The Danish West Indies.
Possess Interest at This Time.
The Danish West Indies are part of the
Virgin islands, a group of thirty-four
small bodies of land, all but two belonging
to Great Britain. The Danish islands are
St, Thomas and St. John, of the Virgin
group, and St. Croix, which lies to the
southwest. and is the largest and most fer-
tile of the three. - St. Thomas harbor is
one of the best in the West Indies, and at
one time was a great centre of trade, but
its importance has greatly diminished
since 1870.
The Virgin islands were discovered by
Columbus in 1493, and St. Thomas was
first colonized by the Dutch a century and
a half later. St. Croix, or, as it is usually
called, Santa Cruz, was settled by -the
Dutch in 1625, and later small settlements
were made at St. Thomas, but the Dutch
left to go to New York, and St. Thomas was
occupied by the Danes in 1671, and St.
John’s in1719. The orginal settlements
were made by the Danish West India and
Guinea company. Santa Cruz was bought
from the French in 1733, and the control
of the entire group passed under the con-
trol of the King of Denmark in 1734,
The early history of these islands is re-
plete with the power of the buccaneers,
who ravaged merchant vessels plying in
the Spanish Main, but who were gradually
expelled, as the islands in turn received
stable governments. They followed the
decline of Spanish authority, and were, in
fact, instrumental in expelling the Span-
iards. Their career covered almost the
entire seventeenth century, and supported
as they were by the white residents of the
islands, in there warfare against Spain, it
is not too much to say that they were de-
serving of some praise and admiration.
St. Thomas owed its great prosperity
during the ext two centuries to its neu-
tral position. The nations which had a
foothold in the West Indies were almost
continually at war,and the land locked com-
modious harbor of St Thomas, a free port,
reaped the great harvest of uninterrupted
trade. Merchant vessels, men-of-war,
pirates and privateers met on an equal
footing there. to trade and to purchase sup-
plies for the merchants. But such an arti-
ficial condition declined with the succeed-
ing years of peace, and with it the trade
that had made many fortunes.
The entire group has an area of 133
square miles, and a population of about
32,000. St. Thomas has an area of about
twenty-three square miles and a popula-
tion of 12,000 most of whom reside at
Charlotte Amalie, the capital and sea-
port. Once the island was devoted to the
culture of cane sugar, but the acreage has
steadily decreased, and the town is now
practically dependent on its business as a
port of call and coaling station. There are
several deposits of copper and manganese
near Charlotte Amalie, which give some
promise of future wealth. French, Ger-
man, English and American steamship
lines make St. Thomas a regular port of
call, and each maintains coaling stations.
St. John has an area of forty-two square
miles, but has a population of under 900,
aud is virtually ruined. St. Croix, the
largest island, with an area of seventy-four
square miles, is well cultivated, but its
output of sugar, rum and molasses is much
less now than in recent years. Its capital
is Christiansted, the other principal town
being Freiderichsted. There aremno har-
bors at St. Croix, the two towns being on
open roadsteads, approached over treach-
erous shoals. In striking contrast to St.
Thomas, the island is flat and rolling, in-
stead of hilly.
The town of Charlotte Amalie, viewed
from the harbor, is one of the most attrac-
tive sights in the West Indies. It is built
along the water’s edge, rising upon three
ridges, a delightful mass of pink roofs, yel-
low and light blue houses, nestling among
the green hills, overlooking a sheet of deep
blue water. Fort Christian, a relic of by-
gone centuries, lies on the waterfront, and
is garrisoned by native troops. Near it is
a handsome barracks, occupied by a com-
pany of Danish troops. The town proper
is well laid out, and presents a prosperous
appearance. Everywhere are gardens, a
mass of colored flowers and tall green
palms.
St. Croix does not resemble St. Thomas,
as it is low and flat. It is well cultivated,
and produces large quantities of sugar,
molasses and rum. Trade is greatly handi-
capped by the absence of a harbor, and all
shipments must be made from the beach
to vessels lying in shoal open roadsteads.
Many interesting sights are to be seen at
St. Croix, old Moravian chapels and a pic-
turesque graveyard at Christiansted. An
odd but attractive method of decorating
graves consists of conch shells set in a bed
of concrete, the deep pink of the conchs
making a vivid contrast to the pearl gray
of the concrete.
St. Thomas owes its present trade to its
position as a ‘‘free port,’”’ and it has been
for years a most important coaling
station. English, American, French and
German lines all maintain coal wharves,
and a prosperous business is done in im-
porting coal. There is a large floating dry
dock in the harbor. Being a free port, St.
Thomas has for years ocoupied a position
of great importance in the manufacture of
Jamaica rom, bay rum and Florida water,
large quantities being imported from other
islands and then exported. This trade
Some Historical and Other Facts Which Should:
will be lost by coming under the Ameri-
can flag, and even free trade with the
United States will not be of great assist-
ance.
