Rooms which were used for various
purposes opened into the porticocs OF the
peristylium and are found in the second
story. They were occupied chiefly by the
servants. The richly decorated ones
served as the womens apartments

most secluded part of the house.
The greatest effort will be made to
restore TO its original condition the Pom.
pciian thoroughfare, known as the Street
of Abundance. which was the centre OF
fashion and luxury, the Fifth Avenue"
It might be called. Of the ancient pleas
ure city.
On this street were the palaces facing
on a thoroughfare reserved for patricians
and behind them the dcns devoted TO Sc
cret orgies. There were the schools OF
The patrician children, and there within
stones throw Of them were the drink
ing saloons where wealthy Pompeiians
could meet with dancing girls and ac-
treSses. There was the home of the pa
trician. with all its high art and refine
ment and love Of letters. and opposite it
was the arena OF the gladiator where the
master OF the house could rcvel in blood
and every form Of wickedness
The Street of Abundance was shut off
by closely placed tall stone pillars. so
that chariots and other wheeled vehicles
could not pass through it. 1t was a corso
such as Naples possesses to-day. There
was ample access to the palaces from tho
rear.
The Street Of Abundance was lined
with shops and booths having 'show win
dows," and fitted with marble counters
upon which were displayed only such
articles as entered into the Injuries and
elegancies of life--toilet articles, per-
fumes, scented unguents. choice fabrics
jewels and art objects, Swcetmeals. and
there were beauty parlors" adjoining

"Mucius lolius, our master, was car.

his purse or his toga, and placed noise

Even the jokes are preserved. for in
barber shop was written plainly:
"Barber-How shall remove your
hair?
"Customer-In silence"
The baths, somewhat similar in char
acter to our Turkish baths, were very
conspicuous features Of Pompeiian life.
The use of this very hygienc method of
bathing was moro common than at any
other period and doubtless enabled the
people to endure their dissipated and
sensual lives. y number of these baths

Coomans will then become realities
One Of the dwellings that will prob
ably be restored in this way is the beau
tiful palace Of the Roman millionaire,
Obellius Frmus. One of its interesting
features is the peristylium. or columned
garden. in the centre of the dwelling.
Here Obellius and his friends walked.
and their children played and ran about
among the beds of brilliant flowers. the
bronze bird cages and dcns OF strange
animals.

gladiatorial contests. We even learn tho

stance on the wall Of a glada,or's room
is written:
"Strax suspirium puclarum," meaning
"Strax. for whom the girls sigh" lie was
probably a fierce barbarian from some
distant country.
Though these deadly contests aroused
most interest, the ordinary theatre was
not neglected. An inscription written by
an irritatcd plehcian or the gallery wall
tells us: Ladies' so to tho play To he
heard rather Than 10 hear" Plainly the
manners OF the Pompcian iashionablcs
were exactly like those OF fashionable
New Workers at the opera. Cock fights
and dog fights were exceedingly popular.

RIGHT DIRECTION
New Schedule on M. R. & B. 7. Railway
Effective Last Sunday, Great I'M
prOvement in Public Service

The new schedule of train service
on the M. r. & B. T. Railway, which
went into effect last Sunday, as well
as the schedule of the electric rail-
road, from Pennington to Flat River,
which gives good connection at that
point, is another step in the direction
the Times has been pointing fer some
time. That the M. r. & B. T. Rail-
way will be the principal beneficiary
in such efforts to render to its patrons
the best possible service there is no
reason to doubt, as the travelling pub
lie is always quick to see and appre-
ciate any effort that may be put forth
for its benefit.
The Times also wishes to congrat-
ulate the management of these pub
lie service corporations for this long
step toward making them truly SER
wants of the people, and if The Times
position in this matter has served to
remind them, in way, as to their
duty to the public, then we are addi-
tionally pleased. 1t has also been no
ticeable, since the new schedule be-
came operative, by which an addition
al car has been put on to Flat River,
that practically all the cars are still
crowded, even before the new sched-
ule has become familiar to the public.
Now if the service of the electric
road can be improved somewhat at
the DeLassus end, then there can be
no reasonable objection to the car SER

Bootleggins Period in Court

The Circuit Court convened last
Monday, Judge Peter Huck on the
bench, The week has been taken up
mostly with cases of illegal selling of
intoxicants, and the Judge doesn't
seem disposed to show much leniency.
He says it is not question of wet and
dry, but a question of law, whether
the law shall be enforced and Offend
ers punished.
In the case of John Wilkson Of Bonnie
Terre for violating the local option
law on divers occasions, he elected
to be tried by jury, and was found
guilty on one count, the jury assess
ing his fine at $1,000 with an addi-
tional punishment of twelve months
confinement in Jail He took an ap-
peal from the judgment. There are
other counts against him which have
not been disposed of.
VIM. Asbridge, under similar
charge, entered a plea of guilty, and
the court taxed him with fine of
$500. On the recommendation of the
Prosecuting Attorney he was paroll-
ed. Other counts against Asbridge
were dismissed.

Body of Revolutionary
Hero is Disinterred

On September G, 1886, Captain James
Caldwell, patriot and soldier of
the Revolutionary war, died at Farm
ington, and was buried on his home
place, afterward the Judge William
Carter place. After Judge Carter's
death, the Carter property was laid
off into town lots streets and alleys,
1t so happened that Captain Caldwell's
grave was left in an alley running
east and west back of the old Car
ter house.
Last Monday DR.. ]. P. Sebastian
of Williamsville, Wayne county, came
to Pennington, to superintend the
disinterment of the body of Captain
Caldwell and have such of the remains
as might be found after eighty years
reinterred in some cemetery. The
Doctor in this was animated by a SEN
timent interviewer with the Caldwell
and Sebastian families, and was as
sisted in this work to preserve the
memory and mark the resting place
of the old soldier and a pioneer of st.
Francois county by the Sarah Barton
Murphy Chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution.
The disinterment took place Tues
day morning. All that was found of
the body were the skull, the thigh and
shin bones. These were carefully
stored in a box and placed in charge
of Milton Spaugh, and will at a date
not yet decided upon be given final
resting place in Parkview Cemetery
