movement In favor of popular liberty.
During the time OF anticipated in
yasiOn from Canada he Lad received q
dispatch from Vancouver stating that
the whole community there Were SOL
idly in favor of the Provisional Gov
erumeut. The Government had been
referred to as IS men representing
nothing. The representative charac-
ter of the Government was show by
the approval which its acts had re-
ceived from the beginning until the
end yesterday. In spite OF all diff
culties, a stltutiOn had been pro
duced which would be able to speak
for itself. 1t was q foundation on
which more building must be done.
He hoped the membe of the Cen
vention would bear this in mind, and
also do all IN their power to promote
harmony and cool feeling, 20 that
when the others were Re ady to come
in the right hand of good fellowship
could be extended to them. He
wished to congratulate the Convention
on the completion of its important
and difficult work, and to express his
deep sense of the conf 1ence shown in
him personally. He would endeavor
to earn it by showing in all his acts
his conviction that the President was
only public servant. Loud ap-
p'ause.
A vote of thanks was passed to the
gentlemen who had assisted the exec
utive in preparing the constitution.
At 11:40 the Convention adjourned

is 1T TRUE?
Mary Ailau Said to Have Been
Arrested for Shoplifting.

Mary Ailau, Kanaka woman, is in
q fair way to spend a few months rs a
guest of the Government, says the San
Francisco Call.
Mary has two booths in the Hawaii
an Village at the Midwinter Fair and
has been coming money for the reason
that she did not pay anything for a
considerable gu antity of the goods she
has been selling.
About five O'clock yesterday after
noon Mary paid visit to the store of
j. J. O'Brien s. Co. She went to the
silk counter and expressed her inten-
ton of buying some goods. She look
ed at several pieces of silk, but re-
marked that none suited her.
AS she walked away Harry f.
Meagher, a floor walker, observed her
slip two pieces of silk under her cloak
in manner that took his breath
away. He made for the door and
reached it before Mary. When she
way upstairs to the ladies' retiring
room. Meagher promptly sent one of
the girl Gle ks after her, telling her
what Mary had concealed under her
cloak.
The girl was just in time to see Mary
trying to hide the two pieces of silk,
and when she found she was discover
ed she collapsed.
A telephone message was sent to
police headquarters and detective
Egan went to the store and arrested
the woman. He took her to the City
Prison and booked her on two charges
of petty larceny.
Mary confessed to Egan that on two
previous occasions she had lifted arti-
cles from O'Brien & Co.'s counters.
AS soon as Egan had booked her he
went out to the fair and made a search
of her booths at the Hawaiian Village.
He found large quantity of silk and
fancy goods which she had no doubt
taken from various shop counters. He
found also that dressmaker near the
fairgrounds was making q silk dress
for Mary. and in showing q sample IF
the silk to Meagher he declared it was
the same as piece that had been
stolen.

rour years I'm n narber Sion.

1T is rather a curious fact said a
prominent local railroad man who sports
n luxurious beard, THAT one of the few
occasions OF my going to church in re-
cent years Is responsible for my growing
this beard The minister happened in
the course of his sermon to say that q
man spent third of his time IN sleep
and that one living 70 the age of three
score and ten would pass % years in
slumber. As the sermon was not a par
ticularly interesting one, my mind wan
dered away from it, and 1 began calcu-
lating how much Of ones life would
be spent in barber's shop. Allowing
q reasonable time for waits and for the
actual process of shaving daily, l
soon discovered that in the years left
to me, if I should attain the patriarchal
age Of 20, would spend at least four in

That settled it, and although that was

A BREACH OF ETIQUETTE.
Cleveland and His Cabinet Failed to
Call on Paten0tre.

