H9ayhouses That Flourished In An
client Greece and Rome. ay}yt
You may wonder what there could
be injurious to public morality in a
theater made Of stone. Consul P. Cor
nelius Scipio Naseia knew, but history
doesn't tell. The first attempt to build
a stone theater in Rome was made
short time before he was elevated to
his Office. It was sanctioned by, the
censors and was nearing completion
when Scipio persuaded the senate to
command it to be pulled down, ad.
vancing as his reason solicitude for
public morality.
The Romans did not possess q regu-
lar stone theater until very late pc
Rod, and, although dramatic repre-
sensations were very popular in early
times, it appears that wooden stage
was created when necessary and was
afterward pulled down again, and the
plays Of Plautus and Terence were
performed on such temporary scaffold-
ings. In the meanwhile many of the
neighboring towns of Rome had their
stone theaters, as the introduction of
Greek customs and manners was less
strongly opposed in them than in the
city of Rome itself. Wooden theaters,
adorned with the most profuse mag
nificence, were erected at Rome even
during the last period Of the republic.
A magnificent wooden theater plan.
ned by Nj. Emilius Scaurus was built
In his adileship So B. G. Its" scena
consisted of three stories, and the low.
er of them was made Of white marble
the middle one of glass and the upper
one Of gilt wood. The cavea contained
$4,000 spectators. In IS B. c. On. Pom
pey built the first stone theater at
Rome, near the Campus Martius. 1t
was Of great beauty and is said to have
been built after the model of that of
Lytilene. 1t contained 10000 specta.
tors.
C. Curio built in so B. G. two magnif
icent wooden theaters close by one an.
other, which might be changed into
one amphitheater. After the time of
Pompey, however, other stone theaters
were erected, as the theater Of Mar.
cellus, which was built by Augustus
and called after his nephew Marcellus,
and that of Balbus, whence Suetonius
used the expression, "Per trina thea

She then stepped into the water, d.
vested herself of her clothes of pure

her ablutions, came out of the water
and, unassisted, walked three times
round the pile, followed by the priests
and her friends, who at this period APP
peared to be more urgent and loud In
their discourse to her to distract her
attention. She then, unassisted, mounted
the pile, laid herself down by the side
Of her husband and put his head under
her arm, turning herself toward him.
Then they sprinkled large quantities

While the men were standing around
wondering what to do the rancher's
sixteen-y ear-old daughter came out Of
the house and calmly walked up to the
excited animal.
When he saw her he ceased rearing,
whinnied and stood still. She just put
her hand on his name, stroked his nose
and then vaulted lightly on his back
and rode around the yard, to the
auazement Of the men.

1As First Of These Vehicles Was
Built In 1457.
As popular as coaching is in some
parts Of the country, but little reliable
Information has ever appeared in the
public press respecting its history and
development. At the town of Kotze, in
Hungary, in 1857, the first coach was
constructed. This was soon afterward
presented to Charles VII. at Paris. The
first authentic record of a stagecoach
In England shows that six Of such
vehicles were in use there in 1862. So
popular did they become in that coun-
Try that a few years later they were in
general use ON all the principal roads
Of the kingdom. -. ri
Steam railways have to 4 large ex
tent done away with the use Of the
coach as link in the commercial chain,
but as q means Of furnishing the high

girl she went through serious illness
which made 1t necessary to cut her hair
short. Her younger sister said she was

OPPOSED BY TROOPERS
CAvALRYMEN DO NOT WANT TO
 CAMP IN BIRMINGHAM.
Thy Recall Financial Troubles There and Crave Privilege of Going to Camp as an Independent
 Body.

The First Cavalry Squadron of the Alabama National Guard desires to camp elsewhere than in Birmingham and to camp other than in a brigade. A movement to make a change in the camp program so far as 1t affects the cavalry has been started.
 The movement mas been quietly made and the officers and men who are behind 1t are not known but 1t is known that many of both the officers and the men would welcome change in the program which would permit the cavalry to camp out of BtrminE- ham and to camp as an independent body.
 There is small hope, practically none at all, that the movement will succeed. It is understood that State officials have informed inquiring cavalrymen that there will be no change in the program as decided upon in the meet ing of the officers.
 The objection of the cavalrymen to Birmingham is due to a recollection of their camp in that city two years ago, There was misunderstanding as to the accounts of the squadron, the statement being made that the squadron left Birmingham owing over s1.OO0 The justice of this indebted ness was denied by several of the of- ficers. They claimed that the account was filled with ovsrcharges and that 1t ought not to be paid.
 The cavalry squadron did not go into camp last summer. 1t Is understood because of the alleged indebtedness The indebtdness has been paid. but is is understood to be the reason of the reluctance of some of the officers oi the command to go into camp at Bir- mingham.
