RECEIVED GRAPHIC LETTER FROM
A COUSIN IN KINGSTON, JAMAICA

T. L. Gavin of Cleveland, Ohio, reg
istered at the Dacotah hotel last night
Mr.. Gavin in conversation with an
Evening Times reporter stated that he
had just received a etter from a cousin
who was in Kingston, Jamaica, at the
time of the recent disaster.
Mr.. Gavin kindly condescended to
show the letter, which reads as fol-
lows:
"The day after l reached Kingston
was very fortunately seized with a
severe cold. 1t was this fact that
probably saved my life, by keeping ME
away from the Myrtle Bank hotel,
where so many were killed. Several
times l was headed for that hotel,
and each time some lucky star was
over me.
when l arrived in Kingston l was
with two American engineers, and we
gave our baggage checks to the Myrtle
hotel porter. At that moment A. NJ.
Ware and family of Philadelphia, and
Lawrence Haughey, formerly of In
dianapolis, having learned that l was
to be in that morning, drove up and
carried me off to the Knutsford Park
hotel, where they were staying. MIR.
Ware took my baggage check from the
porter, and over the protest of my
engineer friends l went with the
Wares, promising to join the engineers
the next day. In a few days the
Wares left the island, and l packed
my trunk to move to the Myrtle Bank,
as the place where was stopping was
too inconvenient.
THAT night l was seized with
severe tropical cold, and remained in
bed until Monday morning. when
packed my trunk again to move to
the Myrtle Bank. A friend persuaded
me to wait until the next morning.
At $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon
started down town to get a shave at
the Inflated hotel. but this same
friend convinced me that it was too
hot, and that had better wait until
later, when he would go down with
ME. l went upstairs to lay down, and
began reading story of the Port Roy
al earthquake of 1894, and was read
ing 1t when the mischief began.
Suddenly there was roar as of
mad horses dragging an iron chariot
dashing through the halls. jumped
to the edge Of my brass bedstead, and
saw my trunk dancing a Jig with my

dress suit case, while the medicine
bottles on the tray by my side played
smash. My first impression was that
l was in delirium. The next mo-
ment my bed careened, and l went
sprawling against the wall six feet
away; my glasses breaking in the jolt.
There was a frightful vibration of
everything in the room and saw the
walls bend to and fro, the dizziest
sight you can imagine. This vibra-
ton increased in momentum until the
sensation was awful, the crash of fur
niture and plaster breaking accom-
panying the noise of cracking walls.
Pretty soon the vibrations and the
unearthly noises ceased, and l dashed
to the open lawn below, where the
other guests were huddlei. In few
minutes we saw the tunnels of smoke
rising over the city. An hour later
drove through the city and saw scenes
that a man never cares to witness
more than once in a lifetime"

U. S. PENALTIES RAILROADS
Many Railroads Of the Northwest Will
Suffer Penalties for Poor Mail
Service.

With the passing of the snow block
AIDES on the northwest railroads comes
the notice of the United States mail
service department that since early
last year the department has been en-
forcing penalties for inefficient mail
service on all the roads of the country
and that since the snow blockade, par
ticularly, accurate records of all mail
trains have been kept and lawful de-
auctions will be made at the end of
the quarter.
Within the past month the depart
ment, has gone further and has been
authorizing special mail service in this
and other states where needed. One
of the most recent special mail SER
vice orders issued by the department
has just gone into effect between For
man and Rutland. Under the new
order mail will be transferred from
the Great Northern to the 500 line.
No estimate can be made at the
present time as to what it will cost
the roads in penalties as a result of
the rigorous winter but the figures
will undoubtedly be high.

the table was beautifully decked with
brides roses, chrysanthemums, smil-
Ak and ferns, and over the center
swung a large wedding bell composed
OF ferns and hyacinths.
Green shaded candles threw a soft
light over the table, and the menu
was served to carry out in detail the
prevailing color scheme of white and
green.
The bride and groom were most Law
ishly remembered by many friends
with gifts of value and elegance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Niemeyer left today
for an extended wedding trip south
and east. They will visit New Orleans,
FLORIDA, and other points in the south,
and may extend their trip to Havana,
returning by way of Virginia, Wash
tngton. and New York. They will be
absent several weeks and on their
return will occupy an elegant suite
OF apartments in the opera house
building.
AS is we'll known, the groom is
among the best known and most sue
cessful business men of the city, a
member of the firm of the Beck cloth
Ing company, and the bride is the ac-
complished daughter of Lambert Smith
an old resident of Jamestown. Their
hosts of friends extend the warmest
congratulations.

