campaign, since the monarchy
overthrow itself, to degenerate into
personal abuse and SANDER when
facts and legitimate arguments
have failed, which has been pretty
much all the time. The pity of it
Is that the royalists have, on every
occasion, heaped abuse and SANDER
on representatives and naval Off
GERS Of the United States who have,
without exception, been merely
carrying out the orders of their
home government for the protec-
ton of American interest and
American citizens in Hawaii. If
the royalists would only step from
behind their prejudices for a
moment they would see such
course is a political error,
if not a downright blunder.
While, perhaps, annexationists
should be rather pleased than
otherwise at this suicidal policy of
the ex-queen's supporters, it is still
very aggravating to the American
residents of Hawaii to hear this
almost daily and silly abuse of
men they respect and honor, and
whom the United States govern
ment has seen fit to advance 10
positions of trust both at home and
abroad.

VOYAGE of a Death Ship.

The steamship Reno, which
sailed from Genoa for Rio de ia
metro and Santos, Brazil, August
18th, with 1888 emigrants, has ar
rived at Santa Cruz de Teneriffe in
the Canaries, on her return voyage.
Cholera broke out aboard her dur
ing the outward voyage, and the
health officers at the Brazilian
ports refused to let her passengers
be landed. Up to the time of her
arrival at Santa Cruz there were
1913 cases of cholera on the Reno
and sixty-four deaths. She is still
infected. Her officers say the re-
turn voyage has been made under
great difficulties. The steamer was
in great need of coal, water, and
provisions, and the lack of proper
food and drink is believed to have
facilitated the spread of the dis
ease among the emigrants. The
officials at Santa Cruz provisioned
the Reno and got sufficient coal
aboard her for the rest of the voy-
age back to Genoa.-Ex,

The TWO-Minufe TrOtter.

Twenty years ago the two-minute
trotter would have been considered
an impossibility, for in 1874 Gold
smith Maids mile in 2:14 was be-
lieved to be the ultimate possibility
of trotting speed. Nine years ago
Jay-Eye-See trotted in 2:10, and a
year later Maud S. turned the
Cleveland track in 2 :0S4. In 1891
Sunol showed a mile in 2:0S4, and
then came the bicycle sulky, which
has changed the scale of trotting
records and which made possible
the mile in 2 :O4 Of Nancy Hanks.
1t is, however, apparent that
while a few horses have demon
strated that they can trot quarters
in less that thirty seconds and
halves close to but slower than one
minute, no trotter has shown the
sustained speed to finish a mile at
the same gait. When Directum
went to the half in 1 :OO4 he could
not do the last half better than
1 :06t. A like result has attended
the efforts of all the other flyers.
The two minute trotter may
come. But when the phenomenon
appears it must be in the
shape of an animal that can
trot the quarter in twenty-seven
or twenty-eight seconds, that
can go to the half in fifty-eight
seconds, and that can then finish
the mile with quarters in thirty
one seconds. Such trotter has
not yet been seen, but his evolution
does not seem impossible. N. Y.

Have Sized Him Up.

Some of our readers may have
seen an extraordinary statement
issued in Honolulu bitterly attack
ing the Provisional government,
and accusing the early missionaries
of the board, as well as their des-
cendants, of all manner of corrnp-
ton. Probably the extravaganza
of these utterances will prevent
their being credited by sensible
people, but it may be well to say
that the charges proceed from the
Anglican bishop, whose high church
tendencies, as we'll as his high tenn
per, have brought him into conflict
with his own people, so that he is
quite as much at war with the
larger and better portion of his own
church as he is with what he seeks
to stigmatize as the missionary
party" The absurdity of his
charges has been clearly shown by
Mr.. Bishop ia an article in The
Friend, of Missionary
Herald of October.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The announcement that Brazil
has lately appropriated 100000
for the purchase of cruiser of
American build proves that the
quality and service of the new Uni
led States navy is being appreciated
abroad as well as at home. 1t has
been predicted for several years, in
both the United States and Eng
land, by competent authorities that
the building Of the new navy would
result in the competition by Ameri-
can builders for the warship trade
of the world. Heretofore the cruis-
ers of the smaller powers have been
built almost wholly on the other
side of the Atlantic, but as the de-
mand will hereafter be for the
swiftest and most efficient vessels,
n large portion of this trade will
necessarily go to the United States,
as soon as her shipbuilders are in
a position to supply foreign de-
mand. Their reputation is already
made, and it is perhaps within the
strict bounds of truth to assert
there are no better ships and guns
afoat than are now being con-
structed in the new world.

