FOX HOUNDS AND FOX TRAPS.
A Few Notes of Interest to Fox Hunters

A Few Notes of Interest to Fox Hunters. Two fox hounds owned by MT. Sel-
 den Miner, but in keeping of MT. Hor- ace White of Winchester, started out a week ago Sunday on their own hook
 on a fox hunt. One dog got back sun- day evening, the other dog did not
 come back. On Friday last, nearly six days after the dogs disappearance, the animal was found caught by its leg in Boyd's swamp in a steel trap which had been set for foxes by some
 one unknown. The dog was nearly
 starved to death, his leg was badly cut
 and lacerated, and the animal was un- able to walk after 1t was released, and
 had to be carried by MT. White to his
 home. A fox hunter who is too lazy to look after his traps ought to be prosecuted when such affairs occur as this, for cruelty to animals,-for even in the case of a wild animal for which [" SAop h1o HCcA SOI3 C. sADP-o"AOh 4Auo no business to torture the animal by slow starvation and slow death in a steel trap, for week at a time.
 MT. Hurd of Colebrook river, adver- tises his fox hound as lost, tn, another column. Perhaps, like Miners hound,
 it is fast somewhere in the woodss in a steel trap '.T
 Fox hunters always make 1t g point
 when they find a steel trap h. the woods set. to snap 1t. They do that
 to protect their hounds. The way that
 traps are set for foxes Is to put a steel
 jawed trap in a swamp or under wa- ter. Then place patch of moss over the center of the trap and hang a piece of meat overhead. The fox comes along, sees or smells thb meat, puts
 his foot on the moss in the center of
 the trap, and elevates his Jaws to take
 in the meat. The pressure of the foot
 on the pan of the trap springs it. and the fox is fast in the jaws of the steel
 toothed trap. Sometimes . fox will tear his foot or leg off in his attempts to escape. It happens, however, that about as many good fox hounds are caught in these traps as foxes. And 1t often happens, also, that valuable
 hounds are eitAsr Utterly ruined or else starve toudeath in the woods. In the case of MT. MinersS dog, t was found by a man who was ifi the woods and heard the animals cries. He went

A Big Bag of Game.

Constable Samuel c. Ireland of South Norwalk, was in this city with wings on, to-day-f1fty pairs of wings, for that matter, all attached to plump quail and cartridges which he shot during few days hunting trip through Litchfeld county. Mr. Ireland left South Norwalk early in the week, accompanied by Alden Solmans and George Lounsbury. They met with great luck in the woods, and Louns- bury and Solmans returned home this morning loaded down with game, while Irelaa d came to, Danbury to find a place where he could make up his mind whether to go home or go back to Litchfield to get another, shot at a bald-headed eagle that screamed defiance at him.-Danbury News.

 CT Pah,berg's Story.

The Gold in the Fishers Island Pond-Div. l rPahiberg's Story.
 New London. Nov. 27.-Captain Scotts expert diver. Alfred Pahiberg Saturday evening gave a Day man some additional information about the s2bo.Qo0 that Is supposed to lie on the bottom Of the large pond at the east end of Fishers Island. Tt is the most mysterious affair l was ever connected with." said the div CT. T cannot not tell you much about 1t any more than my trip to the is- land. as the men were not at all com municative on the subject"
 The diver then told of his connec- ton with the men. Two well dressed young men, about thirty years of age. called upon Captain Scott and said they wanted one of his divers to search for something lost in lake on Fishers Island.
 A diver had been engaged in New York and failed to accompany the men to this city. Captain Scott said he could accommodate them and they tel egraphed the diver in New York mot to come.
 Diver Pahlberg said he had heard the names of the parties. but could on- ly recollect that one claimed to have come from Pennsylvania. At s o'clock in the afternoon the men and diver with the paraphernalia went on board the steamer Munnatawket.
 Arriving at the island the diver and his assistants took up their abode for the night in boarding house. and their strange companions quartered at a private residence.
 The men seemed flush with money and had little more to say to the divers on the trip over than that they wished to locate some money buried in the lake.
 were astir. The air pump, diving suit and hose were carted to the eastern section of the island, five minutes walk from the seashore. One of the seekers took a paper from his pocket, and, af- ter studying 1t for while procured boat and began to take ranges, in which he was assisted by his com panion.
 After an hour had been consumed in this operation the diver was told where to go down. He did as directed and spent several minutes searching about in the twelve feet of mud. He failed to locate the much desired wealth. Another scrutinization of the mysterious paper was made and anoth- CT hour consumed in finding ranges. Then the diver was again informed that he could search the bottom once more, but this time in locality quite a distance from the former one.
 Once more Diver Pahlberg rumn1ag- ed through the thick mud and again failed to bring the hidden treasure to light. This last attempt seemed to temporarily satisfy the strangers and the party returned to New London on the afternoon boat.
 It is now reported that the search will be resumed and caison will be built and sunk in the lake for the pur- pose of having a clear space in which to carry on the work.

