AN INTERESTING TALK
BY j. S. Maxcy on Recent Trip to
Pompeii and Other Places.

j. 5. MaXcy recently before the Uni
versalist Club told some incidents that
were of interest. At Pompeii the
Italian government is carrying on the
excavations and Mr.. MaXcy while
there was watching the workmen. He
noticed some red marks on the wal.
of building. and soon there was ex-
posed to view a painted inscription.
At the time of the eruption an election
was about to occur, and the merits OF
the candidates Were painted on the
building as we now placard on paper
the qualifications of ours. For 1855
Years this inscription had been buried
from the human eye and Mr. Maxcy S
party with a hair uozen workmen We're
the first to see it.
He also told of his visit to the tomb
OF an Etruscan king. A short distance
from Perugia when a farmer was
Flowing some 40 years ago his oxen
suddenly dropped out of sight. In ex-
cavating them it was found that they

was unable to agree.
District Attorney Wise said, today,
that he was not III a position to outline
the governments course as yet, but that
conference on the matter would be
held. tomorrow. He had no furth r.
statement to make at this time. De-
lancey Nicoll. chief counsel for the d.

greement reported at am early hour this
morning, after more than Is hours de-
liberation, he regarded the result of the
trial as a practical vindication of mis-
clients. While differing reports current
today, Were that the jurors stood to

said that only one out of the Il jurors
voted for conviction.

Coal at under a penny tom And
$40 tons Of it at this price. tool This
is the price that coal was actually sold
for in Scarborough in January, whea
the price for ordinary coal in London
was EOS a ton. II happened this way.
The steamer John Ray left Newcastle
on Tyne for Great Yarmouth With a
cargo of coal but encountered severe
weather and went ashore at Scar
borough, where she became a wreck.
The coal was scattered on the rocks
and at the sale by auction it only
fetched 39s for the whole $40 tons. OF
course. the coal had to be collected
from the rocks but even if only half
of it was recovered, the buyer, after
paying for the collection of it, should
have made a nice profit. The ship
John Ray itself. which, before she
struck the rocks, was good, sea
worthy steamer. and cost some thou
sands of pounds to build, was sold for
only GSS.
This, however, is not so remarkabis
as an incident that occurred at a sale
of wrecked ship some little time
ago. The following is the story OF
what actually happened. large
sailing ship went ashore and after all
attempts to tow her off had failed, q
sale was held of the ship and con-
tents. 1t was held in the nearest vii
lage. and, although the sale had been
advertised. only few people from the
village attended the sale The ship
and everything on board was offered
IN one lot, and was bought by viii
lager for G17 few minutes after
the snip mad been sold large number
Of people arrived who had been de-
fayed 10y train being late. Many of
them, of course, had commissions to
buy the ship at a very much higher
price than the eli which the vilIager
mad paid for it. Their ANNOYANCE OF,
hearing what had occurred may be
imagined. The viIlager who had
bought the ship was sought for, and in
a Few minutes he had sold the ropes
ana spars on the ship for 100: white
the ship itself and the other various
goods and Fittings on board were soon
bought by other people, and in a few
n2inutes the villaEer had made quite n
FORTUNE which, in the ordinary course
OF events, would not have been ar
cumulated in a lifetime.
Many other bargains have been
picked up at the sale of wrecked YES
sels, but things do not always happet,
IKE this, for at one sale a few weeks
ago a number of steel safes were sola
Whlch had been under water for near
~ a Year and it was surprising Ia
una that the price they fetched was
almost as much as new safes OF mo
same sort could have been bought cot

Miners ApathetiC
Regarding Ballot.

London. March 31-The miners are
taking far less interest in the ballot
to end the strike than they did in the
ballot which began it. Probably this
is because the result is foregone
conclusion. In many districts only
about half the men have recorded
their votes. This indifference not un-
likely accounts also for the fact that
Northumberland Lancashire and some
other districts are voting against a
resumption. and only the irreeoncil-
ables are taking the trouble to vote.
However. the aggregate voting is
largely for a return to Work and the
indications are that many men Will
have taken mp their tools again be-
fore the final result of the polling is
declared. In not a few of the dis
triets. the men have already begun
to reopen the roads and prepare the
mines for a new start at the earliest

SCHEME WORTHY OF CHICAGO
Plans for Beautiful Park That Will
Make Il One Of tho Show Cities
{: Of tho Country.

A long stride toward the realization
Of the Chicago Beautiful" plan va
made Just before the close Of the past
year when. through the cooperation of
the city. the South Park commission,
the Chicago Plan commission, and tho
Illinois Central rSlroad. the people Of
Chicago regained control Of the lake
front. The vexing problem Of the loca-
ton Of the Field Museum Of Natural
History was also solved, and the beau.
tiful structure will be erected In a Ger
trail location instead of in Jackson
Park, which Is in the southern por.
ton Of the city.
In the deal between the city. the
South Park commission, and the I'LL
nois Central railroad, tho city acquires
the riparian rights from Twelfth street
to Ffty-frst street, affording opportu-
nifty for the creation Of island parks
for miles along the shore. The plan
calls for the extension out into the
lake Of the present shore line by I'LL
ing, and the making Of a narrow island
or strip of land about seven or eight
miles long, paralleling the shore line
from Grant Park to Jackson park,
about 400 feet out in the lake.
Between the extended shore line
and this outer strip Of parks will be q
lagoon, approximately 400 feet wide,
providing a calm, comparatively safe
waterway for canoeing, INCORPORATING
and rowing. Channels, giving access
from the lagoon to the lake, will be
provided at intervals, viaducts will
connect the island parks and the shore,
two great pleasure piers, extending
half a mile out into the lake, will be
constructed, and a boulevard connect
ing Grant and jackson parks. will be
built along the lake side Of the outer
strip Of land. Bathing beaches will be
constructed at various points. and the
island parks will be real Fairgrounds
for all Of Chicago. where baseball, ten
mis- and all manner of outdoor sports
may be INDUCED in. All this will be a
part of a chain Of parks and boule-
wards which will extend 20 miles along
the shores of Lake Michigan.
me Field Museum OF Natural His
tory, owe which SO much controversy
has been waged, due to the successful
fight made against it's location in
Grant Park, will be located on made
land Immediately east or lakeward OF
the present Illinois Central railroad
depot, which depot is to be torn down
and a new n built facing north,
fronting on Twelfth street and abut.
ting on Michigan avenue. In this po-
| sition the museum will overlook Grant
Park, looking north.
l. The made land required in this
scheme can be provided, at practically
no cost, at the rate of 100 acres q
year, by utilizing Chicago's waste ma,
.terial.
