Irresistible fascination? 1t is a little
question to ask, but a big one to
answer. TOO big for a little CORE

Dard deck.
Early Morning Arrival
EARLY morning found us sailing in
o our twenty-five million dollar har-
oor. under the guns of an American
transport. We were crested by many
small boats manned by colCred st.
Thomains who addressed us in very
British English and solicited our
transport.
One of them had ingeniously
named his boat the Liberty" 1--WE
are free men now, sir! We have
gained our freedom. They evident

they never have reason to DOUBT II.
They came under the flag practical
ly at the same time we declared war
Not an suspicious beginning. May
they live to see a better world,
purged in part of selfishness by the
blood of those who will have to die
for the cause of liberty.
No one can doubt the value Of the
harbor at st. Thomas. 1t is really
three harbOrs in one separated by
necks of land 1t is admirably pro-
tected by natural promontories and
lies almost landlocked.
This harbor was early appreciated
by navigators and reached the height
of it's commercial supremacy in the
days of the sailing vessel. Here all
ships bound for the West indies
made harbor. 1t was the first port
of call in the new world and the last
port of departure for the old.
Flags of All Nations
Many ships discharged cargo here
and the immense stores of the city

docks and the front doors on the
main street, a good long block away.

RIsroRTEB THAT sUEBaERS ARE
BARRED FROM JUNCTION CITY


The report was brought to Manhat-
tan yesterday afternoon by soldiers
from FIT. Riley that an order had been
issued by Major General Wood for
bidding soldiers to go to Junction
City, effective today, the 18th.
General Wood is quoted as having
said that he did not propose to have
"the boys" fighting the battles of
people who are trying to rob them
and to have issued the order because
of the extraordinary high prices some
Junction City merchants are charg-
ing the soldiers.
1t is said that most of the trouble
arises from prices charged by the
boomer" strangers who have come
into that city temporarily to get rich
off the soldiers, and not from any &C
tons of the better-class merchants.
IL is known that Knostman's and
Coles of this city and Junction City
are charging the same prices in juno
ton City to soldiers that they do
anyone else.-Manhattan Mercury.
