Causes an Old nan's Arrest.
GARDNER. Mass, Nov. 25--An s7-year.
old man Is under arrest here, but the
crime with which he Is charged is due
more to old age and weakness than to any
wrong intent.
The mans name Is J. NJ Brown, and hS
Is a resident of Springfield, although he
formerly lived in Fitchhurg While living
in the latter place he bought . carriage oi
the South Gsrducr Carriage company,
giving a two months note in payment for
the vehicle This was a year ago last
April. He had made part payment and
get an extension of time on the rest. and,
as the carriage people did not hear from
him again, they supposed they were losers
to the amount of the balance.
Not long ago they heard Of man In
Worcester who was after Brown for
secreting leased goods. he having bought
a carrisge with the understanding that IL
was not 10 be removed from the premises
without the consent of the seller unless
paid for When Brown had removed from
Fitchburg TO Springfield he had informed
the Worcester parties. but had not noti-
fed the carriage people here. He was re-
leased on the charge brought by the Wor-
cester people, and is now charged with the
same offence here.
He first pleaded guilty. and then, when
il was explained to him that he evidently
did not mean TO defraud, he changed his
plea. His memory fails on number OF
points, and it is evident that his age is tell
ing on him.
His only relative is a con, who is away
from Springfield at this time on business,
and the old man has no other friends.
Knowing this fact, local attorney has Of
fered his services at his trial tomorrow.
The carriage company hiss found the
carriage all right and safely housed in
Worcester, and as 1t has lost nothing
there is feeling that the old man will not

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The World today
publishes letlerfrom Honolulu. brought
by the steamer Australia. which arrived
In San Francisco on the 18th inst. 1t was
written by Beverly Thomas, who has been
a resident OF Hawaii for number ofyears,
90 friend living in New York Mr..
Thomas has lived in Honolulu over nine
years, and Is conversant with the Hawaiian
political situation He says:
"You ask me 70 give you a clear state
ment Of the situation in these islands and
20 state my unbiased opinion in regard TO
what will be th. outcome Of the struggle
TO establish q republic here. This is a
hard thing to do ~ the present time, for
we ars all at sea as 90 what position the
United States government is going to as
sume towards us.
Minister Willis has just arrived and
presented his credentials TO President
Dole. A sorts of rumors are afioat. One
is that Willis Is going TO assist Liliou-
kalani TO regain her throne. What lends
color 20 this rumor was the landing Of a
number OF marines from the man-of-war
Phil adelphia, and a number Of boats from
that warship filled with men, all Of whom
were heavily armed, were kept on the
water all one night At daybreak these
boats were taken back on board the Phila-
delphia. !,
mo one can tell what the meaning of
this moveNent is. 1t was said that the
queens fIcnds intended To make an at
tempt to get control Of the government, and
that the marines were to assist them. Ii
was discovered that the secret Of their plan
had been made known; that the conspir-
ators were under surveillance, and it was
decided at the last moment TO give up the
attempt.
Let me tell you that il any attempt is
made to replace the queen on the throne
there will be bloodshed We have now a
citizens guard numbering nearly 500 men,
and this guard will fight to the last to up
hold the new government. We are now
enjoying freedom and comparative safety,
and il the United Sta.es will only annex
us, and, IL IL won't do that, keep its hands
off, then we will bscome prosperous. Be-
fore the provisional government was
formed we were like lot of slaves, afraid
to open cur mouths.
Minister Stevens understood the situa-
ton here. He Is an honest man. and his
report is n truthful one. IL Harrison had
remained president n few months longer
we would have been annexed long ago.
The feeling here against President Cleve-
land is very bitter, and Willis is looked
upon with suspicion.
II think permanent republic will be
established In n few weeks, and the queen
will then be forced t. leave the island. /

and refers to Claus Spreckels' power in

WAIT FOR THE MESSAGE.
President Will First Tell the Hawaiian
Story in That Document.

