulp, paper and boards being the pro-
duct of the United States are admitted
into Canada free Of duty"
Lodge Of the committee, had inserted
into the proposed amendment the fol-
lowing words after Canada, and all its
provinces"
Senator Lodge contended that as the
bill stands the action of one province
in imposing restrictions would not pre-
vent all the rest Of Canada from ex-
porting To this country free paper and
wood pulp but would not allow the
United states to export these articles
into any part of Canada. He said that
we could not deal with Canada by
provinces any more than Canada could
deal with the states in this country.
The committee will consider the
amendment in executive session.

Boston, May 1S-The government

DR.. Gin Fuzzy Moy, c. D. NJ. GARDINER,
Capt. Harvey G. Daily and Goodman
Phillips, charged with conspiracy to
smuggle Chinese into this country, and
the defence outlined its plan before the
court adjourned. The principal wit
ness before the government closed its
case was Miss May Graham of Phila-
delpha, who had been With GARDINER
in Jamaica and had correspondent with
him frequently.
one of GARDENERS letters to Miss
Graham was read in court today. It
was sent while the writer was in Jail
awaiting trial and was addressed To

love and the author expressed the hope
that after his wife had secured a di=

not to say anything about bringing

Miss Graham said in her evidence
that she loaned GARDINER $1,000 for
various enterprises and received his
promise that he would repay the loan
when the Chinese had been landed.
She said that Gardiner seemed very
busy while in Jamaica and was con

and receiving kilograms. She made

Received by Attorney G. S.
Dupfe Of Biddeford
In Letter on Which He Even
Has 10 Pay The Postage.
He Is One Of the Opposition TO the
Corporation Sole.

Biddeford. May 1S.-Godfrey S. Du-
pre-. an attorney of this city. and one
of the six Freneh-Ameriean Catholics
recently interdieted by decree of Bish-
op Walsh for activity in connection
with the opposition OF the Corporation
Sole received an anonymous letter this
morning threatening him with death.
The letter was written in French, and
much Of it was so profane that it
would be unfit for publication, but the
paragraph containing a definite threat
read as follows:
If YOU don't stop speaking against
st. Andres parish we viii shoot you.
At any rate. you had better be pre-
pared every night by making your act
of contrition."
Dupre says he has no idea who wrote
the letter, but that he thinks that the
author was an educated man and that
he pprposely used bad grammar and
spelled words incorrectly. To add insult
to injury, the writer put no stamp on
the envelope and Dupre had to pay the
two cents postage due. He will give the
letter to the police today
Last week a communication written
by Dupre and criticising the mission
fathers, who have been holding their
missions at st. Andres church, was
published in La Justice, a paper edit
ed by Alfred Bonneau, also one of the
interdicted Catholics, The particular
clause of the communication which it
is believed inspired the threats of the
anonymous letter writer was as fol-
lows.
"The French people of Maine can
settle their own affairs without the in
reference of the good fathers, who in,
stead of preaching the gospel of their
Master have made themselves cleans
ers o. an administration so unciean
that it takes four weeks for two men
to teach man how TO clean it Sun
days"
Dupre SAYS his criticism was not di-
rected against St. Andres parish but
against the whole system
