She vr&s born jttst two years before Columbus discov ered America; she was the friend of Tasso and Me literary constituency, and she so softened by her friendship the tempera ment and work of the rugged Michael An geh that her influence was indelibly stamped upon the maturer work of this king among artists. At the time of Vlttoria Colomw-'s birth (H80) the family estates, already very large, had been greatly enriched by a gift VITTORIA of many beatittftti towns and castles from Martin, the Cotonne. pope, a great-uncle of VHtoria's father. It was in one of these newt)- acquired strongholds, the cas tle of Oondotfo, whose wooded heights overlooked the Lake of Albano and the picturesquely waited but gloomy town of Marino, that the baby Vlttoria was born. She was not destined, however, to re main long In this feudal retreat where the turbulent Colonnas and their kindred, the OrstnU, raided and harried each other's fiefs much in the manner of the Toysl border warriors of Scotland. In order to cement more firmly the shift ing allegiance which the princely Colon nas had sworn to Ferdinand, King of Aragon. this monarch arranged a mar riage between Vlttoria, then a child of 4 yfare, and hie suoject, Ferdinand .d'Ava- iOK, son oi tfie Marquis of Pescara, a lit , dvu i rc mmiuig oi x-escara, a lit- t" m t-.teissin unuer sorrow s siern a's tle boy of her own age. As this childish J cipline they still lacked the forceful betrothal was decided upon with about as mucn sentiment as a feudal lord would display In bartering hie serfs, it is rather surprising to learn that the openly mer cenary transaction turned out most fa vorably for these princely children. Im mediately after her betrothal Vlttoria was sent to the island of Ischla, the home ol her future husband, that she might be educated with him, under the care of the widowed Constansa d'Avatos. Duchess of Franoavtlla, the young Pescara's elder Bister. This remarkabie woman by royal appointment had been made Governor and Chatelaine of Ischla, one of the most im portant keys of the Kingdom. In thir capacity she showed rare prudence and energy, and as an eminently cultured woman gathered to her Island home the fin est intellects of the day. In this delight ful atmosphere Vlttoria and Ferdinand de veloped congenial literary tastes and passed most happily and affectionately the days of their betrothal. When they reached the age of 17 their marriage was celebrated in Ischla with much pomp and ceremony. The flower of Italy, sailing homeward in their beauti fully appointed r3ats from the island wed ding pronounced the bride and groom to be mentally and physically of the noblest patrician type. Among the family arch ives In the Colonna palace is to be found a moat painstaking document, setting forth the merits, color and price of the elabo rate gifts exchanged by bride and bride groom. The two-year honeymoon follow ing this brilliant wedding has frequently been alluded to by Vittoria as the truly happy part of her life. At the end of this time Italy was about to enter upon that period generally known as the second dark age in her history. During the three years between l4S and 14SC. Naples had been governed, more lit erally, plundered, by five kings. Milan, too. had proved a tempting bone of con tention for which the kings of France and Spain were carrying on bloody war fare the Pope siding with Spain, while Venice aided France.

