The Advertiser to gain another
point says: 1t appears that the
Queen at first refused to grant
amnesty to the rebels as asked
for by President Cleveland to
Minister Willis, and this at first
should not have been a surprise
to anybody, considering the way
they have attempted to hold her
up to the scorn of the world. and
have many times threatened her
life in the event of restoration.
But the Queen. guided by the
wishes of President Cleveland
agreed to abide by his counsel
and in sending forward her agree
ment, mails at the same time
her reasons for refusing at first
the amnesty, which will then
satisfy Congress and the Amer
lean nation, that she was justified
and that no wonder can be ex-
pressed at her having done so.
Furthermore. it viii show to
the American people, what a
pack of cut-throats there are
lurking behind the pious lambs
of old Stevens

Mr.. j. B. Anterior, while
abroad, in attempting to excuse
Minister Damon for giving such
damaging evidence to Minister
Blount against ex-Minister Stew
ems says: 1T is true that Min
lister Damon gave his signature
to statement inculpating Min
lister Stevens. Many things are
always said and done In times of
great excitement etc. We will
now ask Mr.. Atherton to explain
to the public what excitement
Mr.. Damon could have been
under when, seated with Minister
Blount in a private room calmly
giving his evidence to Minister
Blount, and answering straight
forward questions in a truthful
and straight forward manner?
Knowing fully we'll that Mr..
Atherton has not the manhood to
speak the plain honest truth of
this matter, we will do it for him.
The fact is, Mr.. Atherton-Min-
lister Damon being in the pre-
sence of a gentleman and man
of honor, told the truth the whole
truth and nothing but the truth,
which he could never have done,
had he been-some one else? We
are perfectly satisfied that Mr..
Damon has been led into this
filibustering business thought
lessly. and would now be only
too glad to wipe his hands of
the whole affair and dissolve
partnership with men whose acts,
vericity and past record will not
stand close scrutiny at Washing
ton. Mr.. Atherton being a
Sunday school teacher and
pillar Of the church should re-
member the fate of old Ananias.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Hard Head Hit Hard.

George Washington is the
strong American name which is
answered to by one of the
stranger police officers in the
employ of the Government, and
who is supposed to earn month
ly WACO by performing certain
uaknown services as a night
watch, and in looking out for
the Suppression of crime and i'm
morality in the outer districts
He has had in the past as
sharer of his joys, and soother
of his sorrows the companion
ship of a woman formerly stew
ardess on the bark S. n.
Castle and who sports the
euphonious name OF Mrs.
Vina King. Bad blood has ex-
listed between the pair for some
time back, on account of Wash
ington's abuse and drunkenness
and the woman's desire to change
partners. The ill-feeling culmi-
mated on the early morning OF
New Years day when, after
neglectiug his post of duty,
Washington returned to his
room, in a house kept by an
unknown person on Kukui lane,
and there found his mistress in
company with another colore d
brother named Powell. Powell
sid and Washington thrashed
his partner, drove her from home
and retired. The woman it APP
pears believed herself illy-treated
harbored up revenge for the
thrashing received until, having
decided on action she obtained a
pickxae and entering the room
where her George was quietly
sleeping she gave him a hard hit
on the head just above the
left temple and with such
force as to knock the hard
b cad ed negro senseless,
blood squirting from the wound
and covering the blade and
handle of the weapon and the
dress of the woman. A revulsion
of feeling seems to have set in and
she asked for surgical assistance
the telephone soon bringing DR.
Wood and some police officers
to the place. The woman wa:
arrested and the injured man was
taken to the Hospital where be
now lies in a precarious condi
ton.

In reference to Mr.. Thurston's
letter in the Advertiser request
ing assistance from the p. G..
to further his interes is in his
dime instrumentation is made
that he (Mr. Thurston) or at least
the company he represents-calls
for a shark to place on exhibition.
If the company would have a
regular out, and out rife up
voracious Hawaiian shark-there
is none in these waters, that
could fill the bill equal to that
eating shark L. A. Thurs
ton himself. The old shark has
shown himself up to much adj
vantage during the last year, and
undoubtedly be great curiosity
and draw immensely. If the
company had been a wide awake
one-they would also have called
for the would older shark
'Sereno" and few others-which
would have drawn the whole
population west of the Rockies.

Those Tobacco Abstainers.

