Two points IN the recently proposed
British bin to provide for the economic
development of the United Kingdom
and the improvement of the roads
therein are worthy Of notice IN the
United States. The program Of the
bill provides for special motor roads to
be exclusively or chiefly for the use Of
mOtorcars, the road board having au-
thority to improve existing roads or to
construct new roads for that purpose.
The board may acquire land for this
purpose by right Of eminent domain
and may also acquire land adjacent
thereto for a width 300 yards distant
from the middle Of the road. which
land they may sell. lease or control. the
increment therefrom being used for
the maintenance or construction of this
class Of highways.

TREASURE FIND ON BEACH.
Washing Up of Coins of 1900 on Long
Island Attracts Scores.

New York.-Silver dollars of the
mlntage of 1900 are being washed
ashore on the beach near Eastport, l..
l., and scores of men and women are
out raling and sitting the sand in the
hope of sharing in the prosperity
which has come so Unexpectedly to
Eastport.
The popular supposition is that
about century ago treasure ship
went ashore on the coast near here
and became total loss. The fact that
the old silver dollars are coming
ashore 100 years after is construed to
mean that the chests containing the
coins were in the hold and that the
storms of the last year have broken
up the remnants of the hull, and also
the treasure chests, and freed the sill
yer. 1t is well known that silver dol
lars at that time were made mainly
for export.
The first coin washed ashore was
found by Clarence Jayne, life saver
stationed at the Moriches station. He
was patroling the beach when he saw
1t lying half buried in the sand. On
one side of the coin is the figure of
woman and on the other an eagle
surrounded by 13 stars, one for each
of the 13 original states.
Jayne told his comrades about his
find and they began searching the
beach. The news spread to neighbor-
ing villages. and soon there was rush
for the ocean front Those who have
found the coins are not parting with
them, because they have been in
formed they are valuable and will COM
mand high prices from coin collectors.

FORT is SUMMER HOME.
Old Ticonderogs to BE Restored for
Rich Woman.

New York.--Fort Ticonderoga. rich
in the associations of the colonial and
the revolutionary wars, is TO rise
again from its ruin and preserved and
restored is TO be the summer home Of
its owner, Mrs. s. II. p. Pell of this
city.
1t is expected that the West bar
racks, in which Col. Ethan Allen de.
manded the surrender of the fortress
"in the name of the great Jehovah and
of the continental congress-" as tradi-
tion has it, will be finished next July
for the tercentenary Of the coming
of Champlain, which is to be cele-
brated under the lee of the old walls
on the Trembling Meadows"
Ticonderoga has been in the posses
sion of the Pell family for nearly a
century, and the approaching celebra-
tion and renewal of interest in early
American history caused the present
proprietor to consider its rehabilita-
tion.
Mrs. Pell's father, Col. Robart M.
Thompson of this city, is undertaking
the rebuilding and restoration. The
west barracks, or Officers quarters"
will be a museum, and the other build
ings within the inclosure are to be
used for residential purposes.
The legends of the aborigines tell OF
the promontory on which it stands,
having been a defense of the Mound
builders and then wrested from them
by the Indian hordes. The Idoquos
lost 1t to the French, the French sur
rendered 1t to the English, and then
England was obliged to yield it to the
forces of the revolution. After that
1t was taken and retaken, and finally
dihmantleG and abandoned.
Its position made it for centuries
the key to the Hudson valley and of
the way from this country to Canada.

SERvlAN WOMEN vow TO FIGHT

Belgrade.-To such high pitch has
the patriotic feeling among the Serv-

each member of which is bound by SOL

is now engaged daily in drilling and
other military operations at Krague-
vatz. the ancient capital of the coun-
try.
This corps of amazons is part of
the newly-formed League of Death
Founded at Kraguevatz, in the prov
ince of Shoomadya, this league is
worthy of the old city's ancient tradi.
tions. Kraguevatz is known as "the
heart of Servia," and is the center of
the intense patriotic movement
Each member of the league wears
badge of the national colors-red, blue
and white-surmounted by metal
skull and crossbones, and bearing the
motto: TO Death for Liberty"
No sooner was this league founded
than recruits flocked in from all quar-
ters. 1t became a matter of honor
with every man who was not reserv-
ist to join. and only few days ago
the women of Servia, fired with the
fierce enthusiasm of their men folk,
formed themselves into special

So her cause triumphed, and the re-
suit of her plan may now be seen in
company of hard-trained women drill
ing daily with heavy Mauser rifles, at
tending at the shooting ranges, and
fitting themselves as rapidly and thor
oughly as they can to take their places
in the firing line should the necessity
arise.
The woman's company is composed
of fair Servians of all ages and
classes-married and single, peasants
wives and daughters. and the wives of
rich merchants.
This amazon corps is drilled by Off
GERS from the command Of Lieut.. Col,
Kikeltch.
Now that the corps is organized and
proving itself a useful, workmanlike
body, enthusiastic praise for its mem
bers flows in from all quarters. New
recruits are always forthcoming, and
the officers in command speak highly
of the women's military ability
It is probable that other similar
