ripe in years the deceased possessed
an unusual vitality and was,in her
usual health until about a week prev-
ious to her death, She possessed a
bright intellect which ' seemed the
more remarkable with the ° declining
•years of life. Her maiden name was
Jane Chalmers. She was born at
Stronsay in the Orkney Islands, in
November, 1830. At the age of 18
years with one brother and one sis-
ter she came to Canada, settling at
Pickering, Early in the fifties she
was united in marriage to the late
John Allison, Sr. They came to
Huron tract and while Mr. Allison
cleared little spot on the old home-

John Allison, Mrs. Allison made her
home with the late Mr. and Mrs. Robt.

artnership was broken in the passing of Mr.
Allison it the year 1908. Mrs. Alli-
son was the last of her family, one
sister dying in her native home at
Stronsay several months ago. The
deceased was a type of that pioneer
motherhood to which we owe so much
to -day. She was a devoted member
of the Thames Road Presbyterian
church and always had a strong faith
in her Saviour. For the. past two
years 'she has made her home with
her daughter, Mrs. George Monteith,
from which place the funeral took

BOSS CROKER AGAIN ON THE
FRONT PAGE
Throughout his long career publicity
has dogged Richard Croker and' been
his worst enemy. Now that he is
an old man, interested chiefly in dodg-
ing uncongenial weather and living
with his young wife, he finds himself
badgered by newspapers. This time
the occasion is a suit brought against
hint by his son. The son declares
that his father is incapable of man-
aging his own affairs, and asks that
he be restrained from transferring
more of his property to his Indian
wife. Croker's friends insist that his
mind is as keen as ever. He is quite
capable of putting up a fight to pre-
vent
revent his son. getting hold of his es-
tate, which is admitted to be about
$3,000,000; but naturally he hates
this washing of family overalls on
the front pages of newspapers, and
the incident has drawn from him
more than one good, hearty, old-
fashioned curse at newspapers and
newspaper reporters. The case has
had the unhappy result of produc-
ing in the press long reviews of
Croker's career; and Mr. Croker is
not so well satisfied with these pre-
mature obituary notices as he pre-
tends to be.
It has be a remarkable career,
this of the ignorant Irish boy who
became the ruler of New York be-
fore he was middle-aged. To what-
ever qualities he owes his success,
the first and most important one
was his ability as a fighter. He
was at one time a professional pugi-
list, and also a trainer and manag-
er of pugilists, none of them of )
front rank. But he had great
strength and more skill • than the
other young ,men with whom- be as-
sociated in . New _York, back in the
'sixties, and he had no more hesita-
tion than they in slugging a man
suspected of . being about to vote in

prove. Tammany Hall, the Demo-

supported, itself_ largely by strong-
arm methods, by intimidating voters,
and terrifying reformers. Young
Groker was a natural leader in this
kind of work, and made his way to
the head of the "Fourth Avenue Tun-
nel Gang," a semi -political associa-
tion- of thugs and criminals. In re-
turn for disabling or murdering voters
or rival leaders, they received, police
protection and occasionally got some
little political offices.
In 1868, Croker, as a reward for
having led his bandits to decide an
election in Philadelphia, was elected
alderman for the city of New York.
In'=1873 he was elected coroner, a
recogniation of the fitness of things,
for his friends had supplied New
York coroners with some of their
business. The next year, he was
tried for murder, but the jury dis-
agreed, and the indictment was
quashed. Croker told W. T. Stead:
"I _ was shortly' afterward re-elected
to the office of coroner, as .a mark
of public confidence." Groker was a
leader of the revolting Democrats
who, after "Boss" Tweed had become
internationally infamous as a grafter,
roused themselves to. oust him. They
succeeded, and atthe end of the fight,
found themselves in possession of the
Tammany machinery. Croker's re-
ward was appointment es City' Mar-
shal, his duty being to collect arrears
of taxes on a commission basis.
"Honest" John Kelly became boss of
Tammany. In 1886, he was succeed-
ed by Groker. Croker was not a man
of large imagiination. This interest
centered in the police and in the ,col-
°leetioti bf fees for the protection ol;
disorderly houses and gambling re-
sorts. He had an idea that for a
Tammany boss to aspire to the leader-
ship of the party in the. State was
unwise, and that 'Tammany even
should not interfere in Brooklyn af-
fairs.
He had been reigning some nine
,years when Dr. Parkhurst made his
famous charges in the course of a
sermon. Dr. Parkhurst, incognito,
with a. couple of friends had been
exploring the New York under-
world, and when he'mhde his attack
on Tammany he had more than 200
affidavits to support him. The
Lexow Commission , was formed - and
the disclosed evidence shocked the
United States. In examination Croker
with unparalleled hardihood admitted
that he was working for his own pock-
et all the time, and that the proper

