swettenham Unequal to Task.

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 26. - The
lack of cooperation on the part of the
central control here is greatly hamper
ing the work of extending relief, pro-
Yiding shelter for the earthquake suf-
ferers, pulling down the unsafe walls
and repairing the damaged buildings,
for which Governor Swettenham is Sc
verely condemned.
An instance of the governors un.
timely, obstructive measures is the po-
lice enforcement of the regulation for
bidding the re-erection of buildings,
even wooden shacks, without the city
surveyors approval of the plans, and
this is causing great delay and much
dissatisfaction. The general opinion is
that the governor has completely lost
his head and is utterly unequal to the
task of meeting the emergency.
The work of clearing away the de
bris is progressing slowly and many
bodies are being recovered as the
wreckage is carted away. The esti
mated loss of life is 700. Thousand:
of others were wounded. 1t is impossi
BILE to estimate the loss caused by the
earthquake, as no building in the cit.
or surrounding district escaped. The
loss by fire following the earthquake il
estimated at S5,000,000.
Fully 1000 pers 1--we been MAIN
ed for life, their less OF arms havin,
been aumpuated, and those who sus
tanned lesser wounds are counted b.
the thousands.
The relief committees are activel
engaged in sending refugees into tn
country and distributing food an
money to those who are unable t
leave the city.

by speakers at the American New Church

its annual meeting yesterday afternoon in

ing, Mr. Dole said:
"The end and aim Of Sunday school in

OF attendance at the Sunday school rest

ers. "a Telling Method of Sunday School
Teaching was Mr.. Mercer's theme. After
characterizing the teaching now done in

know their chief function which was to
teach mot to tell something, but to
teach it," he explained.
