invaluable historical material has been
unearthed which was not known TO DO In

One of the direct benefits Of such an
enterprise as the loan exhibition will be
exemplifed by the full set of etchinRs,
engravings, photographs, etc, from
which the illustrations for the superb
History of the Centennial Celebration Of
Washington's Inauguration" published
by the Appletons, have been reproduced.
These pictures many of them from origi-
nails wholly inaccessible to the public,
were loaned by Clarence Winthrop Bow
EN-, the editor of the work.. When Mrs.
Mason conferred with him on the subject
In Washington, he was about packing
them of to the Worcester, Mass, His
torical Society as a gift; but word has
since been received from him that he will
not only lend them to the exhibition, but
will, instead of sending them to Worces-
ter, give them to the Providence. Histori-

cases, from dresses still In existence, and

Souvenirs of the occasion In the shape
of painted china and small silken ban

otto women who have conducted the plan
to success, may we'll be proud.

EARLY GOVERNORS.

The first territorial governor of Wash
ington when it was part of Oregon and Cal
ifornia, is still living. He was afterward
elected governor of his native state, New
Jersey-Rodman M. Price. He was a
prominent actor in the stirring times
which led to the war with Mexico fifty
years ago. AS the first territorial governor
of California, he landed at Monterey on a
United States frigate, and on July 7, 1916,
raised the flag of the nation there, and also
issued a proclamation asserting this coun-
try2s jurisdiction over that magnificent en-
pire from the present Mexican border to
the Straits of Fuca, extending east of
the Rockies In those days there was no
telegraph and no communication with
the outside world. In meeting the various
exigencies that confronted him in the dis
charge Of his mission, it is understood that
he was forced to disburse moneys and fur
nish supplies amounting to 100000. This
sum the government, at last advices had
not made good to him. If the governor
could collect these just dues he would have
nothing to trouble him. Washington has
had two territorial governors who were
governors of New Jersey. Dir. Newell, OF
this city, was elected governor of New Jer-
sey when quite a young man. In fact, he
was the youngest executive ever elected in
that commonwealth.

what is contemplated, and the guard can
make their arrangements. No plan has yet
been submitted, but it is intimated that
one will be in a few months previous to the

Guard of the state going to take part?

The crew of the Capro spent three days on
the island and the captain had to put sew
eral men in irons before he could get them
to recognize the necessity Of going back to
the ship. The yarn says the girls sobbed
and lamented. If there were any truth in
the story, it is not too much to say that the
harbor Of that island, would be pretty well
dotted with ships all the year round, as it
IS said in addition to the lonesome women
there were lofty trees, many of which ex-
.ceeded two hundred feet in height and
thirty in girth; green and shady woodland
groves, lemons, guavas, pineapples and
bananas, which grow in greatest abundance
and other delightfnl features.

ANDREW johns, a coIored divine of Ale
gheny City, Pa, is prophesying on a rather
extensive scale. Brother Johns says that
he has definite information that Boston is
to be destroyed by an earthquake in about
two weeks; that soon thereafter Chicago
will be consumed by fire from heaven, and
as a final catastrophe, New York City will
sink out Of sight, leaving a big hole in the
ground. Wonder if Andrew is any relation
to those fellows who were over in South
Union, predicting an eruption?

WONDERFUL!


One by one the biblical stories are being
verified. Some people profess to believe
that it never rained for forty days and forty
nights, but there are those who live in Ore
gon who have. seen it ram for sixty days
and nights. Now comes a story from tsThe
Great Yarmouth Mercury" of England, of
seaman named James BARLEY, having
been swallowed by a whale, which is at
least on parallel with Jonah's excursion
into the inside Of the great mammal. The
English whale, however, did not throw up
its Jonah. The Mercury says Bartley's
body made it SO heavy that it was easily
captured, hewn open with axes, and, much
to the amazenent of the hewers, the un-
conscious sailor was cut out, none the
worse for his temporary whaleback envi-
ronmept, though his skin was bleached by
the partial digestion he had undergone.
He could breathe easily" SO the story
goes, Hbut the heat was terrible. 1t was not
of a scorching, sitting nature, but it
seemed to open the pores of his skin and to
draw out his vitality. He became very
weak, and grew sick at the stomach And
then he tainted. BARLEY ought to get down
to London as quick as possible and hire out
as dime museum freak. There's money
in it-for him.
