a nihilist Plot,
Truth About tbe Accident to the Grand
DncheM Xenia of Russia.
There is great excitement in imperial
circles at St Petersburg, according to
trustworthy information, because of the
accident to the Grand Duke Miohaelo
vitch Slid the Grand Duchess Xenia, the
daughter of the czar, on the evening of
their marriage a few weeks ago. The
telegraphic dispatches which were sent
from Russia at the time declared that
on the way from Peterhof palace, where
the wedding was celebrated, to the cas
tle of Prosha, where the honeymoon was
to be passed She coachman's eyes had
been blindel »by the bright calcium
lights, the carriage had been overturned
and the occupants severely bruised.
But this report, it now appears, was
highly colored by order of the imperial
censor, who wields such autocratic pow
er over the press and telegraph offices in
Russia. The truth appears to be that
the accident was the result of a nihilis
tic conspiracy to murder the young
pair.
"On the way to the castle the newly
wedded couple had to cross a bridge
spanning a dangerous cut The bridge
had been tampered with by the conspir
ators, so that when the imperial car
riage rushed over it the timbers gave
way, and the carriage and occupants
fell to the bottom. The coachman was
so badly wounded that he died before
he could be removed to a hospital. The
grand duchess was badly bruised about
the head and body and had her right
arm broken. JJ is al ßo feared that she
was injured internally. Her young hus
band had also severe outs about the
head.
The excitement, of course, was intense
in the city when the truth became
known, despite the efforts to suppress it
qpd to spread the news that it was an
accident.
Many reasons are assigned as the mo
tive for the attempt to kill the favorite
daughter of his majesty. It had been
expected, some say, that the czar, in
honor of the wedding, would pardon a
number of political prisoners. When it
became known that these hopes were
not to be realized, the nihilists deter
mined to revenge themselves in away
which would hit the ruler hardest—the
dea’th of his daughter. They almost ac
complished their purpose. The czar and
other members of the family fear that
' the wretches, maddened by the partial
failure of their plans, may try some
other way of seeking revenge. The po
lice for this reason have orders to be
vigilant.—New York Trib

NEW FOUND WEALTH.
Over 82,000 Discovered In an Old German
Family Bible.
James Pateman is a wholesale dealer
in potatoes who lives on Federal street,
Camden. His wife’s maiden name was
Oberstal, and her mother sold fruit and
vegetables for 50 years under the old
Market street sheds. She died in 1879,
and her daughter was surprised to find
how small her savings were, although
she had been a very thrifty woman. It
was ’believed, however, that she had giv
en her money to a frolicking spendthrift
son, and the matter was forgotten.
Two weeks ago a relative called on
Mrs. Pateman to ask what had become
of the mother’s German Bible, saying
that it contained the family births and
■ deaths and shonld be looked up. Mrs.
Pateman, after some reflection, remem
bered that an old trunk contained some
of her mother’s clothing and at once
made a search therein. The Bible was
found—a huge folio, 18 inches square
—and it contained much besides good
pr&epts, for between the leaves nestled
a 5-20 United States bond for SSOO,
with all the coupons attached, and
50 in legal tender notes. Further
search brought to light a nest of gold
and notes in a battered old tin tea cady.
Some of the eagles are dated 1820, and
there are over SSO in $1 pieces.
In all the treasure trove is about $2, -
100. Mrs. Pateman already wishes she
had never seen the money, as about 20
nephews and nieces are going to law
for a share of it.—Philadelphia Times.

