The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-02-21

Congressman Knute Nelson of
Minnesota has said that he will de
cline denomination to Congress this
year, because being in favor of rev.
enue reform he would be black
sheep amongst the Republicans,
therefore whatever usefulness he
might possess would be neutralized.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-02-21
Canadian Annexation.


An Ottawa despatch of January
oath contains interesting matter as
follows:
The Government here is in sad
quandary over the subject of annexa-
ton. Hon. Mr.. Ellis, member from
st. John, who lately in his paper, the
81. John Globe, came out fat-footed for
annexation, viii be impeached next
month by Parliament. He has to-day
come ont with most surprising
answer to the Government, which
throws the conservative leaders into
confusion He has resurrected from
the dusty vaults of the Parliament
Library, where they have lain forgot
ten for years, official memoranda to
which is affixed the signatures of such
men as Sir David Mcpherson, Sir
John Rose, Sir George Cartier, Sir A.
L. Gait and Hon. j. G. Abbott, call
ing upon the people of Canada to
throw off their British connection
and join the United States. This
was done in 1919; since then these
annexationists have all held import
ant positions in the Cabinet
Sir David Mcpherson has filled the
position of Minister of the Interior
and Speaker of the Senate, Sir John
Rose and Sir A. T. Gait have in turn
served in Macdonald's Cabinet, while
the late Sir George Cartier was Minis
ter of Militia Hon. j. G. Abbott is
now the leader of the Senate and a
member of the Cabinet without a
portfolio. These are the subjects who
now say there is not or never has
been any sympathy in Canada for
commercial union or annexation.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-02-21
Little Things that Kill.

AT various times the newspapers
have warned the public against swal-
lowing the seeds of grapes, oranges,
etc, because of the danger of such
substances getting into small in
festival bag, or cul- -de-sac, called by
doctors the appendix Ue1mJoJmis This
is a receptacle formed at the junction
of the large and small intestines, but
its use or object no physician knows.
1t has been thought to be a rudimen-
tary or incomplete formation-or pos
sibly some meaningless survival of a
lost anterior type. At any rate, its
existence, while presenting no appar-
ent treason for being" as the French
say, is, on the other hand, a positive
and constant source of danger, be-
cause of the liability of its becoming
the receptacle of some undigested
seed or other indigestible substance.
In that case it produces a state
of inflammation, which, in nearly all
cases, proves fatal. Fortunately, but
few seeds among the great number so
heedlessly swallowed seem to get into
this little neutrality-suspicious. any
one seems likely to lodge there. Per
haps more cases of Inflammation of
the bowels than the doctors suspect
may be, in reality, due to this obscure
and disregarded cause. One sad case
which produces a feeling of deep re-
greet among thousands, and which
plunges a family into overwhelming
grief, occurred in this city on Satur-
day evening, in the lamented death of
]. Robert Dyer, the much-esteemed
adjutant of the Governors foot-guard
"a man whose place that corps can
not make good. HIS case SO bafied
the physicians that an autopsy was
had, and that revealed a piece of pea
nut shell in the appendix 0ermltormis.

his family might enjoy the education
al and social privileges which had
rendered him such good service.
Mr.. G. d. Gilman, also a member
of the executive committee, is another
we'll known Bostonian. Mr. Gilman
was for twenty years one of the lead
ing business men of Hawaii. During
the last ten years of his stay there he
was established at Lahaina, with MIR.
George Brayton of New Bedford, IN
a large ship chandlery business with
the American whalers. During the
recent visit of the Hawaiian royalties,
Mr.. Gilman, at the request of the
Mayor and the entertainment commit
tee, performed the duties of inter
prefer, his long residence in the
Kingdom, his familiarity with the
language and his personal acquaint-
ance with the former sovereigns and
the present reigning family having
particularly qualified him for the
position. Mr.. Gilman is member of
the drug firm of Gilman Brothers of
this city.
Among other members of the club
who have been intimately associated
with important affairs at the islands
is Mr.. D. Nj. Weston, the inventor of
the centrifugal sugar machine, which
has effected sort of industrial revo-
luton ON the plantations as labor
saving contrivance Mr. Weston has
been a very liberal contributor to ed
ucational institutions, notably to
those of Mortified. The venerable
DR.. r. w. Wood of Jamaica Plain,
who is we'll known to frequenters of
the Congregational library, was for
many years a physician at Honolulu,
where, among other duties, he had
charge of the hospital of the Ameri
can consulate. Mr.. w. L. Brigham,
author and traveller, the well known
authority on natural history and
writer of many papers on volcanoes
and earthquakes, is member of the
club. He has sent many valuable
collections to the Natural History
Museum on the Back bay. Many
other prominent gentlemen are mem
bers, and nearly all of them were
present at the reunion last night.
! The Hawaiian Club has been real
power in affecting the relations be-
tween the United States and the
kingdom of Kalakaua, and it is likely
to take as decided action in the future
as it has in the past.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-02-21

