almost black, and her face is almost
free from lines and wrinkles. As seen
in a place ofworship her countenance
was uncommonly sweet and spiritu-

satisfactory to fastidious critics.
Her husband is said to be "the god
other idolatry," and she will sacrifice
appearances to be helpful of his COM

is said that the straightest way into
Mrs. Gladstone's affections is to adj
mire and love her husband.
She is a charitable, Christian wom-
an always among the foremost in
kindly words and active benevolence.
Exemplary as a wife, mother, and
lady in exalted station of life, ap-
proachable by and friendly to the
poorest and meanest, she is indeed
an admirable woman, and it may be
pardoned that she hasn't much time
and trouble to bestow on the art of
dressing.

youngest sons are members OF Par

land. Mrs. Gladstone two daugh-

THE PREMIER's BETTER HALF.
Hrs. Gladstone.

William Ewart Gladstone was
married, as long ago as the year
1889, to the eldest daughter Of Sir
Stephen Glynns, Bart. The wife Of
the great statesman is still living
and in good health. Her husbands
astonishing capability to work is
largely due to the vigilant care she
takes of his health. To her loving
attentions is attributable, in all
probability, the physical vigor in her
husband necessary to the production
of the great measures, thought out
and carried out into practical legis-
lation, by the sturdy brain and I'M
der the leadership of Mr.. Gladstone.
His noble wife must not be over
looked in ascribing honor to whom
honor is due for the most of what is
progressive and liberal in British
craftsmanship since December, 1868,
when Gladstone became Prime Min
lister the first time. He was nearly
sixty years of age at that date, but
only then began virtually to direct
legislation on Irish affairs, perhaps
the heaviest task ever undertaken
by a statesman, old Or young.
An American who saw Mrs. Glad

motherly expression of countenance
suggests that she is a helpmeet In

TREATY WITH HAWAII.
Proposition on the Part of Kalakau's
Cabinet.

FrOpOSltlOn on the Fart or halakau'S
Cabinet.
SAN FRANCISCO, Specialize steamer Cit,
of Peking brings Honolulu advices that the
Hawaiian cabinet, in answer to a committee
representing public meeting of Hawaiian
citizens who made inquiry concerning
the relations between the king
dom and the United States on
Oct 4 issued statement in which
its position relative to the proposed treaty is
explained. 1t states that the cabinet has for
a long time had under consideration the
practicability of extending the treaty rela-
lions so as to enhance and increase both the
commercial and political benefits which the
two countries now enjoy by reason of the
existing treaties As result of nearly
two years consideration of this sub
ject by the cabinet, the minister resident at
Washington has been instructed to ascertain
whether the government of the United
States is willing to entertain proposition
looking to the end above indicated. And
should he find snch willingness. he was in
structed to open negotiations with that gov
eminent for the conclusion of a treaty by
which the following objects may be secured
First, to continue in force al the treaties and
conventions now existing between the two ma
tions until they shall find it mutually advan-
tageous to abrogate or modify such treaties or
conventions or any Of them.
Second, that all the products OF either coup
try which are by virtue Of reciprocity treaty
admitted free OF duty into the country, shall be

and all other respects as if such articles were

country into which they were admitted

the two countries, without the payment of du-
ties, Of all products of the other: excepting
however. opium, spirituous liquors Of more than
Is per cent alcoholic strength. and all articles

this without danger OF complication with other
powers, we do agree not to negotiate treaties
with ether nations without the knowledge of the
United States government.

lost hand. for which existing law now pro-
vides the rate OF $50 per month, and has

said injury, unless, by reason of them, he is
totally helpless or nearly so. as to require
the constant aid and attendance of another
person, for which degree of disability the
rate of $50 q month can now be granted. 1t
will be seen, he says, that the pensioner in
such case actually receives nothing for
his said injury, rs the loss of his hand clone
entitled him to the rate $500. which is
the highest allowable rate under the
law for both disabilities Numerous other
instances. he says, could be cited to show
the unfairness in rates now provided by law,
and lie thinks this statute should be amended
SO as to permit the rate of $72 per month to
be proportionately divided for all disabili-
ties which are shown to have been incident
to the service and like of duty. The injus-
tice and unfairness caused by the act OF
congress approved June 16. 1880, the re-
port says, should be corrected. This act
limits the right of pensioners to receive $72
per month to those who were receiving
$50 per month at the date OF said act. No
provision is made therein for granting said
rate to those who were totally helpless on
said date. but were not receiving $50 at said
time. and none for those who have become
totally helpless since that date The anom-
ally ia presented of two men equally dis
abled. possibly living side by side. the one
receiving $72 per mouth and the other $50
per month. To state this case is to make all
the argument necessary to show the abso-
lut3 necessity for

even If this were not so Is inconsistent with

As result Of the investigation the board
makes a number Of recommendations. with
o view to the correction OF errors which have
crept into practice through the lax methods
which are found to prevail in the pension
