character, an incendiary and brute OF
the most horrible description. How
ever, according to the most reliable
historic authorities. he was not quite so
bad as he is pictured on the screen.
Tacitus, whose annals were written
shortly after the episodes occurred is
loath to blame Nero altogether for the
burning Of Rome. although he admits it
might have been so, as Nero was in
fected with the desire to shine as con-
structor" and caused the city to be
fred in order to clear the ground that
he might build a new Rome" Tacitus
makes it perfectly plain that improve
ments Nero had sought to make had
been bitterly opposed by the property
owners of a certain class and that they
never became reconciled to the chang

AT THE SCENIC

Manager Simpson, Of the Scenic
Theater, has always maintained that the
best is none too good for Leavenworth
people and the class OF photo dramas
that he has been throwing on the can
vass the past few weeks proves his con-
tention, the house being packed almost
every night. Simpson is like that fell
low who once remarked, Tt pays to
advertise but you must have the goods.
When one stops to think OF the photo
plays that have been at the Scenic of
late and the ones now billed for that
popular playhouse, you must admit that
he is giving the goods. Simpson goes
further and says, I want the best the
market Affords" and plays like Cleopa-
ira, and The Last Days of Pompeii, are
truly productions OF that character, and
ones that the theatergoers of this city
should appreciate as the management
undoubtedly goes to big extra expense
in bringing such attractions to this city.

es made after the fire, althoug they
were all all, admittedly. vastly bene-
fetal hygienically and otherwise.
Although Augustus made boast
that he had found Rome a city Of brick
and left it one of marble, it was still
filed with wooden houses when the
conAagration occurred. Moreover it
was insufficiently provided with fire pro-
tectors. The regulations established
by Nero, after the great fire, show that
previous to that event it had been pc
culiarly subject to danger from flames.
Apparently fire walls were not common.
On several occasions before, the City
had been nearly destroyed by confa-
grafton and in every instance the charge
appears to have been made that the dis
asters were caused by incendiaries.
One of the most extraordinary features
Of Tacitus' narrative is the manner in
which he treats the rumors that the
Christians had set fire to the City.
The Christians of Rome were in the
habit of denouncing the corruption Of
its people, and were constantly predict
ing the destruction OF the world. The
Apocalypse, attributed to St. John the
Divine, but which was probably written
towards the close of the first century
of our era, had undoubtedly been pre-
ceded by prophecies equally lurid, and
PROSECUTING disposition of
the Christians no doubt led them into
indiscretion OF utterance which was
and remembered when the
predicted disaster overlook the City.
