TROOPS AT JACKSONVILLE.
Governor Jennings Decides Not to
withdraw Them for m While

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May l2-Gov-
ernor Jennings arrived from Tallahassee
yesterday to personally inspect the stu
alton in this city. He was accompanied
by a committee from the Legislature
which on Monday will report on the con-
ditions as they found them. The Execu-
tive Committee of the Relief Association
assured the Governor that the withdrawal
of the State troops would mean a reign
of anarchy in the city, and therefore the
militia will be kept here for some weeks
longer. The Legislative Committee will
of Jacksonville the question of land
titles to receive particular attention. All
the county and city records were de-
stroyed in the fire. 1t is also probable
that action will be taken deferring the
city election, which was to have occurred
next month.
After a delay of thirty hours the relief
train from the New York Chamber of
Commerce pulled into the city yesterday
morning at IL o'clock. Congestion of
freight on the tracks from the North
caused the delay. The train came in just
in time to obviate the necessity of pur-
chasing supplies.
The payroll for the week of those en-
pIoyed by the Relief Association to clear
up the streets and ruins of city buildings
amounted TO 81 500. Many more men can
be employed next week, when picks.
shovels and wbeelbarrows arrive, but 1t
is doubtful If the idlers will work even
though beginning tomorrow, the free
food distribution is cut down. 1t is feared
that serious trouble will occur when COM
puisory labor is enforced.

1t is possible, however, that President
Mckinley will authorize General Mac
Arthur to exercise a power of COM

owing to the effect that a prompt con-

A HUGE DRY DOCK OPENED.
Three Big Steamers on the Blocks at
Newport News.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va. May 12.-The
mammoth new drydock was opened yes

by three steamers. the Louise, 1I3 feet in
length; the Olivette, 74.3 feet. and the
Miami. 1892 feet. The work of filling the
dock was commenced at o'clock yester-
day morning and was completed at .
O'Clock.
The three vessels were towed in the
immense basin, and before 10 clock the
dock was being pumped dry Shortly
after II o'clock the vessels were on the
blocks. clear of water and ready for the
workmen. There is still room for another
small steamer.

RARE PAN-AMERIcAN STAMPS.
Some With Inverted Centres Sold Mt
Fifteen Dollars Each.

NEW YORK. May 12.-At least one
sheet of the 2-cent Pan-American postage
stamps has been found with inverted CEN
tre-something that occurs occasionally
when stamp is printed in two colors-
The person who obtained the freak sheet
made the rounds of local stamp dealers
yesterday Offering to sell the stamps for
the modest sum of S15 each. One dealer
was told by him that thirty had been sold
at that rate, but that the others could go
at the rate of four for $50. Whatever
sales were effected were to collectors. as
the dealers refuse to buy such oddities
until they have ascertained how many
there are in existence. AS one dealer said
today, there may he thousands. and the
value naturally depends on the relative
scarcity. If only a half dozen sheets We're
misprinted, the price demanded would not
be deemed excessive.
The last time such an inversion was
found on United States stamps was in
the case of the two-colored revenues is
sued about twenty-five years ago; they
were few in number and some are sold
now at SIS each.

| others toward the one who does the
work. which makes the disgrace felt. II
is the old problem of evolution over
| again. Theology rested on the assump-
ton that each animal existed to per-
form a certain function; evolution as
serts that he exists because he can per-
form that function. The cat does not
live for the purpose of catching mice;
obviously there are too many cats now
for that job; she lives because she can
catch mice. The general attitude to-
ward the waiter. the barber, the valet.
the cook, is that he has been evolved
for the purpose of doing his work, and
that that is his only excuse for being;
and If this be true. he is perhaps an in
ferior being. But if his work is a
means to an end, and not all there is of
him, if he lives because he can do that
work better than anybody else, because
he is able to do something that other
people cannot do, he knows something
of the dignity of labor, because others
are dependent on him.. In a new coun-
try, all this counts; and that is why a
new country is likely to be democratic
