TRISTAN p'AcvnHA.
Little Communication With the Rest
Of thS World,


The death, in his ninety fifth year. Of
Thomas Watson, the governor" Of the
small island of Tristan d'Acunha, in
~ South Atlantic ocean, directs at
tention to a little community which IN
practically severed from cOmpunica-
ton with the rest Of the world.
Tristan dAcunha was discovered by
the Portuguese In 1906, and formal pos
session was taken of this small speck
In the ocean In 1917 by company Of
British artillery, for the purpose Of
keeping a watch on Napoleon, at that
time a prisoner in st. Helena. On the
death of Napoleon the soldiers were
withdrawn. with the exception Of Cor
poral Glass and two companions, who,
with some whaling men, were the
founders OF the present settlement.
The colony fiourished and numbered
in 1928 twenty-seven souls, and in 1887
there was population of ninety-seven.
Property is held In common, and there
Is no strong drlng, and no crime. while
the inha bitants are healthy and long
lived. The Oldest inhabitant acts as
governor. A ship of war pays the is
land an annual visit, and brings the
only mail that ever reaches the inhahi-
tants. The settlement is in fertile
part Of the island, and is called New
Edinburgh. The population has been
for some years almost stationary, and
Ia kept down by migrations to the
Cape.
Watson went to Tristan dAcunha
from the Cape sixty-five years ago. and
never afterwards left the island.-Buf-
falo Commercial.

Two Large Warehouse Buildings Burned in
Chicago Today.
PANIC At MARSHAL FIELDS
Hundreds Of Employees Of the Big Coscern STAMPEDE
As Luck Would Have II the Fire Did Not
Reach the Big Store.


Chicago, Feb. Fire today did
damage to the amount of $4,000 to a
5-story building and its contents at 14S
Michigan avenue, used as a storehouse
by Gage Brothers, millinery dealers,
and the Central Union Telephone Com
pany. A fire broke out a, o'clock in
the Sanford building, So Randolph
street, occupied by George r. Watson,
dealer in paints and oils, and g.. f.
Rosche, pianos and organs. The build
ing, in few minutes, was all afire.
The fire that destroyed the Sanford
building almost caused a panic among
the tenants of the 12-story Trude build
ing which adjoins the burned struct-
ure, and among the employees of the
cloak factory of Marshall Field and
Company, who fled hurriedly to the
street. No serious accidents are re-
ported. The damage amounts to $50, ,000
