OLD LONDON WALL
HAS BEEN FOUND
LONDON A part of the London
wall built by skilled Homan masons
In the early Christian era has just
been discovered at the back of the
Mlnorecs. The silo Is where the
wall. starting at the Homan fort
where afterwards William Ihe Con
queror built the Tower of London,
ran northward by what Is now known
as America Square. The course of
the Homan wall which for a long ]le

been determined with great aceuraey.
The discovery In America Square con
firm what had been con.* n ctured from
excavations elsewhere but It lias this
additional interest In digging out the
soil in front of the wall the line of
the ancient ditch has been traced.
Antiquaries now agree that the Ro
mans niHile a regular wet ditch all
around the city, though this has been
hotly. Desputed in Ihe past , the
more extensive City ditch, construct
ed early in ihe XMI century having
for the most part obliterated Its
traces. The wall found now Is In al
most perfect condition. It Is typical
In every detail of Ihe Hotnan con
structlon which seems never to hate
varied In Ihe entire circle of the city.
It Is K 1-2 feet In thickness and the
difficulty the workmen have found in
breaking It with wedges and sledge
hammers hears out the boast that Ihe
Homans built not for the day but for
all lime.

What her friends predicted came true
She returned one evening to find that
her room, has been broken into and
all her little savings stolen by the
man who she thought was going to
marry her. He had ihe insolence
moreover to leave a note in hiR hand
writing In which he said: “As I am
too honest, I prefer to tell you that

It away that nobody shall steal it."

singular honest lover.

MUSICIAN TRIED TO
STARVE HIS WIFE
PARIS—A German Musician has
been arrested at Nice on the charge
of having treated his wife with crim
inal neglect, having kept her locked
up for months in a dark room. The
couple came to reside at Nice some
five years ago and the man, a talented
artist at once made many friends
He occupied an apartment in the
Avenue Forrighone and seemed to be
getting on very well, but the neigh
bors were rather surprised at never
seeing him accompanied by his wife.
It is alleged that for the last six
months he kept her shut up in a dark
; room, visiting her only rarely and
i actually starving her. Anonymous
I letters reached the police and finally
S a sister of the wife asked the au
ithorities lo make an investigation.
| The detectives went to the Alcazar
I d'Ete where the musician played and
I asked him to follow them to the sta
| tion house. The chief of police,
j and an examinating magistrate then
j went with him to his apartment,
; where his unfortunate wife was found
shut up in a dark room in total neg
lect lying on an Iron bed and a mat
tress. The state of the room baffled
all description. When the chief of
police tried to open a window to let
in air he found it Impossible to do so.
There was no furniture in the apart
ment worth speaking of. The woman
was reduced to a skeleton and had
to be carried to a hospital in blankets.
She smiled faintly when the police
entered, hut either through want or
illness did not seem to he in full
possession of her faculties. Her
husband declared he had not been
able to pay for medical assistance. A
German doctor was called and said
that he had in fact been asked to at
tend his wife and he recommended
her removal to a hospital 3 months
ago, which he thought had been done. :
Marks were found on the woman's,
body as if she had been beaten, but!
her husband denied having ever
struck her. The marks he said were;
probably due to 'alls, she had sus
tained. He was nevertheless detain
ed in custody.

GENERAU3OOTH BEL!EV~IS
IN WOMAN’S EQUALITY
LONDON—What General Booth the
veteran founder of the Salvation
Army thinks of women is expressed
In ills latest message to the army.
"First and foremost” the general
says, "I Insist on women s equality.
Woman is as important as valuable,
as capable as man and just as neces
aary tp the progress and happiness of
the world. Unfortunately a large
number of people of every class think
otherwise. They still elirg to the no
tion of bygone ages that as a being
woman is Inferior to men. To many
she is little more than a plaything for
tin ir leisure hours. To others she is
like a piece of property, a slave iu
everything hut in name. Often she is
treated with less consideration as to
health and comfort tknn horses that
run in omnibuses or beasts that are
fattening for slaughter. Taken as a
whole I say that woman Is equal to
man In the value of her gifts and ex
tent of her influence and I maintain
that if she b ( given n fair chance she
will prove It to be so. Let the boy be
taught from his earliest infancy flint
his sister is as good a* he is in all
that is important to life except per
haps in physical force, which he poss
esses in common with brute beasts.
Let the girl be made to feel that her
value to God and man Is as high as
it would have been had she been a
boy. Whether married or single, let
every man treat the woman with
whom he is acquainted with respect,
with patience and with rare and b*t
us determine to pay woman more re
gnrd In the position assigned to her as
a wife, as a mother, and as a
daughter.

Still less can they fßoe dkerctae which
