"The greater part Of the Presidents
[Hawaiianl message" says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, is succinct and forcible
presentation Of facts and conclusions
therefrom adduced to sustain the con-
tention that the monarchy was over
thrown by the power and will Of the
United States, exercised by its diplomatic
representative and troops, and it seems
impossible to deny or evade the con-
clusion that until this array Of cumula-
tive testimony shall be refuted the posi-
ton of the administration is apparently
unassailable." The message clears up
one point regarding which there has
been a great deal Of Misrepresentation
and sensational rumor- mongering, and
that is with regard to the extent of the
Presidents instructions as to undoing
the wrong that had been perpetrated in
the name Of this government. Upon
this point the Ledger treats at some
length, showing that the President at no
time contemplated the use Of force. If
lie could restore the status quo ante
upon amicable and just terms, he felt it
his duty to do so; but he would not go
beyond this. "This is the proper ground
to take" concludes the Ledger, land
Congress, now having the case pre-
scented to it in its entirety, should with
wise, honest deliberation, determine ii
in accordance with the requirements Of
national honor and morality. Evidently
that is the way in which the President
himself sought to determine it..

A JUROR GOES CRAZY.
Sensational Interruption of the
Famous Never Trial.

One of the Jurors Suddenly Loses His
Mind and is Taken Away Howling
Maniac--The Case Adjourned.
NEW York, Dec 1S,--The sensational
collapse and apparent insanity Of Alex
ander Il. Lowe, the seventh Juror in the
trial of DIR. Henry c. II. Meyer, alleged
poisoner of Ludwig Brandt, put sudden
stop to this celebrated case to-day. The
juror, although. he had Just said ~ am
very well, in response to Judge Barrett's
anxious question as to whether he was i'll,
was Frustrated and carried out Of court
with epilepsy and congestion of the brain.
Subsequently, when he had recovered in
an ante-room from his physical collapse,
he raved and showed such signs of acute
dementia that he had to he taken to the
insane ward Of Bellevue Hospital.
Lawyer Brookes summing up address
for the defence had reached its most
dramatic stage-the point where lie pune
tured what he termed the perjury of Kirfel
the accomplish, who was the main witness
for the prosecution-when loves collapse
became evident and excited inquiry on the
part of Mr.. Brooke and the court.
loves insane cries were heard from the
ante-room by everybody in court before his
removal.
Court was adjourned till tomorrow and
the remaining II jurors were cautioned

now so near an end, any more than as if
nothing had happened to delay it. If
Juror Lowe is well enough to proceed with
the trial tomorrow it will go on! If not,
another adjournment must be taken, and
possibly arrangements can be made to 20
on without Lowe.
Early in the trial Judge Barrett ques-
| toned Lowe very closely concerning aliega-
tons which had come in anonymous let
tiers to District-Attorney Nicoll, to the
effect that the juror was insane and con
| fined in an asylum several years ago as a
result Of his losses in the Rockaway Beach
| Hotel. Lowe denied all this; but the dis.
trict-attorney believes it is true though he
cannot imagine why Lowe should have

ever. wont render impossible or invalidate
a verdict, Mr.. Nicoll says.

The weekly Maa Adeler quotes the
following from the Kennett, Pa, Id
rance, apparently for EVERY EVENINGS
benefit:
Farmers who attend Wilmington market
are getting practical object lessons as to
how protected manufacturers benefit the
farmers. When the various Industries of
Wilmington, unaffected by threats of
tariff revision, were running full handed,
produce brought good prices, At this
time. when several thousand workmen
are idle while their former employers are
waiting to find out what is going to happen
next, the farmers find it very difficult to
sell their wares.
Good pricesl What do you call 80
to 40 cents pound for butter and 80 to
So cents dozen for eggs2 Are these
panic prices? And several thousand
idle workmen in Wilmington Why
didn't you say several millions2
Besides, protection" carried out to it:
logical conclusion, had not the founders
of our government blocked that game
would shut the Chester county farmeri
out of Wilmington market, by impos
ing Mckinley duty of 90 per cen
upon their products for the "protec
ton" of the farmers of New Castll

tracts are not considered in any sense Q

There is some reason to trust that the
attempt of Bully McKane tic keep out
of Jail will fall through. Judge Pratt
has refused to hear his application.
Judge Cullen has heard it and reserved
decision. But he has insisted that the
sole question to be considered is the sim
pie one of whether Judge Barnard had
jurisdiction and authority to issue the
mandamus which McKane treated go
contemptuously. And, since Judge
Barnard's right to do this has never been
seriously questioned, the Gravesend
boss will probably find that not only
must iniunctions "go" in his bailiwick
but that he himself must go also and tc

1t is quite the thing now, If you plan
TO take your hat of at the theatre TO
comb your hair in a little wobb on the
very top of your head, but if you can
not make 1t stay so, tie iharound with
ribbon, making clergyman's knot
right in front like neck-tie. You may
add rhine stone buckle if you like.
The effect will be pretty and your wobb
will stay where it ought. If you intend
to wear hat in the play house, the one
pictured is very pretty one, but 1t may
sadden the man behind you, and per-
haps drive him out between the acts,
who knows? And why is it, that when
IL woman has douned an exquisite hat
at the theatre it is always man seated
behind her, instead one of her own sex :
A man cannot appreciate a hat from a
rear view and woman could, SO there
is so much chance of effect always
wasted. But as to the hat of the pic
ture, though it may trouble the man in
line with it and the stage, it will delight
Il woman's heart. 1t is made in two
parts the upper a large tiaring plate
of red velvet, the lower wired frill
OF lace. Both are scwed to very small
circular crown entirely embroidered
with gold spangles. 1t is trimmed simply

If the querist will refresh his memory
he will find an answer to his interroga-

years ago, under Republican admins
tration, that the paralyzing panic Of
1878, the worst and the most pro-
tracted in the history of our country,
settled down upon and spread desola-
ton and destitution over this broad
land. There was nothing in "Jimmy
Buchanan's time" to compare with this
appalling high tariff panic. For few
months preceding the breaking out of
the civil war, in 1861, business was par
alyzed by the withdrawal of the
southern trade from the north

featuring almost everything for the

war and of the manifold accessories and

short.liyed panic. But there was moth.
