and where a guest chamber or any
provision for entertaining friends has

LoRs before New York bore It's
English name ii was worthily christ
ened New Amsterdam by the brave
Dutch colonists who were its earliest
settlers. In 1913, the vast cosmo-
politan city now known as Greater
New York had for its nucleus four
little houses, occupied by people
whose business it was to collect beav-
er and otter skins and sell them to
traders from Holland, whose ships
had dared the wide ocean in search OF
profitable ventures. At that period
Holland led the world in commerce
and the Dutch, then as now, were dis
tinguished for shrewdness, sagacity,
enterprise and an unconquerable love
of liberty. The word Dutch" signi-
fies folk or people, and contains,
strangely enough, a prophecy of the
cosmopolitan character of the town
that in 1914 was named New Amster-
dam. In 1914 New Amsterdam was
taken by the English and renamed
New York.
Archbishop Fenelon said long ago
of New York: when one beholds
this city, one is inclined TO believe
that it is not the city OF a particular
people, but the common city of all the
peoples Of the world, and the centre
of their commerce"
New York itself is a collection Of
cities, as it we're, merged into one,
under single government. 1t is cos
mopoltan, and the stamp of its char
acter was given it away back in the
early days Of New Amsterdam. A
stones throw from those residential
parts Of the city that are the chosen
abodes of wealth and fashion we find
crowded quarters where the older in
habitants speak foreign tongues, and
the children only are familiar enough
with English to use 1t in preference
to the language Of their parents.
There are French, Swedish, Danish,
Finnish, Italian, German and Hunga-
rian quarters in the great city of New
York, and more and more in recent
years has it become sought by an i'm
mense and steadily increasing rein
forcement of Hebrews, who find here
a refuge from the prosecutions of
centuries, and place where their
peculiar commercial genius may find
room for expansion. The benefcent
agency of the public schools, more
than any other, brings to bear upon
the children OF the foreign population
the spirit of American liberty and
trains them in the elements of good
citizenship and in ardent love for the
flag of the republic.
One is sometimes tempted to won
der what Father Knickerbocker would
think, could he visit to-day the city
of Peter Stuyvesant. Fancy the
ghosts Of the people in our picture
trying to find the localities with
which they we're once familiar. Few
traces linger in the New York of the
twentieth century Of New Amsterdam

bustling crowds, the hurling forward

The life of the Dutch in Manhat-

There is nothing narrow or mig

abundant reasons for thanksgiving.
Those who are most thankful often
seem to ordinary observers unreason-

in final decision by agree
ment involving the use OF safety ap-

settled a question of great importance
to coal operators and miners. The
case grew out of report made by
Mine Inspectors Pratt, Adams, Ross

ton of the Manifold mines of the
Youghiogheny and Ohio Coal Com
pany, two miles north of Washington.
The decision is to the effect that
all parts of the mine be worked with
locked safety lamps, except those por-
tions which are unused and the work

cept in main haulage passageways
which are to be determined by the

In the fall OF 1908 young Lien en-
rolled as student in the Iowa school
for the deaf at Council Bluffs. He
rlearned the printers trade, worked his
way thru the school, and graduated in
the spring Of 1906. The following fall
he went to Washington, d. c., where
he entered the national school for the
deaf, Gallaudet College. where he was
student two years, taking UP special
work in English literature and history.
Melvin Lien was a bright young man,
and gave great promise in literary
work. He wrote fluently and has done
some very clever things, both in stories
and poetry. He had been doing news
paper work in Boston when he left on
his transcontinental trip afoot on May
). and was earning his way on this long
journey by special correspondence
work for eastern newspapers.
Mr.. Lien is survived by his parents,
a brother Victor, aged II. and one
sister, Lillian. aged 10. A half sister,
Mrs. Sophia Greeting Prazak. lives in
Oelwein. and reached the city this
morning to be with her mother.
1t is not known as yet when the body
will reach this city. and no arrange
ments have yet been made for the flu
neral further than it will likely be
held from the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Sundell, and interment will be
in Riverside.
