truly magnificent performance equalled
the record.
As in the other mile. IA runner was
sent on ahead to encourage Dan Patch
to do his best. No time was lost in
scoring. and Miron McHenry nodded
the first time down for the wire and a
hundred watches caught the start. The
PAGER had his stride from the word and
there was not a skip for the whole mile.
It was 20l4 to the quarter, and an
eighth further on the horse had round

in that London suburb in order to be near
his old friends. Besides, his wife was
young and objected to be buried In the

The Church Towers of italy.
I'm the London Traveller

NIoui Lonuon traveller.
The destruction Of the famous Campan,le
OF Venice has attracted a good deal OF
attention to the numerous campanili which
form so marked an architectural feature OF
Italy and the south. The name OF course
Is derived from the Latin campana, a bell,
so the word campanile means a belfry.
Very often. as In the case of Venice of the
famous belfry OF Bruges, and the hardly
less famous Giralda Tower of Seville, this
beafry is entirely detached from the church.
The Italian campanili are very slender In
proportion to their height, and built with
out buttresses. Usually the walls in the
lower part Of the tower are built solidly,
or only pierced by one or two windows,

increases in elaboration toward the sum-

lightness and grace. There are two or
three fine old brick campanili in Rome; for
instance, those belonging to the Church OF
San Giovanni Paolo, Sta. Maria, In Co.'S
medin. and Sta. Cecilia in Trastevere.
Ghottos Tower is the most beautiful of the
Italian bell towers, and is enriched with
inlaid marble. The Campanile of Pisa,
usually called the Leaning Tower, is re.

Written for The Evening Star

Written for The Evening Star.
A great host of travellers are making
their way south; a hugh army welcomed
by the best and most discerning entertain
ment untroubled with baggage or time ia
bles. They aren't millionaires disportng
themselves in private cars. They are much
more important to the worlds enjoyment
just birds. Everybody in northern habi-
tudes sees them go and sends a farewell
after them, but few concern themselves
with the destination to which they wing
their energetic way. But bird lovers know
all these things and send a sympathetic
thought to other friends of birds to whom
the winter means the coming, not the go
ing, of the melodious tribe.
The migration in the autumn is simply a
matter of necessity, for food supply, and Is
much more soberly undertaken than the
spring migration. Then they start joyousIy
with their new clothes all spick and span
and with their songs in their throats Like
true gentlemen the heads of families start
ten days in advance of their wives.
In protected places in the eastern and
middle states a few birds may be seen all
winter, but they are rare, except the junco,
chickadee, or ttmouse, and nuthatch.
AS the birds which summer in Canada and
the north woods start on their migra ton to
South America great variety of transient
birds may be seen in points between remain

The rain pelted down in torrents as

generally happens to the unlucky doctor
that calls are made upon him in the most
inclement weather, found, on returning to

She was fussy old person who believed

o'clock that smoked my final pipe, drained

lions of my well beloved.
Just before turning in my man brought
me telegram from Sir Bernard, dispatched
from Brighton, regarding a case to be seen

Telegraphic Postage.

From the London Chronicle.
The idea that letter placed in a suitar
BILE receptacle could be conveyed by cleo
tricity at a rate well-night comparable to
that of the express trains seems to have
struck an Italian experimenter, Piscicelu
by name. The nearest approach to the sys-
tenn is that of 'telepherage" but here the
rate of progression Is, of course, relatively
slow. In the case of the Piscicelu system
1t Is intended that the letters should be
conveyed in boxes composed of aluminium
along wires arranged on the overhead sys-
tenn analogous to that seen in the tramways
of many towns Experiments are to be
made with the system between Rome and
Naples, but there are so many very OBJ
vious difficulties in the way of the scheme
becoming generally useful that we may
await the results of these experiments be-
fore hailing the invention as a benefit to
mankind at large.

The consulting room in Harley street
where Sir Bernard Eyton saw his patients
and gathered in his guineas for his iH-scrib-
bled prescriptions differed little from a
hundred others in the same severe and de-
pressing thoroughfare.
1t was a somber apartment. The walls
were painted dark green and hung with two
or three old portraits in oils, the furniture
was of a style long past, heavy and covered
in brown morocco, and the big writing ia
bic, behind which the great doctor would
sit blinking at his patient through the cir

somewhat Teutonic appearance, was noted

OUR LUCK.

We have suffered depression on the
is at hand. But whatever depression
we may have felt we have not suffered
as the West Indies have suffered. We
have not become utterly poverty strick-
en-, nor has our chief industry been
stricken almost to extinction. This
however has been the case among those
islands which at one time were regard
ed as being the richest in the world.
So very near ruin have the West
Indian colonies been, that nothing has
saved the planters but state aid. The
Imperial government was applied to for
a loan, which was forthcoming, and
was distributed pro rata among the
plantations, and the local treasures,
have also made advances. In this way
the trouble has been tided over, and
the cane sugar industry has been saved
for a time.
According to the later kilograms the
prospects of Jamaica, at least, are i'm
proving, due chiefly to the fruit tlade
with the United States. OF course the
steady condition of the sugar market is
having it's effect upon the sugar indus
try, What is true of Jamaica, which is
the third island in size among the West
Indian islands, is true OF Trinidad, Bar
BADGES and other of the British posses
sions
At.our lowest notch of depression we
have always had our sugar practically
under the protective tariff of the United
States. The Reciprocity treaty gave
us this. and we used justly to tremble
lest it should be lost Annexation as
sured us of the protection. The British
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-11-15

West Indies had no such protection.
The United States market was and is
closed to them by an impenetrable
wall Their own market in England
was open to the free competition of
the bounty fed beet sugar of Continen-
tai Europe.
The advantages of sound commercial
policy to which allusion was made yes
terday, when discussing the Republican
victory is as plainly shown by the case
of the West Indies, as it was by the
illustration taken from the Balkan
Peninsula. The advantages of climate,
the advantages of an eXuberant soil
and the advantages of cheap labor, can
not overcome the disadvantages of a
mistaken commercial policy, and plan
of government unsuited to the condi-
lions existing, In nothing more than
in this can these Islands be congratu-
lated. We have passed through a
seve"s commercial crisis, but We have
been saved from the nearly utter rum
which has been the fate of the unfor-
tunate West Indian planter.