SEYMOUR EATON her as a son, became a brave, renowned man and always looked upon his gentle, childless guardian as the mother of hi moral nature. As far as possible Vlttoria kept herself in touch with her husband's prowess, passing affectionately over many at those portions of his life which modern his tcrians condemn. Descendant herself of a long Illustrious line of freebooters noted for clannish warfare, and sharing the gen eral insensibility to the call of patriot ism, it is hardly to be wondered at that the devoted wife romantically glossed over many of her husband's imperfec tlons. His last achievements, however, strained even her loyalty. As general In chief of the armies of Lombardy (at the age of 35) he betrayed his allies in a treacher ous plot. which he had originated against the Emperor Charles V. As a reward for his infamy he was accorded the rank of generalissimo of the Imperial forces in Italy, a gratification which he did not live to enjoy for a year. When Vlttoria heard rumors of her husband's base part in this transaction she wrote him a let ter beseeching him to abandon the proj ect, insisting that she would far rather be the wife of a loyal and upright man COIOXSA. than of a king. By the time this letter reached Pescara he was already begin ning to feel disastrous effects from his three wounds at Pavia, which, cfimblhed with the uneasiness consequent Upon hid treachery, caused this Italian Benedict Arnold to experience a eudden And prem ature falling away of his stfehgth. In alarm he sent for his wife, whom he had not seen in three years, but while hasten ing to join him she was met with the news of his death. , At the age of 38 the Marchioness of Pes cara, always better kh6wn Dy her maiden name of Vlttoria Colonna, became a Widow and spent the next 10 years of her life in writing poems of despair. While those sonnets show a great Improvement over those written to while away the time in her Ischian retreatas 111 w8rk gains in strength under sorrow's stern d's hand of n cront ttri&t. ftn h.mMri .. thirty-four, In all, the changes are rung with ama2lhg Ingenuity upon the virtues of the ferocious Pescara, one sonnet even going so far as to express the widow's metrical fear that she m'ght not be suf ficiently prepared to be admitted into the same heaven with her incomparable spouse. Those who bring heavily the charge of insincerity against these poems, which were eagerly awaited by the liter ary populace and jealously handed from king to cardinnl, must remember that at this time the sonnet, despite its artificial restrictions, was the acknowledged veh icle of the thought of the day; that the loathsome details of PGscara'fi cruelty probably never pierced the Insular boH tudeof Ischla, and that Vlttoria, who had seen her husband but seldom since he becamo a professional warrior, lived largely upon her memories of their ro mantic youth. During the latter part of her life the Marchioness became deeply Interested in the more progressive) religious views stirring through intellectual Europe, and her later sonnets known as the "Rime Splrltuale" show plainly the broadening touch of the Renaissance. Several medals which were struck of her at this time show her in the full bloom of her power and cttest the adoration of Italy. She lived 1o see three editions of her poems pub lished, copies of her sonnets being as eagerly sought .as Is the book cf the day in our circulating library. She was, however, utterly unspoiled by the adula tion of the contemporary poets, wits, diplomatists and other officers of state or church, because her mind was so. upon higher things. The last 10 years of her life were hal lowed by the pure friendship of Michael Angelo. The grace and delicacy of Vlt torla's earlier sonnets now gained in force and inspired the great artist to wield the poet's pen with the same boldness with which he had used the chisel and the brush. She also did much to soften the harshness of the artist's religious views, and his biographers record with satis faction that the last few years of his em bittered life were sweetened by the com panionship of so noble a woman.

CLUB HAS HUNDRED MEMBERS Elfchtfa-tVhrd Republicans Meet and DiHcnss Registration. The Eighth Ward Republican Club, which was recently organized, held its regular meeting in Gruner's Hall Thurs day evening, and the meeting was well attended. There was a good interest showhi The officers of the club are as follows: President, E. M. Edmunds; vice president, George Whidden; secretary, N. A. Bosslrii It has now been organized for about four weeksi and the president re ports It h&6 a membership of about 1C0. At the meeting held Thursday evening various matters pertaining to the Eighth Ward were discussed, and It was the unanimous opinion of all present that the Republicans of the ward should present an unbroken front, and many expressed their purpose to work to that end. The question of registration came up for dis cussion, and it was Conceded that a spe cial effort should be made to get voters to register. The club decided to make a special effort In that direction. To this end a committee composed of Messrs. Otis, Neldermarck and Whidden was ap pointed, who were Instructed to use every possible effort t8 Induce men in the ward to take the time to go to the County Clerk's offlofe and register. After a while there Will be a great rUsh, and a voter may have te stand iii Una for hours. It may be stated In this connection