"Aphredite," carved 5000 years
ago in Greece, was dug from Balti-
more cellar the other day, where it
had reposed for half dozen years,
and might have been lost for all
time, The statue, the head of a
girl perhaps five years of age, was
in the National Museum of Athens
for many years. In 1900 it was
stolen. The Greek government
spent large sums in tracing 1t, and
finally the information came that a
Greek candy merchant of Baltimore
had 1t, He confessed when detec-
tives put hfm through the third de-
gree, and took them to the cellar
where they unearthed it. He said
that an unknown Greek who had
worked for him had given it as Sc
curity for a debt. and he had buried
it for fear some one would steal it.
/ The merchant is under arrest, but
the thief who sold 1t to him cannot
be found. The statue will be ship
ped back to Athens. Its discovery
was due largely to the efforts of A.

PRESSD|SCARDFD
AFTER LONG USE
Old Newspaper Office Fixture Has
Long History and Many In
teresting Connections.
PRINTED A PAPER THAT
WAS ORDERED SUPPRESSED

Anna, ILL.,. July 29.-An old
Washington hand printing press,
which had been in use in the Jones'
boro, ILL.,, Gazette office since the
year 1857 was discarded a few days
ago to make room for a more modern

flee by OK teams. The newspaper
was then owned by John Grear, of
Jonesbo~o, father of Walter and
John w. Grear of this city. John
Grear paid S275 in gold for the old
press. By swift work he managed
to print 2i0 copies of the Gazette
per hour.
The Gazette was established in
1S49 by John Evans and Thos. j.
Finly.
During the year 1868, the Gazette
was edited and published by James
Evans, who was an officer in the
109th Illinois Volunteer Infantry,
composed of Union county citizens
and mustered into the service of the
Union at Jonesboro. The Gazette
carried during the war a series of
articles from the versatile pen OF
James Evans. who wrote from the
camps of his regiment. He returned
from service to his home in Jones
boro, and in May 1868, the office
of the Gazette was closed by the or
der of Lieut.. Col. Josept H. New

There were old and young men,

the principals.
This vast assemblage had come
from three counties, Carlisle, Bal

sensation. is not regarded as indiCat-
ing any condition of immortality
among University of Illinois stu

On the other hand, said member
of the faculty, it means that some
of the freedom of the coed - will be
taken away and that girls will be
urged to stay in the new dormttory
planned at a cost of 100000, unless
they reside in a club house.
Another inquiry will likely be
made into the morals Of foreign stu
dents. No color line has been
drawn by the university and Twin
City girls. They have kept COM
pany" with South Americans, Mexi-
cans and Filipinos Those who
claim TO know. say that the morals
of the foreign quota is just as high
as that of the native born, but the
developments in the case of the

eagerly.
