Inquiry at the army ordnance de-
partment soon developed the history
of this particular gun. It is 30 inch
light field gun, and. as the inscription
indicates, was made at Watervliet
armory in 1898, and was inspected by
Capt. John w. Joyes, Ordnance Corps.
October II, 1904. that gun-No. 209-
was by order of Gen. Crozier. chief Of
ordnance, shipped from Manila to
Picking for the use of the American
Legation Guard there. When last Aug
ust that guard was relieved by a small
force of marines Gen. Crozier recon-
mended that the gun be sent back 10
Manila. So it was probably placed on
the Thomas at Nagasaki when she
touched on her eastward trip and viii

transport returns.

INDIVIDUALITY OF A CITY.

1t was not until recent years that a
man in Mr.. Robinson's profession
could expect to get the ear of NUM-
cipal bodies, but his own writings on
civic improvements as we'll as the writ
ings of others interested in an art of
which he seems to be thE high priest
have aroused interest and there is
pretty likely to be at least one man
around when municipal Improvements
are contemplated to insist that while
such improvements are being made
they might as well be made pleasant
to the eye.
Mr.. Robinson's- invitation to Denver
follows directly upon his work at Colo
RADIO Springs, which attracted atten
ton throughout the West. In his re-
port to the city of Colorado Springs
as good an insight of the character of
the work which he does as could be
gained in any other way is given. It
is his custom to study a city, its indi-
viduality he calls it, and consider what
will best give expression to that in
dividuality. In his report to Colorado
Springs he says:
Colorado Springs is not and does
not aspire to be. a manufacturing city;
it is not a great trading center, and it
is not a capital city. Its two great
assets are its air and its scenery; the
one notable for its Iife-giving quail
ties, the other for the inexhaustiole-
ness of its beauty and grandeur. To
be a pleasure and health resort. is
therefore, its destiny; and to be the
Mecca of the beauty lovers. the travel

Yankee GUN FOUND
At PORT ARTHUR

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, December
16.-The army transport Thomas. just
arrived from the Orient, brought home
a piece of artillery which originally be-
longed 10 the United States, but which
was found in the possession Of the
Russian forces at Port Arthur when
the Japanese captured that stronghold.
The government of Japan, when it dis
covered the ownership of the gun, turn
ed it over to United States Minister
Griscom, who shipped it from Maya
saki. consigned to the arsenal at BENZ
cha. The field piece is stamped inside
the barrel, "Watervliet arsenal, 1898.

The military authorities here are now
wondering how this particular gun
got into the hands of the Russians.

multftudes of the East across the roll

try. to drink their fill of it's marvellous
| scenery, instead of crossing tempest
uOus seas to mountains that are no

So, because Colorado Springs was an
out-of-door city, attention was GEN.
tered upon the streets, many of which
are 40 feet wide, and upon the parks,
whose beauty is expected to increase
as the transplanted trees and shrubs
develop.
SOME SIMPLE AIDS TO BEAUTY.
Mr. Robinson has advised as to the
better methods of cultivating its nat
ural beauty, and the Society for the
Beautifying of Buffalo. an organiza-
ton that is endeavoring to influence
outdoor art, has had Mr.. Robinson in
that city for consultation. He suggest
vertisements, pictorial and scare let
ters, be removed from the bicycle racks
that are the most conspicuous articles
in Main street; that the crude, bare
electric light signs that flash out at in
tervals and then become black be pro-
hibited, and that the bnlboards, prom
inent on all streets. be suppressed. Mr..
Robinson has advised with art COM
missioners in Boston as to public i'm
provements.
AS a result of his work in Syracuse,
that city seems to have taken on new
zeal for public improvements and for
permanent Identification of parks and
streets and the natural beauty places
surrounding it.
Mr.. Robinson has written much, in
Guiding the two books mentioned, I'm
provements of Town and Cities" and
Modern Civic Art and numerous
magazine articles. including a series on
outdoor art abroad TO obtain material
for which he was sent to France, Bel
GUM and England by Harper Broth
ers. the series afterward appearing in
Harper's Magazine, beautifully illus
trated.
Mr.. Robinsons activity for civic i'm
provement has been such that he has
attracted to himself the attention of
societies for civic Improvement every
where. and he himself does not know
of how many such organizations he is |
an honorary member. He was secre- |
tary for two years of the American
Park and Outdoor Association, record |
ing secretary of the American League |
for Civic Improvements, organizer and |
first secretary of the National Alliance |
of Civic Organizations, member of |
the National Committee of Nine of the |
League of America on |
Civic Improvement, a life member OF
the American Civic Association, a cor
responding member of the Twentieth
Century Club of Boston, an honorary
member of the Public Parks Associa-
ton of Providence, and an honorary
of Scapa. an English society.

The Rochester Democrat and Chron-

The Rochester Democrat and Chron-
icIe says:
To Rochester belongs the honor of
having one of the first authorities on
civic art in this country, Charles Null
ford Robinson, whose advice is sought
by the greatest of American cities, and
who has just been called from Homo
lulu to advise with a younger branch
of the American people as to how to
beautify the already beautiful Hawai-
ian capital.
This invitation to Mr.. Robinson
comes through the president of Oahu
College, in Honolulu. After reading
Mr. Robinson's books, Improvements
of Towns and Cities" and Modern
Civic Art" the college president con-
ferred with the Honolulu Board of
Supervisors and the Art Association
of Honolulu, and devised plan where
by certain projected public improve
ments should be made on lines laid
down by a specialist. Mr.. Robinson
calls himself a civic adviser" It is
in this capacity that he will go to Ho-
nolulu. Honolulu has a park system,
and several of its smaller parks are
cially beautiful. The city has been
called the Paradise of the Pacific, and
the city fathers are to make of it
paradise whose beauty none shall for
called upon to give advice as to beauti-
flying and changing of city streets.
Appropriation has been made by the
Honolulu Board of Supervisors for the
proposed work, and directly after the
New Year Mr.. Robinson will make the
trip and consider the possibilities of
giving new beauties to a place where
nature and climate conspire to give
the greatest Iuxuriance of flower and
forest A part of the proposed park
system will front on that strip of beach |
whose beauty is a never ending mar |
vel to travellers
On the way to Honolulu Mr.. Robin |
son will stop at Denver on the invi- |
-ation of Robert Speer, mayor of Den |
yer, and Henry Read, chairman of the |
Art Commission of the City and Coun-
-y of Denver, and advise as to the bet
ter way of giving permanent beauty

ments that Denver is about to under

TROY, n. Y, December 16.-Ex-Maj.
McNutt, commanding officer of the
Watervliet arsenal. was seen today re-
lative to the dispatch from San Fran
cisco stating that a United States gun
had been taken from the Russians at
Port Arthur. He said that the gun
was constructed at the Watervliet ar
senal in 1898, and was inspected by
Capt. J. w. Joyes, inspector of gum
merry who was stationed at the arsen-
al during that year. Maj. McNutt was
somewhat puzzled as to how the Rus
sian army had come in possession of
the gun. He said that probably the
gun was taken by the Russian soldiers
by mistake during the Boxer uprising
in China in 1902, as at that time Amer
lean soldiers with pieces Of artillery
together with Russian soldiers, assist
ed in protecting American citizens in
China. Maj. McNutt said that this
statement is unofficial, and that all he
learned of the matter is what he had
read in the newspapers. The piece of
artillery referred to was shipped from
the Watervliet arsenal to Sandy Hook
testing grounds in 1899.

At the court of Japan she repeated the

this hot flame. In few months the

The widowed countess, lovelier than

so extraordinary swindle that 1t will
doubles become historic. A woman,
Nine. Therese Rumbert, was at the
head of this. She was born on a small
farm near Toulouse. She married the
son of senator who was supposed to
inherit a large fortune. On the
strength OF this she began to borrow
small sums of money whenever she
was in difficulty. But the story was
disproved and she found herself deep
ly in debt 1t was then that she lis.
vented her famous story of the Craw-
ford millions. She stated that in 1877
there died at Nice a rich American by
the name of Robert Henry Crawford,
leaving Therese his entire fortune of
s20,000.000, in recognition of the fact
thst few years before she had saved
his life.

she take more care. She listened to
him, her head erect, her eyes flashing,
and then, drawing revolver, shot him
dead.
She was not arrested and lived on

the south was not lively enough for
her. She hungered for a wider field.
Going to Paris, she at once became
the center of a throng of admirers.
Her type, unknown to Parisians, fas-
cinated the Count Pourtales, a noble
who was prominent as diplomat. by
marrying him she bounded at one leap
into the atmosphere she craved--an
atmosphere of intrigue among men
and women of intellect. Her husband
