Be Mine.

When Cupid drew his silver bow,
And shot a love-shaft in the air,
He tied message on for you.
From one who murmurs in despair:
"Be mine my love! be mine my love.
Thou art to me the world above.
From golden morn till shadows fall
think ct thee, my lOve-my ALI"
ALL did that arrow reach its mark.
And sink love-laden in your breast?
Or did it miss and fall to dark
And lOveless regions in its quest?
know not yet, but hope it strong.
And ne'er will wholly fade away,
j trust to meet. and that ere long,
A kindred heart TO bid me say
BE mine, my love! be mine my Lowell
Thou art to ME the world above,
From golden morn till shadows fall
think of thee, my lOve-my air.
All! music sweet A voice hearl
1t calls me where the dart has gone.
And now, in accents soft and clear.
Come words that you could breathe alone
Be mine my love! be mine my lOvel
Thou art to me the world above.
From golden morn till shadows fall
think of thee my lOve-my allr'

Despite the defeat of home rule, 1t Is
an encouraging feature of the contest
that Ireland's demand for justice has
heen backed by Scotland and Wales.
The proportion of home rulers elected in
Scotland is even larger than in Ireland.
The Tory gains are in England alone.
The sectional issue thus becomes more
conspicuous that ever before In British
politics. 1t will undoubtedly remain
the paramount issue as long as the ques-
ttOn of home rule is still unsettled, and
it will disappear only when the question
shall have been settled Justly. Hereto
fore Ireland has been compelled to fight
her battle single handed. but henceforth
she Will have the assistance Of Scotland
and Wales. England, with the other
three important divisions of the kingdom
against her. will soon be forced
to yield. 1t is dOubly important now
that Ireland should 40 bear herself in ad
versity as not to lose the support of her
new allies.

A Ghost in Possession.

TIE female inmates of house on
Greene street. between Sixth and Seventh
Louisville KY, had a dreadful experience
about o'clock Tuesday morning which
has just come TO light. About that time
in the midst Of the 9Th. Of July revels, all
the lights in the house were suddenly
extin guished. The women were tossed
about by the unseen hands, missiles Of
every kind began to fly about the rooms
unearthy yells were heard In every part
of the house and for some time the whole
house was veritable pandem0nium.
The women fed in fright. declaring that
ghost had taken possession of the house.
Some time after the noises had ceased
one OF the women returned and lighted
the gas throughout the house, The fur
niture in three rooms were found smash.
Ell to pieces, the bed clothing cut to
shreds and general havoc and confusion
everywhere. A curious crowd soon filled
the place. and the prmises were searched
but no trace Of the mysterious visitors
cOnld be found. The woman firmly be-
lieve that the work was of preternatural
agency. and claim that the house has
been haunted for a number of years.
There is story current in the vicinity
that double murder was committed in
the house years ago, and that the oodies
Of two murdered men lie buried in an
abandoned well beneath the house.
Senator Stanford. of California, il is
said. will soon resign his seat in the Sem
ate. He says he is tired of public life.
Recently. he had an attack apoplectic in
lts nature. An item going the rounds
says "he will remain in the Senate until
Congress adjourns its session, but he
will resign in order that his successor
may enter the Senate when it meets again
next winter" If he should carry out his
intention TO resign the next session
would open with two Democratic sena-
tors California, as the vacancy would be
temporarily filled by the Democratic gov.
ernOr, who but recently appointed (Mr.
Hearst) as the successor to the late Sena-
tor Miller. A governors appointment Of
United States senator holds good only
until the legislature meets, but there is
good ground for the hope that the next
of California will be Demo-
cratic. Should this expectation be rea.
II zed, Democratic control of the United
States Senate of the Fiftieth Congress
will be practically assured.

between the Imperial, represented
by Mr. Alexander j. Cartwright,
and the London, Liverpool and

there was $1,000 equally divided be-

was $4,000, held by the Transatlantic,

Hackfeld x Co. are agents. The

old copra bags are supposed to have

these would be very capable o.

Ham and Eggs by Telegraph.

There is one hotel in New York at
whose Office one hears wide depar-
ture from the old and UNMARRIED cry of
''front,' stake this to 247," or "see what
90 wants." At this hotel the clerk
hears the tick of a mufiled bell behind
him, turns from the counter, glances at
a dial about twice the size of the face
of an ordinary nickel clock and imme-
diately behaves as if he could see
through all the walls between him and
the guests rooms, and could read the
mind of any guest in the bargain,
Click, goes the bell. flames, take up
Manhattan cocktail to AZ" says the
clerk. Click, goes the bell. "Boys,"
says the clerk, "take up two soft boiled
eggs to Mr.. Tompkins," or Johnny,
run up and say to sos that it is ten
minutes after ten O'clock" Any visitor
who spends an hour near the clerks
desk will be amazed at the variety Of
orders that will be given to the hall
boys without the clerks hearing a
word from any room by telephone, tele-
graph, speaking tube or any other
means.
The explanation is at once simple
and peculiar. Some genius has in
vented device that he calls by a
Greek name, and which is operated
automatically by an electric battery
exactly as the old-fashioned hotel an
nunciators are. In each room in the
hotel is a dial with movable arrow
like a clock hand On the dial are
printed the names of everything a
guest would be at all likely TO want
all the drinks that ever were heard of,
paper, envelopes, telegraph blanks,
"help," a doctor, police, chambermaid,
messenger boy, eggs, toast milk, soup,
oysters, breakfast, dinner, tea; IN fact,
every eatable in common demand, a
city directory; the daily papers, playing
cards, cigars, cigarettes, chewing to-
bacco, a barber; in short, everything in
list of 100 or $50 necessaries. The

Blrtering Wives.

A white man named Moore was sent
to the chain gang recently, at Chatham,
North Carolina, for having traded
wives with another man. When Judge
Gilmer asked him what he had to say
WHY sentence should not be passed, he
replied that he did not know that his
act was a crime. A man came to his
house with woman who was better
looking than his own and he traded,
and paid a dollar and half to boot.
The officers have been unable to catch
the other man.

Rally of the Forces.

Battalion drill was held with much
flourish of trumpets on Palace Square
last evening, in presence of the King
and his staff. There was large turn
out of the whole military establishment
excepting the cavalry, namely; Royal
Guards, Kings Own, Princes Own,
Honolulu Rifles, Queens Own and
Mamalahoa Guards. Q. M. G. Sam
Nswlein was in command as Colonel,
while Capt. Ashford, of the Rifles,
acted as Adjutant. The Royal Ha-
waiian Band was on the ground, filling
the town with martial music, and play
ing the national anthem on His Ma
jesty's arrival and departure and at the
royal salute. A variety of maneuvers
were performed, creditable in general
but rather Indifferent in some particu-
lars. Some of the native companies
appear to have made not the slightest
in their marching for all
these years drill. Crooked lines were
frequently seen, and rifles held at
diversified angles. The Honolulu Ri
flies came out in their new fatigue uni
form of white with dark caps, locking
very neat. 1t is to be hoped the awk-
ward squads in different companies
will be brought to more efficiency be-
fore next battalion drill.
