A Corpse in His sample Case.

NaulOnai ADVERTISER.
One would hardly believe it possible that
human body would ever be hauled around the
country to advertise certain brand of en-
balming fluid. Yet to demonstrate the eff
cacy of his system certain st. Louis drum
mer carries this unique sample. For three
years this mummy has been transported on
the railroads as an ordinary sample case
would be; and, indeed, there is no outward
sign which would indicate the uncanny nature
OF the package. OF course, the longer the
body is preserved the more of an advertise
ment it is for the fluid in the veins of the
cadaver. The box is zinc-lined, and does not
exceed the limits of the railroad excess bag
gage rule In weight.

THE PROVIDENCE ELECTION.

Mr. Potter, the Democratic nominee for
Mayor in the City of Providence, is gain
ing strength every day and he will be
elected, notwithstanding it is understood
he is unpopular with some Of the whole
sale liquor dealers. Mr.. Potter has the
support OF the rank and file OF the Demo-
cratic party and OF the business men in
general, including such men as Mr..
Perkins OF the Rhode Island Horse Works
and Mr.. Fletcher, the woolen manufac-
turer. Besides, he has the support Of
every member OF the Advance Club in
Providence which is an organization
devoted to developing the business inter-
ests of Providence.
We expect Mr.. Potter will get large
majority and that the election will be
decided the first day.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

1t does not take long speeches nor
elaborate arguments to prove to the voters
OF Pawtucket that changes are needed In
our constitution.
These changes can only be brought
about by a constitutional convention.
Our experience with by-elections for
the simple Office of Mayor, where the ex-
pense has been about 1000 for the city
and about $500 for each of the parties, has
about disgusted the voters with the
present majority system OF voting.
II must go on in this way so long as the
Republicans rule Rhode Island and until
the people rise up and make change by
electing members OF the General Assembly
who will call Constitutional Conven-
ton.

HARDLY CONSISTENT.

Mayor Goodwin desires to saddle the
city with $1,000 year for five extra police
men, but he finds it too costly to the city,
In his opinion, to allow an appropriation
for the needed highway work. The good
weather is slipping by rapidly when this
work can be done but he refuses to sign
the ordinance making the appropriation.
Because the City Council does not do Just
a. he says, he puts in his "ipse dixit" and
throws about three hundred men out of
employment and prevents needed work
from being done.

At this crisis the Princess Ruth, hideous old
pagan who had sturdily held by the old idol
worship of the islands, made hec appearance
and with party Of her followers went out to
the front Of the lava flow and performed
round Of idol rites propitiatory Of the goddess
Pele. These included sacrifices to the goddess
Of living animals pigs and white chickens
bottles of brandy and whisky. bright colored
cloths, red handkerchiefs, &c. These articles
which are believed to be specially acceptable to
Pele, were thrown into the lava food, though
some of the irreverent assert that Ruth cheated
the goddess out of the liquor and sacrificed the
empty bottles. The curious fact about the whole
business is that the lava flow stopped then and
there and did not progress foot further to-
ward Hilo. Ruth may have shrewdly timed her
visit when the flow began to show signs of ex-
haustion, but the fact that it did stop coinci-
dent with the rites to Pele. has served to revive
the never thoroughly extinguished native faith
in the old idols. Even Mrs Dominis. the heir
apparent (now the queen), and one of the pill
lars OF the leading native church in Honolulu
(known the stone church), is said to have
made pilgrimage to the volcano and offered
sacrifice to Pele for relief from some ailment
THE VOLCANO WOODS.
Seven miles from Hilo we struck what is
called here "the woods" delightful tropical
forest a perfect tangle of luxuriant vegetation,
bright-colored flowers, tree ferns, creeping
plants and vines. In one part is a fourishing
cocoanut grove, an exceptional growth Of this
coast tree at this distance from salt water. A
portion Of this forest has been cleared of the
underground, and coffee plants set out under
the taller trees, as they prosper best in the
shade. Skirting the forest were specimens of
the graceful umbrella tree"

THE HALFWAY HOUSE.

