New York, Nov. 24.-John D. Rookie

replied to the charges made by the
Merritt brothers before the Stanley
steel Investigating committee regard
ing the method used by Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter in securing control Of the Mesabi
ore mines and the Duluth. Missabe and
Northern railroad, pointing out that
these charges were denied under oath
as long ago Of 1895 in litigation over
the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron
mines.
He furthermore submits the text of
a paper bearing the date of Jan. %,
1897, to which are attached the names
of Alfred and Leonidas Merritt and
''all the other members of the family"

fed and denies that the loans in ques-
ton were ever called by him.

getting at the exact truth, and, wbeth.
err you or the offending driver or both

he conducts you with quiet dignity

patch from Oyster Bay:

such is desired. 1t can be stated that
Colonel Roosevelt received letter
from a certain United States senator
Offering the full Republican support
of the senator in case Colonel Roese-
welt should wish to be a candidate in
the national campaign. To this letter
Colonel Roosevelt has replied that he
earnestly hopes the senator will not
only refrain from any action looking
to the nomination of Colonel Roose-

from taking any such steps,"

KING soLoMoN's MINES.

They May Have essn the Ancient Geld
Workings at Rhodssia.
Rhodesia, that province of British
Africa lying between the Zambezi and
the Limpopo rivers, has considerable
deposits of gold. The ancients mined
and carried away enormous quantities
of the precious metal, but under the
scientific mining systems OF the pres
ent day their operations will be greatly
surpassed.
It has been thought that Rhodesia
was tie ancient land Of Ophir, the land
Of the mysterious king Solomon's
mines," but this theory is strongly
combated by some Investigators. The
ancient gold workings are the basis Of
modern workings. For every ten
square miles of Rhodesia, 1t IS stated,
there was one ancient mine-that Is,
there are $4,000 old workings-which
means that sstupendous wealth was
dug out of the earth before the days OF
Cecil Rhodes. Much Of this wealth
must have gone to the north and east
1t was probably wrought into the
crown of the Queen Of Sheba and filed
the Golfers Of Solomon.
The ancient smelling furnaces are
said still to be Of easy recognition.
They are sunk into the floor" The
furnace blowpipes are made OF the
finest granite powder cement, and the
noxzles of the blowpipes are covered
with splashes Of gold. The Innings OF
the holes are covered with specks OF
gold. When the first lining became
worn by the heat fresh lining OF &C.
ment Of an excellent quality, which
has outlasted time, was smeared round
on top Of the old lining. It Is said
that one can take an old lining, split
of the layers with knife and find
gold splashes in abundance.
The tools Of the ancient workers
which have so far been discovered In
clude small soapstone hammer and
furnishing stones of water worn rock,
to which gold still adheres. There are
evidences that the ancients carried on
an extensive industry in the manufac-
ture of gold ornaments and utensils.

canus, the hero Of the second Punlc
war, and the Duke Of wellington. the
conquerof Of Napoleon.
Each was descended from an ancient
and noble family. Each was the
second greatest soldier Of bis age,
pitted in Z life and death struggle
against the greatest. As scipio was
to Hannibal 20 was Wellington to
Napoleon. Hannibal threatened the
very existence Of Rome; Napoleon was
on q fair way to become the master
Of Europe.
Again, Spain was the center Of the
most splendid achievements Of both
commanders. The victories Of scipio
In Spain are too well known to need
recapitulation, and Wellington's TIL
umphs in the peninsular war form one
Of the commonplace Of history.
Neither Of these great generals met
his arch-adversary until the final and
decisive battles-Zama and Waterloo
respectively. And the result Of both
battles was exile to the defeated
chiefs. Hannibal retired to Ephesus;
Napoleon was deported to st. Helena.
But the parallel does not end here.
Both scipio and Wellington exchanged
q military for political career. And
here the same fate pursued them.
Scipio incurred the enmity Of the
Roman senate: Wellington gained the
hostility of the London populace. And
here follows the most remarkable fea.
ture Of the parallel drawn between
these two great men.
Seventeen years elapsed from the
battle Of Zama-seventeen years to
the very day-when the great Scipto
was tried on question Of bribery.
He was not slow in his defense to re-
mind his judges that on that day he
had saved the republic. Seventeen
years elapsed from the battle Of Water
loo-seventeen years to the very day
when the great Wellington had to
take refuge from the attack of Lon
don mob. angered on account OF his op-
position to the parliament reform bill.
The only point in which the parallel
fails is this: Scipio died outside his be-
loved city of Rome; Wellington has

Of these Ingredients and the method Of

and mustard and similar seasonings
may be added. but fundamentally the
real mayonnaise is always the same.
The following rule will be found
good one:
Have ready one egg yolk, one scant
cupful Of olive oil, three teaspoonfuls
OF vinegar, a saltspoonful Of salt, a
saltspoonful Of sugar, light dust Of
cayenne and a level half teaspoonful
Of powdered mustard. Break the yolk
with q fork, beat the mustard, salt,
pepper and sugar into 1t and when a
smooth mixture has been formed be-
gin adding the oil, drop by drop, until
the whole begins to look like creamed
butter. Then pour in the oil faster
until all is used. While the oil IL be-
ing added the dressing should be beat
