United States Government to decide if
the action of its Minister and the use of its
forces to DESTROY a friendly Government
was justifiable and according to American
principles.
1t was after z o'clock P. NJ. when the
arms and ammunition of the Queens Gov
ernment were turned over to the Provi-
sional Government, or about three hours
after Minister Stevens recognized the rev.
Olntionary Government.
In his letter to the State Department,
dated June II. 1898. Commissioner Blount
says to Secretary Gresham:
"It may be of interest to you to know in
the examination this afternoon that
Colonel Soper, commanding the military
forces of the Provisional Government since
January II last. stated at the meet
ing at the house Of Henry Water
house, on the night of January
16. composed of mbers of the Commit
lee of Safety and some persons called in.
he was offered the command of the mill
tary forces; that he declined to accept
it until the next day; that in this
meeting ir was accepted by all as
true, Stevens agreed if the persons
seeking to dethrone the Queen got
possession of the Government building
ana proclaimed the new Government he
would recognize as a defacto Government;
that he (Soper) never accepted the COM

this fact; that be is a citizen of the United
States and claims allegiance thereto.

allegation that improper relations existed

THE ORACLE HASN'T SPOKEN
View of the Hawaiian Situation of a
Privy Councillor of the Ex-Oueen.

fTiVy (OunCilOr or the EX.Vueen.
BERKELEY. Nov 19.-Hon. Godfrey
Rhodes to-day received a letter which
came up from Honolulu on the Australia
yesterday, in which the writer. speaking
of the political situation. says:
Things here are in statue QUO. The
oracle has not yet spoken. What our DO.
sition politically is to be we do not yet
know"
The writer is sister of Mr.. Rhodes and
mother of Godfrey and Cecil Brown. both
men of affairs on the islands, and the latter
Of whom was one OF the three foremost
men in the overthrowing of the Govern
ment of the Queen and the setting up of
the Provisional Government. Had that
Government Enowp Of any action intended
by Minister Willis DIR. Brown would have
been aware of it.
Mr.. Rhodes, an aged man now with
slvery locks and benign conntenance, was
an inhabitant of the islands when mere
lad. Over fifty years he spent there be-
fore lie emigrated to the United States be-
cause of i'll l-health ard took up his resi-
dence in Berkeley. He was for years
member of the Assent bly, under Kalakaua
and high in the esteem Of the chiefs before
that King. Ofttimes a president of the
Assembly, he was its president at the time
of KalaBaua's crowning. and held the
crown during the ceremony. He possesses
the decorations of the order of the Ha-
waiian Crown and the order of Kalakaua.
In March, 1891. just after the accession of
Liliuokalan to the throne, MIR. Rhodes
vas appointed member of the Queens
Privy Council, an appointment he still
holds. though never expecting to return to
the islands. he is we'll acquainted with
President Dole. Ministers Smith and
Thur ton and the other men prominent in
the Provisional Government.
Being thus we'll acquainted with the ISL
ands and the Inhabitants from long years
of intercourse. Mr.. Rhodes said to CALL
reporter that he thought no objection
would be made by the natives to the de-
portation of the Queen should the Provis-
ional Government decide upon such a
step. There might be some few who
would object, but their objections would
be confined almost wholly 10 words. The
natives are pacific set. and as long as
the taxes are not raised and they are left
to come and 90 freely it matters but little
to them who has the reins of Government.
Mr.. Rhodes thought that sooner or later
the annexation of the islands to the
United States would be accomplished.

Two Spiders.


In an angle of basement wall knew
a contented and plethoric hermit spider.
In the opposite corner dwelt another.
One was black and the other was the
color of ashes. One was very fat and
the other exceedingly lean. But their
webs were as nearly alike as possible,
and they both caught flies that came
through the same window. There was
no social intercourse and used to sit
ON the steps and imagine the rivalry in
business that must exist and the conCe-
quent hatred. l meant in the course of
time to discover what the consequences
would be if they were made to exchange
webs, but pledacious female with a
broom came upon the scene, with re-
suit whose details would not strike the
reader as novel.
But l am convinced that Montague
and Capulet are characters not unknown
in the spider kindred, though they re-
verse the usual and natural order of en-
nifty, and fight only when they are blood
relatives and precisely alike. The gray
and the black might live in distant
amity in the same basement, but two
grays or two blacks-abdomen, size and
general family likeness agreeing-would
not.-Belford's Review.

Eatlng Manners in 1850.

