ATiinss , Greece , .Tuno 10. [ Special Corro-
Bpnndnncoof Tun Bun. ) Thuro was nothing
mysterious nbout the American caravan that
wound over the Sacred Way to Elousis last
WOOK , ever the satnu rook-cut highway on
which the Mystao marched 3,000 , years ago ;
but It was oxtremnly novel nnd the first one
of the kind that had over been fitted out lu
Greece.
It was American In thn { It was oriraii-
Izod by two Now York gentlemen who were
In the habit of traveling In the ino.it luxuri
ous and Ideal way , and was under the pro
tection of the American Hag ; but the touts
were Arabian , the servants Egyptian , the
vnlot an Italian , the cook French and the
Dragoman , mules and muleteers , ( Stocks.
These gentlemen hud niroadv made a six-
weeks' tour of the Koloponnosuos , timing
with them the American consul as tholr
guest , nnd now thov were oil for n second
tour Into northern Orcoco.
They were provided with kitchen , ( lining
nnd sleeping tents , taking provisions enough
with them to last during the trip. To our
great surprise and delight it was announced
nt the consulate ono morning that the ladies
had been Invited to drive wUh them to
Elousis In carriages nnd lunch In the tent
near tno temple , before breaking camp for
their departure northward.
It was u beautiful morning when wo took
this most charming drive ever the Stored
Way , the caravan winding Its way far abend
of us among the olive groves. Wo started
out In high spirits ; our driver , who has llttlo
In common with hl.i ancestors , the torch-
beat era , turned his horses' heads down
Stadium street , which is moro suggestive of
Paris than Athena , excepting for the Orook
signs over the doors. Presently wo passed
the Street of the Tombs where the beautiful
marble bull , after being burled many centu
ries , now stands on n pedestal with head low
ered , guarding the sacred spot. All around
him ttio ancient Inscriptions speak to us from
ulabs and monuments Parting scenes nro
pictured In marble standing out in relief
from enormous stllo. One showing nn
Athenian lady at her toilet , with mirror in
hand , and a slave attending : on another , a
father half raised from his couch calmly extends -
tends to his children a parting hand ; on still
another. Charon , the long-hatred boatman ,
assists departed souls ever the river Styx to
hados.
On reaching this spot wo begin to roali/o
that wo are fairly on tha sacred way. PassIng -
Ing the botanical gardens , which comprise
nbout three hundred acres , wo enter tboollvo
groves of academe , where Plato and Aristotle
taught , the great trunk : ) gnarled and knotted
into indescribable shapes ; picturesque farm
ers drive by Inthoirgoatsklnovorcoats.loung-
Ing back lazily in two-\vhoelod carts ; donkey
boys trot past us resplendent In white
fustonollos and red caps , bound for the me
tropolis , their meek little breasts laden with
fruits and vegetables.
Occasionally wo pass u bit of the old wall
onono dido and strips of road cut out of the
solid rock on the other , showing that wo
were following very closely the Via Sacra of
old. Traversing the plain of the Cophissus
wo arrive at the monastery of Daphne , built
on the slto of a temple to Apollo , the walls of
which are still standing. This beautiful pass
in the mountain marks the ancient boundary
between the two kingdoms , Athens and
Elousis.
Hero wo halted In this romantic spot and
wandered into the court , where rows of mar
ble pillars and lovely Corinthian capitals
burled in the weeds told the sad fate of
Apollo's shrlno. Mounting the stops wo trod
over largo blocks of exquisite old carving
ruthlessly built into tbo platform.
Near by Apollo's ' columns were used for
hitching posts and Apollo's capitals with
their carefully carved acanthus loaves are
placed each sldo the stops for horse blocks.
We plucked hero the lovely nar
cissus ( lowers so fatal to Por-
slphoro in the old legend. This
Iiower li heavy with fragrance and much re
sembles our tuberose.
Leaving this pictaresquo mountain dofllo ,
at a bend In tha road , the sen with the moun
tains beyond , bursts upon our view with in-
dcscrlbiblo beauty. To roach Elousis wo
must ride around the bay , n distance of about
Uyo miles , nnd the waves dash up to our car
riage wheels as they must nave washed the
foot of the Mystic in the dim past.
: On the outskirts of the to\yn is the famous
well of Demeter , where the suffering mother
Is said to have rested in her fruitless search
for her daughter. Peasants were filling
their parts with tbo water , and constant use
of the ropes for 3,000 years hud worn deep
polished grooves in the marble.
The modern Elousis Is a squalid village
where goats , sheep , chickens , donkeys and
children live together nndor ono roof.
Women In Altnnian costume snt knitting on
their doorstops , and dark llttlo urchins. llko
imps of mUchlof , dipped their sacred olive
branch Into the muddy pool aud gave us the
benefit of it.
Entering the precincts of the toraplos wo
were nmazod at the size and extant of the
ruins. A vast pllo of splendid remains
greeted our eyes ; columns , capitals , entab
lature * , blocks , and slabs , covered with In
scriptions here , nng beautiful carvings thoro.
Pedestals for statutes of many sizes , Dorio
Ionic , and Corinthian remains mingled in
sad confusion. Prominent among the decor
ations were noticed Domotor's symbols ;
Wheat sheaves , fruits and flowers. Every
slmpo nnd slzo of mnrblo mot the eye In n
confused mass , but with the aid of our map
