information. You have the Informal
ton. If these things are true, you
must confess that Mrs. Dominis has
not done away with heather practices.
Can you deny it? (Some called: No,
and others said: You can't prove it.
We don't know it, Then said: How
about the call to the Hawaiian people

Others to join in day of fasting and
prayer for the restoration of Mrs.
Dominis? Who is he? / hear strange
stories about Alapai. | am told his
wife is priestess to an unihipili. Does
he not join with his wife in this hea-

join with this confessed heather in

Dominis? called for a vote on this
question and five hands went up in
favor of the ex-Queen and three went
up against. Most of the audience did
not vote)

ION, no. There were constant in
terruptions, and sometimes a native
would speak two or three minutes.
Then | would take up the thread of
my discourse again. Some of the

did not. One of the speakers re-
ferred to Solomon's idolatry, and
said that the Lord might be merciful
and soften the heart of Liliuokalani,
and turn her from heather practices.
When | got through, l told them that

An English View of Prof. Mar.
tens Selection,

The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the London Times says: "Prof.
Martens, the great Russian author
ity on international law, has been
appointed a member of the special
commission in connection with the
seizure of British sailors in the
Behring sea. This leaves no doubt
that Russia will deal with the
question from an international
point of view and confirms the be-
lief that it is her intention to fol-
low the American lead and claim
the closure of the Behring sea with
exclusive rights to the west of the
imaginary line drawn by the
Americans. There is every indica-
ton that Russia and America are
working hard hand in hand against
England"

The Yost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs, Yost built type
writer, the Remington No. 2 and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the NEW
YOsT, which Uses superior to the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs So or $40 a year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 50 a year. And as
to permanent alignment the YOsT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.
