The Erie Canal.

The Erie canal has two principal ex-
cuses for existence. me is to be the sub
ject of investigation. The other is to pro-
vide for the passage of canalboats from
Albany to Buffalo. 1t is just now serving
the first-which is possibly its primary
purpose unusually well, but not the other.
The canalboats and all the interests that
are concerned with them have had a hard
summer. The old canal is in a pretty
bad way. The money that has been spent
on it has doubtless improved it in spots,
but a continuous trip through is still peril
Gus and liable to ruinous delays.-Har-

tered Brown university in the class of 50.
At this time he was a tall, gaunt coun-
tryman, in poor circumstances, who in
tended to pay his own way through col

the course he was encouraged by DR.. K.
Benjamin Andrews, at that time presi-
dent Of the university, who took a fancy
to him.
Adams abandoned college in his sophie
more year and went into newspaper work
III Providence, r. l. He then went to
Honolulu to accept a position on the Ha-
waiian Star, and incidentally to seek his
fortune.
The story of his courtship as reported
here Is soon told. OF fine physique, be-
ing six feet tall, straight and well proper
toned. with fine regular features and a
gentlemanly bearing, he attracted the adj

fell in love with him and persuaded her

invite him to make his home with them

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

The Spanish nation lost its colonies
not because they were strong. but be-
cause the home country was decaying.
In l1eo Spain was swept into tho mael-
strom of the Napoleonic wars, and tho
French treated her in succession as an
enemy, ally, dupe, dependent province
and despairing rebel When in 1907 the
KING of Spain was put under lock and
key by Napoleon. the Spanish colonies
began TO take charge of their own af-
fairs, and they never for moment nc-
knowlcdgcd French domination. In
lsl4 they returned TO nominal alle-
glance to Spain, but they had tasted the
sweets of independence; they broke loose
again, and by 1928 Spain had nothing
lott on the continent OF America except
an empty claim TO Sovereignty and tho
two castles OF Callao and San Juan do

Since that time the hold of Spain on
Cuba has always been that of a harsh

The Spanish principle has been that of