wo were enabled to inuKo our way from the
temple of Artemis to the Greater Propyloa
nnd on to the lessor , up and down the mystlo
way by the shrlno of Pluto , under the over
hanging rock , dually halting at the Grand Hall
of Initiation.
Hero wo paused nwo stricken nnd out of
breath , to study this wonderful spot. No
one can doubt for an instant that this Is the
exact slto cbojon by Uomotor for her shrlno.
Many remains of that most anctont tcmplo
built by king ICotoos in execution of her or
ders are hero still on this same slto. It has
boon tlvo times it ) built by succeeding conquer
ors. The ono by Plslstrntus (500 ( B. C. ) was
burned down by the Persians nnd rebuilt by
Clmon. Now the square bases of tha columns
of Pericles who planned them on a uiu.jnitl-
rent scale nro still visible. Then came the
Jtomniib who mu.it ncods take tholr turn at
despoiling nnd rebuilding the sacred city.
Tbo two propyloa were orcctod afte'f the
model of the propylcn of tno Acropolis at
Athens , and not far off are the remains of the
splendid arch of triumph to the Emperor
Hndrtnn. The mysteries were celebrated with
increasing cplondor down to the time of the
Uothlo Invasion. The ruins of the cisterns ,
baths , tatuary and lovely temples of the Ko-
man duto show that when Alnrlc , the Goth ,
laid low the glistening city , it was as bnauti-
ful ns art and mnrblu combined could make
It ,
Now wo ascend the flight of stops cut into
the solid rock ou cither Idoof thograud
temple leading up to the Acropolis site above
and bland gazing down on the fearful havoa
in marble and wonder how It
was possible before the days of
pun powder for these wretched
invndcw to accomplish such wanton destruc
tion.
tion.Uomotor
Uomotor certainly chose a magnificent spot
for her shrlno. The Day of Salamls ou the
ouo sldo and the fertile Kharlan plain sur-
rounrknt by the Parties range of mountains
changing their tints with every setting sun.
A magnificent statue of the goddess of
Demeter was found among tbo rums u few
years ago by a traveling Englishman , Ho re-
solvou to send it to England and obtained
permission by some shrewd devlso from tbo
government at Athens to take lu Ho bad
11 rat to overcome the bcruploj of the Inhabit
ants , who were wild with excitement nt the
prospect of the removal of the statue and de
clared that not only would Dumetor not allow
herself to bo taken , but that tholr crops would
fall If deprived of her presence. Hut through
the influence of their priest ho succeeded in
obtaining a force ol mon and with great diffi
culty moved tbo enormous statue to the sua.
There fcho was hoisted with ropes and pulleys
on board a ship bound for England , the Eluu <
elnlhiis taking leave of her with solemn predictions -
dictions that sba would bring destruction
tha ship. Curiously enough their au-
were fulfilled , for the ship never
reached Its destination , but sunk In n storm
off HoachorhcAd.
About the same tlmo a ship load of Mr. El
gin's plunder sunk to the bottom , so that now
old Kasoldon shares his dominion of the sri
with Demeter of Klousls and the stolen gods
of the Parthenon.
How-much bettor to have restored the god
dess to her own splendid sanctuary 1
Dut our tlmo wai limited and wo hurrtod
on to the museums where we saw many marble
blo troasuroi , statues , and wonderful bits ot
carved fragments. Hero and there were the
remains of Llomdlor'n nltars ornamor.tod on
thrco sides with women's heads having the
horns of a goat and festooned between
with the signlllcant pomograuato. Wo
could sea the tents pitched a llttlo
way bolo\v \ near the sea , from two of
which the American llait Molted and the
( Jrook Hag from the third. When wo reached
tlio camp lunch wai awaiting us , and wocro
invited to the open dining tout , wboro a menu
lit for a king was served bv a Syrian waiter
In native costume , whllo the waves of the
lovely bay of Kluush washed up at our feet ,
foot. " Nothing-was forgotten to nda to the
perfect enjoyment of the day. the menu oven
including the rod multorand honey-cake , both
sacred to Uomotor. A boquot of apple blos
soms , plnKs and rosebuds adorned the tamo.
After coffee wo wont uowil to the seashore
ever the ancient walls dating back to King
Koloos , where wo were sprinkled by the
ocean surf which boat agalnsl the walls ,
There wo sang ocean ballads whllo iho mules
were bolng laden and the Arabian horses sad
dled for the Journey. Helnctantly wo turned
our faces away from the wblto sails and the
blue waves that beckunod to us , and bidding
our charming hosts farewell , wo rode homeward -
ward just as the shadows on the green moun
tain slopes were deepening. The
view of Athens nestling under the
mountains llko a white swan going to
reitntid the loveh- blue * 15 { < jan beyond , nil
lay before us , which crowned by the Acrop
olis and Its environs , made view of extraor
dinary beauty and can never bo adequately
described.
From the gap In the dofllo wo descend
through thovaloof the Cephlssus with Its
olive groves and its nlghtang.lloj. Reaching
Athens at dink wo try to imagine how the
mystlo nrocosslons wound in ever this road
jaded anil weary with the day's p.Ulout march ,
uphold by the great spiritual comfort they
had gained through the prayer and fasting
and wild rejoicing of the aay.
But wo aecldoa to lot the dead past bury
Us dead and llko real llvo Americans onioy to
tbo full the remembrance of this moit delight
ful red letter day in our Orcok calendar.

