CORNISH TREASURE FOUND.
Buried Gold Found by Farmer
CIafme ed by the Duchy.

buried Gold Found by Farmer
Claimed by the Duchy.
Mr. De Castro GlubD, coroner, held
an Inquest at Liskeard guildhall yes
terday on thirty-one gold coins, found
buried in Trebraze farm yard near the
town. The coroner stated that no sim
liar Inquiry had been held in Cornwall
for at least one hundred years.
If the jury found that the coins were
treasure trove, he said, they would be
claimed by the Duchy Of Cornwall,
who, no doubt, would deal generously
with the finder, as was the practice Of
the crown. James Croker Govett, son
Of the owner Of the farm, described
how he found the coins while cleaning
the farm yard.
His mothers family, he said, had
owned the farm for years, and he pro-
duced document dated July 13, 1745,
relating to the finding Of 551a guineas
In the floor Of the barn by John Croker
and Dorothy, his wife. Mr.. volk, Jew
eler Of Llskeard, said many of the
coins were rare. Eight were Portu-
guese milrels, dated 1852 to 1725. The
remainder were English, the most an
cient being three gold units, or 20 shill-
Ing pieces, of James 1. and Charles l.,
while the rest were guinea pieces dat
Ing from 1880 to 1925.
The jury, Of which the mayor (Alder-
man Bone) was foreman, found that
the coins were treasure trove, and the
coroner handed them to the finder. Sub
sequently they were claimed by Alexan-
der Webster, steward of the Duchy of
Cornwall, and the matter will be laid
before the next meeting Of the duchy.-

filed with dispatches containing re-
ports of the indignant protests of Jap

of their fellow countrymen In this coun-

by opponents Of the party In power,
and the avowed object of the cam

Before the jamestown Exposition was
fairly under way on the Atlantic coast,
ground was broken In Seattle, on the
Pacific coast, for the Alaska Yukon Pa
clfic Exposition, which is to be held in
1909. The landing Of Englishmen in
America Is celebrated at Jamestown.
The purpose of the Seattle fair is to
call attention to the resources of the
Alaskan peninsula and to the Import
ance Of Pacific Ocean trade. If the
contrast between the present and three
centuries hence is as great as that be-
tween the beginnings at jamestown and
the fruition in Seattle, what imaglna-
tion Is vivid enough to conceive of the
conditions to prevail in the year 22OO?

WHAT THE PEOPLE DEMAND.
BY Gov. Chas. e. Hughes.

Ours is not and was not intended
to be pure democracy. 1t is i'm
practicable that the people should
administer the government directly.
They govern through representatives.
For their protection they have by
direct legislation created constitu-
tions lettering the power of their
Representatives and establishing
safeguards by which they are secure
In their personal liberty and in
the results of their thrift.
We note with satisfaction the in
creasing sense of responsibility to
the people on the part Of those who
represent them.

WORK FOR THE EDUCATED WOMAN.
BY Ambassador James Bryce.

There are two fields of work
which the average educated citizen
Of the male sex does not find time to
enter, but into which women have
more time to enter. One is the cul-
tivation of thorough knowledge
and fine taste in literature-th
habit Of reading that which Is not
ephemeral, the habit Of study, the
acquisition Of critical faculty
which discovers and enjoys what Is
Of permanent literary value.
The other field includes the study
