American citizen named Archer unless
the British Government guarantees not
to inf1ict capital punishment, to which
the Government cannot accede, thus
closing the case so far as Jamaica is
concerned.
Early in 1897 and American named
Post Harding Archer arrived in Jamaica
for the purpose of taking up land and
engaging in fruit cultivation. To all
appearances he possessed considerable
means, both in ready money and per-
sonal effects. Archer secured q prop
erty known as Elervale, in the parish
of Portland, most valuable place for
his purpose, situated on the very out
skirts of civilization and reached by
road that led no farther. AS a COM
panion and partner in his venture,
Archer secured the services of ia
maican named Rutherford.
On October %, 1897, the body of
Archer was found in an unfrequented
spot in pool of blood. The body
showed two pistol-shot wounds, one
through the brain and one through the
heart. There was no weapon found,
and the flannel undershirt, shirt and
coat were buttoned up and found to he
unperforated by the bullet that entered
the heart.
The body also lay face downward on
was not bruised. The effects Of the
deceased were found to have been
stolen.
the district, after delay of a weak,
sat 80 tos5 l. ,;41,
they went before the Coroner's jury.
The Coroner. who was the resident
magistrate, refused to allow such ver-
dict on the evidence and the recorded
verdict was that 1.-The deceased came
to his death from the effects of two pis-
tol shots, but by whom discharged does
not appear from the evidence. The cir
cumstances surrounding the death of
the deceased are SO suspicious we
should suggest that the police be IN
structed to institute further vigilant in
vestigation."
In January. 1898, the Government
formally notified the United States
Consul that Archer had committed sui
eide. Meanwhile Mr.. Elworthy had
kept up lively correspondence with
the Colonial Secretary, pointing out
the crimial negligence and incapacity
of the people. but his representations
had no effect.
Early in the present year there was
shuff1ing of police and one result was
the transfer to Portland of one of the
shrewdest and most active inspectors
on the force, Inspector Mcleod.
In the interim Mr.. Elworthy, JUS
tice of the Peace and friend of Archer,
had quietly been carrying on a private
investigation with a view to the ulti-
mate clearing of the memory Of his
friend from stain of suicide and TO
bring the murderer to justice He
placed the results in the hands Of Nc
Leod and, after considering them, that
officer united with Mr.. Elworthy in
urging the Government to order a re-
opening of the inquiry.
This was done. Rutherford, who,
Immediately after the holding of the in
quest, disappeared from the island, was
located in Costa Rica, where he was ar
rested on an extradition warrant from
the Jamaican Government.

Mr. Shreve is the young est man ever elected to the office of Grand Master Workman. He is able and energetic, and is devoted to the principles of the order, and under his administration the order in this juris- diction will no doubt increase its

Work in Forest Preservation.

A National Bureau of Forestry is destined to be one of the most inn portant branches of the government. Practical foresters in the United States are scarce. In fact about the only ones are the lumbermen, and their forest training is all in one line. The forester of the department of agri- culture, Mr. Clifford Pinchot, is arrang- ing to take forestry class with him into the forests Of the far west for the purpose of studying forest preservation. Their expenses will be paid by the government and they will be utilized by him as assistants, at the same time receiving practical instruction in lines of work for which there is sure to be a demand in this country as the question of practical forestry comes more and more to the front and the need of forest preservation is realized.
