Decorations.

In the Senate, May 9, on motion of
Mr.. Gray (Dem.) bill authorizing
Rear Admiral Walker and Surgeon
j. Rufus Tryon of the navy to accept
decoration of the third class from
the president of Venezuela for their
humane service to the wounded and
dying men in the recent Venezuelan
war was passed, as was also bill to
authorize the captain and crew of
the life saving station at Hog Island,
Va. to accept medal of honor from
Spain for their heroic conduct in
saving life from wrecked Spanish
vessel.
Mr.. Berry (Ark.) allowed these
bills to go through, but under pro-
test. He insisted that nothing
should be permitted to interfere with
the tariff bill. The whole country,
he said, including those who opposed
as well as those who approved it,
were anxious for action upon the
tariff. The present interminable
delay was making the people lose all
confidence and respect for the SEN
ate.-Washington Star.

efforts to extenuate his behavior,
have tried to make it appear that
the hospital was a purely private
affair. This injudicious contention
Mr.. Schaefer has very wisely
brushed aside, and it is to be hoped
that no more will be heard of it.
If the hospital is really private
establishment, it is high time that
the special tax should be refunded
which has been collected by the
Government for its support.

THE account of the trip of the
Iwalani published in the ADvER-
TIsER Saturday morning has not
been invalidated by any subse-
quent disclosures, except as to the
name of the island which was sup
posed to be the objective point of
the expedition. The island aimed
at appears to be Necker island.
The one formerly mentioned, john
sons island, is already the property
of the Hawaiian Government and
under its Jurisdiction, possession
having been taken of it many years
ago. The statements in regard to
the destination of the Champion
we're of course purely conjectural.
It is now declared positively that
her trip has no connection with
hat of the Iwalani, and that her
destination is the coast of Kauai.

There's roast beef, fowl and
ham aud knives for cutting
each separate article. For
beef, we have the celebrated
French Cook Knives that stand
without an equal for kitchen
work. Then there's the long
"Jointed," built expressly for
carving fowls. In the hands
of anyone, the obstacle in the
way of finding the second
joint is removed, the jointer
gets there while you are think
ing about it. And when you
get to ham-good sweet ham,
you want a long thin knife
that will carve so you can see
the steel through the slice.
We have the knives for this
class Of work and they're good
ones. The French Cook
Knives are not remarkable for
beauty, but they are "away
up" for use.
For bread or cake, get a
Clauss Knife: it is ALWAYS in
condition, because your cook
cannot use it for cutting meat
or splitting kindlings, it's
made for bread or cake, and
will cut without making
crumbs. No other knife will
do as we'll as the Clauss for the
purpose.
AS soon as the Iwalani
matter is definitely settled,
we expect to receive an ord
er from the government for
enough to fence the
encircle with the Jones Locked |
Fence. Economy is the order |
of the day and when the gov
eminent can get a better arti-
Gle for eight cents than it
usually pays II cents for it
will get it.

IF THE American Union party,
acting through the regular chan
nels, makes a suitable nomination
to fill the vacancy in the Advis-
DRY Council, there can be
no doubt that the nomination
will be confirmed at once. The
nominations now before the public
are all of a creditable character.
The Advisory Council has now, in
all probability, but a short lease of
life, SO that the nomination, in this
instance, is practically to the Con-
stitutional Convention.

LET HIM MEND his MANNERS OR GO.

The attention of our readers is
invited to a courteous communica-
ton from F. A. Schaefer in regard
to the complaints lodged by the
ADVERTISER against Mr.. Eckardt,
the Superintendent of the Hospital.
It is gratifying to find that
the Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees are on the alert
In this matter, for their investiga-
lions can hardly fail to result in a
much-needed reform. The fact
that they seem to have reached an
incorrect conclusion thus far is
probably due to the want of suffi-
cient information.
: It is very possible that Mr.. Eek
ardt may have at some time pre-
ferred to some one request to be
"rung up" on the Bell telephone
only, though the fact is entirely
unknown to the editorial manage
nent of this paper. Whether he
has ever done so or not, however, is
no excuse for his late conduct.
His refusal to answer either tele-
phone or to give any information to
a messenger despatched to the hos
pital with a polite note, was in
science pure and simple, and adj
mits no justification. It is to be
presumed that these facts were not
fully brought to the notice of the
investigating committee.
We are pleased to observe that
Mr.. Schaefer in his letter this
recognizes fully the ma
ture of the hospital as a public |
foundation, and afirms the right of
The press to information. Some of |
The friends of Mr.. Eckardt, in eheir |

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. EDITOR In reference to
your article in this mornings daily
P. G. ADVERTISER complaining of
Mr.. Eckardt, the superintendent
(not steward) of the Queens Hos
pital, / am instructed by the Ex-
ecutive Committee to say that the
Committee has looked carefully
into this matter and finds that
you have on previous occasions
been requested in urgent cases
during the night to use the Bell
telephone, which is placed in the
dispensary of the hospital, while
the Mutual telephone is placed in
Mr.. Eckardt's room, and that if
you had complied with this request
your inquiry would have been
answered by the night nurse with
out any undue disturbance of the
night rest of the superintendent.
You will readily see that the
superintendent. being on duty from
5 A. NJ. to 9 P. NJ. each day, should
not be disturbed unless there is a
reason for it, and while the Bell
telephone was at your disposal, the
annoyance complained of would
have been avoided by using the
Bell telephone.
The Queens Hospital is a public
institution and therefore always
open to inquiries about its inmates
at reasonable hours, and its en-
ployees are always ready to respond
to any call from wherever it may
come, but, being an institution for
the benefit of the sick and next of
those in need of rest and
sleep within its walls, the
least possible disturbance and ex-
element during the night is a re-
cognized necessity.
Reviewing all the circumstances
of this case, and after careful in
vestigation of the complaint made
by you against Mr.. Eckardt in this
instance, the Executive Committee
deems it its duty to exonerate the
from blame, even
if he may have been somewhat
curt and perhaps discourteous, for
which sufficient allowance must be
made, judging human nature as
we find it and considering that a
man reused out of his sleep at mid
night, without good cause, is not |
generally in an amiable frame of
mind. 81
May I ask you, Mr.. Editor, to
publish this letter in an early issue
Of your paper, to prove that the
Board of Trustees of the Queens
Hospital is not Indifferent to the
character and standing of. the hos
pital and of it's employees, the
opinion of a prominent physician
% the contrary Notwithstanding. J
am, dear sir,
Yours very respectfully,
f. A. SCHAEFER,
Secretary.

THE purpose of the Government
to complete its acquisitions of terri
tory to the northwest is very
laudable one, and it should have
been carried out before. When a
Pacific cable is laid from Australia
and New Zealand to the American
coast, as it will be before many
years, no one can say what advan-
tage may result to this country if
it possesses the only possible land
ing points in this part of the ocean.
In the meanwhile it costs very
little to police and administer the
domestic affairs of these islands.

A Handsome Present.

The numerous friends of General
Booth, the head of the Salvation
Army, are getting ready to cele-
brate the fiftieth anniversary of his
conversion, which occurs this year.
He will be presented with a jubilee
thanksgiving present of $4,000.
Next month there will be an Inter-
national Salvation Army Congress
in London in recognition of the
event. And the general proposes
to finish the celebration by person
ally conducting a jubilee salvation
campaign in America, adding a
thousand officers to the Army and
starting various new enterprises
connected with the Army. Il x-
