A Barefaced Insult.

The Advertiser lately presented
as statement in which besides
using in an insulting manner the
expression of Great and Good
Friend" as applied to the Presi-
dent of the United States it also
allowed the publication of story
which implied that the crew of
the U. S. S. Philadelphia "un-
derstood'' that they were to desert
their colors and act the part of
towards by running away
from the Provisional mot Hawa-
liam troops. Much surprise has
been evinced by American citi-
zens here that such bare faced,
and. believed to be, untruthful
statement should be allowed to
pass unchallenged, but, so far, the
American officers and men of the
U. S. S. Philadelphia have quiet
ly accepted the implied insult to
their flag, their Communicating
chief and their own honor. And
so has the Minister.
Following is the tale published
by the Advertiser under the
heading They were to run. A
sailor from the Philadelphia ex-
plains his ORDERS"
IAN amusing story of what
might have happened had the
American troops landed accord
ing to the wishes of our Great and
Good Friend has just come out.
A few days ago, some one asked
sailor from the Philadelphia
whether the crew of that ship had
made any preparations to land if
called upon by Minister. Willis to
do so. He replied that they had.
and went en- to say, in perfect
good faith, that the way thew
understood the matter was that
if they were called upon to shoot
at the government forces, thew
were first to fire over their heads.
then the Hawaiian troops were to
do the same. and then the United
States troops were to run. He
seemed perfectly sure that this
was the programme that would
be carried out. =

Poverty and Grief.

Gszs al those P. G. soldiers
Standing at their posts,
Some are robust looking
whist others look ike ghosts
7t.ra are more that look like spnnssfs'
And Others resemble pugs.
But our sw-ahiding citizens
Are tired OF those Mugs
Than. are more thai do remember
They have served term IN jail-
Tn the cold month of December
wban no one would 20 their bail
Thar ars more that were beach-eomosrs
Just recently, this Fall.
But now they've struck the racket
That suits them, one and all.
The huns have fallen in the ranks
And gave the streets spell,
Whilst some have said since they have
joined
THEY'D sooner be in-vel.
The scrubs from foreign countries
Have hocked in here ike bees
Those are the class OF people
That uphold the great P. G's.
I must inform this Government
And tell them one and all,
That we that are bred and born here
Have got no show at all,
They support those buns and loaters
that make up Tins secret clique,
But Congress now viii soon decide
And make the P. G's. sick

Are nothing else but cranks,
Whilst some of Captain Charities corps
Declare that they are ''Yanks."

And won't be in the lurch,
Still they know they're doing wrong
And yet they go to Church.

What an intelligent class of hoo-doo's
Uphold the great P. G's.
The time is drawing to close
When politics viii boom,
And we that have been cheated
Our rights We will resume.
We then will drink hearty toast

And once more be united

The Work of Dust.

Dust has a very large share in nearly
all the phenomena of the earth's atmOs-
phere. Ii is what makes the clear sky
appear blue, and when we look up into
the sky we see the dust in the atmos-
phere illuminated by the sUn. There Is
nothing elSs before us that can permit
the light to reach the eye. Light goes
invisible, straight through all gases,
whatever their chemical composition.
The dust catches it, reflects it III every
direction, aud so causes the whole at
mosphere to appear clear in the same
way that 1t makes the sunbeam visible
i'll the darkcned room. Without dust
there would be no blue armament. The
sky would be as dark as or darker than
we see 1t in the finest mOOnleSS nights.
The glowing disk of the sun would
stand immediately upon this dark back
ground, and the same sharp contrast
would prevail upon the illuminated sur
face of the earth-blinding light where
the suns rays fall and deep black
shadows where they do not.
Only the light of the moon and the
stars, which would remain visible in
the daytime, would be able to temper
this contrast i'll slight degree. The il
Illumination of the earth's surface would
be like that we see with the telescope
on tie lunar landscapes, for the moon
has no atmospheric envelope that can
hold floating dust. We then owe TO dust
the even moderately tempered daylight,
adapted now to our eyes, and it Is that
which contributes much to the beauty
of our landscape scenery.-Dr. p. LIE
nard in Popular Science Monthly.

