VIENNA, Aug. 18.-EmperOr Fran
els Joseph is celebrating his seventy
sixth birthday today and the entire
monarchy is celebrating the day with
him. 1t is safe to say that there is
probably not another ruler in the
world who is so generally loved and
respected as Emperor Francis Joseph.
His unvarying kindness and gener-
osity, his deep religious nature and
his simplicity of character have en-
deared him to his subjects and the
tragic events, which have darkened the
first fifteen years of his life have won
for him the sincere sympathy of his
people.
In Difference to the wishes of the
emperor the celebration of his birth
day was not of a spectacular nature
In the morning services Of thanks
giving were held in all the churches
Of the city and throughout the coun-
try. Special services were held at the
chapel in the Hofburg, at ST. Stephens
and at the church of st. Augustine.
All the churches were crowded with
spectators The city was handsomely
decorated, with that exquisite taste
for the artistic and picturesque which
characterizes all such public demon
STATIONS in the old city. The most
spectacular feature Of the day was the
annual birthday review Of the Vienna
garrison. There was no other public
demonstration. Business was practi-
cally suspended and the good burghers
of Vienna devoted themselves to pleas
ure. Hundreds of thousands went to
the Prater, where the usual attrac-
tons awaited them. Others went on
excursions to points in the beautiful
surroundings of the city In the even
ing there will be a general illumina-
ton and fireworks in the Prater.

PAUL JONES WAS OFFENDED

SEA FIGHTER KNOCKED ENEMY DOWN
THEN TRIED TO FRAME UP A
DUEL IN WHICH REAL
FIGHTING WOULD COME.

Near Norfolk, Virginia, within sight
of Sewell's Point, where next year will
be held the jamestown Ter-Centennial
Exposition concentrating the birth of
the nation at Jamestown in 1907, is
a severe British repulse in the war
of 1912, and still earlier as a favor
tie duelling ground of Virginia gentle
men. John Paul Jones, America
greatest sea-f1ghter, on several oc-
casions proposed to fight out differen-
ces of opinion on the island. For some
reason, however, none of his chal-
lengeS was accepted.
The last occasion upon which Adj
miral Jones invited any one to meet
him on Craney Island according to the
provisions of the knightly code was in
connection with his challenge of Lieu
tenant Parker of the Royal navy in
1774.
Paul Hit Him.
On his way back from a short trip
to his plantation on the bank of the
Rappahannock, Jones had stopped for
a few days in Norfolk. He was invit-
ed to a ball in the city and found sew
eral officers of the royal navy in at
tendance. Among them was Lieuten-
ant Parker, a relative Of Admiral Sir
Peter Parker, who afterwards at
tackled Fort Moultrie, off Charleston.
Between the dances the gentlemen
discussed the probabilities of a rup-
ture with England on account of the
provisions of the stamp act In the
course of the discussion, Lieutenant
Parker made a disparaging remark
concerning the women of Virginia.
Jones promptly knocked aim down.
Parker was dragged away by his
friends. Jones retired to a tavern and
through his friend Granville Hurst
sent word to Parker that he would
gladly meet him with pistols at ten
PAGES On Craney Island, at the lieu
tenants convenience
Declared No Contest.
No answer to this communication
was received and Jones, though eager
to fight had to be satisfied with the
punishment he had already admins
tered to Parker 1t is said that the
British officers Of the little squadron
to which Parker was attached, to a |
man, refused to act as his second in |
the affair, declaring that he had be-
haved disgracefully and deserved the |
treatment he had received at the |
hands of Jones. Parker soon after
ward left Norfolk
The ladies of Virginia made a hero
of Jones for the prompt manner in
which he had taken up the lieutenant's
remark. This was the last occasion
Jones ever figured in any way in this
country as duellist. The next year
