SIGN OF AUTHORITY
WHAT THE MACE MEANS TO ASSEMBLED -
SEMBLED CONGRESS.
Inalgnla Is of the Most Ancient and
Honorable OrigIn-Was Firat
Used Under the Roman
Republic.
At the right of the spenker's desk
In the hall oC the house of repreoon- I
tntlves In tho-capitol at Washington I I
stands a largo cylindrical pedestal i
made ot highly pollshod green marblo.
When the house Is called to order
each day the Borgennt.at.arms , or ono
of his doputles , places u ) > on this pedestal -
tal the mace , which Is , the symbol oC
Authority In the house. When the
dy adjourns , says St. Nicholas , he
Iremovos It , and keep" It In safety until
! the house l1Ieets again.
' 1'hls mace Is of very anclont and
lonorablo origin. Under the old Roman -
man repubIlc , the magistrates pnssed
iOn toot from ono place to another , nd-
Imlnlsterlng justice , trying pubIlc of-
! fonders. and lmpo&lng penalties.
Each of these magistrates was at-
ended by a small body of men known
; ns l1elors , whose duty It was to make
way for the officers of the law. . . preserve -
serve order , make arrests and lnnIct
punishment on condemned citizens.
Each of these l1ctors carried with
him a bunch of rods , tied together with
'
'thongs , and having an ax bound to
ttho outsldo ot It. The thongs wore
, used for beheading. Sentences imposed -
posed by the magistrates were at once
carried out.
' 1'heso bundles at rods were known
, as fasces. When the maglstratcs
pnssed along the thoroughfares the
Jlctors preceded them , bearing the
fasces alor.t . , and the assembled clU-
'zena Immediately made way for thorn.
, When any disorder -arose nearby ,
, the lIctors appeared with the fnsces ,
upon the sight of which quiet was Instantly -
stantly restored. No Roman citizen
ever ventured to question the authorIty -
Ity of this emblem.
When the Romans conquered Britain -
ain the use of the tasces as a symbol
was brought with them , and lIke many
other Roman customs remained with
the British people.
While It was no longer used tor Inflicting -
flicting punishment It continued to be
used as a symbol by the 'early ngUsh
magistrates , and when ani officer appeared -
peared carrying the fasces his authority -
thority was hmnedlately accepted by
all. It was , In cffect , his badge of of-
, fice.
'fho English form of L. , fasces was
slightly changed In that the ax was
. placed inside of the bundle of rods ,
with hlade protruding from the top.
The great councils of the early Sax-
o s gradually developed Into one general -
eral body , which In the fourteenth
century became known as the house
, of commons. In all these curlIer
, councils th9 , USe of the fasces wns continued -
tinued , but It then came to , be Imown
, ns the macer whIch has remained as
the emoblem of leglslutlve authority
In that body down to the prcsent ay.
The house of representatives of the
_ United States was modeled closely
after the house of commons by the
framers of our constitution and the
usage of the mace was borrowed from
the English custom.
The first mace adopted by the
house was destroyed by fire when the
'Br1t1sh burned the capitol In 1814.
From 1814 until 1842 a mace of painted -
ed wood did servlco , but In the lat-
tel' ) 'ear the present mace was made ,
after the model at the original one.
It Is about three teot In height and
consists of a bundle of ebony rods ,
bound together with a band of silver ,
after the fashion of the fascos. From
the center of thl bundle of rods protrudes -
trudes a silver stem , on which Is a
! ! ! Ilver globe four or 1tve Inches In di-
ameter. This globe Is an eagle of
solid sllvor with outspread wings.
This mace Is tllO emblem at authorIty -
Ity In the house , and 'Nhen , as some.
times happens , that body becomes
unruly and seems quite beyond the
speaker's control , the sergeant-at-
arms appears , aud , Uftlug the mace
from the pedestal , bears It up and
down the aisle of the hall. Instantly
every member slnls Into his scat , order -
der Is restored at once , and absolute
silence provalls. Any members who
disregards the mnco Is In "contempt , "
and is liable to censure or oven expul-
sion.

GATEWAY OF ANCIEN' " CHINA.
Old Mud Fort With Heaps of Small
Stonco for Use of Defenders.
Chla.yu.I\uan : has for centuries been
the BllOt where merchants , as well 101.8
ombassles from the West , have be n
torced to await the } lermls810n of the
mighty emperors ot CathM' before on-
terlng ChIna. As such , and from Its
remote sltuatlon-remcte , that Is , so
far as Europeans are concernod-thls
frontier post has long enjoyed a halo
of romance In Chlneso oycs. In realIty -
Ity It Is a mud brick fort , tar Inferior
to such places as are to bo seen at
Lahore and other Indian cantonments
long ago glvon up , except as mero-
quarters.
The walls at Chla.yu.Kuan enclose
an area Homo 120 to 160 yards square.
On the north and south sides these
are double the outer , being ' 20 foot
high and four to six feet thlcl. . East
and west there are double gates of
soUd aspect , and the Inner wlln Is 35
(0 40 feet high all around. From out-
sldo the fort has , to the Oriental eye ,
an Imposing appearance , which the Inside -
side docs Its best to atone tor. Hero
Is to be seen a collection of dirty
mud hovels , with one official resldenco
of the poorest Idnd. Along the wall
runs a narrow pam pet , som ! ) tour
feet from the summit , but , owing to
Its height , unapproachable tram holow ,
except In two or three places.
From the 110lnt of view at modern
defense the whole position Is pltlablo.
Guns there are none , the garrison
consists of a half score withered old
men of the usual Chinese type and
these are the proud poss ssors of
wooden jlngnlls. Hav.lng said so much
It might seem that the worst has been
told , but this Is not so. With no In-
tontlon to hurt the feeUngs of the
trust ) " garrison to whos charge is
committed the most udvanced outpost

be added that 111l0s of small stones
are heaped at Intervals along the
pn.rnpet wall. With these It may bo
presumed that the defenders will be
called upon some day to meet a fee
advancing from - the northwest.

