Although Representative Clayton's

that the President is not considering

are constant rumors in the other direc-

of Alabama politics an announcement

Grand Opera and High Finance.

From the New York World.
We can see no reason for excitement or
criticism in the action of a well-known
theatrical ticket agency in hypothecating
a block of 100000 worth of opera tickets
to get the money with which to pay for
the same before subselling them to pa
irons
Men borrow money on shipment and
sale of trainload of hogs. with a bill
of lading to evidence the security. They
borrow money with warehouse receipts
on storage of corn for future sale.
Are tickets Of admission to the golden
horseshoe at the opera to be reckoned
as security for a loan inferior to such a
bill of lading or such a warehouse re-
ceipt? Is the money or credit given
on the loan any more tainted with
fiatism or assetism or inf1ation-perish
the thought that these opera ticket prices
are inflated.-when opening the way to
the dress-circle than when moving hogs
or corn to market? We venture the
opinion that not even that exceptional
authority on fiatism, Mr.. Vanderlip,
would apply 1t in this case
But there is difference. The borrower
in the one case gets his money to pay
the loan when he sells the goods. But
the borrower on tickets to the golden
horseshoe usually has to wait for the
money when he sells his goods Whether
high or low finance 1t Is never so un-
certain as when dealing with the people
of high finance.

The Ear of Dionysius.

From the Wide World. Magazine.
Sicily is rich in Greek antiquities. Some
of the best are clustered together on the
outskirts Of the old town Of Syracuse A
very popular one is the Ear of Diony-
sius." In the Latonia del Paradise, an old
quarry used as a prison by the Greeks.
The walls Of this quarry are over a hun
dred feet high. and lean inward at an
angie of about thirty degrees-all chisel-
work done by innumerable slaves. The idea
was to prevent any possibility Of escape on
the part Of the hapless prisoners confined
here. and as further precaution, Do
nysius had chiseled out in the solid rock
vast cavity. very similar, as seen from
without. to human ear. by means of
which he is said to have listened to the
conversation Of the captives. The interior
of the cavity is in the shape of the let
ter IS" and gradually tapers until at the
extreme summit you may perceive small
hole through which the daylight comes.
1t was here that Dionysius did his caves
dropping.
The acoustic properties of this ear
are extraordinary. the slightest whisper
being distinctly audible while a loud
noise. like the slamming of the door
which gives access to the ear" produces
rapid succession Of deafening reports

A New Theory Of Ghosts,
From the Boston Transcript.

rom tne Boston Transcript.
There is a new theory to account for
ghosts. They are "aetheric memories"
They are past impressions reasserting
themselves. On Christmas day the dis
coverer of this theory dined with his
vicar and was told about the vicarage
ghost. 1t is the sound of footsteps along
the passages and in the bedroom former
ly used by the old vicar These sounds
are only heard when the house is very
STILL generally late at night. Then thus
the theorist:
1T has occurred to me that there may
be a perfectly natural explanation of
this phenomenon and of the innumerable
recorded cases of things heard and seen
of a similar character. They have moth
ing to do with spirits or anything living
at all. but are. i suggest, merely past
Impressions left on matter and making
themselves perceptble to our senses
under favorable conditions, very much
as impressions left on the memory pre-
sent themselves to our consciousness in
an apparently capricious manner"
This does not satisfy the inhabitant of
haunted house who is regularly at the
end or each month strangled for a brief
period by the ghost of a choeric old
colonel who terminated his marital diff
culties in that fashion. Mr. OConnor
postulates the existence of something
more substantial than a past impress
sion on matter" There is still another

ghost used to promenade the corridors
and tramp heavily up and down stairs
regularly after the house was quiet at
midnight. The ghost was jocularly ac-
cepted as housemate by the residents,
though they We're to tell the truth, q
bit mystiffed. Finally. hearing him per-
forming one day in mid-forenoon, 1t
flashed into their heads that the stairs
and floors, sagged by the tramping of
many feet during the day, We're warping
back into normal. Hence these ghostly
footsteps Hence, also, perhaps. the

unemployed men, may be abandoned,
according to reports today. OF 100
men driven from this city across the
Sacramento river into Yolo county by
the authorities Monday 500 have de-
serted. With Gen" Kelley, the leader.
and his lieutenants in Jail, charged
with vagrancy, many of the men are
losing interest in the trip and there is
much talk of abandoning it
The question of what action may be
taken to get the men away from this
part of the country has not yet been
decided
A plan of getting rid of the unwel-
zens' meeting last night, and if accept
ed by the army both Yolo and Sac
ramento counties will probably see the
last of the unemployed visitors before
nightfall. The plan suggested would
take the men to Bay Point, forty miles
from their present camp, midway be-
tween Sacramento and San Francisco
Fares would be paid by Sacramento
citizens. Many of the men are willing
to accept this plan, provided Cen"
Kelley and others are released from
Jail
Sacramento continues Under a sem
blance of martial law. the saloons hav-
ing been closed again last night soon
after dark
Officials of Sacramento and Yolo coun-
ties went into conference again early to-
day in an attempt to decide as to the dis
position of Gen" Kelley's army.
Sacramento officials declared at the out
set that they would consent to no COM
promise that would permit the jobless
band to return to the Capital City
The Yolo county authorities again ap-
pealed to the Southern Pacific and Oak
land and Antioch railroad companies to
provide transportation facilities to carry
the unemployed back to San Francisco
bay. but the companies refused.

EMPRESS EUGENE FAILING.

Now in Eighty Eighth Year.
Special Correspondents Of The stal


LONDON, March 2, 1914.
It is reported that the ex-Empress Eu-
genie, now In her eighty-eighth year
has lately been showing serious signs OF
falling health, in spite of the fact that
she is now enjoying the gladdening sun
shine of the Riviera at her charming villa
near Mentone.
The empress has just been Joined by
Princess Henry Of Battenburg, between

tachment 1t was rumored at the time
that had the prince imperial returned
alive from Zululand he was likely to
find a wife in Queen Victoria's youngest
daughter, who was his junior by year,
and it was thought significant that the
funeral of the unfortunate prince was
attended by Princess Beatrice IN the
company of her mother.
The ex-empress. as a fervent Catholic,
was known to have taken the greatest
interest in the marriage Of Princess VIC
toria Of Battenburg to the King OF
Spain. and there is a prevalent belief In
Bonapartist circles that SPANS queen IS
destined to inherit a considerable share
of the very large fortune which her I'M
perial majesty managed to save from
the wreck of the second empire.

Further evidence that the President has
no intention of making an appointment in
which Representative Clayton could fig

of Representative Clayton, is seen in the
fact that the President has conferred
twice very recently with him on antitrust
matters. the legislation regarding which

President has Representative Clayton in

Cameras on Italy's Frontier.
From the London Telegraph.

ID TOm Tup
The secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs has been informed by his majesty 8
charge d'affaires at Rome that the
Italian government has issued regula-
tons prohibiting the use of cameras on
the whole of the Italian frontier. where
there are positions of military impor-
lance, and also in places in the interior
of Italy requiring protection from spies.
The position of these probable districts
is always indicated on posts and placards
clearly marking the limits of such zones.
visitors to Italy are therefore warned
that If. after crossing the Italian from
tier they enter any of those zones, they
will be liable to have their cameras
seized and be subjected to penal pro-
ceedings and fines. Should a plate or
film be found on a visitor with the neg
ative Of a military locality of impor-
lance, the consequences would be still
more serious.
