a man who commands the respect of the
better classes of the people on his islands.
He is much more at home with his native
singers and dancers at kailua than in
managing and conducting governmental
affairs at Honolulu. In June last year his
actions became SO intolerable that the lead
ing citizens of Honolulu inaugurated q
bloodless revolution. forcing the kidg to
dismiss his entire cabinet and appoint
citizens whom they named. and also to
sign a new constitution virtually modelled
upon that of the United States.

TnE CLARK COUNTY asclmsNr.
Meeting OF Committees and omcers This
Forenoon.

Meeting Of Committees and Onicers This
Forenoon.
At the meeting of the Clark County G.
A. r. association this forenoon, Colonel
Fitzpatrick was chosed chairman and Ira
w. Wallace secretrry. Most of the pests
In the county were represented. The busi-
ness Of the meeting consisted principally in
hearing reports Of committees and further
instructions to committees whose work is
not yet completed.
Comrade r. F. Delo, chairman Of the
committee on transportation, reported that
he had no definite report yet from his ap-
plication for rates.
Quartermaster Ira W. Wallace reported
that the had secured quarters in North
Camp Neil for the accommodation of four
hundred men from Clark county. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be q greater number
of men from the county than four hundred.
but that number will probably be all want
ing camp accommodations.
1t was resolved to call the association the
G. A. X. regiment of Clark county. The
Big Six band has been secured for the en-.
tire time at $50 per day and expenses, ano
the boys say they will have the best band
In the camp.
The field and staff officers were appointed
q committee to secure a suitable banner t.
designate the organization. The same
committee was also instructed TO use theiI
judgment In regard to procuring guidons OF
markers, whether to procure them here OF
through the department headquarters.
Quartermuster Wallace was instructed t.
procure horses OF the National guard for
the use Of the field aud staff officers, which
has already been done.
There was q general discussion of en-
campment matters, and everyone urged to
do what was possible TO secure as large an
attendance as possible.
Owing to the great crush OF people In
Columbus during the encampment 1t is
possible that the Clark county men may re-
turn home every evening and back to Co
lumbus in the morning again. Columbus
will find it difficult to take care of all the
people and most of the posts near will
adopt this plan.
The association adjourned TO meet again
next Saturday forenoon at the same place.

Dig Holder. of Bank s,ock.

august Belmont. recently remarked
an old Wall street man. lis one of the
largest holders of bank stock. and having
good opportunity of learning values he
has made fine investments He has been
in successful business for half century
and has made an immense fortune. and
get you never see his name among real es
tate buyers. nor is he fouLd in the rail-
road market. On the other hand. being a
banker himself, he knows that il pays
well. and he therefore puts his money in
this shape. A few years ago the public was
astonished to learn that he owned q half
million in one bank-this fact having
been revealed in the course Of an inyesti
CATION. and it is now supposed that he
has several millions thus invested The
Astors also hold heavy amounts Of bank
stock Old John Jacob. who died forty
years ago. was one Of the largest share
holders IN the Bank of America and the
Manhattan company and the family has
been increasing this investment ever
since. The Havemeyers are large bank
stock owners There are retired families
in this city which have lived on bank
dividends for half century, and the old
bank of New York can give some figures
Of still greater antiquity.
On the other baud. A. T. Stewart. not
withstanding his millions. held but little
bank stock. his preference being real es-
tate. One can very easily see the reason
of tbs Stewart was always watching
his clerks to keep them from stealing. and
he knew that bank clerks have an equal
opportunity. His caution. therefore. led
him to invest in real estate. Morgan. on
the other hand. carried on business in
which thieving is impossible. and he got
so used to trusting clerks that he had no
suspicion of bank troubles. Percy r
Pyne. president of the City bank. is very
extensive owner of bank property. He
inherited his present office from his father
in-law. the late Moses Taylor, who left
twenty millions. Taylor. like Morgan. in
Cured no risks from erks. and therefore

generally found that leading commercial

quantity was too great and Mr.. Thomas re-
iapsed into profound unconsciousness.

awaken him. He is better now, but still

Pet Problems to the Ancients.

Among the problems with which it
pleased the ancients to perplex them
selves was one which bears in an in
structive manner on the doctrine of
limits. 1t may be thus stated: The
swift footed Achilles started in pursuit
of a tortoise which was 10, 600 yards
from him, Achilles running 100 time s
faster than the tortoise. Now, when
Achilles had travcrsed the TO- 900 yards,
the tortoise had travelled 100 yards ;
when Achilles had travelled these 100
yards the tortoise had travelled one yard {;
when Achilles had traversed this yard
the tortoise was still Tooth part of a,,yard
IN alvance; when Achilles had
traversed this Tooth part Of a
yard the tortoise was the 10 O00th
part OF yard in advance, and SO on
forever-the tortoise being at each
stage in advance of Achilles by one
hundredth part of the distance Achilles
had traversed in the preceding stage.
The tortoise then remains always in ad-
vance of Achilles by some distance
however minute; and therefore AchilI es
can never overtake the tortoise. But
we know that Achilles travelling faster
than the tortoise will overtake it,
Therefore, Achilles will and will not
overtake the tortoise; which is absurd.
The ancients were strangely fond of
problems of this sort. Thus there was
the famous problem about the ass be-
tween two exactly equal bundles Of hay,
at exactly equal distance. This ass"
says the sophist, ''wiyI attempt to eat
neither bundle; for, by whatever line Of
reasoning it could be shown that
he would turn first to ono bundle,
by line of reason precisely similar it
may be shown that he would turn first
to the other But he cannot turn first
to both. Therefore, he will turn to
neither" Another of these problems
was thus worded; ',Epimenides, the
Cretan, says that tho Cretans are liars.
Now Epimenides is himself Cretan,
there fore Epimenides is q liar. There
fore the Cretans are not liars. There
fore Eplmenides is not a liar. There
fore the Cretars are liars. Therefore
Epimenides is a liar. Therefore" etc,
ad infnitum. Others stated the prob
lem in more simple form, thus: "When
man says I lie, does he lie or does he
not lie2 If he lies he speaks the truth,
if he speaks the truth he lies. 49, Com
mer cial Advertiser.
