4 Maudamus Prayed For.

Mr.. NATION, by his attorney, Paul
Neumann, has applied to the SUI
preme Court for a writ of mandamus
to compel the Chairman of the Board
of Inspectors of Election for North
Hilo, E. W. Barnard, to issue a
certificate of election to him, Mat
toon. The application sets forth the
legal qualifications of a candidate for
Representative, and then AYERS that
the petitioner was duly elected Rep
resentative for North Hilo, 81 votes
having been cast for him, two more
than were received by the opposing
candidate having the highest number
of votes. The complaint further says
that two of these votes were thrown
out because the cross opposite the
name was enclosed in a parenthesis.

THE LATE Mr.. STURGEON.

Charles MADDEN Sturgeon was
born IN 1884 of Huguenot descent.
His parents were pious folks of the
Congregationalist denomination,
and while yet youth, relinquish-
ing the views of his family on the
subject of infant baptism he became
associated with the congregation at
Cambridge of which the celebrated
Robert Hall had been the pastor.
Though Robert Hall died three
years before Surgeons birth, no
doubt the style of the great Bap
fist preacher as revealed in his
published works, served in no small
degree to model the form of argu-
ment and expression adopted by his
young follower who was only nine
teen years of age when he began to
preach in London, having already
gained some experience as a men,
Der of the preachers association of
his Cambridge congregation, in
which capacity he was accustomed
to hold services in the surrounding
villages.
Els powerful preaching, and it
must be added, his eccentricities of
manner, gathered such crowds of
hearers, that Exeter Hall and even
q special auditorium in the Crystal
Palace were unable to accommodate
the numbers who fiocked to hear,
or see, the new preacher.
In 1861 the Methodist TabeT-
nacle" was built for him, at cost
of $4,000, and this has been Mr.
Surgeons headquarters ever since
1t is said that $4,000 copies of each
issue of the sermons are sold, and
that they have been translated into

The advertisement with regard
to Uncle Sam, originally published
IN leading Chilean daily, will be
found interesting by our readers.
1t would not take many Jokes in
this genre to precipitate war.
Possibly Uncle Sans uItimatum
has led the fiery Chileans to take
another view of the American
Eagle, and in any case it is pretty
safe to assume that the advertise
ment has now been withdrawn.

Mackenzie, Kt. NJ. D., who died of
bronchitis in London on the Sd
inst. was born at LeytonstOne in Es-
sex in 1897 and was educated in the
medical schools of London, Paris
and Vienna. He was for some
years physician to the London
Hospital where he lectured on dis
eases of the throat. He also
founded a hospital for the special
study aad treatment of such dis
eases.
Sir NJ. Mackenzie is the author of
many standard works on diseases
of the throat, and he claims the
merit of having introduced the use
of the laryngoscope into English

New Zealand Herald of January %:
FORMATION OF A PoLYNEsIAN
SOCIETY.
At meeting at Wellington of gem
tlemen interested in the formation OF
Polynesian Society, Major Gudgeon,
Judge Of the Native Land Court, pre-
sided.
Mr.. :. Percy Smith, Surveyor-G
eral, in moving that the Society be
formed, explained that in response TO
a circular issued by him, 112 members
had Joined the proposed society. They
were scattered over the whole area OF
Australasia and Polynesia, and num-
bered among them some of the most
distinguished linguists and ethnolO-
gists who had visited or dwelt in
Oceania. The response from Homo
lulu was particularly encouraging, as
over twenty members had been en-
rolled therefrom. 1t had been long
considered a desirable thing that an
effort should be made to rescue from
oblivion the fast fading knowledge OF
the past among the natives of New
Zealand and the South Seas. 1t was
intended to issue, if possible, a quar-
terly journal of transactions which
should contain papers on the history,
archaeology, Ian guage, customs, poetry,
etc., of Polynesia, Melanesia, Micro
nesia and the whole Pacific people.
The motion was seconded by Mr..
| Tregear and carried.
Office-bearers were elected as fol-
lows: Patron, Her Majesty the Queen
of Hawaii; President, Mr.. Seth Smith,
Chief Judge of Native Land Court
Council, Messrs. ]. r. Blair, DR.. Car

Smith, E. rregear and Rev. W. j.