STORY In Ihat DOcuuents
WASHINGTON, Nov. e5. Washington has
settled down in the belief that the first
authentic news as to Minister Willis in
structions in the Hawaiian complication
will bs laid before the country in Presi-
dent Clevslanc's message to congress,
when IL reassembles a week from Mon
day in regular session. It is regarded as
highly probable that the message will be
sent in on Mondsy, instead OF being de.
layed till the second day OF the meeting,
as on former occasions.
This year there is nothing to prevent
both houses Immediately on their assem-
bling from appointing a joint committee
to wait upon the president And appar-
emily there is no reason why the president
should not authoriz. the joint committee
to reply that he will Immediately commu-
nicate to them n message in writing.
Permanent Private Secretary Pruden In
his long years of service has never carried
from the white house a message so eagerly
looked for as this will be. Interest in the
presidents financial message of August
last was confined to the one topic Of silver,
and was 90 great extent discounted by
previous intimations, more or less ac-
curate, as to its probable contents.
The celebrated tariff message Of Mr..
Cleveland in 1887 was surprise, and
there was little preliminary anticipation
Of its contents. This year the message is
expected TO cover not only the recommen-
dations as to the tariff and further finan-
cial eeislation, but also dramatic disclos-
ures as to questions of foreign policy.
Mr.. Cleveland's message on this point
will have an interest greater than upon
questions of domestic administration and
finance, though on these topics his recon-
mendations will possess unusual impor.

Special Message on tho Subject.

WAsnINGToN, Nov. 25.-If President
Cleveland Ia disturbed over the Hawaiian
situation he did not show it yesterday. At
the close of long cabinet meeting Secre-
tary Lamont remained with him tor some
time. Then Secretary Gresham called
and remained short time.
After his departure the president aud
Mrs. Cleveland came down stairs and en-
tered a carriage to enjoy n drive in the
crisp air. The prcsid.nt looked healthy
and robust. His smile TO those about the
White House doors indicated that there
was nothing that had been reported from
the Pacific or any other place that dis
turbed him in the least.
There has been general belief that the
president would discuss the Hawaiian
question in his message, and more interest
than ever has been mantle tsted in the doc
ument on this occasion. No news can be
expected from Hawaii until after the mes
sage il sent TO congress, and it was
thought in discussing the matter the
president necessarily would refer to the
instructions that hal been given Minister
Willis and inform congress of what he
expected had taken place in the islands in
view OF the instructions.
But IL was stated at the White House
that this matter can easily be avoided by
an allusion to tho Hawaiian affair in the
regular message, with the statement that
it will be treated in special message on
the subject. to be submitted when further
and expected Information has been re-
ceived. This being the case, those who
are awaiting direct statement OF the
policy OF the administration further than
which has been officially announced in the
letter OF Secretary Gresham TO the presi-
dent will be disappointed.

Possibilities Of the Game.

For the past two seasons, and partly
since the introduction Of the wedge. the
plays OF individual men, so interesting to
the spectators, have become less, and in
place OF them have come the mass-playing
that prevents the ball from being seen by
the spectators, and productive OF more in
jury to the players. II is an almost fore
gone conclusion among the adherents of
both teams that Yale has At least two new
methods Of wedge-playing that.they expect
TO spring ON Harvard. but the hackers Of
the latter dispnrage such attempts.
Harvard has prHcticed successfully her
flying and opening wedge at kickoff. and
expects to flud easier work in opening the
center for Brewer Co go through, as Lewis
is doing magnificent work at center aud is
expected to be the giant of the game.
Then. too, Brewer is apt TO please the pop
ulace by getting chance TO run. He is
by far the most brilliant man behind the
line. On the contrary, Yale is sure that
she can use her own particular center
wedge on a down and that even Harvard's
strong rush line cannot stop it altogether.
One thing is certain: so evenly are the
teams matched that it will only be by sur
prises that any great advantage will be
gained. II either eleven makes gain on a
new play and repeats it. they will by such
n surprise dishearten their opponents.
There have been no changes of note in
either OF the teams except that of substi-
tuting Adee for quarter on Yale instead of
Morris, who is said not to be in condition.
AS TO Yales condition, Coacher Wur-
tenburgh, who himself played quarter on
Yale for three years, said: "The Yale
team has the best defense line she has ever
put on the gridiron, and her offensive line
is fully the equal of former years. My own
opinion OF the game is that il Yale can
prevent Harvard scoring for the first 10
minutes the crimson will never score at
ALL"
Harvard men laugh at this statement,
however, and say chat their eleven will
show as much endurance as that of Yale.

PuNIsnINa DRUNKENNESS.

