grove of 63 acres. There are thousands
and thousands of them in Jamaica. and
strange as it may seem there is no con-
hlct between them and the negroes The
latter are SO lazy and are so amply uro-
yided for by nature for their simple
necessities of life that they regard with
no Jealousy or alarm the encroachments
OF their coolies upon the field of labor.
They simply look down upon them with
lofty contempt as little better than slaves.
OF course some negroes work upon the
plantations, and nearly all the labor in
the towns is done by negroes, and many
raise bananas and sell them independent
ly, but they cannot be depended upon
for the performance of the arduous and
steady labor necessary on the fruit plan
tations.
The coolies work among the banana
palms entirely naked, except for the
loose cloth around the loins, as shown in
the illustration. Though so exposed to
the dangerous bite of the tarantula that
is so numerous among the bananas, yet
it is seldom that they are ever bitten.
Some of the more enterprising of the
coolie laborers learn to adopt the English
style of dress, and on special occasions
are proud wearers of we'll fitting suit of
clothes. e. H. E.

policy In the slavery times the plant
ers were protected by the English gov
ernment, by a heavy differential duty
But free trade reduced the price of sugar
one half to the English consumer, and
the Jamaica planters were unable to
Withstand this second blow. With their
antiquated machinery they could not
compete with the planters of our South
ern States. Their estates became heavi-
" lnortgaged and many were abandoned
In 1855 Jamaica's production of sugar
was only Al, ,65e hogsheads, a striking
contrast to the $50, ,352 hogsheads pro-
duced in 1906, half ascentury before.
The result has been that on the.sam
estates where formerly the Jamaica
planters raised their sugar cane and
reaped a golden harvest, by the aidof
slave labor and a protected market in
Europe, enterprising Americans are now
raising vast quantities of bananas and
coconuts and reaping a golden harvest in

notable one in Jamaican annals. 1t was
the dawning that came after the darkest
night; the year of the first surplus of the
first shipment of fruit from Port An
tonic and the revival of coolie immigra-
tion. The limits of this article do not
admit of any statement as to the rapid
development of the fruit trade by Ame-
Port Antonio is beautiful little town
on the northeastern end of the island and
that it is the headquarters of the Boston
Fruit Company which controls 12 fruit
steamers which all the year round are
plying between our great northern cities
and Jamaica, and that each cargo is
worth from $4,000 to $50, 00O AT the
lowest calculation these steamers carry
away from Jamaica at least $50, 900
worth of fruit every week and this is
only one of several groat American fruit
enterprises.
Arrived in Port Antonio the stranger
from the North who has never before
visited the Tropics will certainly be un-
prepared, no matter how much he has
read about it, to find SO many black
people and so few white people He had
understood that Jamaica was an Eng
lish province and had been for centuries,
but Engishmen or white men, of any
nationality, are as rare almost as negroes
in the arctics. AT the first glimpse of
this little town, he realizes the real
meaning of the statement that jamaica s
population is 80 per cent. black, II per
cent brown and three per cent white.
Port Antonios streets are full of black
people. Negroes are doing everything
that is done in a small town. But the
stranger has been there but little while
before he discovers that there are other
black people in the town who are not ne
groes. He is very likely to meet group
of these people coming into the town from
the country The men are not SO large as
the negroes, though some of them are as
tall They are slender, graceful and up
right in stature and as regular and hand
some in feature as the Anglo Saxon race
They wear only a loose white cloth, wrap
ped around the loins. Some wear sim
pie shirt and short trousers of the same
white cotton cloth. On their heads are
turbans. Several women are nearly al
ways to be seen in these groups of hand
some black people. They are always very
small and frequently very shapely in
form. They are about five feet tall,
some shorter, few any taller. Many of

Ats3 She is Getting Ready for Trip to
Puget Sound.

