HAYH EUROPE LOOKS
TO AMERICA FOR PEACE.
WASHINGTON: Miss Jane Addams
of Chicago, heading a delegation of
pacifists, told the Senate committee
on Foreigri Relations and the House
of Foreign Affaire Committee today
that all the belligerent countries of
Europe want somebody to show them
the way to peace and at' the same time
let them save their faces. And she
pleaded with the committeee to en
list the strength of the United States
to help end the war.
Near the close of the hearing be
fore the House of Committees Miss
Addams was asked by Representative
cooper of Wisconsin as to the truth
of reports that the women pacifists
traveling in Europe had been received
In the spirit of ridicule, or with po
lite and indifferent tolerance.
“These reports were not true," said
Miss Addams, “The people in this
country do not realize that the people
In Europe are walaiug .baud in hand
with death and destruction, that tnere
has. been death and gr.ief in practi
cally every, family, and that the
-masses in.every country- want peace.
We were received . with solemnity
and respect everywhere.
The Pope expressed- nis surprise
that the women had taken so long a
time to raise their voices in protest
against this great struggle. The Ger
man Chancellor, who had only re
cently lost a son and upon whose
shoulders rested such burdens as sel
dom come to any man, listened to our
suggestions most earnestly.”
Miss Addams said she found in
Europe dissatisfaction among the
people of all nations embroiled in the
present struggle.
The. representatives of the Y/o
man's Peace Party appeared in sup
port of legislation committing this
nation to a movement to take the
initiative movement in peace plans.
At thp. conclusions of. the hearings
Carrol Livingston Riker of New
York said he:would ask a subsequent
hearing on the Lane-Shallenberger
resolution to create a commission of
five Americans including President
Taft and William Jennings Bryan, to
visit Europe and aid in the peace
movement. Associated with Mr. Riker
in miDDort of this resolution are
several New York men, including
Herman A. Metz, William Fellows
Morgan, President of the Merchant’s
Association; Charles R. Bernheimer,
W. D. Dickey, and William H. Gib
son, President of the Board of Trade
and Transportation of New York.
Miss Addams told the Sonate Com
mute that in Germany she had found
a strong movement know as the Anti
Annexation Society, which wanted
Germany to pledge itself to give up
Belgium and all conquered territory
at the close of the war. In England,
she said, there was a strong move
ment for peace.
j Miss Addams said that -Holland,
Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, and
j Denmark had assured her they would
I participate in a peace conference
if assured that the United Spates
j would participate.

Gale addressed :lhe committees.
In thanking the.visiting delega.'ion
for. their addresses Chairman Stone
of the Senate Committe referred to
Senator Williams of Mississippi, who
wag beside him, as a great peace man.
“Yeg,” said Mr. Williams, “I am
for peace. Especially I don’t want
any one to pick a row with me. When
I hear ladies talking for peace I am
always reminded of an old Confed
erate soldier to whom I expressed my
wonder that the Confederates should
have fought on after defeat was cer
tain. “Well John,” he said, “I should
have liked to go home myself. But
we were afraid to. We were afraid of
the women.” For the gentlest woman
when aroused is a fiendish thing. And
when I say I am for peace I do not
mean that there are not certain things
for which I would npt fight. For I
do not wish to lose the respect of my
wife and daughter. I should take
arms when the quarrel' 'reached a
certain point, for I should not wish
my wife to divorce me or to be dis
owned by my daughter.’! •
SUES FOR A DIVORCE BUT
FINDS SHE IS TOO LATE
At Fairbanks, on November 10,
1906, a couple were married and the
next day the newspapers published a
notice that Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong
would shortly be at their home to
their friends. The Juneau Empire
tells the rest of the story as follows:
Later Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong
came to Juneau and took up their
residence here. In June, 1912, around
about the first of the month, Mr.
Armstrong according to his wife dis
appeared. Later Mrs. Armstrong sued
in the local court for divorce, her
complaint charging that she had been
deserted.
Today J. G. Held, attorney for Mrs.
Armstrong, secured the granting of
the dismissal of the case. It appears
that Mr. Armstrong after leaving Ju
neau, returned. to Fairbanks. Hp
later applied for a divorce there and
secured it. Several days ago he ar
rived in Jundau and gave information
of what he had done and the case of
his former wife was dismissed. Mrs.
Armstrong is now in Seattle.

