THE OLDEST DEMOCRAT.

Benjamin Moore, of Cheney, Ind, claims to be the oldest democrat in the United States, and he probably IS. MT Moore has been democrat siuce 17Sl, having been born that way in North Carolina, though for the sake of history
 is conceded that the democratic party has not been in existence quite so long a time. MT Moore remembers Washing tons inauguration, and isn't ashamed to mention the fact casually to near friends of the family. His first vote was for Thomas Jefferson, lis last for Grover Cleveland, and he has the assurance to believe that he will cast another ballot for Cleveland in 1899. He has always voted the straight ticket-evcn swallow ing Greeley in 1S12-though that has left a bad taste in his mouth. The patri- arch is living with his two young sons, the elder of whom is now TS years old. The old mans second wife, whom he married 5i years ago, is with him.

THE MOONSTONE.
1t Is Traditionally Lucky and Most Suit
 able for Souvenirs.

1t 1s Traditionaily Lucky and Most Suit
 able for Souvenirs.
 s'The word precious can not be ap- piled to moonstones,' said wcll-l1nown dealer in jew1lry, ''because their mar kcta ble value is relatively small at all times, and is still further influenced by the dccrceS of fashion. For some years past we have had but few calls for moon stones, but about twelve months ago they were restored to popular favor, and will probably continue to be much used for some timo to come. The stones come from India, are easily procured, and there is but little waste in cutting. They arc almost invariably of bluish- whit te tint, the rays of the most perfect stones much resembling moonlight (hence the name), those of less clear or yellowish hue being of but little value. When carved, the clear trans parency of the stone is of course marred, but many of them are so embellishea, the man in the moon being favorite device, and baby's face surrounded with cap of pearls or diamonds another"
 The moonstone is seldom worn alone by fashionable people, having usually an accompanying setting of diamonds or other precious stones. In response to a question the dealer added: ''The largest moonstone I have ever seen was one of oblong shape about 14 inches in length and s4 of an inch in width. This was set to represents a butterfly with partially closed wings of brilliantly colored stones, and was intended to te worn as pendant. These stones are not valued by weight as others are, but simply by appearance and size, a perfectly round stone being moro desirable than flat ter one and more rare."
 As the moonstone is additionally lucky it is most suitable for souvenirs, parting and anniversary gifts, and from present indications will be much used for favors and wedding presents during the coming gay season.-N. Y. Sun.

AN ELOPER ARRESTED.
The Sequel So the Love Affair of Younl
 Miner of New Boston.

Miner of New Boston.
 PorTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 2.-Alfred Evans, young English miner, of Now Boston, is locked up in cell in the county iail. He was arrested for elop- ing with Mary Ellen Kale, buxom and blushing fifteen-year-old girl of New Boston. Evans is tall. muscular man who had been working in the mines at New Boston for some time when he met Miss kale.
 They fell in love with each other. He wooed her ardently, but the mother of the girl dld not look with favor on Ev- ans, and told her daughter not to re- ceive his attentions. Two weeks ago the miner and the girl decided to elope. They ran away to Fremont and took up their home in a boarding house there After long search a man at New Bos- ton learned that the runaway couple were at Fremont.
 The mother of the girl, with Con- stable Becker, of Ashland, hurried to Fremont and surprised the pair. The constable arrested Evans and the mother took charge of her daughtor. Evans was brought to the county jail and Miss kale was taken home. Evans will most probably be put on trial this month.

THE BRAZILIAN REPUBLIC.

It might be just as will for the gov slowly in the matter of organizing the republic of Brazil This country, being the greatest republic in the world, and the model of all seekers of government by the people, should not be slow in giv- ing comfort and consolation to all coun- tries which desire to throw off the mon archical yoke and organize a truly re- publican government.
 It is very doubtful indeed whether this has been done in Brazil. In fact the re- liable news that filters through indicates that the r, V vJlution wa, a ,cC mplished by military power and not by an outraged people raising in their might. and that tue government which supplants the beneiiccnt sway of Dom Pedro is a mili- tary dictatorship maaquerading under the title of republic.
 President Fonscca announces that there will be no election until August next, and that in the meantime the pro- visional government would hold. If the people were anxious for the new form of government there will be no need tC wait so long, particularly as all the machinery 10 conduct and control the elections is in the hands of the govern ment.
 If the people of Brazil were ripe for republican rule there would be no need for the strict censorship which the government maintains over the news papers and private correspondence. The utterances of the people would then be in favor of the change and the govern ing powers would he quite willing tc give them the widest publicity.
 Dom Pedro's empire, with its broad and liberal principles, would be i'm mcnscly preferable to a military dicta torship. This government had better wait until the fact that in recognizing the republic of Brazil it is really advanc ing the cause of good governm ent, ha been duly demonstrated.

BACK FROM CANADA.
Gideon P. Brown Says He Is Sorry He
 Went Away.

