SIR: The following instructions,
which are to be considered strictly
confidential, are issued for your guild

The attitude and policy which the
Government of the United States has
heretofore observed toward the people
and Government of the Hawaiian ISL
ands are fully shown in the executive
documents. Nos. A., 4S, 81, 20, 76, 10
and 90, which have been mailed to
you in care of the Navy Office, San
Francisco.
You will freely consult with the
Minister of the United States at HO-
nolulu upon all points which may
arise in the general course of Hawai-
ian matters, and you will give due
weight to his knowledge and opinion
upon the actual employment in any
event of the military forces under
your command, and in deciding the
course to be pursued by yourself in
any matter not covered by specific in
structions.
Your purpose as commander Of the
naval forces Of the United States will
be the protection of the lives and pro-
perty of American citizens.
In case # any civil war in the ISL

such citizens of the United States as
shall not by their participation in
such civil commoii0Ds subject them
selves to local law, and thus forfeit
their right in that regard to the pro-
lection of the American flag. An
American citizen who, during a revo-
luton or iDsurTsctiOu IN a foreign
country, participates in n attempt by
force of arms or violence 70 maintain

quences of such act.
II you shall observe at any time any
effort or attempt on the part of any
foreign power TO interfere in the polit

their little jacal, were loaded into
the cart. The cooking utensils and
articles needed for camping out
during the trip were placed upon
the small express wagon. The
woman, baby and girls got into
the cart, the husband walked
by the side of his patient burro and
the boy merrily tramped behind
drawing his rickety little vehicle
after him. They made a late mid
day start for Austin, camping over
night at the Salado. The next
evening they reached New Braun.

Arriving at the AlaZan, halt
was made. The husband selected a
fairly shady mesquite tree and the
family proceeded to camp as it was
fast growing dark. The burro was
unhitched and turned out to Craze
on the sparse grass near by. The
woman forthwith unloaded the
effects that the boy had been haul
ing in the little express wagon and
then proceeded to prepare the even
ing meal. A little dish of cold fri
joles, or beans, was rewarmed, the
hard, dry tortillas were made fresh
and palatable by holding them
over the Goals, and when
the pot with coffee was actively
boiling, the supper was served.
Each child got large tortilla, on
which spoonful of beans was
laid. Then they got few sips of
coffee and went their way, tortillas
and beans in hand, rejoicing. The
father and mother took some tor
tillas and beans and drank the re-
mainder of the coffee. Then they
sat by the fire, smoked a few corn
shuck cigarettes and made pre-
parations for the nights sleep.
The dogs went to rest in the
cart, the mother, her infant and
two daughters laid on blank
cts underneath the vehicle and
the father rolled himself up in a
blanket near by. All night long
the burro grazed here or. there,
wherever he could find something
to eat, and at the usual hour the
next morning he came to the cart
to get his little armful of hay. But
the animal, this time, was disap-
pointed. The family had decided
to establish themselves here and
there being no intention to travel,
the animal was not given his GUS
tomary meal.

How the Beard Should be Cut.

How the Beard Should be Cut.
Men with long thin faces should
have round boards, if any. But if
mans face is abnormally round
and fat he should wear an imper-
ial, as the narrow, long variety of
the Van Dyck beard is. called
Oddly enough, it is the Americans
who chiefly favor this form,
though their faces, being long and
narrow need it less than anysother
and would often be improved by a
round full beard, trimmed rather
short.
There is one good argument
against the beard which ought to
have some weight. Itinerary al
ways robs the head Of hair. it is
very seldom that a man can main
tain a luXuriant growth of both
after the age of 10. Perhaps this
may be one reason that whenever
long boards have been worn the
hair has boon cut short, and whom
ever the head locks have been per-
mitted to be long theS beard has
almost entire gone. 1t is a
mistake for short men to wear the
beard too long. The head should
be little less than one-seventh
the length of the whole body, and
the capillary addition to its size
throws it quite out of proportion.
On a very tall man, inclined to
1pannpsS and anpularitV. a long
beard is almost equally mistake,
unless he should happen to be so
bOuntifully supplied by nature
that he can have it of width pro-
portionate to its length, and SO
thick as to convey the idea OF al
most superabundant fullness. He
will probably pay for this, how
ever, by being very bald on the
top of his head.

ON THE LOITER.
A MEXICAN GYPSY LIFE.

