The Modern Romans.

Under the slanting light of the yellow sun of October, Close by the side of the car-track, a gang of Dagos'' were working. Pausing a. moment to catch a note of their liquid Italian, Faintly heard an echo of Rome's inn perial accents, Broken-down forms of Latin words
 from the Senate and Forum, Now smoothed over by use to the musl-
 cal lingua Romano. Then the thought came. why, these are
 the heirs of the conquering
 Romans; These are the sons of the men who
 founded the Empire of Caesar; These are they whose fathers carried
 the conquering eagles Over "all Gaul" and across the sea to
 ultima Thule; The race-type persists unchanged in
 their eyes and profles and figures, Muscular, short, and thick-set, with
 prominent noses, recalling "Romanes rerum dominos, gentemque
 togatam." See, Labineus is swinging a pick with
 rhythmical motion; Wonder one pushing the shovel might
 be Julius Caesar, Lean, deep-eyed, broad-browed, and
 bald, a man of a thousand; Further along there stands the jolly
 Horatius Flaccus; Grim and grave, with rings in his
 ears, see Cato the censor. On the side of the street in proud and
 gloomy seclusion. "Bossing the job," stood a a.Celt-the
 race enslaved by the legions, Sold in the markets of Rome to meet
 the expenses of Caesar, And, as I loitered, the Celt cried out,
 "Warruk ye Dagos," "Full up yer shovel, Paythro ye hay
 then. I'll dock yees quarther." This he said to the one who resem-
 bled the great Imperator; Weekly, the dignified Roman kept on
 patiently digging Such are the changes and chances the
 centuries bring to the nations. Surely the ups and downs of the world
 are past calculation. "PossibIy, ,"-thus I thought to myself,
 --"the yoke of the Irish May in turn be lifted from us-in the
 tenth generation. Now the Celt is on top, but time may
 bring his revenges, Turning the Fenian down, once more
 to be "bossed by a Dago." +-C. F. JOHNSON in Hartford Cour- ant.

| The ancient and interesting question,
 who was the man In the iron mask? l appears to be satisfactorily answered
 III the last number of La Revue Histor-
 ique by Gabriel Monod and Charles
 Bemont, who decide in favor of the | theory advanced by Lord Dover sixty years ago, that he was Mattioli, the Secretary of the Duke of Mantua. They have found the order of arrest dated April 2S, 1879. and the lnstruc- tions that he be confined in Pinerolo. An Italian pamphlet of the time gives an account of the arrest, and says that Mattioli was masked. The register of the Bastie contains the entry. "On Thursday, September IS, 1889, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, NJ. de Saint Mars. governor of the castle of the Bastile, arrived to take up his duties, coming from his post at the Hes Sainte Marguerite, and having brought with him in his litter a former prisoner whom he had in his custody at Pignerol. The latter he keeps invariably masked and his name is never mentioned" M. de Saint-Mars, in the years in question, had only five prisoners in his charge at Pignerol. The fate of four has been clearly traced, the fifth must be Mat tioli. The prisoner died in 17O3 and was buried on November 30 in the Ceme- tery of St. Paul. M Bertrand of the French Foreign Office has examined the register of burials, and finds the name of Mattioli under that date. Louis XIV. told Mime. de Pompadour that the prisoner was an Italian min ister; Louis XVI. assured Marie An tionette, on the authority of Maure- pas, that the man was a dangerous intriguer, a subject of the Duke of Mantua, who had been arrested at the frontier and imprisoned first at Pig nerol and then in the Bastile. The evidence seems conclusive, and puts an end to all other theories, including Voltaire's bold invention that the man in the iron mask was suppressed brother of Louis XIV, which Dumas has taken up and immortalized in his Three Guardsmen" romances. Mat tioli's crime was giving information to Austria, Spain, Savoy, and Venice of negotiations into which Louis XIV. had entered with him, to induce him to sell the important fortress of Casale to the French.

 For morning robes the Empire mod els are always acceptable, but the deed can be done as daintily by other pat terms. One of these is depleted in this picture. Here the robe Is of pale blue and white striped pongee made prin- cess with one dart in each front. The fronts are held in place by an odd belt of white satin ribbon, and the garni- ture consists of lace breteIles, a jabot of the same and lace frills on the sleeves. The back IS fitted.

FIyANCIAI.

