The history OF the ferry service between Man
haitian and Staten Island makes interesting
reading. In 1865 the Dutch traders in their
early visits were obliged to get the Indians TO
ferry them to and fro in their canoes made OF
logs followed out OF large trees, the work being
done by heated stones. AS early as 1855 there
was ferry between the two islands. 1t was
controlled by the Dutch settlers The first
printed notice is found in 1.-THE New-York Post
Boy" of November 10 1775. and 1t tells story
as follows:

SCHOOLS ON NAVAL RESERVATIONS.

Washington. May 20.-With view to arousing
national interest IN an effort TO induce Congress
to provide for the establishment of public schools
on naval reservations, the Public Education As
ISOLATION of Washington tonight held meeting
at which plans were perfected for carrying on
the work. Already such schools are in opera
ton on military reservations, but none so far
have been placed in navy yards. In his last
annual message to Congress President Roosevelt
urged the necessity for providing schools Of that
character, and ii was in furtherance Of that
recommendation that the association met to-

ADDRESS ON ZIONIsM.

Feature of Talk by Miss Ben O'Liel at
 Y. N. C. 4.
 Prophecy fulfilling was the theme of a strong address by Miss Florence Ben O'Liel at the FOy auditorium yesterday afternoon in which the most notable feature was the speakers reference to Zionism Herself a JeWess and former resident of the Holy City, she spoke of facts as she knewtheIT. to be in her na- tive land.
 The great increase in the population of Palestine, due to immigration of Jews, the speaker used as q sure indi- cation of the coming awakening. In seven years the population has increas- ed from S2,OOO in all Palestine to 43,OOO in Jerusalem alone. There are now 100000 in the nation.
 This movement, declared the speaker, will be infinitely greater than the recent Welsh revival, for when the scattered sons of Israel return all the world will pause in wonder and in reverence re- peat the prophecy dear to every Jewish heart, AS Jehovah liveth, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land"
 i In speaking of the barrenness of the modern Jerusalem and the desolatiOn of all that in past ages was the pride of the world Miss Ben O'Liet referred to this prophecy:
 If ye hearken not unto me I will bring the land into desolation." So true were these words that people to- day, seeing the barrenness of the land, wonder if it ever was the most prosper ous land of the earth. Yet the old ter races and wine presses show something of the ancient productiveness.

Young Man Who Was Accidentally
 Shot in Centerville.
 Harry Sperry, seventeen years old, who resides with his mother in Ham den and who was accidentally shCt while hunting with a companion in West Woods, Centerville, Saturday, Is resting comfortably at the New Haven hospital.
 Sperry and his companion had been hunting for some time and at the time of the accident were walking through some woods, with Sperry in the lead. Suddenly the elder young man caught his foot and fell, and as he did so the gun, filled with small shot, was dis charged and young Spc"ry received most of the charge in his right shoulder and cheek.
 Sperry fell to the ground with groan and as soon as his companion could arise he ran to help the boy. It was seen that Sperry was badly injured, but as there was no one nearer than C. w, Blakeslee's farmhouse Sperry pluckily said he would try to walk there, helped by his companion.
 When the farmhouse was reached Sperry was very weak from loss of blood and a team was at once hitched and he was conveyed to Dr. Lays of- flee. After the flow of blood had been stopped he was taken to the New Ha- ven hospital.
 At the hospital last night it was stated that the right cheek had been torn off by the shot and that the face would be disfgured fer life. Tn addl- tion to this there is a very bad wound on the right shoulder.
