HOW TWAIN WENT TO
HA WAII.

The Hawaiian matter has of
course reminded everybody of some
thing, and the newspaper men, like
all others, have their little yarns to
tell.
81 was on the old Record when
Mark Twain was attached to that
Journal" said one of them the other
night. "There was something hap
pening down at the islands which
required looking up, and as Mark
had cultivated that ground suf1ici-
emily to be pretty familiar with it's
various crops of good and evil the
detail was assigned to him.
"When anything of special inn
portance was placed in his hands
he required to be carefully 'herded,'
as they call it on the plantations.
He was so fond of setting them up
or rather experimenting the setting
of them up by some one else, that
he was always missing the coach
or running in late copy, or losing
his notes or something else.
"To prevent any mistake from
arising, they filed him up in an
almost helpless state, and placed
him fairly and squarely aboard on
the night before the steamer was
to sail.
Mark went to his berth and fell
into a sound sleep, but woke few
hours after as thirsty as a whale,
and finding that the boat was still
at the wharf he rose, dressed, in
CURED whether he would be likely
to miss the boat if he went ashore
for an hour, and, receiving a mega
tive reply, started for terra frma
for just one more with the boys.
But, instead of meeting the boys,
he fell in with another crowd, and
having plenty of money, he was for
that night, if possible, more popu-
lar than when in his usual impe-
cunious condition.
"When he awoke it was noon of
the following day, and he found
himself in an uptown hotel. He
supposed he had missed the boat
surely. He, of course, ordered the
same again. and started for the
office. When the editor arrived he
saw Mark at his desk hard at work
grinding out copy.
Hello, Mark Why I thought
we had got you off to Honolulu
sure What are you doing?'
Writing a story
Story, indeed? | don't want a
story. l sent you upon an impor-
tant assignment about that Ha-
waiian matter. What do you
mean by breaking the engagement
anyhow
az concluded not to CO. said
| Mark.
"'Concluded not to go, indeed?
And, sir, what reasons, pray"
ooh it's a real funny story.
You'll just break your chair legs
laughing. You see I'll be Homo
lulued if I did not miss the dog
gasted boat, and Pm writing it up.
It'll be just a breeze of fun
"The editor allowed him to fin
ish his story, and then Mark was
informed that the boat did not GO
till that afternoon, SO hurrying
him off under a double guard the
paper secured both his story and
his services at the islands. S.

With the bountiful ad-
vertising this country is now
getting throughout the world,
the "Poi Cocktail" comes in
for a share. fhe impression
formed by newspaper writer's
in the East leads one to
believe that the cocktail
is suited only for the man who
has had a jag" This
is ERRONEOUS, because it is
an excellent thing for people
whose stomachs become
weak from any cause. Sea-
sickness makes weak digestive
organs and causes a
revulsion to food. In such
cases TARo FLOUR timed
with water is the only
remedy.

ENGLISH TRADE REVIEW.


Money in the Stock Market Lost ON
American Railroads.
LONDON, Dec. 29-The Daily Standard
in review Of the trade and finance Of
Great Britain for the year 1893 says:
Trade has been dull, but there have been
exciting times in finance. Home grown
wheat. barley and oats are Is. to AZ. Cd. a
quarter dearer. Bad financial sequences
have been unusual.
The first event Of the year which struck
any chance Of revival was the collapse of
Reading railway securities, than which
nothing more dramatic has happened in
the United States for many years. The
Standard details the incidents connected
with the collapse and continues: Such
revelations and charges as were brought
out are enough to I'LL British investors with
deep-rooted distrust of all railroad
finance.
Hardly had the hubbub connected with
the Reading affair passed when the bank
failures in Australia paralyzed the markets.
Then fresh perplexities followed over the
silver question in India. The fall in the
price of silver has not been so severe since
the United States ceased its purchases as
had been anticipated. A recovery in the
price is probable after a time owing to the
fact that number of mines have ceased
production.
The business Of the country has not given
extended employment to credit. The
amount Of capital that was asked for dur
ing the year has been unusually small.
Most of the money lost In the stock mar
ket was on United States railroad securi-
ties. After the smash in Reading the men,
bers Of the exchange loaded up thinking
that prices would increase when the Chi
cago fair opened. All these anticipations
went and no benefit resulted and prices are
lower than ever.

An Experimental Pavement.

About the middle of this month a propo-

Asphalt Company of Kentucky to lay a
pavement for experiment and trial on the
streets Of Washington. They claimed to
have extensive beds Of bituminous sand
stone. which had been used as street pave
ment in Nashville and Louisville with
great success, and asked that in order to
Introduce it into this city they be given the
privilege to lay free a section of it on some
heavily travelled street, that its qualities
might be satisfactorily tested. They prom
Used to construct the pavement under direc-
ton Of the city engineer, and IL at the end
Of two years it had not proved entirely
satisfactory, they promised to remove 1t at
their expense and restore the street to its
former condition.
When the case was referred to the cap
tain Of engineers he recommended that the
proposition be accepted but that the asphalt
company be required to deposit s. per
guarantee that IL 1T should prove unsatis-
factory they would remove IL.
The Commissioners have now approved
the recommendation, according to the
agreement, except that they have reduced
the amount to be deposited as guarantee
fund from 81 per square yard to 81 per
square yard for all pavement laid.
Building Permits.
The building inspector today issued a per-
NIT to c. F. Norment to erect a two-story
