State Was Originally
East and West Jersey

1.-THE Jerseys frequently occurs In
American historical writing as the
familiar name Of New Jersey. Every.
body, for instance, has read Of Wash.
ington's historic retreat through the
Jerseys. This arose from the fact that
what now comprises the state Of New
Jersey was at one time divided into
two provinces known as East Jersey
and West Jersey. This territory was
originally part Of New Netherland or
New York and nlong with that prov
lnce was granted by Charles II to his
brother, James, duke of York. In the
same year, 1865, the duke Of York
granted the tract between the Hudson
and Delaware rivers to Lord John
Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. 1t
was called New Jersey in honor Of
Carteret who had been governor Of
the isle Of Jersey. At first the terri
tory was governed as one province,
but when 1t was later partitioned the
portion originally granted to Berkeley
was called West Jersey and that to
Carteret East Jersey. In 1852 the prov.
ince Of East Jersey was sold at pub.

Medusa's
Head
New and unusual Serial Story
To be Printed In These
Columns.

Mrs. Josephine Daskam Bacon,
the author Of our new serial,
writes Of society and society folk
with a sureness of one whose
knowledge of the subject is init
mate. This author knows the
background of New York's social
life and her pictures of this back
ground are bright and fascinating
and her characters vivid.
'Medusa's Head tells the story
of the mystifying disappearance Of
one of the most beautiful young
matrons in the fashionable set.
Apparently Mrs. Crandall White
is happily married, certainly she
is in good health, and the in
scrutable little note she leaves on
her departure might mean almost
anything. Only one thing is made
explicit and that is, no search Is
to be made. IF you try to find
out by the police, ] swear that
will never come back she wrote.
In these days Of so many mystery
and detective stories, one with
unique situation, q new combi-
nation of events, stands out. The
reason for Mrs. Whites disappear
ance is as unusual as 1t is curious.
Many women will ponder upon 1t.
Every reader will delight in the
gay comedy vein in which the
mystery is developed, and enjoy
the note Of rare romance upon
which the story closes.
This clever story in serial form
will start in our next ISSUE 1t is
unusually interesting and clever
in plot and presentation. A story
you will want to read and will
await the appearance of each new
installment with increasing inter-
est.

 portant Testimony

VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 18.-Capt. J. A. Slater, of the steamer Prin- cess Louise, testified yesterday there was no sign of drunkenness among the passengers on his ste m e r southbound from Ketchikan last October when Miss Ruth Rinehart, Portland nurse and a native of Wrangell, Alaska, disappeared over board one night.
 Three Marine Commissioners are hearing the inquiry, prosecuted by A. M. Johnson for the Attorney Generals Department.
 Capt. Slater said the day was Sunday and there was no chance to buy liquor in the stores of Prince Rupert, B. C., while the steamer was there.
 Lillian Boughen, stewardess, tes- tified Miss Rinehart boarded the steamer at Wrangell The bed ill her stateroom had not been slept in but was disordered as though person had been sick.
 There was no indication of foul play.
 Late yesterday afternoon Prose- cutor Johnson said he would call one of the passengers aboard the Princess Louise, sometime today, who will testify he heard Miss Rinehart say: If you don't leave me alone I'll suicide"
 The passenger is said to have overheard the conversation which took place in the girls stateroom
