House OF Lords had passed bill rails

OF Commons. on the plea Of some of its
members that to pass such a bill would
be to admit the charges against "the

a long time resisted the proposed meas

Coldly Indifferent to the pleading of
millions of mothers of the middle class,

Members of the House Of Commons

Stead. They said that the characters

identity of the agent who closed the
transaction. Indeed none showed any
inclination to evade responsibility. The
salvation Army was new and strange
and was an object OF derision in many
quarters. while it was treated with
open hostility In others. The police
made no attempt to protect 1t from the
assaults TO the mob and the press gave
II little chance to defend its attitude
before the public in general In other
words It had no public forum. This
abduction" gave its critics vast
amount of new ammunition.
When Bramwell Booth was taken TO

grew larger as the vehicle progressed
toward Bow street. Even the sturdy
old General, who had never been known
to trembe in the presence of any
earthly menace. said he was bewildered
by the spectacle. For many evenings
after the event the appearance OF
Salvation Army officer or soldier on the
streets was the signal for the collection
of big and angry mob.

Britisher was under the impression

his arrest.

in doing so hit heads some Of which

He proved that children Of twelve were
deliberately and ruthlessly sold To de =

his own land and in other divisions Of
Europe.
He tried to induce the great news

propaganda. But the subject was of

UNCLE SANS GREAT SEAL.
Story Of Tho Design Il Carries on III
Revere Side.

Story Of the Design Il Carries IN it,
Reverse Side.
Every American IL familiar with the
great seal Of the United States-the
design Of nm eagle with outstretched
wings. bearing in its beak a scroll with
the words ID Pluribus Unum." but
few know that there is a reverse side
to the seal. which, though never used.
Is just as officially a part Of the great
seal us the side bearing the eagle. All
seals were originally made with two
sides. like Il coin. Soft wax was plac.
ed on both the face and back Of the
document to be witnessed by the seal.
The diverse. or head, impression was
made In the upper wax; the reverse,
or tail. impression on the under.
The reverse side Of the great seal OF
the United States has for its design a
truncated pyramid OF masonry. In
mediately above 1t IS a sleepy looking
eye framed in a triangle. which Is sur
rounded by a sunburst. Above Is the
motto. "Annuit Coeptis." On tho base
Of the pyramid is the date 1776. writ.
ten in Roman numerals. The pyramid
Is set in n field sparsely covered with
plants. Below the field and following
the curve of the circular rim there
winds n scroll bearing the words mo
vus Ordo Scclorum."
1t was designed by Charles Thorn
son. secretary Of the Continental con-
gress, in 1882. "The u~ncompleted pyr'
amid signifies growing strength and

by art critics and others as being un'
worthy OF {: great nation that it was
never used officially.
Nevertheless 1t was adopted by con
gress as Il part Of the great seal. and
as such it must remain until that adop'
ton Is repealed.-New York Times.

FIRE MARSHALL TO

State Fire Marshal Runge has made

the first official trip will be made to-
day, when he starts for the southern
part of the state. He will DC accom-
panied on this trip by his chief dep

over conditions in a number of towns.
The fire marshal states that if those
who are building or contemplating
building will notify him he will give
them information as regards electric
al wiring and other things that will
materially reduce their insurance
charges. Until the Office rooms at the
capitol are completed the department
will have their headquarters in the

Ptolemy Nhilopator was fond OF
building bic boats. One Of these Is
said to have been 42O feet long. 81 feet
broad and - feet deep from the high
est point Of the stern. This vessel had
four rudders or what some would call
steering oars. rs they were not fasten-
ed, each forty-five feet long. SHE car
ried 1900 rowers, besides 5000 ma
rlnes. a large botly of servants under
her decks and stores and sW'ovisions.
Her oars were tfty-seven feet long.
and the handles were weighted with
lead. There were 1000 rowers on a
side, and it is supposed that these were
divided into five banks. That this cx
traordinary vessel ever put to sea Is
doubted, but that she was launched
and used ut times. if only for display,
several historians are agreed.
