Rfenzi. Last of the Tribunes.

Rienzi last of the Tribunes of Rome,
on June 20, rose above the struggles of
the mobiles of the Eternal City, seized
the chief power and expelled them in
an effort to restore the ancient liber-
ties of the city. Lawlessness and dis
order, which had been the order of
the day, disappeared under his wise
administration, which, unfortunately,
was overthrown after an existence of
but seven months by q counter-revo-
luton. Rienzi was the son of an inn
keeper Despite his humble birth he
early displayed desire for learning.
The history of his own Rome interest
ed him above all else. Already in his
time the Eternal City had passed the
Zenith of Its power and Rienzi's
dreams were of nothing but the restor-
alton of the glory of his native city.
he was eloquent on the subject and
his enthusiasm kindled the flame In
others With saddened heart he look
upon the doings of the mobiles, those
who were supposed to be Rome's lead
ers. And then one morning Rome
woke up and found that Rienzi was
king. He called himself Tribune"
but In reality was the absolute mas
ter OF the Eternal City. Stephen Col
onna, mightiest of the proud mobiles
or Rome. was absent when the revolt
took place. Rienzi gave Rome an
excellent administration and the city
was once more on the way toward oc-
cupying It's former proud position. But
this glory was short lived The no.
bility conspired against him and in
cited the Roman mob to tear its deliv-
erer from his throne. On Oct. 8.
1854 the mob marched to the attack.
Rienzi was sought out in his palace
and laid low by q thrust with the
dagger going the way of the former

Good and evil divide power this day,
according to astrology. The Sun and
Jupiter rule strongly for the welfare
of. man, while Venus and Neptune
are mildly adverse.
1t is a time to push all large busi-
ness affairs, especially those with for
eign countries where aid from govern
ment heads Is needed.
Russia has sway making for great
enterprises. which may be retarded
by national events of sinister import.
South America has a leading that
should benefit the United States.
This should be a lucky government
for quests for positions or appoint
ments. 1t is fortunate rule under
which to look for work.
Women are not likely to be SO for
tunate under this confiagration as
men. but in the coming weeks they
will prosper financially wherever they
seek employment.
Theatres have an uncertain rule,
They are subject to changing condi-
tions that will greatly alter methods
OF business and general policies con-
corning plays.
Fame for new managers and young
players will be gained not alone on
the stage in the next year.
Diplomatic problems of greatest i'm
portance relating to allies with one of
whom the United States may be at
variance, are presaged.
Congress continues under a plane
tary government that seems to prom
ise many exciting incidents and ten
denotes toward lack of harmony.
Danger OF sudden deaths is believed
to be increased during the next few
weeks.
Again the need of extreme cleanli-
ness In person and care to prevent
food contamination in cities is en-
phasized.
Persons whose birthdate It is should
be careful Of new enterprises and of
false friends.
Children born on this day probably
will be exceedingly clever, original in
thought and enterprising. Girls may
not be happy in marriage. but they
will probably be brilliant and beauti-
ful as well as exceedingly tempera-
mental.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW

Secretary of War Baker Is rather
puerile in the attitude he has taken
regarding the publication of tho

lean troops in France. 1t would

people know what is going on In re-