administration of municipal miles'
was a secondary matter. Yet he es-
caped a criminal trial, although in a
fit of panic he fled . to the country!,
appointing a committee of three to
direct the affairs of Tairmany-in his
absence. Two years later he swag-
gered back and'took the reins from
the n veless hands of his nominees
and `continued` for years thereafter to
direct the affairs of the Democratic
party in New York city. How a man
with his record, and in the face of,
his sworn admissions of turpitude
could resume his sway. in New York
is something that must remain a
puzzle to foreign observers.
When he abdicated finally it was
because the man' had the ambition
to cut a swath in English society.
He bought a fine country place in
Ireland and established a racing stud.
He dropped a million dollars in the
venture but had the satisfaction of
seeing his colt Orby win the Derby;
but he was denied what every Derby
winner looks forward to as almost a
right -a presentation to the reigning
moanrch. King Edward declined to
meet King Groker, He maintains his
racing stable still, and despite his
losses on the turf, which have been
great, has now a fortune of $3,000,000
left. A few years ago he created a
sensation by marrying a woman young
enough to be his daughter. She is
said to be of pure Indian blood. His
undutiful son in Itis attacks upon his
sire's sanity says some extremely un-
complimentary things about this In-
dian princess, and declares that she
has obtained complete mastery over
the hard -faced old mean who once was
the czar of New York city, However,
as Groker himself says: "Tricks and
deception may do for a time, but
the man who gets to the front and
stays there is the man who is abso-
lutely truthful and honorable."

LOST: ONE CONTINENT IN
THE CARIBBEAN
Evidence has come to light recently
that if Columbus had set forth en
his great voyage a few thousands or
hundreds of thousands of years earlier
he would have found three instead of
two • continents of America. That is
to say, the world is shy at least one
continent which existed formerly in
what is naw the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea. Rumors of this
loss were rife as long ago as the
time 'when Grecian mythology was
being compiled, for there are refer-
ences there to the lost continent of
Atlantis; but whether the missing
continent really disappeared in .the
Atlantic is not known. Further re-
search may show that there has
been a defalcation to the extent of
several continents. What seems to
be established is that the present
Island of - Jamaica was not always
such, but was, on the contrary, the
centre of a fair-sized. continent. The
only alternative theory is that the
larger West Indian Islands were
once part of Central America.
It is not -too much to assume that
many readers at, present are un-
aware that between_ an ;island and
a continent there is it greater differ-
ence than in mere sizes. Islands are
of quite different formations, for the
most part. Excepting those situated
along what may • be called the shelf
of the continents, and were once part
of the mainland, islands are of oceanic
'origin. They come to exist as a re-
sult of coral growth or some volcanic
disturbance. They are either built up
by insects or are thrown up by some
tremendous convulsion of the earth.
Continents do not thus come into be-
ing. Continents are of the older line-
age. Islands are mere upstarts. This
is proved by the animal life found .on
continents . an d islands. Oceanic
islands have rarely any large mam-
mals. Their animal life consists
largely, if not wholly, of winged
creatures that found it possible to
cross large expanses of salt water
.from the continents to the islands.
They have also those lower forms of
-life the eggs of which happen to
have been carried by hurricanes,
waterspouts or other natural agencies.
The discovery with regard to the
lost continent of Antilla was made
by Captain H. E. Anthony, who
headed an expedition, sent out by the
`American Museum of Natural. His-
tory, and who has spent several
months in the Indies. The object of
the search was fossils, and the seek-
ers were richly rewarded. They found
fossil remains of many mammals now
extinct, some of them .being of varie-
ties not elsewhere encountered. , They
were. found in Pleistocene formations
and date-;wack probably one hundred
thousand - -Years. Most of the fossils
were found in limestone caves, - im
bedded in a hard limestone breccia,
and were cut out after -many hours
hard work. Most of the specimens
were brought back in the limestone
blocks and it is said that an immense
amount of labor will be necessary
...before the specimens are properly
identified and classified. One of the
curiosities was a monster rodent,
much larger than any now in ex-
istence. There is also a great collec-
tion of bats, reptiles and birds, : in-
teresting to naturalists. but not giv-
ing evidence that the West Indies
were once a continent or part of ,a
continent.
At the present time, the only wild
mammals in Jamaica are the coney
and the mongoose. The coney was
imported many years ago and flour-
ished. Unfortunately rats flourish-
ed in greater luxuriance and in order
to exterminate the rats a large im-
portation
of Indian mongoose was
made. The rats were more or less
abolished, but - the mongooses then
turned their ferocious attention to
the coneys and they have become :al-
most extinct. Captain Anthony found
some living in a restricted area in
the mountains of Jamaica and brought
home skeletons and skins in proof
thereof. An interesting fact is that
among the fossil mammals, the\ex-
plorers were unable to find any clos-
v related to those in Cuba and Porto
Rico. This has suggested the specula- r
ion of an eastern peninsulajutting
out from Honduras and that Jamaica
hnay not have been part of the
Antillean continent. The idea that
anmaica may have been isolated from
all other land and that mammals

If there is a iost continent, Cap-

tion also did corse ehecing up on
Herbert Spencer's °' theory, that in
tertiary times, the present bottom of
the sea was from a mile and a half;
to two miles higher than it is now
