Warum tut der compiler sich beschweren, mit illegal start of expression Fehlermeldung?

Sieht dieser code über mehrere Dateien zu finden, die Beliebtheit und Bedeutung von was auch immer Namen, den Sie geben. Die Klasse Konstanten, die Fehler für eine Grafik habe ich noch innerhalb der Klasse. Nicht jetzt, aber bald.

Ich bin immer diese Fehler:

BabyNames.java:8: error: illegal start of expression
   public static final int STARTINGYEAR = 1890;
   ^
BabyNames.java:8: error: illegal start of expression
   public static final int STARTINGYEAR = 1890;
          ^

   public static final int STARTINGYEAR = 1890;
                ^

   public static final int WIDTH = 60;
                ^
BabyNames.java:10: error: illegal start of expression
   public static final int HEIGHT = 30; 
   ^
BabyNames.java:10: error: illegal start of expression
   public static final int HEIGHT = 30; 
          ^
BabyNames.java:10: error: ';' expected
   public static final int HEIGHT = 30;

Ich glaube, ich habe all die richtigen semi Doppelpunkte hier, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, was Los ist
Hier ist mein code:
