THE oABINET NTEETING.
An Informal Discussion of Hawaiian
Affairs Is Held.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S1.-The discussion
of the Hawaiian question at the cabinet
meeting today was informal and there
being nothing before the body for it's
consideration no action was taken. The
matter OF the reception of the commits
sioners of the provisional government of
Hawaii concerns only the president and
secretary of state with whom their bust
ness must be transacted. The commits
sioners OF course will be received courte-
ously and their proposition listened to
with sympathy, but the recommendation
that may be made them will have to be
determined later. 1t may be said that
there will be no precipitate action upon
the matter. 1t cannot be disposed of in q
day or week. There will be no message
to Congress from the president until after
the commissioners have been heard and
then only, it is surmised, in case favor
able recommendation upon their propo-
sition shall have been decided upon.

1875 he eloped with married woman
from Robin Station, :. c., and went to
Lexington, Ga, as f. A. Hewlett. The
foregoing biography was published in
papers in this vicinity in 1889, and
Howard brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages for libel. The trial brought forth
depositions from South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, New York. England,
Rome aud even India, with the result
that Howard got II verdict for one cont
damages and was ordered to pay costs.
The one cent was awarded him because
one unimportant allegation against him
was not sustained.
ELEVEN YEARS AGO.
1t was in 1882 that Howard first ap-
peared In jackson as pastor of the
First Baptist Church, and he held the
chair of moral philosophy and modern
languages in the Southwestern Uni
vcrsity there. He became involved in
scandal and was asked to resign his
pastorate. He refused and the congre-
CATION rose up and elected him. Then
he started Il rival congregation and be-
gan the publication Of newspaper to
blast his opponents. This was the oc-
casion for the first expose of his career,
which resulted in the damage suit
Soon after that he went to New York
to practice law, as he said Two years
ago he was in Brooklyn in charge of a
paper known as 1.-The Church, Home
and State" He took frequent trips to-
London and Paris, and sometimes came
to jackson, Tenn. He asserts he was
in Paris at the time William Lord
Moore was operating in Lordon. He
says he has seen Moore. About a
year ago he returned to Jackson to re-
side DcrmanentlV
His recent trial in the Federal Dis
trict Court at Jackson, Judge Ham-
mond presiding, was the centre of in
terest for large section of the people
in this country. Detectives from Scot
land Yard positively identified Howard
with William Moore, ex-miuister to
st. James. Robert Lincoln was a prom
inont witness for the prosecution
Withal the trial resulted in u hung
jury, after Howard had made speech
in his own Defence, in which he,- sx.
coriatcd all those identified with his1
prosecution. He desired his now triale
postponed until next term of court, butp
Judge Hammond favored an carly dis{
position of the case, and reset it fol{

stronger and more damaging testimony
will be brought in.

In my great desire for the success OF
this measure, i cannot restrain the sug.
gestion that it's success can only be at
tanned by means of unselfish counsel on
the part of tariff reform, and as result
of their willingness to subordinate per-
sonal desires and ambitions to the gen
eral good. The local interests affected
by the proposed reform are SO numerous
and SO varied that If all are insisted
upon the legislation embodying the re-
form must inevitably fail.

confiding people the most scrupulous

vancement of the greatness and pros

CLEANSING THE EARS. -Fcw all
mcnts are more common among chill
dren than earachc. Most mothers are
unconscious OF tho fact that they are
themselves the cause of much suffer
ing in the children by attacks of this
painful malady. In her anxiety that
her childrcns ears should be thorough
ly clean, the mother endcavOrs to
remove every particle of car-waX from
the inner portion Of the car by boring.

instrument, covered with Il towel. o..
with the corner Of q towel twisted to a
point. Nature knows how to care for
these hidden recesses far better than
docs the most accomplished mother.
This poi tfon of the ear requires no at
tentlOn. Nature takes care of it in the
most admirable manner. The mem
brance lining the canal of the ear con
talns great number Of little glands
which secretc Il waXy substance having
an Intensely bitter taste. The purpose
OF this is to prevent the entrance Of
insects and to keep the ear clean. as
the layer of wax dries in scales, which
rapidly fall away. thus removing with
them any particle OF dust or others
foreign matters which may have found
entrance to the ear. Nothing more
irritating than few drops of olive oil,
warmed to temperature little
above blood heat, should ever be plac-
ed in the earn. Y. Weekly.
