the world, from the Greco-Persian and Roman -Carthaginian conflicts to the European struggle of to-day, Ad- mira1 Chadwick reaches the conclu- sion that the possession of great n1iIi- tary power is of little moment as com pared with naval strength. t'The na- wy in all countries has ever been, and as far as we can now judge, ever will be, a pre- eminent instrument of gov ernment,'' writes Admiral Chadwick s'It was through her navy that Greece destroyed the power of Persia; Rome that of Carthage; the Allies at Lepan- to that of the Turks; England that of Holland and later that of France in America; the navy of France, in turn caused the relinquishment of Great Britain's sovereignty over the thirteen colonies which formed the United States, and a generation later it was the British navy which made the ef- fort of the great Napoleon the base less fabric of a vision.'' He adds that the navy of the Union crushed the Confederacy by cutting off supp plies, that it made possible the speedy victory over Spain, and that now .tGermany's every sea outlet is closed by the British fleet, so superior in number to the German, and Ger man commerce on the sea is for the time entirely swept away.''

17TH BIRTH THDAY
 OF FAMOUS U. s.
 NAVAL WARRIOR


 This is the seventeenth birthday anniversary of one of the most dis tfnguished of Uncle Sam's naval of f1cers, Rear-Admiral French Ensor Chadwick, retired. It is true that the famous sea warriors biogra phy sets forth the fact that he served on the Marblehead in pursuit of the Con federate steamers Florida and Tal- lahassee in the Summer of '64, but that was shortly after the embryo ad- n1iraI had passed his fifth birthday. Admiral Chadwick was born in Nor gantown, w. Va, on Feb. 29, 1844. and hence has been cheated out of three-fourths of the birthdays that normally fall to the lot of humans. It was just half a century ago that he received his commission as ensign and became a fu1I-fedged officer of the United States Navy. He was in com mand of the New York and chief of staff of Admiral Sampson during the Spanish-American war, and partici- pated in the most important engage rnents in the Atlantic during that brief conflict, and was promoted flor emil nent and conspicuous conduct in bat tIe.''
 Admiral Chadwiclx's name appears on number of volumes, including Temperament, Disease and Health,' Causes of the Civil Var and 'sThe American Navy The latter volume, published last year. is a highly inter esting contribution to naval history. Flashing in review the great wars of

THE SHAKERS.

The first Shakers in America were the converts of ~Mother Ann'' Lee, who was born in Manchester, Eng, --e0 years ago to-day, Feb. 29, 1736. She was the daughter of a blacksmith and in her girlhood was employed in a cotton factory. She married Abra- ham Stanley. a blacksmith, and the pair joined a company of religious en- .husiasts who claimed apostolic gifts of vision, revelation and prophecy, and preached the speedy second com ing of Christ. Their physical agi- tation during their meetings led the zzngOdly to refer to them as Sha- <z4re>s' a name afterward generally ap- piled to the sect. Ann became the leader of the band, and was confined in prison for a time because of her disinclination to wear clothes when in a state of pious ecstacy. Iu 1774 she received a revelation that she was to carry the light to America. and sailed with her husband and eight followers. The blacksmith soon abandoned both his wife and his re- lfgIon, and the prophecies assumed her maiden name of Lee and with a few disciples founded a Shaker col ony near Troy, N. Y., where she died in 1784. The first Shaker meeting house was built in 1785 at Mount Le- hanan. Golumbla. county. N. r. The

VIM. Farnum, Palace Today

Realism in motion pictures and
realistic acting are two things that
William Farnum, famous star of the
William Fox production, "A Man of
Sorrow" insists upon, or rather did in
sst upon until the other day when a
bit of realistic acting on the part of
Peggy" one of the leading canine
actors of the world. placed Farnum
on the hospital list for day.
1t came about thus: Farnum, who
has been justly termed the greatest
fighter on the screen, was engaged in
dragging up the street the villain of
the play. when Peggy" cast in a
prominent part, took it upon herself
to defend the villain.
As Fighting Bill dragged the vii
lain along by the neck, with a howl
ing mob in pursuit, Peggy" made a
flying leap and her jaws snapped like
a vice on Farnum's left leg
.+NON W 4olliN w spun Nllt BlNlult,
and realizing that "Pcggy's" acting
was all that he could demand in the
way of realism, Farnum continued to
drag his victim another block or so,
with Peggy" clingng to him. SO in
tent was he on playing his part that
he did not know how seriously he had
been injured until the scene was fin
ished.
F'arnum had the wound cauterized
and was able to resume the leading
role in the production next day, but
he says, hereafter he will take care
that Peggy" does not participate in
any of his fighting scenes.
This strong photoplay is shown at
the Palace today.
