SENATOR LATIMER S TRIP.
He Writes of His Visit to thc Azores
and to Gibraltar.
'On Eoard Steamer Canopic,
In the Mediterranean Sea, May 29.
Mr. Editor: On Friday, May 24, our
party ianded at the Azores, spending
about ?ve hours at Ponta Del Gada,
the capita! of the islands and seat of j
the civil government. The place has j
a population of 18,000, and after Lis- j
bon and Oporto, is thc most import?
ant city of Portugal. Ponta Del Gada
is a remarkably clean city. Its houses
are well lighted, painted and white- j
washed. The streets, though present
ing a good appearance, are not very
wide, but are lighted with gas and :
electricity. Plenty of good water is
piped through the houses.
Situated in the middle of the Atlan?
tic ocean, the Azores ofter a most
agreeable and convenient stopping
place between the old and new worlds, j
"The Azores were discovered by Por- j
tugese navigators some 50 or 75 years J
before Columbus discovered America.
The fact that large, hawk like birds J
were seen co fly westward from the j
coast of Portugal and not return led
to the discovery of the islands, and
the name, Azores, means hawk in the
Portugese language. The islands are
all volcanic, though it is said that St.
Marie give.' some evidence of regular
geological formation. The mineral
spring on St. Michael is regarded as
possessing wonderful properties, and
many inte: est.ng stories are related
by tourists cf the healing power of
the water. The travelers' visit to these
islands, emerging as i.hey do abrupt?
ly from the coe an, with their sharp
volcanic peales. lava cut valleys, lux?
uriant vegetation, charming land?
scapes and delightful climate, is ren?
dered doubly pleasant by the hospital?
ity and kirdness of the inhabitants.
The climate is temperate and mild,
due to the high altitude and influence
of the sea.
The vigor, abundance and variety
ot the products, and the careful till?
age of the land, make the fields look
like garden. Large farms are not
seen; the land is let in small lots and
at short terms, and each tenant is
striving to make the largest yield pos?
sible. The principal field crops are
corn, wheat, rye barley and potatoes.
Grapes, oranges and pineapples have
brought large revenues to the islands,
but of recent years disease has at?
tacked the orchards and vineyards
and has destroyed much of the profit
from this source. Pineapples are
grown under cover.
The most important local indus?
try" at present is the manufacture of
alcohol from potatoes. There are
three factories: they are large and
well equipped, producing annually
about two million gallons. There are
three tobacco factories, the total an?
nual product being about fifty-five
million pounds. The local manufac?
ture of clothes is limited to home?
spuns, with the exception of two
small factorises in Ponta Del Gada
where towels, shawls, etc., are made.
The commerce of the islands is
carried on chiefly with Portugal, Eng?
land, the United States, Brazil, Ger?
many and France. The principal ex?
ports are alcohol, pineapples, oranges,
tobacco, beans, whale oil, vegetables,
hides, butter, potatoes, fire clay, etc.
Within the past few years experi?
ments have been made in growing tea.
and there is a good promise of suc?
cess.
The chief imports besides the gen?
eral manufactured goods are sugar,
coffee, rice, tea petroleum, tobacco,
salts leather, glass, lumber, etc.
Our visit to the Azores was interest?
ing ?n many ways, and very enjoyable
all the way through
On Monday, the 27th. at noon, vre
swung into the bay of Gibraltar, un?
der the gun-pierced, frowning front of
the world renowned fortress of Gi?
braltar. This formidable rock rises
tb a height of 1295 feet, and though
we know it bristles with the most for?
midable guns, yet so cunningly zxe
the defenses planted that only two
guns are visible, those on the highest
points of the rock. A fussing little
tender took the first class passengers
from the steamer to what is known as
the Old Mole, built in the fourteenth
century, and after we had walked a
few yards in the hot Gibraltar sun we
decided that a carriage was a neces?
sity, and spent the remainder of the
afternoon in :he comfortable little
coaches with which the town swarms,
and which are hired at reasonable
rates. Gibraltar, though under the
British flag, ls peopled by Spaniards,
Hebrews. Moors and men of all na?
