Portable quarters and so into the steel
arena.
1t took Joyat at least ten minutes to
get the royal Bengal fighter out OF the
den. and then fully five minutes moro
stubborn resistance was met with in the
passage. When tho tiger was at last
got into the arena lie snapped and
snarled at every other animal In the
big combination group. Everybody held
his breath as Goldio dashed around the
4 big steel barred cage. At last tho tiger
was made to mount Its seat and take
{ It's place among the lions. bears, hyenas,
chetnhs, purnas and other animals.
Doc, the funniest bear alive, seemed
to be the especial object of Goldle's
hatred and venom. The tiger made
several PUSHES at the bear. each OF which
Doc. carefully lodged and seemed to
enjoy When 1t came Goldie's turn to
jump over a pedestal and n hurdle the
venemous nature burst forth afresh. He
chewed up one OF the tough wooden
hurdles and then started In and dcmol-
ishcd the pedestal with teeth and claws
When Joyat at last succeeded in making
the fighting tiger do his bidding the
large audience applauded the act to tho
echo.

D. Fosters Case

The Times-Dispatch notes with inter-
est that both the Danville Register and
tho Norfolk Landmark hold the same
view which 1t has expressed with re-
gard to the dismissal Of Dr.. Foster from
the superintendcncy Of the Eastern State
Hospital.
"As We stated BEFORE says the Reg
lister, CDR. Foster has not been we'll
treated in this matter. The board had
IA right not to re-elact him, If 1t chose.
but no right to dismiss him for cause
when there was not sufficient cause APP
parent for the dismissal. The public do
not censure him for maintaining his
rights before the courts. When he acted
under the order of the Circuit Court, he
was certainly not defying the jurisdic-
ton of the COURTS It Is we'll that the
matter Is finally settled, and we merely
say this much in justice to gentleman
who, whatever may be his qualifications,
had real grievance and was entitled TO
his day in court"
That is precisely our view Of the case
as moro than once expressed. 1t Is ono
thing to decline to re-elect man to Il
position which he has held, but quite
another to dismiss him for cause" Tho
difference Is so radical and 30 apparent
that 1t needs not to be pointed out.
The Landmark says.
'Dr. Fosters summary discharge from
the superintendency Of the Eastern State
Hospital by tho General Hospital Board,
in the face Of report in favor OF the
doctor by the majority OF the commit
| tee Of the Legislature which investl-
gated the charges against him, was
wofully unjust in our opinion, TO an ems
| ploye Of the State who, whether fully
measuring up to tho requirements of the
position or not had done nothing tc
warrant the humiliation Of dismissal.
III the General Board had been willing
to wait n few months until DR.. Fosters
term expired, 1t would have been {
| simple matter, and doubtless a relief t
| him, to install a successor on the Is
l OF April 1907. We feel very sorry FOL
him, because great many persons no
familiar with tho details OF the case
/ will infer that DIR. Foster was guilty o
acts OF omission or commission Which
We're never proved
At worst. the interests OF tho institu
ton could not have suffered seriously
had tho board delayed action fey
months, until the situation had clcarc
and adjusted itself. 1t was unfair an
unklnd to put tho stigma OF a dism!ssa
upon n State official against whom ther
was no suspicion OF corruption.

French and English fre1uented this
coast, there does not seem to have boon
any recognized colony. or any settled
form OF government until as late al
1913, when by treaty The island was
declared TO belong to Great Britain.
1t seems that wandering fishermen of
all nationnlities were accustomed to
camp on tho coast from ..mc to tlmc
and dry their fish, but no regular
colonization was attempted.
Tho Pcnnquid settlements on the Maine
coast can hardly be considered cons
petitor for the honor of first place. since
the records of this colony arc clear, q
deed being now on record showing that
John Brown, OF New Hnrbor. landed and
bought land from the Indians on July IS,
1925. BY that date there were q nuln-
Der OF colonies established on tho New
England coast
The Roanoke Island settlements arc n
| moro formidable competitor for the
| honor. In 1884 Sir Walter Raleigh,
brother-in-law OF the ill-fnter Sir Huns
phrey Gilbert. sent an expedition which
/, landed upon Roanoke Island. n. c. For
| tho comfort OF tho gentlemen from Caro-
| lima the report OF the captain OF this
/, expedition is given. I'VE find It." he
said, ian exceeding pleasant land: its
| people most gentle. loving and faithful,
and such as live after the manner OF tho
| golden age" The first colony contained
! men only. who. dreaming of an "El
/ Dorado" devoted their time to expora-
ton. rather than to building and raising
! crops. The second colony contained wo-
| mon and children, but small progress was
made in learning to deal with the In
dans, and the colony continued to rely
upon England for supplies which did not
come. The attack OF the Spanish Ar
mazda took the attention OF Raleigh and
the English or the colony for some time.
and when finally search WAS made for
them they werc not to be found. Tho
| fate OF the colonists has remained a
mystery to this day. (IIayklut Voyages.
