Tn May, 1917, Rolfe, who had
been appointed Secretary of Virgi-
MIA, with his wife and child, prepar-
ed to return to America. They

was detained a few days in the
Thames by contrary winds. Dur

tas was taken i'll, and after an i'll
ness of a few days, died in a stran.
gers land.
Thus ends the briefest and love-
liest romance to be found i'll all
literature. Amid the darsness of
barbarism and savagery, blOOmed
the rare and delicate nature of PO-
cahontas, a wild rose in the rocky
cleft of black precipices and gloomy
mountains. She seemed born for a
different sphere than that in which
she was placed. The brutality OF
her people was wholly absent from
her affectiOnate heart. She took
naturally to the civilization which
she so little understood. What
ever motives may have influenced
ed her in the adoption of Chris
tianity, it is on record that 'she
lived civllly and lovingly with her
husband. From the first she had
no fear of the English; going free

ships. Nearly every one Of the
colony had some favor, bestowed
in the days of her frolicsome visits
to jamestown, for which to remem-
Der her. On all occasions she was
their friend, supplying them with
provisions, cOncealing them from
her father, and aiding them to es-
cape. Her influence over her
father was increasingly exerted IN
behalf of the strangers. Modern
criticism has regarded some of the
stories told of her as rOmances,
But after disentangling the flower
from all the weeds and mosses of
legend which may have sprung up
all around it, the beautiful, aflec-
tiOnate nature, the refined manners,
the apt intelligence of the Indian
princess-all these rem ain IN their
lily like freshness and fragrance.
Her early death, though sad enough,
was perhaps fortunate, both for hel
and her history. AS to herself
had she lived, her keen intelligence
would have learned to understand
more and more fully the difference
between her people and the En-
glish, a knowledge which would
have brought pain and sorrow tC
her loving heart. And as for the
history, her early death has left us
only her portrait in the perfect
bloom of youth, youth which has
been made immortal by the pens o.

Protection for WOrkingmen
New York Tribune. ]

New York Tribune.
Just in time to clinch the argu-
ment in favor of the American
policy of Protection comes the
Official report of our consuls in
Europe as to the wages OF labor
and the cost of living there and
here. Though this will be in some
respects the most valuable dOcu-
ment ever issued by the State De
partment, its printing has been
strangely delayed; but the Tribune
has obtained through its Washing
ton Office the essential facts set
forth in the official reports, and
they will be read to-day with deep
interest. Nowhere should they be
read with greater attention than
in this city, Brooklyn and Jersey
City, where 10000 persons were
earning in 1880 wages amounting
to S3lS, 100000 yearly. According
to the latest previous comparison,
at the British rate Of wages these
people would be getting only $780,
100000 yearly, or Sl2l, 100000 less
than they now receive.
But the later oflicia, investiga-
ton makes the comparison still
more startling. Workmen in 30
occupations in New York now earn
an average of Sl1.97 weekly. The
wOrkmen in the very same 30 oc-
cupations now earn in London an
average of S6.73 weekly, so that
the New York wages are now a
per cent. higher than the London
wages. That is, the 100000 work
ers in New York, Brooklyn, and
Jersey city, who now receive $3lS,'
800, 900 yearly, at the London rate
of wages would receive only $50, 900,
600 yearly. Protection is actually
worth to them Sl3S,5OO, 900 in a
year-about Sl9l for every family
in these cities. Yet they are cX-
pected by some people to give
great majorities for the party OF
British Free Trade.
The official comparisons are not
confined to New York for this
country, but include Chicago,wh
the wages, as in most interior
cities, are higher than IN New
York; in 81 occupations theaverage
at Chicago is 1854 weekly, against
s12 at New York. Neither are
they confined to London in Eng
land, but include other points, the
average in 81 occupations in Eng
land and Wales being only SG.5j
weekly, against $G.70 in London
Nor are they confined to Great
Britain. Wages are given ioI
Germany and France, and Vienna
Rouen, and Marseiles. In 81 Oc
cupatiOns the average in Rouer
and Marseilles is only S6.3S weekly
and in Vienna only S4.22 weekly
against s6.55 in London. But il
France generally, the average IN
81 occupations is only S5.l9, and IL
Germany generally only S3.S4
against 1866 in England, and
1922 in New York in the same oc'
cupatiOns. Iu other words, th(
workers of these cities, who now
get S3lS,5OO,0OO yearly for their
work, would get only l36,OOO,oO
at the average rate in France, anC
only SiOO,OOO,OOO at the average
rate in Germany.
The reports next compare wages
in this and other countries sly
years ago and in 1874, though in
fewer branches of industry. The
gain in France and Germany ant
the far greater gain in this country
under Protection are shown al
clearly as the luss in England un-
der Free Trade. The general re-
suits compare thus:

Only dog, but he waited there
BY the picket fence in the chill night ar
He needed not the dying day,
He'd job on hand, and come to stay.
He had seen a strange pup,an hour before,
Boldly enter the parlor door
lie had seen his mistress feed him on PIE,
Aud regarded him, withal with a kindly
eye.
And the dogs heart hardened; he feared
that he
No longer petted doggy would be;
So he vowed revenge on the upstart pup,
And swore that night he would chew him
up.
Only a dude, with a stony stare,
Bhthely humming the latest air,
Her ambled along as best be might
For his shoes were long and his trousers
tight.
A sickly smile played on his face,
He sucked his cane with careless grace,
Aud remarked, as glass in eye he stuck,
"It's the sOftest snap ever struck"

Only a howl-it came from the dude,
While calmly the dog the left leg chewed
OF the upstart pup who had dared to share
With him the gifts of his mistress fair.
The poor dude tried in vain TO flee,
The dog chewed on with fiendish glce,
Till naught was left but a slender cane,
To mark the spot where the dude was
slain.

The Coming Fair.

1t is safe to say the coming fair will
be success. The officers and COM
mittees are hard at work perfecting
arrangements that will make it be-
yond comparison the best ever held in
Coos and Essex. They are interested
in the work and bound to carry out
every detail to the letter. The prizes
and purses offered amount to $1,000,
this fact alone assuring live competi-
ton, and consequently o large num-
Der of entries. Besides the unusual
amount for exhibition premiums, more
than double the sum of former years is
offered for trials of speed, base ball
games, bicycle races, foot races, and
other athletic sports which are sure to
prove novel and interesting. Every
thing will move promptly-no waiting
or hanging back. Live men have O
hold on the management and we are
sure to see three days of fair and festivi-
ty such as Coos and Essex have never
witnessed. No place like this for the
farmers, merchants, mechanics, and
their families to meet and compare the
merits of their respective exhibits.
Never before has such an opportunity
been Offered within the society limits
to witness like array of exhibits, such
feats of horses and athletes. Every
premium and purse will be paid in full

is bound to be 9 success, -rGaze'te,

How Watch Gases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duoed in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made Of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that bammering
hardens the metal while soldering soltensit.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
tobreak the crystal. The keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.
