A DRUNKEN MOTHER.

DhONhf2N mol
Such love is the power unto salvation,
both for the individual and for society.
A mother was arraigned in police
court charged with drunkenness. She
was guilty. The judge fined her S., in
default of which she yras to go to the
island. A little ragged urchin stood by
and heard the sentence. He cried to the
judge, wait a minute, judge, I'll get
the money" He rushed out to all the
places of business where he was known.
He secured from all his friends all tha
none possible. He told them of his
mother difficulty; that she was to go
to the island. He secured S3.35. He
came back and poured the money out on
the judges desk and then said bravely
to him, Its all could get now, Judge.
but if you will send me to the island for
her I'm not so large, but III stay longer
and work out the balance"
The poor woman, overwhelmed by this
evidence of her child's devotion, rose and
snatched him to her heart. while she
cried between her sobs and tears that
she would be a better woman from that
day for the boys sake. The Judge re-
mltted the fine, and from that hour she
was changed woman.
A child's passionate love for mother
had lifted her from the ditch.

Another reason for regarding this system

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 23.-The
steamship Alameda from Sidney and
Auckland via Honolulu arrived in port
before this morning bringing news
that nothing Of special Importance had
transpired at the Hawaiian islands since
the Australia left there nearly a week
before. The arrival of the Alameda had
been anxiously awaited and preparations
had been made to secure promptly any
news which she might bring. The copy
right letter of the Associated Press was
received at and placed on the Western
Union wires at once for trans
mission East 1t was an hour or two
later before any passengers on the
steamer could be seen in order to OBJ
tain from them personal accounts of
affairs at Honolulu.
Besides the Associated Press letter the
steamer also brought copies of an ex-
ira edition of the Honolulu Commercial
Advertiser published just before the
steamer left Honolulu, which contained
a dispatch dated Washington, Nov. 2,
and received in Honolulu by way of
Auckland, stating that President Cleve-
land was preparing a message to con-
gress in favor Of the restoration of the
monarchy in Hawaii.
Interviews with prominent persons Of
Honolulu indicate that there was a gen.
eral disbelief in the correctness of the
dispatch but 1t was also noticeable that
according to the majority Of statements
it was evident that such a policy on the
part Of the United States could not be
carried out without protest if not re-
sistance from the provisional govern
ment. The Alameda brought only ten
cabin passengers from Honolulu and
there were no prominent persons among
them. The majority were ladies return
ing from pleasure trips.
The Hawaiian newspapers have very
little editorial comment on the political
situation on the islands. The royalist
paper, the Bulletin, in commenting on
the recent events says: There is one
thing as clear as the sun in the present
situation. The United States distinctly
repudiates the pretended right of the
provisional government of the Hawaiian
islands to offer this country to the
United States" To this the Hawaiian
Star replies as follows: The United
States have made no reply whatever
as yet to the annexation proposal
Should they do so in negative way
it could not be because they had ques-
toned the authority of a government,
the valid status of which they had re-
peatedly and fully recognized. 1t would
simply be because they did not want
the islands"

THE GOVERNOR TALKS OUT.

while 1 have the highest regard for
the legal opinion OF Attorney General
Smith," said Governor Matthews last
night referring TO the opinion of that
official relative To the absence of dis
cretionary powers in Secretary Of State
Myers in issuing articles Of incorpora-
ton to the Roby athletic club, yet that
opinion will not change my position in
the premises in tls least. nor alter my
plans already matured in case there is
an attempt TO pull of the fight at
Roby arranged for tomorrow night.
II am, however. in receipt of d tele-
gram which came 70 me this morning
from the sheriff OF the county i'm which
he states the fight has been postponed
Until Dec. 4. / have also direct infOT-
nation from an agent Of mine in Chi
cago. who is in a position to know and
which further establishes the postpone
ment.
II am determined TO root out from
the state Of Indiana this curse to its
soil and shall go 10 any length in doing
so that the law will. permit L even
think that / would be justified by public
opinion in straining the boundaries of
the law a little.
There is abundant information at my
command which has convinced me to
moral certainty that the Roby athletic
club is nothing more or less than the
old Columbian athletic club. and its
incorporation would only revive the lat
ter organization under another name.
Notwithstanding the opinion OF the
Encouragement / am confident. though
no lawyer, that secretary Of state Is
vested with certain discretionary pow
ers for the protection Of the states in
terests. 1t is certainly the spirit of the
law that he should have and Mr.. Myers
will not even now issue TO the club ar
ticles Of Incorporation if he will be, as
in the past, advised by me, and 1 think
he will.
The law Of 1891 was passed for the
purpose of making the Office Of secre-
fary OF state a source Of revenue TO the
state and when a body Of men come be-
fore him with lie upon their lips and
boldly attempt a fragrant violation of
the law to the detriment Of he states
interests, that official is certainly in
duty bound TO act in accordance with
his obligations. It's 50 apparent. Here
is body OF men who claim TO have a.
capital Of but 81 200 with which they
intend to control property of which there
is visible several thousands Of dollars
worth. And further. they contemplate
constructing a canal from Michigan city
10 Wolf lake, and build BOAT houses

resort The idea is preposterous.

station this morning, by which seven
strong men met death in its most ter
Eible form. and from which a number of
others bear burns and injuries that will

The building destroyed was 81 by 40
feet, with twenty-five sleeping rooms.
In 1t were the telegraph office, post

ployed on the construction Of the dam.
According TO the statement of men who
were aroused in time to escape il was
just forty minutes from the time the
alarm was given at about 4:40 until il
had collapsed and was simply a pile of
embers. There We're thirty-five men
sleeping on the second and third floors,
