HOW NE LEPERs ANNoYED M
KANIAAINAs.

As before stated the hiding places of
the lepers are in caves in a deep and
almost inaccessible gulch. No taro is
cultivated there, but wild bananas,
taro, ape oranges, pia, guavas and
mangoes are abundant. For many
years past the lepers have been in the
habit of coming down in the night to
steal taro, pigs, fowls and other prop
erty belonging to industrious natives
who inhabit the main valley. But as
the latter do not possess firearms,
they were unable to prevent the dep
relations.
The lepers have never been on terms
of friendship with the kamaaina's
since they commenced these acts.
Another thing which the residents of
the lower valley objected to, but in
vain, was the lepers poluting their
drinking water. There is only one
stream in Kalalau, and its source is
near the stronghold Of the lepers.
They battle in this stream and the
people below are compelled to drink of
the same water, as no other can be OBJ
tanned.

AFTER THE FAIR IS OVER.

1t Will Cost Nearly Million to Put the
Park In Condition.
The directors Of the fair are beginning
to ponder very thoughtfully over the
fate, after the fair is ended, of the big
white buildings. The fair management,
before any Of the work of alteration or
construction was begun at Jackson park,
was placed by the park commissioners
under 100000 bonds to put the park
back after the fair in just the shape in
which it was before work was COM
menced. In the early days of the fair,
when the skillful promoter was doing
his work, good round sum was put
down in the column of assets, which
sum was to be realized from the sale, at
the conclusion Of the exposition, Of the
materials that went into the construc-
ton of the various buildings. It now
develops that the work of removal will
be so expensive that the materials will
not pay for the process of taking away.
It is estimated by experts that Of the
wreckage Of the fair Is per cent will he
waste, and that whether the salvage on
the remaining Is per cent will pay for
removing the whole is very doubtful.
About $4,000 carloads of rubbish must
be taken away bodily from tho fair
grounds. This equals about 5000, 900
cubic yards. These figures show the
enormous amount Of work to be done.
About the only valuable parts of the
buildings are the floors, in which there
is considerable good. lumber.-World's s

His View Of the Cause Of tho Labor and
54 Financial Troubles. n.
What Is the cause Of the labor and
financial troubles?''
In the first place, the mills and facto-
ries, furnaces and foundries Of the world
can produce more than the world will
use. They produce, however, as long as
they can sell at profit, and when the
supply is too great the mills and facto-
ries must close, and then the laborers
are thrown out of employment. Then
the people become economical, and the
economy adds to the general distress.
The truth is that the extravaganza of
the people does not keep pace with the
invention of labor saving machinery.
''The machines of the world are doing
the work of hundreds of millions of
men, and when the machines stop the
laborers employed in making and feed
ing and running these machines stop,
too, and then hard times come. Those
who are little ahead begin to draw
from the savings banks, and the savings
banks collect their loans, and the other

currency famine, and then few banks
fail and lack Of confidence becomes gen.
eral, and then comes panic. After q
time the surplus is used, mills and fac
tories light their fires, the men go to
work, people put their money in the
banks because confidence has returned,
and again notes and drafts and prom
ises take the place Of money, and an
other era Of prosperity commences.
"The farmers work like the manufac-
turers. They either raise too little or
too much corn or wheat or pork. Once
in a few years, by accident, they hit the
proper proportion, and then prices are
good, and the farmers are prosperous. It
is probable that as the manufacturer
and farmer become better acquainted
with the world-when they know what
is being made and what is planted in va
rious countries-they can in some degree
lessen or put off the present evils. But
do not see how they can be surely or per-
manently avoided. do not believe the
purchase of silver by our government
had much to do with the trouble. Rob
ert G. Ingersoll in New York World.

of this battle should lose it's all. While
Mr.. German does not show his hand until
the time comes, he is always alert, active
and full of purpose.
That moment is now here, and Mr.. Cor
man is at the front. Passage of a bill that
will be on the whole satisfactory to the
country, and at the same time make some
concession to the silver producing states
and avert the disaster which hangs over
them, will be great triumph for the lead
ership of Mr.. German in the Democratic
party. His friends think it will make him
the Democratic nominee three years hence.
Vigorous Senator Voorhees,.
One reason why the plan to use the vice
president in forcing vote never amounted
to anything was the fierce opposition thereto
of Senator Voorhees,, the repeal leader. Mr..
VOORHEES, denounced the plan in language
that was more picturesque than that which
he usually employs. mo one but miser-
able whelp of plutocrat would ever think
sof such thing" said Mr.. Voorhees,. mo
one but besotten, selfish moneybags
would ever propose that the vice president
of the United States purge himself and
override the traditions and liberties of the
senate. No one but an internal gold wor-
Shipping scoundrel would ever propose that
honorable senators should become party to
such villainous scheme"
When it comes to using English language
in a declamatory or denunciatory sense,
Mr.. VOORHEES, is without rival in the SEN
ate. When asked few days ago how long
he was willing to continue the battle for
unconditional repeal, he replied: You may
say that we ape ready to stay here all the
fall, all winter and all next summer In or.
der to pass this bill, and If that does not
continue the story long enough-why, you
may say that we viii stay here until the
angel Gabriel blows hS trumpet." !"

ment that the trial and decision in the
Panama case was influenced by political
considerations and quotes current gossip
n Paris to prove the correctness of his
belief The decision was altered, he
says, after the speech of Cavaignac, so
that it might weaken the effect of the

before the reading of the decisions Eiffel
was informed that he had been acquitted.
The decision had been completed origi

Dangers of the Season.

The sudden changes in weather in the
latter part of the winter and early spring
are source of colds and coughs. This
season is particularly dangerous one
for persons with weak lungs or of deli
cate constitution. A slight cold is likely
to become a serious one and the cough
that follows is the one great cause of the
many deaths from consumption in the
early spring. Never neglect cold OF
cough. Keep reliable remedy on hand
and check the first cough, that may lead
to consumption. As such remedy the
medicine called Kemp's Balsam is strong
ly recommended. For every form of throa
and lung disorder, including the Ia grip
pc cough, Group and consumption II
first stages, it probablp has no requa
anywhere. Get bottle to-day.
