INDIAN ptpnepArIon CLAIMS.

Attention is directed TO the fol.
lowing pai agraph seut 10 this Office
from Washington. 1nere are few
old citizens who remember the de
predatioDs of the Iudians when
this country was FIRST settled.
lhese depredations may be traced
up and evidence brought out suf.
ticient to establish a claim under
this law. Read, aud trace back
through I mily legends TO ascsr-
tain u you are nnteuttled to part
Of this appropriation:
"Just before adjournment Con.
gress passed an Indian Depreda
tion law that will probably put
S5O, 900, 900 in circulation. This
law practically removes all re-.
sirictions and limitations. and
every settler or his heir can now
get pay in full for all losses occa-
stoned by Indians, Henry N. Copp,
the well.known lawyer Of WASH
ington, ID. g., will send free Of
cost a copy Of this law TO all who
will apply 10 him for the same"
While on this subject ve wish TO
add that the San Franeikco Ex-
aminer has established in Wash
ingion, ID. g., bureau TO be called
'Examiner Bureau Of Claims"
which will be ofgreat benefit to all
persons having claims against the
government OF any nature or de-
scription whatsoever. The pension
fees chargeable by attorneys have
for some time been limited by law,
aud under the recent act Of March
3, 1891, transferring the lurisdic-
ton OF Indian Depreciation cases
from the Interior Department TO
the Court Of Claims, Congress not
only limited the fees, but in order
10 check the rapacity OF the claim
agents, cancelled all existing con.
traetA aud fee agreements between
client aud attorney. Congress was
led to take this action on account
Of facts brought to their notice
that by combination among tho
leading claim agents a range of
fees from 33t TO so per cent had
been established. The vast mass
Of government claims are still nh.

sary clerical force Of a large

POISONED AT a WEDDING.


At a wedding in st. Matthews,
near Louisville, KY, last week, q
sumptuons supper was served,
every delicacy known being on the
table. After the repast, the guests
began TO feel i'll, and many start
ed for their homes. In a few hours
every one of the sixty or seventy
persons who had partaken Of the
supper were seriously i'll and the
symptoms indicated that they had
been poisoned. At first Il was
thought the Ice cream served had
caused the illness, then IL was
attributed TO the mushrooms aud
chicken salad. Mr.. Albert Herr,
father Of the bride, himself seri.

some unknown enemy had poisoned

used for drinking and cooking was
drawn and the matter will be in

DELIGHTFUL MUSICALE.

The musicale at Kawaiahao Semi
nary was largely attended yesterday
evening, so much so that several had
to stand. Her Majesty the Queen,
attended by Hon. A. S. Cleghorn,
Major j. w. Robertson, and Ladies
in Waiting Mrs. Chas. B. Wilson
and Mrs. Chas. Clark, arrived dur
ing the evening to witness the enter
tainment given by the girls. The
students of the Seminary made their
first public appearance on this occa-
sion in their new uniform of navy
blue with white trimmings, and made
fine appearance as they filed into
the hall.
The concert commenced shortly
after O'Clock, opening with the
chanting of the Lords Prayer. Miss
Susanna Patch creditably led the
singing Of the different classes. The
singing of the girls was charming,
the many voices blending well to-
gether, and was o further illustration
of the good work done by the teach
err, Miss Patch. An interesting pro-
gram was rendered to the extreme
delight of the audience. At the con-
clu'sion Of the entertainment, Mr..
Anterior proposed a vote of thanks to
the teachers and pupils Of the school
which was unanimously endorsed by
the assemblage.

OFF HIS BASE.

1t is not of very great Importance,
bat Mr.. G.. w. Ashford did not state
the case of his native country cor
rectly, regarding the franchise, in his
speech Thursday night. The fran
cllise differs in different provinces of
the Dominion, some of them, how
ever, having property franchises
Federal elections have been conduct
ed in each Province under the pro-
vincial franchise, there having been
no Dominion franchise created. The
Senators Cor Nobles) in Canada are
appointed nominally by the Sovereign,
but in reality by the partisan DomiL-
ion Cabinet of the day. AS the Con
servative party has been in power
nineteen years out of the twenty-four
that the Confederation has existed,
the Senate has become a sort OF Asy-
lum for Aged Tories. Mr.. Ashford
is unfortunate in citing Canada as an
example of the radical institutions
he processes to believe in for Hawaii.
The people have no say there in the
choice of any federal or provincial
officials, except Cabinet Ministers and
they only through their legislative
representatives.
