to be hoped that it will be continued, and
followed by other denominations When the
Rector a week ago announced his intention
of holding 1t, and asked the members OF the
Congregation to contribute some products OF
the land however tlifing, little did he think
l suppose he would have received such
unanimous reply TO his appeal. Planters and
labourers, in fact all classes gave freely. and
the interior of plain St. Paul's was trans
formed into "a thing of beauty and was in
deed "a joy to all.
Entering the aisleS Of the Church beautiful
canes, from the tops Of which shooted the
arrow, were placed in such a manner IN The
pews that they formed arches the pillars
were beautifully festooned with leaves and
flowers, while here and there, wherever the
eye rested, one saw clusters of fruit, COM
prising oranges, pine apples, melons, pome-
granates. grapes, bell apples, in fact all
which are at present III season.
Palm branches also formed quite q feature
in the decorations.
Flowers were in profusion everywhere,
lovely bouquets were placed in the chancel
and the new marble pulpit was a poem on
tropical luxuriance. The. decoration of the
Church was almost entirely the work Of the

without them, particularly when Church
work is concerned ?-and they are to be con-
graduated on the artistic effect which was
produced.
The sermon preached in the day was from
Matt. 5th chap. and 45th verse. For he
maksth his sun TO rise 0" the evit and on the
good, and 8endcth rain on the Just and on the

Lord bless thee both of which were listened
to with rapt attention. Iregret my inability
to give a stenographic report of the words of
the gifted preacher, but the latter sermon

widely circulated in this island, it being what
/ would call a workingman's sermon, the
general perusal of which think would tend
to improve considerably the relations between

TELEGRAMS-
ST CROIX STATION.

New York, July 7th.-London news an.
hounces that the Bill giving the Government
conJlol Of alien paupers, including Anar-
chists, was yesterday read a first time in the
House Of Lords. During the discussion on
the Bill Lord Salisbury stated that recent
events had entirely altered his views re-
garding the tight of an asylum to aliens.
England, here GREETED to ay, was becoming
the head quarters of Anarchism to al alarm
ing extent, ard that it was an insult to
GarbaIdi and Kossuth to mention their names
in connection with those now seeking tbs
protection Of England.
Lord Rosrbery. replying, agreed as to pau-
pers. but he considered the remarks made by
Lord Salisbury with reference to Anarebism
there was nothing more disastrous ever said
in Parliament and nothing more Likely to
complicate Foreign relations than the i'm
parchment Of England as being the harbourer
of assassins.
The 4imps in an editorial c,mmenting on
the debate praises the object Of the bill. but
deprecates the description Of England as a
sanctuary for criminals.
The Daily News expresses the opinion that
the speech made by Lord Salisbury is the
most deplorahle ever delivered by him.
AT Henly yesterday the finals were contest
ed, and resulteU as fOiloWs:-1he 6rahu chal-
lenge plate was won by the Leauder Eight.
The Silver Goblets by the Nickalls brothers.
The diamond scuIls were secured by Guy
Nickails. The Thames challenge cup by the
Trinity eight of oxford. The WyfoId chal-
lenge cup, the Thames club foui, the Ladies'
challenge plate being carried of by Elton
College.
Advices from St. Ouen Sur Seine report
that the Charpentiers awning factory has
been DESTROYED by fire, the damage being eS-
timated at several million francs.
Dispatches from Chicago state that the
Pullman car strikers are becoming riotouS and
destructive. Hundreds of railway cars re-
manning at the Worlds Fair buildings have
been burned, the loss being estimated at
three million dollars.

