The difference between thls DaugIh-
tiers of THE Revolution and Colonial
DANES is question which often puz-
zles the public, and sometimes, it is
said, even the members Of the societies
themselves. The N. Y. Herald says IL ha!s
been properly coached as to the ex-
tremely delicate and intricate construc-
tive principles involved in THE consti-
futon of the societies, and gives the
following distinction:
A Daughter OF the Revolution is one
who has an ancestor who was attached
TO the army of alhe revolution. He MAY
have carried a musket or a sword or
only a drum, hut so long ais he was
mustered into THE service any OF his
female descendants has right TO ap-
plv, with satisfactory proofs, uo be
come a member of tine society.
Colonial Dame is a higher and
mightler parsonage. SHE must be tine
descendant of revolutionary army Of
flcer, or of one who held important
civic position under THE colonial gov
ernmenf. She Is cn,y eligible to her
high sphere upon the Invitation OF the
committee of the Colonial DANES. She
must then be proposed and seconded
and duly balloted upon.

BLUMBERG WAS THE MAN

WHITE MAN MURDERS HIS NE
GRESS LOVE AND is CAPTURED
HERE.
Henry Blumberg, a white man of 26
years, who shot and killed Emma
Deery, colored, aged 19 years, during a
Jealous quarrel in Philadelphia last
night. was arrested in this city at 1.55
yesterday morning as he jumped
from a freight train at the Philadel,
phia, Wilmington & Baltimore Rail-
road station The tragedy occurred at
Nc. 716 Adams street. in Philadelphia,
and the woman died in hospital.
The pair were lovers and after shoot
ing the woman in the lungs and abdo-
men, the man made his escape Cap
tain of Detectives Miller notified Cap
tain of Police Chambers, by telephone,
at 1910 o'clock last night of the affair
and gave a description of the murderer.
All of the officers were notified to look
out for Blumberg. Shortly before 2
O'Clock this morning Patrolmen Shields
and MalOney met a p, w. & b. r. r.
freight train from Philadelphia, when
Il reached Poplar street and thinking
their man might be on board of it,
they went on either side Of the train
and watched. When the train came to
stop, a white man and a negro jump
ed therefrom and ran toward the Pusey
& Jones COmpanys works. The offie-
ers gave chase and caught the pair.
Both men were bareheaded and were
partially intoxicated.
The men were lodged in the police
station, and the description of the
white man tailed with that OF
Blumberg. The latter confessed to living
in Philadelphia, and gave the name OF
Henry Martin. A card found upon him
bore the name Of S. J. Blumberg, and
this person is evidently a relative. The
authorities in Philadelphia were noti-
fed of the arrest. The negro gives ths
name of Thomas Moore and is evident
ly a tramp. 1t is not believed chat he
has an connection with the crime.
Blumberg was arraigned yesterday
before Judge Ball and agreed to &c
back to Philadelphia without requisi
tion papers. Detective Tate and Spe
cial Officer Duffy took him hack to the

EARLY FRENCH EXPLORERS.
The Work of Cartier, Champlnfn an
Others in the Great Lakes.

The Work of Cartier, Champlnin ana
Others in the Great Lakes.
Jacques Cartier, who shipped from
st. Malo in 1894, explored the coast of
Newfoundland and made the circuit
of the Gulf of ST. Lawrence; Ond he
did much else, too, for New France, in
opening up negotiations with the many
tribes of Indians who thronged thou
sands strong, and friendly, from all the
regions in and about Quebec and Mon
treal and Ottawa aud Kingston. An
other mariner of st. Malo-Francis
Greve-began the colonization of the
land. About 1870, In France, Samuel
de Champlain was born; and when he
reached the age of early manhood, he,
too, Joined In the new-world explora-
ton in the region above the great lakes.
The kings of France were much inter
ested in the new land, and did oil in
their power not only to explore the re-
gion, but to colonize and develop it,
Champlain, IN 1915, made an expedition
up the Ottawa river, and penetrated as
far as into Georgian bay, thus touching
the waters OF Lake Huron.
In 1913 Etienne Drule, ON old inter
prefer, came into Champlain's camp
with the news of the discovery Of Lake
Superior. Lake Erie, with Ontario, was
probably discovered some time earlier
than this. Nicollet, in 1894, started in
o canoe from the head of Georgian
bay, slSirted the eastern and northern
shores of Huron, and at last found him
self at Sault Ste. Marie, or the Falls
of St. Mary, now shortened to 500
the first white man, it is believed, to
reach this key to the noble lake be-
yond. He went as far as Green bay on
Lake Michigan; and so the various
lakes at last came into the actualknowl-
edge of the explorers, and were no
longer myths.
But as these French explorers con-
tinued 70 develop new and hitherto un-
tlreamed-of possibilities of empires, the
English began TO take deep interest in
the region-an interest little less
marked than that they were taking In
their schemes of colonization in Vir-
ginia and Massachusetts,. Again and
again through the years that follow
the threads cross and recross, not
weaving q beautiful garment of har
mony, but tangling in wretched snarl
patchwork of disputes between tho
nations.
