MARYLAND


 The first settlement in Maryland was made by a party of colonists. numbering about 200 persons, who sailed from Cowes on the ships Ark and Dove 2s2 years ago today, Nov. 22, 1888. The colonists were sent out by CeciIious Calvert, Baron of Balti- more in the Irish peerage, who had received a grant of land from King Charles. The party was headed by Leonard Calvert, brother of Lord Bal tirnore. After a voyage lasting over three months, the ships arrived off Point Comfort. Va.., on Feb. 24, 1884. Governor Calvert then proceeded up St. Georges river to the Indian town of Yoanaco, made treaty with the tribe, and then sent for the colonists. who founded the settlement of St. Mary's- The first legislative assembly was held there in 1885. Tn 1649 this legislature passed the first toler- -ance act, securing religious liberty, ever enacted by an established 1egis- lature, although this freedom was linn ited to persons ..professing to believe in Jesus Christi and did not extend to non-C Christians; who were persecut- ed with the same zeal as in other colonies. At a later period, however, the Protestants and Catholics of Maryland engaged in many sanguinary conflicts.

GALLIENI

General Joseph Simon GalIieni, Minister of War in the Briand cabi- net, is sixty-six years olds and, like Gen. Joffre, a veteran of the Franco Prussian war He was born at Saint Beat, in the south of France, not far from the native villages of Joffre and his chief lieutenant, Gen Foch. It is an odd coincidence that these three
 men upon whom France so largely depends for the successful issue of the war are all Pyreaneans by birth
 Gen. CSal1ienf is of Italian origin, and
 has an Italian wife, while he speaks the language of his ancestors quite as fluently as the tongue of France. He was educated at the military school of St. Cyr, and graduated just in time to take part in theew war against Prus- sial.f After the conclusion of that dis astrous conflict, Gallieni, as a lieuten- ant of naval infantry, was sent to the French colonies in the Indian ocean. He spent nearly twenty years in cam paigntng in Indo-China, Reunion Island, Madagascar, Senegambia. Martinique, and various parts of Afri- ca. His experiences in the dark con tinent gave him the material fer a
 most interesting book on the Sudan. Service in the wilds, far from civil1za- ton, where the white man must face death ina thousand forms, is a severe test, and only the httest survive. Gen. GaI1ieni had more than his share of that sort of service, and he emerged from it a bronzed. stern. silent man, with a knowledge of warfare that could not have been gained by a long lifetime of drilling and sham battles. Gallieni's last important foreign ser vice was as governor of Madagascar, where he was the military, and civil ruler and court of last resort. He was chief of the department of de- fense in the war department when the European conflict commenced, but soon became the military governor of Paris E

Leopold de Rothschild, Head of Financial

Leopold de RothschiId the directing genius of the British house of the famous financial dynasty of Roths- child, was born three-score-and-te ten years ago today, Nov. 22. 1845. Since %he @eath of Lord Rot@-schild he has assumed the chieftainship of the great financial firm. Leopold de Roths- child is the third son of Baron Lionel de Rothschild,s whose title was con- ferred upon him by the Austrian gov lotte. daughter of Baron Charles de Rothschild of Naples. Their eldest son. the late Lord Rothschild,. was an English baron and baEonet and an Austrian baron. The second son, All fred Charles de Rothschild, survived his brother, but he is more interested in art than in finance, so the manage ment of affairs has largely devolved upon Lionel de Rothschild. He has been ably. assisted by the late Lord RothschiId's younger son, Charles Nathaniel de Rothschild, who inherit ed all of his fathers great interests except for an annual income of $25,- 900 a year conferred upon his elder brother. the present Lord Rothschild. The latter had already inherited vast wealth from other relatives, and, as he has never manifested any interest in increasing the family fortune, but has devoted his entire time to scienti- AEC QuISu1lS, He WcS OQ1(S W111lIS LIldI the burden of upho1ding the financial glory of the house should devoIve on his uncle and his younger brother Leopold de Rothschild has long been prominent on the British turf, and racing is one of his principal interests. He married an Austrian woman, Marie Perugia of Trieste, in 1881, and has three sons, all of whom are officers of the Royal Bucks Fusiliers, and have been serving in the Dardanel1es expedition. The youngest of his three sons, Lieut.. Anthony Gustav de RothschiId, was reported to have been seriously wounded some weeks ago. Leopo1d's sons have travelled exten- sively and have studied business and financial methods in the United States, Canada, Japan. France, Germany and other countries. They will not be ad- Initted to the firm, however, until the death of their father or of, their uncle
