THE WORST is OVER.

Business Is Picking Up and Better Times
Are Coming, Says the New York Times.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Under the head
of business Revivals in Sight," the
Times Friday presented summary Of
the trades which, it claims, shows
that there has been visible improve.
ment in the business situation since the
opening of the new year. 1t says:
Better times are at hand, and in
many branches of trade their coming
has already been noted. There has
been, of course, no great and general
revival of business activity. 1t would
be foolish and futile to pretend that
the trade and industries of the country
have fully recovered from the depres-
sion that began last July.
''rhe steady accumulation of idle
money in the New York banks would
disprove any sweeping assertions of
that nature. But the evidence is am
pie that the worst has passed, that we
have turned the corner and are now on
the mend The rapidity of the recov-
cry will be measurably increased by
the fact that there are no large stocks
of goods on hand. The jobbers'
shelves and manufacturers floors are
bare. The large number of mills that
have lately started up indicate that or
ders have begun to come in, and, to fill
orders, the mills make the goods"

church. at the corner of Adams and
Tenth streets. The crowded condition
of tho schools made it necessary to place

Her Majesty of Afghanistan to Adopt
European Dress.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-Civilization will
rejoice in the fact that the queen of
Afghanistan has decided to adopt Eu-
ropean dress. A fashionable firm in
London has forwarded to her majesty
four costumes, which / hasten to de-
scribe. The material in each case is
wool, and her majesty's fondness for
flowers has been respected in the trim
ming. One fuchsia dress has velvet
basque with gold fringe and tabled
skirt A convolvuli costome is made
up of a velvet zouave bodice and skirt
trimmed with guipure lace. A strik-
ing characteristic of a native costume
is an umbrella skirt, whilst green silk
and ivy leaves add to attractions of the
fourth costume. All the dresses are
high.necked, short skirted and silk
lined, and in appearance are sort Of
compromise between English simplic-
ity and Oriental splendor.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 2l.-The steamer
Monowai arrived from Sydney, Aucls-
land, and Samoa via Honolulu late Fri.
day afternoon. She brings full Hawai-
Ian advices to the Associated Press
nearly week later than previous ad-
vices
HoNoLCLU, Jan. 12.-Since the sail
ing Of the last steamer political affairs
have been very dull in Honolulu. The
government has been pursuing watt
ing policy on the ground that no def
mite action can be taken here until
some definite policy regarding Hawaii
has been announced by the United
States
A new constitution is all ready to be
promulgated At the proper time. For
some time past and prior to Mr.. Thurs
toms visit the government has been
working out form of constitution
for an independent Hawaiian re.
public, which is now subtantially
settled upon. Its form is like the con.
stitutions of the states Of the union,
with president and vice-president and
upper and lower houses of legislature.
For voters for members eff the lower
house, the chief qualification is the
ability to read and write the English
language, which will exclude most OF
the Japanese. In this house the native
and half-white vote will greatly pre-
dominate. For the upper house will
be required in voters a considerable ed
uca tional and a property qualification,
sufficient to secure the predominance
of intelligent white citizens, who will
also control the choice of the executive.
Certain special powers will be con-
ferred upon the executive and the up
per house acting in concert,
which will enable them, when well
agreed, te prevent obstruction of nee.
essary legislation by the lower house.
Under this constitution the native ele-
ment will possess all the share in legis-
lation it has ever possessed, while the
royal and executive power will prac-
tically by transferred to the control OF
the more intelligent and capable white
population.
The government will not proclaim
this constitution until after learning
from Minister Thurston that there is
no present prospect of any form Of
political union with the United States.
There is no doubt whatever that such
constitution will be heartily approx.
ed by the rank and file of the sup
porters of the provisional govern
ment, who will gladly forego some
voting privileges in order to secure the
result for which they have for yea,
faced SO much danger together. TIC
make the right of suffrage unlimited
would be simply to throw away all
they have worked for. No constitu
tion in Hawaii has ever been submitted
to vote of the people, but simply pro
claimed by the executive authority,
which precedent is likely to he fol
| lowed in the next similar case.

LIMA, o., Jan. 20.-I. G. Engell, Of

not long until Fngell produced his mon
ey, amounting to 81. SO, and placed iton

to count it one of the men grabbed it
and ran out the front door and down
an alley. The police were notified and
one of the men, who was identified by
Engell as the one who took the money,
was arrested. However, no money was
found on his person, and it is likely he
