DESTINY FAVORED AMERICA

Famous Event In Our History Being
Celebrated In Commemoration of
champIain's Discovery of Lake
Crown Point Claims Site of Battle
Fought by Explorer and Algonquin
Allies Against the Iroquois Indians
Port Henry, N. Y, July 6.-At
historical old Crown Point, where,
three centuries ago, Samuel De
Champlain with his Algonquin allies
engaged in battle against the Iroquois,
a struggle which has been described
as one of the cardinal events OF
American history, there were begun
! the ceremonies of a week, undertaken
by the states of New York and YER
mont in celebration of the tercenten-
nary of Champlain's discovery of the
lake.
Within the ruins of old Fort st.
Frederic and in the presence of a
holiday throng, Governor Hughes of
New York sketched briefly the objects
of the celebration. Historical ad-
dresses were delivered by exMayor
Low of New York and Albert C..
Barnes of Chicago, and Clinton Scol-
lard of Clinton, N. j., read an ORR
ginal poem.
The occasion took on dual signifi-
canoe in that it celebrated the Booth
anniversary of the discovery of the
lake and the 133rd anniversary OF the
independence of the United States.
Governor Hughes, after reviewing
the historical significance of the oc-
casion, came down to present day
conditions, and said:
Three nations join today in COM
mon recognition Of the sons who here
displayed valor and heroism worthy
of the highest standards Of each.
Without taunt or bitterness, without
vain regret for the inevitable, with
out the suspicious of i'll will or the
boastings Of Ill natured rivalry, we
retrace the paths of early strife.
Upon this vantage point have stood
French and English, each in its turn
bent upon dominating the future of
this favored land. Each regarded the
other as the foe of its ambition, and
its rival in the scheme of conquest.
But destiny would have it other
wise and amid these ruins of am
bition were laid the foundations of the
republic under whose banner we meet
today, the friend both of France and
of England, in whose blessings the
children of both the ancient rivals
share, whose peaceful progress is a
boon to all mankind"
Judge Barnes pointed out that the
occasion ought not to pass without
re-assertion of Crown Points claim
to the site OF the battle of Lake Cham
plain. He said that here, then, of all
places on this lake, should be erected
a monument to the memory of this
great explorer, who more than any
worthy zeal for state and religion.
The New York and Vermont COM
missions contemplate the erection of
a memorial to the discoverer, but its
location has been a subject of discus
sion.
After luncheon Governor Hughes
and the others went to Crown Point,
where they viewed the first production
of the Indian pageant given on huge
floating island. Scores of Indians
from the Canadian reservation, in
plumes and warpaint, gave an inter
esting production of the Indian version
of Hiawatha. concluding with Cham
plains battle. The addresses were
delivered later in the old fort.

Uncas Eats "Human Flesh"
Norwich, Conn.,, July 6.-Presi-
dent Taft was the chief figure in the
celebration of the 250th anniversary
of this history laden old New Eng
land town. In an address to the peo-
pie, following splendid military
parade and civic display, the presi-
dent, finding a theme in the church
influence in the building up of Nor
witch, took occasion to express his
views upon the liberty of religious be-
lief.
He pleaded that every man should
be allowed to worship God in his own
way The president declared amid
laughter that the American forefath-
ers came to this country ostensibly to
escape religious intolerance, but as
matter of fact came in order that they
might follow out their own religious
ideas in their own way and with a
large degree of intolerance toward any
other form of belief.
I'VE have passed beyond that now"
said the president, land are coming
more and more to realize the right Of
the individual to worship God as he
may choose"

incident. An open air pageant de-
picted scenes leading down from the
wars between the Mohican and Mar
ragansett tribes of Indians, through
the purchase Of the site of Norwich
town from Uncas to Revolutionary
days, the welcome to Washington,
the return of the soldiers from the
Civil war, the dawn of peace, the
present day and the hope of the flu
ture.
The pageant, held on grassy plot,
surrounded by giant trees, was pre-
tentious undertaking. Several hun
dred persons took part in the Ia
bleaux, the Indian dances, the battle
between the tribes, the capture OF
Miantonomoh by Uncas, the death OF
the former and the portrayal of .Me
march of historic events.
The fight of the Indians was carried
out with great fidelity of detail, and
even while the president looked on
the mock Uncas supposedly cut from
the shoulder of his dead enemy a
piece of flesh and ate it with every
evidence of fiendish delight.
1t is historically related Of Uncas
that he afterward said that this was
the sweetest meat he had ever tasted
and that it made his heart strong.
After witnessing the pageant, the
president was driven to the grave of
Uncas in Sachem street, where a
monument stands to his memory as
the good friend of the white man. The
president also was shown many other |
points of interest. 1t seemed that |
nearly every building in the city was
of sufficient historic significance to |
bear descriptive placard.
The president, arriving from Bev-
erly by special train, was driven di-
rect to the pageant. Later he re-
viewed a parade which was notable in
many Of its features, addressed the
people from the reviewing stand, held
a reception in the Buckingham Me-
mortal and witnessed last night a
brilliant display of fireworks.

CUT FROM A SAW
The Only Blemlsh Found on Body of

New York, July 6.-The only blem-
ish on the body of John r. Early,
who was held in Washington for al
most year as leper, is a patch of
court-plaster between two fingers about
as big as a quarter Of dollar and that
very patch, 1t is said at the New York
skin and cancer hospital, where he
arrived Sunday, is proof that he is
whole and sound.
Early cut his hand on a saw few
days ago and the court plaster is used
merely TO protect the wound. The
cut is healing nicely" says his
nurse, but IL Early had leprosy it
would be a very different matter. He
has not leprosy, but a mild case of
'denatitis venenata,' not at all

The transportation committee of the

TO Washington TO file its protest. A

The transportation committee of the

of shippers for delay in unloading cars
