These gentlemen who say they are de-
voted to the emperor and the pope would
render far greater serv-
Embarrassing ice to the one and the
n;..l, other If they would alb
1AAenoS' stain from such declara-
tions. They place the emperor under the
necessity of declaring that in the actual
condition Of things there is no Roman
question. AS for the pope, the service
rendered would be still greater. for they
would not expose him to the humiliation
of having it said that the vows of the
congress were purely platonic.''
These documents, the authenticity of
which have not been officially question
ed, have been received in political and
diplomatic circles with interest and sur
prise A dispatch to the Figaro from
Vienna announces the general astonish-
ment as to the declarations attributed to
the Emperor Francis Joseph relative to
the Roman question.
1t has been the opinion in Vienna for
a long time that the Italian government
understood the real reasons why the en-
peror had never gone to Rome The
Italian public attributes 1t to hidden
political purpose, when. for fact, the
attitude of the emperor was solely in
SDifeu DIV religious SCTuploS. ana at Tile
same time the legitimate desire not to
offend certain susceptibilities. These
scruples did not prevent the emperor
king, however, from concluding an al
lance which should have dissipated all
doubts.
The revelations of the Giornale d'Italia
have accomplished one of the objects
aimed at, namely. in the interests of the
partisans of the triplice in Rome, to
prove to the government at Vienna
that there is a party in Rome which
would deprive irredentism of a preteXt
for agitation against Austria.
On the other hand. the publication may
prove boomerang both in Vienna and
at Rome. 1t is an invitation to Francis
Joseph to go to Rome. where the govern
ment could scarcely assume the RESPONSE
bility Of protecting him from the pos
sible violence of irredentists or anarchists.
The publication may prove stumbling
block to Signor Sonnino and his friends
at the moment Of his resumption of
power.
The publication. indeed. it is currently
reported. was intended to injure Sig.
Sonnino However this may be, both
at Rome and Vienna the curious are
asking, Whence came the documents?
From Crispi the uncle? In such case
where did he get them?" And i'm view
of that statesman's all-seeing qualities
the natural response is: From the diplo-
matte pouches between Rome and Vienna

How dare you, sir. make out a bill

To sue a bard for money.

But he Is only funny.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
In THE STAR

An appreciation of the immense growth
of this country is afforded by study of
the estimates submitted
Estimates annually to Congress iii
Submitted the past, as compared
with the present. The
districts needs cannot be thus noted be-
cause they were not all presented to
Congress until after 1875. Fifty years
ago only a few of the local requirements
were thus stated. In The Star of De-
cember l.. 1850. is summary of certain
estimates affecting the District. For the
Institution of the Deaf. Dumb and Blind
$1,000 was required. For the penitentiary
something over $4,000: for repairs of
Potomac, Navy Yard and upper bridges
Congress was asked to grant $1,000. The
largest local item laid before Congress
was SJ0O,ND for completing the Wash
ington aqueduct.
Some OF the general estimates submitted
in 1919 are significant. For instance, the
sum OF 100000 was asked for the taking
of the eighth census of the United States
a modest amount compared with today.
Arsenal equipment was asked for as fol-
lows: Allegheny arsenal. Pennsylvania
S6,33S: Fort Monroe. $33. 40: Washington
$.!i00; Harpers Ferry S65, 7Oo. These
sums were to be expended during the
lscal year ending June 30, 1851 BY that
cate Tar greater amounts were being
spent in arsenal work and other war
measures.

dinner "up at de house." and in the
colonels absence Ebe took advantage
Of the occasion to get gloriously In.

to his duties for a day or two. A
daughter Of the household undertook
to reprove the old man, who expressed

the cup Of coffee or chocolate, the late
dining Frenchman wants nothing to
eat until luncheon. But the habit of
avoiding early food and drink in this

IN THE DAYS OF THE DUEL.
Reminder Of Times When Gentlemen
Met on "FieId of Honor"

The years which separate us Amer
leans from dueling are fewer than
most Of US realize The late Prof.
Shaler's Autobiography, in the Allan
tic, has this amusing reminiscence:
"The first occasion was when o
silly cousin of mine with too much
wine in him challenged well-known
duelist, James Jackson, who as gen.
eral fell at Perryville. Fortunately, l
knew Jackson well as a boy Of IS may
know man Of twice his years. !
made my plea to him to give my kins-
man an easy way out. At first he was
obdurate, saying that he would have
his life-he had, indeed, reason to be
vexed-but in the end he told his Sec
ond to fix 1t up with me. My good,
/ may say indeed affectionate, rela-
tlons with Jackson had begun a year
before In a like absurd business in a
ballroom. Frankfort / had acci-
dentally stepped into mess made on
the floor by the breaking of bottle of
champagne, which he as manager was
trying to have cleaned up With
sharp word, he pushed me aside; my
new-found manly dignity was offend
ed; so therefore, as usual in such
cases, I asked him for his card His
answer was: I beg pardon, my dear
sir ! took you for a boy We
both saw the fun Of the situation, and
became friends. He was one Of the
glories Of this world; he lifted my
sense of what 1t was to be a man

Small Boy Then and Now.

This is the way the editor Of the st.

David was considered a noble little
fellow because he went forth and slew
the giant Goliath, with his sling. 1t
pleased King Saul and all the children
Of Israel to such an extent that he
was at once crowned as hero and
made a ruler. Very little heroism
would be credited to an act Of that
kind in our day Of the world.
