A Chronological Table.
The year 1897 has been, 1t might be said
almost commonplace one. since Its com.
mencemcnt, that Is, no events OF over
whelming moment have taken place. but
there has been no dcarth Of important
occurrences. The war between Turkey
and Greece, the struggle for freedom In
Cuba. the costly and long.drawn-out
strike Ia the Ohio and Pennsylvania coal
fields. the change Of national admnistrn.
tion, the enactment Of the Dinglcy tariH
law. fhe disastrous spring floods In the
Mississippi valley and autumn fires In the
West and Northwest. and the epidemic OF
yellow fever In the Southern states are
clearly not matters OF small Importance
in the history of the world. The year mas
been an unusual one from the fact that
but few men of really great reputation
have passed from the stage of their earth.
ly labors: their number can bc computed
upon the fingers OF the two hands.
The most important events of the year
are recorded below iu the order OF their
