West made somo gracious answer to the compliment, inul Nelson went on: "Why have you pnlntcd no moro llko if" "Because, mj lord," West replied, "there are no mnro subjects." "Ah"' .aid tho sailor, "I didn't think of.tlmt " "Hut. my lord," continued West, "I am afraid your Intrepidity will yet furnish mo with another such scene, and If It should, I shall certainly avail myself of "Will you?" said Nelson, "Will you, Mr. West? Then I hope I shall die in the next battle!" A few days luter ho sailed, hlstrange ly expressed aspiration was leallzed, and tho scene llvi upon canvus. ROMAN BATHS RESTORED. Remodeling of Ancient Structures Uncovered nt llntb, Englntid. From tho Philadelphia Record, Tho old Roman baths at Bath, Eng land, have been leccntly restored and reopened for public use, nnd an effort Is being made to re-establish the an cient fame of thnt town as a health resort. Those baths are said to have been built A. D. 60. Three largo Ro man villas have also been found in the Bath Valley. These, and n few frag ments of pav Ing, altars and tombs, ure the only record of the Aquae Sulls which was finally destroyed and de serted In 577, If wu except tho Roman baths. These Roman baths were tho chief object In the ancient city, nnd It Is assumed that, on the jacking of the place by the Saxons, columns and en tablatures weie ruthltssly destroyed. Conduits which carried off tho super lluuus hot water were choked up, and that the ceaseless welling up of the mineral water continuing, the area of the bttlis was tloodcd. Tho valuable mineral deposit of the rprlng of many centuries covered the floors to a depth, in somo places, of fifteen feet, buvjt Is to this deposit that is owed the pres ervation of the nnclent work. AVheie that deposit and the mlncrnl Hood did not exist the baths became the quairy out of which the builders, Saxon and Normnn, procured the nmtcilnl for the monasterv, tlif city walls, and the bish op's palace, which coveied a portion of the site; indeed, stones can be trac ed in the Abbey chinch, rebuilt 1,500 and subsequently. The Roman baths wore discovered In 151, but what wnb found was In part destroyed and covered up. Previous to lS'il, from tlmo to tlm?, fragmentary discoveries woie tmde, but In that j oar a fortunate discovery was made w hlch' led, about six years later, to the cotporctlon purchasing pioperty which enabled excavations and discoveries to be made. This wotk was continued until the e.ir 1SSC, le-commenccd In 1S30, and fiom that time, with an in terval of a year, till June. 1S)5. In making these lostoiation every iITort was mud" to treat th? magnifi cent Roman bath in a manner which houId be free fiom the charge of 'van dalism and yet utilize the space avail able to the utmost extent. In the new concert room the idea lues been to pro vide iimpl" accommodation for tho ever-Increasing number ot visitors to Hath, the dally conceits having hith erto been given in the historic pump 100111 The latter will henceforth be (leveled esclusively to tho water drink ers. The scheme as now completed is, w.tli the exception ot the position on plan and the interior of the promen ade, very different fiom that oilgln ally designed by Its architect. Of the icmaiulng portion the ill at idea was that tli Roman bath should be roorcd over: new It Is open to the skl Also It wis at flist proposed that the new subsldlaij 100ms might be on two or 111010 lloois. now they aie all on one level with th" rjromenade. But these rclnts aie so linpoitant that to cairy them out the whole design had to be levised and red! awn. In the lesult It must be fully udmlttecl that In this case ceitalnly second thoughts have proved to be the best, and as a conse quence the archltectuial composition has galnsd both dignity and inleiest. r:teinallv the general design of the building Is founded on the architecture of the west fiont of tho old Pump 100m. On a rusticated basement, the height of the subsidiary rooms, tho main block of the promenade stands high above the genoial level. The north flout, toward the Abbey church-yard is adorned by six Coilnthian columns, canylng a pediment which foims the gible of tho 100m. Ir. the senter ot this front Is now the main entrance leadii'g directly into the north corri dor, with windows on each side. Above this, between the columns, is the cen tral three-light window of the prom enade, flanked on each side by niches for statues the pediment over being iillei by an enriched and caived cir cular opening for ventilation. The low buildings are continued on each side, so that the central block stands quite clear of the old Pump room, the dome being a well-narked featuie In the general vlv. Th- north, or pilnclpal ft out. Is einlchei by some excellent caivIng In the capitals of the columns, the frieze between them, and the pedi ment the work of Mt. Aumonler, Lon don, who did all the carving, 'both in stone and wood. The aim of the ar chitect has been to pioduco a simple nnd dignified building, depending foi Its effect on the haunony of Its propor tion, the refinement of Its detnii, and lis agreement with the aichlectuie of the old Pump Room. MAKQUIS AND REPORTER. The Imperturbable hcreiiity of Lord Ilnrtiugton. Moie than twenty years ago, while Rprtlngton was chief secretaiy for Ire land, some national demonstration In Phoenix park led to a bleach of the peace? thai cillJd out the trocros. The dlstuibance occuired on Sunday, and Immediately after the paradars vvete dispersed, manv of them serlouslv In Juied, two or three ot the leaders has tened to a lawyer nnd liegan legal pro ceedings against Lord Hartlngton for having incited to a bteich of the peace by calling out the troops. On the day ot tho alleged riot some friends of the secietury, including Pi of Mahaffy, had been at luncheon at tho vice lotril lodge In the paik, and on their way to the city weie witnesses of the dlc tutbance. When Mr Mahaffy was called during the trial In court the op posing counsel asked him If tho crowd had recognized him "Yeth." he re plied, In his bland and lisping style, "I prethume that my frlendth and my thlf presented thumlhlng of a qualth-vlthe-iegal appearanceth"" (a quasl-vice-regal appearance). Great amuse ment was caused by the effoits of lawyers to pin the ptofessor down to an exact meaning of this phiase, and Mahaffy, who is an adept in the- arts of bamboozlement, explained himself to the Jury In words taken from Latin, Greek and Gorman, which, of course, made the matter perfectly clear to the twelve good men and true. Hartlngton was put in tho witness box and gave a elmpk"yes" or "no" to ench question. "Did you call out the tioops?" "Do you think you were Jus tified in calling them out?" "Do you think it the duty of a secretary to stop a peaceable meeting of citizens by uendlng armed soldiers to flro upon them?" "Yes" or "no" camo deliber ately as the calm-looking witness shifted the right leg over the left kneo or the left leg over tho light knee. Tho fishing got nothing out of him, He was deep as mid-Atlantic. When coun sel tried to Irritate him lie smiled, looked down nt his wiggling shoes and said nothing. The indent nationalist, who was priming the cross-examining liwyer with questions not calculated to turn awny wrath, had fire In his eye. This little fat man, with a very led nope, was a reporter on a Dublin paper, and as lio might never ngaln havo iv chance to disturb the tranquil ity of the witness he made the most of the opportunity, Outrageously ir relevant questions wero put at his in- THE GREAT STORE.
