The Maroons were the descendants
of African slaves. brought to Jamaica
by the S%paniards. During the conquest
Of Jamaica by the English the Ma
Rooms, deserted by their masters, fed
to the mountain Businesses, where they
lived a fierce. wild life. Increasing
daily In number by the many deserving
slaves, the Maroons soon became for
midable to their white neighbors, whom
they ~plundered and killed. In 1888 an
agreement was made which secured to
them an independence, which they
maintained for 140 years, but the Eng
fish finally determined to exterminate
them and for this purpose pursued
them barbarously with b~loodhounds.
Hemmed in on every side and hunted
down, they were compelled to submit,
and only 600 escaped, who were trans
ported to the bleak shores Of Nova SEQ
tia, where they persisted miserably.

where 1. the Soul Locateds

At different periods in history since
men first became imbued with the idea
that human beings were possessed of
souls various ideas have been adj
vanced as to the exact spot which that
intangible something claims as its
seat. Within the past thousand years
reputed authorities on psychology have
located it IN widely separated sections
Of the brain as well as in several Other
organs of the body, such as the heart,
liver, spleen and spinal cord. About
the year 1889 DIR. A. H. Stevens of
San Francisco gave the world his
views on the subject, declaring that he
believed ii to be situated In hat por
ton of the brain known to the anato
mists as the corpus callosum. More
than 1000 years before the speculative
philosopher above mentioned startled
the world with his announcement of
the discovery Of the souls seat it was
believed in Greece, Rome and Egypt
that it was located in the pineal gland
Of the brain. This gland is a little sac
containing calcareous grit and for
which the Psychologists have not dis.
covered any particular use. The dis
cussion of the subject is an interest.
Ing one. but 1t is plain that 1t is a
matter wholly within the unknowable
and undiscoverable.

Rossinl's memory was lacking in re-

was frequently a cause of amusement
whenever Rossini was among compa-

well enough and at once greeted him.
"Ah, my dear Mr. but the name es-
capped his memory, and 80 convince him

dicted by the grand jury, says the Al

peace Is legally entitled to the costs
IN matters heard by him, but the
fines, II any. are TO be paid To the
territorial treasurer, for the use of the
general school fund,
Heretofore the Justices Of the peace
made returns, AS required by law, Of
these matters. but the report was
simply formal. the county seldom re
ceiving money.
II Is now the intention OF the com
missioners TO bring these vlolatcrs OF
the law to time; II Is suspected that
the county has been deprived of con
siderable revenue. because OF this lax
Ivy and improper returns.
Judge Crollott Is not charged with
any specific misuse of funds. bul
merely for violating the law making
II a misdemeanor for not making 4
proper return, +.
This case will serve TO make othe1
justices diligent and to closer observe
the requirements Of the law. An in
! vestigation Of the several reports
showed that only the two justices o
this city had made returns as re
quired by law, and the attention Of thu
grand Jury being called TO the mat
ter, resulted in the indictment o
Crollott. II this does not serve as al

ton and proceedings will be insti
tuted. Judge Crollott Is quite prom
inent politically, having served In tn
lower house of the thirty-sixth legisla
tive assembly; also two terms as
justice Of the peace.
1t Is evident from the action in tn
Crollott case that the county commits
si0ners are bent on having the lay
enforced and require a strict account
ing of all the costs, fines and Othe
matters, as required of justices Of tn
peace.
