During the wars of the Edwards, Newcastle
was an important point. Between the
English and the Scotch it was necessarily
radiating center for blows and supplies.
1t was Royalist during the Cromwellian
wars. and yet 1t was its fate to deliver up
Charles / TO the Parliamentary Commits
sioDers in 1647. That, however, was the act
Of the Scottish army. The town was not
royalist when the Pretender tried conclu-
si0ns in 1915, and nobody was royalistic for
the Stewards in 1745. when the last struggle
OF the unfortunate exiles took place.

Roman bridge across the North Tyne orna-
mented with embems of phallic worship.
The bridge is there in defiance of food and

in short, is just as much entitled TO venera-

died and is buried, and whence the Emperor
Constantine the Great set out for the fight
against rivals and brushed them aside.
The Saxon story of Newcastle is too
tribal TO trace or determine. The evidences
of Norman power are substantial. William
the ConQueror passed north to punish the
Scotch and returned and found himself
short of supplies. But he got all he wanted
by robbing the monastery at Tynemouth,
ten miles seaward. Robert, the son of the
Conqueror, built the first castle of the
budding town Oh the north bank of the Tyne,
but that disappeared, and the presen. castle
is credited to Henry the Second. Under
Henry the Third the town was authorized

Friction for Rheumatism.

People who rub their arms or legs for
rheumatism should remember that the Sc
cret OF the benefit derived from massage is
that the operator always rubs up; that is.
in the direction of the beart. The reason
is found in the fact that the valves of the
veins and capillaries all open toward the
heart, and by rubbing in that direction the
action of these vessels is assisted, the ves-
sells themselves are enlarged and circulation
is more freely promoted. Rubbing down
that is, away from the heart-does harm.

Four Men at One Shot.

NEWARK, Del, Feb. 24.-An ex-
traordinary accident happened at a
clay pigeon shooting contest on New
London avenue. During the prog
ress of the shooting there were
gathered on the grounds a crowd of
spectators. AS Charles Peters was
handling a double barrelled shot
gun preparatory to shooting, it acci-
dentally went off and discharged its
load right into the crowd, which was
hardly twenty-five feet distant.
Those who witnessed the accident
expected to find dozen Or more
killed or maiIned. Strange to say,
however, only four men had been
struck, and only two of them seri-
ously injured. They were Joseph
Jacobs and George Batson, the latter
colored. Jacobs was literally COW
cred with shot wounds in the face
and breast. His eyes are put out,
and it will be remarkable If he
RECEIVERS. Batson will also be de-
prived of his sight, and will carry
shot around in his head for life.
The other two victims, George Mes
siler and Charles McCarty, were
only slightly injured.
