The Governor of Jamaica Orders Ad.

Forces and Ships.

Kingston. Jamaica.--On Saturday
Rear-Admiral Davis's mission of mercy
TO stricken Kingston came to an
abrupt and painful conclusion in con-
sequence of Governor Sweettenham' S
objection to the presence of Ameri-
can sailors engaged in the work OF
clearing the streets, guarding prop
erty and succoring the wounded and
sick, eliminating In a letter to the
admiral peremptorily requesting him
to re-embark all parties which had
been landed.
Admiral Davis was greatly shocked
and panied, and paid formal visit
to Governor Sweettenham, informing
him that the United States battle
ships Missouri and Indiana and the
gunboat Yankton would sail Sunday
afternoon.
Admiral Davis declares that imme-
diate compliance with Governor Sweet.
tenham's request was the only course
consistent with the dignity OF the
United States.
The friction between the governor
and the admiral began with the ar.

of salute in his honor on the ground

shock was followed by fifteen minor
snocks. The wooden structures stood
well, but the brick houses collapsed
within radius of six miles. The i'm
muulty of $50 years led the Jamaic-
ans to forget that they were within the
the earthquake zone and they had
been building brick houses. But for
this. probably there would have been
no loss of life.
There has been no tidal wave.

Why Milk Costs More.

Interesting statistics as TO the cost
of milk production are given by the
local milk dealers of a Massachusetts
town in an announcement made Of An
increase in the retail price OF milk to
seven cents Il quart during the winter
months. on this announcement we
find the following suggestive compari-
sons:
Twenty years ago mill feed cost $l4
per ton; today So per ton. Then cot
ton seed cost SIS per ton; today $34
per ton. Then, farm labor cost $50 per
month; today, SIC per month. Then
milch cows cost $40 each; today, 500
each. Formerly a milk dealers outfit
consisted of about % tin cans, costing
about So. Today, for the same bust
ness. it requires bottles, boxes, filters,
coolers, etc. costing $50. our plumb
ing, carpenters repairs, blacksmithing
and other like expenses have increased
80 per cent. Added to the above are
the constantly increasing restrictions
of state and local boards Of health,
which undoubtedly improve the quality
of the milk but at a considerable in
crease in cost, which increase has fallen
on the producer and dealer, when 1t
should be paid by the consumer"

Feasibility Has Been Shown.

THAT the plain is practicable has al
ready been demonstrated eXpermentally
by the Paint Manufacturers association
of the United States. At the beginning
of the current year it was learned that
n shade to be known as copper brown
would be popular in women's goods.
With this color dark green shade natu-
rally suggested itself as harmoniziug
color, so copper verde was selected as Il
second special color for the experiment.
An approved formula for these two
shades was then worked out and given
10 every member of the association and
at the proper time attention was called
to them in all quarters. As n result
the total sales of all manufacturers of
these coors for the year will approx
mate. if they do not exceed, 1OO, 900 gal
Ions, not counting the limitations of the
two colors supplied by painters and
others. This is an experiment which
shows that fashion in paints is not
only feasible. but something which will
be greatly appreciated by the home
owners of the country
