Sincerity. "

The only conclusive evidence of a
mans sincerity is that he gives himself
for a principle. Words. money, all
things else. are comparatively easy to
give away, but when a man makes n
gift of his daily life and practice it is
plain that the truth, whatever it may
be, has possession of him.-James Rus

HEALTH RESORTS UNHURT.
Hotels at the Springs Beyond the City
Are Reported to Have Escaped
injury.

st. Thomas, d. w. l., Jan. 15.-The
earthquake came without warning and
the houses rocked from side to side
many of them collapsing, buring with
in their inmates. Fire broke out in
fifty demolished structures almost sim
ultaneously and the inhabitants were
SO greatly excited that they made no
effort to extinguish the flames, but
fled to the open squares and to the
suburbs. The damage is very great
but it is impossible at this hour C p.
N. Tuesday, to estimate it.
1t is also utterly impossible to say
just who was killed, as whole families
were separated in the confusion that
followed.
1t appeared as though the fury of
the quake was felt mostly in Kingston
as the hotels that are situated out at
the springs beyond the city limits, are
reported to be undamaged If this Is
so it is unlikely that all of the tourists
now in the island are unhurt

James Ferguson, who was caught un-

Many Burned in Ruins.
Many people were burned to death
in the ruins, being caught like rats
in traps, and being unable to get out.
The flames spread to the big military
hospital which was totally destroyed.
Thirty British soldiers, who were con-
fined to their cots in the hospitals,
were burned to death in their beds.
All efforts to rescue them proved un.
avaiIing and a number of soldiers were
badly burned in the attempt.

proper, the government warehouses
suffered most.

The day Fairbanks arrived with his
bride, he first stopped at the Imperial

cured to drive over two squares to the
court house. Once at the court
house, a colored hotel porter gave
Fairbanks some information as to the
legal requirements to get license.
Fairbanks went in and was asked by
the probate Judge to bring his bride
in. She declined to go in and then
a friend helped them out Of the dilem-
ma. A license was obtained and they
were married four hours after arriv-
ing. They then returned to Pitts
burg to the brides parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. James Scott. who had no objec-
tions and the parental forgiveness
was given.
The notoriety given the marriage by
newspapers and magazines forced the
authorities in this Gretna Green to
take some action to stop eloping cou-
pies coming over the border from
Pennsylvania to get married.

cure the license was before the grand
jury and made the indictment possi-
BILE.

grooms from western Pennsylvania

after them and the indictments will be
pushed. The grand jury had the mar
riage license record and the probate
judge who issued the license before it

N. SugTmoto Arrested Be-
cause He Failed to Pay
Transient Merchant Tax.
HIS LAWYER "CASHED up
SIXTY DOLLARS PAID INTO THE
COUNTY GOLFERS FOR SUAvE
CHILD OF THE ORIENT-WIII
CONSULT HIS FIRM.

M. Sugimoto is the name of a gull
less looking and soft spoken Jap, who
in CONJUNCTION with M. f. Lewis, has
been conducting an auction sale on
Main street. Mr.. Sugimoto has dur
ing the last twenty-four hours been
having what might be termed a very
strenuous time. Twice within that
interval this suave child of the Orient
has been within the grasp of the
mighty hand of the law, but in each in
stance he met the situation in spirit
of unruffled calmness.
Mr.. Sugmioto's first experience with
the powers that be, was on Monday
night, when he was placed under the
painful necessity of accompanying
the genial Sergeant McManus to police
headquarters, where he was booked
for failure to take out city license.
This little difficulty was quickly set
tied when the dark faced auctioneer
secured the necessary document from
the city clerk, and radiant smile or
namented his amiable features as he
departed under the impression that his
,
was a mere delusion. The worst was
yet to come.
Yesterday, shortly after noon, Mr..
Sugmioto, smile and all, was again a
visitor at police headquartersthis time
at the behest of Prosecuting Attorney
Jessup, who reminded him that he had
failed to pay into the Golfers of the
county treasury what is known as the
transient merchants tax" and which
amounts to SO per day. Mr.. Jessup
declared that if the aforesa tax was
not paid by o'clock there would ne
dire things doing. Two hours later,
while Sugmioto, and his assistant,
Lewis, with Attorney Thomas
Study, were in the office of Auditor
Hanes trying to arrange some kind of
a compromise for the six days tia.
they have been doing business without
the expenditure of SO per day, Sheriff
Meredith and Sergeant McManus put
in an appearance with warrants for
their arrest on indictments returned
by the grand jury then in session
After a long conference Mr.. Study
agreed to stand good for the $50 which
his clients owe the county, they agree
ing to procure that sum from the head
quarters of the company by which they
are employed, which is at Cincinnati.
In the event that they continue TO do
business here they will each lay down