As a straegical port, St. Thomas could be
easily fortified, but, it is not so well adapt-
ed for defence as the English hase at Port
Castries, St. Lucia, the “Gibraltar of the
West Indies.”” It is, however, of great
importance, as the island controls the An-
geda Passage from the Atlantic ocean to
the Caribbean sea.
The climate of the Danish West Indies
is not as hot as would be imagined, as the
northeast trade winds greatly mitigate the
severity of the sun. The nights are usual-
ly cool, with a fresh sea breeze.
Communication between St. Thomas and’
St. Croix is maintained by two mail
schooners, the Vigilant and the American.
The former, which makes excellent time,
is said to be the oldest vessel in active
trade. She was built in Boston, Mass,.
in 1781, and has been under the Danish
flag for a century. The America. is refer-
red to by the islanders as the ‘‘new boat,’
as she is only about 70 years old.
The sentiment of the inhabitants of the
island in general may be said to be op-
posed to the change of the government,
except in St. Croix, which will be benefit,
ed hy free trade with this country. St-
Thomas will not, however, reap this benefit.
as it is a trading port, not a producing port,
having gained its present position owing to
its having been the great distributing point
in the Lesser Antilles. No trouble need
be anticipated, however, as the best think-
ing people are peaceful, and have long
looked forward to union with the United
States. A. B. B., Jr.—Philadelphia Ledg-

Have You Used Them.
Odd Phrases and Expressions and How They
Qriginated.
Dr. Horne, the editor of the National
Educator, has compiled the following in-
teresting notes : ‘‘To feel in apple-pie
order” is a phrase which dates back to
Puritan times—to a certain Hephzibah
Merton. It seems that every Saturday she
was accustomed to bake two or three dozen
apple pies, which were to last her family
through the coming week. These were
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day of the week, so that
Tuesday’s pies might not be confused with
Thursday’s nor thosé presumably large or
intended for washing and sweeping days
eaten when household labors were lighter.
Aunt Hephzibah’s ‘‘apple-pie order’’ was
known throughout the entire settlement,
and originated the well known saying.
It was once customary in France, when
a. guest had outstayed his welcome, for the
host to serve a cold shoulder of mutton,
instead of a hot roast. This was the origin
of the jhrace, ‘‘To give the cold shoulder.”
That far from an elegant expression ‘‘To
kick the bucket,” is believed to have orig-
inated in the time of Queen Elizabeth,
when a shoemaker named Hawkins com-
mitted suicide by placing a bucket on a
table in order to raise himself high enough
to reach a rafter above, then kicking away
the bucket on which he stood.
“When the Spanish armada came to the
coasts of England, many of the ships were
driven by the fierce attack of Drake and
Howard and the fury of the elements north
to the Helder river and south to the Skele-
ter river—the Schledt—hence the expres-
sion ‘‘helter skelter.”’
“‘Go to Halifax!’ That town was a
place of special terror for rogues becanse of
the first rude guillotine invented there by
Manuaye for chopping off felons’ heads.
Halifax law was that the criminal ‘‘should
be condemned first and inquired upon
after.”
To ‘‘dun’’ a man for debt comes from
the memory of Joe Dun, bailiff of Lincoln,
who was so keen a collector that his name
has become a proverb.
“By hook and by crook’ is an allusion
to an ancient manorial enstom, which per-
mitted the neighboring poor to take all the
wood that they could reach and pull down
from the forest trees, using only their shep-
herds crooks.
To ‘‘have the gift of gab’ means the gift
of the (use of the) mouth, ‘‘gab’’ beiug the
Scotch word for mouth.
“Scot’’ means tax. To ‘‘go scot free,’’
therefore, really means tax free, and hence,
generally, to get off without the impos of
any tax or forfeiture, to escape entirely
from any evil consequences of one’s act.
‘Hold the fort.”” In October, 1864,
Allatoona Pass, a defile in the mountains
of Georgia, was guarded by General Corse
with 1,500 men. It was a strong stragetic
point, and moreover, 1,500,000 rations
were stored there. Fresich, the Southern
general. with 6,000 men, attacked the gar-
rison, and drove the defenders into a small
fort on the crest of the hill. The battle
was fierce; the Northern soldiers fell in
such numbers that further fighting seemed
folly. But one of Crose’s officers caught
sight of a white signal flag fluttering the
breeze on the top of the Kenesaw Moun-
tain, across the valley, filteen miles away.
The signal was answered, and then came
the inspiring message from mountain to
mountain : ‘‘Hold the fort; I am com-
ing—W. T. Sherman.”” Cheer after cheer
went up, and though hopelessly reduced in
numbers, they did hold the fort for hours
until the advance guard of Sherman’sarmy
came to their relief. Six years later P. P.
