ton News Letter.
Periodical, In Manuscript Form, Called
master William" Issued 800
Years Ago by French on
st. Crolx island, Me-.

New York.-An Industrious digger
into the depths Of the past has
brought 10 light the interesting fact
that Americas first newspaper was
published a full century earlier than
the date commonly asoribed. II It
was not a newspaper in the later ac-
ceptance of the term it was at least
a PERIODICAL prepared and published
with more or less regularity for the
eager perusal Of the little community
which It served.
In short It was on st. Croix island,
a few miles below the present city Of
Calais; that the Master William was
published during the winter Of 1904
05 by the members Of the French ex-
petition under DeMonts and Cham
plain, who were seeking to establish
there tho capital Of the vast and
vague empire claimed by France in
America. They were the first Euro
peans to pass a winter on these north
ern shores Of the new world since
the days Of the legendary North
men centuries before; and at that
time they were the only Europeans
IN America north Of the S~paniards in
Florida.
Samuel Champlain himself, later
the founder Of Quebec and the father
Of New France, was the c~hronicler
Of the expedition, and in his vivid
story Of that winter on st. Croix is
land he makes express mention Of the
Master William, the significance Of
which appears to have been over
looked by historians generally. He
relates that the paper was prepared
from time to time by the bright spir-
fits of the party" to while away the
tedium Of the long and severe win
ter. It was passed around in writ
ten, not printed. form; but among a
few score men, all deadhead sub
scribers, that was a wholly satisfac-
tory method Of publication.
