FIND FOUNDATION OF
CHURCH BUILT IN EARLY
CHRISTIAN DAYS

Amalfi founded about the year $40,
as a refuge for western pilgrims, were
situated due south of the holy sepul-
cher, about a stones throw away. The
first church was built in honor of st.
Mary de Latinis and the second, the
ruins Of which have now been found,
in honor of st. John the Baptist. The
French monk Bernard, who lived
there in $40, highly praised the hos
pitaiity and the large library of the
hospice. A Mohammedan historian
says it was destroyed by the Khalif
Hakem and rebuilt shortly afterward,
while according to another account it
prospered down to the time of King
Baldwin of Jerusalem, from 100 to
Ills, when the two communities Of
st. Mary and st. John adopted the lat
ter as their joint protector This was
the origin of the Knights of st. John.
The remains now discovered, there
fore, are the ruins of the cradle of
this order. 1t it most unfortunate that
the preservation of these very inter-
esting remains seems impossible. ow-

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

It seems positive, now that Tim Muir
ply has revived his comedy "Old In
rocence,' that there is a dearth of plays
for stars for if Murphy could find the
vehicle, he should be touring the coun-
try in a different part than that of
Jason Green" though the delightful
old character affords him just the OPP
portunities he requires.
Not since Murphy has been starring
has he been what the business end of
the theater calls a money maker"
Everywhere that Murphy has played he
has been praised and the audiences have
decided that a new comedian worthy to
succeed Sol Smith Pussell in "A Poor
Rela tom or Joseph Jefferson as Bob
Acres has been found. New York dis
covered that Murphy was a real actor.
The west knew that long before. and
still Murphy has not been a great fin
ancial success until this season.
Murphy makes the most of the part
of the trusting and lovable old man
who was a fool yesterday but a philos-
opher today when he begins to suspect
everyone. Murphy can bring a tear or
a sigh or a laugh if he has the oppor-
tunity.
Dorothy Sberrod. who is Mrs. Murphy,
and who is capable OF carrying the fe-
male part and share the honors with
her husband has nothing at all to do
as Mrs Green She can only wear
three very pretty dresses and give the
audience an linking of her ca pa bilities.
The part that is rushed to the front is
that of Flint Green" the sordid man of
business, played by j. r. Armstrong.
There were wrea-- spots in the cast
and very weak spots at that. For in
stance C. s. Steadman as Frank Good
friend was positively bad He even
stumbled over some of his lines and AL
bert Earle as ''Ben" was little better
Miss Louise Whitfield as Olive the
daughter, could scarcely be heard but
it may have been because she had at
tended the football game and was
hnarse with shouting.

FLED By FIRE ESCAPE.
The Broad Street Murder Too Much
for a French Canadians Nerves.

New York, Oct a.-Broadway traffic
was brought to a standstiI in the neigh
berhood of Bowling Green yesterday
noon by the sight of a hatless man sliding
swiftly down fire-escape rope from a
fourth floor window of the stevens House.
Don't shoot me! Don't shoot me-" he
yelled.
When he landed he ran across the street
and disappeared. A policeman ran into
the hotel office. He learned that the man
was C. D. Jaques, French Canadian. who
had registered from Woodstock, Vt, on
Friday afternoon and had been put in
room 49, In the room there was nothing
more startling than a much-rumpled but
unopened bed and some extras containing
descriptions of the Broad street tragedy
Just then Jacques came back and ex-
planned that he had been to the offices of
the Munson Line to buy passage for Cubs.
When pressed, he told Day Clerk Seldner
that he had fallen asleep the night before
while reading about the tragedy, and when
the bellboy knocked on his door had been
dreaming of being murdered. While still
half asleep he had fled by the rope.
Then he got his hat, picked up his grips
and started for Cuba

BOGUS g ART TREASURES. J"
Experts Say Most American Buyers
in London Have Been Victimized.

London. Oct IA well known expert
on standard works of art recently re-
ceived an offer of a large fee to go to
the United States to value and criticise
certain collections of wealthy Ameri-
cans. He asked to be excused. and the
real reason for his REFUSAL he explained
privately was the fact that IF l gave
my honest opinion, it would seriously
offend my clients as well as certain we'll
known London Dealers
In other words, it is notorious that i'm
mense quantities of worthless or spuri-
Gus art treasures have been unloaded
on wealthy American collectors, espe-
eially during the past two years. 1t is
even said by those who ought to know
that Messrs. Morgan, Walters and Wild
ener are the only ones among the large
purchasers who have not been badly