A few years ago when there was
 money to burn" e neat financial trick
 was extensively played. In order to ai-
 lay whatever little hesitation about
 burning their money some people might
 have guarantee" was given them
 that they could get their money back
 after they had burned 1t. This trick
 was especially efficient in the matter
 of western mortgages. Companies with
 gilt-edgcd names and gilt-edged direc-
 tors made their appearance prepared
 to guarantee all creation if they were asked to. And between them they did
 guarantee most of the part of creation
 west of the Mississippi river in the United States of America. This gener- ous and self-sacrifclng action was greatly appreciated by thousands who had not taken the thirty-third degree in human nature and who had not lost faith in the ability of company to do that It's advertisements and Its agents might say 1t could do. But alas for the hopes Of men. It became plain after awhile that a guarantee" when tested must have something to sustain 1t except wind. So there has been great trouble and loss. and though doubtless the pleasure Is as great of being cheated as to cheat" 1t will be some months before those who have been allowed to discover what a guar antee really is will want any more of the kind of pleasure they have found in the process.
 The pleasures and the usefulness of the guarantee are called to mind by an auction sale which took place in New York the other day It was a sale of on properties in nine south ern and eight northwestern and Pacific coast States, and somewhat more than B, 900, 900 were realized, which was about 65 per cent. of their par value. There were 3,200 mortgages, and 175 parcels of land that had been obtained oy foreclosures, sold. The loans on .hese properties had been made by the Equitable Mortgage company of Kan sas, which had turned off all these to the American Loan and Trust company to secure the payment 70 its debenture bonds. In 1890 the lat .er company failed, and the Supreme court of New York transferred the to the New York Security md Trust company. In September, 1893, the Equitable Mortgage company 'ailed, and its affairs were turned over to receivers The debenture holders .hen called upon the New York Securi- .y company to sell those securities and n compliance with that demand the sale was ordered.
 So the holders of these debenture bonds may in the end get half the mon- ay they put into them back. And this will make them feel twice as well as they once expected to.

FOOTBALL FORETERI

In times of political decay and civic corruption hope is kept alive in the hearts of the faithful by the crop ping out here and there of indications that all is not lost and that society has still a spark of heavenly fire in it, which, under favorng conditions, will grow into 8 cheering and purify ing blaze. So when, as at the present time, the grandeur and the heroism of football do not appear to be appre- ciated as they ought to be and when many puny and futile persons are ar guing that great institutions of learn ing do not we'll to make football teams their chief representatives, it is pleas ing to notice that there Is at least one place in this broad land where foot ball has due consideration and where the lessons of strength and va1or 1t teaches are properly understood. This place is Grand Rapids, Michigan, a busy town, and town where the true idea of national greatness evidently prevails. The freshmen football eleven of the University of Michigan played lie Grand Rapids high school team in Grand Rapids yesterday and the Park Congregational church postponed it's Thanksgiving service until evening so that the sundAy school leader and many packers of the home team who belong to the church could attend the game.
 This is something like. How it puts to shame those pusillamous ones who have protested against giving football precedence of mere learning. In Grand Rapids they put it ahead of religion, and by so doing greatly hearten those who are bravely standing against the apparent decay of public sentiment and the weakening of the people. Brace up, brethren of Yale and else where who find in football the germ of all true manliness and the safety of the country, Line up. all of you. We will slug the life out of the weddings who want to destroy the national strength and we will kick the stuffing out of those who favor 1e discourage ment of patriotic Yalor. Football for ever!

Perhaps we have had hard times, but the women seem to be dressing all the more magnificently for it. The truth is that while velvets, satins and fine ma terials have come down in prices, cheaper goods are really no more req sonable, so it is wise woman who now goes in for rich stuffs. And most women seem to be as wise now as they ever were. The very best way to make up the brocade that is bought more be- cause the purchaser knows she will never have such a chance again, than because she really needed a brocade gown, is in the Empire styles.

The advent of settlers is not thinning out the partners, wolves. and coyotes. and the anin als are increasing greatly in num- bers through the plenty of food af- Corded by the vast herds of cattle and sheep.

Miss Alice Stone Blackwell who has taken q deep interest in the Armenians who have come to this country, says that in Massachusetts alone there are now 2,oOO Armenians, of whom $50 are in Worcester, $50 in Boston and Cam bridge, 250 in Lawrence, 200 in Lynn, 15O in Lowell, 80 in Fall River, 50 each in Maiden and Salem, 40 in Watertown, 30 In Haverhil, 20 each in Attleboro, Brighton and New Bedford, 35 in the cities of the Connecticut valley, and about 100 scattered here and there in the rest of the State. She thinks it mistake to say that they come chiefly from Europe and Africa; on the con- trary, they are mostly from Asia, and about half of them from the single re- zion of Harpoot and vicinity--the spe- cial field of the American missionaries anG the seat of Euphrates college, where Arnlenians are educated under Protes- tant influences as they long have been at Robert college in Constantinople.
