Palilian Festival at Rome
A Twentieth Century Picture of Caesurcnn Splendor.
Til 1C 1'nlillnn fowlivnl, which I observed nnnmilly nt Home with Im

It derives lis mime from the old t.ntin divinity, 1'nles. Oriinnlly
the fcstivnl wn of n purely Imeitlie clinrncter; shepherds find en t tie jumped
over a straw, tire for purpose) of pmillrntion, mill enUes nnd milk were
offered ns n suorifiee to the jjoddess. Nowndnys more elnhoriite eustoms
jirevail, the mime being the only fen t lire Hint, hns been retained. This
year's festival, which win observed on the 4th of Mny, exceeded in sump
tuousness anything that hns been seen of recent yrnrs. On the heights
ti the Urbg qundrnta wns Inaugurated a lilstorical procession which took
astonished sightseers from nbroad lmrk to the days of imperial Koine.
The procession wns led by Nuniidinn horsemen, mounted pretorians nnd
bodyguards on foot. They were followed by mimes, dancers nnd tierobats,
II group of Daeinns clothed in wild unimal skins and the cohorts of legion
aries, (iladlatom in white, red and blue tunics were grouped in pic
turesque tableaux. A palanquin, carried by four Moorish slaves, housed
yignorn Mililotti, the famous Italian artist. It was followed by gay groups
of patricians and their ladies in elaborate Komiin nnd (irci'iau gowns with
pold nnd jew,eled trimmings, and dainty dandies, nccoinpa nied by slaves
and beautiful pages. Pompous freedmcn tilled the space betweeu the first

and a second, still more elegant, palanquin
matron, accompanied by a page who wielded
Two steers with gilded horns drew
which was preceded by a detachment of slaves ami a troop of (lallie
guardsmen. Then followed the emperor, clad in consular robes, reclining
in a carriage drawn by Ethiopian slaves. xt came more pretorians
and the ephebes, who were to take part in the festival games, children
with wreaths mid tlnwver baskets, shepherds and peasants, and finally the
young steer and sheep set apart for the sacrifice, priests and their at
tendants, vestals in white robes and the lictors, bearing the axe and
fasces, the insignia of their oflice. A motley crowd brought up flie rear.
After marching twice around the stadium the procession approached the
renter, where an altar had been erected. The imperial family and the
senntors were then seated in a seini-circle upon eiirules, chairs of state,
the children scattered their flowers among the patricians, and the high
priest with the Vestnlis Maxima approached the steps of the ultar and
lighted the lire, nniid the applause of the gaping multitude. A chorus
of 300 voices accompanied the sacrificial ceremony with the song of
Uoratinn Cnrnien Sneculare, which had been set to music by Maestro
Ollini especially for this occasion.
i'rom on artistic as well as spectacular point of view the l'alilian
festival of 1!)02 was not only n perfect success, but u lesson as well. It
demonstrated that nowhere outside of Italy and Greece can classic spec
tacles of antiquity be reproduced in a satisfactory manner. Englishmen,
(iermuns and Americans have tried it, but always without success. They
pent more money on their productions than the Romans, but gold could
not supply the mercurial temperament nnd ancestral pride which are
essential to the effective representation of historical scenes.
Tfie War Dogs of Germany
They Are Taught to Carry Messages and Ammunition.
T11U natural instincts of the dog, his docility, watchfulness, endur
ance and reliability, have induced the German war oflice to use him
for military purposes. The raising and training of the so-called
war dogs has been entrusted to the sharpshooter brunch of the service,
with a commissioned officer in charge. It is his duty to train the dogs
especially for picket duty. The prime essential in the canine educational
scheme is to develop the faculty of watchfulness so that the pupil will
give wjirning of the approach of a stranger by a subdued growl, instead of
a loud nnd dangerous bark. Next, the dog must learn to carry messages
lctm one point to another with absolute precision, lleporls entrusted
to him by advance pickets he must carry to headquarters without loss of
siine. As soon as he has delivered the message he must return W the
fdace from which he was dispatched. The picture shows how the canine
messenger carries his papers in a small leather bag uttuched to the
tullar.
Hut n truly efficient war dog has still other missions to perform. He
should be uble to carry ammunition to the sharpshooting detachments at
the front. And ufter the battle he is supposed to ussist iu locating
r
SENDING OUT A WAR
wounded and disabled siddiers and announce eventual discoveries by short,
thurp harkti.
ltesults like these indicated can be obtained only after a prolonged
ourse of expert training, and then only with pure-blooded animals. The
breeds most in demand are poodles, pointers and Scotch collies. The latter
are preferred, because with marvelous intelligence they combine u hardi
ness which enables them to defy climatic changes.
Germany is not the only country which employs dogs for military
purposes. France has, for some time, used them in connection with the
army hospital corps and the army police service. In Italy they are em
ployed for carrying drinking water und light refreshments to detached
pouts, in the Alpine divisions of Austria they ure tuught to uct us guides
a well as messengers.
The officers of the United States army do not take kindly to the intro
duction of canine auxiliaries, but the wonderful success which has at
tended their enrollment iu the continental urmies muy work a revolution
and lead to the formation of u military dog-training establishment.
Lovers of doga are not surprised ut the intelligence displayed by the
Vermun war dogs. They consider their feats merely as a rutional devel
opment of the wisdom of which every dog Is possessed in a greuter or
less degree.

