Davis and his American squad
ron away from the earthquake
stricken island, where they were
doing their best to relieve the
suffering in the cause of common
humanity. According to all the
facts in the case, so far as they
have yet developed, Admiral Da-
Wis sailed into what was left of
the harbor at Kingston, Jamaica,
and without waiting for orders
from anyone landed blue jackets
to help preserve order, and doc
tors and medical supplies, to help
out the scantysstore in the over
worked hospital. Withal he
courteously placed himself at the
disposal of Gov. Swettenham,
announcing that he was there to
do whatever needed most to be
done, pending the arrival of the
relief ship Celtic, which was al
ready on its way from the United
States. Almost anyone might
suppose, under the circumstan-
ces, that the Governor-General
would have welcomed these
friendly Offices. But what did
he do? With characteristic Brit
ish insularity he ordered Admi-
raj Davis and his marines back
on shipboard, as though an in
vading force from an unfriendly
power, and added insult to injury
by an unkind and untrue letter
in which he as good as accused
Admiral Davis of lying and told
him that he needed no assistance
from the outside.
Such performance was not cal
culated to stimulate the sympa-
thies of the United States with
stricken Jamaica, neither was it
calculated to increase the good
feeling between the United
States and Great Britain. But
while it is certain to strain rela-
tiOns a bit there are no serious
results to be apprehended. The
English papers have been un-
sparing in their denunciation of
Gov. Swettenham's graceless act
and the officials, both of the
State department and of the En-
glish foreign Office, have dis
creetly announced that they have
mo official advices" on the af-
fair, and cannot discuss it for
publication. 1t is possible that
Gov. Swettenham may be re-
called as mark of displeasure
on the part of the English Gov
ernment. If he is, so much the
worse for the governor and so
much the better for the island of
Jamaica. 1t is hardly to be sup
posed that he will have the SYM
pathy of decent minded English
men, either at home or abroad,
but so far as Jamaica is con-
cerned, the earthquake sufferers
will be the ones to get the worst
of it. One can hardly suppose
that there will be any great en-
thusiasm in this country over
rendering further assistance to
the islanders. The potential
cordiality between this country
and Great Britain will merely
have received another Seth ack,
and one can only be thankful
that the unfortunate occurrence
did not happen at a time and
place when such churlish incivil.
ity on the part of a British off
cial might easily have had {
much more serious outcome.

A. See on Maskat.

A funny scene occurred many years
ago in congress. A present of Ara
bian horses, sword. ETC., arrived from
the imam Of Maskat for President
Adams. A western member with
some heat moved that the gift should
be sent back, with letter from con-
gress informing the ruler of Maskat
that the president of the United
States was no king, but the servant Of
the people, and was not permitted to
give or receive presents.
Another member rose. "Such let
ter, Mr.. Speaker" he said, ''can easily
be written. But where is it to be sentf
Where is Maskat?''
There was no response. Apparently
not member of the house was pre-
pared to answer, nor could Maskat
then be found in any atlas published
In this country. 1t was found at last
on a German map. A civil answer
was returned, and the geographers
made haste to insert Maskat in the
next edition of their maps.

THE GREEK MYRMEx.
II Was the Deadiiest Weapon of the
Ancient PugiIist.

II Was the DeadIiest Weapon of the
Ancient PueiIist.
The four ounce glove was unknown
to the ancient pugilist When the
boxers and fighters came together in
the old days of Greece they wore up
on their hands the cestus, which was
in itself terrible adjunct to any
fighter. But Dr. Daniel G. Briton dis
covered that there was sometimes at
tached to the cestus deadlier weap-
on, consisting Of a three pronged fork
of bronze.
This was known as the myrmex, and
DR.. Brinton, who found this specimen,
gave 1t to the museum OF archaeology
In the University of Pennsylvania.
Classical literature has frequent ref
erences to the myrmex, which is de-
scribed as the deadlfest weapon Of the
ancient pugilist. The right hand was
swathed in tough hide, bound in place
with thongs and supplemented by
small knobs of lead or iron, to which
was affixed the myrmex. DR.. Brinton
made his discovery in Paris by ex-
aiming the Greek and Roman mar
bles in the Louvre. One Of these
groups represented fighter bearing
on his right fist the cestus and myr-
mex.
Combats In those days were much
more brutal and dangerous than those
of the modern prize ring. 1t is easily
seen that single blow Of the myr-

THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

Whence II Comes and Whittier It Goes
No One Knows.
The solar system is well enough
when picturesquely expounded, but
when the solar system becomes mere
atom travelling some 400,00O,00O Of
miles per annum toward some incon-
ceivable goal. and when millions Of
similar systems have to be contem-
plated, all pursuing some similar
course. the lay Imagination is COM
pletely baffled.
Nor is it easy to believe that the most
eager astronomer is not sometimes
perplexed and dismayed by the vistas
opened up before him. For everything
he learns merely opens up vaster prob
lens, and when he has extended his
vision to stars from which light would
take 1000 years to reach this earth he
is no nearer finality than the child
who thinks the sky but spectacle Of
revolving lights.
We are told that the heavens as we
see them are occupied by two great
streams of stars moving In opposite
directions. That suggests at least two
centers of revolution at some unimagi-
nable distance and adds to our aching
embarrassment. We ask, Whence2

there is no answer.-London Times.

Governor vardaman declared that
his message to the next legislature
his farewell message would be the
most comprehensive and thorough
that he ever framed The governor
indicated that his four years exper-

he desires to present to the legisla-

matters that he will discuss in his
forthcoming message, will be that of
the isolation of the tubercular pa
tients or persons afflicted with tub

from the healthy inmates. This is
olation has been begun at the insane

only is it necessary to watch this
trouble in the insane hospital here

THE WELSHERS.



Treated In England.
One thing that deters people from
wagering large sums at the tracks Of
England is the comparative frequency
with which the bookie there departs
with the stakes. This is lrascality
almost unknown at an American
course, and in the very exceptional
cases when 1t does happen the turf as
ISOLATION always makes good all losses.
But If the cry of "welsher" goes up
on an English track, prepare for trou-
BILE. Battle, murder and sudden
death generally follow. AS everybody
knows gambling debt is Legitimate,
SO the mob's only recourse is to take
its moneys worth out of the 1nfortu-
nate mans person. They knock him
off his box, tear his clothes to pieces,
beat, kick and trample on him, and
unless he is rescued in time by the po-
lice they are apt to finish him alto
gether. The authorities are on the
alert to prevent such things, and as
soon as there is sign of trouble the
terror stricken bookmaker is sur
rounded by group of "bobbies," who
fight their way through the dense mass
and escort him beyond the reach Of
the fury of the mob.--From 'sThe Peo-
pie and the Ponies," by @. F. Peters, in
Bohemian.

ment Of the camp already mentioned
in these columns. The camp will
need attendants and perhaps an extra
physician in charge, as it is detached
entirely from the main building and
the wards in which the hundreds OF
patients are confined. The. fact that
science has at last discovered the
means for combating this dread
scourge, the governor thinks, makes
1T imperative and binding upon the
state to give the unfortunates in it's
care the full benefit of the discovery.
The system proposed OF isolation in
camps and keeping the patients in
the open air every possible minute
of the day and night, is the one
which is meeting with such wonder
full success in the northern states,
and the one that is being adopted in
the institutions of this character.
Yesterday the governor visited the
insane hospital and the tent city in
company with Dr.. Ward, president
of the state board of health. The
doctor made visit here for the
especial purpose of viewing the camp
and he will most probably have
something to say along the same line
in his report to the legislature as
president of the board of health.
DR.. Ward has devoted much time and
industry to the study of the scientific
treatment of the disease and there is
not man in the state who has, per-
haps, as wide information on the
subject. What he will or may have
to say will therefore be of the great
est interest.