DANGEROUS TOYS.
Gum Balloons and Bagpipes That Spread
Loathsome Diseases


There are few persons who walk along
the streets of London whose attention
has not been directed to the exceedingly
ingenious toys which are sold by the
itinerant venders for the delectation of
children One of these Is hollow tube
of paper, furnished with a short piece
of bamboo at one end. up to which 1t Is
coiled by the action of a very slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo the
coil is unrolled and reaches forward
nearly yard. The sudden extension of
this coil produced by. blowing in 1T is
source of great amusement. Toy bag
pipes are also popular contrlvances-
These are not blown in the usual way,
but the breath of the performer is made

which. once blown into, supplies suf-
ficient air to play few bars of any
popular tune.
Our contemporary, The Lancet, has
called attention TO the possible conse-
quences of buying these toys, which, 1t
SAYS, are presented to a child after hav

and perhaps wet with the moisture
of the still more questionable lips of the

says, has not unfrequently been known
to be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles This is perfectly true. Persons
who would hesitate TO drink out OF
glass that has been used will buy and
present toys of this kind 10 their chill

been used or by what disease they may
be contaminated. Among the impover-
ished makers and venders sore throats,
diphtheria and contagious fevers III ev-
cry stage may be raging, and children
may contract fatal diseases even of a
worse character than any we have men
toned by blowing and using these ques-
tionable toys Surely 1t is only neces-
sary to call attention of persons TO the
evil, for careful supervision would pre-
vent the dissemination of loathsome
disorders by these means.-London

Science has disproved the rural belief

The old time rural belief was that the

ically upon the milk and first sourcd and
then solidificd it. The theory is a plaus-
ible one, easily derived from observing
one set of facts without knowing the
existence of others more important to
the situation. 1t happens that milk

Washington, August e.-Bnt one more
appropriation bill, the deficiency, re-
mains to be acted on by the senate,
the sundry civil bill having been passed
today after three days discussion.
A resolution offered yesterday by
Chandler directing special committee
to investigate the Dominion Coal Co.,
Of Nova Scotia, whether 1t was organ
lied or is being conducted in cxpecta-
ton that congress would repeal the tar

government are interested in the COM
pany, and whether any assurances that
the duty would be removed were given
the, company and If SO, who gave such
assurances and whether steps are being
taken to fulfill the assurances, was laid
before the senate, and Chandler urged
its adoption. Chandler claimed that
John e. Russell, of Massachusetts,
avowed his connection with the Do
mlnion Coal Co., and was to be an
avowed participant in the Mrofits to
come to the company from the removal
of the duty on coal. He came to Wash
ington to give counsel and advice to
the president and urge him to stand
fast on the Democratic principle Of
free coal. He thought John +. Russell.

Of the duty on coal, would bear lnvestl-
cation, and he believed the facts which
had been submitted. not only warranted
the senate investigating the charges,
but required 1t to do so. The resolu-
ton went to the calendar under the

TWO THOUSAND KILLED
Battle Between the Chinese and

THE JAPs MEET DEFEAT.
Japs in China and Cinnamon IN
Japan Under Uncle Sans
Protection.
Associated Press.

Washington, August IA telegram
received at the Japanese legation says
that the Chinese government has no
titled Japan that the Japanese minister
at Toxic and consuls throughout Japan
would be withdrawn on the 7th of Aug
ust AS consequence of this, the Jap
anese government has notified its
charde d'affairs at Peking and its con-
suls throughout China to withdraw.
No formal statement that state OF
war exists between China and Japan
has as yet been communicated to the
Japanese legation here.
At request of the Chinese and Jap
anese governments through their rep
resentatives here, the state department
has instructed United States Minister
Dunn, at Toxic, and Mr.. Denby, in
charge at Peking, to take under The
protection of the United tates, the til
zens of China in Japan, and the Japgn-
ese in China. This is distinctively a
war measure, and although it cannot
be learned at the state department that
it has been regularly notified of war
between China and Japan, this move
ment on the part of Secretary Gresham
indicates that he has been so advised,
and is proceeding on that information.
The selection of the United States
in this case by both parties is re-
garded as evidence of thier belief in
our impartiality.
