IT'S 4 QUEER WOMAN who cannot understand the benefit to be derived from the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Did you ever see 8 sickly woman with bright eyes, clear skin, and rosy cheeks?

MT Hard saw the gravity of the situation and instantly pulled his horses across the track. The sudden turn with the horses on a mad run, broke the whitfietree and freed the horses, who flew in a homeward direc- tion, with their master in hot pursuit.

Hawaii and the British Cable.

HoSoLULU. Oct 20.-sanford b. FEM
ing, who recently arrived here from Vic
toria. b. c., with credentials as represen-
tative of the British government, has been
in consultation with the Hawaiian gov
eminent with a view TO obtaining conces-
sions from Hawaii in the event of the
cable touching here. He has proposed to
the government to cede Neckar island to
Great Britain and grant an exclusive right
to land cable on Hawaii, but at the last
session of the council both these requests
were refused. Government officials, how
ever. ars divided on the question. At
least one member OF the council favors the
British proposition. Others say that any
Pacific cable must touch here, and 1t is
not necessary TO grant any great conces-
slons IL Is rumored that the government
decided TO lay the whole matter before the
government of the United States, in the
hope that an American cable can be Sc
cured.
