ANTIQUATED SILVER
PLATE IS UNEARTHED
ON BALFOUR’S ESTATE
EDINBURGH, June 16 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—A
hoard of battered silver plate dating
back to the Fourth century has been
found on the estate near here of the
British foreign minister, A. J. Balfour.
It is described as one of the most re
*
markable archaelogical discoveries
ever made in Northern Europe. Mr.
Balfour had agreed with the exca
vators that all finds should become the
property of the nation, and the silver
vessels have been transferred to the
Queen Street museum in this city. The
silver is said to be exceptionally pure.
The site of the discovery is known
as Traprain Law. It was once a forti
field area, which covers sivty acres and
gives evidence of occupation at inter
vals during the first four centuries of
the Christian era. It is believed to
have been at one time the site of a
Celtic settlement under Roman rule.
Its latest inhabitants are thought to
have been Saxon pirates.
Excavators for the Queen Street mu
seum struck a small pit which was
filled to the brim with battered silver
vessels and a few coins of the Em
perors Valene and Gratian. The ves
sels were crushed and disfigured, in
dicating that they were regarded as
booty and intended for the melting
pot. They include flagons, chalices,
platters, bowls and spoons. On them
can be deciphered Christian symbols,
such as Chi-Rho, Alpha, Omega and
Iesvs Christvs. Scenes portrayed in
relief are mainly from Bible history.
The gem of the collection is a richly
decorated flask, beautifully embossed
and bearing the inscription, “Prymi
acoeisiapi,” which has not yet been
translated. Archaeologists have not
been able to say whether the vessels
were spoils taken from one single
church or from a number of different
places. Some of the silver is gilded,
some enameled, and some inlaid with
gold.
| Jackie Saunders as “Sticks,” and
her dog “Mutt” are the attractions at

. FAMOUS CASINO OF
OSTEND IS REOPENED
OSTEND, Belgium, June 14 (Corre- i
spondence of Associated Press).—
After nearly five years of war, Ostend
is resuming ordinary life as far as
possible under present conditions,
with the reopening of the famous ca
sino. A few months ago the great
salons of the casino were a scene of
devastation and wanton destruction.
The building escaped the bombard
ment that transformed so many of the
beautiful hotels and villas along the
Digue into heaps of rubble, and the
use of nine tons of glass has repaired
all the damage thus occasioned, but
the Germans had plundered and de
filed the salons.
Every stick of furniture was taken
away, beautiful tapestries were j
slashed and torn by German bayonets,
and every mirror in the halls was re
moved, together with the copper can-1
delabra in the salons and the beautiful
copper staircase. Not content with
robbery, the Germans left the whole
place in a state that would have
shamed any animal inhabiting a sta
ble. But since then a miracle has
been wrought, and but for the fact
that some of the more valuable fit
tings are at present only temporarily
replaced by imitations, there is no
evidence of the war so far as the ca
sino is concerned.
No one should be without an elec
tric plate, especially the kind with 3
different heats. Northwestern Hard
ware company.
Special dinner served from 11:30
o’clock every day at the City Bakery.