European scientists whose labors are di-
rected toward the betterment of present con-
ditions are now discussing question that is
Of as much importance to the people of this
eountryas any Of the complex social problems
which public benefactors are endeayoring to
solve. Shall drunkenness be punished as
crime? is their query and the reply seems to
be largely affirmative, brought out principally
by the new Italian penal code, in which pro-
vision is made for the erection of special asy-
iums for alcoholic criminals. This change
met with strenuous opposition from many of
the most experienced legal practitioners, but
II was deemed best by medical experts that
hquor-made criminals should be kept apart, f.,
so that their peculiarities might be the more
closely studied. In the United States we
have made no such advancement, but IL rea-
son continues to rule this Nation for few
years longer some such action will be neces-
sary. CANON de Nence, eminent as a magis-
trate, and one of the most active among social
reformers of the practical variety, says that
he has long since reached the positive con-
clusions that drunkenness should be declared
by the law punishable as well as the crimes
committed under its influence, when it was
In the power OF the delinquent to have
avoided getting drunk that drunkenness
should be visited by more severe penalty
when the alcoholic excitement was purposely
brought about in order to strengthen the de
termination to commit the crime that Il
should be punishable with extenuation by
the magistrate when it occurs in persons OF
weak intelligence, whose power of enduring
alcoholic drinks is diminished by the in
! teriority of their cerebral organization. The
| judge holds that drunkenness is inexcusable
in persons who know they cannot drink with
out danger, and that there is no admissible
excuse for drunkenness unless alcoholism

affection would, of course, be treated in an

DRAINING H1nbsrDEs.

Drain tiles can be used with profit
in much hill land. Wet weather
springs are q nuisance and often cause
considerable loss in q crop when the
water is allowed to seep through the
soil below them. have found the ex-
pense of draining such land light, as
the tiles need not be laid over two feet
deep and need not be large By con-
Meeting several springs with one drain
the spring water can be cared for with
one pipe, and the surface waters from
rains will run off the land as usual.
1t is not always an easy matter to
find the vein of water, but it is OF
course always at the upper edge of the
wet spot, and when it is found stone
catch basin should be made to enable
the water to enter readily. If the
water passes below the end of the tile
without finding it, ii may seep through
the sticky clay for rod or more before
entering, and the valve of the drain is
partially lost. 1t is quite possible that
thorough tiling of much hill land is ad-
visatle in cider to let the air into it,
but as all cannot afford to do this the
suggestion is that these fertile wet
spots be relieved of the spring water
anyway, thus enabling one to cult
vate earlier and to grow a good crop
on the spots that usually are either
bare or produce only stunted growth.

nircrslons Of nn Nmnress.

From '"The Empress Of Austria, by
One of the Ladies' Of Her Court, in
Harper's Magazine, we quote as fol-
lows:
During the entire summer which fol-
lowed her sons marriage the Empress
seemed unable TO shake off her melan-
choly forebodings, and il was only
when she went TO Godollo that the free
and invigorating country life in meas
ure restored her peace Of mind. Every
morning she attended mass rs early MS
five o'clock, and after drinking cup
of black coffee without milk or sugar,
she mounted her horse, and accom-
panied by one of her ladies-in-waiting,
galloped off through the magnificent
park, which is traversed in every di-
rection by broad, sandy avenues.
Changing horses several times in the
course of the morning, she would re-
main in the saddle until noon, when,
after taking cold bath, she would sit
down with her lady TO simple lunch
con, consisting of very rare steak,
dry toast and glass of Montrose claret.
Towards four o'clock her majesty again
went out riding, returning only Just in
time TO dress for dinner. II is useless
to say that ten or twelve weeks of such
life were sufficient TO exhaust the
forces of the strongest lady-in- waiting,
who, moreover, was obliged to be per-
petually on the qui vive, impervioust TO
fatigue, and always in the best of
humors. The Empress used TO retire
at nine or ten o'clock, and then we
were accustomed TO assemble in the
private apartments of Countess Goess,
the Grand Mistress of the Robes, and
to remain there until two or three
o'clock in the morning, laughing,
chatting, smoking cigarettes and even
sometimes dancing with the aides-de-
camp and gentlemen-at-arms en- duty
at the castle The Empress's affection
for her ladies-in-waiting very much
depended on their skill in horseman-
ship. To those who rode well she was
exceptionally kind and indulgent, but
had no sympathy whatever with those
who were not perfect horsewomen.