A RIOTOUS POPULATION-
The Tauiaqua Courier just about
tells the truth in the following
editorial:
"Nowhere in the country, unless
it be in Paterson N. J., are the bane
ful eflects of our lax immigration
laws so evident as in the city of
Shenandoah. The last census show
ed the population of the place to be
20,321, and of this number fully
two-thirds are Toles, Italians, Slavs
and Lithuanians. Many ot these
aliens are criminals who were com
pelled to flee from their native land
and seek a refuge in America. They
are in the main illiterate and intem
perate. Many of them were taught
the creed of anarchy in their youth
and they have 110 respect for the
laws of this or any other country.
They are the open and avowed ene
mies of all government.
"During the past few days certain
things that have happened go to
show conclusively that anarchy
practically rules in Shenandoah.
The native portion of the population
live in almost constant fear of the
foreigners. When the laws are
openly violated and when murder
is committed they fear to take the
action that they should because they
have the conviction that the foreign
ers will make an effort to wreck
vengeance upon them. This is a
condition that should not prevail
in any American town or city.
When the laws are violated and the
lives of citizens are endangered an
archy rules. During the reign of
the recent riot in Shenandoah the
police authorities, the labor leaders
and the better class of citizens could
not hold the infuriated aliens in
check. They were simply battling
against a power which they hate
with an intensity that is nothing
less thau terrible the power of the
law.
"Anarchy is gaining a foothold
in America simply because we allow
this country to be made a refuge for
the political criminals of Hurope.
The anarchist comes here and finds
a fertile field for the propagation of
his creed. He is allowed a wider
latitude than in any of the Kuropean
countries. His inflammable writings
make an impression upon the weak
minds and in the course of time his
teachings bear fruit and hundreds
of half crazed creatures stand behind
him ready to commit murder or to
strike a blow against the govern
ment if he so decrees. If Congress
were to enact legislation restricting
certain classes of imigration it would
be found that iu the course of time
cities liice Shenandoah and Paterson
would be purged of the undesirable
class of citizens which they now
possess. ' '

ent indications, it is predicted, will
be much larger than the average
vield. orices of arrnle products will
be much higher than was anticipat

it is said, will command prices far

Board of Sixteen Will Inquire Into Charges
Made Against Episcopal bishop
by Dr. Irvine,
Right Rev. Thomas Clark, Bishop
of Rhode Island, and Presiding Bish
op of the Episcopal Church, who was
requested by Right Rev. Ethelbert
Talbot, Bishop of Central Pennsyl
vama, to appoint a board ot inquiry
to investigate the charges made
against the latter by Rev. E. II. W.
Irvine, D. D., a deposed priest, has
referred the matter to Bishop Dudley,
of Kentucky.
Bishop Clark states that a board of
inquiry consisting of sixteen members,
hall clergy and half lay, will be con
vened.
The place for holding the rehearing
has not been announced. It will be
either Huntingdon or Harrisburg, the
former place being particularly de
sired by Dr. Irvine. Two o( the
members of the board to decide
whether or not the case merits trial
will be Rev. Dr. Tohn Fulton and
Rev. Dr. W. B. Bodine, of Philadel
phia, who were on the board which
held the first hearing at Harrisburg
on July 2 and 3.

Harvesting Oats.
The farmers just now have rightly
entered upon oats harvest. The wet
weather came on about the right time
to benefit the oats snd the crop is one
of the largest ever harvested in this
section, the land regardless of quality
yielding well. There is scarcely a
country store but contains specimens
of extraordinary growth brought in by
farmers for the admiration of their
neighbors.
To Prevent Lemons From Becoming Dry
One who claims to know whereof he
speaks says to prevent lemons from
becoming dry and hard keep them
under glass. It jou are not going to
use them immediately, lay them on a
Hat surface and invert a goblet over
each one of them, or put thtm in a
glass jar. After several weeks im
prisonment in this way, they have been
taken out as fresh and juicy as ever.
The following letters are held at
the Bloomsburg, Pa., postoffice, and
will be sent to the dead letter oflice
August 26, 1902. Persons calling for
these letters will please say "that they
were advertised Aug. 12, 1902 :
Miss Clara Long, Mr. N. C. Ohl,
Ralp Taney.
One cent will be charged on each
letter advertised.
J. C. Brown, P. M.
Here is a pointer made for the
benefit of any individual whom it
may fit. A public officer who de
mands or accepts hush money from
those who have offended the law,
commits in most cases a graver of
fense than the man he is blackmail
ing. The practice cannot be car
ried oa without those who engage
in it getting into trouble.
Priest Scores Socialists.
The Rev. Father Hussie, of St.
Gabriel's Catholic Church at Hazle
ton in a sermon Sunday morning
warned Ins hearers against participat
ing in the Socialistic movement now
being spread in the coal regions and
denounced the same. He said the
doctrines as now being disseminated
are incomptiable with the teachings of
the Roman Catholic Church and
savored of anarchy and infidelity. A
sensation has resulted from the re
marks, because the Socialistic move
has made big inroads in the ranks oi
the miners about Hazleton during the
last four weeks.
