Grand Cayman.
BY NIKSAH.

Grand Cayman, an island Of the Car
ibbean sea between Cuba and Jamaica,
Is a civilized. white mans country
without doctors, lawyers or jails. When
yellow fever or smallpox is intro
duced it dies out of itself. SO healthy
are the people. When a member of
the colony offends the law he is told
to go away" and does so. but few ever
offend. There is Ito litigation, because
the members Of this colony insist on
helping their fellows instead of taking
from them.
There is almost no government in
Grand Cayman. because none is needed
1t is British territory. governed by an
assistant commissioner under the ad-
ministrator of the affairs of jamaica
The taxes are nominal and spent al
most entirely upon schools and roads.
The island is fifteen miles long and
four wide. having a population of 5000
and family may live on the returns
from an acre of ground. which may be
bought for ten dollars. The necessities
of life come so easily that there is no
desire for wealth and nobody possesses
it. The people help each other with
their work without pay. There is al
most no money in the island.
These people speak English. They
are descendants Of old Cromwellian
roundheads, who came to this haven in
1865 and planted a colony of but TWEEN

When Lydia Moulton unexpectedly
to herself and everybody else fell heir
to $4,000 the whole town wondered
what she would do with it. Three
thousand dollars was lot of money to
possess without a single effort on ones
part, especially. when times were as
hard as they were then. good many
people with mortgages and large fam
lilies 'enved Lydia and thought how
much better they could use 1t than
she. She would be quite likely to do
something foolish with it.
LYDIA Moulton was twenty seven, a
wisp of thing with pale cheeks. sad
eyes. and lots of light hair She had
a twisted hip as the result of a child
sh fall. and she could not walk with
out leaning upon somebody's arm. her
aunt or uncle usually supported her.
She had lived with them for years, and
they regarded her as their own child

Lydia painted little things for an art

and calendars. She did not earn much,
but it kept her busy and happy.
She seemed not to have care in the

From the Philadelphta Telegraph.
I'm this war the rifle is toy. The
infantry soldier is used merely to oc-
cupy trenches that the artillery has
won."
That is the opinion Of a Russian Of
ficer on the Poland front. He reports
that seven-eighths of the men wound
ed in Galicia had been hti by shells.
Other observers in Europe think
this war will bring the end Of the rife
as an important weapon in war. Ger
many is said to be relying moro every
day on the machine gun to hold
trenches.
On this account the American army
need not throw away it's rifles. But
Congress and the War Department
should proceed theoretically with the
business of preparing unlimited SUPP
plies of artillery.
American yaior will not prevail
against Americas enemies unless 1t be
served with the most modern weapons.
The country must keep steadily In
mind that wars are now fought by ma

There is one drinking fountain-10th

mile post some coming year for a man
who is a boy today.
He is such a tiny tad of boy that

spring; not even when he used two
inadequate fists, and weighted the
spring with his small. Intellectual body
A passing man did the Samaritan
act, and the tad, having had his drink,
skipped off and forgot all about 1t.
But mother nature, who never lets the
smallest gnat of an incident get by,

In, a ball game played between Plum
Point and Camp Butt on the Plum
Point grounds. the Scout team turned
the tables on the Pointers and won
by the same score they lost by the
Tuesday before. The game was a much
harder one than the score shows. There
were only seven hits made during the
entire game, and four Of these were by
Camp Butt. The fielding of the Camp
team was rather loose at times, but
braced up in the pinches.
Mark Shoemaker. on the mound for
the Camp team, was very good, par
|ticularly in the pinches. The game was
won by the stickwork Of Lynch. Miller.

JUNEAU. March 2.-The message

Of Governor J. F. A. Strong was
read before the Territorial Legis-
lature this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
A joint session was held, attended by
% members of the House and
Senate.
The Governor recommended safety,
sanity, economy and carefulness in
the enacting Of laws.
He declared himself as favorable
to full Territorial form of govern
ment.
He believes in an adequate revenue
and taxation law, with taxes to be
paid by those who are most able,
particularly does he favor a proper
tax on canneries and other fisheries
He believes that the obnoxious
poll tax should be abolished.
He urges the enactment of the
Australian ballot law, with the
direct primary, and a corrupt prac-
tees act, to protect the purity of
elections. -.
A commission form of govern
ment for municipalities is recon-
mended for consideration.
The enactment of an eight-hour
law is favored, also a workmen's
compensation act if the Legislature
after Investigation believe that the
industries of the territory have
reached point to make it prac-
ticable.
The creation of the office of Attor-
ney General is opposed for the reason
that the Development Board bill
now before Congress provides for
this office, the salary to be paid by
the federal government.
The Governor finally deplores the
circumstances which limit the powers
of the Alaska Legislature, as it does
not even possess the same powers as
Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines,
or any previously organized terri
tories.
|
known as the Wickersham element
in Alaska has captured the organiza-
ton of both the Senate and House.
This was clearly demonstrated in
the fight for presiding officers. In
the Senate an uncertainty existed
right up until yesterday. There were
two candidates for president. Dan
Sutherland, Wickersham's campaign
manager, had the support of Gustad,
| Hubbard and himself. William
Sulzer, Democrat was supported by
Willard, Tanner and himself. The
unknown quantity was Senator AL
drich of Nome He threw his sup
port to Sutherland. The eighth
Senator, elected to succeed Senator
Bruner, deceased, is Thomas Nc
Cam, of Nome. He was the labor
candidate and was successful at the
election on February 81. He was
in Nome at the time and on Tuesday
started for the capital, but he will
likely consume 40 days in reaching
here, via Fairbanks and Cordova.
In the House the Wickershamites
have a safe working majority and
had but little difficulty in carrying
| through their slate, which included
the reelection of the former Speaker,
Ernest B. Collins. The following
are the officers selected in both
branches:
Senate
President-Dan Sutherland, of
Ruby.
Chief Clerk-A. E. Maltby, of
Iditarod.