In description of dinner in 1850
there is no mention of the fork, and it is
not certain that there was knife for
each person The guests were placed
in couples as far as possible, on the
ground of their being mutually agree
able, which was the more necessary, as
in certain cases the porringer-a bowl
with ears for the soup-had to serve two
persons
If e person preferred not to use his
spoon, or if one had not been supplied
him, he drank his soup from the por-
ringer held by one of the ears. Those
present at the table put their hands into
the common dish to take such pieces OF
meat as they preferred, though it'was
not expected they would explore the
mass too thoroughly This will pass for
a description of the way meal was
eaten in an aristocratic family in Europe
$50 years before America was discov-
cred by Columbus.
This elegance of appointment and
manners was not found lower down in
the social scale In families of less
wealth hands were not always washed
before eating. napkins were not supplied,
and not only were meats taken with the
fingers from the common dish, but the
soup was placed upon the table in q
large vessel into which every one dipped
his spoon and conveyed the liquid to his
mouth.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE MEASURE OF QUA DAYS.

In all our walks. In all our ways,
Think not the measure OF our days
Is gauged by figures and by rules,
AS erst was taught us in the schools
But, as we help brothers needs
BY noble acts and generous deeds,
By giving comfort where we may,
By lighting up mourner's way;
The sum of means that we employ
To turn fellows Ills to joy
This Is the measure OF our dayn.
A veteran in the wars Of life,
A prisoned soldier in the strife
OF soul with stingy. envious Time
Is he who makes his actions rhyme
To universal brotherhood.
Though long or short hath been his road.
Centuries or decades his abode
Among his kind, 1t matters least
So fellows by him have been blest.
His life is measured by his plan
OF dealing with his fellow man.
This Is the measure of his days.
And much methinks OF time he gsina.
For all his labors, all his pains,
For reaching outward far and near
To succor want and shelter fear.
No etingy paddock hems him in.
To mean desires and groveling sin.
A widows blessing him avails,
An orphans prayer some good entails.
While stretching outward over man
He converse holds with Natures plan.
And solving Hfe's deep mysteries,
He grasps eternal verities.
This is the measure of his days.

A Monster wheel.

The new 3O-foot fywheel to replace
the one which burst on the Amoskeag
corporation at Manchester, N. H., last
fall, has been completed and put in
position for use as soon as the engine
is in readiness. Twenty thousand feet
of brown ash was used in the construc-
ton of the wheel, as well as 18,0003s by
31S-inch screws, lot of iron rods, tons
of iron and quarts of glue. The small
wooden sections are fastened together
by glue and the screws, and to strengthen
the whole there are stout iron rods pass
ing through the sections in addition to
this. The screws are driven by steam
power. To make the whole mass as
compact as possible narrow openings
were left between some of the sections,
and into these were tightly driven well
fitting wedges soaked in boiling hot
glue.
The time of its test is being awaited
with interest by the mill people. It has
been necessary to keep large gang of
men at work upon the racks in the mill
in order to prevent interference in the
mills from ice.-Lowen Citizen.

A Long steep IN siIesin.

Almost peculiar case of prolonged sleep
IS at present occupying the attention Of
medical circles in Germany. A miner
named Johann Latus is an inmate of the
hospital at Myslowitz, in Silesia, where
he was admitted four months and half
ago, and since then all efforts to wake
him have been fruitless. DR.. Albers,
the doctor attending him, is of the opin-
ion that the apparent sleep is really a
state of catalepsy, though medical science
has on record no previous case of such a
prolonged nature. He has arrived at
this conclusion on account of all the
limbs being absolutely rigid. The ap-
pearance of the man, however, betraSs
no signs of this. The body lies quite
still, the breathing is regular, and there
is healthy color in the cheeks. In the
last few days the body has become much
less rigid, and the patient has even made
some slight movement, without, how
ever, the eyes opening or the condition
of apparent sleep being in any way dis.
sturbed. In the four months and half
that the sleep has lasted the hair has in.
creased in length, but the beard has re,
manned stationary Nourishment to the
extent of two or three liters of milk is
administered daily by tube inserted
into the throat.-Vienna Letter.

Venom of the Cobra.

A vivid notion of the intensity Of CO.
bras venom is given by the experience
of DR.. Francis T. Buckland. He put a
rat into cage with snake of that spe-
cies, and it was killed after plucky
fight Upon examining the skin of the
dead rat Immediately afterward he
found two very minute punctures, like
small needle holes. where the fangs of the
cobra had entered The flesh seemed al
ready to have actually mortified in the
neighborhood of the wound. Anxious
to find out if the skin was affected, DR..
Buckland scraped away the hair from
it with his finger nail.
Then he threw the rat away and start
ed holneward. He had not walked 100
yards before. all of sudden. he felt as
if somebody had come behind him and
struck him severe blow on the head
and neck. At the same time he expert
enced a most acute pain and sense of op
preston about the chest He knew in
stantly that he was poisoned. and so
lost no time in seeking an apothecary
shop. where he was dosed with brandy
and ammonia He came very near
dying Undoubtedly small quantity
of venom had made it's way into his sys-
TEN through a little cut beneath his
naii. where it had been separated slight
ly from the flesh in the process of clean
ing the nail with d penknife a little time
before Washington Post.

