WELCOME 70 STEVENS.
Citizens of Augusta Greet the Bz-
Hawaiian Minister.
HIS ARGUMENT FOR ANNEXATION.

''To Reject This Important and Thor
oughly American Colony would be Cow
ardioe and Inhumanity That No Self
Respecting Nation Would be Guilty OF"
AUGUSTA, Ne, June 3O.-The Augusta
Opera House was crowded last evening by
one of the largest audiences that ever as
sembled in this city. The occasion was the
public reception rendered to Hon. John l..
Stevens, late United S.ntes minister at the
Hawaiian islands. When Mr. Stevens was
introduced he was received with thunders
of applause After thanking his fellow
citizens for their welcome he passed to a
discussion of Hawaiian affairs, saying in
part:
Touching Hawaiian affairs at this time,
deem il especially fitting to stand in the
attitude of an American only l fully
recognize, and am glad to recognize, that
in the seventy years of American relations

His Reasons for Pardoning Anarchists
stand on Their Merits.
CHICAGO, June 30-Altgeld is in town.
In reply to reporter who asked him if he
had anything TO say about his pardon of
the anarchists and the criticism which has
been made of the act since its announce
ment, the governor said: "Nly reasons for
pardoning the anarchists stand, and abuse
of the governor will notknock them down.
In the comments have seen there is only
abuse. There is no argument They do
not mention the fact that the man who
was chief of police at the time says that
he has investigated the case thoroughly
and that ne does not believe that there was
much in it, They do not mention the fact
that the iurymen got up and said that they
could not give the case a fair and inn
partial trial. They do not mention the
fact that the man who threw the bomb
was not brought into court and gave no
evidence whatever at the trial that it was
not proven in the slightest measure that
the man who threw the bomb had any
connection with the men, was at all in
cited TO the act by the conduct of these
men, or that he had ever even heard them
make speeches In a word, they leave my
reasons severely alone. Mere abuse cannot
knoca these reasons down. They are
there and they must stand or fall on their
meritSp

STEELToN, Pa. June 3O,-The poisoning of

considerable excitement in what is known
as the white Row" Phillip Underfin-
ger, wife and two children, with Mrs.
Weaver, a neighbor, ate of some potpie

THE FUTURE OF AFRICA.

Explores Thinh the Dark Continent VIII
In Time EesembIe south America.
There is no country in the world to
which 50 much attention has of late
been directed as to Africa, and, If the
powers of Europe can only smother
their rivalries and jealousies, tho pros
poets are bright for the development
of the Dark Continent.
In the opinion of explorers, it will,
when progress has been made in the
work of civilization, be like South
America There Is strange mingling
of tongues and of tribes in Africa.
There are three great families on the
continent-the Myers in the west, the
Bantas in the east and south, and the
Hamits in the north.
Bat there are hundreds of different
kinds of languages spoken in Africa,
and some of the tribes are as different
from the others as are Chinese from
Europeans. Many of them are indus
trious, while others steal and murder.
but the latter win undo ubtodly be ex-
terminated in the course of time.
There are reasons for believing that
away bssSh III AiHpptJ WA4bS pcopAc
came from the north, and established
an empire around the great African
lakes. There is tribe in that region
called Beejina, which is evidently de-
scended from them.
The men and women are very light
brown They bury their dead in the
same way as the old Egyptians did. in
pyramids: only they do not use stone
but timber Many of the pyramids
have crumbled away, and only the
mummies remain. Each one Of these
pyramids means generation, 1t

SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.
The Terrific Force OF "a CIoud-Burst in
Death Valley.


Although little rain falls in Death
valley, so called from the terrible loss
of lite from heat which occurred there
in 1850, cloud-bursts of the utmost
fury are often experienced. The cloud
is always formed above the mountains,
and after a time its dubious body
strikes peak. Floods of water are re-
leased ON the instant, and in waves OF
incredible size they roll down the
cliffs and canyons.
In an hour the face Of the mountain
may be so changed as to be scarcely
recognizable, and even the lighter
storms rip the heart out of q canyon SO
that only gulches and heaps of broken
rock are found where once, perhaps,
good trail existed.
"Cub" Lee, in Sketches in Death
Valley" tells of sleeping IN camp near
the mouth of Furnace Creek canyon
one night with bug hunter" as the
desert-trampfng scientists are called.
It was so hot that the naturalist could
not sleep.
About midnight he heard roaring
noise up the canyon, which, as it kept
increasing In volume, caused him to
look that way. To his surprise he
saw, as he supposed, the sky between
the canyon walls grow suddenly white.
At that moment Lee rolled over, and
the "bng-hunter" asked him what
allied the sky. Lee gave one glance,
and shouted:
CLOUD buystl Climb!''
They acYambksd nm the steeO walls
as best they could. just in time to save
their lives. Lee thinks the foaming
wall Of water that whitened the sky
and swept everything before it was
not less than one hundred feet high.

Diet of Sugar, Starch and Fat Meat
Produces COrpuIency.
Here are some remarks from Dr.
Yorke Davies on fat, which may be of
interest to the corpulent section of the
community, says the Chicago News.
MY experience is this, that IN cut
ting off fat-forIning ingredients from
the dietary, that is, sugar, starch and
fat, the decrease in weight is just
twice as re Did as if sugar and starch
are cut ont and fat not. For instance,
If person on a properly apportioned
diet, where fat is cut out, is TO lose
twenty pounds Of weight in a month,
should fat be allowed with the same
food the reduction in weight would
only be ten pounds.
''It may simplify matters 10 say that
the use of fat in the system is 10 sup
ply heat. 1t is chemically deoomposed
to this end in the ope rations of life. If
more fat-forming food is taken for this
purpose than Is required, il is stored as
fat, hence obesity. The Esquimau can
consume with impunity twelve pounds
of fat day. and not become corpulent,
the system IL his case burning it like
a furnace TO sustain the heat of the
body, the radiation being 20 rapid. For
this same reason, find in England
that ON a fat reducing dietary
greater amount of weight is lost in
winter than in summeP-all other fac
tors being equal. 1t would be useless
TO burden your space with theories
that appertain 10 the domain of physi-
ology, but it may be of interest to say
that In excessive leanness. to put on
fat 1t is necessary that as much fat it
self be taken as can possibly be assim-
Hated TO get any satisfactory results.
The inference is obvious.
mo doubt your correspondents will
thank you for teaching them how to
become lean, but my experience is that
those who try 10 diet themselves fail
somewhere, as they make their own
rules and break them, and cannot dis
tinguish the difference between diet
that reduces fat and diet that does
not fatten. There is want of method
in their Madness If may so express