Messrs. S. Percy Smith, F. r. G. S.
and Edward Tregear, f. R. G. s.

two years, and after that time as shall
be decided at the annual meeting. ST

Speaking Of burrows our
" Hendry Breakers" by actual
test, will turn a furrow better
than any other breaker in the
market. We tried it at Waia-
lac, " all by its lonesome " and
the result was so gratifying
that it got into the papers.
The very next day plantation
manager called on US and said
he had read the article and
wanted SIX of the PJog0s, but
would not order them until he
had compared their work with
other and older plows. One
of ours was shipped to the
plantation and tried with a half
dozen others. The test was
eminently satisfactory to US
and to him. We have shipped
the other five plows to him and
he writes that the Hendry
Breaker did the work easier
and better than any of the
others"

Mr.. Sturgeon celebrated the issue

In addition to his preaching,
Sturgeon found time to write sun
dry works, the chief being the
Treasury Of David. He also
founded and edited a periodical
called the Sword and Trowel.
Mr.. Surgeons untiring energy
and well known business abilities
caused many of his wealthy admir-
ers to make him their almoner, and
he has been called upon to admins

bequeathed for religious, educational
or charitable purposes. Thus, IN

Orphanage, and in subsequent years
the Pastors College, the Colportage
Association, the Supplementary
Pastors Aid Fund, and other SINH

In 1867 he severed his connection
with the Baptist Union, thereby
giving rise to controversy which
was only closed by his last illness
He recently published two volumes

THE PRESlDENT-ELECT,

ExMooR, Va, Nov. 30.-The chief Incl
iient of the day on Broadwater island WAS
the arrival of Sheriff Samuel Jarvis of
Northampton county with summons,
which was served upon President-elect
Cleveland The sheriff was seen by a
reporter, but was unable to furnish any
information, except that the summons WAS
for Mr.. Cleveland to appear before the
chancery court at Richmond, Va. He
could give no particulars on the subject.
and Mr. Cleveland could not be seen.
The shooting party had excellent sport
today. Mr.. Cleveland occupied a floating
blind, with George Doughty. He bagged
nine brant, six red-heads aud five butter
balls.
The program for tomorrow is practically
The same AS was today's. So far as learn
ell, no definite time has been determined
npon for Mr.. Cleveland's return to the
north. 1t seems probable, however, that
the president-elect may spend another sun
day upon Broadwater island.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 30-The summons
served upon Mr. Cleveland today was
issued by the clerk of the chancery court
here today. citing the presdent-elect TO
sppear in court on Monday in a chancery
suit in connection with the state debt
commission William Smith sues the
commissioners individually for $1,000 for
legal services rendered.

IA RAn BREAK.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Nov so-The Stone City
bank, private institution, suspended
today ON account of a run, caused by the
lhutting down of the Enterprise company,
one of the departments of the big wire
fence industry. The bank is operated by
H. Fisk g. Sons. and was thought to be
one of the soundest financial institutions
in the state. The failure is a heavy one.
The Fisk Brothers were the proprietors OF
the Enterprise company. 1t is estimated
that nothing less than $500, 900 will settle
the firms affairs. Many of the buslaess
houses of Joliet kept accounts at the bank,
srd its suspension will result In great
embarrassment to them. The greaf est
sufferers will be laboring men. The bank
paid interest on deposits, and large num-
Der CT mill employees entrusted 1t with
their savings.
The elder Fish had the reputation OF be-
Ing one of the ablest financiers of the west.
His credit WAS gilt edged, he being rated
ut $500, 900 and his SONS at AS much more.
There has never been even a rumor Affect
Ing the solvency of either the bank or the
mill uutil last night. The failure Of the
mill il attributed to lack of trade. 1t IS
not believed that the banks condition Is
beyond lesuscitation, and there is every
prospect That its affairs Will be straight
ened out speedily. It's deposits ranged
from $500, 600 to $500, 600. AS for the mill,
IL is not believed that there is any posi-
bllity of a resumption of operations.

Maude cast up before the ticket
window like bit of wreckage on the

her hand. She counted them. There
were but five, and the fare is three
cents. Then she went for her pocket
book. 1t wasn't in her pocket. People
behind her were bowling for her to
hurry up and get out of the way. She
accused verybody in general of having
picked her pocket; and then suddenly
she remembered where it was.
"Howdy!" she screamed, give me my

The crowd howled. Meude was

have to be deposited.