THE HALFWAY HOUSE.
There is q Halfway house, native grass
house-on this side OF the mountain. but We
did not stop there, the house is under ban Just
now because of the discovery lately of some
cases Of leprosy among the native occupants.
We were obliged instead, to take our cold lunch
uncomfRtably in forest of tree-ferns which,
though gigantic for ferns, did not amount to
much as a protection from the pelting rain The
specimens Of tree-fern seen on this route are
said to be among the finest known. In this
vicinity are quantities Of the edible ohelo
berry, resembling the cranberry somewhat in
shape and color, but which is said to be a vari-
ETY. Of the BURBERRY or huckleberry Of Amer
lea. This is Pele's sacred berry.
Our course was mainly over old lava fields,
but at points skirted upon the great lava
flows Of 1866 and of 1901. The first con-
tinued over year, extended distance of sixty
miles, and stopped within six miles of Hilo.
The eruption Of 1901 continued for nine
months, but was more rapid in its movement
and reached within dtree-Quarters of mile of
Hilo!
The enormous lava river was impending d.
rectly over Hilo and the people of the pleasant
coast city were abandoning it as certainly
doomed for the fate Of Herculaneum.

SHOW far is it called to the grave7"
The boy looked up from his play
"The grave! have not heard Of the grave;
1t must be far away.
soften the sailors have told me
OF lands where the palm trees wave,
OF lands Of beauty and wonder; .4r-
But they never spoke Of the grave"
Naught he knew of the silent grave;
Naught he knew but his play and prayer;
Yet his lifes travel was nearly DER,
His little feet just there.
SHOW far is 1t called to the grave."
The lover looked up with a smile
"Ahi from the golden days Of love
1t must be many mile.
"Our road lies yet in the sunshine,
Through songs and through scented May;
Far, far of is the silent grave,
And Its shadows cold and gray"
He could not see that his darling,
WI tn the bride flowers in her hair
And the wedding token on her hand,
Was almost, almost there.
"How far Is 1t called to the grave!'
The mother turned with tear;
White grew the rose in her cheek,
Her heart stood still with fear.
SHOW far. IT'S close to the hearth-stone;
Alas for the baby feet
The little bare feet that all unled
Haste there with steps 90 feetl
"And alas for the aged footsteps
And those that have gone astrayi
And alas for the broken-hearted,
They ind 1t far away.
"Yet the longest journeys have their END,
And the darkest shadows fee,
And even the dreariest rivers
Find their way into the sea-"
How far is 1t to the grave!
1t Is only life, dear friend;
And the longest life IL short at last
When Heaven Is at the end.

midnight, and with the sharp pull up this
ascent, following upon the hardships Of the

down the Cliff to take the ladies mp, and the
animal that bore the fat woman was an object
Of sympathy.
When the volcano trip becomes the fad Of
tourist travel, as it is likely to be very soon no
doubt there will be an elevator for this cliff,

The village Of Hilo strikes one very
agreeably, spread out spaciously with ample
gardens filed with all kinds of tropical
plants, flowers and trees. The country
back, sloping toward the shores, tinted
with the pale green Of the cane, contrasted with
the dark green Of the forests on the hills, made,
with the blue waters Of the beautiful bay and
the white surf on the beach, most charming
picture. At the house Of our host, Mr.. Hitch
cock. we had hospitable reception, and, re-
iieved Of our wet clothes, were prepared to do
the fullest justice TO the supper, which
introduced to us several novel but pala-
table dishes and preparations OF native fruits
and vegetables. Some of the ladies of the
party who were fatigued by the trip, tried the
treatment, Of kneading and shampooing the
body, stretching and cracking the joints, &C.,
In use In the Islands from time immemorial.
In this case the lonsi los~i was administered by