Norfolk News ; Every community In Ne

tion. Nobra'.ku would bo honored just as
much as Omaha , in the selection.
Falrbury Enterprise : In the contest for

In proper forrn , ,

Is not the place for the convention , as corn-

No great party conventions have over boon

Ut.vssns , Neb , July t. [ Special to TUP
Bun. ] In sptto of the wet weather there was
n grand turnout of farmers nnd townspeople
today to llstnn to the patriotic addroas ol
Hon. C. II. Van Wyck. The general has
hundreds of warm supporters in Bullet
county nnd his speech , which was full ol
eloquence , was frequently Interrupted by
long and hearty npplauso.
General Van Wycic aftorrecltinuvhatwas
supposed to bo established by the war of the
revolution , spoke of the action of parties nnd
the administration lu dlract opposition to the
teachings of the past nnd said :
"And these years have culminated In the
determination of the multitude of all classes
lor redress , not by lire or dynamite , but
standing in the full measure of American
manhood , do It by the ballot which falls
gently as the snowllako , but
Executes a frooman's will
As lightning does the will of Ood.
"After the old parties have entnllod this
condition of affairs wo are told relief can
only corno through that source.
"Tho democratic party encouraged nnd
strengthened the slavery of the black man ,
whllo under the republican has grown the
power of corporations and syndicates , entailing -
tailing slavery of the white man.
"Tho money power has taken the place of
slavery. "
Arraigning both parties for reckless pay
ments from the treasury to bondholders , in
the donation of ! t" > cents for every dollar
paid , the general said : "On an honest count
there Is probably not n laruo surplus , and
our republican brethren will see to It that It
3hall not increase rapidly. They are adopt
ing the policy of close collections and quick
payments.
"Thoy have boon much exorcised nbout the
loss of the merchant marine ; that It must bo
restored at anv cost. Wo build a Chmoao
wall of high tariffs around the republic and
then lament the loss of the carrying trade ,
and they r.whlv conclude wo can regain nt
least a portion , If wo tax labor millions to
divide among a few ship owners ;
and the greater portion will bo generously
presented with compliments ol ttio season to
lines already established and doing well ,
notably the Paciflo mail , owned and con
trolled by the magnates who also own the
Pacific railroads : and then the people are to
Do allowed by a Quixotic proposition of build-
lug in our ship yards a line of steamers to
cross the ocean In flvo days. So wo can bo
startled with the great Impetus given to
ship-building and the carrying trade by
largo subsidies.
Both parties are now on their good be
havior , bidding for the Independent sup
port. "
Prophocylng success In the coming cam
paign , the speaker indulged In this rosy vlow :
"You will , not now or in the future , do in
justice to any class , however much you may
have boon wronged. You are not seeking
vongeanco. While you may not hope for In
demnity for the past , stand flrmly for pro-
toction'for the future. You want no Qulx-
oilo campaigns or tilt with the wind mills ;
you know the nature aud causoof the malady
which allliots the people ; wo don't believe In
auy faith euro in politics and the people have
no contidonco in medicine mon or messiahs.
All sorts of schemes will bo started for your
amusement and to divert you from the lomo-
dlos which may bo of advantage.
Wo want n fair rate of Interest ,
then stringent usury laws , and their
violation to bo punished as tbo viola
tion of other laws are punished. Hobbery
by usury should bo punished as swiftly
as other robDories. Then you want fair rail
road rates flxod by legislatures and corpora
tions , which openly or by stealth refuse to
obey , to bo punished by forfeiture of their
charter. Make them tired of violating the
law and the demands of the people.
Lot us do as our fathers did , demand only
what is right and enforce ooodlcuco by what
ever moans may bo nocossary.
No wildcat schemes or balloon theories
will aid Just now. Wo are yet of the earth
earthy , and deal with men more than a "llt
tlo below the angels. " It Is criminal folly to
ask for mon by tbo thousands who are not
afraid to die ; what wo want Is millions of