Minot hasn't got any sugar, and
fudge without sugar would taste like
froth without the beer, only little
bit worse Minot has been without
sugar for several days, but there are
prospects of an early let up.

An Egg Ration.

1t is fact that exact knowledge concern
ing the nutrition of poultry, and particu-
larly of laying fowls, is exceedingly limited,
and the present understanding of the sub
ject is based largely upon observation and
experience, rather than upon strictly scien-
tifc inquiry. Judging from the compost
ton of the egg and from variety of ex-
periments, it is recognized that laying hens
must have food which contains a liberal
percentage of protein to produce the egg
white and yolk, considerable fat to furnish
material for building the fatty part of the
yolk and moderate amount of ash.
Experience has taught that the cereals
alone do not furnish protein and ash as rap
idly as they are needed by fowls bred for
egg production, nor to induce the quickest
development of growing stock.
From its observations the Maine Expe-
riment Station recommends the following
mixture for layers: 200 pounds wheat
bran, 100 pounds middlings, 100 pounds
gluten meal, 100 pounds linseed meal, 100
pounds cornmeal and 100 pounds beef
scraps. This combination contains ap-
proximately "a per cent. protein, Z per
cent. fat, per cent. ash, per cent. fiber
and 46 per cent. starchy matter, and
would cost 81 SO hundred, unmixed, at
retail. The writer has had good success
with mixture of 100 pounds cornmeal,
so pounds wheat bran, SO pounds flour
middlings, so pounds gluten feed and so
pounds beef scrap. 1t contains % per
cent. protein, per cent. fat, per cent.
ash, 4 per cent. fiber and 81 per cent.
starchy matter, and costs 81. 80 hundred,
unmixed, at retail. The scrap may be
omitted and mixed in with the grains as
often as it is deemed necessary. Such
mixtures may be fed either dry or made
into friable mash with skim milk or hot
water, together with little salt Either
of the above combinations will certainly be
productive of good results and will cost less
than the average ready ration.

Notes.

A new way to have nice, crisp popcorn on
hand at any time is to can it. Pop the
corn by putting a big spoon of meat drip
pings in round bottom iron kettle and one
teacup of popcorn. Stir it around until it
commences to pop, then cover it up and
shake. Have your cans ready and put it
in them as soon as you can after it is pop
ped and put on rubbers and screwup tightly.
Popcorn treated this way will keep several
weeks as fresh and crisp as when popped.
1t is good idea to pop and fill your empty
cans on rainy day and then have it ready
in an emergency.
Wood ashes, charcoal and salt have long
been used to kept hogs healthy. When
wood ashes cannot be had charred corncobs
are recommended in lieu of wood coal. When
overheated the hog quickly succumbs.
The man or horse when overheated soon
has the surface of his body covered with
perspiration, and the evaporation Of this at
once begins the reduce his temperature.
Nature has no such provision for the relief
of the hog when heated by exposure to the
sun or by exercise. This it reason enough
why it should have an abundant and con-
venient water supply and a bathing place and
and cooling in summer Crowding in win
ter many also cause overheating.

Winter Care Of Lambs.

Too many farmers do not give sufficient
care to their lambs during the first winter
of their existence. Since the advent of
the mutton sheep great many farmers
breed their lambs, which is great mistake
if they desire profitable flock of sheep.
Others who do not commit this error sim
ply run them through the winter as cheaply
as possible, and the lambs come out in the
spring little if any heavier than they were
in the fall. They have perhaps grown
some in the frame, but have not attained
the development that they ought to reach
when they are year old. With lambs as
with all other young stock, it is necessary
to get development while young, if at all.
1t will pay well to give the lambs little
grain ration and some roots for succulent
feed if silage is not available, during their
first winter. They will make larger sheep,
have better constitutions, produce heavier
heeces and be a more desirable foundation
for future breeding operations than ifsimply
carried through the winter upon roughage
of inferior quality, as is too often done.
If it pays to keep them at all it pays to
keep them well, and the farmer who does
not do this is apt to condemn the breed Of
sheep which he may happen to have or the
breeding stock which he has purchased fol-
the improvement of his flock when the
fault is really his own.

