we may only guess, but the earnest
prayer of the ardent Poutrincourt to
have his grant of Port Royal cofirmed by
Henry the Fourth was favorably answer
ed. Two years passed before the Gov
ernor returned to his own Port Royal
and yet seed time and harvest had been
faithfully observed. His agent, the
good Chief Memberton, who joyfully
welcomed the returning Colony, had
cared for all the Governors interests.
Surely there was a fitness in the def
erence shown by the French leaders to
the chiefs of the older occupants of the
land There is picture which impress
es the reader of history, of morning
when MembertOn sent a great fiOtilla
against Saco warriors and the French
looked on with deep thought. Mission
aries provided for the Indians were
brought from France by the brave Bien-
court, son of Poutrincourt, who made
the voyage as commander when only
nineteen years of age. He was also left
in charge of the Colony the year, 1911,
while his father sailed for France.
This was made imperative as his personal
friend, Henry the Fourth, lad died.
The next return of Poutrincourt to
his much loved Port Royal was sad

desOlation and ruin. He returned to
his own country and died year later
in battle in his kings service. A force
from jamestown, Virginia, under Cap.
tain Argall, had completely destroyed
the work of years. As later the Aca-
dian people wandered back to their
homeland, so Biencourt with a small
Frenzy colony, was known to have been
at Port Royal as late as 1917. The his
torian, with careful elaboration, gives

A Fatal Accident.

Chas HaZletine was caught in the
gearing OF a mill where he was en-
gagged in the capacity of machinist in
the city Of Spokane last week and re-
ceived injuries from which he died last
Sunday in the hospital. He was
passing some rapidly moving cog
wheels IN poorly lighted room when
his clothing caught and drew his arm
into the gearing crushing it badly.
The injured arm was ampu'ated but
the shock caused death.
The father and mother of this worthy
young man are residents of Lewiston.
The remains were brought here for i'll
terment by Mondays train. The fun
eral took place Tuesday. The
family has the sympathy of a wide CIR
Gle of friends.

Another Quartz Discovery.

The report of another great quartz
strike comes from the interior of the
Clearwater basin. This time the find
consists Of "a 80 foot ledge and the loca-
ton is on the south side of Salmon
river on tn Warrens trail beyond
Florence. But little can be learned of
the particulars of the strike more than
the tact that stampede from Florence
followed the report of the find.
The location is in the mineral belt
The distance is only about 20 miles
from Florence and on a line between
that camp and Warrens. This new
camp will he tributary to Lewiston.
The Salmon river canyon will eventu-
ally be a thoroughiare for all this great
mineral district included Dixie, Flor
ence, Buffalo Hump and this new
strike near Suowshoe divide.

A Lewiston Millionaire.

j. NJ. Edwards of this city is mil
honiare. His greatgra ndiather, over a
hundred years ago, leased land for 81
wears for business purposes in the heart
now appraised at $500 900 600 The
lease expired several years ago aud the
legal fight has been progressing since
that date. The proof Of descent has
been difficult bat the last link has been
supplied and the ownership estab-
lished. The fortune is now ready for
distribution, bat the difficulty u trac-
ing the heirs who number perhaps 200
is difficult ask. This must he done
to proportion the distribution.
The present heldpr, of this vast crop
rty which extends from river to liver
IN the line of Canal street and extends
south to The Battery and includes
Broadway, Wsli street and the gov
trrumett buildings, brought suit
against the Edwards heirs IN 1896 to
compel them f. accent 1905 600 600 and
tsa quiet title ,Or that consideration.
William Edwards, who has spent a
private fortune and twelve years labor
made this compromise in 1896, but

accept it, claiming the value to ten
times THAT srn. The suit recently de
cided i'm New York holds VIM Ed

Favorit@ Subject for Photography

Perhaps no celestial body has been
photographed SO many times as the
moon. At Lick Observatory the man
in the moon" sits for his picture many
times during the year. Jupiter and
Saturn are also frequent subjects, and
no day passes in which some sun.spot
does not leave it's celestial autograph
on the sensitive plate. Many astro-
nomical discoveries have been made
through photography, the greatest OF
them being the discovery, by Professor
Draper, Of oxygen in the sun. The
applications OF photography are so
many and so varied that whole vol
ume of the ST. Nicholas would be re-
quired to describe them; for there is
no department of knowledge in which
it has been so extensively used. and
none TO which it has been so universal
ly helpful.

HISTORY OF PLAGUE.-The first
historical mention Of plague is OF
an outbreak in Lydia, in the third
century before Christ. Again we
read OF Oubonic plague in the great
plague Of Justini IN in 54a AID. In
the fourteenth century the "black
death" appeared in southern Italy,
I346-47, and spread over Europe,
reaching England in I348, where
it appears to have remained tor
FIVE or six years. A second cpl
demic occurred in 1901, and
third in 1903. In the fifteenth, six
teenIh, and seventeenth centuries
outbreaks in Great Britain are re-
corded. The great plague Of Lon
don in 1905, in which seventy
thousand persons died, was the last
English epidemic OF plague.
Plague occurred frequently in
European countries up to I84I.
In Russia it is epidemic, sometimes
Of a mild type, but more often vir-
ulent, In India plague has prob
ably existed since 1915, from time
to time in sporadic form and
under various names in various
parts Of the country, with no re-
liable information as to the mode
Of origin. In the autumn of 1896
a severe outbreak occurred in
Bombay, which was preceded by
an epidemic among rats Of a fatal
but hitherto unknown disease.