Mr.. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
BOARD OF TRADE OF SAvANNAH-Trade with for.
eign countries is an important question Of our
time on account of the enormous products of
this country, and the demand which exists in
other parts OF the world for those products.
Direct trade means the establishing of lines
OF communication, and lines OF communication
are as important and as necessary to business
operations as to the movements of an army.
The direct trade which our leading cities now
enjoy is mostly carried on in foreign ships. We
bring from the great Mississippi valley and
from the still greater west and northwest their
varied products; and we seem Co think our task
is performed II we bring those products to the
sea. But whether it is advisable for us to carry
those products beyond the sea seems not to have
been consi Tered by our maritime cities either
north or south; probably because the greater
part OF the business of New York is carried on
in foreign ships, our other Atlantic cities seem
TO have acquiesced in the situation. and TO be
willing that their ocean carrying trade shall be
The wisdom OF that policy Is now
very much questioned. But it can be
readily understood how a nation like
the United States, which has constructed 1885,
wv miles OF railroads, in the last twenty -fve
years, and whose aggregate railway mileage is
now over I75,0O0 miles-enough to reach seven
times around the world-has hitherto neither
had tho time nor the capital necessary to con-
slider the equally great and important question
OF the ocean carrying trade with foreign coun-
tries.
But all our great railways are now con
structed. The Pacific ocean and the Atlantic
are now united by great transcOntinental lines,
giving us railway communications unequalled
IN the wori aud the wonder of the world.
What shall we do next? Is not direct trade
the leading question of our dayf And shall it be
independent direct trade. in our own ships, or
are we still to depend upon Europe for our
ocean carrying facilities.
The traffic of the seas is greater now than
ever before in our history. The products of
this country, which have become an absolute
necessi. y in Europe, are more than ample to
supply the dema d.

GIGANTIC COMPLICATIONS.
Tho Lombard Investment Company's
Troubles Only just Begun.


Troubles Only just Begun.
Now that the Lombard Investment
company has passed into the hands of
receivers, its methods and the way in
which it was excluded from doing busi-
ness in Massachusetts will be interest
ing to the many people who have had
dealings with the former concern. Be-
sides investors in New England many
mortgages also were taken in England
and Holland, and the consul general of
Holland in New York has been in re-
peated communication with MIR. j. Rus
sell Reed, the state commissioner of
foreign mortgage corporations Foreign
meaning merely outside of Massachu-
setts) regarding the interests Of Dutch
mortgage holders in this much adver-
tised company.
All summer there has been an effort
to find trustworthy men among those
interested who would take hold of the
corporation and make the best of its as
sets for the benefit of the holders of the
mortgages. About 49,, 900, 900 in guar
anteed mortgages are now in the hands
of purchasers from the company on
which the company had contingent la
bihty 1t is the belief Of Mr.. Reed that
up to the day the company was put into
the hands of receivers it might have
been continued if the right men could
have been found to go into it.
Mr.. NJ. B.. Whitney of Westfeld, who
has held the presidency Of the company
since the forced retirement of the Lom-
bards, regarded himself as an ad interim
incumbent, put there because he was
acceptable to both sides, and he did not
wish to hold the place permanently.
But as the necessary men were not
forthcoming the receivership was
brought about, and now it is likely that
the business of closing up these compli-
Gated relations, where so many persons
and subordinate companies are con-
cerned, will not be ended for several
years.-Boston Transcript.

years ago cocaine was 85 cents q grain.
There was mono of this widespread habit
then. 1t has all grown upin recent years,
Now the drug can be purchased at retail
at cents grain, and three or four drug
stores in this city sell it to its victims in
quantities to suit. Most of the reputa-
BILE drug stores will not do this, notwith-
standing the fact that the trade is.very
profitable. They don't care to have such
class Of customers about them. But

SIS it very degrading?"
"Dreadfully so. Now, here is hypo-

Tho point of the needle has been broken
and fled down. because the victim
couldn't get money enough to buy new

the last time he used the syringe he took

stuck the syringe into the wound. That's

pullness In the Theatrical Business.

In theatrical affairs at present the ex-
tremes OF ativersity do not meet; but, on
the contrary, they lie whole continent
apart. California and the New England
states are the hoodoo vicinities this year.
In the small towns Of New England the
situation is deplorable. Thirty dollars
were the gross receipts which several
good combinations have earned in towns
of from $4,000 to 25. 900 inhabitants. In
fact, many of the local managers are can
ceiling their dates in sheer despair. After
all, it is the local manager WHO is the
biggest loser in frost of this sort. The
manager of the combination usually gets
as his share S5 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts. Out of the remainder the pro-
prietor of the theater has to pay the ex-
penses for light, fuel, ushers, etc. The
theatrical manager cuts down the sal
aries of his company, but the lessee Of
the theater can't adopt such methods
with his coal and gas bill.
