A CITY IN THE SEA.

Ruins of an Ancient Town on the Bed of the Adriatic. Near Rorigo. on the , peninsula of I stria, In the Adriatic sen, the ruins of a large town are said to exist at the bottom of the sea. It had been observed for some years that fishermen's nets were sometimes entangled in :what appeared to be masses of masonry, of which fragments were brought up from the sea bed, says the Pall Mall Gazette. A diver declared that be had seen walls and streets below the water. - The city authorities decided to investigate. They sent down a diver, iWho, at the depth of 851 feet, found himself surrounded on the bottom of .the sea by the ruined walls, undoubtedly the work of man. Continuing hia explorations, he traced the line of walls and. was able to distinguish how .the streets were laid out He did not see any doors or window openings, for they were hidden by masses of seaweed and Incrustations. He traced the ma sonry for a distance of 100 feet, where he had to stop, as his diving cord did not permit him to go farther. , Some people think that they identify this lost town with the Island mentioned by Pliny the elder under the name of Cissa, near Istria. This island cannot be found now, and It is thought the submerged town may have been a settlement on the island that so mysteriously disappeared.

ITHACA, New Yor, April 15. 1,200 students canvassed at Cornell university, 65 per cent of them voted in opposition to wine suppers or alcoholic beverages at class affairs.

BOSTON, April 15. Marriags license bureau officials call leap year a joke. The amount of licenses this year has fallen off 50 per cent.

CLEVELAND, O., April 15. The Rev. Bustard, pastor of John D. Rockefeller's church, has proclaimed a list of "Don'ts" to keep down divorce. The keynote is economy and fidelity.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y., April 15. John Di Rockefeller worked for an hour as a volunteer fireman when fire broke out in the residence of James Buiter, a neighbor.

Wasted Effort. "Sorry, Bill, 1 can't come to the theater with you tonight. Now, don't look so cross. You ain't cross, really, are yer, Bill?" "No, I ain't exactly cross, Liz, but still it Js a lilt aggravating for a chap to find he's washed his face and hands for nothing, ain't It?" London Telegraph. Mistaken. Witness He's a dirthy, mane, little wretch, yer honor; a low Magistrate Silence, witness! "Well, yer honor, it's the truth." "Doesn't matter. We want none of It here." London Telegraph.

Sounded Ominous. "Dad, can I take a post graduate course In biology?" "That depends, daughter," replied the old man cautiously. "What do you want to buy first?" Pittsburg Post.

One of the remarkable features of the Chin revolution thus far is that it has occasioned comparatively small disturbance of the finances of the far east.

SAVAGE ATTACK BY SENATOR PDMERENE Ohio Solon Demands Criminal Prosecution of Officials of Trusts.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, April 15. Officials of the dissolved Standard Oil and American Tobacco companies were denounced in scathing terms on the floor of the senate today by Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who spoke in behalf of a resolution introduced by himself demanding that the congress go on record as demanding the criminal prosecution of these officials. "It ought not be said of .any just government," said the senator, "that the rich are favored before the law while the poor are unprotected. "Examination of the opinions, of the supreme court in these cases will convince any fair minded man that the court is of the opinion that these two companies knowingly, deliberately and defiantly violated the law. "What excuse can be given for the failure to prosecute officials of these two corporations who have violated the law of the land. It was not a case of uncertainty of the law but of the open defiance of it. "They drove the price of raw materials down to suit their own convenience and increased the price to the consumer at will. Out of a pooling agreement of Kentucky tobacco growers came the conviction of eight of ten members of the pool. "In the meantime the men who organized the American Tobacco trust, built an enormous monopoly, worth $300,000,000 in stocks, bonds and physical assets. "I don't see why the tobacco growers who were forced to combine for self protection against the tobacco trust should be punished, while the officials of that trust go free. The price movements of stocks since the dissolution of these two trusts show what has been done. It shows how the rich stock jobbers and trust magnates have manipulated to the advantage of their pocketbooks."

In the transportation of petroleum in California the use of rifled pipes and the practise of heating thick ols while pumping have been attended with good results.

D, A. R, CONGRESS IS TO BE LIVELY Same Old Feud Breaks Out Again When Sessions Began This Morning.

(National NewJ .Association) WASHINGTON, fij 15. The old feud that split the). R. convention of a year ago int warring factions and resulted in a hotly contested fight for the organization presidency between the followers of Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, who won the election, and Mrs. William Cummings Story, of New York, leaped to the front this morning when the 21st Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution convened in Memorial Continental Hall and the roll call disclosed the fact that both the Scott and Story forces were present in large numbers. It is expected that the present convention week will uncover a renewal of hostilities between these two leaders and those in touch with D. A. R. affairs predict one of the hottest sessions In the history of the organization. Another interesting phase of the present,, meeting is the universal popularity displayed throughout the various organization chapters for a "safe and sane" Fourth of July celebration, and for uniform laws to prevent the desecration of the flag. It was stated today that every effort will be made to promote this propaganda at the present meeting. Following the roll call the committee on programs made public the list of business to be considered by the convention during the week. This includes a reception to the Daughters by President and Mrs. Taft on Thursday, an address by President Mrs. Matthew T. Scott and several entertainments to the deegates. This -evening, from nine to eleven, the president-general Mrs. Scott, will give a reception to the Daughters and their families at Memorial Continental Hall.

NOBLE THOUGHTS. All true independence of character is born of an inner life that feeds upon noble thoughts and consecration to higher ideals. All other is artificial and narrow. It a most important to keep dearly in mind the difference between narrowness and love of truth. - .
