was drowned"
Mr. Hickey said to an EVENING jour-

that there was nothing found on the
drowned man by which his identity could
be established. but the description
they gave of him made us more
anxious than ever. as it answered
to the personal appearance of my

been given decent burial at Cambridge
Bishop Curtis, who is in that neighbor-

the matter, and his report is awaited
with the gravest apprehension. The only
reason can assign for his presence in
Cambridge is that probably he took a
trip up there on one of the lumber

James Monteith.

James MOnteith, whose name nearly
every school boy and girl in the country
is familiar with, because Of its being on
the cover of the Biographies, died at his
home on Washington Heights last Thurs
day morning. He was 90 years old. Mr..
Monteith was born in the north of Ire
lrnd- He came to this city when a mere
boy and was educated in its public
schools. He became a teacher in Dis
trict School No. Is Of this city, and pass
ed Though the various grades until he
beeane principal. Many Of the business
and professional men of this city now
have the kindest recolleetions of him in
that capacity, and he formed among his
scholars many Of the warnest friend
ships of his life.
From his earliest years Mr. Monteith
was most conscientious student Of geo.
graphical works. While teaching school
he associated himself with Professor Nc
Nally, the then famous geo9rapher.
When Professor McNally died, Monteith
gave Up school te lching and worked ex-
elusively as q writer of geographical
works. A. :. Barnes < Co, now merged
into the American Book Company so far
as their publishing business is concerned,
have always published his works. These
have been used in nearly every city and
town in the Union. His works comprise
about everything in the geographical
line He fully covered the primary, in
termediate and advanced fields Of phys
ical and political geography, and prepar-
ed school maps to support his works.
His Biblical maps are especially noted.
Healso wrote Easy Lessons in Popular
Science" a Popular Science Reader"
and ~Y outh's History of the United
States"
Mr.. Monteith's works have been very
profitable to him, but large portion of
the fortune he leaves is the result of his
early conviction that New York City was
bound TO grow. Thirty years ago, when
money was scarce with him, he saved
enough TO purchase a great deal of land
on Washington Heights 1t cost very
little then. For three years he was land
poor on account Of his taxes, bat he held
on to his property, and to-day it is worth
more than $4,000. Mr.. Monteith was
married the second time about two years
ago. His wife survives him. He has
daughter married and living in the West,
and son who is studying law.-X. Y.
