Father Damien will not be forgotten as
the hero Of Molokai, but there is another
who has done heroic work among the lepers
there. His name is Hanaloa and he is a
protestant preacher. One OF the reasons
why so little is known of him is that he does
not sp ak English. He has, however, been
at work among the lepers for twenty years.
He is a Hawaiian, and when his wife was
afflicted with leprosy he said: THE lepers

Itrequires a good deal of time to settle
the question whether Judge Fleming or Mr..
Golf is the governor Of West Virginia. 1t
will soon be a year since the election, and
1t Is p obable that the great majority of
people outside of that state have forgotten
that there is a contest for pos ,ession of the
office of governor in progress there.
The legislature squabbled for long time
over the question of which of the candi-
dates " as elected. 1t failed to reach any
conclusion, aid finally appointed a commits
sion composed Of members of the legislature
to take testimony and make a report for
legislative action.
Mr. Golf, the republican claimant, hal,
on the face OF the returns, a majority of
ITO. The testimony thus far taken by the
commission has been in favor of the demo-
cratic claimant, Judge Fleming, who ha
made net gain of rs, leaving him only 50
behind Mr.. Golf. The indications now are
that the report Of tho commission Will be in
favor of Judge Fleming. The democrats
claim that there was very large number
of frauds committed in the southwestern
COuHIlos' Iue NO05 VI Iuese counties mas
not yet been canvassed. Judge Fleming
himself is reported to entertain the opinion
that when the report of the commission is
made, it will show a legal majority for him
of at least 2, OO0
Gov Wis II is still administering the
Office of governor, and will continue to
so until II is clearly shown who is entitled
to be his successor. When it became APP
parent that there was a doubt whether
Fleming or Golf was elected 1t was gener-
ally conceded that Gov Wilson should re-
main in Office until the doubt was removed.

1t looks as if it would cost the state fully
5000 to settle the state road lease ques-
ton. The cost IF the Legislature is about
$500 day, and there is 40 probability
that the question ca be fully disposed of in
thirty days. TIE wise course is to sell the

Of the state debt A good many members
will adopt this view before the state road

There seems to be feeling in naval cir
cles that the sentence inflicted upon Capt.
Harrington was too severe He was in
command of the practice ship, Constella-
tion, which grounded Off Cape Henry Ii sht
few weeks ago. He was suspended from
duty for two years. The fact that much
lighter sentences have been inflicted for
much more serious offenses is the ground
for complaining OF Capt. Harriugton's sem
tence. No one doubts that he is an able
and careful seaman.

MY GUEST.

There is a guest that detest forever at
my side,
Who clings to me as fondly as a bride
groom to his bride,
VINO leers at me, who ieers at me, and
when ] cross his will
Who only smiles sardonic, and hugs me
closer still.
! hate him and berate, him, yet he
trudges at my heels,
And reaches in my pockets, and revels
at my meals.
defy him and would fly him, but he
only presses closer,
And whispers to each wish of mine an
everlasting "No, sir"
He sQueezes me and freezes me and well
nigh drives me mad.
He tortures me and losses me and
growIs when am glau
He glares at me and stares at me as any
ghoul might do.
He has shattered every promise that my
soul was anchored to.
He has wrecked me and bedecked me
with the shattered garbs of woe
He has crossed my happy threshold
and has laid my loved ones low.
When the wintry winds are dire he sits
cr0uchng at my fire,
And glow'ring at my beggary with eyes
that never tire.
He's parent of all crime, in each coun-
try and each cline,
And has tramped the whole world over
hand in hand with Father Time.
His record all may read in the hearts
that break and bleed,
On the lips Of little children that for
ever pine and plead
And his deeds are further written over
sleepless eyes red-bitten,
Over cold and empty cradles, over roofs
by sorrow smitten,
Over shattered hopes once cherished,
over pleasures that have persisted,
Over broken dreams of glory that bet
ter manhood nOurished.
In the byways and the highways he
goes onward unmOlested,
And he makes the world to labor ere its
weary hands are rested.
He's the Prince of Empty Pockets, out
at elbow and at knee;
He's a knight without nickel, whom
we niCkname--POyERTY
Craftsman.
