Number of china pipebowls adorned with
the portraits of Luther and Melanchthon
from painter on porcelain of Coburg, who
does large trade in china ware Though
a good Protestant, our painter has forgot
ten nearly all he ever learned about the
history of the reformation and the name OF
Luther's friend, Melanchthon, is entirely
blotted from his memory.
Wellington, on the other hand, Is a good
old friend of his, and acting upon the con
yiction that his correspondent had simply
misspelled the name of the Iron Duke he
proceeded to execute the order, and the
case of pipes was dispatched and delivered
in due course.
Imagine the astonishment Of the mer
chant on beholding the counterfeit present
ment of the two heroes, Luther in the black
garb of priest, and Wellington in tho rec
uniform bespangled with stars and orders
The dealer refused to keep the bowls, ane
the painter would not take them back. Th,
public got wind OF the affair; everybod,

OF the people of the Hawaiian Islands 1,
can be truly said that they are the most
amiable, careless, irresponsible people in
the world. The nearest approach to WORK
of any of them is in their employment u.
cowboys on the stock ranches. They ar,
wonderfully expert horsernen and also be
come adept in the use of the lasso. A ma
tive man, or a native woman for that mat
ter, is never so happy as when on n spirited
horse, going at a hard gallop, deckcd GU
with fiowery leis and streamers of brigh
colored cloth, in screaming conversation
with whole troop of companions. The,
ride their horses to death, they kill thei
babies with neglect and improper food ant
yet it cannot be said that their is a grain O
conscious cruelty in their nature.
There is no record OF. any violence eve-
done by them to a woman. A white woman
is absolutely safe among them withou
any protection and is exempt from insul
or even disrespect beyond what may com
from an unconscious usuage of etiquette
Many of them pass the greater part Of the
lives squatted on woven grass mats befor
the doors of their huts chatting incense
quentially and eating their meal of 70,
when the inclination comes to thcm.--

The general impression is that de-
tectives are appointed to ferret out
crime, arrest offenders and have them
punished. A State detective of this
city, however. seems to think differ

Gus thief, Galloway. down 20 Dover,
and between her sobs and tears aud
the earnest entreaties of tho detec.
tive. the Governor very CONSIDERABLY
RENTED the twenty lashes Galloway
was to have received to day.
The fact that Galloway besides being
anoted thief is Democratic hselel
and baliot-box suffer, and worth sew.

may have strengthened the plea with
the Governor for a remission of the
lashes.
As Galloway had been sentenced &c

We would simply remark that the re

Mr.. Lawyers Trip.

SOLoN, IOWA, Oct. +, 1898.
DEAR REGISTER:-AsI did not get
time before leaving Maryland TO give
an account of myself will now give
a rambling sketch. My brother and
1 went to Washington in the first
place. We went to the Horticultural
Department to call on Fl. E. Wander
man but were informed that he had
left some time before. Then we went
to the Pension Department and called
on our fellow townsmen, VIM Evans
and among others our esteemed Re-
preventative Hon. L. III. Funston and
son Bert. We were shown through
the department where the currency
is printed; fifteen hundred hands be-
ing employed. Next was the Nation
al monument. The elevator is run
free to the public, but it happened so
had passed In before our turn came
and they asked us to take seats until
the cage would return, which is a
half hour. We thought we could
hardly afford to lose that much time
and as others started to walk up we
started too. We took our time to it
and kept reading the inscriptions on
the blocks telling where they We're
from until spied one with Kansas
on it then got out my memorandum.
The figures on the wall showed us
that we were $50 feet up. Knowing
that was not half way yet we thought
we had better be getting along. The
way is lighted by electricity. We
reached the top in less than a half
hour and returned by elevator.
AT Baltimore we went to Fl Nc
Henry and concluded that ifan enemy
should approach us on Chesapeake
Bay they would have a warm receipt
ion. Close by is the Baltimore and
Ohio Freight Depot. There we saw
how the commerce between different
Nations is handled. We saw them
fill the hull of a vessel with walnut
logs, just such as are shipped by rail
from lola.
We were three days at the Worlds
Fair. One of which was Odd Fellows
day and another Indiana day. / do
not wonder that people do not under
take to describe the Fair as it is SIM
ply immense. The REGISTER has
followed me wherever | have been
and it is always a treat to read the
home news. / expect to be at home
in time to put in a straight Republi-
can vote. 1. b. LAWYER.

State Convention of the w. C. 7. U.

The State Convention was held at
Junction City, Sept. 26, q and 18th,
i'm the Presbyterian Church. A COM
mittee of young ladies and gentlemen
met the delegates at the train, and
conducted us in hacks to the hospita-
BILE home of Mrs. III. Nj. Hubble, the
Corresponding Secretary OF the juno
ton City Union, where we found
supper waiting us. After we had sat
isfied the 'inner man" our hostess
took us, two at a time, going up,
down, or across the street, and usher
ed us into her neighbOrs' best bed
room, where we felt welcome, "for the
door had been left upon the latch" for
our entrance. AS we went down
street the next morning on looking
away up into the air we saw "Wel-
come w. C. Il. u" and then we felt
doubly assured that we were welcome
to Junction City and those pleasant
and comfortable homes.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed with flags, grasses, ferns, palms
and fresh cut flowers, which were re-
placed by fresh bequets whenever
showing any signs of whitening.
The convention opened at 0 a. m.
with a goodly number of delegates in
attendance, which continued to stead
lily increase at the arrival of every
train until the church was we'll filled.
Dinner and supper were served each
day in the basement of the chu rch al
ternately by the Congregationalist
and Universalist churches and the
Colored Unions of the city.
There were reports sent in from al
most every district showing more and
better work done this year than in
any previous year. Mrs. S. F. Grubbs
wishing to retire from the State Pres
idency, Mrs. l.. B. Smith of Ottawa,
was elected to that office by large
majority; there were also seven dele
gates elected to the National conven-
ton soon to be held in Chicago.
Arrangements were made for the
entire convention to visit Fort Riley
on Thursday morning. When We ar
rived at the church we found convey
ances in waiting which were speedily
loaded and started to the Fort. The
cavalry was called out in full dress
