Efforts have been underway for 2 long time to put the government into posses- tlon of the Cape Cod canal, that artifi- clal waterway that shortens the distance between Bostop and points along the cozst to the south by about 60 miles. ‘While previous efforts have failed nal the prospects at the present time ®eem much brighter, the project having ihe endorsement of Secretary of War Wegks and provision for carrying it ouf has been made In the budget. When the government took charge of transportation in the country during the war it also took over this camal and even advanced money for work that needed to be done upon it. It is & wa- terway that ean be of much serviee to government as well as other vessels by sliminating that dangerous trip over the shoals and around Cape Cod where so many ships have been wrecked. Like- wise it furnishes an ‘inside route that makes navigation possible regardless of storma.

From one end of Englund to the oth- er there was great Sxcitement in May, 1798, ‘when the trial took, place in the house of -lords, ut Robert Earl of King+ ston. He was charged with one of ‘he most serious charges that can be inade againw any man—the .gurder of a fel- low subject” The Prolog to the case was as follows: In the summer of 1787 the Hon. Mary King, daughter of the Earl of Kingston, disappeared from her home. She left a note, saying that she was going from the parental r1oof with the intentlon of drowning herself in the Thames. Men were gent out posthaste and discovered her shawl and bonmet on the bank of the riger, and <o the people of the nelgh- borhood, as well as most of the family v Q4 that she had committed Not s0 the father, however. He id see no reason for his daw Many . ad- umblea mpon something Which affordéd a czlew to the mystery. A postboy informed him that, while ariv , ha a gentleman on the road {o Lon- {' a lady standing alone i road.! He felt sure that she was there for @ purpose, and he was mot wrong, for as the coach drew up to her, the gentleman inside ordercd the boy to stop, and without a word of explanation, the lady clYmbed in. When they ar. rived at London, they both “ got out and walked off arm in arm, but to where he had no idea. The Earl then excitedly aSked for a description of the girl, but the hoyv sald that it was nearly ark and he could not see her features. The earl-turned away In disgust, when suddenly the hoy called him back and said that the Jady he #aw on the road was very conspicuous by the abundance and length of her hair. The Farl of Kingston at orce came to the conclusion that this must be his daughter, as this was her one notjceable feature. But this led to no trace of the girl, althoush it had the effect of redoubling the efforts of the sear®ders. However, one day, a servant girl of the very low- est class £aid that she had waited on a girl with very lonz hair at a boarding house where she was employed and also that a gentleman that seemd to be of rank, often visited her. At this mo- ment the cousin of the tost girl, Col. Fitzgerald, walked Into the room and to the surprise of the company, the girl blurted out: “Why, that's the very gen- tleman that visits the strange lady.” If at this stage Fitzgerald had kept cool e could have saved himself, but he acknowledged the crime by at oncs bounding ut of the room and making his escape throngh a2 window.
