PAPAL LOrE In COiN
seeIEs THAT E&TEEDs OVER 4
THOUSAND YEARS.
Adrian l. the First Head OF Churc
70 Circulate Currency-Leo XIII.
Was the Last-Rare Types
Are illustrated.

MOI the least interesting OF the
pope's jubilee gifts was the unique
eold coin of Pope Innocent TX, which,
recently exhumed at Acqui, Italy, was
commended for by coin collectors, King
Victor Emmanuel being an unsuccess'
full competitor.
This coin, the only one in existence
of the reign of Innocent TX, was need
ed to make the Vatican collection OF
papal coins complete.
The papal coins exhibit the portraits
OF many of the popes and their coats
OF arms, and furnish metallic history
of the coinage of the church from the
FIRST issues in the latter part OF the
eighth century down to 1870, when the
papal states were annexed to Italy
and the papal mint ceased operations.
The papal series Of coins is n OF
the very longest, covering 1.136 years.
The first pope to issue coins was Al
rian !. The coins of Europe were n
largely in imitation of those OF the
Byzantine empire, whose gold byzants
were generally used throughout the
EOUllucuI, ALI luC SOIA VI
rian was a fair example of the coinage
of the times. 1t showed . full face
portrait, presumably of st. Peter, on
the diverse, surrounded by the inscrip
ton "Hadrianus p. p" and the cross
on the reverse, very much after the
style OF the Byzantine pieces.
Many of the early issues OF the
popes show the name Of the reigning
none and a representation of either
st. Peter or st. Paul. Perhaps no So
ries of coins shows a greater variety
OF design or more skillful execution.
The church, always a patron OF the
arts, employed the foremost artists
Of the time, and some of the coins
are from the hands of such men az
Cellini and Francia.
A gold scudo of julius H., the de-
sign of which IL credited to Francia,
shows a finely engraved portrait OF the
pope, with the inscription: Julius
Pontifex Maximus." A coin Of Alex
ander VII, attributed to Paolo, shows
on the reverse the crossed keys and
crown, perhaps one of the first Of the
papal coins to bear this device.
The coins OF the popes were struck
IN many places, including Rome, Bo-
1ogna, Avigncn, Perugia, Terni, San
6everino and Gaeta. One Of the inter-
esting pieces Of the Roman mint was
Q silver ducat q Clement VII. This
piece, irregular IN shape, was struck
IN 1897, when Rome Was in q state OF
siege. On the diverse are shown the
arms and title Of Pope Clement. with
the word "Ducato" inclosed BY .
wreath on the reverse. To this same
pope il credited a jubilee 1--WE sequin
piece in gold, struck in 1926. 1t Is not
unlikely that the latter piece was en-
ANraved by Cellin1.

Some Frenchman, with an imagina-

mechanical instinct that is marvellous,
has invented the latest circus thriller

Of the past ere in compsrison mere
child's play. The act has been named
"Autos That Pass in the Air." and
that is an accurate though brief de-
scription Of what takes place.
The invention vas perfected three
years ago. The two years since has
been spent by the inventor in search
lng for two people with nerve enough

Inventor had many applicants, for the

TELEPHONE RATEs

The question of an adjustment of
telephone rates by the appointment
of a commission. as stipulated In the
franchise of the Interstate Telephone
company, is simply compliance with
the contract. the results OF which
should be accepted by the public in
good faith. OF what value is an
arbitration board unless It's findings
are binding? The officers of the ln-
terstate company signify their will
ingness to submit the question OF
rates to arbitration as provided for
In the franchise, and the patrons of
the company insist that this be done.
The company has nothing to gain
from this. because 1t would not ask
to have its rates placed at higher
figure than the present charges.
which are now the same as those of
the Rocky Mountain Bell. and should
the commission fix a lower rate II
would have the effect of reducing

In that case there would be actual
competition and a gain for the pub
lie.
The argument is made by tele-
phone companies generally that with
the extension of their local exchanges
expenses are increased and It be-
comes necessary to charge subscrib-
ers higher rate for the service We
have never seen mathematical
problem of this kind worked out.
and do not know how 1t is figured,
but in all other branches the rule
has been that the greater the vol
ume of business done the cheaper

This case may be the exception to
the rule; II so and rates were to re-
main the same we would like to
know to what extent the business

ROYAL WELCOME FOR FLEET
California Hospitality VIII BE shown
Jolly Tars.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Feb. 20.
Whether frolic or a fight awaits
Admiral Evans upon the arrival of
the feet. much of the principal ac-
ton of the fleet will take place in
Santa Barbara channel. within view
OF this city.
Santa Barbara citizens, like those
of San Francisco, Los Angeles and
San Diego, assume that 1t will be a
frolic--for they haven't respect
enough for the Japanese to think of
fighting them and no one else has
been offered as possible foe. So
they are going ahead with prepare
tions for frolic. that will last from
the time the feet reaches San Diego
until II has passed away from the
coast of California.
In preparation for the coming of
the big fleet Admiral Swineburn late
ly was here with his squadron Of
cruisers from the Asiatic station,
and careful surveys of the shore line,
both of the mainland and the islands,
have been made, for the advantage
of the navigators of the battleships
and those that accompany them.
Japanese agents also have been
busy In the channel. Only the other
day the captain of a Pacific Coast
Steamship company packet found a
Japanese passenger In the act of TAX
ing series of photographs of the
islands and the mainland here.
Japanese passing themselves as
fishermen are known to have COM
pleted full drawings of the channel
shore lines and made soundings and
maps of the channel.
But 1t is not of war that the peo-
pie of Santa Barbara are thinking.
1t is festivity.
A flower festival, to be held in
April. when the fleet Is here, already
Is planned to the fullest detail A
committee. of which Stewart Edward
White, the novelist, is chairman. and
composed of artists whose winter
homes are here, is acting under d.
rection of Admiral McCalla's general
committee in planning the festival.
A floral parade will be one of the
features, and battle of flowers on
the Ocean boulevard, in front of
Plaza del Mar, where will be erected
a reviewing stand for Admiral Evans
and his officers.
A floral ball will be held at the
Potter hotel at which at least 1000
dancers may be on the floor at once.

