bers who take their monetary ideas from
that gentleman, it should satisfy the gold
advocates at least.
\ committee OF five has been APP
pointed to visit the Ieper settlement on
Molokai, and report to the Legislature
the condition OF the people there. The
committee consists of Messrs. Kauna-
nano, Castle, Nahale, Lilikalani and
Paehaole a special steamer will prob
ably be chartered for that purpose if the
tug Eleu cannot be utilized We trust
that a thorough and impartial investiga-
ton will be made by the committee on
the spot. Having had a recent oppor-
tunity OF visiting this abode OF misery,
We are anxious to know whether an off
cial investigating committee will differ in
its conclusions from our own unbiased,
but necessarily hasty observation.
The report of the President of the Board
of Health deals with this matter, and
the reports of medical experts upon lep-
rosy on these Islands are comprehensive
and suggestive, if not very cOnsolatOry in
their conclusions. But the social and
moral condition of the residents at the
Leper Settlement on Molokai, as well as
their physical condition, should engage
the attention of the committee. Too
much light cannot be thrown upon this
dark place of the Kingdom; and if a
Parliamentary committee can suggest
any improvement upon the methods
adopted by the Board OF Health, by all
means let the suggestion be made. The
Health Bureau has only one object. that
of making the condition OF the unhappy
lepers as tolerable as possible, and if the
Legislature can help it in that work it
will be an acceptable service.

A Card.

Many people imagine that the taro
flour now on the market is similar to
that introduced year or two ago. This
is not the case; the Alden Fruit and
Taro Company, sparing neither pains
nor capital, by new and improved ma
chinery have succeeded in producing an
article far superior in every respect than
the flour first made. From all parties
who have given the Taro Flour fair
trial, having been careful to follow the
directions closely, but one response is
heard, viz: That the flour is all and
much more than is claimed for it.

TUsCoLA, ILL.,, July 3.-The report of
another terrible tragedy clouded with mys-
terry startled the citizens of this county to-
day. 1t appears that three neighbors called
at the residence of Harry Wildman, a
prominent farmer living a few
miles northwest of this city,
this morning, and finding the doors
locked and no one apparently about, went
in through the window where they discev-
cred Mrs. Wildman lying on bed with her
throat cut from ear to ear. Horrified at
the sight they fastened to give the alarm
and make search for the murderer. but up
to the present it remains mystery as
to who did the deed. Wildman could not
be found, and while some suspect him
as the guilty one others are strong in the
opinion that he is not, as he has always been
regarded, as good citizen and incapable of
doing such deed. He owns large farm
AMI was making arrangements to build a
fine house. Another theory is that they
were both murdered and that his
body will be found hid in some out-of-the
way place. He was known. to have money
about the house. This is the second tragedy
that has shocked this county within less
than thirty days.. and the citizens are be-
ginning to get awakened to the situation of
affairs, and demand that justice shall be
melted out to the perpetrators of these
crimes.

employment at my trade as machinist. One
Saturday night about three months ago when
had received my weeks wages I drank a
good deal and was in an intoxicated condition
when reached home. My wife began to
scoid and abuse me in the presence of James
Dolan, fellow workman. She said that
Dolan was the cause of my drinking and Or
dered him out of the house. Dolan went and

A Chinaman NIaltreated.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. July 3.-An attache of
the Chinese legation came to police head
quarters this afternoon to report a Chinese
outrage that occurred last night.
He stated that Chinaman whose name
he had forgotten reported to the Chinese
minister that he was stopped in Lafayette
park last night shortly after 9 o'clock by
four white men who cut his queue off close
to his head and took what money he had
about him. The Chinese are very much ex-
cited over the occurrence and are impor-
tuning their minister TO do all in his power
to have the guilty persons punished and to
put stop to such outrages. The China
men in their excitement over the occurrence
associated it with the Western outrages
and are fearful that it is only the beginning
of persecution instituted against them.
