The National Guard Of Maryland will
take possession when Uncle Sans SOL
diers step out and will use the fort as
drill ground and storehouse. The old
guns and relics will remain. The Stars
and Stripes will continue to float from
the old ramparts as they did on that
memorable September morning in 1914
when the rising sun, piercing the smoke
of battle during the bombardment OF
the fort by the British, disclosed them
to the delighted view of Key, impris-
oned on one of the British warships,
and inspired him to write The Star
Spangled Banner.
The second war of America against
the mother country was in progress
An English army had invaded and oc-
cupied Washington, and had burned
the national capitol. The British were
massing their land and sea forces for
other conquests, and as the fleet sailed
down the Potomac, DR.. William Beanes,
a prominent citizen Of Maryland, who
had been arrested in his home in Upper

PERSlA'S NEW SHAH.

He will Carry Out the Political Re-
forms of His Father.
The political reforms recently grant
ed in Persia by Muzaffar-el-Din, the
present Shah, who Is now critically
sick, will be continued by his son and
successor, Mohammed Ali Mira, who
is acting as regent during the indispo-
sition of his father This young man
is % years old and is liberal in his
views. His education was received in
Prussia, Frenchmen and Englishmen
being his tutors. He is literally in
clined and is regarded by those who
know him as a young man of great
promise.
1t is difficult to imagine popular suf-
frage in Persia, which has so long been
under autocratic sway. Nevertheless,
during the year the Shah issued de-
cree providing for a Parliament which
will frame a constitution for the king
dom and will meet annually hereafter
for the purpose Of revising old laws
and edicts and enacting new ones as
they may be required. Under this de-
cree all Persians Of the male sex able
to read and write, between the ages Of
30 and 20, who are not In the service
Of the State and who have never been
convicted Of a crime, are entitled to
vote for members of the Chamber Of
Deputies. This new Persian Parliment

Marlboro, charged with some petty Of
fense, was carried of a prisoner.
1t was to secure the liberation Of his
friend and neighbor that Francis Scott
Key obtained leave Of the President to
go to the British admiral, under a flag
Of truce He found the British fleet at
the mouth of the Potomac.
After considerable parleying, 1t was
finally determined that DR.. Beanes
should be released, but as an advance
on Baltimore was about to be made,
it was required that the Americans
should remain under guard on board
their own vessel until morning. That
night, Sept. IA, 1914, Key witnessed the
bombardment of Fort McHenry.
For long hours the cannonading con-
tinued. Suddenly it ceased; there was
no way for the impatient Americans to
tell whether the fort had surrendered
or whether the British had found the
bombardment in vain. They strained
their eyes, waiting for morning to dis
close whether or not the star-spangled
banner was still floating on the ram
parts of Fort McHenry.
When the blessed morning light dis
closed the flag still erect, Key, in an
outburst Of enthusiasm, dashed off his
poem, writing 1t on the back Of an en-
velope.

Things We Get from the Hog.

The hog Is a wonderful animal when
you come to sum him up and Is one Of
the fixed institutions of this country.
Someone once wittily described him as
q manufacturer of hams, lard, hair
brushes, head cheese, toothbrushes,
glue, buttons, fertilizer, fats, bacon,
knife handles, whistles, soaps, sauce,
sausage and satisfaction. AS a con-
denser, he beats the finest steam ma
chinery. He will put ten bushels Of
corn into less space than a bushel
measure. Corn loaned to hog Is cash
at good investment, safe and at a
large interest. He does what the an
cient alchemists never succeeded in do
ing by converting corn into coin, and
thus discovers the philosophers stone.

ing constitution is now under way.
Popular sentiment Is in favor of a lib
eral constitution and 1t may be ex-
pected that before long Persia will take
her place among the literally governed
countries of the world.
The Shah to whom Persia owes this
great reform ascended the throne In
1896 and up to the time OF granting
the right of a new constitution to his
people had been a most absolute ruler.
He was master Of the lives and prop
critics of his people The entire reve-
nues of the country were at his dis
posal and his wish was law in even the
most distant province. The change to
constitutionalism Is indeed revolution
ary and 1t Is matter of satisfaction
that the reforms projected by the faith
er will. In the event of his death, be
continued and confirmed by the son.

TURF ROMANCE is
RECALLED IN ENGLAND

London, Mar. 4.-Sir William Ram
sey sailed from here today for Asia
Minor to undertake on a much great
er scale than has hitherto been at
tempted; Investigations which are ex-
pected to throw much light on ancient
history. especially biblical history of
the time of Abraham. Extended work
Is made possible by Lord Strathcoma's s
gift of three thousand dollars n year
for five years. Sir William, in speak
ing of his expectations, says he has
been convinced for n long time and
thinks 1t will be practically demon
strated by the next great series of
discoveries, that Aryan history is to
be made in Asia Minor; that the peo-
pie among whom 1t is to be made are
the people called the Hittites and the
Bible, or the children of Heth, from
whom Abraham bought a piece of
land to make grave for his family.
Sill William says: II shall not be
satisfied until the document record
ing the sale of that piece of land is
discovered. II would be a clay tablet
but would be practically imperishable
and there are, thousands of those tab
lets recording sales of that kind
There is not the slightest doubt that
the sale OF that property was regis
tered at the time, and doubtless de-
posted in some Hittite temple for
preservation.

Nicholas Tchaykoysky, a revolution
airy leader, ana Alexis Aladyin, a
member of the first Duma, were the
principal speakers. Similar meetings
viii be held throughout the coun-
try. The Russians WEI appeal for
material aid in their cause and will
organize many branch societies. The
society at present is circulating a pc
titlon of protest against outrages in
Russia and obtaining signatures of
prominent persons. When completed
society decided Is the best use. I'VE be-
lieve there Is considerable sympathy
I'm this country for the Russians who
are fighting for freedom" said A.
Bullard secretary of the society. I'VE
hope to end the atrocities practiced
by the Russian government by pre-
venting them from floating loans. We
also hope to arouse foreign opinion,
which will compel the autocracy TO
refrain from similar outrages i'm the
future. This opinion will have the
same effect upon conditions as did
that which improved conditions in
Macedonia"

FAMOUS ENGLISH TURF
ROMANCE RECALLED

London, Mar. 4.-By the death OF
the MarchiOness of Hastings at Wind
sor, at the ripe age of "a, a famous
romance Of the turf is recalled. AS
Lady Florence Paget daughter of the
second Marquis of Anglessy the son
of cavalry leader at Waterloo, she
was famous for her beauty, and was
known as the pocket Venus" In
1864 she was engaged to Henry Chap
lin. One morning she drove with
him to a west end shop, and escaping
by another door ran away to be mar
ried to the Marquis of Hastings.
Three years later Mr.. Chaplin won the
derby with Hermit, an outsider, which
he backed at sc to l and won over
100000. Lord Hastings was ruined
by this race and he died the next
year. His widow married Sir George
Chetwynd in 1870, but she retained
her own title
