Tngland's Historic Events.

(Harper Neehly)
So far as public celebrations go, you
could live a lifetime I'm England without
knowing she had a history. No attempt
Is made. TO keep alive the memories or
her great deeds, 10 stir up her pauiotG
emotions. Waterloo might never nave
been fought for all the notice taken OF
its anniversaries. once year the surNl-
vors Of the Crimean war dine qulehs
together. and the outside public expert
ences an annual shock at realizing tnat
there are still alive people connec'eu
with an event which has 50 completely
Dassed into history. Guy Fawkes' s-Day
has long since become a mere holiday
FOR school-boys. All the more remarka-
bic. therefore, was the recent outburst Oh
enthusiasm on Trafalgar-Day. The
events of the past year have had most
stimulating effect on the English pubic
Patriots and Jingoes and severe stalls
ticians ON the military and naval re-
sources have sprung suddenly into eN-
cessive vigor. The Union-Jack has De
gun to be introduced at public meetings.
Men have gone about talking or a spirlleu
foreign policy that would teach Germany
her place. There has seemed TO be some
thing stirring in the air that spoke VI
imperial enterprise. Even the Poet Lau-

the result Of it all was seen on Trafalgar
Dav. when Nelson Column was wreathei
with flowers and Trafalgar Square nlie1

was seen at a meeting Of the Imperial
Institute. summoned 10 listen TO lecture
by a Mr.. Draper on the geology Of south
Africa. Mr. Draper was supposed 10
have helped the Transvaal Republic IN
its defeat Of Or. Jameson's raid, and The
members Of the Imperial Institute gave
him a warm reception. Traitor, reneBaae,
cur. and liar were what they mostly
called him. Considering the social stand

ms remarkable as that famous night