Bliss, the evangelist, heard the story in
all its vivid detail from a soldier friend
and then wrote words and musicof this
famous hymn.
‘Dog days’’ are so called from Sirius,
the most brilliant of the fixed stars in the
head of the constellation Canis Major or
the Greater Dog, and include the period
from July 3rd to August 11th. During
this period this star and the sun rise with-
in the same hour and the ancients who
worshipped the dog attributed the existence
of summer to the influence of this constel-
lation—a superstition which has been per-
petuated to the present day in the use of
the term.
John D Lankenaw’s Fortune for Char-
Atty. :
John D. Lankenau, a philanthropist
and a member of the Drexel family, who
died last week and was burried on Tues-
day, left about $1,500,000. to be divided
ually between the German hospital, of
Philadelphia, and the Mary J. Drexel
home for aged patients of the hospital.
The estate is estimated to be worth a
little more than $1,500,000. Paintings
valued at $150,000 are bequeathed to the
Drexel institute, fonnded by Anthony J.:
Drexel, and about $50,000 is divided
among surviving relatives of the deceased.
Mr. Lankenan was president of the hoard
of trustees of the German hospital and was
the founder of the Drexel home. :

Touched Live Wire and Died.
Cain Threw His Head Back to Laugh When
He Received Full Force of 2,400 Volts.—
Flames From His Mouth.
While sitting in the power house of the
New York and Staten Island Electric com-
pany at Livingston, N. Y., early Sunday
morning talking to a friend, Cornelius
Cain, the night machinist in the plant,
was instantly killed by accidentally touch-
ing a live wire, 2,400 volts passing through
his body.
Cain had been walking about the build-
ing through the night, and about three
o'clock in the morning sat down on the
casting for a new engine which is being
installed, and began talking with Thomas
McFarland, an oiler of Prospect avenue,
Port Richmond. The casting was lying
close to the brick wall of the building and
directly back of Cain’s head were the
wires which supply the currents for the
arc lights. These were fastened on small
porcelain knobs, which project about an
inch or two from the side of the building,
and are carefully insulated. When Cain
sat down the wires were carrying the full
load of about 2,400 volts.
When Cain was talking to McFarland
the latter it is said, feeling tired, dozed off
into a light sleep, and awakened suddenly
and looked about the room. Cain broke
into a laugh and threw his head back. As
he did so the back of his head came in con-
tact with the heavily charged wires. In-
stantly there was a brilliant flash, and the
flames seemed to come out of Cain’s mouth
and before McFarland or the other work
men in the plant could raise a hand Cain
fell to the floor dead. McFarland looked
at him for a moment and then fell to the
floor in a faint. .
Thomas Riley, of Bement avenue, West
Brighton, and George Kirk, of Port Rich-
mond, had witnessed the accident.
They picked up Cain’s lifeless body and
carried.it to one side. It was fully an
hour before McFarland gained con-
sciousness. He was completely unnerved
and went from one swoon to another.
When Cain’s body was picked up there
was still a smile on his lips. The body
was removed to the home of the unfortu-
nate man, on Columbia street, West Brigh-
ton. Cain was married and leaves a wife
and several children. .
It is supposed that when Cain’s head
touched the wires they in turn came in
contact with the brick wall of the building
which was slightly damp, and - the casting
on which Cain was seated completed a cir-
out, causing the current to pass through
the body.
Home Liquors Come Back.
Whisky Shipped from
Much Improved.
America is Reported,
Two Lundred and fifty barrels of whisky
were cleared at the Kansas City Customs
port recently. Although it came from
abroad, the liquor was made in Kentucky,
and its return to this country throws a lit-
tle light upon the practices which grow
out of laws governing customs. Congress
tampered with these laws a great deal, and
finally decided that: whisky reimported
might remain in warehouses three years be-
fore the tax is paid. When a new custom
law was passed some time ago great quan-
tities of liquor were sent out of the coun-
try in order to avoid the immediate pay-
ment of taxes. This law was repealed and
a measure allowing a leeway of time was
substituted for it. :
Dealers do not object to an extra ocean
trip or two for whisky. It does the liquor
a great deal of good to be rolled and tossed
about in a heavy sea. When the whisky
comes back home it is greatly improved
and worth more money.
A member of the Morrin-Powers Mer-
cantile Company said the other day that a
large shipment of English ale was oncesent
to India. For some reason the ale was re-
turned to the maker,and when a bottle of it
was openad it was found that the beverage
was much better than wheu it was started
for the first ocean trip. From that time it
became the practice of these manufactures
of ale to send their product across the
water two or three times merely for the
purpose of improving it thereby. Great
quantities of the ale are shipped as ballast
and the freight is therefore small. A pop-
ular brand is marked ‘XXX’. This
means that it has bad three ocean shakings
and is better than the ale that has always
stayed at home.
