 Later he was given a merchant yes sel fitted out with cannon. He sailed with four vessels to England. On the way he met the British merchant marine guarded by two British men of war. The merchant vessels took refuge on the English coast an" the warships advanced to fight. The shots of the English vessel the Serapis in hicted much injury on the Richard so that Captain Pearson of the Serapis thought it was sinking and asked the American commander, Has you ship struck ?'

 He had the two vessels lashed to- gether. He then turned his guns Cn the Serapis and after three and a half hours during which tho ships literally shot each other to pieces the Serapis had to yield. When the King of Eng land heard of this he conferred on Captain Pearson tho honour of knighthood. When Jones hoard of this he said, The next time I meet him at sea I'll make a lord of him. ''
 After the Revolution in which he served America so braVely and ably Jones made his home in France There in 1792 ended his adventurous life in which he had: as he said, "twenty-three battles and solemn en- counters by sea-"

EXPECT ROOSEVELT
 ID TAKE STUMP
Colonel May Make Active Cam-
 paign for Candidate Hughes

Oyster Bay, N. N., June 21-An- other important conference took place at Sagamore Hill yesterday in which five national committeeman of the progressive party and several leaders were present to discuss what action the committee shall take when it meets Monday to report on Col.
 Roosevelt's conditional refusal of the Bull Moose nomination.
 Inasmuch as there is no longer any doubt that Col. Roosevelt will support Justice Hughes the question about which the most speculation now re- wolves is whether the Colonel will support the republican nominee ac- lively. The answer to this question is believed to be in MT Hughes own hands, and if the republican nominee requests Col. Roosevelt to make cam paign speeches this fall it is under stood that the Colonel will take the stump.
 The opinion prevails here that MT. Hughes will extend the invitation and that he is only too anxious to get RooseVelt's active support. A meet [ ing between Roosevelt and Hughes is expected to be arranged as soon as the progressive national committee gets it's business over in Chicago on Monday, and it's report on that day is expected to be an acceptance of Col. ROoaovolt's declination of the nominHti0n and approval of MT. Hughes statement on Americanism. , At yesterdays conference the letter which Col. Roosevelt has written to l the progressive national committee i regarding his declinatiOn of the nom 1 ination was read to the committeeman who were present. They discussed it
 and approved it. They had luncheon 1 with the Colonel and then came away 1 satisfied.

bound for the Bahamas to get sup plies for American troops. The land ing place was New Providence. After some difficulty he brought the ships to a good anchorage. He took one hundred cannon and some supplies. After this hc was given command of a sloop. With this he went out and captured 62 prizes and brought them back to Newport. A superior officer, who was jealous of him, got the cOm- mand away from him, leaving him idle for a long time in America.
 Paul Jones gave advice to congress as to how we should build our new navy He said That a ship should be as well equipped as an army" He said, England has the best navy in the world, why not copy from her. He had an idea that we should carry on tho war on the other countries ground as well as they carry on the war on our ground.
 This idea pleased congress so much that Paul Jones was given command of the Ranger in the early part of 17T6. He accepted the command and started for England. At Whitchaven on the coast of England. he spiked the guns of the fOrtifications. While he was doing this he told his men to burn three hundred vessels which were anchored in the harbOr When he returned finding out that none of the ships had been destroyed he burnt the largest of them himself After this forty-four English vessels secured the ocean for him.

 Sketch of john Paul Jones.
 OIarold Thornley Day.)
 The American army during the Revolution war, for the most part, led by native Americans, while the off, cers of the navy were mostly Britons.
 John Paul Jones led a life on the sea up to the Revolution sailing on many merchant vessels until at last he became captain of one of them. On one of his first voyages he came to Virginia for a cargo of tobacco. After that he came to Virginia to liv7 because a brother had died in Vir- ginia leaving him a plantation. He did not succeed very well on the farm.
 When tho var broke out he went to congress and offered his service to congress free. He changed his name to Paul Jones when he entered our service, some think because he didn't want the British to know he was fighting for us. He was given a low place on one of the American vessels. Later he was made first lieutenant of the Alfred" which was

POLISH RESURRECTION.


