LYING ABOUT JAMAICA.
The Persistent INSTRUMENTATION of
the Island In Some 81 Our Amer
lean Newspaper.

The authorities OF Jamaica have been
greatly disturbed by alleged news,
printed in this county Some Of these
items, says the New York sun, have re-
ported that n 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 a most u~nfavorable impression
in regard TO its. condition.
Colonial Secretary Evans, therefore,
wrote to Vice Consul Springer calling
attention tothese statements
and asked him If he could assist the
jamaican government to put n stop to
such continued misrepresentation, or
ut least to counterfeit their injurious
influence. lie 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 u state department
and they have just appeared In our con.
sular reports. Somebody seems to be
interested in libeling Jamaica, and has
found n medium in this country for the
PRONUNCIATION of his fa~lsehoods.

All About His Exciting
Adventures.

"What kind of q time are you having
this summer, Jimmy"
"Oh, out of sight! The family all
away. Father was the last to 90. He
went north on business and left me to
take care of the house. Oh, yes, I'm
strong on that, you know. Haven't
been there since he left. That makes
me think I'd better go around tonight
he's due to-day"
James was right. His father had re-
turned and was sitting on the porch
smoking n cigar when his son arrived,
says the Detroit Free Press.
well, how have you been getting
along for the last week." inquired the
father.
"Oh, very well, considering" said
James, assuming the confident air of
the mar who has done his duty, "a few
accidents about the house, but | fixed
them all right"
"Yes?"
"Nes-had the burglars one night.
Lucky thing 1 was here they might
have stolen half the house, And the
gas pipe sprung 4 leak, too. But | dis
covered that in time. And the rats.
Why, we'd have been overrun with 'em
III hadn't been here to clean them OUT"
"Hm! that's strange" said his father.
II haven't heard any burglars, nor
smelled any gas, nor heard any rats,
and I've been here all the week. You
know, ] didn't take that business trip
after ALL"

DEWEY AS A BOY.
The Admiral Invariably Took sides
with tbs Weak and the
Bullied.

As a boy George Dewey was alert,
bright and vivacious. He was not a
hard student. He was often mischiey-
Gus, but never malicious, says one Of
his biographers. lie was fond Of all
outdoor sports. and was not ayerse to a
fist fight when he considered that he
was in the right. But he never pitched
into a lad smaller than himself. He
was always on the side OF the weak
against the bully. Mary Dewey, his
sister, was his frequent companion in
the milder amusements OF his early
boyhood. She remembers that he was
always chivalrous and kindly to her
and the other girls. She has said that
even ms n child he was never afraid OF
the dark.
"When his sister emphasized this
characteristic" says Mr.. Barrett, who
tells the story. 81 thought Of the dark
nightwhen he took thelead on thcOlym-
pia and sailed into Manila bay past Cor
regidor, without fear or hesitation"
During bis first year at Annapolis
Dewey did not hold any high rank. lie
was not exactly lndolent, but he was so
engrossed with the pleasures of stu.
dent life and its good comradeship that
he had little time left for ~plodding. lie
took in good part, however, a letter
from his father urging on him more
o~ssiduity TO study, and, as n result
when graduation day came he was
third 10 his class. with Howell and
Reed respectively first and secoud.

Arizona seeks statebood.

Arizona people believe that the cen.
sus OF 1900 will show n sufficient popu-
iation to warrant the admission of the
territory TO the union. Arizona had
$3.50 inhabitants in 1890, and the claim
is made that the territory has doubled
in population since then. Increased
activity in mining aud the development
OF copper and gold mines is respon-
sible for the Increase, Yet, even il
Arizona should have as many as l2O,-
o inhabitants next year, it would still
lack $4,000 of the ratio of representa-
ton adopted in ls93. New Mexico,
which is yet a territory, has more than
twice as many inhabitants us Arizona.
