Shanghai, Sept. 3.-Serious trouble
has occurred in the Kaio Chou, Hinter-
land, between the Germans and Chi

A SUNKEN CITY.

In the beautiful harbor of Kingston,
Jamaica, a few fathoms under water,
sleeps the sunken city of Port Royal,
which was destroyed By an earthquake
in 1892. On a cloudless, still day,
when the surface of the sea is perfect
ly smooth, the ruins of the phantom
city may be plainly seen in the depths
of the transparent water.

The spire of the old cathedral is the
most prominent object. In the clear
water you can see the fishes lazily
swimming in and out among the ruined
turrets, more suggestive of owls and
bats than of the finny inhabitants of
the sea. Occasionally glimpses can be
had of the ruins of other buildings
buildings which for more than two CEN
turtles have kept their CHASTITY secrets

Down there, in that peaceful depth,
lie the bones Of three thousand men,
women and children, carried down into
the sea with their homes on that awful
June day in 1892. An earthquake, sud
denly and without warning, smote the
profligate city of Port Royal, which
sid into the sea- The waters opened
and swallowed 1t up, and there, beneath
the silent waves. was hidden the wick
edness and debauchery Of a community
described by historians as being almost
without parallel.
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1899-09-21

The city of Port Royal was original
ly built upon a narrow strip of land
extending out into the sea, which ac-
counts for its strange disappearance
at the time of the earthquake. Like
the house Of the foolshman Of Biblical
lore, which was builded upon the sand,
1t literally slid into the water when
the earthquake shock came.

Buccaneering and piracy were rec
ognized industries. The treasure ships
of Spain were legitimate prey. The
riches of Mexico and Peru were levied
upon, and the people of Jamaica were
literally rolling in wealth and splendor.
Vice and debauchery held sway, Bac-
chanalian revels which might put to
shame the jewellers in the Orient were
of nightly occurrence. There was no
virtue.

Previous to that fateful 7th day of
June, 1892, Port Royal had been known
as "the finest town in the West Indies,
and the richest spot in the world" It
was, as it now is, British colony, but
there was little either in its govern
ment or its customs Of British moral
ity We are told that it was a place
of luxurious debauchery; that in their
excuses the colonists rivaled the prof
ligates of ancient Rome.
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1899-09-21

After the earthquake the town was
rebuilt, only to be completely destroy
ed by fire in 1903. On August 20, 1922,
it was swept into the sea by a hurri-
cane. 1t was once more reconstructed,
but again, in 1915, 1t was reduced to
ashes, and as recently as 1880 it was
visited by another hurricane. Every
disaster was attended by great loss of
life.

TONIC FOR THE TIRED.

Watch the faces as they go by you
on q crowded street and just notice
what tired look many Of them wear.
If we could read all the hearts around
us, we would find multitudes who are
weary in spirit and sometimes sigh for
q pillow in the grave. Some are tired
out with life's hard struggles-with
bearing the heat and burden Of the
day. Others persist in piling VI anx
ieties as high as an old fashioned ped
dler's pack. They carry a huge load
OF care es to how they shall make both
ends meet and how they shall provide
for ali the hungry mouths and scanty
wsrdrohes. One is tired from trying
to do too much and another Of waiting
for something to do. A grievous bur
den of spiritual dependency makes
Brother Smallfaith's heart ache and
puts an extra wrinkle on Sister Weak
backs countenance. Here is q disci-
pie who is tired of waiting for success.
and there is another who is tired of
waiting for answers to prayer.
Do you suppose that the dear mas
Ter does not see all those tired bodies
and exhausted nerves and weary
heartsR To those who are honestly run
down with honest toll he says: Come
ye apart into a qliet place and rest
awhile" God puts a night Of sleep
after every day of work for this very
purpose of recruiting lost force. To
Christians with small purses He kindly
says: Your life consists not in the
abundance of the things ye possess.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried
in the fire, that thou mayst 0e rich.
Ny grace is sufi 3ient for thee; at my
right hand are treasures fortvermore

THE BRANDRETH TRANSFER TAX.
Appraisement Of Porous Plaster Stock Mt
SEQ, 900 a Share Upheld.

WHITE PLAINS. n u. June 30.-Surrogate
Sikman handed down decision to-day in the
appeal from the decree OF the Court in the case
OF the estate OF the late George A. Brandrcth
OF Sing Sing. in which he confirms the report
OF the appraiser on the transfer tax. Previous
to his death Mr. Brandreth transferred to his
four daughters eleven shares OF stock OF the
porous plaster company. At the time of the
transfer the daughters executed power
Of attorney to their father which stated
that tho transfer was made upon condition
that he was to receive all divdcuds declared
upon said stock for his life. the same as il the
transfer had not been made Shortly aitcrward
Mr. Brandreth and other members OF the fam
lily entered into an agreement whereby the
porous plaster company was transferred to
three trustees. the object being to prevent the
control OF the corporation from going outside
OF the Brandreth family.
After the death of Mr.. Brandreth the stock
which was transferred to his daughters was
held to be taxable and the appraiser valued
the shares at $4,000 each. The executors
contested the legality OF the tax and questioned
the value Of the stock Surrogate Sikman up"
holds the appraiser and cites in his decision
that only one share OF the stock had been sold.
The sale took place in 1872 md the share
brought $4,000. The appraiser based the
value upon the earning capacity Of the corpo-
ration and nxed the value Of shares at $50. 600
each The Surrogate says he found that the
appraiser made no error in assessing the tax
