Hawaiian Heroisnn .

On July II, during a terrific gale at
Kawathae, three canoes, containing thir-
teen men and boy, were blown out to
sea. Learning of the calamity, sloop
owner of that place put his fine craft al
the disposal of any one who would go to
the rescue, and native sailor raised a
volunteer crew of five and started. One
Of this number, boy, was lashed by
ropes half way up the mainmast to keep
a lookout, which he did for hours in the
face of the gale. 1t was near sunset
when the lost men were found out at
sea clinging desperately to their frail
crafts, and were rescued and brought
back. Great credit is due the native
sailors, and particularly to the boy on
the lookout, whose position in the cold
and wet was difficult and painful one
to maintain for so long a time. 1t was
he who sighted the canoes, of which two
were found, the other having drifted in
shore early in the day with its exhausted
owner, who gave the alarm.-San Fran

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23-The United

Of land at Sheridan's Point, on the Po-
tomac, near Mount Vernon, and optic rs
have been given on other lands in that
neighborhood, and it is thought that at no

up to some extent for its want of foresight
in not buying the 200 acres from Mount
Vernon mansion tract which the late John
A Washington offered President Pierce
for 500. 900 some years before it was sold
to the Mount Vernon association. This,
making up'' will, it is said, consist of
buying up as fast needed, the various
tracts of land that were portion of the
original plantation of Mount Vernon, and
the establishment there from time to time
of the various military and other works in
connection with the army and navy of the

TO HELP M'KINLEY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Secretary Foster
is going to Ohio to make some speeches.
He will begin at Toledo AMI then place
himself in the hands of the state commit
tee for further engagements.
AS the campaign goes on and as the
day of election draws nigh" said the secre-
tary, the certainty OF a Republican
victory becomes more and more apparent.
For my part, never from the first saw
any reason to be a doubling Thomas. At
the present time the Democratic candidate
and the Democratic speakers are on the
defensive. They are compelled to explain,
and can not discuss the issues with that
boldness that belongs TO Ma jor Mckinley.
If you have kept track of the public meet
ings throughout Ohio. you will see that
wherever Mckinley has spoken he has
drawn immense crowds, and the people
have been wonderfully enthusiastic. There
is unanimity of sentiment among our
Republicans that can not be divided by
any third party movement. and they are
presenting solid front that can not be
broken by any amount of imported talent.
1t Is noticeable that the Democratic party
with us always goes outside of its own
state for its speaking material"

Her Picture Appears OH Her Gravestone.
Mrs. Ralph Shaffer died last spring.
She had been married but short time,
and was one Of the city bellies. Mr..
Shaffer erected a fine monument to the
memory of his dead wife, who was in
tered in her mothers burial plot The
young woman's mother dislikes Shaffer
exceedingly, and refused to allow him
to have his wife's name engraved on the
stone. Not wishing to have trouble
with her, Shaffer has not insisted upon
doing so.
Recently distinct shadow Of the late
Mrs. Shaffer appeared on the tombstone.
It grew until the shadow became life
size. The mother was wroth, and had
the monument makers rub the stone
down with pumice, but they could not
efface the shadow At first sight the
shape has as much resemblance to a
mans form as woman's, but by con-
tinued gaze one seems to see woman g

hair done up at the back of the head
The neck and chin show plainly, as do
also the shoulders, and there is scarf

particular case, he believed that it was no
