[Note by Dorothy Kew: Back in 1997 I wrote to Donald Lindo in Jamaica, concerning a photograph I had in my possession which had the stamp, but was not otherwise identified. I sent along a scan of the photo, front and back, in the hope that he could at least identify the possible date of the photo (I thought it might be of one of mother's older sisters.) Donald turned it over to David Boxer at the National Gallery of Jamaica.

David Boxer wrote me back on January 20, 1998 and I still have his letter, in which he stated:

"I am currently researching Jamaican phonography studios, and to date have come across eight different 'stamps' for John Cleary. All of these would have been used before Elliott became a full partner and had his name incorporated into the firm. A problem in dating however exists. Two different dates have been put forward for the creation of the firm Cleary and Elliott. One is 1890 and the other is 1906. As I have (alone) stamps that continue into the first World War, my feeling is that both dates are incorrect. I believe that Elliott joined the firm as an apprentice in 1906 but that he did not become a full partner until c. 1915-18. My earliest known stamp is dated 1883 while my earliest stamp is dated 1918.

Your stamp is I believe relatively late for Cleary alone and was probably used c. 1900-1910.

For some time after Cleary's death in 1924 Elliott changed the name to, but then reverted to the nomenclature which continued well into the 1950s"

I would say that based on the advertisement in the Gleaner Cleary began his photographic studio in September of 1881, earlier than David Boxer thought.]

Messrs. Desnoes' premises in Port Royal Street , the scene of the fire on Tuesday night, were closed about noon yesterday. A very large quantity of water had been thrown into the building, but the walls and floorings do not appear to have sustained much damage. The destruction of liquor, chiefly, we understand, in bottles prepared for the Christmas season, was, however, serious. Several rum puncheons exploded. On arriving down town many merchants occupying stores in the vicinity were loud in their complaints as to the failure to announce the fire from the Parish Church in the usual way.

The Governor has been pleased to appoint Joseph Solomon Marchalleck, Esq., to be Notary Public for the Parish of Saint Thomas.

The Governor has been pleased to make the following appointments: --

At his late residence, no. 59 Harbour Street, John Hugg, late merchant of Colon.

The "Jamaica Gazette" of yesterday contains a list of persons qualified to practice medicine and surgery in Jamaica. We do not see in it the names of Messrs. Pairman and Mayner.

[It seems that Mr. Pairman, who was married to Josephine Marie Louise Magnus, daughter of Simon Magnus of Montego Bay, claimed to be a physician but was not qualified to practise. He was involved in the case of a child, Annie Beckett, who subsequently died, an editorial about which case follows.]

Died

At Vere, Salt River, Richard Huggings Lopez, son of the late Jacob Lopez of Spanish Town, merchant, in the 43^rd year of his age, leaving a wife and child.

We learn that the Reverend A. C. Walshe, Incumbent of St. Peter's Church, Port Royal, has tendered his resignation of that charge to the Bishop, and will leave per Alvena for New York on the 10^th instant, en route to Canada.

An inquest will be held this morning at 9 o'clock before W. Andrews, Esq., Deputy Coroner, at the District Court Rooms, touching the death of Annie Beckett, a child whose death has been attributed to improper medical treatment, and upon whose body, exhumed ten days after burial, Dr. Stern performed a post mortem examination.

Married

On the 2^nd November 1881 at St. George's Church, Kingston, by the Bishop of Jamaica, assisted by the Rev. H. H. Kilburn and Revd. Joseph Williams, George MacDougall Duff to Helen Gordon, daughter of the late Alexander James Brymer, Esq.

MALABRE - CLEMENT - At Holy Trinity Church, Kingston, on Wednesday the 26^th October, 1881, by the Rev. Joseph Dupont, assisted by the Rev. F. Hathaway, Charles Arnold, second son of the late Arnold L. Malabre, to Marie Antoinette, daughter of the late Louis V. Clement, both of this city.

Died

At the residence of her father [97 Tower Street] Curreen, the infant daughter of Walter H. Lewis.

The public are now in possession of all the facts of the fatal case of improper medical treatment. Mr. Andrews, the Deputy Coroner, has conducted a careful inquiry ... and the jury have returned a verdict that the child died of a pernicious form of malarial fever, and of the want of proper medical aid in the early stages of the disease.

The verdict and the evidence upon which it was based justify, we think, the line of action taken by us when the case was brought to our notice. We have nothing more to say in our own behalf on this point. As soon as it was determined by the authorities to hold a post mortem examination and inquest, we abstained from discussion of the subject, although our motives, our course, and our views, were meantime subjected to criticism as sharp as it was unjust and unwarranted. In resuming our discussion of the subject, we may call attention to the fact that Mr. Justice Ker, in a judgment, on appeal, delivered as far back to the 10^th February 1879, used very strong language in regard to the person whose lack of medical skill has been alleged by ourselves within the last two weeks. His Honor, speaking of Mr. Pairman, says: "It was proved that the appellant had never been registered. It was proved that he made exhibition of a total incompetency to practice medicine and inflicted on the respondent in the attempt the serious injury of salivation." And further: "That this Pairman is any doctor or expert at all, anything beyond a mountebank trading on the popular ignorance and credulity, of course, I do not believe."

