Under Many Flags.

Possibly no possession has changed
nationality so frequently as the island
Of Santa Cruz, in the Danish West In
dies. Originally the land belonged to
Spain, and it was taken from Spain to
be under the joint rule of England and
Holland. After awhile the flag of Hol-
land was taken down, and the English
flag alone fiOated, only to give way to
Spain again. The Knights of Malta
were the next pOssessors, and from
them it passed to a company Of adven-
turers, who lost it to France which
sold to a Danish company, the land
finally coming into the possession Of
the Danish government. England again
took possession in 1901, and eight years
later it passed to the Danish government
again. Eventually it will probably be-
come part of the United States, two
bargains having been arranged, but
never completed.

Names of the Injured.
DELAY SAVES NUMEROUS LIVES
Night Ride Deters Many from Board

ing the Inflated Train.
The late hour of the New Yorll's ar
rival at Plymouth saved many lives.
She carried more than sixty travellers
for London. but many of them elected
to travel on comfortably to SOuthamp-
ton in preference to the late landing
at Plymouth and the long night ride
across the country. If the New York
had made a faster passage the SOmDer
roster of the dead and injured would
have been longer. The big American
line steamer reached Plymouth at 9:23
o'clock Saturday night, and half an
hour later there was Il tender along
side to receive passengers for England.
Several who had planned to debark
and packed their baggage decided at
the last moment to remain aboard 1t
was Il fateful decision. though not die
tated by any fear.
The run across the Atlantic had been
pleasant There were CHEEKY partingS
when the passengers for London trans
ferred to the waiting tender, which
steamed for the Davenport landing,
where the express was lying made up.
The train consisted of a powerful eX-
press engine, three first-class corridor
carriages and one combination guards
van and buffet. The passengers were
soon entrained and at II: 80 the express
pulled out 1t was given clear track
on the run of go miles to London, on
which the express generally maintains
an average speed Of a mile a minute
Driver Robins quickly gave the en-
CINE her head and the special was soon
speeding swiftly through the night. 1t
ran on safely and without incident I'M
til it entered the long railway yard at
Salisbury, when the passengers noted
that the coaches began swaying from
side to side. Suddenly at the end of
the long platform, when the track be-
gins to curve towards the bridge span
ming Fisherton street, the main avenue
of the city, the engine, seemed fairly
to leap from the track.
1t swung across the adjoining track
with terrific force and destroyed the
slowly steaming in the opposite direc-
ton, killing a guard. Lurching for
ward the locomotive plunged against
the standards and Orders of the bridge
The bridge withstood the impact. and

The Cent Is Not Small.

With the exception of the English

Roughly speaking, our cent is worth 2

two and a half times larger than the
cent Of the Netherlands or the kreutzer.
There are pies, ore, or pfennige to the
