SAN JUAN WEATHER.

Weather Observer GeOghegan' 3 COM
prphensive summary Of the weather Ill
San Juan county for the past five years,
As published in THE ISLANDER last
week would make most excellent I'M
nIjgration document. 1t would appear
with special force to people who have
become weary of the hot summers ana
cold winters of most of the eastern ana
middle western states and are consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of migrating TO
mildcr cline. Bearing in mind the
general reputation of the country Tor
wet winters they would note with some
surprise that the average annual ram
fall is only $3.50 inches, as compared
with forty to fifty inches along the At
lantic coast and sixty to seventy inches
in the extreme south. And the impress
sion that it is generally cloudy here
would be dissipated by the knowledge
that there are on an average 2o5 fair to
10 cloudy days each year, there haV-
ing been PIT fair days and only 80
cloudy days in 1895. AS to temperature
its remarkable evenneSs is shown by
the fact that there Is a difference OF
only 1850 between the warmest and
coolest months. From May to Octo-
Der 81 the average temperature is 81
and from November TO April 80, 400.
The highest shade temperature re-
corded in five years was 90 on July Il,
1891, and the lowest during the unpre-
cedented cold wave in 1898, when the
mercury fell to six degrees below zero
during the night Of January 30. The
average temperature of the month of
July is 81. 10; of August, 63.30; OF Janu-
airy $3.50 and of February 37.70. The
nights are always cool and there are
few localities where "tired natures
sweet restorer", sleep, can be enjoyed
in larger or more refreshing dOses-and
this atone is a boon incalculable alike
to all whose muscles are wearied by
physical labor or to those whose nerves
are daily strained by mental work and
worry. Add to this remarkably health
full and invigorating climate the WON
derful resources of "the heavens above,
the earth beneath and the waters I'M
derneath" and we have what must
have been designed by the Creator for
veritabIe Utopia. And perhaps it will
be one some day, when the county debt
is all paid and warrants are at par;
when the farmers have learned to raise
mortgages as well as grain and root
crops, fruit and live stock; when Cath
olics and A p. AS. dwell at peace with
one another, and Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and Pops have buried their hatch
cts and their animosities and lain down
together in peace and harmony on one
great platform of good government.

IT seems quite evident that what
ever is accomplished in promoting set
Element and development in San Juan
county and in establishing new enter
prises must be through private effort
rather than through or by a board of
trade or county immigration society.
There apparently exists either an I'M
accountable antipathy or inexcusable
Indifference to any organization of that
character. 1t is of little use to SOW
any seed, however good, in soil un-
prepared to receive it.

A WASHINGTON dispatch, published
i'm THE ISLANDER last week reported
that Miss Flagler, daughter of General
Flagler chief of the ordinance bureau
of the navy department, who last spring
shot and killed a little colored boy
who had climed the fence surrounding
the Flagler grounds, "pleaded guilty
of involuntary manslaughter and was
sentenced to three hours in Jail and to
nav fine of 500" The dispatch further
says:
IAN effort was made to keep the trial
from the public, and for that purpose
Judge Cox called court half an hour be-
fore the usual time The district attorney
said this was one of those unfortunate
accidents which does not call for anything
but the lightest penalty in the power OF
the court, and Judge Cox declared the
sentence without making any comments.
Miss Fiagler was driven to the Jail in her
fathers carriage, and was received by the
warden with great courtesy. She passed
the C6 Al eiiO WI - - ~pNAD--
room, in company with General Flagler
and aunt, and was then driven to her
home"
1t is more than likely that the young
lady did not really intended to kill the
boy, although it is not denied that she
deliberately shot at him from the win
dow of her room. Naturally enough
she was sorry for it afterward and said
she only meant to scare him. 1t is not
to the credit of the judge and district
attorney that they should connive at
keeping the matter quiet, and it may
we'll be doubted if their bowels of COM
passion would have moved in like man
ner if they had been called upon to
pass upon the case Of a colored boy ar
raigned for killing a daughter of Gen
eral Flagler, nor is it likely that the
warden and matron of the city prison
would have received him with great
courtesy" and entertained him in the
reception room as they would dis
tinguished guest. The law should not
or its officers encourage
any such distinctions ON account Of
rank, wealth or color.

Not very long ago Emperor Menelek,
of Abyssinia, appealed to the powers"
for their intervention to bring about
the arbitration of his difficulty with
Italy. If the appeal had been needed
Italy would not now be mourning the
fate of thousands Of her soldiers slaught-
cred like rats in a trap in the noun
tain passes leading to AdOwa, the capt.
tai of the province of Tigre Abyssinia
is the most ancient Christian kingdom
on the globe, though its Christianity
is of such notified kind that it is
doubtful if the Apostles themselves
could reconize it without some eXplana-
tions. 1t is sadly mixed with super
stition and Judaism, and priests,
monks and nuns are regarded with
great awe and reverence, while the
peoples worship of innumerable saints,
and chief of all the Virgin, is hardly
second to that for the Almighty him
self. The Abyssinians are rude and
barbarous and they have the warlike
instinct common to all the races that
inhabit the mountainous districts and
elevated plateaus of northern and east
ern Africa and western Asia. The or
gained appetite for conquest, which
seems to pervade all the 'powers" of
Europe, may result in the ultimate
overthrow OF Menelek's dominion but
if it does it will be at greater sacrifice
OF blood and treasure than the whole
wild, isolated and barbaric region is
worth.
Until 1889 Menelek was King of Shoa,
a vassal OF Johannis II or Giovanni, EN-
peror of Ahyssinia. He raised an army
to fight against the Emperor. Johannis
prepared 10 oppose him, but his attention
WAS taken by an invasion of his territory
by the fanaticaI Soudanese dervishes or
Mahdists. In March 1899, Johannis was
slain in battle with the Mahdists and
Menelek claimed the imperial throne and
confirmed his claim by force of arms.
The Italians assisted him in his bloody
march tn the imperial throne and to the
title of Negus Negusti, liking of Kings},
ami there entered into treaty with him
by which an Italian protactorate was es-
tablished over all of Ethiopia. Italy first
obtained = foothoid in the country by OBJ
timing, III 1870, 4 concession for a naval
station thirty-six miles long by two to
six miles wide at Assab. Menelek has
constantly been FESTIVE under the pro-
tactorate. and the Italians assert that he
has frequently violated treaty obligations
