Steanlirlg up out of the sunset glow
in the west the big ocean greyhound
Korea swung up to her anchorage OF
mort at 8 o'clock last night. She was
sighted some twenty miles west at $40
m but was unable to make port
before dark and stern rule OF the
Pacific Mail line that nothing less than
the desire Of the general managers
wife can set aside forbids the big liners
TO come into port after the sun is set.
So after the doctor and the custom
house and immigration officers had
gone aboard the big anchor went into
the sea with a splash, the chain cable
ratified out through the hawse hole,
the red and green sidelights and the
white masthead light went out, the
anchor light was lit and the Korea set
tied down for the night. This morning
at about o'clock she will be along
side the HackfeId wharf putting out
her 500 tons Of freight. Tonight at 5
o'clock she will resume her voyage to
San Francisco.
Several of the passengers came ashore
in a launch last night and the rest will
land at the dock this morning. Through
the courtesy of Mr.. Klebahn and the
inspectors the purser's reports of the
voyage were obtained last night. The
Korea. left Yokohama on the 25th Of
June and had fine weather all the way
over. She has 115 cabin passengers, six
of whom are for this port.

Cyclones in Jamaica

Terribly destructive though cyclones
are there are occasions when they
have a beneficial effect. Some little
time ago Jamaica was swept by a
cyclone from end to end. and the de-
struction it wrought was estimated at
nearly three millions. The community
brayely faced the situation. and now
recognizes that even a hurricane is not
without its blessings. The fruit sea-
sons have been more favorable since
the cyclone than experienced for many
years past. "A hurricane says the
acting governor of Jamaica. appears
to assist in promoting fertility of the
soil. The total destruction of the
banana crop and the attention COM
pulsorily given to clearing cultivation
have resulted in a yield in the last few
months of a much finer grade of fruit
than had been exported on so large a
scale previously."-N. Y. Herald.

THE cHILDREN'S VILLAGE.
Outcome Of Splendid Work for Neg
+. lected Children in New
York City.

On April is an event of peculiar
and significant interest occurred in
New York-the farewell service of the
New York juvenile asylum.
The asylum, states Youths Com
panion. was founded in 1851, and in
the half-century and more of it's ex-
istehce 8 $4,000 neglected children have
been cared for within its walls. 1t
is a noble record. What 1t has meant
TO rhe city of New York and to the
whole country no human calculation
can " measure. In a message sent
to 1t four years ago, President Roose-
welt wrote: II want to tell you that
some of the highest and best men I
know, in professional, commercial and
public life, have come from your in
stitution and others like it."
Yet magnificent though their work
has been, the age of the great asylums
is passing, and their disappearance re-
veals the deepened insight of mod.
ern philanthropy. Half a century
neglected children, that cared for
them when they were i'll and equipped
them in some fashion to ear their
own living. was regarded as giving
them all that the largest demand
could require. Those great rights of
childhood, freedom, opportunity for
individual development, above all. the
need of "mothering," few had con-
sidered, and none supposed attainable
for these forlorn waits of life.
Yet these are precisely the things
which the larger charity of the day is
making beautifully possible. The re-
moval from the Juvenile Asylum Of
New York to the Children's Village of
Dobb's Ferry is one step In the proc
ess. Instead of huge. unhomelike
buildings, there are cottages, each
with it's own gardens, its own family
circle; above all-name of blessed
promise-its own housemother. So at
last the little lonely ones of earth are
entering their kingdom
