ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES.
BEACON Lights to Guide Mariners Coevai
with tho Earliest Commerce.

BEACON Lights to Guide Mariners Coevai
with tho Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earli-
est commerce. There is positive record
that lighthouse were built i'll ancient
times, though fow evidences now re-
main to us tre III cid writers or in crum
bled ruins. II is is not strange for light
towers, never tho most stable architec-
tural form, ere exposed to the storms
of sea and var.
The Greeks attributed the first light
houses to Hercules and ho was consid-
cred the protector of voyagers. 1t is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses i'll the nineteenth book of
the "Iliad -
Virgil mentions u light on q tompl
to Apollo which, visible far ont at eea,
warned and guided mariners The Co
lossus at Rhodes erected about 300 b.
c.. is saio to have shown u signal light
from its upliftod hand.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt They
were temples also, and the lightkeeper
priests taught pilotage, photography
and navigation. The famous tower OH
the isle of Pharos at Alexandria, built
about 285 B. c., is tho first lighthouse
of undoubted record This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, the architect, was.
square in plan, Of great height and built
in offsets. An open brazier at the top
of the tower contained the fuel for the
light At Dover and Boulogne, on Ell
Their side of the English channel, Were
ancient lighthouses builtby the Romans.
But the lighthouse at Corunna, Spain,
built in the reign of Trajal and recon-
structed in 1884, is believed to be tho
Oldest existing lighthouse. e. p.

ROCKING BABY.

Rocking softly to and fro, H
Baby is white as the new white snow,
Baby is sweet as the rose pink dawn.
Fair as the land where the summers have
gone,
. Droop the eyelids slow, so slow,
Baby rocking to and fro,
Rocking softly to and fro.
Baby will sleep and the baby will grow.
Dear little finger tips day by day
Learning of mischief and loving to play,
Eager and restless and frolcsome feet
Tramping the farm lands and treading the
street.
oh, how fast does baby grow
Rocking, rocking, to and fro.
Rocking softly to and fro,
Love would defend you and fill you so
That the days of the years that are all to be
From SHINING and shame should stand
sweet and free.
Oh, If love could make 1t SO
Rocking baby to and fro.

Tire the Conductors.

Conductors of the trains running through
the Pennsylvania coke regions dread the
Hungarian and italian passengers They
seldom ride long distances, and they never
buy their tickets before boarding the train.
The great travelling day with these people
is Sunday, when they go in parties of a

pains to hand the conductor a IS note or
perhaps one of $40 out of which to take

Rosslni was intolerably jealous of all
HIS musical contemporaries, and particu-
larly of Meyerbeer. In 1885 he heard The
Huguenots, and ON listening to the per.
Torrance from the beginning to the end
he made up his mind that Meyerbeer had
excelled him and determined to write no
more He lived until 1868, but produced
nothing for the lyric stage His 80 years
of retirement were spent in the pleasures OF
d voluptuary. He was particularly fond
Of good eating .and drinking and assem-.
bled about him the youngest and gayest
society he could attract to his house. ST

HOW TO MAKE A WOMAN HAPPY.

If you'd make woman happy,
Fill her heart with sunlight rays,
Make her life joy and pleasure
And prolong her earthly days.
Do not think in grand endeavor
You'd arrive at what you aim.
Do not think in riches lavish
Nor the bauble, social fame,
Is the royal road to heaven
Composed by a woman's heart,
For the riches, fame and splendor
In her life is but part.
What will thrill her heart to trembling
And ailay internal strife
Is the little kind attentions,
The amenities of life.

