AS we look around upon
our busy self-important, sometimes
frivolous sisters, we can see nothing
heroic about them. Yet l believe that
in every woman's breast there lies the
possibility of great heroism. What she
can do when put to the test Is amply
illustrated by the events of history.
There is a sprightly conversation
preserved for US in letter from the
fascinating, talented Mrs, Wilkinson
of Charleston, which shows quite
clearly the attitude of the young ma
irons OF the Revolution toward their
British foe, She is describing her
feelings when asked by an officer to

ANGLO-LIBERIAN TROUBLES.
Unsatisfactory Conditions on tn.
Frontier Reported in London.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON, April 6.-Intelligence has
reached the foreign office of further
disturbances on the Anglo-Liberian
frontier. L;berian troops have raided
Sierra Leone territory and destroyed
beacons lately erected to mark the
new Anglo-Liberian boundary.
When the Liberian minister returned
to London from Monrovia in January
he announced that there had been some
trouble on the frontier. but that the
President of Liberia had taken ener-
getic action to recall the Liberian
officers who were responsible for the
situation. The Liberian minister took
occasion to confer with the Governor OF
Sierra Leone on the subject.
The minister now states that he be-
lieves the foreign Offices telegram
probably refers to events which he
already reported. as 1T seems probable
that the steps taken by the Liberian
government some weeks ago at the in
stance of the Governor of Sierra Leone
would have prevented a repetition of
trouble. He admitted that the situa-
ton on the frontier was unsatisfactory.
indicating the necessity for the COM
pletion of the American military scheme
in Liberia. He understood that the
American military officer had already
left for Monrovia to advise the Liberian
government

WOULD DANISH Boards.
Manager of Paris Opera House in
Dispute With Chorus.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, April 6.-The difference between
NJ. Massenet and the chorus men of the
Paris Opera House is not yet settled. He
wants those who wear hair on their faces
to shave it off, SO as to look more like
the old Romans and they retort that he
is wrong.
They have looked up the question and
find that, unlike orientals. who favored
the beard and only shaved in token OF
mourning. the Romans after a certain
period did the exact reverse, thus follow
ing the example set by Scipio Africanus,
as is attested by Livy; but that was not
until 200 years after Rome had been
founded. Boards were still in honor uT
till then. as is proved by the incident
during the invasion by the Gauls. who
found all the senators bearded and in
suited one by plucking his beard. Do
not historians show that boards never
entirely went out of fashion, and do not
documents in the Louvre demonstrate
that even the great Augustus grew one
as sign of grief after the death OF
julius Caesar? they ask.
The chorus men consider tnat they
have proved their case triumphantly, but
at the same time they are inclined to be
conciliatory. They suggest that a few
lines might be introduced into the opera
of Roma" by way Of explaining that at
that date the city was in mourning and
that therefore its male inhabitants were
wearing boards.

TEMPTED BY BANANA.
Monkey Coaxed From Roof by Of.
fer of Her Favorite Fruit.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
WINDSOR, England, April 6.-Sally.
a monkey belonging to the Grenadier
Guards, quartered at Victoria barracks
Windsor. escaped in the afternoon to
the roofs of the transport buildings
and eluded capture for an hour. The
first Indication that Sally had broken
loose was when she was seen by a
grenadier climbing up the spouting to
the roof. The alarm was raised, and a
hot chase began. but the fugitive s
agility was far superior to that of her
pursuers, and she soon perched herself
on the top of the roof. The problem
was how to dislodge her.
1t was thought that Sally would be
coaXed into leaving her lofty station,
but nuts and whistling were of no avail,
and she mounted the chimney stack,
from which she took a general survey
of the gabled roof. She followed this
up by canter from end to end of the
building. Then she rested a while on
the caves and looked down with a
twinkle in her eye at her pursuers.
Meanwhile an amused crowd gathered
in the street. Finding that coaXing was
useless, severer methods were resorted
to, and one or two missiles were thrown
at the escaped monkey. But Sally was
too agile TO be hit. and whenever shot
was directed toward her she darted be-
hind one Of the chimney stacks.
Then a grenadier climbed the roof
and tried to chase the fugitive, but he
had not even a lighting chance, and
when he did manage by wriggling along
to get within a short distance of the
monkey Sally gracefully glided to the
other end
Sally was eventually overcome by a
banana, which was held out to her. AT
first she was suspicious, but the fruit
was too tempting, and after looking at
it with longing eyes she unceremonious-
" descended the spouting and darted
for the fruit, which meant her capture
and also the end of the chase.

taken from the victim were never drawn
directly in the name of, or in favor of,
the winning sharper, but passed to a
third party, whose duty it then became
to make the necessary arrangements for
turning them into cash. To this end one
of the confederates would pay, or rather
pretend to pay the winner the sum lost
and take a promissory note for the same
from the loser.
Evidence was given as to typical case
in which one of the band named Hervart,
who represented himself as a Hungarian
cavalry officer, won a sum of nearly
