AMERICAN RULE.
People of Jamaica Fear Uprising
Of Blacks and So Want Brit

New York Sun Special service.


Kingston, Jamaica, Feb. pa great
deal Of excitement has been caused in
EJamaica by the decision Of the British
government to forward all white troops
from the British West Indies and dis
band the West India regiment.
A movement has been set on foot to
protest in the name Of the people OF
the colony against thesaplans Of the
British war office and admiralty.
I To the inhabitants Of Great Britain
| the. maintaining Of garrisons in this
part of the world is only justified by
lone consideration-the possibility OF
attack on the West Indian colonies by
foreign countries. The government at
guaranteed the West Indies against
Investment. Consequently the problem
from the point Of view Of the British
takes this form: .e
'E'The United States government has
assured to us the peaceful possession
Of our West Indian colonies; why
should we be to the expense of main:

have .revolted five, or six times, anC
each time there was lot of trouble
in quoting them.
| The fact is that the West Indian
colonies are no longer deemed impor
tant or. necessarily integral parts Of
the empire. If the government at Wash
ington were to say to the people Of
Great Britain, "Hand over your West
Indies to us and we will look afte1
them,',' the thing would be done in the
twinkling of an eye.
| The West Indian colonists, white ant
black, both hope that before long Brit
ain will hand them over to the land Of
the stars and stripes.

United States, and Patterns
Destroyed.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
New York, Feb. 27.-The gown Mrs.
Roosevelt will wear at the inaugural
ball in Washington next Saturday night
is made entirely of American materials
and by New York city modiste. The
silk was woven in Paterson, N. j., and
after enough had been made for Mrs.
Roosevelt's dress the design was de-
stroyed. Likewise the pattern used by
the modiste was burned after the ma
terial had been cut.
Attic it will be extremely simple,
the gown alone costs $1,000. It is an
electric blue silk, with a design of gold
en- feathers in medallions. Small fig
ures of flying birds are woven between
the medallions. Both the waist and
skirt are Of the same electric blue.
Golden Thread Woven In.
A golden thread is woven into the
silk. At night the lights in the ball
room will bring out the glitter of the
gold, and the gown will change from
blue to gold with each wave of the
material. Slippers and stockings of
the same silk will complete the costume,
and Mrs. Roosevelt will wear a large
electric blue feather in her hair.
More than a hundred yards of chit
fon and forty yards Of taffeta were
used by the dressmaker, and the cos
tune is believed to be one of the hand
soonest gowns Of it's kind ever made.
A Lexington avenue modiste made
the costume.
Much care has been taken to prevent
the public from obtaining a descrip.
ton of the gown. 1t was the wish of
Mrs. Roosevelt to surprise Washington
society with the creation.
The Gown Described.
The gown is made after the empire
style, the bodice being of the Louis XIV.
design. At the shoulders a quantity of
beautiful old, lace which has been in
Mrs. Roosevelt's family for several
generations is used in trimming. The

shirred chiffon across the front. The
sleeves are plain frills Of pleated chit

spread criticism Of his position on the
comparative and "absolute' use
lessness Of men at the respective ages
of 40 and go, to make the following
signed statement:
have been misquoted in the papers and
should like to make the following state
ment:'
First did not say that men at &C
should be chloroformed. That was the
point in a novel to which referred, and
on which the novel hinged.
Second-Nothing in the criticisms has
shaken my convictions that the telling
work Of the world has been done and is
done by men under 40 years Of age. The
exceptions which have been given only
illustrate the rule.
Third-It would be for the general GOOD
of men at 60 We're they relieved from
active work. We should miss the energies
of some young men, but on the whole
it would be Of the greatest service to the
sexageneraii themselves. .......

Indians as Soldiers.

Army officers do not agree with the
Indian commissioner as to the value Of
converting the Carlisle school into a
sort Of aboriginal West Point. There
has never been much military confidence
in the Indian as soldier, and it is
doubtful if the training for that purpose
at Carlisle will be regarded as a Special
ly profitable change in the character Of
the training at that institution. There
is admittedly another side to the prof
ect in that the Indian may be made a
better and more useful man by the edu-
cation of the youth at Carlisle for mill
tary service There is no question that
the discipline will be good thing, even
should the students fail Of conversion
into suitable soldiers. The experience
Of the government with the Indian as
a trooper was not entirely satisfactory,
to describe the situation mildly, but it
must be said, also, that in the early
days the Indian had no such training as
is proposed at Carlisle. There is no
lack Of appreciation that the new com
missioner Of Indian affairs, Mr.. Leupp,
understands the Indian question better
than any of his predecessors, and his
plan for the Improvement Of the In
dian youth will be received with due
respect.

How. Pictures Are Made.

The method employed in printing the
spirit pictures, so the spirits appeared
to be grouped around my head and
shoulders IS about like this: The pho
tographer reduced the plate, on which my
likeness was reproduced, to transparency
in certain places. Behind these thinned
places small films or plates, with like
nesses Of the Puritans, my sons-in-law
and the rest Of the spirits were cemented
and the picture printed as a composite
whole. There are several other methods
but this is the main one.
T understand that when these spirit pho
tographers find difficulty in securing pic
lures of dead relatives Of their patrons.
they will resort to extraordinary methods
to get them.
