HELENA. The Famous Island to Which Ha and His Men Have Ileen Kent. New York Tribune: All that has elven the island of St. Helena Its fame is the facf that it was there that Nanoleon spent the last six years (1815-1821) of his lire, mo long as his name continues to hold the place It does In human hlstorv. the little isolated volcanic cone, of forty- seven square miles, with a population of Dareiy lour thousand, will not be permitted to sink Into oblivion.

The transportation of General Cron.ie and his men to that lonely place, more than twelve hundred miles from Africa and eight hundred miles from tho nearest Island (Ascension), would, of course, serve to add to it new Interest and bring it once more Into prominence. Ht. Helena was discovered in by a Portugese explorer, Juan da Nova Cas-tllla. It was then densoly wooded, with redwood and ebony, but the destruction of Its forests has been followed by a wasting away of the soli, so that the slopes are now mostly barren. Willows, poplars and other trees from the temperate aone have been Introduced.

Apples, pears, grapes and potatoes have been brought and now grow side by side with coffee and tea plants, sugar cane, cotton and bananas. The island was first settled by Portu gese deserters, who were afterward Join ed by escaped slaves. Their offspring were a little later largely exterminated by the Portugese. Borne of them, however, must have escaped the general slaughter, for when 81r John Cavendish, lu his voyage around the world, visited St. Helena in I0S8 he found it Inhabited and containing a small town.

In l'ito the Dutch attempted to establish a settle ment, but relinquished the Island to the English in liL In 1WH the commander of a homeward bound Kast India fleet ot Knglish vessels took formal possession of It In the name of Charles II, who Imme diately made it over to the East India company. The Dutch again obtained possession In lb'TU, but tho next year It wag recaptured by Captain Richard Mun- den with three ships. Since that time the Island has remained a uritisn possession. The East India company invited settlers to emlerrate from England to St. Helana, and numbers of families which hud been reduced to beggary by the great nre in London took advantage of the offer of free land, which was assigned to them provided they would cultivate It within six months.

Slaves were also Introduced from Madagascar. Being situated in the direct track of vessels bound from the east to England around the Cape of Good Hope It soon became an important port of call for a large number of vessels. The chief source of Income of tho Inhabitants was derived from supplying fresh provisions to tha ships that put in at port. A large garrison was also Kept up, there being at one tlmo nearly twelve thousand men stationed there. Hetween 1H15 and lb.I the British government witn-drew the Island from the Kast India company.

Its eniet uso ouring mat periou being as a prison tor jsapuieon. in 1 fhe East India company resumed its jur-Isdlciloii over it, but In 1W1 It becamo a crown colony. Tho Island continued to prosper uniu the onenina of tho Buei canal. This alter ed the route to tho East Indies, thus de priving the Inhabitants of their means of livelihood. The Introduction of steam navigation also made tt unnecessary lor vessels to touch at that point.

The Island also received another blow In the reduction of the garrison and of the naval squadron which had been kept up for the suppression of the slave trade. The Inhabitants fell Into poverty, having nothing to depend upon but the precarious sale of supplies to American whalers which sometimes make Ht. Helens a port of call. It Is now a British admiralty coaling station, to which the Cape and South African squadrons sometimes resort. Ono battery of Royal artillery and cue company of infantry are also sutlon-ed there.

Almost throughout its entire circumference of twenty-eight miles the Island presents to the eye an unbeaten wall of cliffs, varying from 6i0 to l.Oflfl feet in lielKht. Jamestown, the capital of tho Island, is built In a ravine which has almost vertical sides, the height to the east being called Rupert's Hill, and that to the west Ladder Hill. These two mountains gradually recede from one an-nther until at the sea. where they end in neroendlcular cliffs. The ravine Is SiO mum our 1900 Hodel Andrae wonderful "Jowa" at always has fien and- machine.

Oe. 616-18-20 Locust St. Des Moines. faithful waiter. I remember the table talk as most delightful and profitable to me.

Looking back over a long an varied life I think that I have rarely, if ever since, sat down with so many men -and women of culture, so thoroughly unselfish, polite and kind to one another, ui 1 found at those plain but attractive tables. All seem 1 at rest and at their best. There wano man, tired with the stock market and his effort to make or increase a big fortune, coming horoa harassed or depressed, too cross or disappointed to talk. There waa no woman vying with others iu French gowns, laces and diamonds. The fact that ail felt that they wero honored for themselves alone brought out moo individuality In each, so that I hava often said that I havo never seen any other set of people wheTo each Individual seemed to possess some peculiar charm.

I do not recollect Hawthorne's talking' much at the table. Indeed, he was a very taciturn mun. One day, tired of seeing htm sitting unmovable on the sofa In the hall, as I was learning some verses to cite at the evening class for recitation formed by Charles A. Dana, I daringly took my book, pushed It Into his hands and said, "Will you hear my poetry. Mr.

Hawthorne?" He gave me a sidelong glance from his very shy eyes, took the bock and most kindly heard me. After that he was on the sofa every week to hesr me recite. He was one evening alone in the hall, sitting on a chair at the farther end, when my roommate. Ellen Blade, and myself, were going upstairs. Shu whispered to me, "Let's throw the sofa pillows at Mr.

Hawthorne." Reaching over the banister we each took a sofa pillow and threw it. Quick as a flash ho put out his hand, seized a broom that waa hanging rear him, warded off our cushions and threw them, back with sure aim. As fast as we could throw them at him ho returned them with effect, hitting us every time, while we could hit only the broom. He must have been very auick. In his movements.

Through It all not word was spoken. We laughed and laughed and his eyes shone and twinkled like stars with laughter. Wonderful eyes they wre, and when anything witty was said I always looked quickly at Mr. Haw. thorne; for his dark eyes lighted up as if flames were suddenly kindled behind them and then the smile camu down to his lips.

We laughed merrily and went off to bed, vanquished, without a word. 1 suppose Mr. Hawthorne's face must, have vorn that wonderful smile, which always seemed suddenly kindled behind his eyes, twinkled there' for a second and then ran swiftly over his Intensely grave face. Ocorg P. Bradford and Mr.

Hawthorne had the cure and milking of the cows on the farm, but not to the exclusion of other less Arcadian labors, as Is evident from the "American Note Books." Mr. Hawthorne seemed to have had a rather tender feeling for his bovine charges, expressing forcibly In "Bllthedale Romance' his Indignation at their "cold reception" of him on his return from an absence of several weeks. I remember distinctly th names of wo cows. Daisy and Dolly, from the fact that 'Messrs. Hawthorne and Bradford were particular always to assign to these cows adjoining stalls In tho barn at night, because they fancied they detected signs of special attachment between them In the pasture.

I recollect also Mr. Bradford's often begging ma stop at the gats through which the long lino of cows came at evening and watch the varying and interesting expression on their facea. The pigs, too, came In for a share of Mr. Hawthorne's attention. When, In th following winter, the Brook farmers, a delicate attention, sent a sparerib to Mrs.

George with whom he was then staying In Boston, thinking to pleasn him. he raised his hands in horror anil exclaimed that he would as soon think' of a sculptor's eating a piece of one of his own statues!

He said he will insist that tho management of the event be accorded to some other persons than those who hud the Wednesday night affair hi chargo. Members of the Builders' council say that they have every reason to believe there will be no trouble between tha builders and the members of the trado unions who have asked for an increase in wages to take effect April 1.

The council has rejected the requests, but It Is claimed that an amicable settlement will be reached by which tho builders will practically comply with the proposed scale but will Insist upon tha selection of their working- men on a merit basis.
