q Seven Famous 0utldWSzm
CLAUDE DUVAL.

Claude Duval is another one Of the IA
nous highwaymen of song and story.
whose romantic life has kept his memory
alive, and whose fame rests hardly less
on his gallantry to ladies than on his
daring robberies. 1t IS related of him.
for instance, among many similar ex-
ploits, that upon one occasion he stopped
a coach in which a gentleman and his
wife were travelling, with 5000 in cash.
The lady. with great presence Of mind.
began to play on a fiageolet, whereupon
she was asked by Duval to dance with
him on the roadside turf. His request
was granted, and while a coranta was
solemnly executed, the husband looked on.
Duval then asked the latter to pay for
his entertainment. and taking only ono
fourth of the money, allowed the coach
to pass on its way. His gallantry not
withstanding, the name of Duval soon
became a terror to travellers, and large
rewards were offered for his capture. So
hot became the pursuit that he was COM
PEELED to flee to France. He only re-
mained away for a short time, and upon
Bailey, and being found guilty, he was
condemned to death.
His proweSs, however, had won for him
some close interest among the fair sex.
and it is said that many great ladies in
terceded for his life. But the King had

WILL SAFEGUARD
PBRILOUS CROSSING
Takoma Park Citizens Plan
to Eliminate Danger.

Because Of repeated accidents which
have occurred at the grade crossing Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the
made by the Takoma Park Citizens AS
sociation. which met last night in Ia
koma Hall, to have the crossing properly
safeguarded.
George L. Tarbell. a prominent grocer
Of Takoma Park, was the last person
who met with an accident at the cross
ing. when his automobile collided with
the gates late yesterday afternoon, break
ing them and slightly injuring the ma
chine.
There have been so many complaints
against the dangerous crossing that the
association will exert itself to have sat-
isfactory warnings placed there.
According to the report of the school
committee. there is good chance OF
the association obtaining an additional
schoolhouse for Takoma Park for which
they have been striving. and an effort
will be made to organize a teachers and
parents association similar to those
formed in the various high schools.
A committee. consisting Of G. c. Knif-
fon and L. NJ. Moore, was appointed to
make arrangements for the celebration
Of Washington's birthday. which will be
held in Takoma Hall, and the association
went on record as favoring the resolution
Of the Columbia Heights Citizens Asso-
citation in their efforts to secure an emer-
gency annex at Garfield Hospital.
At the conclusion of the business meet
ing. the members listened to an address
on The conspiracy Of Pontiac by Pres
ident Edwards, Of the Lincoln Park Citi-
Zens' Association.

expressly excluded him from all hopes
Of pardon, and he was executed on jan
uary q. 1910. when he was thirty-seven
years Of age.
After his body was cut down It was laid
in state at the Tangier Tavern, st. Giles
where il was visited by great crowds OF
all ranks, amid such unseemly demon
strations that the judge compelled the ex-
hibition to stop. Upon his tombstone in
Covent Garden Church was engraved
the following:
Here lies Duval: Reader. n male thou
art
Look to thy purse: If female. to thy
heart
There is no doubt. in spite Of the many
fictitious stories that have been printed
about the F'renchman, that he was partic
ularly successful in winning the favor of
women. Otis SneerS at the divers great
personages Of the feminine sex that on
their knees make supplication for that
insipid highwayman.'' adding. lit is true
he was a man of singular parts and
learning, only he could neither read nor
write
The same characteristics OF Duval are
also dwelt on at length by Samuel But
Ter in the satiric glorificatfon Of the high
wayman, which he called a Pindaric Ode
ITO the Happy Memory of the Most Re-
nowned Duval." The only full account
of his life and adventures was published
Immediately after his execution, and
ascribed to the pen of William Pope.

SHOES GRATIS WITH
SUIT OR 0YBRC0AT.
Remarkable Offer Is Made
by Horn, the Tailor.

Overstocked because Of a dull season
from e merchandising standpoint, Horn.
the tailor. who has built up his big busi-
ness by entirely original methods. has
found another unique method to compel
sales. By arrangement with Berberich
& Son, Horn has completed deal where
by every purchaser of a suit or overcoat
will be given free a pair of Berberich
shoes.
The quality of Berberich shoes Is well
known, and Horns sale means nothing
less than a clean pickup Of $50 for
every customer. In addition to the shoe
inducement. Horn has made price re-
ductions that are sure to please. Every
garment carries Horns guarantee as to
fit, and no money is accepted by the
tailor until the clothes suit every fancy
of the buyer.
That this unique method OF reduciig
the stock will be a success goes without
saying, as the public will be given a
chance to get a modern, up-to-dAte, WELL
fitting suit of clothes or overcoat Of the
best workmanship at a greatly reduced
price. and at the same time receive free
a pair of stylish, serviceable shoes.
This is without doubt one Of the most
remarkable offers ever made the public,
and is only made possible through the
ambitions of Horn, who. unlike many
business men. has never been content to
stay in rut and just drift along. but
adopts original methods to bring himself
in touch with the public.
Another feature of this unpf fecedented
offer. and one which will appeal to a
great many. is the fact that any pur-
chaser who receives a pair Of Berberich's s
shoes free may, If more expensive shoe
is desired. add more money to the $50
and obtain the footwear Of his fancy.

HALT ON TERRITORIAL LIMIT.

Extend JuriadictfOn.

London, Jan. 16.-It is announced that
the British government has officially in
quired Of Russia for an explanation of a
bill which is now before the Douma ex-
tending the territorial limit Of the Cars
domains from three to twelve miles along
tho Archangel coast Of the White Sea.
The inquiry is merely preliminary to fur
ther action should the bill become a law.
Great Britain will insist upon the main
tenance Of the three mile limit as at
present established. Much British capital
is invested in the White Sea fisheries,
from which English trawlers take an
nually fifty thousand tons Of fish.
Tho question. however. has a broader
import, and It is confidently expected that
other nations will join with Great Brit
ain in the protest.
