Standing the LandIady's Raise.

Scores of poor fellers are waitin here
in Washington city for for offices. 1t is
really painful to meet some of 'em. One
poor freckled devil from Arkansaw told
me today that he had just pawned his
pistol for So, the last thing he had that
was pawnable. He told me about four
of his friends from the south that was
boardin with a widow up on G. street,
all of 'em good poker players, but in bad
luck. They hadn't paid any board for
two weeks, and the old woman, thinkin
to get rid of 'em, got up at the table the
other mornin and said, Gentlemen, the
times is very hard, and the price of mar
keith is goin up, so I'll have to raise the
price Of board to $40 week" Nobody
said word for nearly a minute, and
then one of the shoestring sports spoke
up and said, Madam, we stand the
raise" The old lady is tryin to find out
how much better off she is than she was.

Seeking Fortunes In the Johnstown Ruins.
While workmen were taking sand out
| of the river bed near the stone bridge
they found the skeleton of a food VIC
tim. "A large number Of men are at
work every day and also at night in the
bed Of the river in a search for valu-
ables.
Local officers say that the craze has
reached such pitch that the river bed
is seldom deserted at any hour of the
day or night now, every find Of any
value being magnifed until the fever
has caught every idler in the place and
several who have given up steady EN-
ployment at sure pay to seek their for
tunes among the remains of those who
lost their lives and belongings in the
food.
Some valuable finds have been made,
two of them during the last "a hours.
One man came upon q crock buried in
the sand, with it's cover on, in which he
found IS solid silver spoons, 12 solid sill
yer forks and a heavy silver cup inlaid
with gold. Another found package of
gold eagles mixed with some s. gold
pieces, in all $3.50, wrapped in what was
either a wooden cloth or an old stocking,
which was rotted to a pulp in most
places. Three prospectors, who have
been digging in partnership, have taken
out spoons, forks, silverware, jewelry,
vases and in several instances valuable
unbroken cut glass pieces, and have al
ready sold more than $500 worth of the
stuff to dealers in Pittsburg.
One of the ghastliest mementos which
the finder is preserving as relic is q
plain gold ring, close to the frame of
most of the hand, from which the flesh
has long been gone, the ring being kept
on by the finger being crooked and the
joint not having fallen apart at the an
gle. There arc three fingers on the hand
left, evidently those of lady, as the
ring would probat not have been worn
by child, and the skeleton is too small
for a man.-Johnstown Cor. Pittsburg

TIE PURPOSE FOR WHICH 1T
WAS ORGANIZED.
a Secret Society Under Charter
From the Government-The
List Of Omcers.

The American League which is
now an established fact, with a
charter from the government, has
caused a great deal of talk lately
as to its methods and objects. AL
though it is a secret society there
is nothing in its methods or Oh
jects to be kept from the public.
One of the prominent members
of the league said yesterday:
eve are not at all anxious to
keep any news of interest in
the proceedings of the league
away from our friends, and we
think that the time has come now
when its objects and the names of
its officers should be made public.
re American League of Homo
lulu, as our society lis named, is a
secret organization with a charter
from the government. It is mod
eled on the same plans as the
Union League of America which
has such an enormous membership.
Its objects, briefly stated, are as we
stated in our address to Minister
Willis some days ago: To bear
true allegiance to the United
States and, so far as possible, to adj
vance the interests of our native
country; to aid and protect the
members of the organization, and
to assist in all honorable ways the
members of the organization in OBJ
tanning employment and to adj
vocate the just cause of the mem
bers and others owing allegiance
to the United States of America.
"The league has adopted, for the
better protection Of it's members, a
simple ritual and a password.
eligibility to membership is based
on citizenship of the United States,
and all applicants for such mem
bership are required to pass through
the hands of an investigating COM
mittee, whose duty it is to see to
the qualifications of all candidates,
including his habits and character.
"The league is, of course, strong
ly in favor Of annexation, and are
bending all their energies to accom-
plish that end. We hold regular
every Monday and Friday
evenings, and such special meet
ings between as our business calls
for"
The officers of the American,
league are as follows: President,
L. B. Murray; first vice-president
w. P. O'Brien !; second vice-presi-
dent, A. w. Clarke, and secretary,

How often it has been said by
the croakers that there is no
business, everything is dead,
times are hard, and everything
is going to the bad here in
Honolulu, but the Cali
fornia Feed Co. are not built
that way; we say business is
good and getting better every
month. And to prove what we
say we have had to take larger
and more commodious ware
houses. We have just COM
pleted arrangements with Mr..
J. f. Colburn, whereby he
gives up his old stand, corner
Queen aid Nuuanu streets.
We take possession on Novem-
Der 18th. Our old place at Leleo
is too small for our fast increas-
ing business, hence the change.
We expect the Hawaiian
bark Mauna Ala to arrive
here again in a few days
with her fourth full cargo
of hay and "rain bought
by our Mr.. j. n. Wright who
will arrive on the bark. We
prefer to select our merchan-
disc ourselves rathei han have
others do it, which means
that we get better goods at a
less price.
We thank our many friends
for their liberal patronage for
the past three years, and hope
by strict attention to a bust
ness we thoroughly understand
to merit the patronage of as
many more.
We intend to keep large,
we'll selected stock of the
very best hay and grain to be
had in the California market,
and we are going to sell it.

A Castle Goes Begging.

Nottingham castle, with its 1000 acIes
of land in the Colne valley, was offered
for sale at the mart. The most interest
ing feature of the property is the mag
nificent Norman keep. an almost perfect
specimen. Queen Matilda, wife of King
Stephen. is reported to have died in the
castle, which was the stronghold of the
Earls of Oxford from the conquest, and
in the reign of King John it sustained
two sieges. Unfortunately not all the
historical associations combined could
call forth single bid, and it had to be
withdrawn.-London Telegraph.

Complications In South Florida.

A good story comes from the Manatee
river. a man named Westfield had q
quarrel with his wife. and they decided
to separate, dividing their household
goods between them. Westfield took his
portion of the goods to his boat, but aft
er thinking awhile over the matter de-
cided that his wife had the best of the
bargain, which so enraged him that he
took an ak and went back to the house
and broke up her portion. The woman
swore out warrant for him next day,
and Westfield engaged promising young
attorney of Braidentown to defend him.
After investigating the case the lawyer
decided that his client was in a bad box,
so he advised him to make up with his
wife and try to stop the prosecution.
This the man succeeded in doing, but
the county authorities refused to let the
matter be dropped. So the lawyer then
advised him to l1idnap his wife and baby
and sail to Cinnabel island.
The matter was arranged for the next
night. The woman was escorted to the
boat. where her husband was awaiting
her, by the lawyer and constable whom
he had engaged to assist him. The law
yer and constable then returned to the
house for the baby, but by mistake they
got another woman's baby, and the mis-
take was not discovered until the boat
was well on its way to Cinnabel. The
man was afraid to return for the right
baby, thinking that he would be arrest
ed and prosecuted. This happened sew
eral days ago, and the woman whose
baby was stolen will not reconcile her
self to the exchange and proposes to
have the young lawyer prosecuted for
kidnapping. He is in a terrible state of
mind and swears that he will never
practicelaw again.-Tampa Fla Times.
