CALIFORNIA; LOSS
 GAIN OF ARIZONA
A Society Vote CuIled from the Columns of the Los
 Angeles Times

The senatorial fight in this state however 1t may turn out, has been a sad blow to exclusive California so- ciety and has resulted in falling away, at least temporarily, of the population of that state, loss which can be repaired only by the defeat of Eugene S. Ives.
 The Los Angeles Times, in its SO ciety page of last Thursday morn ing, thus bewails:
 "A genuine loss to local society will be the Ives family, who are clos ing their beautiful home at Shorb and returning temporarily to Arizona, where Senator Ives enters the fierce fight of the senatorial campaign. So, whether this portends a further re moyal to Washington is as yet shrouded in mystery.
 The senator is the proud father oi four pretty, attractive daughters, two of whom, Miss Cora and Miss Annette, made their debut last year. Since that great occasion the home at Shorb has been the scene of a series of wonderful entertainments, the fame of which has spread to far distant cities.

There is a quaint old shop in London
which still bears the name of Samuel
Birch, the first purveyor of turtle soup
in the English capital. Amid all the
changes of the city Birch's shop in
Cornhill survives In the guise it wore
when its owner was lord mayor Of
London in the memorable year Ct Wa
terloo. Samuel Birch achieved distinc
ton in many fields. He was an orator
and a patriot; he was colonel of the
city militia and accepted with great
good nature his nickname of Marshal
Tureen; he was n man of letters, pro-
duced plays that held the stage and
books that were readable, though now
seldom read. One of his plays, 1.-THE
Adopted Child" was popular long aft
er its author had killed his last turtle
His daughter married Lamartine, and
one of his sons, fine classical scholar,
begat n family of scholars. Yet Birch's
claim to fame rests most upon the
fact that he was the man who made
turtle soup popular City merchants,
templars from the inns and handles
from the west end all flocked to Corn
hill, the turtle house of all London

Reign of the Dandies.

In the matter of dress we have fallen
upon decline since the days when the
Duke of Wellington was refused adj
mission to Almack's because he was
wearing trousers instead of breeches
and silk stockings. Even Almack's,
however, had to admit trousers within
its closely guarded portals the following
year. When Gladstone was up" at
oxford the reign of the handles was in
full swing When late in life he re-
visited the university to lecture to the
undergraduates on Homer he was
asked by G. w. E. Russell whether he
noticed any difference between his au-
dience and the men of his own time.
Yes" he replied. "in their dress an
enormous change. l am told that l
had among my audience some of the
most highly connected and richest men
in the university. and there wasn't one

strictly speaking. 'a;las' Is a mis-
homer for Il map bool;. since it was
not the world, bur the heavens. that
the atlas OF mythology upheld. Mer-
Gator, the famous Dutch geographcr.
who made globes for Emperor Charles
V. of Germany. was the first TO use
the name in this connection, choosing
it as convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas. the
demigod, figures with world upon his
shoulders as a. froutispiece OF some
early works on geography.
Atlas, it was said, made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was condemned TO bear
hea"en upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as a man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into a mountain, upon which rested
heaven and all its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with n heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester:
Thou art no Atlas for so great a weight
1t is not difficult to see how by an
association of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for book of
maps which upholds and exhibits to
us the whole world.

SEMI-CENTENSIAL
OF FORT SUMTER
Fifty Years Ago Today The Famous
Fort Was mbarded-HostiIi-
ties Then Started.

Washington, April 12.-Fifty years
ago today the bombardment of Fort
Sumter, which marked the real begin
ming of hostilities between the North
and the South, was commenced, Maj.
Anderson, the Union officer in COM
mand, having refused to surrender the
stronghold to the Confederate authori-
ties. Throughout the reunited coun-
try the semi-centennial of this mo-
mentous event will be observed by
both Federal and Confederate vet
Grams.
1t was at daybreak on the twelfth
of April 1861, that the first shot was
fred on Fort Sumter and the terrible
struggle between the states, which up
to that time many had hoped would be
averted, became inevitable. Maj. An
derson, with a garrison of about eighty
men and some sixty guns, was in COM
maud of the fort. Gen. Beauregard,
who was in charge of the Confederate
attacking forces, carried on the as
sault with great vigor, and after gal
liant but vain defense Anderson and his
handful of men were forced to run up
the white flag of surrender. The cap
tured fort was held by the Confed-
crates until the fourteenth of April,
1865, through many assaults and bonn
bardments, until on the date named
Gen. Sherman compelled its evacua
ton. AS it was the first, it was also
one of the last strongholds in posses
sion of the Confederates, since its sur
render in 1865 was followed almost
Immediately by the evacuation of Rich
mond and the surrender of Lee at APP
pomattox.
Fort Sumter was built in 1916 and
occupied a site on an artificial island
at the entrance of harbor of Charles
ton, s. C. 1t was named after Thomas
Sumter, an American revolutionary
general and later United States sena-
tor from South Carolina.