"When I married the doctor , " she-
said , "his abbrevIation of g. 11. amused

found that It meant 11'101'0 than a grate ,

asked me.to . be nice to because she

more or less for fOUl' year ! ! i the other

o\'en the services oc' the nUl'se. Now
both t1 ese women are popular In different -

the doctor a patient or two. So If I

move majestically down Jnto the sea ,
until mighty Icebergs , a monstrous

amid thunderous reports-once , the
only sound that broke the profound
silence of those awful solitudes.

HUMILIATING FATE OF MANY OF

the Cup , Stili Afloat.
-
Of , the famous big yachts which
have been built to d fend the Ameri-
ca's cup , some hnve gene to the scrap
heap and nothing Is loft of them but
the hu11 , some are used as party
boats ; sarno have a brush with their
I3lster yachts now and then , and some
are Jald up at piers , dismantled , out
of commission and useless. The active -
tive life 'of the defenders of the Amer-
Ica's cup Is not long , but their old age
seems eTerlastlng , and they will all
seem comparatlvoly young as Jong as
the tamous cItpper schooner , the pioneer -
eer , Amorlca , swings to the tide at
the Chelsea bridge , noston , still the
admiration at all who Jook at her.
Fittingly enough , 11er history since
she won the cup , In 1851 , has been
moro stirring than that of her sls-
tors.
tors.Every
Every challenge tor the famous cup
which she won and brought to this
country but revives the story of the
famous yacht. When the n ws.of . the
victory of the Amorlca reached this
country , about two weeks after the
event , a celebration was In progress at
the state house which marked the
oponlng of railway communication between -
tween the United States and the Canadian -
adian provinces , and Daniel Webster
wns addressing a largo audlenco in
the house of ropresentatlves. He
brol\O off In his speech to announce
the victory , and said : "Llko Jupiter
among the gods , America Is first , and
there Is no second. "
The' America had a checkered career -
reer after sal11ng to this country , and
came very near being destroyed. She ;
was sold In the same year in which
she won the cup to Lord John de ll1a. I
qulere , an officer In the Indian army.
He sold her a couple of yenrs later' '
to Lord Templeton , who laid her up
at Cowes In 1854 , where she remaIned
untll 1859. When hauled out that
year It was tound that dry rot had set
In , and she would have fallen apart
and ended her career then , but the
owner ot tbe Northfieet yard , where
she was halled out , bought her.
To preserve the famous model , he
gave her new frames of oak and teak
and elm planlt1ng. In1860 she was
sold to H. E. Decle , who named her
CamllIa. In AprtI , 1861 , she was pur-
cliased by a man at Savannah and
fitted out as a dispatch boat and
blockade runner for the confederacy
and named the 1\Iemphls.
She was put up at auction In :1,870 : ,
and Gen. Benjamin F. Butler bought
her through a frIend , Col. Jonas H.
French , for $5,000. , She Is still In the.
family , being owned by a grandson of

TREASURY ATDELPHl ' 1'
ANCIENT BUILDING BEING RESTORED -
STORED BY THE FRENCH.
Wal Built by the Athenians Out of
the Spoils of the Famous
. . Battle of Mara- .
thon.
The French are engaged In restoring
the ancient treasury of the Athenians
at Delphi which Pausanlns , tbe Greel.
traveler , declares was ImtIt out of th
spoils of the battle of Marathon. The
precincts of the temple ot Apollo at
Delphi , the great thenter and the
stadIum , were excavated : by French
archaeologists In 18D2.1807 , and the
French school at. Athens hnd Imbllshed
some splendid plates of the results.
Ono of the most Interesting of the dls-
coverlos was the Identical treasury of
the Athenians of which Pausnnlas
speaks , and the site of the Portico , not
far from It.
Mr. J. G. Frazer , in his edition of
Pausanlas , has the fol1owlng InterestIng -
Ing remarks upon that building , which ,
, ns our picture shows , Is now being re-
,
erected by the French :
"The remains of this treasury were
excavated by the French In-1893 and
1894. The building , about 32 feet 10
Inches long from east to west , by 19
feet 8 Inches broad from north to
south , occupied a terrace hlghor up
than the Slcynlan and Slphnlan treas-
urlcs on the north side of the Sacred :
wny. Apparently the edlfico ( the
treasury of the Athenians ) was overthrown -
thrown by an earthquale and crushed
I by the weight of materIals which rolled :
down on It from the temple abovo. But. .
tbe foundations exist , and the archltec- .
