CALLED ON THE SECRETARY,
One Of the Hawaiian Commissioners
nt the State Department..


Mr.. H. A. Wideman. one Of the three TIa-
waiian royalist commissioners now In Wash
ington in the interests of Mrs. Dominis,
called at the State Department this morn
ing and had half hours interview with
Secretary Gresham. 1t is said that the call
was purely informal. In fact 1t could not
have been otherwise. as the commissioners,
being unprovided with credentials from any
recognized government. can have no official
standing before the State Department. So
the interview between the Secretary and
Mr. Wideman was rather conversational
than otherwise The former took occasion
to question the commissioner closely as to
the authority by which he appeared; what
the COMMISSION was doing here and as to
hawaiian affairs generally. To all of these
questions Mr. Nldeman responded freely,
anu among other things undertook to dis
abuse the SeCIetary's mind of the impress
sion that the commission was seeking TO in
nuence Congress in the ex-queens favor.
Inc interview was characterized by the
pest OF feellnS on both sides, but when the
commissioner left il was not known wheth-
er ne would call again, and as he had been
given TO understand that the commission
carrot be dealt with officially by the de-
partment there Is ground for the presump-
ton that their mission is at an end 1t is
not altogether improbable, however, that

cial provision made for the future mainte-
nance or her late majesty and suite, as

President's Sympathy,

Presidents housekeeper, died at the Chill
dren's Hospital on Wednesday last, as the
result of an operation. He was buried at
Rock Creek cemetery yesterday, and the
President showed his sympathy by sending
a beautiful wreath Of white flowers from
the White House Conservatives. He also
requested Rev. DR.. Alien of the First Pres
byterian Church, of which he and Mrs.
Cleveland are members, to conduct the
funeral services placing his private car
riage at the minister's disposal for that
purpose. Private Secretary Thusber au-
thorized the use of the office carriage in

The investigation was commenced some

Works There.
MONTREAL, Oct. 29.-Messrs. Edison,
Andrews and Deihanty of the New
York city commission appointed to in
spect systems of disposing of garbage
visited the new works here, modelled
like those of Leeds, England. The in
yentor of the system, Charles Thackery,
explained everything.
At the base of chimney, 100 feet
high, is a series of incinerators with
great closed freplaces with hop
pers at the top. through which the
garbage is fed, doors in front and ash
pits beneath.
Montreal collects garbage between 6
p. m. and a. m. The first of the in
Generators are supposed never to go out.
Along side of each incinerator is an aux
Hilary fire which helps combustion when
the garbage is very wet. All vspors
from the incinerators are carried through
a separate furnace called the fume Gre
ator Coal is used to start the inciner-
ators, and some times in the auxiliary
fires, but for the most part, the garbage
itself is the fuel used.

New YORK, Oct. 22.-The New York
State Sabbath association held its third
annual meeting Friday night in Brook
lyn. Among the other things with
which the association is trying to briSA
about is the abolition of all Sunday
traffic, Sunday excursions and Sunday
newspapers.
The address on the Sunday newspa-
pers was delivered by DIR. Theodore l..
Cuyler, who announced himself true
friend of the daily press, which he held
responsible for much of the good accom-
plished in the world, and thought that
all christians should unite in demanding
the suppression of the Sunday news
papers.
why" he asked, should tho news
paper men be allowed to carry on their
business when all other trades are re-
quired to suspend operations on Sun
days? There is no need of the Sunday
press. We got along very well without
it in the olden days and we could again.
While there is no reason why we should
have the Sunday newspapers, there are
many reasons why we should be deliv-
cred from them. The cleanest news
papers issue sporting and other topics
which are not considerate subjects on
the Sabbath. Ministers have to dig out
their parishioners from under the ava
lanche of blanket sheets which are every
Sunday launched upon the public"

Secured Is Estimated between $500
and SEQ, 600 Posse Organized and Is
IN Pursuit of the Thieves.
GoRDoN, Tex, Oct. 22.-There is as
yet no clew as to the identity of the
four men who held mp the westbound
Passenger train on the Texas and Pacific
railronad Friday at noon three miles
east of this place.
The holdup was one of the boldest
@Aer perpetrated in this state, and was
the work of unmarked men, armed with
Winchesters.
While Section Foreman Jim Lockaby
was repairing the track with his gang
the robbers approached him and de-
manded that the track be torn up to
stop the train. He replied to their re-
quest at the point of the rifles and re-
moved the rails.
After the track had been fixed so that
they could stop the train, whether it
wanted TO or not, the leader sent the
gang off to one side and told the fore
man to get his red signal and to stop
that train. He got just behind the
foreman with his 6-shooter.
When the train came to standstill
one of them went on each side to keep
the passengers from moving off. The
other two went after tho engineer and
fireman, carrying them all ahead of
them and stopping at the express car.
4alled to the messenger to open up. One
zbf the men saw the other car door was
open and told the crowd to step down
to that door. He called to the mes
senger to como to the door with hands
up.
One of them then mounted into the
car and proceeded to go through the
messengers small safe and then used q
spike maui to knock off the combination
to the through safe. making Messenger
Marshall do the mauling.
After they got out of the car they told
the engineer to back his train about a
quarter of mile. They then started
south and made good their escape.
The amount they secured from the car
is yariously estimated from $500 to $780,
600 and on this point the Pacific express
officials decline to talk.
There was $4,000 in gold in the safe
which the robbers failed to open.
Neither the mail car nor passenger
coaches were molested.
There is a reward offered for the rob
bers amounting to $780,.
After the robbery sack which they
had dropped was picked up bearing the
words, rs. Son, Strawn," with the
name of some wholesale man of San

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under tie cell
troll of the nerve centers located IN or near
the base Of the brain, and that when these are
der3nEcd the organs which they supply With
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t Is re-
lleinbcred that serious injury to the spinal
cord viii cause paralysis of the body below
t4aIHjured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
ptraly z3a portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause Tie arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TWO-ihirds of chronic diseases are duo to
the inparfeet action of the nerve centers at
the base Of tho brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ It
treating those diseases is that they treat the
orsan rather than the nerve centers which
are tho cause of the trouble.
Dir FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist,has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with IL, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods ef
treatment are wrong. All headache di22i-
hasS, dizziness, confusion, pressure blues,
