A shower of Ants

A correspondent describes remarka-
BILE phenomenon witnessed in Jerusa-
lem at the beginning of July. A swarm
of flying ants settled upon the city and
filled the air from sunrise until nine
o'clock. Visitors to the IIcly Sepulcher
were obliged to use their handllerchiefs
constantly in order to keep the insects
out of their eyes and nostri.. The ma
tives asserted that this extraordinary
fight of ants was the precursor Of in
earthquake. Whether there was any
real connection between the two phe
pomona or not, as matter of fact two
slight shocks of earthquake were felt
in Jerusalem on the evening of the same
day Cosmos.

The English Administration in jamaica

The English Administration in Jamaica
The English administration of Ju-
maica is thing to be thankful for;
there are law and order, excellent roads,
comfortable houses, adequate police,
lawn tennis and cricket. plenty of man
ly, compamionable English army and
navy officers and a governor who is
strong, able and genial. At the same
time it would be folly to maintain that
the island is producing a tenth Part Of
the wealth that is latent in soil and at
mosphere, or that most of the wealth
that is beginning 10 make its appear
ance is due to anything so much as to
the American enterprise and capital
which are opening up railways and
cultivating fruits. Another serious
fact, though not unnecessarily an un-
welcome one, is that the islands 1000
square miles contain a population Of
100000 persons, $4,000 of whom are
white.-Julian Hawthorne, in Century.

while the curtain was down.
Nonsense! They are merely en-
gagged" said the girl in the black gown.
81 heard him tell her that he did not
consider the leading lady even pretty"
perhaps they are merely brother
and sister," suggested the young man
of the party.
"No, they weren't" said the girl in
the Partisan waist. He'd have gone
out between the acts if he were only
her brother, while an engaged man
wouldn't want to leave her, and"
"a newly married man wouldn't dare
to-" broke IN the girl in the black gown.
''She took off her hat as soon as she
came in," remarked the young man.
"That looks as if she were married and
in the habit of consulting the feelings
OF some Cne else.
"Or that they were not really en-
gagged yet and she wanted to show him
how considerate she could be-" said the
girl IN the black gown.
"Or that she was merely conscious of
having pretty hair said the girl in the
Parisian waist. "Will you wager box

It'd rather you ladies would settle
it between you," said the young man,
hastily. 'You have 50 rauch more in
sight in such matters, you know"
There they come no,N," said the girl
in the Partisan waist. "Iet lis notice
what they do, and perhaps we can de-
eide. If they are merely friends they
will stop for cream and soda, and"
''If they are engaged she will tell him
how hungry she is, and they will stop
for supper" said the young man, bit
terly.
"While, if they are married." went
on the girl in the Parisian waist, "he---
what did l tell you?"
The couple paused before a cigar
store, and he went III while she waited
at the door.
"You were right" said the girl in the
black gown; "they are married.

While Joaquin Miller was walking
along the streets in Seattle recently
man approached him, and, without say
ing word, lifted the poets beard and
examined the right side of his neck.
Then he remarked: "Yes, you are Joa-
quin Miller" Naturally, the man
was asked to explains this singular be-
havior, whereupon he said that 40-odd
years ago he had pulled a poisoned al
row from Miller's neck, and with his lips
wound. The poet remembered the oc-

Effects of Tobacco.

N. Lyon, an eminent French ply
sician, has recently published in the
Union Medicale an account of careful
researches which he has carried out re-
specting the effects of tobacco upon
the stomach. He finds that tobacco
lessons the contractility of the muscles
which partly compose the walls of the
stomach, thus producing indigestion
and dilatation. This is an important
addition to the charges which medical
men have brought against tobacco

COAL PRICES WILL STICK
No Reduction Likely in Washington
This Winter.
Lower Rates Of Transportation at
HagerstOwn without Effect
in This City.

Tie consumers OF coal, who have been
hoping against hope for decrease in the
price of that article of domestic economy
thus winter, are doomed TO disappointment.
Report has reached the city Of a material
decrease in coal transportation rates at
Haeerstown, and a consequent lowering OF
the retail cost of the fuel in that vicinity.
1t WAS hoped that the spirit OF heneficenoc
manifested an the Cumberland valley would
spread to this city, but an interview with
several prominent coal dealers dispels that
idea.
Tne local retailers OF coal are unanimous
in the opinion that the Hagerstown reduc-
ton is a matter affecting only that locality,
and cannot be considered as having posi-
bic effect upon the prices in this city
1t is conceded that a reduction is not an
impossibility, owing to the fact that coal
shippers have an eccentric habit Of spring
Ing a rise or reduction of coal prices unex-
peCtedly upon an unsuspecting public, but
SO far as local dealers have been advised, no
movement is stirring looking TO a lowering
of values
With reference to the matter, Mr.. Y
Baldwin Johnson, vice president Of the
local association of coal dealers, was seen
by q Times reporter last night.
Most of the coal entering the city" said
Mr.. johnson, lis handled by the Phia-
delphia and Reading Railroad Company
and connecting roads. The initiative in the
matter OF reduction Of the cost OF coal
would naturally be taken by the railroad,
and the shippers would then take proportion
ate steps 10 meet the decrease 10y lowering
the cost 60 retail dealers who, in turn,
would make a like Cutin favor Of consumers
No inuiCalions Of lowering OF values
have reached the city, and it is highly inn
probable that "A reduction viii be made.
of course every year, about the middle of
March. the price Of coal is lcssencd, owing
TO the near approach of summer. The
rates Of transportation are not al the time
perceptihiy decreased, and il is owing TO
a desire on the part Of the roads FOR a
maintenance of the usual rates that lends
color TO the belief that no reduction of coal