mon who are determined to live determined
to enjoy the fruits of the earth , if they can
not the pretended divine gift to make money.
Why talk to you about adhering to the old
parties , when they have each abandoned the
principles they professed before monopolies
obtained absolute control.
Against crimes committed by society and
sanctioned by law the world has boon .1 rebel
ling for thousands of years. Tno patriot in
the dungeon ; on the scaffold and battloliold
have all these years been struggling to make
the world bettor by elevating mankind , at
least to that point where toil shall bo re
warded so that the teller can share In all the
enjoyments a kind providence intended.
A few cannot wrap the inantlo of solf-os-
sumod sanctity about their selfish , forms and
thank God they are not us other mon , and then
sneer and gloat ever the misfortunes of oth
ers , saying they must not murmur because
tboy were born Into that uufortunato condi
tion , or uro Indolent and worthless. Society
strikes a mau down , treads him In the earth ,
then reproaches him that ho cannot overcome -
como the barriers arrayed against them.
Then ho Is assured that making 'money is a
divine gift , and It the Almighty has not
clothed nlm with that gift thou'Uo must endure -
'
duro poverty and bless the Uor'd all the
samo.
If the year's labor will not glvo broad to
the family and education to the children ,
then some pious railroad attorney will ad
monish them that these unjust , cruel and in
human conditions , of which ho complains ,
have always boon , alwavs will bo ; are
Inevitable and cannot oven bo modified and
were so decreed in the councils of eternity
before the earth was and the great mass of
the human family , llko Sisyphus in ancient
mythology , must keep rolling the stone up
the hill and never liopo to cross the summit ,
that the great God wuo pitttoth His children
only Intended lu His dlvluo purpose that a
few possessing the divine gift should enjoy
the millions created alone by labor ana the
great multitude enjoy contentment by kiss
ing the rod that smites thorn.
For over six thousand years , as wo count
tlmo , that doctrine has boon pniachod and for
ever six thousand years the advancement of
the world , in Its conllict with nature nnd the
bloody rescuu from the oppressor of ono and
another of the rights of man until In the sun
light of the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man was recognUod the rnht !
of eaoh to his own toll and without regard to
the color of his skin , man gulltloss of crlmo
could not bo chained and his labor stolen by
thp lash of n master and that In one republic
at least sovereignty was vindicated lu uni
versal suffrage. All this has boon accom
plished not by nagollo resignation and sweet
coutoiitmcit.t , but by discontent. Discontent
from always sowing for others to reap , dis
content that the few booted aud spurred
should ride the multitude ) nnd absorb their
earnings , and only by discontent will como
greater victories , now glories and full
fruition of the rights of labor.
And now from paid attorneys aiid pensioned -
sionod papers goes up the lamenta
tion that all tbo discontents are
gathering in a now party , that the great
convention at Cincinnati was made only of
illscontonts. Certainly It was. There was tha
plaoo for thorn. Where clso ooula they go !
iVml o was the convention that met In
Philadelphia In 1771) ) , and published to the
world , as a protest against contentment , the
great Declaration ot Independence and
lunimu rights.
When wo shall bo ro-onforcod by the
tramping inarch of all the dUcoutonu , not
> -ot In the folds of tbu now party , it will bo
invincible , the sides wilUhlno brighter above
nr and the earth greener bo beneath our fcot.-
The old party is oltuously Imploring the
Itscontontod not to desert thorn , when Itself
lias intensified the discontent , by promising
relief and then refusing that relief , It has
jucn placing pebble ) iu the shos of the
Faithful aud spikes In the couches on which
t asks thorn to ropojo. And so the dUcon-
: onted are coming from every party , coming
from overv way.
The prosperity of the masses year by year
las been diminishing. The gulf between
upltiU and labor has beau dooponlnp and
widening , SyndloaMlmil corporations havi

