THE kING,TON CALAMITY.
THE EARTHQUAKE THERE As DESCRIBED BY RAY. MR. PERRY

After Paying a Visit to the Stricken
 City-City Ground to POwder-Scenes
 in Removal of Dead Bodies and
 Debris.
 The following is an extract of a let ter to a friend in this city by the Rev. MT. Perry, rector of St. Paul's church, dated Port Antonio, January 20:
 T wish that l might give you dis tant idea of the condition, physical and mental, which the earthquake has pro- duced here, the whole island lies stun ned by the shock; it's people bewildered, overwhelmed with grief, yet wonder fully self-controlled. The effects of the shock are evident in all parts of this eastern section, though in the coun- try towns there were few casualties Kingston the capital and one business center is absolutely destroyed. l went there yesterday for visit between trains. The scene is too pitiable, too horrible for description. The city is worse than ruined-it is ground to powder. The shock which lasted forty seconds, brought down the brick and mortar, then the fire starting instantly reducing the framework to ashes For a few days all attention was given to the dead and wounded. Now martial law is rigidly enforced. Only the white uniforms of our naval officers, and the black forms of the negro soldiers and workmen are to be seen hard at work everywhere, clearing the debris and burning the bodies wherever found. About a thousand lives were lost and five thousand more were injured. Near ly every family on the island is in mourning. Most of them are African negroes, but even these show dignitied self-restraint, and a pathetic apprecia- tion of everything done for them. The heaviest losers financially are the na- tive Jamaicans.
 "Our English church at Port Antonio, which has escaped any injury, is all ways filled on Sundays, am told. It was crowded this morning by con- gregation, every one of whom had req son to be devoutly grateful for being spared The sense of this was evident in the spirit of the service. Such sing ing and earnest attention have never found in any church. Imagine six or eight hundred full-voiced negroes, weakly assisted by a few of our half mute American church 'worshippers all singing the choral service, pouring their very souls into every chant, every hymn, every amen, and leaning for ward in their seats to listen with sore hearts to the lessons, and to the siin- pie, earnest address of their English missionary priest. Were it not for my impatience to get back to dear old St. Paul's and our own people, 1 should like to stay for a few weeks with these poor stricken folk, and gain inspiration from their courage and trust"
 It was announced by Rev. MT. Bell at St. Paul's church yesterday morning that Rev. MT Perry is expected in this city the latter part of this week, and that he will preach at both services at St. Paul's church next Sunday.

THE DANGERS OF SPAIN.
Tn Them the Racial Traits are Best
 Revealed.

Tn Them the Racial Traits are Best
 Revealed.
 It is in the songs of a country, writes Thomas Walse in the Theater Maga- zine, that one generally looks to find it's soul; but in the case of Sain as well as of all our Spanish neighbors, Cuba, Porto Rico Mexico Central and South America and the Philippine Is- lands, we find that 1t Is in their dances that the national or racial spirit most clearly reveals itself. Therefore the subject of Spanish dancing should pos sess not only historic and esthetic in terest, but also practical bearing on many problems of domestic and civic importance Unfortunately the furore created in foreign lands by occasional wandering dancers from Spain has given rise to so many erroneous mo- tions on the subject that we too readi- ly overlook the conditions under which these dances exist at home-their na- tional and their local characteristic fact that they are performed from childhood by SpSnish men and women of all conditions of society-and that they are associated not only with every festivity. but also with the religious ritual.
 In way Spain may be said to have set the whole world dancing. Martial Strabo and Petronius tell us that Rome, as early as the days of the first Caesars delighted in the dancers of CaIdiz; and Baron Davillier assures us that the Ole, as danced in southern Andalusia, is identical with the Egyp- tian dances shown in the sculptures in the museum of Turin. Moreover, did not Italy and France, in the sixteenth century, succumb to the charms of the Passacalle? Was not the Paspie-one of the farms of the Pavane-the de- i light of seventeenth century Frnce? Was not the Zarabanda, after hun- dred years of persecution at home, trl- umphantly introduced into France by Louis XIV himself?
 In the sixteenth century--that golden age of dancing-the Spaniards estab- lished a clear distinction between what are known as Danzas and Bailes. By Danzas were intended all the grave and stately measures of the courts; these were the pastimes of the Ferdi- hands and Philips, their queens and favorites and the naughty warriors, ambassadors and nuncios of Toledo, Seville and Escorial. Such was the Pavana or Pavane characterized by its numerous struttings like those of the peacock, in which it is said that Cath erine dei Medicia was unriValed.
 A similar dance was the Folia. for which some claim a Portuguese origin. The blooi thirsty Pedro I. of that eountry devoted his evenings to dan eing it with his children and the other unfortunates he could command about him. As with many of the SpSanish dances, the Folia became a favorite

PEARLS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Search is a Game of Hazard fol
 High Stakes