The case recently under notice exhibits this incompetency in a manner evident to any ordinary observer. The child is described for instance as "exhausted", whereupon Mr. Pairman administers aconite, the very drug which ought not to have been given. Then her pulse is described by Mr. Pairman as normal at 120 beats per minute. The normal pulse in a child of her age is about 85 or 90, and is not accompanied by the pains in the head and liver and burning thirst from which the poor little thing suffered. Mr. Pairman also says that he administered mother tincture of Arsenicum. there is said to be no such medicine in homoepathy, and certainly none such is known to allopathy. What it was that Mr. Pairman gave remains unknown. The dose was large, and the child is dead. As for the blister which Mr. Pairman proposed to apply, we will only quote that very terse and epigrammatic phrase with which Dr. Stern concluded his evidence: "Blisters are a very refuge in time of trouble for those who cannot diagnose disease" - a saying pithy enough to find very wide use outside medicine.

Beyond alleging that the case had been in incompetent hands, we stated that there had been an incorrect registration of death. The entry at the Registrar's Office was "bilious remittent fever", the cause announced to the public was "pernicious remittent fever", and now Dr. Stern, after one of the most thorough examinations we have seen gives his careful and weighty opinion that death resulted from a pernicious form of intermittent fever. If these mistakes arise in one case, they may and will arise in others, until the present system of death registration is radically changed. The risk is too great under existing conditions.

The Deputy Coroner used his influence with the jury to attach a rider to the their verdict, asking the Government to forbid unqualified men from practising medicine under a system which allows them even when guilty of grave offences, to go free of punishment, yet which loads the registered practitioner with fines and penalties. The jury did not adopt the suggestion, believing perhaps that the inquest told a story plain and alarming enough to attract the thoughtful notice of the Government. We hope that at the session of the Legislature soon to be held, the subject will be dealt with; and we are rejoiced to learn that some definite action will probably be taken. We may say that, in attacking the present system, our remarks have not been intended for individual application, save where the cap was found to fit. We do not see how we could make exceptions in calling attention to evils and abuses from which the health of the community suffers, by which it is every imperilled, and from which such sad results may follow. the question with us has not been one of homoepathy versus allopathy, nor of this unqualified man versus any other, but of public health and public imposters. The family bereaved by improper medical treatment has our warmest sympathies, and it is to prevent the recurrence of these cases that we have written.

Death

Carman - On Sunday morning, October 23^rd, at New York, Arthur Richard Carman, eldest son of the late Arthur Carman of Halifax, N. S., and grandson of the late Lieut. N. J. Ricard. Aged 41 years.

November 9^th, at Montego Bay, at the residence of the Revd. J. E. Henderson, Susan, the beloved wife of Revd. C. E. Randall, of Sav-la-Mar.

Mr. William R. Elliott has been appointed, with the approval of the Governor, under Law 18, of 1874, Superintendent of the Parade Garden, Kingston.

The Governor has been pleased to appoint Messrs. George Hicks and F. R. Orth, provisionally, to be permanent Assistant Inspectors of Schools - appointments dated the 1^st of October, 1881.

The Governor directs it to be notified, for general information, that on a day after the 15^th December 1881, the application of the Municipal Board of Trelawny, under Law 7 of 1875, for the prohibition of all burials in the town of Falmouth, except in the Jews burial ground, will be considered by His Excellency in Privy Council.

The Governor, on the recommendation of the subscribers to the Kingston Sailors' Home, has appointed the Right Reverend Enos Nuttall, D. D., Bishop of Jamaica, the Honourable George Solomon, J. C. Peynado, and George Stiebel, Esquires, to be Members of the Board of Directors of the Home for the current financial year.

Died

At her residence in Spanish Town, on Wednesday the 9^th inst., Catherine S. Dubuisson, relict of the late J. R. Dubuisson.

Our columns have contained lately an appeal to the charitable, from the Directors of the Hebrew Benevolent Society of this City, on behalf of the Alms Houses of which they have the management. These Alms-Houses were erected in 1863, and, as our readers may be aware, have since then served as a shelter to many who have been worsted in the conflict of life, and have fallen from affluence to poverty. The wear and tear of eighteen years has, however, reduced the Houses to serious disrepair, and it is announced that the sum of £800 is required for their renovation.

We are glad to note that the appeal of the Directors, based on the common sentiment of humanity, is meeting with a hearty response from the community; and that Mr. Lawton, the President, has been able to acknowledge already the receipt of several sums for this good cause. The Institution , we may state, has no vast resources, provided by a remote pious founder, to draw upon at will, but depends on voluntary contributions. Still, if it does not derive a revenue from investments, and looks anxiously for the casual offerings of the charitably disposed, it has been enabled to minister for a long period to the welfare of many aged men and women bowed down by age and broken by reversal of fortune. It has furnished the necessities of life for those who in better days themselves thought tenderly upon the poor, and for those to whom an inscrutable providence denied success in business or vocation and solace in the family circle. The majority of its inmates are women, and they therefore appeal to our compassion not less by the weakness and helplessness of their sex than by their misfortunes.

