The First Lake Steam Boat,

The following interesting extracts are from
Van Cieve's unpublished history of lake navi-
cation, the property of the Buffalo Historical
Society:
In the autumn OF 1915 certain parties OBJ
tanned a grant for the privilege of navigating
Lake Ontario from the executors of Robert
Fulton and others, who held the exclusive
right to navigate the waters of the state of
New York by boats propelled by steam. 1t was
stipulated that but one boat should be en-
ployed on any one route without the consent of
the grantors
Under this grant the steam boat Ontario was
built at Sackett's Harbor in 1916. She was 40
feet long, "a feet beam and 80 feet depth OF
hold, measuring about 240 tons She had a
low pressure beam engine OF 4 feet stroke with
3i-inch cylinder. She was rugged as fore
and-aft schooner and was the first steam boat
ever launched on waters subject to heavy seas
Her first trip was made in 1917 at which time
she was commanded by Capt Francis Mallaby
OF the United States navy.
THE STEAM BOAT CAROLINE
During the patriot war in 1887 the steam
boat Caroline was running between Buffalo aud
Schlosser Landing, on the American side, q few
miles above Niagara Falls. The Caroline was
built In New York in 1924 by Cornelius Wander
bIlt who sold her to parties who took her TO
North Carolina, where she navigated Abe
marie sound. subsequently she returned to
New York. About 1884 she was taken through
the Erie canal to Lake Ontario, where she
Piled between Ogdensburg and Prescott She
finally went to Lake Erie through the Welland
canal On the night Of December 49, 1887.
while lying at Schlosser she was seized by the
English, set on fire and sent over the falls"

Z BALLOT REFORM.
How to Eradicate some of the Iniquities

This is one OF the reforms which
must come, for without II our system
OF popular government can not be
maintained. Every-election. especially
in our large cities, shows that until this
reform is secured all other reforms are
impossible of accomplishment. The
control OF the election machinery, OF
the printing and distributing Of the
ballots must be taken from the poll
ticians and put into, the hands OF the
State. Thatis, we must take the power
to control our cle8tions away from the
men who haveino responsibility and no
Interest in government save extrava-
ganoe and corruption and put it
into the hands Of officials who
are sworn TO do their duty. Ol

than Meyer Anslem, the founder OF the
great banking-house of Rothschild,
aud the man of whom Wilhelm, Land
grave OF Hesse, exclaimed in his en-
thusiasm. "Such honesty never has
been known in this worldW Not only
as Meyer Anslem poor, but he be-
longed to the then despised and per-
secuted race, the Jews. Living in this
later day, when much OF the hatred
and prejudice felt against the Jews has
given way to more just and liberal som
timents, We can hardly understand with
what extreme contempt and loathing
they were treated in young Anselm's 8
day. As q specimen OF it, however,
we read that in -the-Main,
the city whero he was born, the Jews
were so detested by the other i9habit-
ants that they were compelled to live
in certain quarter which was shut in
by gates. During the day they might
go about, but at night they must all re-
tire to their own quarter, and there the
gates were locked, so that they should
not venture out again until morning.

chance u poor little lad like this had
of becoming one OF the wealthiest and
most distinguished personages OF his
age! Yet he did it, and that too by nc
other means than behaving with the
utmost uprightness and honesty.
To add to his other misfortunes,
young Anselm found himself at the age
OF eleven an orphan. Now his pros
pect was darker than ever. for the
jews are nearly always kind to their
children, and do all that they can to
give them start in the world. In some
way or other, however, he secured
some little education, and as n young
man we find him employed in a bank.

1t is not until he is in his thirtieth
year that we find him back in Hanover,

lender, with a red shield (Rothschild)

did an excellent business, establishing
the reputation for honesty that led tc
his good fortune.
So enormous is the amount OF busi-
