And Observations on Hawaiian
Affairs.
1t Explains in Part Why Minister
Willis Failed to Proceed Under
His Instructions.
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. ia special
dispatch to the Tribune from Ann Arbor
contains interesting quotations from a
letter written to Mrs. George H. Mead,
wife of one of the Ann Arbor university
professors, by member of the family
in Hawaii. Mrs. Mead is a sister OF
Commissioner Castle, recently sent to
Washington with other representatives
of the Hawaiian provisional govern
ment.
This is the quotation from the letter
"Mrs. Willis told me herself how over
whelmed with surprise they were at
finding the community here equal, il
not far ahead, of any city of its size in
America in culture, refinement, etc.

lady who would grace the White House

he was impressed with the character Of

Samuel Warren, the author of 'sTen

posed to be ALWAYS on the most familiar
terms with people of eminence. One
day brother barrister, who knew
this popularity of his, called at his

the lord chancellor that evening.
''That's capital" said his friend; ''for

he said. "Really? am sorry for that
and so will be the chancellor. I'll tell
him how sorry you are" After little
more talk the visitor rose to go. Don't
trouble" said Warren, ''to say any
thing about me to his lordship to-
night" 1T will be no trouble; shall

FREAKS OF AN IOWA TORNADO.
A Rooster Escapes Without Scratch, But
Loses Every Feather.


J. W. Bradley, formerly of this city,
but now of Pomeroy, Ia, says the Co.
lumbus (O.) Dispatch, was on the prai-
ries within about six miles of the fear
full cyclone near Pomeroy several weeks
ago, and tells of some miraculous per-
formances of the wind. He could see
the dark, death-dealing cloud across
the level prairie, and watched it as it
apparently struck the ground, and aft
er travelling the earth for a distance
would ascend, only to swoop down and
wipe up everything in its path. He
went to examine the work of the cy-
clone the next day, and with others
came across house that had been
wrecked. Work of clearing away the
debris was commenced to see if any
person was under the ruins.
The only evidence of life about the
the place was live rooster that ran
out after the boards had been removed,
but the bird had been plucked of his
feathers In fact, not single feather
remained on the rooster. 1t had been
completely stripped of its plumage,
but was otherwise uninjured. At an
other point close by farmer was some
distance from his house when the ter
rible wind struck the building. AS
soon as it was possible to get to the
spot he went to looking after the well
fare of his family. Fortunately they
had got in the cellar, and the build
ing, every board, was raised from the
foundation and swept away. This was
done so quickly that the wife stated
she looked up when the house blew
away and beheld clear sky. The
barn on the same farm was whirled
in the air from the sills as if sawed off,
leaving six horses standing unframed
on the floor. Mr.. Bradley found the
key to the organ of church three

WHERE is THE GENTLE GIRL2

Has She Been Displaced by the Aggres-
| sive Young Business Woman?
One hears and reads much about the
gentleman who will keep his seat in
crowded street car and will not spend
his vacation at the popular summer re-
sorts, but what has become of the gen
tie girl, inquiries the New York World.
| Where are those sweet, shy creatures
who used to wear lawn dresses and
Leghorn hats, who shrank from any
thing approaching the conspicuous,
who ''spolxe low and sweet, who were
| taught that sarcasm was rudeness, and
that lady smiled but never laughed?
What has become of blushing sixteen
and all those dainty, quiet young
women who would rather ''be sweet"
than smart? Has the gentle girl gone
with the "huzzy." the work basket and
the tatting shuttle?
The business girl is too sharp to be
/ agreeable. Her motto seems to be to
suspect everybody all the time. She
has an I-know-what-you re-up-to kind

looks you straight in the eyes without
the glimmer of smile or trace of

boy and charwoman, the services of
the janitor are commanded, not re-

view is too short to be wasted on po-
likeness. The girls who show the least
consideration for the saleswomen are
the best customers; they have money
but no manners. A clerk who has
been in her present position since 1876
avoids waiting on pretty customers as

science. In this house, which gives
employment to about eight hundred
women and girls, the clerks call them

memento of the great disaster. He
states that the track of the cyclone

path. The grass, green before the

by hot, dry sun. There was no wind
or atmospheric disturbance few feet

An opinion is expressed by Of

killed by some private enemy or that
the robbers, after killing him, were in

Dayton, which is an unusual thing.
The latter view is most favored and
would indicate the murder occurred

Druggists Against ResubmlssIOn.

PIERRE, S. D., January 16.-A bomb was
exploded in the resubmssion camp by the
discovery that number of druggists here
are quietly working among the members for
continuance of the present prohibitory
law.
1t had been generally supposed that they
would sympathize with other liquor sellers,
and the latter are highly indignant.
Under the prohibitory law the druggists
are permitted to sell any sort of liquors. wine
or beer by the glass, provided the purchaser
signs an affidavit that he is afflicted with
some complaint. Stomach trouble is the
usual disease to be remedied, and according
to the books of affidavits filled by the many
druggists, this illness prevails to a tremen-
dous extent and requires treatment many
times per day.
So long as these alfidavits are signed, there
is absolutely no restraint upon the sales, and
proprletors of drug stores have multiplied
enormously during three years of prohibi-
ton, and have done thriving trade.
