a LESSON IN HISTORY.

The execution of the constitution of
the United States was due to James
Madison, to whom was given the title
of Father of the Constitution"
Connecticut had in circulation n pri-
vate or unauthorized coinage, issued by
John Higley, of Cranky, in 173T. This
coinage was made of copper, mined in
the town, and known as the CRANKY or
Higley Tokens.
The name point Comfort, Va" was
given to the locality in 1907 by the first
colonists on their voyage of exploration
up the James river, "Poypt Comfort on
accounte of the goode channel and safe
anchorage is offered"
Massachusetts, on May &c, 1862, es-
tablished the first mint at Boston, of
which John Hull was mint master, at
which were issued coins of the value of
pence pieces" and ''every shilling
weighing the three-penny troj weight
and lesser peeces proportionably."
In 1864, in time of peace, four Eng
lish ships appeared in the harbor of
New Amsterdam and demanded its sur
render. Stout old Peter Stuyvesant, the
lame governor who had ruled in the
Dutch colonies for many years, resolved
to fight. But the city was weak and
without Notifications, and the people,
seeing the uselessness Of contending
against the ships, persuaded Stuyvesant
to surrender. The name New Amster-
dam was Immediately changed to New
York, the whole province having been
| granted to the duke of York. At the
| time of the surrender New York city
| had but 1900 people, most of them
speaking the Dutch language.

STORE BURNED.
w. w. PhaIen's Store Quilted
This Afternoon.
The Building is Total Loss, but the
Stock is Saved From Des.
truCiiOn.

At shortly after three o'clock this
afternoon, Mrs w. w. Phalen went
up stairs from her husbands grocery
store on South Front streetJto her
apartments above, and on opening the
kitchen door found the room in a
blaze. The fire seemed to be mainly
located about the chimney, and may
have started from defective tiue.
Mrs, Phalen at once gave the alarm,
and all in the peighborhood assisted in
removing the household goods from the
second story and the grocery
stock from the first floor. A fire alarm
was turned in, and the department was
quickly on the ground An inch
stream Of water was turned on,
but the pressure was light,
and the fire continued to
gain Roadway until the entire roof and
second story were ablaZe. Two large
streams were then turned on,
and better pressure was secured
AT 400 p. N. flames were still playing
about the roof, but the fire was
under control. The firemen were
loaded with ice and suffered consider
ably from the biting cold.
1t is probably total loss. Mr. Soule
carried small insurance on it, but he
could not remember. when seen by 8
Free Press reporter, whether it was S30t
or $500 He estimates the loss at SOC
to $500.
Mr.. Phalen carried 81, 400 insurance
on his stock, and estimates his loss from
fire and water and goods damaged in
moving at $500 to 5000. The greater
part of the stock as we'll as of the house
hold goods were saved.
The building was two-story frame

between Front and Second streets. just
south of berry street. the middle of
the forenoon. The poles of the Citizens
company are larger than those of the
Blue Earth Valley company, and the
wileS of the former. are strung above
those of the latter. In order to
cross the Blue Earth Valley wires,
a rope is thrown over them, tied to the
end of the wire that is to be
dragged across, and then the Citizens
wire is pulled across and made ready to
DE raised to the cross arms.
This forenoon, the rope that was
thrown across theBlueEarth company's
wires caught unGer the cross arms and
would not work The Blue Earth com
pany's poles have no iron steps. and Mr.

spurs, to get the rope from under the
cross arms While was doing this
work, he slipped in some
manner and lost his balance

or even death WAS q miraculous one
Nr. Blethen was about thirty feet from
the ground when he fr.l, and the barn
broke bis fall He had his large pliers
in his belt and he believes that these
were the means CT causing his ribs to be
fractured. He does not know exactly
what caused him TO fall, but it is sur
missed that in changing position he
struck spur into d knot and that it
slipped instead of penetrating.
Mr. Blethen has had one or two falls
from poles before, but meyer sustained
any injury to speak of a year ago

SPAIN'S SHIPS DIVIDE
IN TWO FLEETS

London, April 29.-The Evening News this
afternoon publishes a dispatch from st.
Vincent, Cape de Verde Islands, saying
the Spanish cruisers Marie Teresa, Amir
ante Oquendo, Vizcaya and Cristobal Co
lon, accompanied by the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers Plunton, Terror ard I'll
ror, had, at the hour the dispatch was filed
% o'clock this morning. just sailed in a
westerly direction, presumably going to
Cuba.
The dispatch adds that the Spanish tor
pedo boats Azor, Rayo, and Ariete, and the
Spanish transports San Francisco and Gu
dad De Cadiz sailed at the same time in a
northerly direction, probably going to the
Canary Islands.
Commenting on its dispatch from st. VIM
cent the Evening News says:
1.-THE import of the cablegram is that the
whole effective fighting force of the squad
ron has been dispatched west, while the
non-effectives and the non-combatants are
proceeding to another anchorage
"Well informed naval authorities are
aware that the torpedo boats could not
travel the Atlantic at the present time, as
they have not sufficient coal capacity to go
to Cuba, and the risk of coaling in mid
ocean is too great"
This long delayed move is most signifi-
can't It's Significance is in the fact, which
can hardly be emphasized, that it is prac-
tically SPANS first real move since the
outbreak of hostilities.
