Seventy-five members listened to the very interesting paper, entitled, Did You Know? that was read Charles. H. Pendleton, before the Westerly Historical society, Thursday night. At the tonclusion of the read~ ing the really instructive paper, Mr. Pendleton presented the society, a copy of the Historical Tree of Rhode Island, which was designed and pub- lished by John S. Kellogs, chief clerk of the state census, in 1885. This state tree is on the plan of family genea- logical trees, showing at a glance the origin of each town in the state with settlement or incorporation and Indian name, if any. M off-shoot of a”large branch, ting the Narragansett county, Westerly is shown as having been settled in 1651 it's Indian name having been ~ Mis- quamicut. Tncorporated as a May 14, 1669. Haversham is shown as an off-shoot of Westerly in 1696. The roots of the tree represent the Indian tribes’ tributary of the Narragansetts by whome the grants of Providence Plantations and Aquidneck were made in 1658, which grant constitutes the two 1nain branches. On the trunk are represented the charters of 1641 and 1563, the latter ensuing to the coleny, the Narragansett county, now Wash- ington county: above the roval decree of 1746-7, by which Cumberland, Little Compton, Tiverton and Bristol county were added; also the Massachuserts and Rhede Island boundary commis- sion of 1861, which exchanged _ Fall River for.

Policeman Michael Curtin when on Dayton street heard the re- port of a gun and hurried in the di- rection from which the report came. In Plerce street alley, the darkest sec- tion of that shady place, he came upon a group of men, and asked who fired the gun. One of the group pointed at Jimmy Shame and said he did nit, Policeman Curtin reached for Shame, who, gun in hand, leveled the weapon at the policeman’ Curtin struck the can, knoeking it downward, and as he closed in on Shame the gun_was discharged, the barrel being alongside Curtin's right foot, which was raised m the ground, the mouth of the n protruding a few inches beyond the foot. When the gun was dis- charged, no damage resulted, and Shame claimed that the discharge was accidental. Shame and the gun were aken to the police station by Curtiny ‘The officer was in doubt as to wheth- er Shame intended to shoot himand believes the gun might have been ac- mora accurate than the contour of the islands.

Rome, April 14—By an astonishing turn of fortune’s wheel, Prince Maffeo Sciarra, the last male member of one of the most anclent and wealthiest houses of Rome and twenty years ago of the principal social and political figures of Italy, has it again in his power to resume his former place in public life. is former wealth and prominence, followed by many years of abject pov- erty during which time he became widely known to Americans interested in the purchase of antiques and later still to his former friends as an agent for automobile insurance, brought him a certain popularity among _poorer people which he bhad never enjoyed in Pprosperity. The recent unexpected winning of an old jawsuit against the estates of the princes Earberini involving a million dollars, together with the payment of tee the very best PLUMBING WORK by expert workmen at the fariest orices. | back to 133: an income of 35,000 a year from the Knights of Malta, has revived interest in his career.

He was one of the most important of the group because of the splendor of a name that dates allying him with many noble houses in Europe and giving him no less than five titles among which are those of Prince of Nerola, Prince of Carbognano, Duke of Bas- sannello, Marquis of Corese, Count di Palazzuclo, and Baron di San Stef- ano. His prominence was increased be- cause of his great wealth, he them owning the magnificent Sciarra Palace in the Corso, and many villas, one of which occupied much of the Janiculum { hill since built up by weaithy Amer- icans and particularly the seat of the American Academy in Rome. The beginning of his loss of fortune was due partly to the wave of real es- tate speculation that In those days led to the premature improvement of Roman_property. But it was princi- paily due to his political ambitions. He founded the newspaper still known as the Tribuna and in it pushed the projects of his party. Curiously enough, the Sciarra Palace in the Cor- so with which he was forced to part is now the office of another news- paper, the Glornale d'Itaiia, the organ of another politician, Baron Sidney Sonnino, at present the Italian min- ister of foreign affairs. When his fortunes were ebbing Prince Maffeo sold in Paris one of Raphael's paintings which adorned his palace, “The Viokn Player”, snd by this act the deputy and politician was prosecuted for violation of the law forbidding the sale out of Italy of oid masters. This prosecution, in connection with other troubles, made him an exile in France. Finaliy, when he returned home a number of years ago scarcely a vestige of his 0ld fortune remained. It was with the utmost difficulty with- in a very recent period that he was sble to support either himself, his lit- tle girl or his beautiful young wife, Princess _Aliette, daughter of the French Marquis de Bonneval His mother shared his poverty and pre: ous to her death was supported by the charity Gf the Vatican in a convent. He lived in the courery at Frascatl where rent is cheap, and recelved business mail at the Chamber of Dep uties, as he had the right to do as & former member. At the age of 66 the Prince still possesses much of his old courage: adversity has not broken him. and this is why Rome is wondering if he will make a nmew and vigorous attempt to Teenter political life.
