INTERESTING SCENES OF DANISH
WEST INDIES.

The Sunday New York Times pub
fishes many beautiful scene of the
Danish West Indies in its pictorial
section of January 7, In most of
them the black natives are very prom
inent, not only as poor people, but as
members of the better class. Many
of them appear very handsome and
even among the natives there is a
distinct show of intelligence in their
faces. Two of the groups show an
indiscriminate mingling of the darker
and lighter races, something, we fear,
will be absent, now that the preju-
diced American assumes ownership
of the islands.
