Otro rasgo de fisonomia del Boston
real que me asombraba, como asom-

Boston del siglo Xxx era desconocido

DESDE ROMA
Las dos orillas del Tiber

Nadie ignora que las dos orillas del
Tiber, en- Roma, representa- una dlvl-
sion, figurativa Y completamente reto-
rica, de las dos cortes convivientes y
coexistentes en- esta ciudad exceptional
y eterna. .Als
La orilla del Tiber del lado de aca es
ell Quirinal: del lado de ALA, es ell Va
ticano.
FL "1uvius Tiber' es una corriente
divisoria que metaf6ricamente separa
dos mundos: ell antique y el nuevo, la
Iglesia ell Estado, ell poder rehgioso y
ell poder politico.
No me corresponds mi analizar hoy
aqui los puntos de contacto, los inciden-
tes de frontera, por decirlo asi las We
cindades y las relaciones de los poderes
existentes en- las dos orillas.
Hoy es de una vecindad de caracter
espiritual de la que me voy ocupar.
Los nifios de Calabria y de Stella y Ell
Papa.
Dos acciones parallels, independent
tes una de otra, la caridad Y la simpa-
tia, son los lazos de uni6n de ambas
orillas.
A raiz del immense desastre que pro-
duio ell terremoto de Calabria de Si-
ella, ell Papa, entire sus disposiciones

Old Officers And
New Quarters For
Bridgeport Club
PRESENT HEADS OF CLUB RE-
NOMINATED AND WILL USHER
1T INTO IT'S HANDSOME NEW
HOME IN LINCOLN
BUILDING.
BUILDING.

Charles H BotSford, president Of
the cfty's board of Building Commis-
sioners, has been renominated for
president of the Bridgeport Club, ac-
cording to the report of the nominal
ing committee, posted today upon the
clubs bulletin board
Earle NJ. Christie, for vice president
and James NJ. Turner for secretary
treasurer, have likewise been renom-
mated, as have the following mer1-
berS Of the board of governors: Jacob
Huber. Frank J. Edgett and DR. F. j.
Adams. The only changes in the Off
GERS of the club consist in the substi-
tuition of Isaac Moss in place of Harry
II. Pritchard on the board of COVER
nors, and Russell Tomlinson in place
of Louis R Edwards.
The report of the nominating COM
mittee is equivalent to election, and
doubtless will meet with the unani-
nous and enthusiastic approval of the
members, as all the officers are popu-
lar members of the club and active
workers in it's interests.
The nominating committee felt that
it was very fitting to renominate the
present officers at this time, when the
club is taking the important step OF
changing its quarters, arrangements
having been completed for the remod-
elling of practically the entire third
floor of the Lincoln building, including
blnNOln nan, TOT lHe cruz . icW quar-
IerS
The present lease of the Bridgeport
Club on the top floor of the Meigs
building expires in the near future
and by the time of its expiration the
clubs beautiful new home in the Lin
colin building will be completed and
ready for occupancy
Members of the club are enthuSlaS-
tic over the change, as the new loca-
ficn will give them LOCO feet of floor
space more than the present situation,
srj the remodelling process which is
now under way, when completed, will
reveal ore of the finest and most
r.ieasir,g club quarters in the State.
Several private dining rooms are to
lie added, ip@.Uding probably ladies'
dining room T1.zre will be also sew

WANT TRIBUTE OF
SILENCE while SEA
RECEIVES THE MAINE

New York, March 13-As a mark of
respect to the old warship and her
heroic victims, as we'll as to show that
the country still remembers the
Maine, agitation has been started here
to have the the entire country pay
tribute of silence when the hulk of the
wrecked ship is committed to the
waters off the Cuban coast, next
Saturday. 1t is suggested that at the
hour the hull of the Maine is being
sunk amidst the salutes of the escort
ing cruisers, traffic stop and all bust
ness be suspended for five rninut es.
In addition, an attempt will be made
to have a battleship steam up the
Hudson river to Grants Tomb and
there fire national salute.
The Maine will receive notable
tribute from the Cuban government
when she is towed out of the Havana
harbor for heroic burial, next Satur-
day. The entire garrison of the har-
Dor forts viii be paraded, and as the
wreck passes out of the harbor en-
trance, the bands will play the Amer
ican National Anthem. the troops
will stand at present while ma
tional salute viii be fired by every
one of the forts, the Cuban warships
and the American escorting squadron,
the cruisers North Carolina and Bir-

