Christopher Harrison Payne.

1t is our painful duty to chronicle the
demise Of our old and esteemed friend
Christopher H. Payne, which sad event
occurred at his home lat the early hours
of this morning. Mr.. Payne had been
confined to his house and almost to his
bed for about twelve months, suffering
from a lingering illness which he bore
with Christian resignatin and fOrtitude,
cherishing the hope that his hitherto ro-
bust constitution would eventually over
come the malady
But Providence decreed otherwise, for
in spite of careful medical assistance
and tender caring the fatal end came.
We knew Judge Payne for a long num-
Der of years and often came in close
touch with him. His peculiar character
istic of cheerfulness always struck US,
and he was ever ready to impart good
cheer at the proper moment. He lived so
long among US, that be practically be-
came one of us. and it was probably his
desire that his remains rest in peace
within the folds of Mother Earth in the
island wherein he had made his home.
Christopher Harrison Payne was born
at Red Sulphur Springs, West Virginia,
September 7, 1855. He had a varied ca
reer: starting first as a farmer, he abandon
ed that occupation for the pursuit of Law,
which he practised for some time in his
native state; then he felt calling for
the Church. and served as Clergyman do
ing in that capacity very effective work
in the regenerating of many who had
fallen astray. But Mr.. Payne's fame as
a persuasive orator caused him to be
courted by Politicians who in the end sue
ceeded in a~llisting his services for their
propaganda and cause, with the conse-
quent result that Judge Payne attained
much note during several campaigns Of
the Republican party within his state and

p0rtant measures. In 1903, he was al
pointed US. Consul in the tbenDanishW West
Indies and held that Office up to the time
of the transfer in 1917. During his ten
ure of office as Consul for the United

regards of the authorities and th@-om~

that he contributed much to bringing a

our people towards being annexed 10 the
United States, and a few years after the
transfer he was elected to the Colonial
Council for St. Thomas and St. Jan. In.

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.

WASHINGTON, March lS.-He-
of the financial struc-
ture of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway has been decided
upon by the Directors of the Pro-
tective Committee to cooperate with
the roads management. The draft
ing of the 'readjustment plan de-
cision affects the stockholders of
approximately s673,000,000 worth
of stocks and bonds and is due to
the inability to refund $48.0OO,OOO
worth of bonds maturing in June.
Back of the difficulties lies the
expensive extension of it's line to
the Pacific, inadequate revenues,
mounting cost of operation and de-
preston in the Pacific North west.
Trains were electrically propelled in
the mountains and other modern
engineering marvels were worked
out but with all of these, the rail
road did not pay the expected profit.