tionalities. We drove curiously
through the narrow streets past the
shops, to the guard of the garrison,
where, after satisfying the officer of
the day that we had no cameras., we
were taken by a guard through what
are known as the north galleries,
which are long tunnels cut. in the sol?
id rock behind the north face. These
galleries, curiously enough, are con- ;
nected with American history, for at
the time we were keeping England
busy with the Revolution, the French
beseiged Gibraltar for four years, and
an English sergeant devised this sys- ?
tem of rock galleries, which burned a j
useless rock into the most formidable ?
fortification in the world. For possi- ?
bly o-er a mile these galleries run
back and forth behind the face of the ?
rock, loop-holed at short intervals for
great guns. Looking through one of
these embrasures one sees before him
on the left the Bay of Gibraltar, on
the right the Mediterranean and in
front the narrow isthmus which forms
the only communication from the rock
tc the mainland. It would be no more
than child's play for 500 men to keep
at bay an entire army. The only way
Gibraltar could be taken would be by
starving out the defenders, and even
this might fail for we were told that
there is at all times kept on hand
stores and provisions to last the sol?
diers for fourteen years. Only Brit?
ish subjects are allowed to visit the
top of the rock, and there are por?
tions of the rock which not even they
are allowed in.
Leaving the garrison, we drove
down the narrow steep streets to th?
Alameda Gardens, where beautiful
flowers grow in wild yet ordered pro?
fusion, and the gardeners offer you
your choice as to kimi and amount
for any small coin. From the gardens
w<- went to th- great dock yards,
which the government maintains for
the fleet, and where under the grim
guns of the fortr -ss the can assem?
ble, maintain and repair ns many of
their ships as they please. The dry
dock in this navy yard is said to be
one of the largest in the world.
Corning from the dry dock back to?
ward the town ? was interested to ob?
serve in the little cemetery the name
of Latimer on the headstone at the
grave of the child of an English lieu?
tenant. We drove back into what
might be called the shopping district,
for the purpose or permitting the la?
dies of the party to see what the
?tocks and stores were like, but
though we went into many we bought
little, as the prices were not enough
better than those in the United States
to be especially tempting.
Gibraltar is a great fortress, and
each nation which has held it has left
traces of its occupancy. The Moorish :
castle still stands, though possibly a j
thousand years old. and the old Moor- j
ish wall divides the rock from base
to summit right by the modern signal '
station of the British. The old Spanish
wall still stands, and by the south port,
alongside the old gateway surmount?
ed by the arms of Spain stands a new
gateway with the arms of Great Brit?
ain. We enjoyed our trip :hrough the
town under the Friti h -lag. but with
citizens of all nationalities, and came
away impressed, as all must be. with
the strength of this natural fortress
over which the British flag has waved
now for more than two centuries.
The commercial importance of Gi?
braltar is comparatively small now.
but at one time it was quite large. In
1S22-24 the value of the imports of
cotton and woolen goods alone
amounted to $1.250,000. but from
that year the trade declined. The
amount of shipping has increased,
but this is due to the extension of
mercantile transactions through the
Mediterranean. Fortunately in the
days of sailing vessels Gibraltar was
a great entrv port for goods which
were intended for distribu? on not only
along the neighboring coast, but to
the remotest corners of the Mediter?
ranean and Black seas. Now steam
and ships of larger tonnage carry
cargoes direct, to the ports of destina?
tion without trans-shipment. Gibral?
tar, therefore, as a station of commer?
cial importance has declined, but as a
coaling station and a port for the
protection and convenience of the
mercantile marine of the Mediterra?
nean, Spain; Morocco, it is of great
importance.
i We are due at Naples at 8 o'clock
tomorrow morning. The trip contin?
ues pleasant and uneventful. All of
i the party are well, but rather tired
i of life on board ship. We shall be
glad to put foot on land again. Re
! spectfully, A. C. Latimer.

Every Man His Own Doctor.
*The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for ever> slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to ne?
glect them, as so slight an injury as
the scratch of a pin has been known
to cause the loss of a limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