Went Away.
 BosToN, Jan. 2.-Business circles were surprised over the announcement of the return of Gideon P. Brown, the se- nior me em Der of the firm of Brown, Steese t5 Clark. He has been in Canada since the failure of the firm in August. He was seen by reporter and said:
 'I have very little talk to make about my affairs; l think enough has been said. 1 have this much to say, how ever, l have returned voluntarily to Boston to do all in my power in the settlement of my affairs and those of the firm of which 1 was member. I feel that my depar- ture was a mistake that I should not have made, but the blow came upon me suddenly and was so wholly unlocked for that I found myself going away from Boston almost without knowing it. Now I have returned and will do all that I possibly can to assist the settlement of all my affairs. There was no reason for my leaving this city. If I had had proper time for reflection l would not have done so. I never at heart intended to wrong anyone"

A Pretty Display.

The windows OF the Pacific Hard
ware Co.'s store, the one lately oc-
cupied by Egan & Gum, on Fort
street, have been very lastly ar
ranged with holiday goods, paint
ings, glassware, autotypes, etchings,
etc. There are paintings by Hitch
cock, Strong and Barnfeld. UE-
stairs in the McInerny Hall, the in
terror of which is sight to behold,
are several splendid oil paintings
and water colors by Mrs. p. S. Tay-
lor. Her bread-fruit in oil is a
charming, realistic piece of work,
and her water color sketches little
gems. A bunch of roses by Miss
Lulu Tanning attracts much atten-
ton, and two oil paintings by Mrs.
w. Bailey show much skill with the
brush. These pictures are all en-
closed in handsome frames, the work
of the company. On the next
steamer they will receive full line
of cutlery and artists materials. A
visit to McInerny Hall should be
made by all.

THE DAILY

THE visit of the California base
ball team to Honolulu has been
most opportune, as it occurred just
at time when our amateurs began
to imbibe the idea that they had
about reached perfection in the
noble art. Our visitors came as
Observation-Disclosures of the art
and have well sustained their pro-
fcssion as champions in this noble
sport. 1t is well that they came,
if for no other reason than to show
our amateurs what skillful playing
is, how little was known of the
perfection which it has reached
abroad, and how much there is to
learn. The few games that have
been played here by the California
boys have shown remarkable fleet
ness on the bases, most splendid
fielding, approaching in some in
stances to the marvellous, with
rapid movements in every part of
the game. But our Honolulu boys
have been equally quick to profit
by the example, and to improve in
whatever they were deficient, as
has been shown in the last two
games played. Could the Califor-
Mas remain here another month,
they would probably find, before it
ended, that our local players had
improved to such an extent as to
at least win an occasional game.

THE LATE PANIC IN
LONDON.

The close inter-dependence as
well as the constituencies of the
money markets of the world has
been recently somewhat unpieas-
antly illustrated by the extreme
anxiety and uncertainty prevailing
in all the great centers of business
throughout the months of October
and November, which eliminated
in the open avowal of what had
been whispered for some time, viz:
that the great banking house of
Barring Brothers was in grave
difficulties, and had indeed been
compelled to seek aid on an i'm
mense scale in order to avoid q
failure which would have brought
about the most terrible crash, and
dragged numbers of smaller con-
Germs with it. Under these circum-
stances and to prevent panic, the
Bank of England at once subscrib-
cd a million sterling, and other
banks and banking houses put
down for fifteen millions as a guar
antee fund to be used in the course
of three years. 1t is reported that
the total liabilities of the Earrings
amount to somewhere about 600
100000 and their assets at present
prices to some 81, 100000 in excess
Of liabilities.
The Earrings of the present gen.
Grafton appear to have been under
taking the most hopeless debts and
lending to the most reckless and
improvident borrowers. 1t is said
that they guaranteed Egyptian and
Turkish debts and lent money Law
ishly on South African diamond
mines, and the immediate cause of

the trouble, immense sums to the
Argentine Republic. The recent
revolution in Buenos Ayres
brought matters to a crisis, and
has shown up the manner in which
the finances of the Republic have
been manipulated.
The London Statist is quoted as
affirming that within the last eight
years the Argentines have Dor
rowed s5OO,OOO,0OO while to this
vast Indebtedness Is to be added
probably a thousand millions more
Of what are ironically called "secu-
rites" in the form Of land mortgage
bonds. This mountain of debt is
piled upon the shoulders Of popu-
.ation Of FOUR MILLIONS of uncer-
tain and complex character, and in
great measure of heterogeneous
races. The interest on this DEBT
has hitherto been paid, as far as it
Is paid at all, of course by fresh
borrowing. Two months ago the
new government at Buenos Ayres
authorized the addition of sixty
millions of irredeemabIe paper to
the two hundred and sixty millions
already in circulation, with gold at a
premium of two hundred and fifty
per cent. The Argentines were
practically bankrupt, and the great
houses who were SO heavily inter.
ested combined to uphold the mar
ket, and in order to do so sold then
American securities in great guam
titles. This was in August, and
produced the financial pressure il
Wall street, and corresponding dis
turbance all around the world.
