Victor Hugo's coffin in the Pantheon

day Of the funeral, nearly ten years
ago. Nothing has been done toward

one Of the amusing incidents of the

be instructed in the preparation Of his
ballot. and made three trials before

statement that during the /

3ayard had the misfortune to be SO
leaf that he hardly ever hears any
'tories at ALL except such as are shout
a into his ear at the top OF the mar
'ators voice, 1t Is fact that may
'learly account for a good deal.

There is guess work as to what Jap
an means that is interesting. The
Chinese show such a capacity for de-
feat and submission that 1t is assumed
that they may accept a Japanese dyn-
asty without much rioting. They are
already wonderfully abject. Suppose
the Japs take Pekin and run the em-
pire, import modern ideas, discipline,
railroads, telegraphs, telephones, mag
azine rifles; suppose China should have
an army four times the size Of that Of
Germany-equal to all the armies Of
Europe-what then?

The calm and sensible suggestions
Of Mr.. A. B. Hammond's interview on
the situation and prospects Of Asto-
ria, to be found in another column,
will attract the respectful attention OF
all who are acquainted with the busi-
ness reputation and standing Of that
gentleman.
It is to be feared some OF our people
place too much dependence on the mere
requirement Of railroad connections,
and, as Mr.. Hammond properly thinks,
the successful termination of the labors
Of our committee in the railroad matter
IL but the first step in the great work
Of development which must be
brought about largely through local en-
ergy and effort.
II we imagine, as he says, that after
we have secured the desired railway
outlet we can lie down and leave our
fortune to be worked out for us by
the people we hope to attract here by
that means alone, we are very much
in error. There are too many rival
and conflicting interests all around us
to admit Of any substantial progress
except through the medium of our own
tireless and vigllant efforts.
Our harbor advantages, even with
our railroad, will not be worth much
to the general community unless We Of
fer inducements for the location of per-
manent business enterprises of various
kinds amongst us. The essential work
of acquaintlng the world with the re,
sources and advantages of our town
and country depends solely on the ac-
tivity % our own people.
To again quote Mr. Hammond, neither
Tacoma or Seattle, San Francisco nor
Portland is going to do our advertising
for us. We alone must do this, and
largely through the support and en-.
couragement OF our home newspapers.

DEATH OF E. B. MONROE.


 Sunday morning the community was greatly shocked by the news that E. B. Monroe was dead. At first it was not be- lieved, but the tidings were soon confirm ed. Saturday afternoon, MT and Mrs Monroe were driving and returned home about 6 o'clock. MT Monroe had just stepped into the hall when he called his wife, and immediately fell to the floor, and by the time Mrs Monroe reached him he was dead. The cause of death was heart disease. MT Monroe was 59 years old and was widely known. He formerly resided here but about one year ago removed to Tarrytowp, N. Y., where he purchased the Fremont place. The Pequot library and grounds i'll this will age are a gift of Mir Monroe and they will be lasting monument to his mem- ory. He spared no expense to make the buildings complete in every way. He al- so gave several buildings to Yale college, and was interested in many banking and other interests in New York. MT Mon roe was deeply interested in the Indians, and President Harrison appointed him one of the commissioners of the Hamp- ton Indian school. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon from the Con- gregational church at Southport. | lHe seleCCLheh nave ueCIueu to cHdi Se $5 for the use of the Town tall for dances, etc. The proceeds are to be us ed for keeping the hall in repair.