Walker Gave the Horse Away.
‘J. Brisban Walker has one of the most
adventurous natures of any man of impor-
tance I know,’’said Harvey Wells, of Den-
ver, who is at the Savoy. ‘‘When Walker
was remaking a mile or so of river front in
Denver that he later turned into a fine
park a sudden rise of the Platt washed
away a lot of things, including the ground
from under a stable on the improvement
Walker was making. When Walker came
on the scene to look over the damage done
ahorse that had been in the stable was
submerged and in danger of being smother-
ed in the quicksand and rolling mud that
the angry waters made of the half-prepared
new ground. Walker asked several men
to go and help the horse. When they re-
fused he started laying planks along the
treacherous ground, just as they do to get
drowning persons from out an icy river.
In a short time he was in a position where
a false step means an even chance for life
or death. He got both the horse and him-
gelf out of the scrape. Then he turned
around and discharged every man on the
job, and wound up by giving the horse
away.’
Strychnine Sent in Candy.
Plot to Kill
Legacy.
Mrs. Myra Priest, a waiter in a restaun-
rant in Deadwood, S..D., is under arrest
for attempted murder. She has a dangh-
ter aboat 14 years old, who has heen adopt-
ed by a Mrs. Vener, who resides near
Whitewood.
Mrs. Vener is wealthy, and had promis-
ed to leave to the little girl all her proper-
ty. To hasten this end, it is alleged, the
mother of the girl sent a box of candy sat-
arated with strychnine to the little girl,
with instructions for her to not eat any of
it herself, but to give it to Mrs. Vener,
which was done. . .
The woman ate of the candy and was at
once taken sick. Her life was saved by a
physician.
Wealthy Woman to Hasten a

A report from Forkville, near Williams-

cattle there to an alarming extent. A score

brother, who removed a hide from one of
the dead cattle, contracted the disease and

The Negro Population.
Census Figures Make its Increase About One
Per Cent a Year.
At the close of the Revolutionary War,
there were 750,000 colored people in the
United States, of whom 55,000 were free
blacks and 695,000 slaves. At each succes-
sive enumeration the colored population of
the United States bad grown until 1860,
when it was 4,500,000-500,000 free and 4,-
000,000 slaves.
It was at this period that the controversy
arose as to whether (moral, ethical, and
political questions apart) the growth of the
colored population was promoted or retard-
ed by the institution of slavery While it
was in progress, and by the next decen-
nial census taken in 1870, the color-
ed population was returned—all free—
as 4,880,000, a gain of less than one per
cent. over the preceding ten years and in-
dicating (freedom was not conducive tothe
growth of population among colored people
of the country or that the enumeration of
them was imperfectly taken.
Whatever the cause may have been by
the next succeeding census of 1880 the col-
ored population of the country was 6,580,-
000 a gain of thirty five per cent. in ten
years. It was declared by some critics,
however, that the census of the colored
population was padded. Color was given
to the charge by the fact that the 1890 cen-
sus showed the colored population of the
country to be 7,470,000, a gain of only
thirteen per cent. over the preceding cen-
sus.
Last year’s enumeration shows the col-
ored population to be 8,500,000, the ratio
of increase being very much the largest in
the extreme Southern States. The increase
of the colored population appears to be fix-
ed at ahout one per cent. a year.
Hogg, in Oil, May Rival Rockefeller.
Is ex-Governor J. S. Hogg, of Texas,
to be a rival of John D. Rockefeller and his
Standard Oil monopoly ? The latest dis-
patches would almost furnish an affirma-
tive answer to this. Mr. Hogg is now ex-
tensively interested in the Beaumont oil
field, and he will sail shortly for London,
where he proposes to float a company
with a capital of $25,000,000. This wealth
is to be used to construct an immense sys-
tem of pipe lines, operate oil tank steam-
ships and generally compete with Mr.
Rockefeller’s Oil Trust in the marketing of
‘fuel oil. It is within the memory of most
people now alive that the time does not go
very far back when the present oil king
began his struggle which finally made him
the richest man in the world. Governer
Hogg is a middle-aged man, and he may
succeed in taking his place by the side of
his big commercial brother as one of the
great factors in the oil industry.
Boy of 9 Earns $500.
Elmer Chester Hazelrigg, of Decatur, Ill,
is barely nine years old, and has earned
over $500. Most of this is invested in busi-
ness that he is now carrying on unaided by
his parents.
The lad got a financial start when six
years old. A neighbor let him have the
milk from a cow. This he sold, and in
about a year he had saved enough to buy a
cow. Before long he had three cows.
Last summer he sold two cows and went
into the gardening business. He made
over $100 that season. He did nearly all
of the work in the garden and peddled the
vegetables he raised. He ownsa horse
and wagon.