Thcro Is n remedy , If labor In nil the hlvoi
of Industry , In shops , In mines , on the farm ,
on nil the lines of commerce bv water nnd
rail , would do as the oppressed do organize ,
put In actuality that sovereignty which Is too
often only theory ; make their power felt , not
In violence , but nt the ballot box and In the
creation and afterwards ttio enforcement ol
just laws. Bo assured t lie re Is the sleeping
giant , but tno giant Is us powerless as the
pigmy If ho never arises from his slumbers.
Sco to It that when aroused he Is not gutdod
nnd controlled by the injustice which ho seeks
to suppress. Many begin to roallzO that par
tisanship is not always patriotism. Some-
llniivs party organization may exist when thn
splrt [ which created "ceases to animate It.
The world learns this lesson now nnd then
with great Intervals between ,
When the cross was appealed to and mil
lions of men , with millions of treasure , car-
rlod on the crusade to rescue tbo holy city
and the birthplace and death scoho ot tha
Savior from the touch of the Saracen , not
realizing that It mattered not If the Intldcl
had possession ot the empty tomb where tha
Savior had lain nnd from which Ho bad ascended -
conded , or oven of the wooden cross on which
Ho had suffered crucillxion and whence was
the costly trnnxUguratlon. Mankind had not
loarnoU that It was the risen , living Christ
they were to follow , nnd emulate each other
in tbo good deeds Ho practiced and lu obey
ing the now commandment Ha gave , to love
ono another , rather than murder women and
children nt the mouth of an empty sopulchro
or at the foot of Calvary when no brightness
shouo from its summit.
Mon often exhibit n nervy , meaningless de
votion to an organization which once typified
n living principle after the principle had
been victorious and broken the bands which
hold it nnd ascended in tlio full fruition of
realization. Our fathers know that the
mother country , with all the pretenses of
love and care to the colonies , bad grown op-
prosslvo , and to save themselves from unjust
taxation hurled the tea In Boston harbor nnd
dolled n power they had heretofore cheerfully -
fully oboyod. Tholr descendants today Itnow
that injustice is laying its heavy hand upon
them , demanding something of the same de
termination , not in sac rill co and blood , but
in honest effort in the oxorclso of these
rights accorded to the citizen , sometimes
called sovereign. This generation must
show manly , Intelligent courage , or the next
mav bo compelled to a sterner strugglo.
The world changes by slow stages , tyranny
and greed do not willingly recognize the
rights of the masses. Now , as in the ages
past , the weak the toilers the humble , se
cure their rights from the fears of these who
would play despot.
The poet wrote stern facts , nnd ho
was neither demagogue nor crank when ho
wrote : fl
Truth forever on the scaffold ,
Wrong forever on the tnrono ,
But that scaffold sways the future ,
And behind the dim unknown

Keeping watch'abovo His own.