Some Opinions
from Emineimt Men
of Georgia,
CONCERNING THE NSW EdltiOHl
of the Encyciopaedia
« Britannica and the
remarkable Introductory Offer
OF THE
Atlanta Consthtuton.
THE general distribution of the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
ninth edition, has enabled the public to take the measure
of this incomparable work and place it in contrast with
other cyck>p;rdias. The result has been to establish beyond
question its unqualified superiority, it is a giant where others
are pigmies. It stands the noblest work in all literature , the one
only adequate representative of the advanced thought and
scholarship of the world. It is the only cyclopaedia in which
each subject is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that
subject. No other has spent one-third as much money on
literary labor as the Britannica. No other can show a list of
principal contributors, either so eminent In their departments of
scholarship, or varied in nationality and profession, or so
numerous. The full list of contibutors numbers more than two
thousand persons, and includes the most eminent literary and
scientific names of Europe and America. While it is the
acknowledged standard. Incomparably the best and most de
sirable cyclopedia in existence, its high cost has heretofore
placed it beyond the reach of the majority. The English edition
is sold in this country at SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner
edition at $5.00 per volume, making the cost of the set, In 25
volumes, from $125.00 to $200.00 in cloth binding.
Some Cheap Editions
have been printed* in America, but their Incompleteness and
inaccuracy rendered them inadequate and unreliable as reference
libraries. The first and oldest of these was the Stoddard reprint.
This reprint never became popular with the American people,
partly because of its small type, which was set without leads be
tween the lines and accordingly difficult to read ; but the princi
pal reason for its disfavor among ttic American people was the
fact of its inaccuracy in reproducing the original text. The
carelessness of a proof reader, for instance, in allowing a wrong
exponent in a mathematical formula, a wrong subscript in a
chemical formula, or a wrong figure in a date might serve only
to confuse the mathematician or mechanic, to put out the eyes
of the chemist, or turn to ridicule the orator who trusted to the
accuracy of his reference library. Yet such errors are inevitable
where the type is reset and the proofs read by men who have no
technical knowledge of the subject in hand.
Another reason why the Stoddard reprint never became popu
lar was that in reproducing the various engravings, diagrams,
plans, etc., no thought was giver, to the need of retaining
a proportionate scale of measurement, and the printers, who had
no other object in view than the general appearance of the page,
altered the scale-drawings at will, making them large or small
to suit their convenience in arranging the page*. The result
was, that although a considerable number of these sets were
sold, the enterprise
Never Became a Real Success
and the old plates were finally sold or rented to Maxwell Som
merville. who attempted to make the edition acceptable by add
ing foot-notes of correction here and there throughout the work.
Under this guise a few more sets of this work were sold, but the
public were not slow to discoverlhat the " Sommerville Edition ’’
was simply a new name for
Aim Old and Rejected Work.
Following the Stoddard reprint there were two photographic
reprints : the Allen reprint and the first Peale reprint (no longer
on the market), but as the process of photographic reproduction
was then in its infancy these editions were but slight improve
ments over the unleaded Stoddard edition, tor while the repro
duction had the appearance of leaded type the pages had a slight
ly blurred effect. Yet, in spite of this objection, both of these.*
editions enjoyed quite a wide popularity in their time, because
the public understood that there could be -no question as to the
accuracy of a -work reproduced by a photographic process.
But a new era has dawned on the Cyclopaedic world that will
not recognize an edition which is merely a reprint.
A New Edition
of the great Encyclopaedia Britannica "has entered the field, be
fore which the original Edinburgh Edition itself is compelled to
retire. Taking advantage of recent improvements in the art of
reproduction, the pages of the original have been duplicated in
such perfection that even one most skilled in the technical
knowledge of printing finds it impossible to distinguish them
from type-set pages. But il was not enough to publish an edi
tion that was simply as good as the original; a few years of
inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that the
Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior to anything pre
viously issued from the press, was yet not infallible, and while
it has always been a matter of amazement among book-lovers
that so voluminous a work as the Edinburgh Ninth Edition fur
nished so little grounds for criticism, yet all acknowledged that
here and there errors of a pronounced character had found their
way into its pages. It is a notable fact that heretofore every
publisher who undertook to place a new edition of this great
work before the American people, has undertaken the enterprise
with
A Sort of Superstitious Awe,
viewing the text of the original Edinburgh edition as somehow
sacred and not to be tampered with. When, therefore, the Edin
burgh edition proclaimed that “In the world of letters, at least,
the Southern States have shone only by reflected light, ’’ and
that “ mainly by their connection with the North, tire Carolinas
have been saved from sinking to the level of Mexico or the
Antilles,” the American publishers, in a spirit of servility quite
in contrast with their usuai independent thought, have repro
duced this slanderous statement verbatim, because, forsooth,
one erf the twelve hundred English writers for Britannica has
said it, and, therefore, it must be true. In preparing this new
edition no good reason could be found why the errors of the
Edinburgh edition should be perpetuated, but not one word or
letter or .subscript .or expunent that appeared in the original

THE ROME TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1894.
Edinburgh edit op was omitted or altered except where the
original Edinburgh edition was
Found to be in Error.
In a few instances the articles (twenty-eight In all) were entirely
rewritten, bringing them in line with more recent knowledge,
but in all other instances the text of the original is reproduced
verbatim d literatim with supplementary information of later date
appended. The maps, also, were in nearly all cases supplanted
by new and later ones, which were produced especially for this
work at a cost of $30,000. From a literary standpoint, therefore,
the new edition equals in every point, and excels in many points,
all previous editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. From a
mechanical standpoint, also, the new edition is
StrikimgDy Superior
to anything that has heretofore been presented to the public
The print is large and clear, the engravings are specimens <rf
the highest art, the margins are wide, the paper is of a fine and
compact texture, which, while thinner than the paper used in anj
previous edition, yet avoids all transparency, and therefore
gives every advantage of the former large and clumsy volumes,
while it is much more compact and convenient to handle. The
binding is also superior to any former edition, being made with a
double-hinge flexible back, which is more durable than any other
binding, and permits the pages to open out flat. In preparing
this new edition for publication
The AtOanta Constitution
was able to give valuable assistance byway of criticisms and
corrections, and it takes a just pride in the fact that it played an
important part in giving the public an edition which possesses
all the virtue of the former editions, but.has corrected the slan
derous and untruthful reflections against the people of the South.
It is partly as a recompense for these services that the publish
ers of the new edition have granted a contract to The Consti
tution whereby its subscribers can obtain this great “home
educator” for a limited time at remarkably low introductory
prices, and upon terms so easy that it is within the reach of the
humblest citizen.
It should be remembered, however, that this is simply a plan
adopted by the Britannica publishers to get this new edition be
fore the public, and when that has been sufficiently accomplished
regular prices will be resumed, and then CONSTITUTION sub
scribers, like ah others, will have to pay full retail price for the
work. By ordering now you will save from s2l to $35 on
the price of the books, besides paying for them at such an easy
rate that you will scarcely realize any outlay.—The Atlanta
Constitute >n.

Professor J. C. Chilton, President Texas

of tbeculture of the family; it is a well established principle
that ‘the mind grows upon what it feeds? When a man has
filled the kitchen and cellar with provision* for his children,
he has only gotten half through—he has done as much for
his horses. He must next provide food for the mind. A
good library is just as essential to the higher happiness of
the children as a good larder. The new edition of the En
cyclopaedia Britannica is'the best work of tbe kind now on
the market. It is, in truth, a library in one set of b <oks. I
use it, our professors use it. and all our s udents ute it. It
