ST. HELENA HAS A BOOM.
Don lrlonr of War Add Ufa and
Activity to tha Island.
Perhaps not since Napoleon waa'ian
Involuntary resident at St. Helena has
the tiland risen to no much promi
nence as It may now claim to enjoy.
For this reason the report of Gov,
Sterndalc, dated August. 1900, will bo
found of unusual Interest. The Im
ports have lumped from 34,385 In
1897, to 91.699 In 1899. and for 1900
a much larger Increase la anticipated.
Labor U In demand at good wages;
there is no want among the Indus
trious, and "It Is a pleasure to record,"
says the governor, "that, although
money has been nioro plentiful and
the temptations of the public houses
greater, serious crime has been absent
and petty crimes lees than in the pre
vious year. The cost of living has,
however, areatly Increased, and dur
ing the present year the prices of food
have doubled and quadrupled, so that
what used to be considered necessaries
of life, such as milk, butter, eggs and
nieat, are now luxuries, and the prln
clpel food of the poor, I. e.. fish, Is
both scarce and expensive. With the
Increased garrison and the great num
ber of prisoners of war, a large quan
tity of fiBh, which Is plentiful enough
In the sea, could profitably be dis
posed of daily were the people enor
getic enough to catch them. I have
always advocated a fishery company
here, worked by English capital and
labor, and had such a ono been start
ed as projected In 189C-1897, It would
have been reaping a golden harvest
just now, both In salted and fresh,
fish. The aspect of tho placo has,
greatly changed; Instead of the quiet
monotony of past years, Jamestown
Is a scene of noisy activity, and tha
perils of our roads are considerably
Increased by four-ln-hand mule wag
ons driven by reckless Kafllr boys."
Hlgheat rn In tha World.
The highest cross In the world is said
to be that which caps the peak of tha
Hartz mountains. The cross is, la
reality, a tower, and It commands a
magnificent view of the country
around. The height of the tower is
120 feet and It stands on a mountain
of 1,731 feet above the sea leveL A
stair of 200 steps leads to the top of
the cross, but there Is an elevator of
which people may avail themselves
who, for any reason, wish to avoid tha
long climb.
A Washington dispatch says: lit the
United States supremo court an
opinion nits handed down lit the east;
of Falrbank against the United States.
The case involved theconstlttttioiiallty
of the war reventtu law Imposing a tax
upon export billsof lading.
The court decided ngalnst the gov
ernment, holding that piovlslou of the
law unconstitutional. The opinion
was handed down by Justice Hrowor
and .Justice Harlan, Gray, W Itlto and
McKenua dissented.
The case Ciiine to the supreme court
fiom the United States district court
of Minnesota. The decision of that
court sustained the validity of the law
imposing a tax of 10 cents on export
billsof lading, Fairbauk being fined
825 for his stipposed olTcuse. He Is an
agent of the Northern Pacific road and
was convicted of violating the law lit
March, 1000, the speclllc charge being
that of issuing bills of lading ontvheat
to be exported to Kugland w Itliout at
taching the stamp to them as required
by law. The tax was resisted on the
ground that it violated the provision of
tho constitution requiring Unit "no tax
or duly shall be laid on articles ex-
ported from nnyother state."