eo-Year Suit Ovsr $5 Cost $4,000.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Feb. 16.-Dragged
through the courts for more than sixtyyears,
the lawsuit of Andrew Camp VS.. William
Zimmerman was finally decided in court
here. The litigants were leading farmers
in the upper end of Lehigh County, and the
dispute arose over strip of land worth
about S5. The suit was over the owner
ship and the litigation began when thinner
man cut down chestnut tree on the prop
erty.
The men and their families, although
neighbors, have not spoken to one another
for half a century. The case has been in
the Supreme Court at least three times,
and no less than $50, 900 has been spent in
lawyers fees and costs.
Since the last action was brought Zim-
norman died, as has also his lawyer, John
Rupp, and the principal witness, Peter
Kunkle. The widow fought the case to
a finish, but she lost, the jury deciding that
the property belongs to Camp. When the
suits involving the question Of damages
we're tried the verdict never exceeded Sc.

Over 100 Miners Killed in Mexico.

MONTEREY, Mexico, February 49,
A dispatch from Las Esperanzas, Coahuila,
says that 80 men are known to be dead
and IL injured as result of an explosion
of gas in the coal mine at that place.
The list of dead and injured may be
extended to over hundred, as that num-
ber of men are believed to have been in the
mine at the time of the accident
The explosion occurred at 2. NJ. in
the Conquista mine No. 3. Thirty dead
bodies have been taken out of the wreck,
and it is estimated that Is more are yet in
the mine.
Las Esperanzas is on the line of the In
ternational Railway about IS miles from
Eagle Pass, Texas. 1t is the principal
coaling center in Mexico, and many men,
including large number Of japanese, are
employed there.

Human Head In A Log.

GETTYSBURG, Feb. 13.-While George
Woodward was running sawmill in the
mountains of Adams county he discovered
the petrifed head and neck of human
being, imbedded in large oaklog. Wood
ward removed the head and has shipped it
to DIR. G. W. Tate, ofAltoona, for exarai-
nation. The head was Of perfect proper
tions, the features being preserved to the
minutest detail in the body Of the wood.
Ears, nose, mouth, eyes, eyebrows and
even the lines of the face were plainly Wis
ible. The unusual color was the only
thing which detracted from it's life like ap-
pearance.
The tree was cut near the cave of Lewis,
the notorious robber. 1t is supposed the
head belonged to one of the victims of this
outlaw, who in early times was the terror
of the mountainside.
Lewis committed many murders along
the old Shippensburg road, Numerous ex-
peditions were sent against him, but retir-
ing to his impregnable stronghold in the
wilds of the South Mountains he always
resisted attack.

Warm Milk For The Calf.

Don't ever feed the little calf cold milk.
If you had ever made cheese you would
know better.
A calf's S stomach is like cheese vat Of
milk after the rennet is added. The rem
net taken from calf s stomach coagulates
the milk in the cheese vat the same as it
coagulates the milk in the calf $ stomach.
Every cheesemaker knows that rennet will
not act upon cold milk in his cheese vat,
neither will it act upon the cold milk In
the calf's stomach, until the calf has
warmed that milk to a proper temperature
Cold milk causes the calf to shiver, de-
ranges his digestive machinery and renders
him unable to make a thorough assimila-
tion of his food and seriously impairs his
future usefulness as feeder. He usually
turns out pot-bellied, bristly coated runt,
when if little warm milk could have been
put in his milk before feeding he might
have turned out fat, sleek-coated fellow,
a satisfaction and profit to his owner.
Many $40 or $50 at the butchers
shop could be traced back to little warm
milk, a dry bed and warm quarters in calf
hood

"Embalmed" Milk in Illinois Kills
Babies.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Impure milk adul-
terated with formaldehyde, which the State
authorities pronounce poison ''much
used as an embalming Auid," is killing
thousands of infants in Illinois, according
to report just made to Governor Dineen.
In thirty five cities unclean and unsani-
