In 1904 the shipyard completed a cru1- ser for the Turkish government, and Buckman took it across the pond.

ROme's Fete For 2663d Birthday
 Is Just Finished

Rome, April 19.-The city of Rome has just completed the celebration of the two thousand six hundred and sixty-third anniversary of its founda- tion. This places the birth of the city in the year 75O B. c.
 It was Marcus Terenzius Varrone who first advanced the theory. found ed upon patient research, that the cor nerstone of the city that in after years came to be known as the Mistress of the World, was laid at the end of the third year of the sixth Olympfad, in other words, 750 years before the birth of Christ. Ancient Romans used to celebrate the city's anniversary by fetes in honor of the Goddess Pale protectress of shepherds. These ob- servances were supposed to have been originated by Romulus himself Then later came the "Ludi Seculares,' or Feast of the Century, held at the be- ginning of each new century. In 1900 King Humbert and Queen Mar gherita took part in these observances
 It Is an interesting fact that while Rome has been a city for all these D. 663 years. on one occasion she was ut- terIy bereft of inhabitants. This was early in the Middle Ages. The bar karians were expected. Word vs+Ns sent out that, insomuch as no derenSe could be made, everybody, men, women and children should move up the river. Not a soul was left within the city

 Madame Jane DieuIaf afoy, author, ex- plorer, che1alier of the Legion of Hon or, and possessor of the unique priv ilege accorded by the. French Govern ment of wearing male apparel, has conceived the idea of forming battal- ions of women to aid in the work of reorganizing the French Army.
 The women are not to fight, so Ma dame Deulafoy's scheme offers no op- ening to the humorist. On the con trary, it is regarded as eminent1y practical. It is based on her own personal observations, for Madame Dieulafoy fought in the F,ranco-Prus- sian war. disguised in a uniform, by her husbands side, and knows what she is talking about Briefly, she pro- poses that volunteer corps of women should be formed to work in the com partment and other non-combatant sections. releasing the men now ern- ployed by these services and sending them to swell the numbers of fighters.
 There are many women, widows, etc, points out Mime. Dieulafoy, whose life is practically over at forty; many young and old maids who have mo object in life.' All these would wei come the idea of aiding in the useful work of defending their native land The Minister of War, to whom the scheme was submitted, was most en- coura ging, and a number of women have already signifed their wil1ingnesu to cooperate. Mime. Dieulafoy is now enga ged in working out the main lines of her plan, taking the Red Cross As sociation as a model organization. She will ask that designated women be in structed by commfssary officers, and that women be given the opportunity of actual service in this department.

 Under Augustus the population of Rome numbered nearly six millions Then it went down to the minimum limit of 13,OOO in the Middle Ages, to rise slowly again until it is now 540- 900. This Is an increase of about 15, GOO yearly for the last ten years
 The supposition of most people that the word Roma comes from Rom ulus is erroneous. Ronulus comes from Roma. The original colony was call ed Roma, from Rumon river, meaning ''The town of the river" and its head, leader, was ROmulus '"The man of the town of the river.''

Benjamin Disrae1i, Lord Beaconsf1eld, died thirty two years ago today, and the anniversary will be observed as British Empire. The grave at Hugh enden where the great Prime Minister is taking his long sleep, and the mag nificent monument erected by a grate- full people in Parliament Square, will today be covered with masses of the flower which, it is believed, he loved best, while the pale primrose, sweet hamburger of spring. will be worn to- day by millions of people throughout the Empire Sir Henry Wolff and Lord Randolph Churchill were the or ganizers of the Primrose League, which now has over two million mem bers Whether the primrose was in fact the favorite flower of Benjamin DisraeIi now seems doubtful. The primrose is a modest flower, and the great statesman had an eye for gor- geous coloring. When he died Queen Victoria sent a wreath of primroses, with a card on which she had written, His favorite flower" It was sup posed at the time that the His ap- piled to Beaconsfield. A perusal of the literary works of Queen Victoria will prove that, with her, such a ref erence to His, when underscored, as was the word on the card, meant AL bert the Prince Consort. The prfn- rose was AIbert's favorite blossom. It may be that the great Primrose League is based on a misconception.

