look at this matter in a business

action, you should turn this road

built along the river route.
There are many reasons which
we cannot enumsrate in this short
article, why you should be earnest
in your efforts to secure this road,
and to have it built at an early
day. This road once built along

Jaw Gould Didn't 60,

Jay Gould, the American millionaire
and stock-exchaDge gambler, arrived
here in pleasure yacht last week, and
sailed from this port last Monday.
His visit creaued no great interest be-
yond his yacht, because of its costIi-
ness. During his stay in this city he
had, of course, a separate table for
himself. and he received that measure
of homage which is usually paid In all
parts of the world to men of reputed
wealth. Character is not considered
in such cases, and therefore is not
counted. Those who delighted in MAX
ing salaams to the golden calf did so,
while others, who considered it more
in keeping with their profession to
''hold a candle to the devil" were al
lowed to do so, and nobody interfered
with their devotions. In the evening
of Saturday select dinner party had
been arranged, and Jay promised
faithfully to crafty the ambition of
his admirer and to dine with him at
GAIA; but, although the table was laid
and the dinner kept hot, and 'Mumm's
champagne" was cooling in the ice,
and the butler wore double. starched
collar, and all the family-the host,
''his sisters, his cousins, and aunts"-
kept on the tiptoe of expectation, i'm
patiently waiting the arrival of jay,
for he assured the host he would come,
Jay never came at all. Yet we are
told the preparations for the reception
of his Satanic majesty were such as
had not been known in Jamaica for
the last fifty years. What a loss to
