About l o'clock yesterday afternoon two
little girls, Jane Wark and Katie Spillane,

end of the Quinnipiac bridge.
There were three girls in the party, but
| one was rescued by Captain Walter Avery
of East Pearl street, who was attracted by
her screams and waded into the water and
saved her.
The children were in bathing and wsded
cut beyond their depth. The one that
was saved was behind the two that were
drowned, and when she cav them go unde,
she screamed for help.
A number of persons who were near BY
heard her cries and in few moments &
crowd gathered on the beach and attempt
ed to rescue the drowning girls. Two Of
them sunk, however, before help arrived
Katie Spillans was ten years of age and
the daughter of Michael SpiIlsne, living or
Browns hill in the annex. Jane Wark
twelve years of age, was the daughter oi
James Wark, qusrrymsn living on Quin,

lying on the shore, and hearing the cries
of the children wsdsd into the Quinnipisc
river up to his neck aud saved one of the
Wark sisters. His grandson, Walter San,
ford, put out in a rowbost and assisted In
the rescue.
Soon after the drowning, John Turner
the well-known oysterman, went out In &
boat with William Horton and George
Brockett and by the use of oyster tongs
secured the bodies Of the drowned children
The place where they were drowned was in
an old clip that makes off from the east
shore at the junction of Farrsn avenue and
Meadow street Within few feet from
the shore the water suddenly deepens and

ROMAN OFFICERS DISMISSED.

Smoothing over the Trouble Between
France and Italy-Interview Re-
tween Premier Dupuy and the Ital-
ian Administrations to Keep Or
der in Rome-VfoIenee at Genoa, Ma
pies and Turin.
PARIS, Aug. 22.-The italian ambassa-
dor, in an interview with III. Dupuy, after
expressing the regrets of the Italian gov
eminent for the excesses committed in Ital-
Ian cities sgainst France, informed him
that the perfect of Rome, Senator Csleada,
the chief of police, Siguor Sandri, and In
spector of Police Msjnetti, the officials re-
sponsibls for the maintenance of order in
Rome, had been dismissed, and that repa-
ration would be made for any injury done
to French property.
NJ. Dupuy, in his reply, expressed the
French governments regrets for the Aigues
Mortes affair, and assured the ambassador
that the safety of Italian workmen would
be guaranteed. He added that the French
inquiry tended to show that the Italians
were the aggressors. The mayor of Aig-
ues Mortes, however, was compromised by
the proclamation which he issued, and had
been dismissed.
ROME, Aug. 22.-The demonstrations
yesterday, while not SO formidable as on
the previous day, taxed the police resources
here and In several provincial towns to the
uttermost- Many bodies of workmeH left
work, formed PROFESSIONS with draped
banners and marched through the streets.
The police were powerless, and troops were
obliged to repel the rioters at the point of
the bsyonet.
1t WAS remarked that a much larger pro-
portion of the genuine workmen took part
in yesterdays disturbance than heretofore,
and the chief cries were, Down with
Frsnce" and "Viva la GuerraP The
troops successfully dispersed the mobs
until the latter, later in the evening, con-
ceived the idea of charging the soldiers
with omnibuses and cabs which they had
seized. The crowd, however, was event
ually overcome.
placarded with an address imploring the
people to remain calm in order not to en-
barass the government, who will take
vigorous measures to obtain satisfaction.
The semi-officisl Tribuna says that If the
French governments reply to Italy's COM
plants should be unsatisfactory it must be
considered whether Italy can deoorously
maintain her ambassador at Paris. In
other quarters it is argued that the Aigues-
Mortes affair will tighten Italy's ties with
the triple alliance.
At Genoa the demonstrations were again
violent. All traffic was stopped, and ON
nibuses and kiosks were burned. Troops
occupied the streets and protected the
French consulate.
In Naples every sign board or notice
printed in French was removed or torn
down, and houses were draped in mourn
ing.
At Turin there were similar scenes

Little Peter.

This is the real name of the petrol
a bird that lives on the sea. The
harder the storm the better he likes
it, and the more noise the sea makes
the louder he cries. The sailors, who
are so jolly, never like to meet u pet.
rel they are so dismal in their Goa
black coats, and seamen think they
bring them ill-luck, too.
You could not guess how the petrel
sleeps. He first makes of himself q
feather ball and sits on the water, just
as your canary does on his perch.
Why doesn't he sink? Because his
feathers are so oily he can't.
These birds grow so fat that, to the
poor islanders. in very cold countries
they a'e invaluab e. After they are
dead, a wick is drawn through their
bodies and set On fire, aud you can
hardly believe how we'll this queer
kind of lamp lights up their simple
nuts.
The petrol never goes on shore ex'
cept to build her nest, which is hidden
snugly away between rocks, or in the
sand. There she lays her one egg
and brings up her baby. All day the
petrol lives on the water, but she never
forgets at night to feed it.
Sometimes they are called "Mothel
Carey's chickens" If you ever &c
across the water, you may see them
some day.

The Dollar OF our Daddies.

The silver dollar, which ia again
disturbing element in the financia
prosperity of the country, seems tt
have had q lot of trouble in its days
and generation, and 1t Is now getting
back at the United States treasury
with alarming persistency. Some

The first silver dollar was put in cir
culation in 1904.
"It WIS a crude design" says his
torian. "On the DIVERSE or face OF the
coin was imprinted the head of 8
Young lady facing to the right: Hel
hair was flowing tosuch an extent that
she looked as as if taken in gale OF
wind"
In 1895 Congress stepped in to the
aid of the typical damsel and tied her
hair up with bit of ribbon.
The fifteen stars were after this re-
duced TO the original thirteen in reco'
milton of the number Of States.
In 1886 the design was again chang.
ed, and the silver dollar bore the full
figure of neatly dressed woman in
flowing garment. The designer for
got, however, to put in the thirteen
stars and the coin was soon called In.
ANY person now in possession OF one
of those dollars has valuable souvenir.
The new design had the lady sur
rounded by the stars. 1t was an inn
provement on its predecessor but the
air of the female figure was defint
and stiff.
The dollar of 1888 was the first artis-
tic piece of silver coined by the Unit
ed States mint.
On April %, 1854, the first dollar
having the legend, "In God we trust, "
was coined.
In 1873 the era of the trade dollar of
ono fineness began. That troublesome
dollar ran its erratic course in just five
years :,
In 1873 the liberty dollar made its
appearance. Miss Anna w. Williams.

profile being then considered the most
