Id,

New York, July 10. The other day
it was my privilege to meet the sort
of New Yorker that sWarms here in
uncOunted thousands and yet is very
seldom written about. She was a little
girl, possibly eighteen, with a grave,
trustful face and only the haziest con-
ception of what New York is all
about.
She lives, you see, in a tenement"
in the neighborhood of Hester and
Allen Streets-where the population
den;ity is about ten to the square
foot and where the poverty is SO
great that it's tranScends mere lack of
money and becomes a way of life, a
character element, a sort of faith.
Her boy friend, who is a waiter in
a restaurant where i occasionally
dine when my family is out of town,
produced her proudly and suddenly
one evening when business was slow.
She will not see this for she is mag
nificently innocent of the babble of
professional chatterists so 1 can set
it down without danger of puzzling
her even more about the town and its
curious jewellers.
L took them That evening Tor
round of the various Cutlery places
the night clubs which had only been
a rumor ,Hefore. Indeed 1 don't think
she had ever been north of 18th
Street more than a couple of times
In her life, for she wanted to see the
Rockefeller Center of which she had
heard, and Times Square at night and
she asked me where the ZOO was and
seemed disappointed when I told he1
it was several miles uptown.
She was the perfect Cinderella. She
remained awake valiantlV and loaded

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS
July 10, 1777-Wiliam Barton, 90
year-old Rhode Islander, abducted
British general from his own head
quarters!
Robert PRESCOTT commander at
Newport, had made himself especial
ly obnoxious to local patriots, and
Barton revolved to capture him.
With 3S men in four whale-boats, he
crossed Narrangansett Bay, slipping
past three British warships, to land
near Newport. He surprised the
guards on duty in the sleeping camp
used a Negroes head as a battering
ram Ito break down the generals
door, and carried him, undressed, to
American lines, to be presented to
George Washington.
Congress rewarded Barton a sword
for his exploit, yet after the Revolu-
ton allowed him to remain in Jail
IA years because of debt!
July 10, 1863-The United States
went to war with Japan, without the
knowledge or authority of Congress.
When deaths of four Britons led
Britain to make demands on Japan
cred to leave the country, the Ameri-
can minister refused to leave, and
his legation at Nagasaki was destroy
ed by mob. simultaneously, an Anne
llcan steamer was attacked by two
Japanese ships.
The American minister on his own
initiative ordered the nearby u. S. S.
Wyoming to attack the city. 1t did,
blowing UP the two Japanese attack
ing-ships and silencing six land bat
teries. The u. S. S. Jamestown was
sent against Yokohama, and the min
lister, Robert Hewson Pruyn, 48, of
Albany, N. Y, chartered and armed
a Chinese ship, Ta-Kiang, to join
French and British ships in a further
attack.
There were no cable facilities, and
mails were months in transit between
Japan and Washington. Thus while
the Union battled the Confederacy,
tue U. s. was engaged in another
war with foreign country, unbe-
k owst to the government! BY the
time Washington did know of the
war, Pruyn had forced Japan to pay
heavy indemnities and established
peace.

Governor Cramer also expressed himself
as being conscious Of the fine cooperation
afforded him on every side That of the Co
lonia Council and then of an extraordina
ry amount coming from the people. The
Governor hoped to prove himself worthy
of the finest spirit, as being manifested and
wished to continue every effort to hold him
self above any unjust action that may cause
the people to turn or misplace confidence in
him.
We are resolute in our desire to give
Governor Cramer a chance to prove HIM
self We do not believe in the theory of
King Richard | and John of England to
kill first and Judge afterwards. The closing
statement in our New Year Editorial, Re-