Some months ago there arrived
on the banks of the AlaZan creek,
near the Cast roville road, a MeXi-
can family consisting of a man, a
woman, a boy, two small girls and
a nursing baby. The woman with
her infant and two girls were load
ed on light cart drawn by a
scrubby burro. Besides its human
freight the cart contained the en-
tire household effects, which were
about sufficient to scantily fur
nish a jacal, such as we see on the
outskirts of town. The head OF the
family walked, sometimes by the
side of the cart, sometimes by the
side of the burrO and now
and then behind the out
fit, where a boy, possibly
thirteen or fourteen years of age,
was uncomplaiingly dragging
along a dilapidated little express
wagon loaded with effects. This
little vehicle had evidently seen a
long campaign, for one of its wheels
was all patched up with wire, and
another wheel, which had probab-
ly been damaged beyond all re.
pair had been supplemented by a
round wooden disc, and branch
from a mesquite tree did service
for a tongue. When the little fel,
low grew tired of hauling the load
the father would come back and
lend him a hand, and so the pro-
cession moved day after day, until
the 40 mile stretch from the Next
can border had been covered.

Then began the erection of a
home. The dirty canvas covering
over the cart was temporarily
turned into tent. The woman,
girls and the boy got together a
mass of brush and rubbish,
and began to erect, with few
limbs of the mesquite tree for a
frame work, a jacal. At first it
was only a kind Of fiat roof for
shelter from above. Then the sides
were erected of brush and so in a
little over a week the family, by
constant building and patching,
became housed in a typical jacal.
All this while the father went to
the city regularly in quest Of work.
A few odd jobs fell to his lot, but
he soon realized that the outlook
was not inviting and so far he had
been able to barely keep alive his
little family. Then the boy was
sent out after work but he
could not earn penny, and Sat
urday morning the woman of the
jacal with her infant in her arms,
set out to beg upon she streets. She
brought to the brush-built home
little money and enough stale
bread to last for several days. Then
she made another trip to town, TAX
ing with her some young hooking
birds that the boy had caught near
the jacal. These she disposed of,
filling the family Golfers with
money to the extent of a couple Of
round dollars. Thus they became
in a. position to purchase corn for
tortillas, as we'll as beans and coffee.
And the family now, after two
months sojourn in their jacal on the
Alazan, decided to move on. They
had heard that work could be OBJ
tanned in the vicinity of Austin,
and the capital city accordingly
was decided upon as their next
place.

no poet himself, was a most admir-
able critic, but severe one. MIR.
Campbell had gone down to the
breakfast-room one morning, leaving
the poet to follow at his leisure. He
had nearly finished breakfast when
his brother entered with copy of
verses in his hand, which he laid on
the table as an excuse for his delay,
at the same time requesting Mr..
Campbell's opinion of their merit.
"1our lines are admirable, Tom, my
boy, said the elder Campbell, afCer

they appear to me to want fire, ~ and

PRIVATE DETECTIVES.
A Vast Amount OF Humbug and Blaok-
mailing Done by Them.

AdHlHE lJono ut 1heHl.
1t is long while since the courts
have dealt with the private detec-
tives, and as q result the men who
ply this particularly nefarious trade
are becoming unusually prominent
again in New York. They are
| advertising extensively, says the
New York Sun, and many OF the old
Offices. which we're shut up when
the crusade against them began IN
earnest few years ago. have been
reopened and the old shingles hung
out again.
The private detectives were driven
out of business by the newspapers
and the strict attitude in the matter
taken by the police. The work of
these men is nearly always sneakish
in character. They make q special
ty ofpreying upon the jealousy orsus-
picions OF married women, and their
business IS a lucrative one, because,
as is generally known to the police,
they almost invariably sell out to
beth parties. A woman who is sus-
plcious OF her husband is caught by
the attractive advertisement of one
OF these agencies and ventures into
the clutches Of the manager of the
concern. She wishes to have her
husband Swallowed, and two men are
detailed to watch his movements.
Shadowing is no longer profitable in
New York. and is seldom resorted to
by the regular police force.
Ii the detective succeeds in find
ing out one or two facts about 3 man
that he would not care to have his
wife know, he makes an arrangement
with him by which all the reports
submitted to her are revised by him.
In other words he writes the reports,
while the detectives take up somo
other case. Their charge is usually
81 day for each man who is sup
posed to be shadowing victim. So
it costs the wife SIS day for re-
port which her husband dictates,
which usually shows him in the light
OF painstaking and unexception-
able husband. The amount which
the husband pays depends upon the
ability of the agency to beat him.
1t has been proved in scores of in
stances that the business is one of
blackmail and fraud, and the police
view with some alarm the great in
crease OF agencies during the past
year.