Working on a grand scale and clean
ing out whole city streets at a time,
a gang of gas-meter thieves are at
work in Bridgeport, raking in the con-
tents Of the Bridgeport Gas Light
Companys quarter in the-slot gas me
ters. The latest report from the Gas
Company to the local police depart
ment shows that Bunnell street in

the following robberies being report
ed:
Thomas Donnelly, 800 Bunnell street.

Varying sums We're taken, from so

sumers, so the people will have the ex-
quisite pleasure of paying their gas
bills twice over.

Iron Bridge AT
Co'ey's Dam Goes
Down Saugatuc|
Especial to The Farmer }

Westport, March 13-Swollen to al
most unprecedented proportions, the
Saugatuck river burst over its banks
before daybreak, this morning, flooded
several factories on the shores of the
river, carried away a heavy iron
bridge, submerged other bridges and
caused much delay in traffic over the
roads to the north of this town.
The iron bridge at COley's dam, in
Weston, a structure 100 feet long and
20 feet wide, was carried away before
daybreak, and up to late hour to-
day it had not been located. This
is the second time the bridge has gone
down stream and hauled back with
that the loss occasioned by the carry
ing away of the bridge will be up
wards of $4,000, besides the trouble its
absence will occasion.
The Coley Mfg. Co.'s old iron foun-
dry is just south Of the bridge, and
as the structure moved it carried
away a part Of the ou!tbuildings of the
factory
The river had reached such proper
tions this forenoon that work was
abandoned in the Lees Mfg. Co., MAX
ers of twine and cord. The same is
true of the Westport Paper Co., where
the first fioor is flooded. Kemper'S 8
tannery is also closed
Twin Bird ges, so-called, near the di-
vision line of Westport and Weston,
are submerged to a depth of three
feet, and it is impossible for teams to
get over it. The river appeared to
be steadily rising late this afternoon,
and there was fear for the safety of
a number Of structures which were
we'll submerged before the afternoon
had far advanced.

San Antonio, Tex, March 13-After
Draining one robber with a mallet
Express Messenger Sam Trousdale
of San Antonio, killed a second ban
dit with the dead robbers revolver
and prevented the looting of South.
dersOn, Texas shortly after midnight
today. The train carried over s1O.-
900 in cash and valuables in the reg
istered mail.
The robbers boarded the train al
Dryden and when a few miles Out
climbed to the engine and, covering
the engineer, ordered the train stop
ped. The mail and baggage cars
were then separated from the rest
of the train and the engineer ordered
to run two miles down the track. One
robber kept the engineer covered
while the other looked after Trous-
dale. The express messenger, under
orders from the bandit, brought out
the mail bags and struck the bandit a
terrific blow on the head with a NAL
let, killing him instantly. He took
the dead mans gun and when the
second robber started back from the
engine to the baggage car to aid in
looting the mails and express pack
ages, Trousdale shot him to death
The engine and two cars were then
backed up to. the rest of the train
coaches and Pullmans were coupled
up and the entire train proceeded to
Sanderson with the dead robbers
aboard
When the train was stopped the
robbers told the engineer they would
first rob the express car and then
the passengers. AS nearly all of the
passengers were asleep, however. few
of them knew anything had happened
until they reached Sanderson
Both of the robbers had nitro glyc-
crime in their clothes, which they had
evidently expected to use in blowing
