THE CASE OF CAPT. HEDBERo.
He May Now be Restored TO His Old
Regiment If the President Wills It.

The death of Col Yard, and the consequent
promotion of Lieut-Coi. Lazelle and Major
Hawkins, announced in yesterdays STAR. will
also cause the promotion Of Capt Z. W.
whittemore, fifteenth infantry, 70 be q major,
and will give the President an opportunity to
carry out the provisions of act passed last
session, and approved by him, authorizing him
to restore Albert Hedberg 10 his rank as cap
tain in the army, from which he was removed
several years ago by a court-msrtial. He'd
berg's case has been before a number Of con-
gressionai committees. and unremitting efforts
have been put forth from time TO time by HIM
self and his wife and friends TO secure his
restoration. He was
CAPTAIN IN TfE FIFTEENTH ISFASrEY
at the time of his dismissal, but the act which
was finally made a law last year did not specify
that he should return TO his old command
simply providing for his restoration. 1t did
not, however, make il mandatory upon the
President to restore him, but merely gave him
the authority to do so. This course has been
followed in a number of similar cases. result
ing in long delays and sometimes in absolute
neglect to carry out the provisions OF the legisla
ton. The delay in Hedberg's case tits supposed.
has been due to desire on the part of the
President. and also of Hedberg himself to wait
until vacancy occurred in the fifteenth. when
the officer could be restored to his former COM
mand. Such a course would undoubtedly be
mere just 20 Hedberg and to the officers of the
line. for, il he were put into any other regi-
ment, the officers there would be made to suf-
! fer the loss of a promotion without any just
cause, and the man himself would be placed in
an uncomfortable position. Inasmuch as the Off
GERS of the fifteenth once enjoyed n promotion
at Hedbergs expense 1t is but right that they
should. now that he is to be restored, suffer an
equivalent retsrdaiion rather than the officers
of any other regiment.
HIS WIFE TTRELEss WORKER IN HIS BEHALF.
Capt. Hedberg has been for some time a
clerk in the United States pension Office in this
city. His wife has been a tireless worker in
his behalf. and has used her best endeavors to
the end that her husband might be restored to
his rank. She managed to secure the passage
of a bill through both houses to that effect at
the session of Congress before the last. but il
was among the last acts of the dying Congress,
and did not reach the President in time TO be
considered and signed.
OF course it does not necessarily follow that
this vacancy viii surely result in Hedberg's
nomination as captain in the fifteenth infan-
| try, but it simply gives the President his FIRST
opportunity to carry out the provisions of the
| act.

The Hawaiian Aristocracy.

Honolulu Letter to Chicago Times.

Cleghorn, a Scotchman. is the father of the
next heir. her Royal .Highness Princess Vic

kiki, which reception was attended by the king
and all the royal family, officers of the British
and American navies. the cabinet. the Judges
OF the supreme court, government officials aud
their wives, as well as the entire sociey of the
capital.
Very few Of the higher officials are pure Kan
akas. while many are pure white. In society,
one meets every grade Of color and nationality.
A brown skin. beautiful eyes. and magnificent
teeth proclaim a mixture Of native blood. Ele-
gantly dressed. well-educated. sweet-faeed,
gentle-mannered ladies. half white and half
native. are married 20 Chinese gentlemen. and
their children arc bred in all the rcfinements
of civilization. The descendants Of the first

1.-The soothing effects of hot water are not

who suffer from insomnia. produced by
nervous irritation of the stomach, and also for
certain forms of indigestion. Many Of them
object to it, at first, but soon come to like il
and are generally much benefited by ii. A
glass of hot water now and then will work no
appreciable good, of course, but a steady habit

says: Owing to the harbor of Norfolk being
slowly but surely destroyed. changed from a
great channel of commerce to that of a mere
canal by corporations encroaching upon and
beyond the harbor lines, one railroad corpora
ton having placed its port warden lines out to
sixteen feet water, President Cleveland has
dissolved the advising board of naval engineers
to the state harbor commissioners. thus abro-
eating the principal duties of the state and
harbor commissioners, and placed the defining
of the harbor lines under the control of the
War department, the Secretary having the
power to fix all port warden lines as he may
deem best Col Vim. p. Craighill, Lieut. Col
Peter c. Hains and First Lieutenant Gustav ].
Frieberger, of the United States engineer corps
have been designated to re-establish the harbor
lines of Norfolk and Portsmouth and adjacent

The New York Tunes to-day saws: The latest
news of Ann O'Delia Diss Debar comes from

TO make Luther r. Marsh the noted LAWYER,
marry her. The two are now in that CITY in
company with DR." Lawrence. IL is anaef-

Mr.. Marsh what purported to be messages from
the spirit world, which command the lawyer TO
marry her. That Mr.. Marsh will comply with
the command if left alone none OF his friends
doubt for moment An effort will be made,
however. TO keep the two apart. and il il NOS
improbable that the spook medium will be ar
rested for vagrancy under the old Massachu-
sets witchcraft laws.

said yesterday that he had heard the report of
the spook priestess' latest designs on the aged

a marriage is effected il can be set aside but it
Is better to prevent i; in the first place if pos
slble. was not at all surprised TO hear that
Mr.. Marsh was about to marry her for the
woman certainly has a most wonderful ascend
ency over him. Notwithstanding Mr.. Marsh's
great ablIltles and perfect sanity on all other
subjects he is certainly a monomaniac on the
subject OF Diss Debars spiritualistic man
ltestations. Aside from her spiritualism
Mr.. Marsh has no confidence whatever in the
woman. He has told me that be knows her 20

The Evening Newspaper.

From the Syracuse Journal.
The evening paper has rapidly increased in
numbers, in circulation and in influence.
Stated by percentages. the record stands: In
the United States, in 1870 there were 81 per
cent morning, to As per cent evening; in 1850.
only As per cent morning, and IS per cent
evening; in 1888. trife more than 80 Der cent
morning, and. almost 81 per cent evening In
the state OF New York, outside OF the city u
New York, the evening papers are not only
more numerous, but in almost every city they
far exceed in circulation the morning papers
The evening papers are as a rule the'better
family papers, and as the mass of the people
have more time to read in the latter than in
the earlier hours of the day. naturally they
prefer the paper that brings them the latest
news, the best reading and at the time most
convenient We know Of but one considerable
city in the state aside from New York city,
where morning papers have an equal circuls-
ton with the evening papers; in most Of them
IL il at least two to one in favor OF the evening