was considerable skepticism about
the result among the principal en-
ployes Of the Douglas company. But
the result showed almost an imme-
date Improvement in business,
which is now averaging more than
last year during these unusually dull
months.
Thus the business sagacity of Gov
ernor Douglas has overcome the hard
times, and his optimism has proved
an antidote to the republican panic.
The advertising manager OF Gov
ernor Douglas explains the phenome-
non OF increased sales, when by all
the rules OF business there should
have been decrease, as entirely
produced by the increased advertis-
ing. Other advertisers of shoes were
drawing in their horns and many of
their former customers were In
duced to patronize the Douglas shoe
because 1t was more than ever
brought to their notice.
1t seems that persistent advertis-
ing pays, for last year nearly 5000
newspapers carried the Douglas ad-
vertisement. and the profits of the
business were larger than ever. The
business managers OF newspapers
should point out these facts to those
who decrease or decline to adver-
tise at all when business is dropping
and show them that persistent ad-
vertising pays and that increased ad-
vertlsing pays better, and that the
newspaper is the best advertising
medium.

As an instance of the value OF

remarkable. During December the

The advertising manager OF that
large concern mentioned the matter
to Governor Douglas and asked his
advice. whether under the eircum-
stances they should place the usual
amount of advertising during Janu-
airy and February. which are usually
the slowest months In the year in the
shoe business. Governor Douglas at
once ordered an Increase of 80 per
cent in the amount appropriated for
advertising, declaring that such an
increase would help to overcome the
unfavOrable business outlook. There

play Pierrette in lie ReveilIion de
PIerrette."
The chief interest will revolve
about Mrs. Aston, and 1t was she
who suggested the old French legend
as the groundwork about which to
build the tableaux viviants, in which
about Is society women will pose.
The story of the pantomime con-
Germs the dream of an artist and his
model. The artist is desperately
poor and lives in an attic. He is
fairly starving, but engrossed in
painting portrait of Pierrette, a
sprightly model, whom he loves.
Pierrette enters the attic in the
gown of white, with powdered hair,
patches on her cheeks, and black
pompons on her slippers. This is
the part which Mrs. Aston will play.
Pierrette rouses the artist from
his depression by the gift of ham,
per of supper of cheese, cheap red
wine, and bread. The two pretend
their food is champagne and par
fridge, and after feasting they fall
asleep and dream of the masterpiece
the artist is to paint. Then a dark
change takes place and an illumin-
ated frame is introduced.
In this frame Mrs. Astor's friends
will pose as paintings from the great
masters. Gainsborough. Rubens,
Ghirlandajo, Boticelli, Rembrandt,
Reynolds, Homney and Natter will
be represented.

JEALOUS LOVER STAYS WOMAN
Then Turns Gun on Himself and In.
flcts Mortal Wound.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 27.--Made
Jealous because Of the refusal OF Mrs.
Omar Klum to receive his attentions
William Durrell, a horse trader Of
Oregon City, shot the woman three
times and inflicted probably fatal in
juries, attempted to shoot the wom-
ans husband, and then shot himself.
Durrell died few hours later in the
hospital. The shooting occurred on
Eleventh street near Stark, in front
Of fashionable apartment house,
less than a block from Washington
street, and was within view of hun
dreds of people who were passing
along the prominent thoroughfare.
Mrs. Klum and her husband were
walking down Eleventh street when
Durrell, who had apparently been
following them, approached. When
but few feet away he drew pistol
and without a word Of warning fired
three times at Mrs. Klum. AS the
woman fell to the ground, screaming
"Oh, God, he's shot me" Durrell
pointed the weapon at Klum and
pulled the trigger. The gun missed
fire, and Durrell, seemingly having
saved the last bullet to take his own
life, fred the fifth and last shot into
his own body.
The woman was carried into the
hotel and her wounds dressed. Dur
rell's body was placed in the entry
way, 1t being thought he was dead.
A few minutes later he showed signs
of life, and recovered sufficiently to
make a statement in which he admit
ted killing the woman, and said he
was jealous. He declared that he
had been living with the woman for
the past three days in a downtown
lodging house. When told of Dur
rell's dying statement Mrs. Klum said
it was an unqualified falsehood.
A letter was found in Durrell's
pocket addressed to his brother, G.
r. Durrell, Pioneer Soda works, Ore
gon City, In which the slayer said he
had been discarded by most of his
family, was homeless and lonesome.
A POSTSCRIPT to the letter contained
the following:
"If Portland would close her sa-
loon doors to women, how many
happy homes there would be-
Klum, who is a meatcutter, says
that Durrell had been infatuated
with his wife for some time and had
followed the woman about beseech-
ing her to leave Klum. Klum says
his wife repeatedly repulsed the
mans attentions and that this prob
ably prompted him to his act of des-
peration.
At the hospital 1t was stated to-
night that Mrs. Klum has a bare
chance of recovery, but in case she
does she will be a cripple for life,
one of the bullets having struck her
spine.