Every man who owns a horse should knew

Take iron stains from marble with lemon-

In cooking vegetables always remember
that boiling water evaporates rapidly on the
approach of a storm or when It Is raining.
To remove sdratchos nnd bruises from fur
niture , rub thorn gently with a fresh walnut ,
butternut or hlckorynut kernel , and they will
disappear as if by magic.
Old newspapers tora In small pieces and
wet in water softened bj' the addition of a
little ammonia are excellent to wash lamp
chimneys.
It Is just as necessary to keep salt from ab
sorbing bad odors as croam. A sack of the
best salt standing where there is a smell of
fish or any objectionable odor will absorb the
flavor.
All sorts of vessels and utensils mav bo
purillod from long-retained smells of any
kind by rinsing them out well with charcoal
powdered after they have boon scoured with
sand soap.
Silk handkerchiefs should bo quite dry before
fore Ironing.
Put camphor gum with your now silver
ware nrd it will never tarnish as long as the
gum Is there , Never wash silver in soap
suds , as that clvos it a white nppearanoo.
If a llttlo corn starch Is put in the salt for
the table It will keep it from lumping , and the
prottr llttlo shakers \ylll not have so hard a
scolding In damp woathor.
Splnnach julco colors a whlta sauce pret
tily , and when poured ever hard-bollod eggs ,
sliced and laid evenly on the platter , Is a
tempting dish.
No kitchen should bo without scales to test
the integrity of things purchased by weight ,
nnd to measure the quantities of various
recipes.
A llttlo kerosene oil rubbed briskly over
the spots on dark clothing will brighten the
garmonta and remove the stains almost like
magic.
A small box filled with limo nnd placed on
a shelf in a pantry or closet will absorb damp
ness and keep the air dry nnd sweet.
To have the crust of a potplo brown sot the
not on a few coals before the tire and turn it
frequently.
A pound of sulphur burnt In a tightly
closed room will destroy every living thing
in it , from moths and bedbugs to possible
disease germs.
Plenty ot hot boiling water should bo used
in cooking vegetables , ns the greater the
quantity of water the greater the heat. If
only n llttlo water is mod the whole soon
cools , the vegetables become tough nnd no
length of time will render thorn tender.

For fall colors It is probable that the vari
ous shades of broum avlll moro than hold
tholr popularity. Anllndox of this Is soon In
the colors ordered byrtha leading tailors for
'all and winter clothing. Everything in this
Ino is brown , particularly for suitings.
The pearl doroy , whllih has boon well In-
reduced , has had bur H moderato solo and
this in confined to u great extent to the largo
cities. It has had a goad start , however , and
will bo papular next , reason. Puarl cassi-
noros had a raoilorato $ nlo , perhaps showing
a small increase ever 44s' ' ' year ,
A sudden boom In tad silk bat trade would
nako It very difficult' fijr dealers ta obtain

The fall shapes thuL far shown have no
striking dlvergonco frofl these of the spring.
A bullet shape Is shown by some of the load-
ug manufacturers , nnd has received favor
able ndvanco orders. The same may bo said
regarding a full crown , und It U really a mat
er of Individual choice. Both round and
3'Orsay curls are shown , nnd brims and
crowns are of rcodorata proportions.
Slllt hats promise n very radical departure
rom the straight crown * so long In voeue ,
and the char.cos are that a heavy bell crown
vith a brim wall rolled and pitched will como
n. Such a decided change would make all
lie silk hats now worn look very much out of
date and glvo a genii I no revival to tbo busl-
loss. It is to bo hoped that the arbiters ot
Ilk hat fashions will have I bo requisite
uorvo to adopt the boll crown unanimously.
