New facts are mostly old facts that
have been forgotten. AS for example:

Just now being battered about by brutal
policemen-had worked out this scheme.
The gun was always handy, you see. and
at the same time the gunman was in
no danger of doing a bit up the river
under the anti pistol toting law.
But that scheme is about as new as
the Statue of Liberty. Sometimes the
towns officials get set to furnish the
citizens with the greatest amount of per-
sonal liberty possible. Then the gunner

Was Not Cincinnati.

Years ago Capt. Til Huston. the Ha-
vana contractor, lived in Cincinnati. This
week he met at the McAlpin Garry Herr
mann, president of the base ball commits
sion, who still lives there. Capt Huston
shook his head at Mr.. Hermann.
Cincinnati said he, lis not in good
standing in Cuba"
Then he told this story. 1T appears that
when an effort was being made to per-
suade Gen. Menocal to accept the nomi-
nation for President of Cuba-he was
elected later-a delegation called on him.
The spokesman was Gen. Andrade. a
Cuban orator full of pleasant words and
glowing smiles. In his peroraton he
said:
General, when Rome was on the
verge Of ruin a great man was sought
to save the country, and Cincinnatus was
called on. Now, general We ask you
to come to the rescue of Cuba. We beg
of you. as the Romans did OF Cincin-
natus-'
A large colored delegate pulled Andrade
impressively by the coattails.
''Nuh,'' said he. "Nuh, nuh. Not Gin
cinnati. Cincinnati finished seventh"

a matter of time until one may start

with young woman wearing a boiled

his automobile. His ministers, also ar

part the president is going to see them.
Their chauffeurs or aids sight the presi-
Dental car ahead on one of the many
drives, and there begins a chase which
may come to an end beneath one of the
great shade trees or beside the lake.
Ministers and president alight, sit on the
benches or walk along one of the inter-
secting footpaths and there talk of affairs
which perhaps are of international i'm
portance- Back of all is the president S
whim. He may be late. The ministers
wait. He may have altered his mind re-
garding affairs of state. and the ministers
are told to meet him later in the day or
night at his home.
Nelson OShaughnessy lately was the
innocent cause of forcing the ministers
to waste what doubtless was valuable
time. They were walking with the presi-
dent in the Chapultepec grounds when
the American charge daffaires drove by.
The president recognized his car, and,
remembering that there was something
that he wanted to talk to the American
representative about, signaled him to
stop. OShaughnessy alighted, Joined
the official group and was preparing to
continue his drive when the president
asked him to get into his car with him.
The two drove off together, leaving

councillors of the president staring after

SHADOWS OF THE PAST."
Photo Play Telling Story of Three
 Like Al Jennings.

For thrilling, nerve-griping, ting ling photoplav, the Broadway Star Feature screen story, Shadows of the Past" is unprecedented in the annals of film photography. It is an origi- nal melodrama by Marguerite Bertsch Vitagraph three-reel masterpiece, produced with the perfection char acteristic of all Vitagraph pictures and acted by a cast of super-eXcel- lent players, including such world famous motion picture stars as Harry Mercy, l.. Rogers Lytton, Anita Stwerat, Rose Tapely and Julia Swayne Gordon.
 The story shows the struggle of three former convicts who are trying to reform. A crooked politician who knows their secret, forces them into helping him in a plot against poli- tical enemy. The enemy proves to be with. The leader imprisons her, but she manages, by pretending to fain, to catch him off guard and so to escape. A lively automobile chase follows and brings the thrill of the big drama when a machine is crush ed by a rushing train before ones eyes. That kills the politician and those who have been his prey are free.
 This thrilling film release, direct from it's run at the Vitagraph theatre New York City will be the feature at- traction at the Orpheo tomorrow.
