LYING ABOUT JAMAICA.
The Persistent tiOn Of
the Island in Some of Oar Amer
lean Newspapers.

The authorities of Jamaica have been
greatly disturbed by alleged news,
printed in this country. Some OF these
items, says the New York Sun, have re-
ported that severe drought has caused
widespread distress; that the coffee,
orange and corn crops have been de-
stroyed and famine impends; that the
starving country people are fleeing into
the towns; that the use of putrid water
has caused an outbreak of typhoid ma
larial fever, and so on. These state
ments were all very inaccurate and
some of them entirely false, and were
calculated to injure the island by pro-
ducing Il most unfavorable impression
in regard to its condition.
Colonial Secretary Evans, therefore,
wrote to Vice Consul Springer calling
attention to these erroneous statements
and asked him If he could assist the
jamaican government to put stop to
such continued Misrepresentation, or
at least to counteract their injurious
influence. He said they were already
doing much mischief to the colony.
The vice consul accordingly sent
specimens of these falsehoods, together
with the letter which Mr.. Evans had
written to him, to our state department
and they have just appeared in our con-
sular reports. Somebody seems to be
interested in libelng Jamaica, and has
found a medium in this country for the
PRONUNCIATION of his falsehoods.

A Model Fruit Farm.

Northeastern Vermont Is not a 10.
cality one would naturally choose to
start in the fruit growing business on
account of the severe winters and eX-
posed character of the country, yet on
the high table land of Derby within a
few miles of the Canada line is to be
be found one of the best appointed
and most thrifty growing orchards to
be found in the state. The guiding
genius of this most beautiful farm IS
no other than DIR. Il. ii. Hoskins, SO
we'll and favorably known throughout
Vermont. No other than the most
thorough knowledge of fruit culture
coupled with indOmitable persever-
ance could have accomplished under
such unfavorable circumstances, what
DR.. Hoskns has accomplished.
1t was my privilege to meet the
doctor some years ago, when he was
just stocking his present orchards,
and to learn from him something of
the difficulties to be overcome in grow
ing good, salable fruit in Orleans
county. 1t had always been consid-
cred too cold and bleak to grow apples
successfully in that part of the state
until DR.. HoSkinS came to Newport

"TolI Gate Inn," A Great Success.

1t is safe to say that in the coming
production of "Toll Gate Inn, )" the &C =
lonial love romance founded ON the bat
tie of Bennington, which is to be seen
at the new opera house next Wednes-
day evening, we are to have one of the
finest attractions ever seen in this part
of the country. Last Saturdays Press
and Knickerbocker of Albany, N. v,
speaks of the production as follows:
"The Toll Gate Inn was presented
at the Empire last night. Much has
been said in praise Of the play in a
preliminary way, and last nights pro-
duction proved that it had not been
over-rated. 1t is one Of the few plays
based on an epoch in American his
tory, that is destined to rise above
mediocre.
There is a charm about the colo
NAL costumes and Revolutionary uni
forms mingled with the rustic pic
lures in the various scenes that wins
the audience almost from the time the
curtain rises. The settings are of a
high grade and the climaXes arranged
to satisfy the most fastidious critic of
the drama.
Miss Victory Bateman is most clever
and forceful in the star role of the
play. She is of the magnetic school
of players and does not need any artl-
fetal clap-tap to win applause such
as was most generously bestowed upon
her last night. The company with
her is a most excellent one. 10 indl-
vidualize is unnecessary, every men,
Der of the talented collection of play
ers being an artist. The play was en-
ceedingly well received and will be re-
peated this afternoon and tonight"
Manager Lapoint has decided to put
the seats on sale at once, owing to the
fact that so many calls have been made
for them during the past few days.

Rumors of war.

1t takes armies to make war.
1t takes farmers to feed the armies.

Where there's a will there's a way

Apples are reported plenty in New

While you are fixing up your barns
for the comfort of your cattle don t
forget to give your wife a few dollars

take better care of their stock than
they do of their families.
Now is the time to weed out the
scrub COWS from your herds. There
are lots of farmers who have COWS
that are running them in debt.
Bounce them before they run up big
board bill on you.
Patronize home industries. 1t is a
failing with many to send off for what
could be bought at home markets for
the same money. The large city
stores send goods by mail and express
into every town in the country, but
their goods are 50 frequently dis
appointing.
Who carries the purse in your
house? OF course, it is nobody'S bust
ness but your own, but have gener-
ally noticed that where the women
folks had the handling of the money
that it went farther than when the
man did the buying entirely alone.
The average woman can make a dollar
90 further than man can. That is,
farmers wives can; am not so sure
about city bred women who have got
their education at cooking school.
The papers are again discussing the
disadvantages of meat diet. There
are times when agree with them.
For instance, when the pork barrel is
empty, the hen roost deserted and our
credit low with the butcher. 1t
makes a difference, you know. What
is one mans need is another man S
poison, SO there it is. Strong meat
for the laboring man, cereals and fruit
for those of sedentary habits, then
both are satisfied.