 The first bloodshed of the great Polish rebellion of 1861 resulted from a clash between the soldiers and peo- pie 55 years ago today, April 8, 1861. The government had promised re- forms and establishment of the Polish Kingdom, but this did not quiet the people, and when the Agricultural Society was abolished a great mass meeting of protest was held in the capital. When the troops attempted to disperse the crowd they met, with resistance, end the battle which fol- lowed more than a, hundred were kill ed and wounded. The spirit of revolt spread to the rural districts, and a, reign of terror began in Warsaw. By autumn the city was in. a state of siege. The military governor, General Gerstenzweig, Was. assa assinated. Af- ter a year of constant turmoil the rfgor of the government relaxed In the spring of 1862 Grand Duke Con stantine was appointed governor, and he adopted a liberal and Ienient policy until an attempt was made on his fife. After that the insurrection broke out afresh, and a provisional government of Poles was established, while the country was put, in a state of siege. Many battles were fought, but the Poles were defeated. and by 1864 5O,o0O men had been slain and 100, 900 exiled to Siberia.

Mary Pickford 9 Today

Mary Pickford the petite and
 dainty little actress who is the idol of
 the movie ffans' of the United
 States and Canada and a considerable
 portion of the remainder of the world,
 will celebrate her twenty-second birth lday today. Miss Pickford is Cana
 dian by birth, and made her debut on the worlds stage in Toronto on April
 8, 1894. In this connection it may be said that Canada has produced large proportion of the theatrical stars
 of America, the list including Mar garet Anglin, Hope Booth, Clara
 Morris, Julia, Arthur, May Irwin, Eva Tanguay, Marie Dress1er, Rosel1e Knott, Lena AsIlwell Mime AIbani,
 Rose Stahl. James K. Hackett, Henry
 Miller, William Colirt1eigh and scores of others Miss Pickford was origi-
 nallys Gladys Smith, and she is now
 Mrs. Owen Moore in private life-if
 she ever finds it possible to have any private life. She started her stage
 career with stock company, and later was given parts in regular productions where little actress was required. She has confessed that there were periods in those days when she walk ed for miles to save five cents in car fare and when the future looked very dark and gloomy, Although she did not win any great success on the
 stage, she was an almost immediate
 
 screen. For three years her name was unknown to her multitude of ad- mirers, for the film company for which she worked did not believe in featuring the names of the players. Her face was known to all the regular patrons of the movie theatres, how ever, and her beauty and ability at last impressed itself upon MT. Belasco. He sent one of his agents to discover her
 name, and, that accomplished, he of
 fered her the leading role in "A Good
 Little Devil.'' From that moment her
 name became a household word, and no other star of the canvasback drama, with the possible exception of Charlie Chaplin, is now so we'll knewn-er so we'll paid. Miss Pickford was stage struck at the early age of five, and from that time she had but one deter uiRa3isn, and that was to shine in the dramatic world. She is a dramatist as well as an actress, and has written the scenarios for several of the most successful of the productions in which she has appeared. Few if any ae- tFesses iR the history of the Produc- lions have received as large an in
 come as Miss Piclford, but prosperity
 has not spoiled her, and she remains

Accused of having stolen a bayonet from the plant of the Remington Arms & Ammunition O., Samuel Tut hill of 654 Fairfield avenue, was ar raigned this morning in the city court His case was nolled, when Judge Bartlett gave him the benefit of d doubt.
 Tuthiif was employed in the gun barrel department of the arms plant Yesterday he was arrested when he displayed a bayenet in a saloon at HaHett and Shelton streets.
 The prisoner told the court he new CT saw a bayenet before, and didn't know they were made in the arms plant He said he found this one in a street near the plant. The piece of steel is valued at $14 and is fashioned after the French type of hayenet.
 Witnesses say Futhil tried to get money for the weapon in the saloon. E. A. CantiIliens a detective at the arms plant, sent two men te investi- gate, and these, after drinking with TuthiIl, alleged he tried to sell the bayonet and they had Policeman Thomas Kearney arrest him.
