BOATS MADE OF MAHOGANY.
Carlbs Use This Wood for Ordinary
Building Purposes.
Over at the north end of the town,
In a valley sloping to the beach, U
the Carlli settlement. There are 200
or 300 huts, with their mud walls
and thatched roofs, and probably 1.000
Carlbs. There Is no better place
along Ihe whole coast to see and
study the Carlb. These people are
all dark, resembling our negroes, of
ten with strulghler hair, and with »
somewhat different cast of face In
the matter of cleanliness uml nttrac
tlveness, they are superior to the
average soulhern negro one sees on
the plantations or around the towns.
There are no neater people anywhere.
They would aaam to be workers.
The men are seldom found ns In
borers on the banana plantations.
1 hough they frequently cultivate small
yatches of their own. They are dock
laborers, boatmen, men oj all work,
sailors and all are fishermen. Every
Carlb has his mahogany dory, made
from the solid log by himself or some
of hi* forebears. The dory Is a print.*
requisite to Ihe coast Carlb. He will
seldom part with his boat. Ho would
sooner sell you bis child Most of the
dories are small, but occasionally they
are large enough to carry two or
three sail*. The way a Carlb handles
his boat In a rough sen Is worth u
trip to witness. Sometimes It upsets
with him. bui lie Is able to right It
with little trouble.
The women are great workers. They
help In all the work gather the wood,
cure the fish and everywhere you go
where there Is water you see a Carlb
woman washing clothes or carrying a
load of laundry on her head. It Is a
mystery where they find so many
cldtbes to wash. One thing Is certain,
the Carlb men. women and children
all wear clenn clothes, except the
boy of 6 or 6 years and under, who
doesn't wear any at all. The Carlb
women have a bowl or tray for their
head-carried burdens, handmade ol
mahogany, fro the root of the tree,
which Is Interesting Good specimen*
of these bowls, given the natural
wood polish, make fine ornaments or
souvenirs and travelers search for
them. They are not easy, however, to
obtain. It was a two hours' search,
a visit and a smoke with a half dosen
of the dusky owner* before two good
specimens could be found.—Travel

A BREACH OF
PROMISE CASE
Prominent Citizen charged
with Trifling with Lady’s
Affections.
For gome time, It Is alleged, one of
our prominent citizens has paid
more or less attention to a young
and beautiful lady of this city.
He now claims ihat he was not se
rious In his Intentions and lhat he
was not attached to her, but however,
lbat may have been the young Indy
became attached to him, and as he
seems to have lost Interest In the
matter she has attached his property,
which Is a form of, attachment, that
he does not enjoy.
The result is. that ho finds him
self the defendant In a first-class
breach of promise case and his ques
tionable attitude towards the Indy
will be given an airing In the near
future.
The parties in the case are so
prominent that it Is feared no court
room will hold the vast crowd desir
ous of attending the trial, so it will he
held In Walker Hall, on Thursday
i venlng. March lkili. under the aus
pices of the Young Men's Christian
association, for whose benefit the
proceeds will be devoted.
In other words, It will bo a mock
court trial, and It promises to be one
of the most enjoyable affairs of many
years, as a large number of our lead
ing people will participate In llio
proceedings.
The committee having the trial in
charge have engaged Col. A. V. New
ton. the well-known lawyer-lecturer
of Worcester, Mass., to attend to the
<|,-tails and personally conduct the
entertainment.
Col. Newton has had remarkable
success In conducting similar enter
tainments and without doubt the
Breach of Promise Trial will be herq,
as elsewhere, nn event long to bo re
membered with pleasure,
FORCE of habit.
"John.” said the cnsTih-r's wlfn, drop
ping Into the Imnk in tile midst of her
shopping trip, "you forgot to leave mo
Hint money this morning."
"Whnt name?" asked the cashier,
without looking up.
"Name! Name!” exclaimed the lady;
"I'm yin# wife."
"No doubt, no doubt." answered the
cashier, mechanically, and going on
with his writing: "but you will have
to bring someone to Identify you."
