WORLD HEARS NEWS QUICKLY But Ono Hundred Years Aoo the Horse Was the Only Means of "Rapid" Communication. A few hours aftor Caruso died tho cWillied world knew of It nnd wns In mourning. A hundrod years ago NaDoIeon dlod. on May B, 1821 nnd It was exactly sixty days before tho world received the news, the New xork Evening Post states. Though tho English wore expecting his death nt any moment nnd hnd mntlo ovcry preparation to hnve word trnns mlttod from St, Ilclenn to Englnnd with all possible dispatch, It wns not until July 4, that the nows reached London, hnvlng beon brought there i the sailing vosiwl Horon. In ncror ilnnco with tho spirit of tho timed, the tuessajco wns not given nut on tho arrival of the tesscl, but wns first con veyed to the colonial office, nn net which roaulred aptiroxlinatoly two hours In Itsolf. July 4, 1821. fell on Wcdncmlny, On Friday, July 0, tht news reached Parts. Meiscngors wore dispatched from PaHs to Oertnnny, where the nwiD9iorg commented on the death of "General lionnpnrto' for tho first time on July lli, sixty-eight days nfter the event had taken place. And this notice was In n pupor nulillnlivd at Marence. then virtually a French town. The VoMliiche Zeltung, founded In 1704 nnd then, ns now, tho lending German dalty. contained no notice of Napoleon's duntti until July 14, nnd then It merely copied tho Jmuoti Times. Private Individuals living In the provinces, nviiriilefm of their station In life, received the news much later. It wns not conveyed to Goethe. then living nt Weimar, until the very last of July. He received It In letter beating a hlnck seal. DEVOTED TO BRITISH CROWN People of the I eland of Jersey Have for Centuries Been Proud of Their Loyalty.