that the report that this is a factional club Is a mistake. There are excellent citizens and good Republicans on the roll, and they state they have no other purpose than to promote the Welfare of the ward arid the Republican party. They will work In ac cord with the U. S. Grant Republican ClUb. the old Organization, and will do all In their power to promote harmony and good feeling, and do away entirely With all the misunderstandings of the past that have served to split up the party in the Eighth Ward. Xhrrovrly Escaped Death. Dr. Walters, who has apartments in the Cully building, on East Oak street and Union avenue, narrowly escaped being killed in his room the other day by the accidental discharge of a rifle In the hands of a boy in the next room. The doctor was standing near the stove in an up right position, when he heard the report of a gun and the whizzing of a bullet as it passed within three inches of his head. It split in pieces after It entered the room, and passed his head, one piece passing through the opposite wall and burying itself In the ceiling in the adjoin ing apartment, and the other fragment dropped to the floor. A fine picture of the father of Dr. Walters was Just missed by the two fragments of the bullet It was an explosive bullet, similar to those used in killing lions and elephants, and, Judging from the hole it made In the par tition through which It passed, he thinks It might have taken his head off. The bullet exploded with a second report. Dr. Walters was almost stunned at first, and for some time was unable to ascer tain where the shot cable from, but when he saw a big hole through a chart In the wall, he knew it came from the next room. He ascertained that a little son Of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, who had adjoining apartments, had been playing with an express rlrie, and that while doing flO it was accidentally discharged. The boy was greatly alarmed, &s were the parents, until they ascertained that no One had been killed. The damage amounted to about & Received a Bimetallic Cake. Thursday was the birthday Of ReV. Rob ert McLe&n, paster of the Third Preeby terlan Church, East Ninth street, but he hardiy gave the matter a thought, and went to the rfifedlar prayer service in the evening, where ne was greeted by a larg er attendance than usual. After the con clusion of the regular services Dr. Mc Lean was invited into the parlors ef the church, where, to his amazement, he Was Introduced to an Immense cake that re posed 611 a table, and Was invited te carve the eake. Dr. McLean thought It was a strange cohfcluslen to a prayer meeting, but, seizing the machete Offered hlffl, pro ceeded to segregate the cake. The knife edhie into dbntact with fedmethlrig hard, but, having got started, h& determined to proceed to the end. He Unearthed two $20 gold pieces, a gold eagle and $5 in sil ver, all of which had been cunnlrigly con cealed in the cake. The total sum found was $55, $3 more than his age. Rev. Will iam Travis stepped forward and made a short but touching address, In the course of which Dr. McLean was made to feel that he was surrounded by a loyal mem bership. He responded appropriately to the address. Dr. McLean is an unflinch ing gold-standard man, but will accept every bimetallic cake that comes along. On East Morrison Street. The elevated roadway on East Morri son street is torn up from East Water street te Union avenue. The rotten planks are belhg taken up and piled on the lower ground, where they are burned to get then out of the way. Hardly any soun.d lumber Is found, and the planks fall to pieeca with their own weight. Piles are being driven, five to the row, from East Second to a point a short distance east of East Third street, and these are being driven as firmly and solidly as If a trestle were building for a railway. There will never be any further trouble about the settling of the roadway, as there has been In the past. Engineer Chase Is de termined that a first-class job shall be done on East Morrison street. He states that If the piles had been driven to a solid fouhdatlon in the first place, they would have lasted a good many years longer. While the repairs on the road way Is making, passengers on all the street-cars are transferred going in both directions. This Inconvenience is cheer fully submitted to, in view of the pros pects of a speedy completion of the re pairs and the opening of the roadway. Improvement . Gathering-. This evening an effort will be mado to form an Improvement Association at Foss' Hall, on Grand and Hawthorne ave nues. A meeting of tho citizens of the Eighth Ward has been called to come to gether at S o'clock ta confer about the sltup'Jon In that portion of the City. There are several important matters to considfr. but mainly concerning the mat ter of streets. Committees will be ap points n ,!pe what can be done with Grand avenue south from East Clay street which Is in a deplorable condition. The property-owners have Improved and repaired that street several times, and yet It is now in a worse condition than over before. This and other matters are need In? attention.

If you saw before you a strong1 and safe bridge leading to your goal, would you ignore it to try ome insecure and tottering structure ? The" answers to these questions &t e plain. You would, of course, choose without hesitation what all evidence showed to be the safe thing, and you would risk nothing in useless experiments.
