Americas First
Christmas Day
By A. w. FERRIN

Copyright, 1901. by A. W. Ferria-;
IN Christmas eve four centuries
~ and twelve years ago the flag
ship of the great Admiral Chris
TOPPER Columbus was wrecked of the
coast of Haiti after two months of sail
ing through the beautiful channels Of
those West Indian islands which the
explorer thought the pickets of Cipan-
20. the country of the great khan. Of
which the travellers of Venice had told
the glowing tales which led the little
feet of caravels on its eventful voy-
age. Only four or five miles away lay
The court of King Guacanagari. the In
dian potentate whose messengers had
welcomed Columbus with priceless
gifts and whom the admiral believed
could be none other than the khan him
self.
Near midnight. weary with watching,
Columbus had retired to his cabin. eau

done. The Nina, the smallest vessel of
the fleet. came to the assistance of the
flagship. but could not pull her off.
There was nothing left but an appeal
to the savage monarch at GuaricO.
Guacanagari sent out a fiotilla of ca
noes, and SO Jealous and industrious
were his Indian subjects that every
article on the ill fated ship was soon
carried ashore. the vessel itself dis
mantled and the wreckage carried to
Guarico.
Thus it came about that Columbus,
perforce, celebrated the first Christ
mas ever observed in the new world as
the guest of an Indian king. Guacana-
gari received the Spaniards with the
deepest sympathy, even shedding tears
over their miSfOrtuneS and placing all
his possessions at their disposal. He
ordered prepared n great feast of na-
tive roots, caSsava bread, maize, fish
from the sea and game from the woods
and 50 graciously entertained them
that for the day they forgot they We're
1000 miles from home.
After feeding the castaways with the
best they had the willing natives, at
their kings command. brought gold
and gave it to the Spaniards. A week
later. on New Years day, Columbus
gave return banquet to the Indian
king, and then. having built fort
with the aid of the natives and left
therein n garrison to hold it against
his return. he and the greater part of
his men boarded the Nina and sailed
away.

prehistoric past! 1t is sad that history

The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1904-02-27
Pcnitentiary Has No Cash.

The Mississippi penitentiary is
dead broke.
Owing to the fact that the legis-
lature has not yet passed the pend
ing appropriation bill, the prison Of
fcials find themselves without any
cash to carry on the usual routine
work. The warden's expense account
has been depleted, the contingent
fund is exhausted, and even the trav-
cling sergeant finds himself without
the cash wherewith to carry prison
ers from the various county jails
to the convict farms. As a result
many prisoners who have recently
been given sentences are in the
county jails awaiting transportation,
and thus delaying the commence
ment of their sentences.
The secretary Of the board states
that he is without funds with which
to give the DISCHARGED convicts $40
each next hlvnth, and about $500
will he required for this purpose,
as the number discharged will be I'M
usually large. A short time ago the
board of control borrowed $500 from
one of the Jackson banks and this
has been expended to defray the or
binary running expenses.
1t is expected, however, that the
legislature will have the usual appro-
priation of 100000 per year avail
able for the penitentiary before the
end of the month.
