dents, was charged with the lynching
of Calvin Hal! and his sons, brought
in a verdict of acquittal. Two ballots
were taken. On the first, one juror
vo:ed for conviction and one voted

The last census showed that- there
were in the whole country, 5,427,767
bachelors, tgainst 3,224,494 rmnst'era
an excess of 63 per cent of bachelors
over the unmarried women. .There
was not any state in the Union that
did not Lave more huchplnra ).n,f
single women, even Massachusetts
exhibited a small fractional overplus
of unattached males of marriageable
age. To account for this situation of
affairs it was explained that the mass
of population of each state being pair
ed off by marriage ivenly as between
the sexes, only a relatively small frac
tion of single persons old enough to
marry was left over. In most states
the male part of this fraction was
much iu excess of the female part.
And it must also I remembered that
women marry much younger tliKn
men.

Porto Rico Letter.
The Chieftain- takes pleasure in
being permitted to publish siveral
l iters that were written by Miss
v E. Grave?, a sister of Mrs. Henry
Miller of this city, whom many of our
readeis will remember as having vis
ited here last year. Miss Graves left
New York lust September, and has,
therefore, Wen on the island several
months. She is one of the two n en
tailed as being nearly seventy years
old.
The steamship "Maraeibo" of ti e
Red D. Line bound for Torto Rico and
South Africa, left Brooklyn pier No.
10 at noon Saturday, September 21st.
1901, amid tilt? usual bustle and wav
ing of handkerchiefs which attends
the departure of a vessel for a foreign
port.
Among the fifty-nine passengers on
board were twenty teachers for some
of the two hundred schools scluduled
to be opened iu Porto Rico this year.
Tiie other passengers were booked for
variousdestiiuUions. Two gentlemen,
Mr. Pennock and partner, were going
O'lt to buy a large tract of land not
far from San Juan for the purpose of
raising oranges, pine apples and gg
plant for the New York market. An
other, a man from Florida was intent
on raising oranges only. Others were
seeking homes in the new country.
A mother with her two daughters was
seeking in that warmer lime health
for the one whose delicate lungs
would not permit her to live in colder
latitudes. A few were soldiers return
ing to their commands after furloughs
spent with friends in the north, and
their grumbles were frequent and au
dible. Some were going to South
Africa and elsewhere to assured po
sitrons, others were seeking fortune,
adventure or pleasure.
Like the scriptural, poor whom
we have always with us, we also have
a romance with us, if we have eyes to
see. And this voyage was no excep
tion, for the dear little Irish maiden
who shared our stiterooni, was going
out to Porto Rico to marry the young
German who the year before had
bought his small farm and built his
little home in the beautiful island and
would welcome her to it, after a weeks
visit with friends in San Juan, und
the wedding.
The first two or three days out
were very stormy, so much so that
some experienced voyagers had to
succumb to sea sickness and the decks
were practically deserted, but by Wed
nesday morning the sea had resumed
its calm, and proverbial democratic
procivilties of a steamer's deck were a
gain verified, for before a day had
passed I venture to buy there were
very few of the fifty-nine who did not.
know everybody on board, where he
hailed from, his destination, and his
prospective business.
Home of the teachers were experien
ienced educators and had iu mind
plans for the improvement of schools
and people, but largely iu the major
ity were young girls, inexperieiienl
but plucky, going from the overcrowd
ed school markets of the north to
"green, fields and pastures new," where
the chances of success aie. greater to
the hopeful eyes of youth at least.
Awl to illustrate the serene acquisi-
iveness with which the average
Yantee. seizes upon anything which
promises solid results, two old ladies
nearing the seventies were going to
Porto Rfco, one already a toucher of a
year's experience in the island, the
other a friend going out with the first
ready to avail herself of anything
promising.
The steamer drew near hr destina
tion with no untoward event and the
last evening on board a very pleasant
time was bad by those so lately n, tt
so soon tii part. Groups of business
men or teachers here and there dis
cussing value mid prospects or other
subjects. Young people in couples
promenaded the decks or leaned over
the rail in earnest, conversation. A
company of- rather hilarious young
men amidships sang songs or made
speeches. Far forward some one play
ed the piano and others essayed a
waltz, amid mueh merry laughter jut
the, roHing of thfl" vessel caused fre-
quent collisions, and over all. the

The following is the production o(

public school, of this citv:

When the Sun reaches the Equator
and the days and nights are equal.
The first thing for which we look
in this season, is the Equinoctial
storm, after which conies the Apr.l
rains gently falling on the sleeping
earth to wake and prepare her for the
glorious summer.
We delight to see the springing
grass, the leafing tree, and the swell
ing buds, Jill combined to make the
spring so beautiful.
.We hail with joy, the first spring
flowers, blooming near mother earth.
We usually look foij buttercups
first, then yellow-bells, blue. bells,
anemones and all other little blossoms
which follow in succes.'-ion through
out the spring. Well has it been said
"April showers bring May flowers."
The gradual lengthening of days,
the slowly warming weather, the fresh
air and sunny blue skies, make us all
long to be out of doors to enjoy all
of the beautiful weather nd inhale
the strengthening' atmosphere to
make us stronger mid more healthful,
We are not inclined to study in the
springtime, and I suspect this is a
great trial to our teachtrs, who want
us to learn all we can. It is a source
of annoyance to our parents, who
want us to help them, hut we wculd
rather be away tramping over the
hills looking for the dear little (lower
children. The little lambs as they
gambol in the fields and over the hills
fill tii with delight. We deem it a
great pleasure to have one for a jut.
The farmers are all busy iu the
spring, tilling the ground for the sow
ing of grain. We love to watch the
tiny green shoots as the fir-it appear
above ground, growing from day to
day, till they get larger and stronger
and turn from a dark green to a gold
en brown. In the sugar maple groves
of our country men .ire als busy, tap

it in great kettles to slowly boil down
tosyru. Hom of this syrup is then
put away to keep for the next winter,
when we enjoy a treat of pancakes
and maple syrup. Home of the syrup
is aho taken and boiled down, becom
