Bill Nxe on JeR Davis.

see that Mr.. Jefferson Davis, who has re-
Gently entered the lecture field says that
there could have teen no nobler cause for
which to die, no opportunity more glorious
for proud and honorable death, than that
afforded the Confederate soldier who espoused
the cause of the south twenty years ago.
Looking at it in that way, l ask, in all can
dor, why did not Mr.. Davis improve that
glorious opportunity Feeling that way
about it, why did he not remove his pOlonaise
and die like man? Why did he let such a
chance go by in order that he might enter
the lecture field and crowd out better men,
and then died of old age, when he could have
hung up his hoopskirt on tree and died in a
way that would have endeared him to every
Southern heart
i agree with the lamented A Ward that
"it would have been $25 in Mr.. Davis pocket
if he had never been born" but after he was
born, and it was too late to consider his rash
act he should have died as young as possible.
With characteristic hardness. however, he
allowed himself to grow up, and then with
the full knowledge, as he now admits, that
the war of the rebellion afforded beautiful
opportunity for a man who yearned to die
in a neat and attractive way, he frittered
away that golden moment and continued to
destroy the high-priced groceries of the de-
spondent south
There is certainly "a tide in the affairs of
men which, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune" and Mr.. Davis surely missed it
when he neglected to make a funeral tableau

A Story of salmon.

One evening w. J. Florence, the actor, sat
in the club room telling of his exploits on a
salmon river in New Brunswick. How
many salmon did you catch" visitor in
quired.
Florence nearly fell from his chair at the
ignorance displayed in the question Fish
ermen, sir" said he, never use the word
catch as you apply it. They kill salmon
They never catch them"
The rebuked listener turned scarlet, but
made no response. A moment afterward
Lawrence Jerome. the father of Lady Ran
dolph Churchill and an excellent story teller,
began to talk of his adventures on a salmon
stream He was describing himself a stand
ing on a bank at daybreak whipping a Jack
Scott" over the water, when he hooked big
salmon. 81 was so excited, he said, that 1
dropped my slungshot in the water and lost
the fish"
"Dropped whatF" Florence asked in open
eyed establishment
MY slungshot," Jerome replied
@Why, what could you do with a slungshot
at such a timel" Florence inquired.
BEST thing in the world to kill a salmon
with, Jerome said, going right on with his
story while everybody rosred Philadelphia

Cyclone Cellars

Payable Invariably in AdUance
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-07-31


number Of persons in this town are
building cyclone cellars-undergroun re-
treats upholstered with large limestone rocks
into which they can crawl away when Il
cyclone may happen to be going through the
country. Some people feel above the cyclone
cellar, and profess to be unable to see the ad-
gantages to be derived from using it as a
sitting room or sleeping apartment. We,
however, think differently. We would much
rather retire to some quiet, well-conducted
cyclone cellar, whenever there appears to be
well founded suspicion that cyclone is in
the neighbOrhood, than to be obliged TO spend
the next day in chasing around the country
collecting our limbs
1t may not look as heroic to go into cy-
clone cellar every night and set the tire
lock on the door for o'clock the next morn
ing it does to stay above ground and
fasten notice to each limb, saying that "this
belongs to So-and So, the finder will please
return" but it will certainly produce greater
peace of mind No man can be at his best
with a leg in Iowa, an arm in Minnesota,
another leg blowing across the British POI
sessions and detectives hunting for the other
arm.
A man may have three or four sets of
wooden legs and artificial arms, but he
would hardly do for this country. The diff
ference might not be noticed in the east, but
he would be put at a great disadvantage in
the west.
We are going to build cyclone cellar. 1t
will be twenty-five feet deep, with a long.
dark, narrow passage leading to it We in
tend to stay in it all the time, to avoid
creditors, and if a cyclone happens in the
neighborhood it will have just as hard work
to find us as they will.-Estelline Bell.

THE MURDER OF MILAN MAD
ISON.
Alleged New Evidence that may save
Ciuverius from the GaiIoWS.

Alleged New Evidence that NAV save
Ciuverius from the GaiIuWS.
RICHMOND, April Ia.-The question of
the hanging Of I. J. C.uverIus for the
murder Of Fanny Lillian Madison is ROW
in the hands of the highest courts in the
State, the condemned man having asked
for new trial on the ground Of newly
discovered evidence, the substance OF
which was revealed to-day.
In the latter part of the summer Rach-
ell Mcdonald, an aged maiden lady, liv-
ing near the reservoir in which the dead
body was discovered, was found dead in
her yard with her throat cut. Appa-
rently every effort was made to discover
the means Of her death. but without
avail. Her property is in the hands of
the court. Now comes the startling
news that witnesses have been found to
prove that Miss Mcdonald was murdered
and that they will appear before the next
grand jury Of 1Henrlco county with more
positive evidence.
Still n ore startling is the information
that Lillian Madison, who, it was
thought, was thrown into the reservoir
by her cousin, Cluvsrius. died at the
house of Miss Mcdonald from an attempt
at malpractice, and was thrown into the
water after death. All these rumors
have excited the greatest interest, and
counsel for Cluverius were not slow in
doing everything possible to get the facts
OF Miss NcDonald's death out. One of
the shrewdest detectives in the country
has been in the case.
