Of the United States sends to you and
your brave army the profound thanks
OF the American people for the bril-
liant achievements ut Santiago, result

Your splendid command has en-
dured not only the hardships and sac

has triuinphed over obstacles which
would have overcome men less brave
and determined. One and all have dis

and earned the gratitude of the nation.
The hearts of the people turn with ten
der sympathy to the sick and wound
ed. May the Father OF Mercies protect
and comfort them.

The parents OF the children who at
tended q school In Baltimore have
started an Investigation as to why their
children have been ailing. and why
they have not made satisfactory prog
ress in their school tasks. In one
building It was found that heat was
furniahed by stoves. and there was no
provision for ventilating except by
movable window sashes which caused
draughts and colds. Even in the newer
buildings heated by furnaces the con-
ditions were hardly better. The rooms.
too. were imperfectly lighted. badly
drained and seriously overcrowded. and
there were passageways around them
instead of schoolyards. Prof. Wood
bridge has launched q severe arraign-
ment against the persons responsible
for such school conditions as those
found in Baltimore. He says that II

ness and OF the values represented In

health and premature death. in retard-
ed educational development in pupils

Everything in Sight Is English.

Kingston. Jamaica, Oct. cit would be
hard to find another city which illustrates
more forcibly than this the oft-quoted
phrase. {" 'Tis distance lends enchantment
to the view" Spread out on its sloping
hillside. in the far recesses of a shining
lagoon. it is seen by the traveller on the
deck of an incoming steamer for hours
before the circuitous passage is traversed,
and all the time the untroubled blue of
sea and sky conspires with an impressive
background of mountains wreathed in
mists and clothed in changing colors, to
transfigure the old town into surprising
loveiiness. But, once ashore, the visitor
is speedily disenchanted. He finds an un-
picturesque little city, dull and shabby
to degree. with few trees and none of
the tropical vegetation which he has a
right TO expect in this latitude; Hide
signed buildings mostly of wood in vary
ing stages of dingyness and diIapidation
and narrow streets fouled by the slime of
open drains. Kingston has been many
times laid low by fires. hurricanes, and
earthquakes; and after each disaster has
been rebuilt in the same ramshackle in
artistic fashion. Less than twenty years
ago a great conf1gration swept the busi-
ness portion of the city and since then
three severe windstorns have wrought
additional havoc. The debris of either
has not been removed. and today one sees
everywhere new buildings of the most
commonplace architecture, set, hap-haz-
ard, among ruins.
Best System of WharveS.
One wonders if the saying, IAN empty
house is better than a bad tenant" did
not originate in Jamaica. At any rate.
here are n surprising number of unoc-
cupied houses-and the English law SAYS
that empty buildings are not taxed in
any way. tenants paying the water rates
and all assessments. The streets of
Kingston are poorly paved. If paved at
all, dimly lighted at night by gas in in
frequent lamps. and generally deep in
dust. Notwithstanding an Intellectual at
tempt to sprinkle them. Although our
English cousins have done badly by Ja-
maica in obiiterating so far as possible
its natural charm, and its capital does not

Danish islands. at least they are entitled
to credit for the best system of wharves
