The year 1901. iirstborn of the new
century, is made memorable by the deaths
| Of two of the best loved rulers the world
has ever known. In its first month Vic
| toria. Englani's good queen, breathed her
last quietly and peacefully at one of her
| royal abodes. The forcible taking of of
President William Mckinley by the bnl-
let of the misguided anarchist youth.
Czolgosz. in September. is in harsh con
trast with her serene passing. and is a
sad commentary upon the llxity of our
democracy. which favors the intimate
contact of the chief executive with the
general public AMI fails TO provide adc-
quate means for his physical protection.
Many others of the great ones Of earth
statesmen, authors, churchmen, musi-
clans and business men-have also heard
| the last summons and responded thereto.
The Boer-Brirish war in South Africa
has continued through the year, rather
TO the advantage of the latter, and the
armed resistance of the Filipinos against
the rule of the United States has been
fitfully in evidence.

way accidents, in which many lives have
been destroyed. The number of destruc-
tive fires has also been quite large.