The light and joy of a pleasant De- troit home is a five-year-old boy of bright face and happy temperament. A day or so ago gentleman visiting the family engaged the little tot in conversation, and one of the numerous questions he was called upon to answer was: Are you married?" "Yes," re- piled the gentleman; and he added play fully, Are you?" "No," came the quick response, "but I've been vaccinated." "- Detroit Free Press.

A USEFUL ROOT.

The a" canaigre" is plant which
grows in the deserts of Mexico,
Arizona and New Mexico, and pro-
duces more tannin material than
any other plant. Recent examina-
tons made in Germany show that
it has great value, and may sup
plant gambler. 1t will, undoubtedly
grow on much land in these ISL
ands, where there is not, and can
not be, irrigation.
The root is now being collected
on a large scale in Arizona, where
it grows wild, and prepared for
market. An extract is made of the
tannin material.

THE ARMY IN WASHINGTON.

The occupation of Washington
by General Coxey's industrial
army, presents another of the curl
Gus phases of Democratic evolu-
ton in the United States.
The prominent feature of it is
the terrorism it has created in
Congress. The members of that
body are unwilling to take any
action which may ALLEVIATE the
''labor" vote, and it is apparent to
them that this vote sympathizes
with the industrial army.
The times are desperately hard,
and every working man will take
up with any new scheme or "fad,"
which will relieve him, even if he
is not clear that it will do him any
good. He tries it, as he tries
new patent medicine. Others who
are not working men, like to see
Congress stirred up to ''do some
thing"
But there it is, the spectacle of
the representatives of nation of
65,OOO,0O0 of people, standing in
awe of several thousand men, who
are shouting at them and demand
ing all sorts of absurd laws.
There is no danger, however.
The Anglo Saxon race is at its |
best, in dealing with such matters.
The moment the general commun-
ity detects any real danger, it rises
at once, and puts an end to any
When Congress was trifling over
the Tilden election case, and the
business Of the country suffered for
fear of some disturbance, the peo-
pie came to the front and told
Congress that its conduct was in
tolerable. The matter was soon
settled.

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE FRAN
CHISE.

No problem which will confront
the Constitution-makers of Hawaii
presents more difficulties than the
problem of the franchise. 1t is a
question upon which there are as
many opinions as there are human
beings to entertain them. To fix the
voting power in such way as to
avoid the complications arising
from the completely of our popu-
lation, and at the same time to do
ample justice to all, is far from an
easy task.
Without presuming to offer a
complete scheme on the subject,
we will content ourselves with a
few general suggestions. In the
first place, no educational or pro-
perty qualification should be
adopted which would exclude the
great mass of the native Hawaiians
from the suffrage. The Hawaiians
are the earliest occupants OF the
soil, and their rights and interests
should be fully guarded. For the

A CRITICAL SITUATION.
The japanese Government Threatens
to Retaliate.

r. w. Irwin, Hawaiian Minister
to Japan, arrived in Honolulu yes
terday on the Gaelic. He was not
expected, and is credited with
being the bearer of important des-
patches to this Government. A
Cabinet Council was called yester-
day to consider the situation. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs and the
President were reticient when ques-
toned. It appears, however, that
japan abides by her former de-
mand for full equality for her SUBJ
jects with other aliens, in political
as we'll as other matters. In case
the demands are not granted, it is
understood that Japan will retail
ate, but in what way is not known,
except that the further immigra-
ton of Japanese to Hawaii will
cease. Cabinet officers were in
clined to attach little Importance
to the suggestion that the Imperial
Government would withdraw, or
endeavor to withdraw, the Japanese
laborers now here.
Minister Irwin has taken Up his
residence at WAIKIKI, and will pro-
baby remain here for sometime.

