CAPT. BAKER, MODERN coRTEz.
How 2 Cape Cod Fisherman Became
 the "Kinc of Jamaica"

That's a remarkable story of Capt. Baker and Jamaica:" of how this gen. tie Cape Cod fisherman became the king of Great Britains richest West Indian Isle The history of the con quest began thirty-fve years ago, with an armada Of one lone schooner. She had two masts and could carry a hun dred tons. Her owner and skipper was Lorenzo Dow Baker the son of a whai- CT, and a child of the sea as well. He took a cargo to Angostura and on his return trip carried a lot of bananas. But by the time he reached New York they had routed. The next time he went he got very green bananas. The fruit was not plentiful. so he began to teach the people to grow them. The first man who has ten acres in banan- as will be a rich man. he told them with earnest conviction. He touched intimately the lives of the blacks. He was known in their homes and in their church socials, and he helped them to build the chapel for which, inevitably, they were collecting money. Then he told them how to get it. Grow ban anas." he said, "grow bananas where ever your mammy will let you have a foot of ground"
  paign of education at both ends. In Jamaica he taught the people to grow bananas. but ;n the United States he had to teach people to eat them They were not an ordinary article of dies, and moreover the yellow kind from Jamaica was comparatively unknown.
 But he has succeeded. He revived the island from economic prostration. and it IS fiourishing. He did it by making the banana trade.
 Captain Baker still lives at Port An tonic, which now is not only an Amer ican town. but a Boston town. In the summer he goes back to Wellheet. there renews intercourse with May flower descendants like himself, tries periodically to wiring an appropriation from Uncle Joe Cannon for the Pil- grim monument at PrOvincetown. quietly looks after his charities. and puts his steady shoulders to any enter prise for the beautifying of life along Cape Cod Port Antonio flies the Am erican flag, although it is a British po- session. The original plan was to al- tenate the flags. Its the coolie's bus mess to change 'em," Captain Baker explained, but I'm afraid he doesn't know his business very weII.''-World's Work

An off cer in one of the aristocratic regiments must have a private income running from S5OOO to $5O,O0O a year. The high figure is moderate estimate for the Life guards.

DELINQUENT LIST
 10 BE WIPED OUT
Board of Supervisors Directs the Col-
 IeCtOr to Make Clean sweep.

The tax collector will now have his hands full of business for some time to come. He has been instructed by the board of supervisors to immediate ly begin suit for the collection of all delinquent taxes. As the Republican announced some time ago, the board has exempted from these suits prop erty of a value lower than $2OO. On such properties the tax will be allowed to accumulate until it is made worth while.
 The following is a copy of the reso- lution directed to the county treas urer:
 MT. Carl Hayden, Treasurer and
 EX-Officio Tax Collector of Mari
 cOpa County. Phoenix, Ariz.:
 Dear Sir: On motion and by the unanimous vote of the board of super visors, you are directed to bring suits against all delinquent taxpayers whose propertiy has an assessed valuation of $2O0 or over that appear on the back tax books.
 Your truly,
 "W. G. PENDLETON
 "CIerk' 9 Immediate action has been taken on these instructions. J. H. Langston, who has been employed by the board in the prosecution of these back tax cases, is now preparing the petitions and complaints for filing in court. The office of the collector is required to make a clean sweep. The law is harsh and the costs are heavy, as the Re publican took pains some time ago to fully illustrate. There will probably be an amendment of the law somewhat modifying its provisions. but that will do the present defendants or those who are shortly to be made defendants no good.
 Though notices are not required, the office O fthe collector has sent out at least two notices to every delinquent tax payer, one last fall and one since the delinquency.
 The office acknowledges the service of the Republican in placing the mat ter before the public. The result is that a large majority of the delin- quents have paid, and the receipts of that the total number of suits which will have to be brought will not be large. The treasurer desires that all avoid the heavy and unnecessary costs by coming in before the filing of the suits.
 But there can be no delay in the be- ginning of the actions. for it is neces- sary to get service on the defendants for this term of court in order that the docket of the fall term may not be encumb bered with this species of lit- igatiOn.

and effectively appealed to the en-
forcement sentiment OF the county
two years ago. OF high character and
sterling worth, resourceful and coura-
geous, and not without experience in
public life, he was selected from a
group of worthy candidates as the man
to atone for the party's loss of two
years ago.
To speak of the other nominees at
this time would be simply to repeat
what has been said in these columns
before. As whole the ticket cannot
fail to secure the full and hearty sup
port of the republican party.
The fight is on; the enemy Is not yet
in sight, but soon will be; he Is wiley
and resourceful; he has the courage OF
desperation, and it will not do to un-
his cunning. But we do
not believe that his best--or worst
can withstand the ticket nominated or
the platform adopted at yesterdays

WORK OF THE RED CROSS.

Organization Has Shown Great Eli
cheney Appeal for Membership.
''The San Francisco disaster, the Japan

the recent typhoon in the Philippines
have given the Red Cross an opportunity
to show its usefulness, and have demon
strated to the public that relief organiza-

war.
SIN Connecticut the interest in the Red
Cross is especially great. Six months ago
it had only 800 members in the state; now
the membership is s6i. Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island are also developing good
state organizations"
The State of Maine branch was organ
lied November last, and already has quite
a membership, and is DESTROYS OF increas-
ing it. The recent enthusiastic meetings
Portland, Bangor and Ellsworth have led
in many to send in their applications, and
it is hoped others " i'll at once do the same,

or Frederic Z. Boothby, treasurer, Port
land, the annual dues being only 800.
