What Wrong?

Poors pretty little Princess Kaiulani
of Hawaii, heir expectant to Liliuokala~
mis- throne. does not take it at all kindly
that she is to be stripped of her glory
and her expectations and be just rich
young woman in private life, as tho
United States government and the Ha-
waiian commissioners propose she shall
I've. She asks, somewhat pathetically,
Have done anything wrong that this
wrong should be done to me?''
Yes, Kaiulani, you have done wrong,
and we car. tell you what it is Even
You. innocent and sweet as you are, have
been guilty Of a crime. Your crime is
that you believe in the divine right Of
kings and queens. You believe that by
mere virtue Of condescending to be born
you have the right to rule over nation,
and that it's people must maintain you in
royal state and utter idleness, giving you
every luxury. while they toll daily for
bread for you and themselves You
would not give them any equivalent for
all you cost them.
No king or queen or royal family ever
does give such equivalent They do not
govern, for it is only the representatives
OF the people who have sense enough to
govern. Every king; queen, prince or
princess who is thrown out of a job
marks one step more in the progress of
- -
itary right of kings to rule must be ex-
ploded quickly, and the sooner it is done
the better for the race. It is an idea
that has no right to Turk anywhere in
this age Of the world. The really royal
soul builds its own throne by it's own
deeds, and none other has any right to a
! throne

The Hawaiian Death PRAYER.

Upon the minds Of such a people as
the Hawaiians were, while under their
ancient form of religion, it was but nat
ural that superstition should gain a
rooted hold. The most curious and ef-
fective belief to which they were made
subject was that a man can be prayed to
death-a belief that survives among the
natives to the present day. For the sue
cess of the tragical death prayer it was
necessary to obtain some hair Or piece
Of finger nail of the intended victim. A
priest was then employed to use incanta~
ton and prayer for his destruction. Al
ways informed of the doom that the
priest was invoking upon him, the VIC
tim generally pined away and died.
There is story current that an Eng
ishman in the service of Kamehameha
I, having incurred the displeasure Of a
priest, the latter proceeded to remove
him by the death-prayer process. The
Anglo-Saxon, however, set up an opposi-
ton altar in derision, and jokingly pro-
claimed that he intended to pray the
priest to death. Alarmed at the threat
and overwhelmed at the failure Of his
own lamentations, the sorcerer died, prov
ing by his death his faith in his religion

Trained Fish.

Trained Fish.
Fish have many times been taught to
perform tricks, and it would appear as
if they had much more intelligence than
is attributed to them. Mr.. j. A. Bailey
of circus fame once had two brook trout
in a small aquarium in his private resi-:
dence that would jump out Of the water
and take flies held between the forehnge1
and thumb and would also ring little
bell when they required food. They
would also leap over little bars Of wood
face of the water. ~ >-7ss...s....., a.. ~
It is very simple matter to teach the
fish these tricks. At first a little tower
containing tiny, sweet toned silver bell
was fastened to the iron work of the
aquarium with a piece of string attached
to the tongue of the bell extending into
the water where the trout were. On the
loose end of the string an insect or other
tempting morsel was placed, which the
fish would at once seize, and pulling the
cord the bell in the tower would natu-
rally tinkle. After this had been re-
peated several days the fish were left
without food for some little time until
they made the discovery that they could
obtain it by pulling at the string to
which the delicacies had been attached.
This they never failed to do ever after
ward when they were hungry and as
that was nearly all the time the little
bell was constantly tingling as the fish
were continually pulling the cord, and
it was quite a pretty and novel sight

He Was His Own Grandfather.

Of all genealogical curiosities the one
set forth below is probably the oldest
a singular piece of reasoning to prove
that man may be his own grandfather!
Here it is: There was a widow (Anne)
and her daughter Jane) and man
(George) and his son (Henry). This wild
ow married the son, and the daughter
married the father. The widow was
therefore mother Gin law to her hus-
bands father and grandmother to her
own husband. By this husband she had
a son David, to whom she was of course
great-grandmother Now, the son Of a
great-grandnother must be grandfather
or granduncle to the person to whom
his mother was or is reat-grandmo other,
but in this instance Anne was great
grandmother 10 him DAVID, therefore
David could not be other than his ovv--'
grandfather. 81. I.o.-is ssn..,:l,ss:,

A week ago last Sunday while out
hunting in the vicinity of the St.
Francis river, in the town of Blue Hill,
Sherburne county, Frank P. Clark,
the jeweler, and a companion, were at
tracted to the bank of the river by the
furious barking Of Mr.. Clarl1's bull
dog. The hunters discovered that the
dog and large timber wolf were en-
gagged in mortal combat. The wolf
took to the water and the dog followed
and renewed the attack. It was some
minutes before the hunters could get
in their deadly work with their shot
guns on the wolf. But the dog was
finally coaxed ashore and the contents
of the two guns were lodged in the
VOLTS head, it rolled over on it's back
and foated down stream. The boys
dragged the carcass ashore and took
it's scalp. A short distance away a
nest containing eight young wolves a
few days old was discovered. The
whelps were speedily dispatched and
deposited in a sack. The scalp of Mrs.
Wolf together with the eight little
wolves were taken to Elk River, but
the county auditor refused to pay the
bounty on the same.

