and his letters on Jamaica as winter
resort for Northern People, in
which he so wildly expatiated on the

lightful winter climate and so CRATE
ully testified to the kindness and
hospitality of the colonists, attracted
the attention of many Americans who
later on invested much of their capital
there, and improved the markets for
fruit, coffee and the beautiful hard
woods of the Island. New ware
houses and wharves were built and
Constant Spring Hotel also built
by American capital, another pace
now destroyed, was the favorite re-
sort in winter for Americans and
English tourists. 1t was situated six
miles up in the hills commanding a
fine view of the sea and mountain
scenery, connected with electric trolly

REMINISCENCE
Recent Earthquake Recalls Long

This City.
OF JAMAICA

Apropos of the earthquake in
Jamaica, Renaissance of the late
George E. Hoskinson, might be of in
terest to his many friends living here
as it will be remembered he was the
Z. S. Consul at Kingston from 1876
to 1886.
While the awful devastation caused
by the earthquake in Jamaica is oc-
cupy1ng the attention of the people
who are sympathizing with the I'M
fortunate people of Kingston, we re-
call the fact that the late Mr.. Hoskin-
son spent many years there as the q.
). Consul. He served under five presi-
dents, going there the last year of
Grants second term of office and re-
naming successfully under Hayes,
Garfield, Arthur and until the second
year of Cleveland's administration.
That he was an excellent officer is
well known, as during his encum-
bency he received many fattering
letters from the State Department on
his accurate and very useful reports,
SO fui! of detail and general informa-
ton concerning the commerce and
customs of the Island.

caused him to guide his heavily laden

Officer Garrihee. When sober enough
to realize his predicament, he con-