Thomas.
An inquiry into the origin Of our local
names would not be without interest. Some,
like the names Of our two towns. Of Mt.
Eagle, Blue Mountains, Salt River, and
Sandy Point speak for themsel, es. Others
are not to be understood without some know
ledge Of their history. such as Protestant Cay,
Company Street nnd Walters Point. This
latter class contains some names the history
Of which is generally known on is easily as
certainable, and other names the history Of
which is not so generally known or 80 easily
ascertained. Among this second class we
may rank the name Of Buck Island, the lsIet
which lies off our north eastern shore. The
name has become pretty widely known OF
late, from the grounding of the steamer Eden
on another islet of the same name near st.
Thomas. on Tortola there IS a third Buck
Island, and possibly there are others III the
neighhourhood. Although we have heard
several guesses az to the origin of the name
we have never heard, till recently. any ex-
planation that seemed likely to be the true one,
Lately, however. such an explanation was
offered us by a elbow passenger on board the
Vigilant, who called our attention to the
fact that the several Buck Islands we're near
10 tN6 entrances Oh udI DOulS u u CudbhCloi
and informed us that there were several such
islets off the coasts of the Spanish islands,
where each was caled ''Isla lie Boca' or
island IL of the mouth. "Buck,' our informant
thought, was only an altered form of "Boca."
Our readers will doubtless recall the Trinidad
channels connecting the guilt of Paria with
the Caribbean Sea which are called Bocas
and where there are also islands known rs
the islands of the Bocas. We talked of the
above suggestion to a St. Thomas gentleman,
who thereupon Showed us an old map of St.
Thomas dated l7l9, in which the names are
in Dutch, and where Buck Island is entered
as "Het Bokken Ey1andt.'' In the old Danish
map Of St. Croix, dated 1884. which we re-
ceutly described IN these columns it will be
remembered that our Buck Island is named
"Bocken Eylanl.' From oil of which 1t will
be seen that there is reason for surprising
that the name Buck Island is only Il corrup-
ton Of lSla de Boca through B"cken or
Bokken. Ofcourse. il may be otherwise. and
if amy reader can give another account Of the
name We shall be glad to hear from him.

ing boy. Rocel was questioned and
denied seeing the child. His daughter
admitted she took the child from

An Honest Man.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-Several days
ago Representative Sibley Of Pennsyl.
vania resigned his seat In the House.
He was not in sympathy with the tar
if bill. He felt that he could not con.
sislently support 1t, and he thought 1t
better to retire from public life and per-
init his constituents to elect success
sor who would more properly represent
their wishes. The resignation met
with storm Of protests from many of
the leading members of his party. Sib-
ley went over to Harrisburg Saturday
and had conference with Governor
Pattison. The Governor urged him to
reconsider his resignation. his argu-
ment being that his withdrawal from
Congress at this time would work more
Injury to the party organization than
any action which Slbley might take re.
garding the tariff bill. Sibley received
number of kilograms today from his
constituents urging him to withdraw
Ills resignation and serve out his term.
In compliance with these requests Sib.
Icy has decided to remain, but this de-
clsion will not affect his action upon
the tariff bill. He Is still unalteredly
opposed to that measure, and will vote
against it.

Of New York, Harter Of Ohio, and
Simpson of Kansas. The Internal rev
enue bill was then agreed to as an
amendment to tho tariff bill by "a vote
Of IT'S to Sc.
Among the Republicans who voted
In favor Of the amendment were White
Of Ohio, Bowers of California, Taylor
Of Tennessee, Bartholdt of Missouri
and Bundy Of Ohio. The entire New
York delegation voted solidly against
ed the result. Wilson of West Virgin
la then offered an amendment to in
crease the tariff on barley from 20 per
cent. to % per cent, and on barley
malt from 30 per cent. to 35 per cent.
Several amendments were offered to
Wilson's amendment, and the iilibus-
tering which was started late last Sat-
urday afternoon on the same question,
was renewed. The opponents of q
higher duty on barley were able to
filibuster away the ten or fifteen min
utes wGich remained before the recess.
Wilson finally moved that debate be
this last motion. but although the Re
publicans and some of the Democrats
rushed to get between the tellers, the
hour of $50 arrived before a quorum
had voted, and the House went into re-
cess, and the barley schedule again
went over.
Mr.. Talbert Of South Carolina was
one Of the speakers at the evening ses-
sion last night, but the reporters acct
dentally omitted to state the fact. Tai
bert made an earnest appeal to the
committee to vote for the income tax

were strong and forcible. He was for
the masses, as against the classes.