The Worlds Fair railroad rates
as established by the combine are
an outrage upon the American
people. The idea of a fare and
three-fourths for the round trip is
preposterous when every little
picnic excursion can at all times
get as good as a fare and a third.
It is strange that even the cheek
and presumption Of railroad com

shrewdness so far as to place the
rate at $3.50 from Minneapolis tc

Poor Ross Smith.

The letter left by E. Ross Smith, the
murderous lover at Evanston, contains
lesson and warning. He says that he
prayed for the Tightening Of his grief
when Efde Clark refused to marry him,
but no help came. Then follows this:
1.-The only hope have Of receiving com
fort is to get such control of my emotions
that l can keep thoughts from entering
my mind l--5'@5. IS
In the last sentence poor Smith states
one Of the profoundest truths Of meta
physics. To get control of the emotions
is indeed the only way Of receiving com
fort. Ross tried it. He could not, so he
murdered the girl who would not marry
him and then killed himself. Smiths
state of mind was insanity, as his room
mate says. True love asks the good and
the happiness of the one loved, whether
that happiness consists in marrying the
lover or not. Smith was jealous. He
was in fever Of passion, rage and dis
appointment, but there was not spark
Of true love for the girl in his soul. He
was merely the victim of his own I'M
governed emotions The supreme work
of every one is to train himself to think
or not think Of a thing as he chooses.
The Individual without emotions is as
dead and cold as log of wood. But
the person who has strong emotions and
can control them can make the happi-
ness and well being Of himself and all
around him. It is the secret Of all pow
er, all happiness, to rule our emotions
and passions, to know just when to use
them and when to draw rein on them
We are never entirely comfortable till
| we learn to sit on ourselves.

"Rule II. !"

Rule 10 of the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers has come into contact
with the United States interstate com
merce law and got a black eye. Whether
the decision Of Judge Taft that obedience
to its mandate constitutes q conspiracy
against the United States and is there
fore punishable as such will stand de-
ponds on the final decision Of the United
States courts. The case will be next laid
before the United States circuit court Of
appeals.
Rule 10 Of the Locomotive Engineers
declares in effect that when strike has
been approved on any given road by
the grand chief it shall be aviolation of
obligation to the order for the engineers
of any other road to handle the cars Of
the route where the strike is on. Chief
Arthur approved the strike on the Ann
Arbor road and sent out circulars to the
connecting roads directing their engi-
neers to observe rule 12.
The Ann Arbor company laid the case
before Judge Kicks of the United States
district court, representing the injury
done to it by the boycott Judge Kicks
issued an injunction to Chief Arthur
commanding him to- recall the circular.
He did so, but five engineers and four
firemen refused compliance and obeyed
rule IL rather than an order from the
United States court. They were ar
rested for contempt Of court.
There were two lawsuits One was
the petition praying that the injunction
be made permanent which forbids Chief
Arthur to order compliance with rule
10. Judge Taft decides that the injunc-
ton shall be made permanent because
rule 10 is clearly in conflict with the
Interstate commerce law.
The other case was that against the
engineers and fremen who refused tc
haul the cars of the Ann Arbor road,
even after Chief Arthur had issued the
circular declaring his order was re,
scinded Judge Kicks found by the
evidence that four of the engineers and
firenaen actually resigned their places in
good faith rather than transfer freight
of the Ann Arbor road. This they could
do. because a man has right to quit
his employment at any time. But il
case of the remaining engineer the evi
dence showed that he did not actually
resign his place, but evaded the issue
He therefore was found guilty of con
tempt of court. The result of lawyer
Frank Hurd's appeal from this decision
will be awaited with interest.

The home rule bill, which is the crown
ing glory of Gladstone's life, will give to
Ireland, if it is passed, government ap-
parently about half way between cur
American state government and that of
a British colony. The body for local
self government created by this bill will
not be called a parliament, but legis-
lature, the upper house Of which will be
called legislative council and the lower
one legislative assembly. They will
do most things that our state legislatures
Co. but in the place of a governor will
he the lord lieutenant of Ireland, ap-
pointed by the imperial government.
He, assisted by cabinet called a privy
council, will constitute the executive de-
partment. The lord lieutenant has a
veto power over bills passed by the legis-
lature, and the queen has a veto power
over both the lord lieutenant and the
legislature. though this royal power
would be seldom used. The queen Of
England would not dare use the veto
power as even the governor of state in
our Union frequently does.
The Irish will still be represented in
the British parliament, but the men,
bers Of the house of lords or commons
will have no vote on questions that con-
Germ only Great Britain or any part
thereof or on bills for raising money

the Irish legislative council holds Office
eight years. The term of the legislative
assembly is five years. Ireland must
bear the expenses of her own govern
ment, and her share of the duties, Gus
toms and public revenues will be set
aside as fund for her USE Out of this,
which is called the Irish consolidation
fund, must be paid back the loans and
allctnlents made under the land pur-

is one under which public money may
