ent-Teachers' association will be held
this evening at Quincy school. At this
meeting the results of the recent
pageant and the ACCESSIBILITY of stag
ing it again next Friday evening will
be discussed. So many people were

The people in Garfield Place are
agitating nowadays for electric light
ing in their neighborhood. An en-
ploye of the Edison company who
lives in Garfield place has been plan
ming to get the Juice" from the street
car trolley to light his home. If he
carries the idea unto effect several
neighbors hope to tap his extension
of the line as he will have few thou
sand volts to spare if he takes his cur
rent from the street trolley. Statisti-
cally inclined citizens have even fig
ured that it would cost no more to
cook by electricity than it does by
gas, with the added advantage of heat
when the heat is needed.
Morris Rodgers was badly cut last

DeveIorIno the Island Of Elba.

Troy Times: A curious transfer
nation has been wrought in the island
OF Elba, in the Mediterranean off the
Italian coast. Elba's principal title to
fame has been the fact that 1t was the
residence Of Napoleon Bonaparte after
his abdication as emperor OF France in
1914. 1t was from Elba that B%onaparte
escaped in February, 1915. landed in
France, rallied an army and began the
attempt to recoup his fortunes which
constituted the activities Of the fam
GUS "hundred days" eliminating in
lasting defeat at Waterloo. The sec
ond deposition Of the emperor was
followed by exile to st. Helena. where
he remained until his death. Elba
now comes into notice because OF the
sudden development Of the iron mines
on the island. 1t has long been known
that Elba had large deposits Of miner
ais, including iron ore OF high grade,
but comparatively little had been
done in exploiting this natural wealth.
Difficulty in getting iron from other
sources has led to mining On a large
scale and to the erection OF blast fur
naces and other works. The island
has become a busy place, and with the
furnaces in operation and in view from

access OF prosperity, and some are
slyly expressing the hope that the
kaiser may be dethroned and sent
there. as was Napoleon more than a
hundred years ago. Should this prove
to be the case it is safe to assume that
such a watch would be kept as to pre-
vent Wilhelm from making his escape
