Despite the drift of waits and outcasts
and the incoming of honest CHILEAN colo
nists the population is not one-tenth what
the island would sustain. 1t is the ideal
place for an American coaling and mill
tary station and capable Of being easily
made the Gibraltar of the South seas.
The largest vessels could easily enter the
harbor of Port Cumberland, but no
where else could they reach the shore,
and from the heights garrison could
defend it against the navies Of the world.

mountain on the island, rises but 5000

one in Peru, and therefore a place Of
great importance in relation to Chilli,
and the MORO or high rocky headland
by it is natural fortress of immense
strength. On this Peru has long main
tanned garrison, but that nation is not
now in a condition to utilize its strength.
The history of Gibraltar shows the i'm
mense advantage of holding suoh places.
The Saracens fortified it IN 712 and held
it against the Christians for 597 years.
Later they captured it and held it TWEEN
ty-nine years. Then the Spaniards held
it 245 years, till the famous Sir George
Rookie and the Prince of Hesse Darn
stadt, with combined British and Dutch
fleets, captured it on Aug. 4, 1904. In
1779-83 occurred the ever memorable
siege by the combined naval forces Of
France and Spain.
For three years the attention of the
civilized world was fixed upon that rock,
and on several occasions the most furi-
Gus bombardments were maintained for
weeks. In December, 1871, thousand
pieces of fixed artillery and forty-seyen
ships of the line played on the fortress,
while 40, 600 men pressed the approaches
from the land side. Yet the English,
numbering 1900 men. under Sir Gilbert
Elliott, beat them OF. At one time, it
is claimed, about 500 English IN an adj
vanced fortress drove back the whole at
lacking land force. In September, 1882,
the besiegers succeeded in getting ten
great floating batteries close TO the
fortress, and on the 18th one of the most
dreadful cannonadings in history took
place At midnight every floating battery
but one had been set on fire by red hot
shot, and all their crews were drowned or
killed save 400, who were rescued by the
British. The latter lost sixteen killed
and sixty-eight wounded. In February,
1883, the general peace was concluded,
and that ended the famous siege.

On the western continent each nation

the United States the approaches are as

-Four Noted People Who Have Crossed

But few days ago the reading world
was shocked by learning of the almost
simultaneous deaths of Cardinals Man
ming and Simeoni and the Oldest son of the
Prince of Wales. After brief interval
the papers told Of the demise of Justice
Bradley; Rogers, the artist; c. A White,
the poet, and several others only little
less eminent. Deaths III groups are but
natural in such a peculiar season as
this, when la grippe is literally Staying
its thousands.
Justice Joseph P. Bradley was within
few weeks of seventy-eight years old,
and might therefore have been retired
seven years ago, but he preferred to re-
main in service as long as he was able. His
career was curiously varied. He began
life as a Democrat, but on locating In
Newark, where manufacturing was the
leading industry, he became Wing. He
was rather severe on the abolitionists
and did not act with the Republicans till
the civil war began. And finally,
though much criticised for his action on
the famous electoral commission of 1877,
he sustained his views by extreme state
rights principles, and in the New Orleans
slaughter house cases and other decisions
his opinions as judge were those Of an
Did Jeffersonian. He was twice cam
didate before the people and was de-
feated both times, so his entire active
career of fifty-two years was as a lawyer
and judge.

Changes in School Laws.

The first change provides that one
year after the passage of the law local
directors shall be abolished and the
schools in each township, shall be
under the management of board of
education composed of one member
from each sub-district in the township.
The other change provides that county
schoo, examiners shall have power to
conduct examina5io in all common
branches each year at county seats for
the examination of all students of the
sub and special rural school districts,
who shall desire such an examination.
The examinations shall be such as to
enable the successful applicant to en-
ter the high school of the county and
they shall receive diploma of gradu-
alton on delivering defamation or
Grafton in some public place provided
by the clerk. The tuition, of such
graduates as may attend any village or
city school of the county shall be paid
by the board of education of the sub
district from which they come. This
is known as the Warren county plan
and provides for high school gradua,