According to the Philadelphia
Record, wherever the trolley sys-
tenn of propulsion for street cars
has been introduced, the results
have been gratifying to all. The
material and sanitary interests Of
the public have been better served,
and the receipts of the passenger
railway companies have been
largely increased" The statement
suggests the desirability of an cleo
trio service for the street cars Of
Honolulu. It's installation would
probably cost considerable, but
thereafter the running expenses
would be greatly reduced and the
convenience of the service largely
increased. The street car service
here has always been under the
average, and lately it has fallen
far below it. There seems to be no
good reason why this should be so,
rs cities of less size in other coun-
tries support on paying basis as
large street railway systems. The
large expense entailed here for a
horse-car service, owing to the
high prices of animals and feed,
is q drawback which an electric
system would overcome. The econ
omy which the company now
claims it has to practice to make
ends meet, suggests that some more
modern means of propulsion should
be introduced. At present the pub
lie is paying the full price in fares
demanded by a first-class service
and receiving in return just what
ever accommodation the manage
ment of the company sees fit to
furnish. For several years the Ho-
nolulu service has been character
lied by dirty inefficiency, which
the public bears, because it cannot
help itself. 1t is to be hoped the
company will see the ultimate adj
vantages which will result from
cleanliness and other minor reforms
which cost little and would be fully
appreciated by long-sufering pa
irons. In event the company con-
tinues to neglect public interests in
this regard, as has been done per-
sistently since the installation of
the system, the authorities could
probably serve the public by insist
ing on the terms of the charter
being rigidly adhered to. This
should be done.

There's as much difference
in the quality of fence wire as
there is between a poor qua
lily of paints and Hendry's
Ready Mixed. American wire,
the kind usually sold here, is
not as good as the English or
German, for that reason we do
not keep it. We import ours
direct from the manufacturers
in Europe and it has given
perfect satisfaction wherever
we have sold it. Now about
paints! When we conclude to
add to our new lines, it IS only
after careful consideration.
IF the article happens to be
new to this district we first
investigate and ascertain the
quality first and then the de-
mand; on the other hand if the
article is something already
in the market and the tastes
and needs of the people de-
mand something better cor
respondence or interviews
with the manufacturers give
US the necessary information
as to whether it may be i'm
proved upon Hendry's Ready
Mixed Paint in the result of
a conference. Like other
storekeepers we have sold
mixed Paints since this bust
ness was started, but they were
for carriages, Hendry's Ready
Mixed Paints are for high class
interior or exterior decoration.
The demand for improve
ments in fences resulted in
our obtaining the agency for
Jones Locked Fence and in it
you will find the strongest
and most economical wire
fence in the world. Six cents
a piece for wire stays is more
economical than redwood
posts at Is cents and yet the
stays admirably fill the place
of the posts. A mile of this
fence a week is about our
average sale.

Last winter D. W. Little, one of the
adobe farmers on the west of town, shot
into band of geese. A white gander
was struck and had one wing broken.
Mr.. Little took the goose home and gave
him to his boys, who doctored his wing,
and he soon became SC tame as to follow
the boys wherever they went, eat from
their hands, and even poke his head into
their pockets for corn or wheat. A few
days ago band of wild geese flying over
the premises and making their usual
clatter attracted the attention of the do
mesticated gander, which gave an out
landish display of quacking and shrill
yells in goose language that had most
startling effect with the band flying past.
A fine white goose was seen to leave
the band and shoot down until it landed
in the yard at the side of the pet, and
the meeting was demonstrative to an ex-
citing degree. Their gabbling, quack-
ing and amusing antics afforded as much
fun for the boys who witnessed the meet
ing as they could have found at circus.
The new arrival refuses to leave, but
will fly over the fence when the two are
approached by the boys, and then fly
back to its mate when the boys step
aside.-Biggs (Cal.) Argus.

