This is the Christian way in which Rev.
+. W. ID. Mays, of the Pomeroy Independ-
ent, speaks of President Dole, of the Sand
wIch islands: "If anyone can read Dole's
reply to the president and not conclude
that he is boodler and a usurper and
negro throne stealer, we miss our idea OF
what a gentleman and statesman should be.
He seems to have great confidence ia the
fact that he can depend on Republican
administration to become pirate and help |
him to steal the islands of the sea where |
God did the Kanaka cannibsl plant as a |
punishment for the sins of that people"

with her household duties and had placed |
on chair pail of hot water, she turned
to reach for something else, when her Is
month-old child siezed the pau and over
turned Its contents. The water ran down
the little ones, body and terribly scalded
the flesh. Assistance was Immediately pro.
cured, and during the entire night all that
medical skill and a mothers love could sug-
gest was done to alleviate the suffering of
the little patient. On Wednesday morning
the child died. The circumstances render
the loss of the baby peculiarly distressing
to the parents, and the mother has much
more poignant grief than would result If
the death were from an ordinary malady.