 High Stakes.
 Pearling at Jolo, which lies at the southwestern extremity of the Philip pine group, is a mysterious industry A large amount of capital and thou sands of lives are risked each year in delving into ocsan depths for the great, rough-shelled bivalve which occasion la contains a pearl worth a kings ran- som. Because of the great risk in volved and the possible fortune to be gained the industry has a fascination scarcely to be resisted by those who have once experienced it. Because of the great variety of people who search for pearls, the vast area of the hunting grounds, the centuries-old customs of the Moros and the special laws cover ing the industry, no statistics can be obtained which will approximate the profits. The business is therefore mys- terious.
 PearDoing Is a game of hazard for high stakes The pearlor must risk capital and human life. He must brave sea and go prepared to fight for his rights with savage men, and he must pay the taxes and divide the pro- fits with the shrewd traders from Cey- lon and lngapore Sometimes, says the Far Eastern Review fortune smiles. Three years ago a single pearl was marketed in the Celebes for thirty-six thousand pesos. Such finds rarely come to public notice. shrewd traders are always on hand to snatch them away from the ignorant and fearful di- vers, and the jewel is first exposed for sale in London or Paris or a Dutch port,
 The Moros have three ways of get ting the pearl shells out of the sea. One is by actual diving, one by dredg- ing and a third by three -pronged catcher let down by rattan rope This last method can be used only when the scea is absolutely calm, be- cause the least ripple will prevent the fisherman from seeing the shell at the bottom of the sea. When the first method is employed the diver always says his prayers before he goes down! In the days when shells were plentiful the diver went down to depth of from eight to twelve fathoms but now there are men who even go as deep as twenty fathomI
 In former times the divers were sup posed to give the biggest pearls to the SSultan, but when the natives came t" learn the value of money they secretly sold them to the travellers. As a conse- quence, when it came to the knowledge of the ultan that one of his subjects had suddenly become rich, he conclu- ded that pearl must have been sold, else how did he obtain all these fine things in so short a space of time? A messenger would be sent out at once to fine the man large sum of money.
 Special laws have now been made by the Philippine commission covering the pearling industry. The ultan and his followers have no longer any legal right to collect fines, but so far the ig- norant people still fear the power of the Sultan and have not yet gained sufficient confidence in the American government to accept its guarantee of protection.

AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES


 All the Catholic churches yesterday venerated the memory of St. Blasius and invoked his aid against the dis eases of the throat. After all of the masses the priest holding two lighted candles which had been blessed for the occasion, touched the throats of the faithful with them while he pronounced the following blessing: Through the intercession of St. Blasius may the Lord preserve thee from every disease of the throat, and from all other evils, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost"-Amen. The bless ing was also imparted after vesper ser vices in the afternoon.
 tOn Saturday the churches commem- orated the presentation of the Child Jesus in the temple and the purification of His most blessed mother. The can dles which were blessed on Saturday were intended to symbolize Jesus Christ, who was Light to the nation, and they also remind all Catholics that they should walk and live as "The Chill dren of Light

STOCK MARKET
 LOOKS STRONGER
Sales of Copper Expected This Week. Crop Outlook Is Better-Market Ex. pected to Advance This Week.
(By II. II. Bru Co.)

GLOBE, June 24.-The market open ed weak, with a sagging tendency, and some scattered selling was in evidence, but with little activity. Towards the close stocks were in somewhat better demand and the market hardened, clos ing from fraction of a point to a point higher than the opening figures.
 This week s outlook is better. Sales of copper are expected to take place and this will put an end to the guessing as to the prices at which the metal will sell The crops are also doing better and with the favorable weather condi- tions the outlook should help the stock market.
 We feel somewhat bullish and would not advise selling stocks unless on a good bulge. When the market begins to move it should make good headway.
 The local stock market does not make much activity, but with the other stocks active the local stocks should respond We think stocks like the Inspiration Globe-Arizona Copper, Superior & Bos ton, Calumet & Globe and Globe Con solidated are selling at the bottom fig Erpg

PosToFFICE ADVANCES PRICE
Raises Cost of Stamped Envelopes to
 Postmasters

An order issued by the postofiice de- partment, effective July l, increases the price of stamped envelopes to postmas- ters cents a thousand, while there is no change in the retail price to users. The department will receive for these envelopes $50,000 year more than pre- viously, and as they sell at retail at the same figure as of old, there is some speculation as to just who will pay the difference and who in the past has been receiving the money.
 Beginning July the envelopes will be made by the Mercantile corporation of Dayton, Ohio, that company having bid lower than the Hartford Envelope company, which has manufactured prac- tically all this line of materials for the came into use thirty years ago.
 The Dayton company s contract is at higher figure than that at which the work was formerly done by the Hart ford people. It is due to this advance in cost to the government that the higher price has bene made to the post masters, but the explanation of their ability to meet that advance without peeuniary loss is another story
 There has always been leak in tho retailing of stamped envelopes which the department has been unable to stop It results from the sliding scale applied to sales in small quantities, which al

BUTTE COPPERS
 IN THE LEAD
Amalgamated Closes Strong at $S2.50 -Anaconda Shows Point Advance from tho Opening-Balance of the List Shows Sagging Tendency.
(BY 1. N. KinseYl

GLOBE, June 24.-The New York market, weak and inactive as it was throughout the day, recovered strong at the close, with Reading and Union Pa cifc in the lead. Boston coppers closed weak, undoubtedly due to the metal selling off a fraction of cent in Lon don. Osceola and Old Dominion were the only shares that showed any strength, the latter closing at S43 bid,
 There was considerable demand for Globe Consolidated in Duluth and none coudl be had under $ll.50, Calumet & Globe and Superior X Boston remained unchanged. Montezuma was offered at l5 cents with no takers. Globe-Arizona are making regular shipments and should merit consideration at l7 cents.

ways made discrepancy between the cash and the stamp account.
 Postmasters account to the depart ment at wholesale prices for the stamp cd envelopes handled and what becomes of the balance remains question. The profit may go to the postmaster or his clerk, who may account to him as he accounts to the department. On Febru- ary 2l, 1905, an order was issued re- quiring all postmasters to account for this markin in small sales, but it is un- derstood that this accounting has never been generally made.
 The raise of cents a thousand on these envelopes will, with the same re. tail price, undoubtedly cut this unknown profit. It is not known from whom the $50,000 advance in the sale of these envelopes will come-certainly not from the public. It will be either the loss of the stamp clerks at various offices or postmasters who have, under the old way of doing business, received the pro fits of the small sales.
