The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports significant historical events on March 16 across different years. In 1843, it highlights the Irish celebration of their Patron Saint's day, where snow showers failed to dampen the spirits of the Irish community. By 1903, the focus shifts to political news regarding the Panama Canal treaty and its anticipated financial implications, with $40 million payments expected to affect the money market. Lastly, in 1929, an archeological expedition in Egypt uncovers a Sixth Dynasty ruler's grave, revealing new insights into ancient Egyptian culture, specifically regarding royal adornments.
The anniversary of Ireland's Patron Saint is generally ushered in with a storm of rain; but this year, by way of variety, an abundant supply of snow has been substituted.
Owing to the fact that the Panama Canal treaty will probably be ratified by the Senate today, there was renewed discussion of the possibilities of the effect that government payments for the canal, aggregating $40,000,000, might have upon the money market.
Austria's archeological expedition to lower Egypt reports that it has found near Luxor the grave of a Sixth Dynasty ruler who wore a wig.