There's a rather interesting
bit OF loveliness IN the shape
of a lamp down In our store
that we would like you to see.
It's been here sometime, be-
cause the price was too high
for the average lamp user;
we've cut it down a half so
that 1t may 60 to the home of
some one who likes really good
things for the parlor. Some
persons prefer bright metal
for lamps, because they are
more snowy; we don't, neither
do most people abroad. Oak
makes up into lovely furniture,
but where is there a piece of
it for Farlor decoration that
compares with ebony. So it is
with lamps-high class lamps,
the wrought iron style, as
black by comparison as the
Ace of Spades, is richer and
adds more to the furnishing of
a room than a half dozen
polished ones. We can give
you either style, but the
Wrought Iron is the best, this
one is better than the best,
because it has a fount made of
lockwood Pottery decorated
in subdued tints.
Other lamps, good, bad and
Indifferent, in so far as styles
go, are as thick with us as flies
around a sugar barrel. We
don t ask you to believe all we
say about lamps, we don't
believe it ourselves; come
along and see for yourself.
Until the tariff business is
settled in the United States,
there will be a feeling of un-
rest among sugar producers in
Hawaii owing to the doubt
about the duty on foreign
sugars. To relieve this restless
feeling and in a measure to
compensate the planter for the
loss he may have sustained
through the Mckinley bill, we
have decided to advise every
owner of land on the islands
to adopt the Jones Locked
Fence as a measure of eco
nomy. From fifty to twenty
five dollars per mile may be
saved by it's use and it will be |
staunch for years when an
ordinary fence will fall from
It's own weight.

two houses Is made-the franchise
should be substantially liberal, as
In the Constitution of 1887. Every
Hawaiian who can read and write
his own language should have a
vote.
The necessity Of an intelligence
and property qualification for a
part of the representatives is some
thing which the whole course of
Hawaiian history has demonstrate
ed, and there is no occasion for a
re-argument. Government by the
ignorant is the disease and not the
principle Of democracy, and the
persons who think that the only
just way to apportion political
power Is upon count of noses, do
not understand the nature of insti-
buttons. The political ideal is,
the rule of intelligence and
virtue, to be secured in the manner
which will give the individual the
widest scope for activity and self
development. An intelligence
qualification and a property quail
fication which practically works as
an intelligence qualification, are
perfectly in harmony with the in
situations of democratic and free
society and such limitations to
the vote should be adopted in Ha-
wall for electors to the upper house
not for the lower, because it is
neither just nor expedient to create
a large disfranchised class.
There is nothing, however, more
difficult in connection with the
franchise than the question of the
status of aliens. Political theory
denies them any share in the gov
eminent. Facts, however, are |
stubborn things, and in this case
they have been too strong for |
theory. The peculiar conditions
here have made it necessary to
permit those residents to vote who
have q permanent stake in the
country, who not only share the
burden of taxation, but also do the
duties of the citizen, and who in
all save a single formal particular,
are fully identified with Hawaii.
These men are unwilling, whether
rom sentimental or practical con-
alterations, to ALLEVIATE their citi-
.enship. This country cannot spare
hem, and stretches the bounds
# ordinary international law in
rider to secure their full service
nd support. We believe that it
will be found wisest in the new
to extend to these ;
nen, in some form or another, the {
enetit of this exception.
Perhaps as feasible way as any
ut of all these various difficulties
'ould be to draw the citizenship :
ne in the lower house, making c
owever an exception in favor of
nose aliens who registered for t
he late election. For the upper l
ouse, the ballot might be given 6
} all residents speaking the Ha-
allan or English language, and E
assessed of certain amount of T
'operty. This, unless further S
nited, would allow few Japan r