The claim of the Alms Houses is powerful, and, considering the liberality of the community, irresistible. The Directors can point to the great good effected in the past as guarantee that the gifts of the public have been, and will be, wisely expended. they can also assert, regretfully, that the want met by the Institution is as urgent today as it was in 1863. Without exceptional aid, they are unable to meet the exceptional expense of repairs and continue their work. As the Directors say: "Dispensing charity is a sacred duty; it knows no distinction of sect, but is influenced by the dictates of common humanity". In the present case, charity may be exhibited in its most catholic and practical form.

Died

At Emerald Park, in this City, at 1 o'clock yesterday, Daniel Rodriques D'Costa, in his 43^rd year, leaving a widow and six children. The funeral will leave his late residence at ½ past 4 o'clock this afternoon. Friends will please accept this intimation.

Died

At no. 78 Upper King Street, Margaret Jane, relict of the late John Shea Cluchus, M. D., of Port Antonio, aged 78. The funeral will move at 4 p.m. this afternoon.

We regret to record today the death from consumption of Mr. D. R. D'Costa, at his residence, Emerald Park Pen, in the 43^rd year of his age. The deceased gentleman was highly esteemed as a merchant in this city. [Daniel Rodrigues D'Costa was the father of Sir Alfred D'Costa]

It is with much pleasure we observe that Masters Michael and Gerald DeMercado, sons of our esteemed fellow-citizen, I. H. DeMercado, Esq. of the influential firm of Charles Levy & Co., have attained distinguished positions in the University College School of London. Each young gentleman gained the first place on examination in different branches of study against keen competition, besides secondary prizes in both branches. We heartily congratulate the parents of the young gentlemen, and hope the most cherished anticipations of their sons may be amply realized.

Death has again invaded a once happy home, and left there the poignant sting of sorrow. Not form the aged and the infirm, nor from the ranks of prattling childhood, but in the prime of manhood has the object been selected. With deep and sincere regret we record the death, on the 28^th inst., of DANIEL RODRIQUES DACOSTA in his forty-third year, and all who knew him will join in our regrets and mourn with us the loss of this good man. In his commercial relations, which were somewhat extensive both here and in Europe, he was much respected for his probity; whilst in social life he was highly esteemed for his uniform urbanity and for the unostentatious display of many of those qualities which adorn character. The poor have lost in him a friend; but he leaves others, and foremost amongst them, deserving deep sympathy, a young widow and six children to mourn the loss of one whom Death has liberated from earthly suffering, and surely - if there be reward for virtue - consigned to Eternal Life. We offer our sincere condolence to the bereaved family, whose anguish we hope will find assuagement in the sorrow expressed by a large section of the community at the sad cause of their grief.

It is satisfactory to know that the above Company may be expected soon to be in active operation. Of its success no doubt need be entertained, and in proof of this it may be instanced that a number of gentlemen residing in Jamaica have been eager to procure shares. This fact in itself will inspire general confidence in the concern, because those on the spot are better able to judge of the necessity which exists for what the Company intends to supply, and consequently of the profits which will result to the shareholders.

The Prospectus of the Company has not been as extensively advertised as it might have been; but his probably is owing to the fact that the capital needed for the undertaking is very small and that there will be little or no difficulty in obtaining it. The amount is only £24,000 in 12,000 shares of £2 each, payable ten shillings on application, one pound on allotment and the balance as required. The objects of the Company, as its designation indicates, are to establish a first class hotel in Kingston, and a sanitorium in connection therewith in the mountains. IN obtaining suitable premises in the most desirable localities, the promoters of this promising enterprise have been signally fortunate. For the Sanitorium, Flamstead Estate, the present county residence of his Excellency the Governor, has been selected. It is, as may well be supposed, well adapted for the purpose, and is delightfully situated on the Blue Mountains, where the climate is most salubrious, having an even temperature of 70 deg. Fahnt. This place will be most attractive for invalids; in fact, the magnificence of the climate is known generally beyond Jamaica, but it is not well known that Flamstead will soon cease to be private property, and for the purposes for which it is designed, be open to all health-seeking visitors and to the general public. As regards the hotel, it was intended to erect a building at the estimated cost of £20,000, but it is fortunate for the shareholders that premises admirably suited for the purpose have been procured at little more than one-fourth of that amount. the place is known as the "North Street Villa", situated at the corner of East and North Streets, where the street cars pass every ten minutes. The mansion was recently erected at a cost exceeding £10,000 by the late Simon Magnus, Esq., and has, according to the Prospectus, been purchased by the Company for the sum of £5,500. They are most admirable premises, and but a comparatively trifling sum will be sufficient to adapt them in every way for an Hotel. Some idea of their capaciousness may be formed when we state that the dining room at present is capable of accommodating one hundred guests.

Died

At Great Valley, Manchester, on Thursday the 15^th December in his 31 st year, Francis Hall Logan, eldest son of the Hon. Alexander Cochrane Logan.

Birth

At Louiseville in this city on the 19^th inst., the wife of K. John Spicer of a son.

Died
