A word as to its past The city
originally was old Uskodama, first q
district capital Of Thrace; then a Ro-
man capital under Hadrian, and the
object of Goth vandalism as early as
37S, when It was wholly destroyed. In
the thirteenth century the Latin en-
peror and the Bulgarians fought a
fearful battle here, after which Adrian.
ople experienced an era Of peace until
about the year 1851 when the Sultan
Murad l. captured 1t. In 1865 he made
| 1t his home and such 1t remained
capital Of the empire, until the fall
| of Constantinople, when 1t was re
duced to sort of sub-capital. Since
then its career has been uneventful
The city was taken in 1920. and here
was signed the Peace of Adrianople
| by which Russia returned to Turkey
all that she had taken away and fixed
the boundaries that remained in force
substantially until 1878, when the Rus
slams re-entered the city.

out of fashion in England, and is ssop
to disappear from Paris, which has
been its last stronghold. It was in.
vented by Dutch dandy, and its evil
effects upon the eye were at once
noted by oculists. The monocle first
appeared at the congress of Vienna
in 1914, when it was worn by its IN

Fifteen million acres OF Greek land
were soon after transferred to the
United States. Mcintosh reaped a rich
harvest by this treaty" But 1t
ruined him with the Creeks. They
made no open threats against the
traitor; but they simply met in coun-
ell and re-enacted his own former law,
making any such future transfers pun
ishable by death.
In 1924 Mcintosh received a large
cash offer for his services in a plan
for ceding 100000 more acres OF
the Creeks to the government. The
majority OF the Creeks fiercely pro-
tested against this glazing robbery.
John c. Calhoun, secretary of state,
declared that 1t was cruelty unjust.
President Monroe laid the treaty be-
fore the United States senate. And,
after John Quincy Adams Inaugural
ton, it was approved. A letter in
which Mcintosh had offered bribe
money to one OF the Creek officials to
side with the government was discov-
cred by the Indians. This proved the
willy half-breed's treachery past all
question. The Creeks-using his own
old law as a death manufactured
McIntosh's life forfeited.
This time Mcintosh was really
alarmed. He retired to a fortified
house at Milledgeville and surrounded
himself with a strong guard. The
Creeks went about the traitors execu-
ton in a quiet, businesR-like way.
On the night Of May l. 1925. one
hundred Of them surrounded HIS
house. They sent orders to his guards,
servants and family to leave the place
at once Then they burned the house
to the ground. Mcintosh. dashing out
through the flames, was shot dead.
No punishment was inflicted on Nc
Intosh's slayers. The question OF ven
geance was brought before President
Adams. But, for everybody's sake. It
was deemed best to let the affair drop.