Just before the ground would have re

THE MAMERTINE PRISON.
Where King Jugurtha and St. Paul
Wera Immured.
The reputed place of St. Paul's long
Imprisonment, the Forum, is the center
of the noblest ruin of Koine. Not far
froui the center of the busy, noisy,
modern city rise the scarred ruins of
her ancient glory. Here are the temple
of Saturn, with its eight columns; the
often copied three columns of the
temple of Castor and Pollux, the arch
of Scptlmius Severus, the temples of
Vesta and Caesar and many other fa
mous ruins, and beyond are the pal
aces of the Caesars. Not far away is
the magnificent colnmii of Trajan, 147
feet in height, around which run re
liefs of the emperor’s wars, containing,
it is said, over 2,500 sculptured human
figures.
Close to the entrance to the Forum,
this most wonderful collection of the
ruined monnmei.ts of ancient times, is
a small church called the Church of
St. Giuseppi del Falegnnni. Under this
church are two dungeons, an upper ami
a lower, called the Mainertine prison,
and from a hole in the upper chamber
prlsoncrs were lowered iuto the noi
some hole below, sometimes to perish
miserably of starvation, as did Jugur
tha. king of Numidia, with whom
schoolboys become so familiar In their
first year of Katin.
in this dungeon, uncounted thousands
ol' Christians believe, St. Paul and St.
Peter were immured, and every year
on the night of the 4th of July repre
sentatives of a'll the churches of Home
assemble by torchlight and "in solemn
silence kneel in front of the tradition
al pillar."—Christian Herald.
ART WORK IN WOOD.
A Striking Cameo Effect and How It
Was Produced.
"1 saw a uew thing, in the urt line
the other <lay which surprised me und,
1 may also say, pleased me.” said an
urt resort dilettante In a group of
kindred spirits, "it _ was what the
artist' called a wood cameo, und it was
something I had never seen before.
•That’ll \VAs wood did not appear as
It hung on the vvtiil. and I asked him
for particulars, it was about a foot
square with an oval center, containing
a lias-relipf of a Greek goddess. The
square was in ebony and mahogany
and the head in white wood.
“He had secured his cameo effects
by first building up his square with
the three layers, glued and pressed so
tightly that there were no marks of
cleavage, and had out. through them
exactly as cameo carvers cut through
the usual shell cameos. The ebony
front was plain, but finely polished,
and the entire effect, was excellent.
“He told me it was his first finished
work, though lie had been practicing
for two years, and. while he was not
entirely satisfied with It. there was
considerable consolation to him In the
fact that he had an offer of $100 when
ever lie wanted to dispose of it.”—

Famous Abductions.
Marriage h.v abduction was by no
means uncommon in the early ages.
The daughter of the king of Argus
was abducted by a Phoenician The
Greeks carried off Eurqpa from Tyre
and Medea from Colc.his.
Next to the abduction of the fair
Helen, perhaps tlie most remarkable
in its political consequences was the
king of Leinster's taking away of the
wife of a neighboring petty sovereign.
O’Uourke of Breffnl.
The king of Connaught avenged the
insult and drove from the throne his
brother of Leinster, who appealed to j
Henry II. of England for aid to recov
er his lost sovereignty. The Norman
conquest of Ireland followed, with cen
turies of war and devastation.
Nelson Won the Elgin Marbles.
Lord Elgin, whoso name has become
so inseparably associated with the fa
mous sculptures, never saw them In
their original places in the Parthenon,
tie employed artists to make him
drawings of the sculptures, uud it was
they who urged him to have the won
derful relics of ancient Greece remov
ed to England to save them from do
struction. Elgin repeatedly appealed
to the porte for permission to remove
them, hut the request was refused un
til Trafalgar. As soon as he heard of
Nelson's victory the sultan said, "You
may take them now as soon as you
please.”—I.ondon Mirror.

Crabshaw—Very true, but just stop