amongst the natives in the Austria
han colonies. They propose to
raise a contingent versed in the
Maori language to carry on work
amongst the natives of New Zealand.
Another party viii be formed to work
amongst the Australian aboriginals,
especially amongst those in Queens
land; and steps are being taken to
attend to the spiritual wants of the
Kanakas and Chinese resident in the
colonies. The Army are also prepar-
ing to carry on their work more ex-
tensively in Western Australia.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-02-21

Chinese gamblers are vigorously
prosecuted in Sydney, N. S. W.
Henry Irving and Miss Terry have
concluded the most successful en-
gagement at Chicago ever played
there.
The Soldiers Home at Leaven
worth has received a present from
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher of 1000
volumes from her husbands library.
New York papers report that Nine.
Berger, formerly Mrs. La Bau, the
millionaire daughter of Commodore
Vanderbilt, became the dupe of a
spiritualistic medium in Boston, and
was feeced out of large sum Of
money. By the alleged command of
the spirits she gave the medium as
high as 1000 at a time.
There is such boom in the Argen-
tine Republic that Buenos Ayres has
become the dearest city in the world
to live in. The city is growing so
fast that the brick-layers can hardly
build houses fast enough. Rents are
up to the skies, provisions of every
description are almost as high as in
Europe, and general living expenses
have rapidly increased.
OF President Carnot, DR.. Pressense
writes: "There is nothing striking
about NJ. Sadi Carnot, either in his
person or in his history, although he
has occupied high positions In the
government of the Republic. But,
apart from the great historic name
which he bears, he has stainless
reputation alike in public and private
life. His home circle seems to belong
TO the good old times. He has sons
serving their country, some in the
higher branches of industry; he has
a daughter, worthy Of her mother,
married to one of our most esteemed
and group of young
children. NJ. Carnot has always been
a firm and moderate Republican,
holding aloof FROM Radicalism, and
simply doing his duty"

Another of Mrs. Cievelands school
mates. Miss Kate Willard, is visiting
at the executive mansion. With de-
lightful impartiality the fair mistress
of the White House is slowly going the
rounds of her old school friends, in
viting one after another to enjoy the
novel and charming experience of Il
short stay at :sthe palace" as the young
ladies have christened the alto gether
commonplace edltice that serves the
President for both office and mansion.
A pretty young girl, who belongs to
what is called the white House set. :"
and who has met nearly all of Mrs.
GleYeland's visitors, said to q WoriG
correspondent at a recent receptions
lit would be easy enough to know
what an awfully nice girl Mrs. Cleve-
land used to be just by meeting the
splendid girls that come to visit her.
Nobody could have such lot of de-
liShtful chums unless she were just as
nice as she could be herself. And
these are not the sort of girls tnat come
to see her because they can visit at the
White House. They love her and
would go anywhere to spend a day
with her. hear, though, that pret-
ty little superstition is ahoat among
her old schoolmates that the best Of
luck always follows these visits to
Washington. Several of the girls that
have been down here have got mar
ried since their return home and all
the rest of them are engaged. The
girls think it is better than finding a
four-leaf clover. and those who have
not been here are crazy to come. y
