MRS. LETTERS NARROW ESCAPE.
Passengers Tell of Incident on Oceanic
When She Came Near Going Overheard

Mrs. Levi 2. Letter and Miss Letter. mother
and sister of Lady Curzon, vicereine of India,
accompanied by two maids and bringing sixty
three pieces of baggage, returned last night on
the steamer Oceanic from their visit to the
Orient, where they went to attend the Corona
ton Durbar. They met at the pier by
Joseph Letter. All hurried TO the Waldorf, 10
dine before taking train for Washington
Mrs, Letter So d: THE trip over from England
was terrible. We had high northwest winds and
terrific seas all the way Miss Letter refused
to talk bout the reports that she was engaged.
Neither referred to incident of Tuesday,
when, according to passengers and several cabin
stewards, Mrs Letter was sitting out on deck
with several others, the steamer chairs of all
save Mrs. Letter being securely lashed to stan
chions on deck. heavy sea was rolling. An
unusually sudden lurch sent Mrs. Letters chair
sliding across the deck toward the rail, and but
fcr, timely assistance she might have gone over
board.

collection of buildings of every shape

OUR FIRST FREE SCHOOL.
1t Was Esta blished In Massac h usetts
In the Year 1041.

1t Was Esta blished In Massac h usetts
In the Year 1841.
The first free school established in
the United States was in the province
of Massachusetts Bay in the year 1641
by order of the general colonial court
In 1647 the same authority declared
that free schools should be established
within every town having fifty house
holders under penalty of a fine of f5.
This fine was doubled by declaration
made in 1871 and again doubled in
1853. Connecticut established free
schools in 1914 and levied a tax for
their support. Maryland established
free schools In 1864 and levied a tax on
negroes, pelts, furs and beef and pork
for their support. Governor Berkeley
declared in 1919 the hope that free
schools would never be established in
Virginia, but the towns of Charleston
and Elizabeth did establish them in
that year, and Elizabeth set aside 200
acres of land and eight cows, the in
crease from which was applied to sup
port the schools. Four years later the
number of cows had increased to forty.
Pennsylvania was settled by Penn ON
the Delaware river in 1851, and the
same year free school, which is still
conducted under the auspices of the
Friends, or Quakers, was established
In Philadelphia. Among the declara-
tons of Penn in his frame of govern
ment" he asserted this immortal truth,
long since forgotten by the men who
have been responsible for the govern
ment OF the commonwealth: ANY gov
eminent Is free to the people under it,
whatever be the frame, where the law
rules, and the people are party to
those laws. More than this is tyranny,
oligarchy and confusion" This SEN
tence Is inscribed in bronze tablet i'm
placed in the walls of Independence
hall.

THE CITY OF MEkINEZ.
One of the Royal Residences of the
Sultan of Morocco.

One of the Royal Residences of the
Sultan of Morocco.
There is no more interesting city in
Morocco than Mekinez. Founded and
built by Mulai Ismain, the tyrannical
sultan who reigned through the middle
of the eighteenth century, it still dis
plays the extraordinary buildings which
he caused to be erected, largely by the
aid of Christian slaves. Today it is i'm
possible even to guess the purposes for
which many of these masses of mason
ry We're constructed. Walls of great
thickness, some wide enough to drive a
carriage and pair along, are met with
In the most unexpected places, running
here parallel, here at right angles to
one another, and seeming as though
built for no purpose except for the en-
ployment of the vast number of forced
laborers that Mulai Ismain always kept
at his court. Here and there are gate
ways of great beauty, such as the deli
cate tiled gate of "Mansur el-Alj." with
