STEAMSHIP ALENE,

STEAMSHIP ALENE,
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Feb. 9, 1890
To the Mount Holly Nes0s:
There has always been a great fascina-
ton to me in connection with tropical
countries, their histories, their luxuri-
ant vegetation, their strange trees, fruits
and flowers, their own peculiar animal
life, and above all, their different types of
the human race.
1t reminds me of being at Trinidad four
years since, about the time Rudyard Kip
ling was publishing his wonderful jungle
stories We had taken the train from the
principal city of Trinidad to run ten or
twelve miles to a small town. The road
ran alongside and through what you could
easily imagine to be an actual East India
| Jungle; right into Coolie settlement,
| with its Hindoos, with their scant cloth
| ing, silver bangles around their ankles
and long silver pendants from their ears,
an exact reproduction, huts and all, OF a
village in Hindostan to-day.
But with reference to Jamaica, its actu-
alities, its probabilities and possibilities.
! Leaving New York, February 3, on the
steamer "Alene," of the Atlas line, we
had grand sail with a smooth sea until
off Cape Hatteras, when we ran into a
tremendous gale one whice tried mems
| lives (their stomachs also). The captain
| told me it was the worst he had expert,
enced for four years.
However, we all survived after the
greater part had been laid up in ordinary
I-or rather extraordinary two days
We then ran into regular summer weather.
running due south to Walling island, or
| San Salvador, the first land discovered by
Christopher Columbus, and still the first
objective point for all vessels in the West
India trade. Then on to Fortune island,
| off which the Atlas line lay to and take
on their stevedores for unloading and
loading their vessels at the different ports
at which they stop, leaving them of as
they come back, then ON to Kingston, ia
maica.
Kingston. the capital of Jamaica, GeS
on Kingston bay, one of the most beavl
full BAYS and one of the safest anchors
| in the West Indies. 1t is about 8
miles long, by one to one and half s,e.
wide. separated from the ocean by Il. q nal
isades, narrow strip of land or beach,
lined with cocoanut palms the entire dis
lance.
At the entrance Of Kingston bay is Port
Royal, the greater part of which was en-
! quilted by tremendous earthquake SOO to
800 ca D. 1922 years ago.
Kingston reminds me more OF Mobile
than Of any other of our southern cities.
1t is a city of $4,000 inhabitants, well To-
Gated for drainage and other sanitary con-
ditions, an active business receiving and
distributing centre, and constantly in.
creasing commerce, the city of the West
Indies, good markets, well kept streets,
good and pure water supply drawn from
! two mountain streams. Trolley system OF
street railway and railroad connection
with other parts of the island.

Die down to the cause Of vour siekne

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
f you want to get well and stay well
Most likely it's indigestion. The irrita-
ting poisons of fermenting, putrid food,
left in the stomach by indigestion, cause
headache, neuralgia, nervousness dizzi
ness, stomachache, nausea, irritability
and all the other well-known symptoms
of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dis
orders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But al
soon as the poisons are removed, all these
symptoms and disorders disappear, be
cause there is nothing left to cause them
Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Di
gestive Cordial, because it prevents thu
undigested food from fermenting in thu
stomach and helps the stomach to diges
| its food.
Sold by druggists, price 10 cents t.

Major R. 81. Pratt, Sup't.
Sir: consider Mount Holly, N. j., a
very unsanitary place. A creek, which at
certain seasons becomes like river, runs
through the town, and it is always reek-
ing in filth. At Mrs. Branson's there are
four cesspools, one within % feet and
three within rs feet of the well. These
she owns herself and l did not examine
the neighbors'. While one girl is lying
at the point of death from this exposure,
to send others there would be criminal and
I cannot recommend such action.
Respectfully,

Only four book agents are doing

boards will see to it that the teachers
wages are raised ten dollars per month
this winter the teachers would buy
more of these useful books and thus
become better teachers.
Each Normal student was asked to
bring a list of the names of twenty
books which would be suitable for a

twenty-five dollars out of the treas

Ottawa Assembly.

The Chautauqua Assembly at OF
tawa promises to be of far greater in
terest this year than usual.
1t opens July 8 and closes July 10.
There will be an unusual array of fine
speakers and splendid attractions of
all kinds.
Hon. ]. P. Dolliver, of Iowa. and
Hon. Champ Clark, OF Missouri, will
discuss the question of Imperialism
from different standpoints. Many tai
ented men and women of national
reputation have been secured for lee
lures and instruction.
The grove was never in such au ex-
cellent condition, and never before
were such attractions offered. A week
spent at the Ottawa Assembly this
year will be delightful relief from
business and household cares and can
not fail to be profitable.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmOthers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
business. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis.
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower TO
clean out the system and stop fer
mentatiOn OF undigested food, regu-
late the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic actions OF the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses Of
Green's August Flower in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For

The next morning the wires OF
the Associated Press will sing with
the news. The newspapers will
hunt up their castaway cuts and the
foremen will wipe the dust from the
eyes, the hair and the corners of
the extravagant mouth, that the
people may look upon face famil-
lar to ridiculous history, The
Bungtown Weekly Bun will run the
wood cut rooster and the Fourth of
July cannon. The daily papers will
send bright reporters down to Lin
coin to visit the home of the candi-
date; to quiz his better half and
ascertain whether her shirt-waist is
pink or blue, and whether she
"takes an interest in politics." also,
to invoice his progeny and learn
whether they resemble their father.
And so we will again read of Mr..
Bryan; how he progressed at school;
how he played humble peg and fin
ger billiards and-O Temporal, O
mores.
And we predict, that after hot,
dry and dusty campaign-a cam
paign OF oratory and promise, cul-
in the second "battle,"
the voters of America will gently
lift a political corpse from the
couch on which it breath
ed its last, and, as the cold and
pitiless November winds come gam
boiling down from Manitoba, lay it
carefully away beneath the sod.
May we add hope to our predic-
ion, that sometime, while passing

md forgotten, a thoughtful tramp
will pause, and, signing, scribe this
egend:
As am industrially,
So was he politically.