Much complaint has been made of late
concerning the outrageous conduct of
male, and especially Of female, abstainers
from tobacco, who force their way into
railway smoking carriages, and, in spite of
the protests of the other occupants, persist
emily abstain from smoking during the
longest railway journey. 1t may be asked
why the smoker does not quietly continue
to smoke, regardless of the presence of the
abstainer. OF course this is practicable,
but what decent and humane man can
take any pleasure in smoking when there
is seated opposite to him middle aged
woman, who is perhaps the mother of
young and helpless children, but who
;;amelessly and sniffingly proclaims her
vicious hatred of tobacco in every look and
movement?
The presence of the abstainer must nee
essarily cast gloom over any railway
compartment, and the smoker, filled with
disgust and pity, loses all interest in his
pipe. What is the most painful feature of
the whole matter is that the abstaincrs
have actually formed societies for the forci-
BILE suppression of smoking, and, not con-
tent with their own degradation, are striv
ing to degrade all other men and women
to their level. The remedy is, however,
plain. If the abstainGrs have right to
crush smokers by law, smokers have a
similar right to crush abstainers.-W. L.
Alden in Idler.

A Dissecting Room Triumph.

Every ono knows that the nerves in the
human body are almost without number,
threading every part of the system. The
difficulty of dissecting to preserve these
nerves can thus be imagined. In glass
case in the museum of Hahnemann college
is shown the entire human cerebro- spinal
nervous system, every nerve arranged in
its proper order and all intact. This re.
markable piece of dissection is the work OF
DR.. K. b. Weaver, one of the college pro-
fessors. 1t took him six months, working
eight hours day, to accomplish the work.
He received in recognition an official rib
bon from the Worlds fair, where the work
was exhibited. Every nerve emanating
from the brain and spine has been pre-
served, and the subject looks like fishnet
in the case. Some Of the nerves arc quite
thick and others as fragile, seemingly, as
a spider web.-Philadelphia Record.

1EMpERlNG DAMASCUS BLADES. 7
An Old Record Says That Each Operation
Cost a Human Life.

An Old Record Says That Each Operation
Cost a Human Life.
Professor Won Eulenspiegel and party
in delving among the ruins OF ancleh1
Tyre unearthed what seems to have been
the workshop of an ancient armorer, or
waffenschmidt, "withaquantity ofsword
blades in different stages of manufacture,
though badly corroded. A copper cylln-
der, with a close fitting tap, was found
among pile of dry rotted wood, evident
ly the remains of an arm chest, the brass
nails and copper bands of which had re-
tanned their original form. This cylinder
contained a parchment inscribed in an
Gent Syriac characters and in fair state
of preservation. The professor pronounced
it an extraordinary discovery-one calcu-
lated to cast much light upon the hereto
fore mysteries of the ancient craft OF
weapon making, giving in detail tho
methods followed in making tho perfect
Damascus blades.
The manner of tcmpering these blades
when intended for ruler or an officer OF
high rank was as follows: "Let the high
digDitary furnish an Ethiop of fair fame,
and let him be bound down, shoulders
upward, upon the block of the god Bal
hal, his arms fastened underneath with
thongs; strap of goatEkin over his back
and wound twice around the block; his
feet close together lashed to dowel of
wood, and his head and neck projecting
over and beyond the end of the block.
Then let the master workman, having cold
hammered the blade to a smooth and thin
edge, thrust it into the fire of cedar wood
Goals, in and out, the while reciting the
prayer to the god Bal-hal until the steel
be of the color of the red of the rising
sun, when he comes up over the desert to-
ward the east, and then with a quick mo-
ton pass the same from the heel thereof
to the point six times through the most
fleshy portion of the slaves back and
thighs, when it shall have become the
color of the purple of the king. Then, if
with one swing and one stroke of the
right arm of the master workman it sever
the head of the slave from his body and
display not nick nor crack along the edge,
and the blade may be bent round about
the body of a man and break not it shall
be accepted as a perfect weapon, sacred to
the service of the god Bal-hai, and the
owner thereof may thrust it into scab'
bard of ass skin, brazen with brass and
hung to girdle of camels' wool dyed in
tho royal purple. Berlin Tageblatt.

A ROYAL FLUSH.

Every year the emperor Of Italy receives
a present of 10, 600 picked Virginia cigars
from the emperor of Austria.
The emperor of Germany is proficient
drummer and can give lessons to the best
army drummers in beating the tattoo.
As criterion OF personal popularity the
Princess of Wales may well rest upon the
knowledge that 200, 900 of her portraits
were sold in England last year.
The empress of Austria is great lin
guist. Her latest study is Greek, which
she now speaks and writes iluently. al
though six years ago she was ignorant
even of the alphabet of that language.
The empress of Japan is not only very
plain woman, but very intellectual, with
great strength and beauty of character.
Her particular hobby is the peeresses
school which she has established in Tokyo.
