Washington, May lathe effort
being made in the West to have Ad-
miral Dewey return by way OF San
Francisco is being supplemented here.
The representative of one Of the large
transcOntinental lines called at the
navy department today and stated
that if Admiral Dewey returned by
way of San Francisco his railroad pro-
posed to place at his service an entire
train, the finest that ever crossed the
continent, and make it subject to his
wishes as to the places and time of
stops on the way east. It was urged
also that this would give practically
the whole country an opportunity to
join in the reception OF the hero of Ma-
Mia, instead of restricting it to the
stIeach between New York and Wash
ington.

The Army Canton Flannel society.

The annual meeting of the Army Canton
Flannel Society will be held at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Parker. 1915 NJ street. Thurs
day, November at IL o'clock. All army
ladies are cordially invited to attend.
This society is composed entirely of army
women, and, though young in years and
few in numbers. has done much to relieve
the distress of the destitute. The tax upon
each member is light, % cents year, and
two garments is all that is requested There
is only one meeting during the year, when
the report of the work of the preceding
year is read and dues paid. The garments
will be received the day of the meeting
any time during the month following. One
hundred new warm garments were sent to
the Associated Charities for distribution,
half as many more were distributed by
members of the society, over a hundred
given to the Army and Navy Chapter, d.
A. R., for the needy fami les of soldiers
serving in the Philippines and our other
possessions. Thus has the aid been far
reaching and so cheerfully extended Let
tiers of thanks and appreciation have been
received from many sources, and ii is the
hope of the management that even a more
generous response will be given this year,
as the calls for aid will increase as the cold
weather approaches.

without a squadron of men at arms at
his back. He would have made a fine
prize for the robber barons beyond
Brie: for kings went high in those
days, and Paris would have paid a
good round ransom to get her king
back again.
The grandson of this Louis, who
spent his whole life in fighting robber
barons from his doorsteps, was the ia
fous Philip Augustus, who so outwitted
and outgeneraled the English John
Lakeland, and who, by Selling John s
vast possessions on the continent, laid
the foundations of the modern French
monarchy. Paris shared all the giories
of the expanding monarchy. and soon
began to assume a dignity and splendor
worthy the capital of so great a
monarch. In the reign of Philips father,
Louis VII, the heavier Roman archi-
lecture began to give way to the grace
full pointed arch of the Gothic. In 1853
Pope Alexander III was invited to lay
the first stone of Notre Dame de Paris.
1t took sixty years. however, to COM
plete the noble structure; but then that
was rapid work in those days. when,
if kings had not much conscience,
builders had, and plumbers were I'M
known. The building has been repair
ed and modified and restored many
times since. Philip Augustus had the
true Parisian's love for the city, ana
seldom quilted it, save for his military
expeditions. 1t was he who gave orders
for the paving of the city. though 1t
still had to wait for street lamps until
the sixteenth century. Once, however,
during the reign of the imperial Philip.
it is upon record that for seven days
and nights the streets were so illumi-
mated that no man could tell where
day left off or night began. The Oc-
casion was the famous victory of Philip
at Bovines, when, single-handed, he
met and crushed the allied armies of
Germany, England and Flanders; for
even so early had the bloody game of
European politics begun to assume
forms so we'll known in later ages. 1t
was a very glorious day, and Paris.
in true Partisan style. went mad, joy
drunk this time. Tens of thousands of
tapers CLEANED from the windows of
the houses; pitch torches and pitch bar
rels blaZed in the streets. and gigantic
bonfires from the public squares. Thus
loyal Paris gave its first recorded il
Illumination to its kings returning from
the overthrow of the first European
coalition against France. But Philip
was not only a victorious general; he
was also an organizer and builder. For
his rapidly expanding kingdom he ere
ated a vast administrative machine,
the headquarters of which he fixed at
Paris. and thus not only materially in