The first shot in the American revo- 1ution was fired at Concord 138 years ago today, and the anniversary will be marked by the usual celebrations in Boston and vicinity today. That first shot heard round the world'' did not have any immediate echo in the moth CT country, as it would now, thanks to the cable and wireless. It was not until May 29, month and ten days after the skirmishes at Concord and Lexington, that the news reached England Newspaper enterprise was known even in those days, and 1t was a copy of the Essex Gazette, news paper published at Salem, Mass, that gave the English officials their first Knowledge of the uprising of the reb- eIs.' It is not known whether that first shot, was fired by a revolution ary colonfst or a Kings soldier. How ever, witnesses of the battle afterward affirmed that the soldiers were the first to open fire, and the chronicles set forth that this testimony was given by individuals of prominence and lawful age.''

FASHIONABLE PEACHTREE
UNPROTECTED FROM FIRE

Atlanta, Dec, 10.-The burning OF
the magnificent Winecoff mansion has
directed public attention to the startl-
ing fact that the whole of the Peach
tree residential section north of North
avenue is without any fire protection
whatever.
There isn't single fire engine house
in the whole Peachtree street district
all the way from North avenue to
I,rookwood. 1t means almost invari-
ably that when Peachtree home
catches fire seriously, complete de-
struction results. Downtown Atlanta
and other sections of the city are splen-
didly protected against fire, but poor
old Peachtree, which has become the
goat in so many ways of recent
years, is practically unprotected.

WEST MORELAND AND
HARRIS CLASH IN
CRAWFORD WILL CASE

Atlanta, Dec. 10-By a strange CO
incidence the same poison experts arc
arayed against one another in tn =
Crawford will case as in the recent
trial of Leo M Frank for murder.
DR.. Willis F. Westmoreland, distin-
guished Atlanta physician, whose tes-
timony was arrayed in direct opposi-
ton to that of DR.. H F. Harris in the
Frank case, found himself in exactly
the same position Tuesday when he
was called to the stand in the Craw-
ford case, in which the heirs-at-law of
Joshua Crawford are seeking to show
that Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford DELHI
erately murdered him for his fortune.
AS further coincidence, the testi-
mony of Dr. Harris was not only con-
tradicted, but was branded as scienti-
fically ridiculous, precisely as in the
Frank trial. DR.. Harris had testified
that their were traces of poison in the
stomach Ct Joshua Crawford, and that
in his opinion they caused the old
mans death.
DR.. Westmoreland testified that the
traces of poison found in Crawford's
stomach might easily have been due to
the cough medicine administered short
ly before his death and to the morphine
hypodemic.
He further commented on DR.. Har-
ris' testimony by declaring that it was
ridiculous to give positive opinion as
to the cause of persons death, fro n
the traces of morphine found in tho
stomach four years after death.

Disraeli's Nuptial Joke,

There was little joke between
them Disraell and his wife) which |
heard from the late dean OF Salisbury.
"You know / married you for your
money" Disraeli would say to her.
"Oh, yes. but IL you were to marry me
again you would marry me for love" !"
was the regular reply. "Oh, yes" her
husband would exclaim. and the little
nuptial comedy ended.
But what Disraeli said to Bernal Os-
borne once about his marriage is much
better worth the telling. Ii was at a
dinner party after dinner when the
men were alone. What did you mar
ry her forT Osborne asked In his char
acteristic way. Disraeli twiddled his
wineglass In the pause that followed
this point blank inquiry. Then he
lifted his head slowly and looked the
other very expressively In the face.
For reason" he said. (which you
could never understand-grntit titude."-

Tory Memories.
