After surveying the scene he moved in

Almost Immediately the blue jackets

PRESIDENT poLE's LETTER.
Now Hawaiian Annexation 10 This Country Is
Viewed by blm

SAN FRANCISCO, June +-Walter q.
Smith. formerly editor Of the Hawaiian
Star, sends from Honolulu a copy of the
following self-explanstory letter received
by him from President Dole. dated Homo
lulu, May 25:
My Dear Sir,-Your letter enclosing
communication Of Mr.. Humphrey, secre-
taTy of the National Republican League
of the United States, which suggests that
some political organization aud the pro-
vislonal government should delegate you
to speak for Hawaii and the policy Of
annexation before the league convention
soon to be held In Denver. has waited too
long for An answer.
While agree with you that Il would
be unwise for the provisional government
or the political organizations which sup
port it to become identified with any
political party ia the United States,
when all contain friends and advocates
of the annexation policy feel that IL
would be no easy matter to find ons who
could represent the cause Of Hawaii
before the convention with more elo-
quence and enthusiasm than yourself.
Our request for political union with
the United States is to the whole Ameri-
can people, and II is not for US to encour
age any tendency that may exist to make
a party matter of that. With America, It
is an America n question, and many of
the best minds In all parts are fully en-
listed in its favor, NOT to speak Of the
great puDlic sentiment which is rapidly
mastering the situation.

A Friend of the Family.

MT. Arthur Gilman of Cambridge tells the following story: "You know there was picture of MT. Longfellow's chil- dren that was copied good deal which was taken in such a way that the arms of one of the little girls did not show, and so it was told about good deal that she had no arms. One day Mr. Lowell was in a car going by Mir. Longfellow's house, and near him were three women seeing the sights.
 ''One of them was explaining things to the others, and after pointing out the house she said, You know one of Long, fellows children had no arms MT. Lowell thought that story had gone about far enough, so he said, Excuse me, madam and told her Mir. Longfel- lows children all had the usual number of arms. She turned on him with sniff and little toss of her head and said: |: One of them has no arms, sir. I had it from friend of the family. '"-Boston Transcript.

Floating Palaces. |.

Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, the chief con- structor of the British navy, has given the weight of his high reputation to the possibility of constructing ship for At lantic navigation which will be 1 900 feet long and 300 feet broad, with engines of e0. GOO horsepower and an ocean speed of 15 knots. The ship he described as a '.steel island, which will be incapable of entering any dock, at any rate as at pres ent constructed, having several engines working side by side. He thinks that draft of 26 feet of water need never be exceeded.
 "I do firmly believe" said Sir Nathan iel, "that we shall get the mastery over the seas, and that we shall live more hap oily in marine residence, capable of steaming 15 knots an hour, than we can ever live in 8 seaside town. This project is not, however, intended to shorten the duration of a transatlantic voyage, but to make it more tolerable while it lasts. Most of the efforts hitherto made to deal with the problem of Atlantic navigation have aimed at speed as the first essen- tial, and have left out of account the pos sibility of making such mechanical pro- visions against nal de mer as would en- able the most squeamish of passengers to contemplate an Atlantic voyage with perfect equanimity. In this direction the achievements of the last half century have been truly marvellous. s."-Manufac- turers' Gazette.

American Champagne.

At banquet in this city, given in one of the popular restaurants, half pint bottle of champagne was set beside each plate. It bore French label, but not such label as those who drink cham pagne are accustomed to see.
 "What kind of wine is this?' asked one who could with difficulty tell the differ ence between champagne and bottled crab apple cider of gentleman across the table who has right to have such 8 question put to him.
 "That's what puzzles me-" and he read the French label with an English pronunciation. "I never saw that brand before. It is evidently some new mild champagne, adapted to the use of those who would get heady on heavier wine, drinking it glass at a time because 1t has 8 pleasant taste"
 Nothing more was said, but the inquis- itive person pushed his inquiries in an other direction, few days later, and was told that the champagne was made in Ohio-a pure article, and 8 mild and palatable one, but it was necessary to have French labels on the bottles to make it salable.
 And yet all the speeches on that occa- sion were full of American ardor. The American birds plumage was extolled as the finest in the world, but the Amer ican wine had to be palmed of with a foreign name.-Indianapolis Journal.

PRAISE FOR THE WEATHER CLERK.

 His Predictions Are More Accurate Than
 Is Commonly Supposed
 The weather forecasts are sometimes complained of as being not very accu- rate. But it appears from the annual report of the meteorological council just issued that the failures are not so numer- ous as is generally supposed. A sum- mary of results shows the percentage to have been as follows: Complete success, 48; partial success. 83; partial failure, IA; total failure, 2. This gives total per centage of successes of 79, which in climate so variable as ours must be re- garded as a very fair average.
 We have on former occasions referred to the facilities afforded by the meteoro- logical office for inquiries about the weather. Any person applying at the office between II a. m. and 8 p. m. on week days and between 2 p. m. and 8 p. m. on Sundays can be supplied, in writing, with the latest information in the possession of the office and with the latest forecast issued for any specified district on payment of shilling for each inquiry. Application may also be made by letter, inclosing 13 pence in stamps if the reply is to be by post, and shilling in stamps, in addition to the cost of the reply Consisting of 10 words, exclusive of the address), if the reply is to be by telegraph.
 Any person may obtain by telegraph from the meteorological office the latest information as to the weather in any district of the United Kingdom by pay ment of fee of shilling in addition to the cost of a telegram and reply to any postoffice. The telegram containing the inquiry must be addressed as follows: "To Weather, London" The payment for the reply should be for at least 10 words in addition to the address. Ap- plication may also be made for similar information to be sent either by tele- graph or post on some future specified Westminster Gazette.