The fall openings are always im- portant events to our feminine pop nlation and are anxiously awaited by our fair women. The GRAPHIC would not keep faith with it's many femiDine readers, whom it always strives to please, if it did not attempt to give them at least q partial ac- count of the openings this week. Sc far this season there have been only two grand openings" that of the Great Red Store and the Kaufman Bazaar, but these have sufficed to bring out almost the entire feminine population during hepast few days, and none have been disappointed.
 THE GREAT RED STORE.
 The opening at the Great Red Store begun yesterday and continues throughout today and tomorrow. This establishment fully sustains its former reputation for high class openings and it's grand opening this season is up to the usual standard. The store and stock has been tastily arranged and an efficient and oblig- ing corps of clerks give courteous at tention to all callers and customers.
 The GRAPHIC reporter was shown through this immense establishment this smorning. Upon entering the east door two large floral arches greet the eye of the caller. On the right side in floral letters are the words, Fall Opening,' and on the left, "Shoes. promenade down the eastern aisle carries the visitor through a vision of 1oveiness. On the right hand are first displayed the new styles in silks, satins, wool novelties and dress patterns in an attractive manner, while on the left are trimmings, l3ces, and hosiery. Farther down the aisle therc is an- other arch on the left with red back ground, upon which are hand somely displayed q large assortment of applaquet work for beds and dressers. while on the right is dis played table linens. napkins, towels, lace curtains, etc. Then on the right follow the fancy fannels, fanneletts and fancy ginghams, ,iwhile on the left is the cloak department for the ac- commodation of all, old or young, big or small.
 Now we come to the millinery de-
  paftment, from description of which we shrink, for no man, unless spec ialist, could describe to a Noman's taste the lalest styles ill hats, bon nets, etc. Suffice to say that this de- partment is under the skillfnl man. agemeat of Miss Jennie Rogers, of. New York, and Miss Nora Bluthen thai, of thiscity, and that therein is displayed much that goes to make up feminine loyeliness. There is a

 THE KAUFMAN BAZAAR.
 The Kaufman Bazaar Company's grand fall opening begun last Tues day and concluded to-day, and for three days that establishment has been crowded with visitors. The display is indeed creditable one. While there is no appearance of elab- crate ornamentation the visitor is charmed and attracted by the neat ness, tidineSs and beauty of the dis play The store is, indeed, through out like little jewel and every visi- tor is charmed by it's many flashes of brilliancy and beauty.
 The front paro of the store is full of handsomely displayed dress patterns, trimmings, laces, ribbons, silks. gauges, cloaks, lace curtains, etc, where the most fastidious can have all their wants amply satisfied.
 The millinery department is espe- ciallv tastily and attractively ar ranged. It is covered by handsome canopy of yellow and white silk dotted with black birds and other figures. On the sides are ribbons and hats of all kinds, colors and sizes. The display of hats is espe- cially fine, one of the oddities of which is hat made entirely of chicken feathers. The new style fall hat is lighter, preUtier and of bright CT colors than have been known for several seasons. There is also a new color this season known as blnette, which is very pretty and popular.
 The millinery department is i'll charge Of Mrs. Peters, whose displays manifest elegant conception and great originality in design.
 The opening at the Bazaar con clules today, and it has been very creditable to the proprictors of that popular establishment.

A POOP REASON.

Those voters who are abGtaining
from registering because they fear
that they will lose the protection OF
their home governments are abb
staining for very poor reason.
There is no good ground for suppos-
ing-that the oath prescribed carries
with it any loss Of citizenship.
There is only one way Of acquiring
Hawaiian citizenship known to Ha-
waiian law, and that is the way OF
naturalization. It is described In
the Civil Code. It requires long
residence and the consent Of the
Minister of the Interior, who must
be satisfied as 70 the moral fitness
of the applicant for citizenship. In
brief, it is not the process required
for registration, but very different
one. The persons who take the
oath prescribed for voters do not
acquire the status Of Hawaiian
citizens. They do not, therefore,
change their political condition do
not renounce their allegiance to
their own Governments, and can
not, therefore, lose their former citi-
zenship.
The State Department at Wash
ington has on more than one occa-
sion expressed an opinion on cases
like this, and its doctrine is as In
dictated above. In the case Of P.
G.. Jones, who took the oath of allie
glance under Kamehameha ", an
inquiry was made of the Secretary
of State In Washington, and the
decision was that his right to pro-
lection as an American citizen re.
NAMED intact. In a case reported
in the second volume of Cranch,
the name of which escapes US al
this moment, an American who
had resided for many years on an
island belonging to Denmark, and
who had taken an oath of ale.
glance, but without expressly re-
nouncing his former allegiance
was decided by the Supreme Court
of the United States to be still an
American citizen. There are other
cases.

THE question has been n1ooted
whether IT would be diplomatic for
Minister Willie 10 forward 10 Wash
Ington political manifesto like
the resolutions adopted By rOyaiists
Monday night. At first blush,
there would seem to be some force
IN this suggestion, but it is ex-
ploded by the fact that Mr. Willis
is not asked TO forward these resolu-
tons in his official capacity, az a.
communication from political
body here to the President OF the
United States. He forwards them
simply for the information OF his
Government, az he has forwarded
newspaper clippings before and
doubtless will do again.