Mrs Henry Ward Beacher will be 81
years old on August 26, but before that sh
will make a journey of g. 900 miles across
the continent and back. Instead of look
ing upon the trip of seven days each
way with dread, she regards it rather as
a mere jaunt. She is going to Puget
Sound to visit her son Herbert Beecher,
who is a pilot for the revenue cutters in
the service there. Herbert is my baby
she said yesterday; "my forty -one-year-
old baby, " weighing '220 pounds. Pretty
good for "a baby isn't it? I haven't beer
out there in four years, and there is q
member of the family haven't seen and
1 want to see her
"It's q little lonesome here, too, when
most of my friends and neighbors are
out of town. I leave here on the a0tE
with my grandson. Samuel Scoville,
who has just completed his law course in
New York. The journey takes seven days
but they let me have stateroom, and 7
just go on as usual, reading or sewing or
passing the time as L have mind to,
and not bothering about what they haye
for dinner until they call me- I have no
fears of the journey, and 1 expect to en-
joy it and be back here in few days
more than month. ~
Much has been written regarding Mrs.
Beecher's opposition to the substitution
of new hymnal for the one used in Ply
mouth church in her husbands days.
She said yesterday:
"All there was of it was that told DR.
Abbott I wished he would let the
hymnal alone while I lived He said that
300 hymns in it were never sung, and he
wanted to get rid of them. l asked him
if all the hymns in the other hymn books
used all around the city, were sung. and
when he said No. / said 1 thought it
was not then of such Importance that
ours be amended Immediately and that l
thought it might be allowed to stand as
it was during my life. That was all
there was of it. except that I told him
Mr. Beecher had been engaged upon re-
vising the hymnal. omitting some of the
hymns, and had just completed the work
when he died. Dr. Abbott asked if
I could get these papers, and I gave them
to him, but he did not use them. His
son is very fine musician, and the new
book contains some hymn music written
by him, and it is very nice; only felt
that 1 should like the book to remain un-
changed while l lived. IN. Y. Sun.

by subsection to all possible taxes,
checks and disabilities until their resent
ment eliminated in an outbreak in 1865,
which resulted in an uprising in the
eastern part of the island and the murder
of all the officials in the little town of ST.
Thomas in-the- East and in horrible pill
lage, arson and bloodshed.
The uprising was, of course, immedi-
ately put down, and with great severity,
by the English government, but it led
to reforms in the treatment of the negro
and was the beginning of Jamaicas S
present prosperity. The year of 1868 was

the great markets of the United States.
Where once the lazy and ugly negro slave
toiled amidst the sugar cane with no
more rights than the beasts of burden,
and with even more cruel treatment, the
graceful and industrious coolie from
India now plants and harvests the ba-
mana crop, with compensation for his
labor and with legal redress from wrongs
and ruelty.
AS in our own Southern states, so in
Jamaica, the freeing of the states resulted
in great industrial disturbance. The
negroes were, of course, untitled for use
fulness as free men. In that same year
of their freedom, 1910, 2O,0 coolie la
borers from India were brought to ia
maica. 1t was expected that the coolie
would stand between the planter and the
Inconvenience and loss which he ex-

The island of Jamaica is of special in
terest to Americans for two reasons Its
unusual attractions as winter resort
are becoming realized in our great north
ern cities, and its unusual advantages for
lucrative business in the cultivation
and export of tropical fruits are being
monopolized by American enterprise
For nearly two centuries and a half
ever since the days of Cromwell, Jamaica
has been an English province For near
ly two centuries, up to the freeing of
the slaves in 1S40 and adoption of free
trade by England soon after, the island
was the home of rich and powerful plant
ers who did an enormous business in the
manufacture of sugar and rum. The time
of their greatest prosperity was at the be-
ginning of this century. In 1905 was the
largest production of sugar, the estates
aggregating that year a total of $50, 352
hogsheads. Rum, too. in 1906, reached
IS, 7S0 punoheons. The annual output
of sugar neverfell below 100, 600 hogs
heads until 1928 when the first anti-slay-
cry agitation began. The slaves were
not finally freed till 1S4O This loss of
their slave labor was great blow to
the prosperity of the planters. But a se-
verer blow occurred few years later
when England adopted her free trade

winning in expression of countenance.
Indeed some OF them possess features as
delicate in contour and noble in express
sion as those of beautiful American or

Seldom does one meet group of these
people but that one or more of the
women is carrying a tiny naked baby,

VI course this method of carrying the
children induces an inclination of the

many children in this way during their