A Spirit Bell.

"There is spirit bell in Arizona that is almost universally believed in," said w. H. Johnson of Tombstone. 'It Is about 40 or 50 miles from Tucson, at convent which was formerly monas- tery. It is one of the oldest cathedrals and convents in the United States, hay ing been built long before Arizona was a part of this country. The story goes that there were originally seven silver bells, but one night some sacrilegious person stole one of them.
 ''At midnight these chimes are rung, and the seven bells can be distinctly heard. One of them, however, Is sep arate from the others, and when they are silent it keeps up it's musical tones as it passes down from the tower and through the cathedral. Upon some holy days spirit monk can be seen carrying the bell away from the tower, but at other times no one can be seen. The chimes are rung at other hours, but there are but six bells, and an inspec- tion of the tower discloses but six. The convent is visited by almost every tour ist who comes to Arizona, but none of them has ever solved the mystery of the spirit ll."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Forced Draft

Our cruisers doubtless have as high a rate of speed as those of Great Britain. There is no reason to suppose that the re- suit of the speed trials as given are not exact. Yet only novice will have the idea that they will represent the normal speed on the high seas. Contractors take care that nothing Is omitted to make the speed all that is possible, with bottoms perfectly clean, picked coal and the em- ployment of the most expert firemen, with forced draft. It is well known that considerable repairs are frequent after speed trials, from taxing the machinery and boilers to their utmost, and perhaps injuries result that do not come to light for some time.
 A forced draft is SO destructive to boilers when inexperienced firemen are employed that only few hours steam ing may seriously impair them. Cap tain Evans stated that when in command of the Baltimore in the Behring sea he ordered forced draft in order to over take vessel before dark. As result the boilers had 500 leaky tubes.-North American Review.

The Bathtub Trunk.

Some novelties in bathtubs are made abroad especially for travelling purposes. They are made of best timed iron, with japanned oak outside and white inside. The novelty is that they can be closed up with strap and utilized as trunk to hold the clothes of the owner. A self heating gas bath is made upon the fol- lowing principle: An atmospheric gas burner is employed, from which the heat is conducted around the body of the bath by iues, and after doing this duty escaping by main flue. A bath can be heated in this way in 10 minutes at an expense of cents.-Hardware.

Maud Muller on a summers morn

Maud Muller on a summers morn Jerked the suckers from the corn And walloped the striped bugs that flew From the melon vines in the morning dew. Her dress, though adjusted with patient cAre< Was, maybe, little the worse for wear, But her face was as fair as the ripe, red rose, Though she had few freckles upon her nose. Her father, an honest and kind old jay, Was out in the meadow making hay
 And trying to lift, with his brawny arm, The mortgage that covered the dear old farm Twas an uphill job, and 1t made him swear. For he had ten children snd dogs to spare, And the crop was large, but the price was not, And the annual interest made him hot. The judge rode by on his swaybacked horse And saw Maud Muller and changed his courss. He was struck with her beautiful eyes and hair And fell in love with her then and there. He stopped and conversed of the growing cropa, And the wavering price, and the bucket shops, And was quite impressed with her sterling
 sense, As she with his classic eloQuence. He came each day and longer stayed, And offered his hand to the modest maid, And she, in true lover's parlance versed, Requested to be a sister at first, But afterward yielded. when he demurred, Submitted brief, and her dad concurred- And so it was settled the twain should bo One and the same for eternity.
 The wedding day came, twas grand anair, For the cream of the country was gathered
 there, And Maud was dressed like e fairy queen In the finest togs she had ever seen,
 And the judge was happy, and so was she, And so was the whole community.
 Meantime the Muller farm seemed to be Fresh meat for the ravenous mortgagee, But the judge, in a dignifed, legal way, Sought the creditor out and advanced the pay, And gave his wife's father farm beside Without the least show of judicial pride, And said to himself as he wrote the deed, "I'n not see my father-in-law in need. For he gave me his daughter, and she alone Is worth many times all the wealth own"

OBITUARY.
Noadiah Warner.

Noadish Warner died in Salisbury. Ct, Feb. End, 1894 where he was born Dec. 12, 1909. in the 85th year of his life.
 His grandfather, Noadiah Warner, after whom he was named, graduated at Yale college in I759 After his graduation he became theological student in the college and soon went as a missionary to the Indians in Western Massachu setts. Later he became pastor of the 1st Congregational church of Danbury. Conn. He was descendant of John Warner who settled at Ipswich, Mass. in l648.
 His grandmother was Elizabeth De- Forest, a descendant of Jean DeForest. who was the chief of the Hugenot colony that settled on Manhattan Island in l623.
 The late Nuadiah Warner was selected from eight sons by his father, Harvey DeForest Warner, to remain at home and inherit the homested which lies on the western shore of Lake Wononsco- pomac. There the deceased had always lived, and there he died-a noble, pure man, diligent and thrifty farmer. He never desired nor sought official distinc- tion, but kept we'll posted as to the political condition of our country and always considered it to be his patriotic duty to attend every election and vott for the best measures and conditions, which he did conscientiously. As to his religious views-he lived and died in the church of the Second Advent. He was very familiar with the Bible and re- lieieus works, which were his constant study. In conclusion I quote the words of the deceased Rev Dr. Adam Reid who said, "Noadiah Warner is one of the most conscientious and Godly men I over knew"
