TWO METEORlC CAREERS.


Secretary of state Allen of Nebraska in
Town-Another Nermonter's success.
Hon. John c. Allen of Lincoln, Nebraska,
arrived in this city ON the early train FRI
day morning en- route to Hiuesburgh to
visit bis parents Mr.. and Mrs. j. II.
Alec.
MIR. Allen is serving his second term as
secretary of State of Nebraska. He left
Vermont about l. years since at the age OF
% years, securing position as salesman
for wholesale grocery firm in Lincoln
through his friend and old schoolmate, Lee
Grand M. Baldwin, Hinesburgh boy,
whose acceptance of Horace Greeloy's ad-
vice to "Go West young man, -
had carried him to this Western
city few years previous.
Mr. Allen was first nominated as a repre-
sentative of the drummers and they stood
by him loyalty, elccting him by a tremend
Gus ajority. Even last year when the
populists were so strong all through the
West he received 5000 pluraity-ths
largest vote cast for any OF the State Off
GERS. 1t is hardly necessary to add that
Mr.. Allen is and has always been repub-
ican.
In the meantime Mr.. Aliens friend, Mr..
Bald win, has devoted his energies to the
real estate business and has amsssed large
property, mostly valuable real estate. An
estimate places his fortune now at 5000, 900
and il Lincoln continues to thrive he will un >
doubleday be a millionaire within the next
10 years.

FIRE AT MIDNIGHT,

Smart Blazs In McAuslan'a Store Ex-
tingulshsd by Police on GERS.
At l2:l0 Tuesday morning Officer Murphy
discovered fire in the back eud of McAus-
lan's store. He sent for Officers Grafton
and McCarty at once, and the three broke
through the back door, procure hose and
extngushed the fire without calling out the
department.
The building was filled with smoke up
stairs and down and would have been in
flames in few moments had the fire not
been discovered in the nick OF time.
1t was good judgment on the part of
Officer Murphy in not calling out the de
partment as the fire would have gained by
the delay and the loss in extingushing it
would have been much greater.

OF this and neighbcrng States have been
gathering at their pleasant resort at Queen

IN which DR.. Gould of Randolph, DR.. +.

Mrs. Abbie Crossett of Waterbury. For
want of space, we can only mention the
points touched in the discourse. She be.
Heyed spiritual communion to be as broad
as the universe The class of. spirtualists
which she was describing are the thinking
and progressive men Of the day, who are
developing new religious thought The re-
ligious spirit of all ages has been revealed
to the world through human agency; all
knowledge Of immortality is brought by
spirit an this gives us an assurance OF life
b.yond the grave. Spiritual communion
teaches that there is no dividing line in the
realm OF spirit life and is but the natural
manifestation Of Gods and mans love.

BIounf'S Report.

1t begins to be clear why the
Administration refused to publish
Blount's report until it was stolen
from the State Department. Mr..
Gresham dared not expose it to
analysis and contradiction. The
so-called investigation of Blount
was purely er parte, arranged to
prove a predetermined conclusion.
He examined only persons who
would testify what he wished, and
was reckless of their character and
credibility. Had the evidence of
the report been submitted to the
persons it undertakes to condemn,
they would have torn it to pieces,
as Minister Stevens and Minister
Thurston are tearing it to pieces
now. Mr.. Blount's witnesses do
not bear REORGANIZATION. On
all points relating to the establish
ment of the Provisional Govern
ment, they have been contradicted
by persons more credible than them
selves, though the report has not yet
been examined in Hawaii. 1t is
clear that the revolution was
genuine and self supporting
that appeal was made to
the United States, after it
was well under way, to pro-
tect the property of citizens, and
again, after it was well established,
to annex the Islands. To refuse
the first request would have been
barbarous. To refuse the second
is proper, though its wisdom is de-
batable but to couple with refusal
forcible overthrow of the only gov
eminent of the Islands and re-es-
tablishment of a government re-
jected for oppression and corrup-
ton, would be an act unworthy of
the Gear of Russia.-Portland Tel
egram.

in an instruction to the American
Minister at Honolulu, wrote:
1t (this Government) firmly be-
lieves that the position of the Ha-
waiian Islands, as the key to the
dominion Of the American Pacific,
demands their benevolent neutral
ity, to which end it will earnestly
cooperate with the native Govern
ment. And if, through any cause,
the maintenance Of such position
of benevolent neutrality should be
found by Hawaii to be impractic-
able, this Government would then
unhesitatingly meet the altered
situation by seeking an avowedly
American solution for the grave is-
sues presented ."-Washington Star.