WASHINGTON, June 81. Presi-
dent Cleveland is said to have been
much Inundated by the discovery
that his Secretary of State and his
private secretary had neglected to
point out to him the propriety
Of making an official call at
the French Embassy to express
his regret at the assassination
of the President Of the French
Republic and at the failure of each
member of his Cabinet to make the
regulation call upon the French
ambassador that is demanded by
the most simple rule of diplomatic
etiquette.
Of course nothing was said on
this subject, however, when EN-
bassador Patenotre called at the
White House today to thank the
President for his message of con-
dolence sent to the French Minister
of Foreign Affairs through the State
Department., as it was a species Of
neglect that could not be discussed
officially.
When foreign diplomats talked
the matter over yesterday, it was the
unanimous agreement that an Off
cial call upon Embassador Pate.
notre at this late day would not re-
lleve the Administration of the
criticism of having committed q
grave breach of etiquette. How
ever, some of the members Of the
Cabinet resolved 10 set themselves
right at any cost, and at least one
# them called upon the Embassa-
dor today aud formally left his
official card.

They Play a Trick on People In the Horrors
of Seasickness.

They Play a Trick People In the Horrors
of Seasickness.
a gentleman living in metropolitan
suburb was strolling down one of its
streets when he came by chance across
a couple-a man and a woman-whom
he Immediately recognized as having
been his fellow passengers in a steamer
crossing the channel His "reminiscences
were not of a particularly agreeable ma
ture, for he lost no time in getting them
arrested The tale which he unfolded to
the police commissary was as follows:
The steamer had hardly left the Eng
Esh port en- route to the shores of France
when he and about so other companions
in misery were seized with all the
symptoms Of NAL de mer. The only trav-
eler who seemed exempt from suffering
was the man who had been arrested.
He paced the deck with the utmost COM
placency, now and then taking from q
bonbon box a lozenge, which he swal-
lowed with apparent satisfaction. The
woman in whose company he was met
In Paris acted ON the steamer as if she
was perfect stranger to him, and she
seemed indeed to be the greatest victim
Of them all So intense was her suffer
ings that the man walked up to her and
offered her one of the lozenges, declar-
ing that they were a sovereign remedy
against seasickness. She took one, and
IN the course of few minutes said that
she was completely cured, and soon her
fellow passengers beheld her discussing
with considerable relish plate of sand
witches, washed down by q bottle of
stout.
One after the other they begged the
possessor Of the marvellous lozenges to
favor them with one. 1T so happens
that / am the inventor, he replied,
land IS / have few boxes with me /
shall be most happy to oblige you with
them ct the rate of 90 francs each. -
The unlucly passengers, whose misery
had III TIE meantime rather increased
than otherwise, enthusiastically vel
coined the offer, and soon all the boxes
were sold, the gentleman from the sub
urbs being the purchaser Of one
But somehow the loZonges had no CT
feet, Not one of the buyers was to be
seen calling for stout and sandwiches,
and the whole party did not get to the
end of their troubles until they We're
onces more safely on terra firma. The
suburban gentleman had the lozenges
analysed, and they were found to be or
binary jujubes. Chance had thrown the
couple IN his way, and he told the po-
lice commissary that he was quite sure
that they had acted this comedy for the
purpose of getting money out of their
fellow passengers. The man and the
woman both declared at first that the
suburban one must have mistaken them
for another couple, but afterward they
made full confession. Oddly enough
they had gone to the suburb to inspect
a house which they had thought of buy
ing with the proceeds of the sale of
many boxes of jujube lozenges in nu-
merous passages across the silver streak
when the stormy winds did blow.-Paris

The appearance of the American
Vaudeville Company was greeted
by a crowded house last evening.
The company included some clever
people, and those present enjoyed
themselves immensely-if vocifer-
Gus applause is any criterion. The
skirt dance, given by Miss Elsie
Adair, was the best part of the pro-
gramme, and was enthusiastically
greeted. This was the second ap-

was so much superior to the first
one presented that the audience
went wild, and insisted on two re-
calls. The company leaves on the

this city today over the Democratic
primary election. Shortly after the
polls were open United States Marshal
Vinson and deputy marsha4s from this

work for legislative candidates who
favored the reelection of Senator

working in the interest of candidates
favoring the election of ex-Gov. Wilson

several fights took place and consider.
able blood was shed. One of the rows
took place in the city hall, and George
Vinsou pulled gun on Beauregard Nc
Cav. and was going to shoot him, when
Congressman Gibson rushed in,
and this so enraged Vinson
that he turned upon Gibson and
would have shot him had the police not
interfered. DR.. Ii. V. Reece. chairman,
then sent the following telegram: AT
