What Century Is tt?

The best Interpretation we have
seen of this discussed problem is in
the position taken by French savant,
as follows:
When Christ came into the world
no one suspected the Importance of
his coming, nor the place which the
religion that he was to found would
take in the political history of nations.
The year of his birth passed unper-
ceived by the Romans as by the He
brews. Even the first century Of
Christianity and the second, third,
fourth and fifth had DO place in the
calendar.
1t was only in the year 532 that the
Christian era proposed by monk of
the Catholic church, born in Scythia,
named Dionysius. 1t was he who
constituted the Christian era. That
as has been seen, was in the sixth cen
fury.
He supposed that Christ vas born
on December 25th, in the year of
Rome, 753, and the year 754 of the
foundation of Rome became the first
of the Christian era.
This first year was not, therefore,
even in the idea of Dionysius. that of
the birth of Christ. Its beginning
was seven days posterior to his birth
The monk Dionysius made in his his.
torical researches mistake of ur
years, which can easily be verified, as
the date of the death Of Herod is &C.
curately known.
Christ was born in the year OF
Rome 749, not in 753 and died at the
age of 81, MT 80, and the whole Chris.
tan era is four years too young.
But it would certainly be inconven
lent to change it, although this mis-
take has been known for some cen.
turies.
But, whatever date he adopted for
the beginning of the Christian era
there was no year o
Therefore, the first year is the year
1. The tenth year is 10 aud the hun
dredth year of the first century is the
year. 100

fury will end.
The German theory is that the TWEEN

Need It At Home.

Hampton Chronicle: An Iowa SOL
der now in the Philippines writes home
that he has been converted by the
chaplain of the regiment, and wants
his friends to send statements of all
bills owed ty him, as he wants to pay
up. That is the kind of religious revi.
walls we would like to see started at
home. The president should order
that chaplain on duty in the United
States at once. and al effort to secure
his services in this place should BIZ
made.

ROB AN OLD SOLDIER.
CoIored Women Accused of Oar.
ing Hold up Arrested in
Rock Island.
WILLIAM MoRELLIs THE VICTIM.

Pleasant Valley Citizen Relieved of His
Pension Money On One OF Davenport's
Streets Last NIght-Mae Hamilton and
MabIe Shea, Alleged Robbers, Under Ar
rest-CharIes Miller Gets in Trouble.
Mae Hamilton and Ma5le Shea, col
ored women, accused of a daring
holdup in Davenport, were appre-
hended in this city last night few
hours after they had relieved William
McCrellis, an Old soldier of Pleasant
Valley, Iowa, of $40 at the corner of
Third and Rock Island streets, in the
town across the creek.
The women are unknown to the
Davenport police. They were new
arrivals there and were accompanied
by two colored men, whose names
are unknown, and who are believed to
have had a hand in planning the rob-
berry, but who are still at large.
The women after shaking down"
McCrellis for the remains of $3S
pen sion allowance which he went to
Davenport yesterday to secure, struck
out for Rock Island via the govern
ment bridge. Shortly after reaching
this side of the river they
were joined by two colored men.
The quartet was seen walking up
Fifth avenue about midnight. In the
meantime the Rock Island police re-
ceived telephone message from Dav-
export to arrest the women and their
companions. They were traced as
far east as the Rock Island depot by
Officers Morrison, Carnes aud Baker.
The women were finally located in
the basement of house several doors
west of the Rock Island depot. where
they were in hiding. They were
taken to the station and later turned
over to the Davenport authorities.
Cheap LubrIcatOr.
Charles Miller, of Moline, who yes
terday tried to sella $40 steam engine
lubricator at bargain to the Daven-
port Steam Heating company, is
locked up at the Rock Island Jail.
Miller claims he bought the lubricator
from a tramp. He is held on charge
of vagrancy and in the meantime the
police are trying to ascertain where
the lubricator came from.
Seven BurgIarIes Ia Moline.
Burglars entered seven stores in
Moline last night, but were poorly re-
paid for their trouble. All told, they
did not secure over $3.50 in money
and few articles of merchandise.
The places visited were: John VAIL
strands grocery, H. H. Parks hard
ware store. Peters grocery, Gustus'
and Mengle Bros. meat markets,
John Swanson's grocery, and Plam-
beck & Berglund's hardware store.