1t is to be hoped that the International
copyright, which has just been pro-
claimed as between Italy and the United
States, between President Harrison and
King Humbert, may not throw the plas-
ter cast industry on both sides the At
lantic into economical spasms. But the
current year has developed and that the
coming year promises still further to
develop, an almost alarming fecundity
among the sculptors of Italy in the way
of sketches, molds and casts intended to
"dishgure and present" everything
which did or did not happen, as we'll as
everything which ought and which ought
not to have happened to the discoverer
of the New World.
Hardly three weeks ago, for example,
Sienor Cesare Orsini (who bears name
cherished by italian patriots) opened in
the Via Magic at Rome 'a Columbian
exposition of models in clay and plas-
ter, intended to represent all the possible
and impossible phases of the career of
Columbus. No artist appears to have
dealt with Columbus in his cradle, or
with Columbus at the marriage altar,
but Signor Macaghani contributes an
alarming image of an angel whisking
off to heaven the soul of the dying navi-
gator, and Signor Guilianotti an aston
ished image of Columbus catching his
first glimpse of the New World Nine
at least of these works of art are intend
ed, as our Roman correspondent in
formed us, to decorate the Capitol at
Washington. 1t is to be hoped no time
will be lost by the artistic and aesthetic
members of the senate and the house in
preparing to receive this worshipful emf
grafton with the whole force, if neces-
sary, of marines and artillery at the dis
posal of the federal government.-New

The Latest Hypnotic Yarn.

The latest hynotic yarn from the Char
ite hospital, Paris, casts all its prede-
cessors into the shade. DIR. Luys, it ap-
pears, has been making experiments in
relation to what he calls the ''exteriori-
zation" of the human body, and it is as
serted that he succeeded in transferring
the sensibility Of hypnotized woman
into a tumbler of water. When the
water was touched the woman WINGED,
and when it was swallowed she went
into a deadly swoon. How the drinker
felt with another persons sensibilities
in his vitals is not stated.
DIR. Luys next undertook to transfer
sensibility from the woman to her pho
tograph, and succeeded so admirably
that when he stuck a pin into the picture
the woman screamed. Not only this, but
the mark of scratch appeared upon her
hand in exactly the spot where the pin
had been applied to the photograph. 1t
is lucky for DR.. Luys that he is living in
the Nineteenth century, for many an old
woman has been hanged and burned for
doing this sort of thing. g.-Denver Sun.

Dogs Testifying in Court.

Hold up your right hand and be
sworn said Squire Tyrrell, addressing
Hector, large mastiff, in court in Gin
cinnati. The dog had been summoned
as witness, and in compliance with the
magistrates demand Hector held up his
right forepaw and commenced barking.
The case was one in which DIR. Buck
proved to the court that Hector and
Dane, another large dog, belonged to
him. The two had strayed away, and
August Schmelt, saloon keeper, got
possession Of them and would not give
them back to the owner.
DR.. Buck had taught the animals GER
tain tricks, one of which was to initiate
q witness giving testimony, and he gave
the magistrate list of questions.
"Where's your master?" asked the
court of Rector. The dog went to tho
rear part of the room and picked out
DR.. Buck from large crowd of specta-
tors.
The same question was asked of Dane,
and he went through the same perform
ance.

An Anohorite in Duranoe vile.

Hermits are generally supposed to be

Josephine,s Old Home.

Further efforts are being made to pre-
serve historic Malmaison, once the resi-
dence of the Empress Josephine, from
falling into the hands of some Nine
teenth century vandal. who would prob
ably demolish it in order to raise '.ierry
built" suburban villas on its site. The
old palace is in rather bad condition,
being destitute of furniture, tapestry
and proper ornamentation. The two
facades-one on the courtyard and the
other on the garden-are in tolerably
good condition, as well as the windows,
staircases and ceilings.
The rooms might easily be rearranged
in their old order and style. The vast
porch, the dining room, with its figures
of nylnphs, marble floor and fountain,
the council chamber shaped like mill
tary tent, the library, the salon of the
Empress Josephine, with the bedroom at
tached, are in fair state of preserva-
ton. Malmaison park has already been
cut up for building lots, and several
small houses with gardens now exist on
the property.
The place was purchased in Septem-
Der, 1I9S, by Josephine, for E6, 400-paid
partly out of her marriage portion and
partly out of the military allowance of
her husband, then General Bonaparte.
When First Consul Napoleon spent his
leisure hours at Malmaison, and in the
early days of the First Empire, the place
was for Josephine what the Petit Train
on was for Marie Antoinette-an agree
able change from palatial splendor. AZ
ter the death of Josephine, in May, 1914,
Malmaison had no occupants of note un-
til Napoleon returned there for few
days before his last exile.
Prince Eugene de Beauharnais looked
after the property during his lifetime,
but in 1926 his heirs sold it to Swedish
banker. In 1e41 Queen Maria Christina
of Spain bought it and sold it in 1851 for
e44,000 to the Emperor Napoleon III,
who made a present of it to the state
