Vines are Jamaica's Floral Glory.
The vines are the floral glory of
Jamaica, always in bloom SNOWY,
gorgeous. Among wildlings, big flow
cred lilac and purple perennial morn
ing glories predominated. In thickets
along the Rio Cobre I found the peli-
can flower (aristolochia) with blooms
yard long. Big, bright yellow morn
ing glories covered many porch.
Petraea volubilis, with it's racemes of
blue, formed woody thickets of vine.
Bouga1nv1lleas were a sea of magenta
and the Mexican mountain rose (anti-
gonon) an airy shower of rose pink.
The stephanotis on high trellises
grew, bloomed and fruited with
freedom unknown in greenhouses.
But the most extravagantly profuse
of all airy-bloomed vines was Porana
paniculata, an East Indian plant of
vigorous growth and snow bank of
small white flowers Balfour's clero-
dendron had a profusion of red and
white blossoms The blush potato
vine, Seaforth's solanum, wild and
cultivated, was much in evidence and
looked we'll in bloom and scarlet fruit.
On trellises and fences I noted the
vivid yellow and orange Bignonia
venusta in floral extravaganza, and
occasionally the magnificent blush B.
magni6ca and it's white form alba
were strikingly lovely in gardens.
Thunbergias of several kinds were
often met with, especially the snowy
Harrisi. In one garden I came upon
a great mass Of Baumonita grandi-
flora with it's feshy stems and leaves
and big white trumpet fragrant flow
ers. But there were many other vines
in tropical luxuriance, notably passion
flowers in flower and fruit, and at one
place red tacsonia from New Grana-
da.
A sunhower cheated me. Riding
along the road in the dusk of the
evening one day, observed great
mass of big yellow flowers against the
piazza Of residence, 40 or 50 yards
back from the street. I was much
puzzled, got off my horse, opened the
gate and walked up to the house. No,
it was no vine, nor tree nor shrub
unknown to me, but the sunflower,
tithonia, a vigorous, exceedingly hori-
ferrous and snowy tender composite
five to eight or nine feet high, fine
for background, but too rough for
the front in planting.
Wild Flowers.
Among wild flowers Begonia nitida
was quite common in the woods;
some Of the foot hills seemed to be
carpeted with Achinenes coccinea in
bloom, and my heart jumped for joy
when came upon patches of Cocco-
cypselum repens, creeping blue

was equally effective, and much safer.
He ordered his men below decks to

moments started . dosen or more fires

they were fairly ablaze he gathered
up his dead and wounded. hurried

kill all of them. The people Of Ma
zatlan expressed their gratitude by
presenting Brownson with a silver
service bearing an appropriate in

NORFOLK. Va, May 13.-It was
exactly 500 years ago today thai Cap
tain Newport and his little band of
eolonists established the first perma-
ment English settlement on American
soil. The anniversary ives celebrated
at Jamestown island today, and the
celebration will live in the history Of
the Old Dominion. The attendance at
the exercises was large, the program
we'll arranged and the men assigned

honor bestowed upon them.

break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a p. 0per

taking DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-ROOt, the

cures of the most distressing cases.

COPPER CLAIMS

Renewed Activity In Miner
al Belt In Vicinity Of
Peck

Special to Evening Teller.
PECK. Idaho. May 1S.-Develop-
ment work on the copper mines in the
vicinity Of Peck has been actively re-
newed this season and assays running
from $25 to $50 per ton have been re-
ceived. The outlook for the properties
Is considered most encouraging, and
"a large amount of work will be per-
formed this season.
The entire Clearwater country in
the vicinity of Peck and extending up
the river for many miles is highly
mineralized, and reports from expert
mining engineers pronounce the CON
ditions favorable for rich copper de-
posts there. The favorable location
as to transportation is considered
most essential in the development of
copper properties, and will make the
Peck mines particularly valuable as
soon as the ore bodies have been suffi-
GENTLY developed to insure the perma-
nency of the ore veins.
The streets through town and to the
point where the county contract OF
matchmaking commenced are now
being paved by a public subscription.
It is expected the road Improvement
will be completed by the county to the
river this season apd the residents OF
the highlands will greatly improve the
grades leading from Peck to the sew
eral ridges tributary to the river from
this point.
A shipment of -four is being made

Adventurous Career.
Few officers now in the navy have
had more stirring adventures than has
/ Rear Admiral Brownson. When he
was a midshipman on the old Moha-
, gan, on the Pacific station, he had a
brush with gang of pirates that was
quite as exciting and sensational as
any chapter in yellow fiction. The Mo-
hogan was cruising near Mazatlan,
Mexico, when the citizens of that port
appealed to Captain Lowe, her com
mander. for protection against a free
booter who was killing innocent citi-
zens, looting unprotected towns and
committing depredations all along the
coast
Lowe promised to look after the pi-
rates and soon located them some
where in an almost inaccessible cItis-
ter of lagoons, When Capt. Lowe dis
covered the snug harbor Of the pi-
rates, he detailed Midshipman Brown
SON. with a boats crew, to hunt them
down. When Brownson reached their
refuge the pirate schooner appeared
to be deserted. She looked as II she
had been abandoned. but the moment
the Yankee sailors clambered over the
side of the vessel they were attacked
by volley from the limbs of the trees
and other dense vegetation around
them. The pirates, finding that they
were pursued. had arranged an ann
bush and climbed the trees where they
could command the deck of their
schooner.
