the annexationists aud myself took
place:
Q.--Do you think the queen is ct to
reign?
A.-Nol BY her signing the opium
license and the bill for the Louisiana
lottery and by other acts she proved her
self unfit to govern.
Q.-Do you think that the present
controversy would be relieved if the
question in dispute were left to the
votes of all the people ON the island?
A.--Nol The Chinese, the Japanese
Gnd the Portuguese would join with
the natives and vote down the best in-
torest Of the Hawaiian Islands
Q-What do you think Of the pres
ent attitude of the United States gov
elnment with respect to the Sandwich
Islands?
A.-Most unfortunate. We are wait
ing for change of administration at
Washington Mr.. Cleveland has unwise-
ly handled our affairs We want an ad.
uinistration at Washington which will
favor an annexation, and your next
residential election may settle our is
and affairs and settle them in the right
way.
Q.-What is the present feeling be-
tween royalists and those in favor of the
provisional government
Avery bitter and becoming more
and more dangerous, and great prudence
and wisdom will have to be employed
or there will be bloodshed.
Thus ended my conversation with the
annexationist.
AS l said in previous letter, without
taking the side either of royalist or an
nexationist, the Hawaiian Islands will
yet be republic in itself. What az
.:nazing thing that, after all the trou-
| lie tho United States government hats
Acd with the Chinese population noiG
within our borders, trying this and that
egislation to suit their case, any Amer
;can statesman should propose by ia,
| annexation of the Sandwich Islands to
add to our population the %, 900 Chi
nese and the IL, 900 Japanese now liv
ing in those islands, II we want this
addition IF 81, 1000 Chinese and Japa-
nese, had we not better import them
fresh from China and Japan?
From what have seen and heard i'll
this my journey l have come to the
conclusion that it will be a dire day
when the American government hope
lessly mixes itself up with Hawaiian
affairs. 1t would be disaster to them
and perplexity and useless expense to
ourselves. Glands off" and mind

Ai,no.t a Perfect Climate.

The climate of the Sierra, although
not SO very pleasant on account Of the
winds, is extremely salubrious, the heat
never becoming enervating, as it does
not exceed 90 degrees F., while the
nights arc deliciously cool Lung dis
eases are unknown. and tho sanitary
condition Of the Sierra may perhaps be
inferred from the reply Of an Old Amer

most abandoned mining place. Guada-

HOW TO MILK.

This Man Says Cows Have Good Ear For
Music.
A milking experiment is thus reported
IN u London paper:
Five cows w,re milked two weeks
each by two competent mixers. One
knew the milk was being weighed and
did his best to get every drop. The 9th
er MIXED as usual. The one aware OF
the experiment got 267 pounds the more
milk"
A competent" mixer leaving nearly
half pound of milk in every COW he
milked! How much would he have to
leave to be called incompetent
In milking heifer the first year
want her MIXED rapidly to the end
and stop. 1 do not want her stripped
much. A heifer loves to be stripped if
she is satisfied with her milker, and she
soon learns to hold back the milk so as
to make long Job of it. When she finds
there is to be no puttering, she lets tho
milk come down to the end.
Rapid milking satisfactory to the COW
is what gets the milk. A COW that has
been quickly milked often refuses to give
half her milk to slow milker
Many dairymen forbid any talking
during milking. 1t is pretty hard rule
to enforce. Any talking or noise that
cows are perfectly familiar with does no
harm, providing the milker does not
slack his milking. Holdi l mean any
noise that means no harm to the COW.
believe with herd of 40 good cows it
would pay to expend So a day for some
good music, both vocal and instrumental,
at milking time, and let the mixers join
in. The tunes of course should be lively,
1t has been proved to me that cows have
an ear for good music. can sing:
"I'll chase the D. round a stump,
And give him kick at every jump"
and my COWS will just pour out the
milk, 80 1 sing it lively, and my hands
keep good time. A COW will never do
her best for a slow n1ilker even if he
claws out the milk.
A rapid mixer may also be poor
mixer, if he milks with jerking mo-
ton or brings his fingers upon her teats
in manner disagreeable to her. Not
one in score who claim to be good
mixers really is.
1 have been milking half a century
about as regularly as / have eaten my
supper and breakfast and claim to be
an expert. An excellent mixer who
treats the COWS kindly is what always
am ready to employ at big wages. The
difference in the milking of 10 cows ono
season ky fair mixer or an excellent
one will almost pay his wages.
Milk with dry hands. would not
have my herd of COWS milked one season
with their teats wet with milk for $40 a
COW. In one case only do ever wet a
cows teats with milk. When COW
leaks her milk badly, wetting with milk
thoroughly after milking her will some
times stop it.--A. K. Hyatt in Breeders

Brand, a school teacher of Lawrence

farmer, was SHIELD up" on the streets OF
Cincinnati at five o'clock yesterday
evening and robbed of more than s1O,-

There were hundreds of pedestrians in
the immediate neighborhood at the
time, but not so much as a glance was
obtained of the thief, hence the police
are without description of him. As
Miss Brand was going down Central
avenue, near the side entrance to the
Grand Hotel, a man suddenly slipped
behind her, and, grabbing the bag,
gave it pull. The jerk displaced a
lot of bundles which she had under i,er
arm, and, as she struggled to save them,
she released her hold on the bag which
the man grabbed and ran off.

ARDENT sU1ToR.-W. F. Matthew.

ARDENT SUIToR.-W. F. Matthews,
business man of Lynchburg, was be-
fore the court in Richmond yesterday
upon the complaint of Mrs. Kate Nc
Farlan. She said he was sutton OF
hers who pressed his suit so violently
that she feared him and asked the court
to protect her. 1t appeared from the
evidence that Mrs. McFarlan and Mr..
Matthews met each other last January
in South Dakota, where she got q di-
vorce from her husband, and he one
from his wife. Their troubles started
at Lynchburg in October, when Mrs.
McFarlan was there visiting some
relatives, and Mr.. Matthews, according
to Mrs. McFarlan, called on her and
proposed marriage, and on being re-
fused, pulled pistol and shot at her.
MIR. Matthews went to the Kelley In
stitute in Maryland, and correspond
ence was kept up between them. Week
before last he went to Richmond aud
called on her. Mr.. Matthews was put
on the stand and told q very different
story from the one related. He admit
ted that he was fascinated with Mrs.
McFarlan, and said that they had been
quite intimate; that he had spent &c.

gether as man and wife. This the

TIE republican protectionists say
the result of the late election was the
peoples protest against the repeal OF
the Mckinley high tariff bill. But the
chairman of the republican campaign
committee says the re-enactment OF the
Mckinley bill will not be attempted
even if both branches of Congress shall
be republican. Indeed, judging from
what other leading republicans say,
among all their party, Mr.. Mckinley Is
the only man who is in favor of repass-
ing the pillaging bill that bears his
name. Why a higher tariff bill than
the present one should be desired by
any body, except the most avaricious OF
manufacturers, is hard to tell, as 1t Is
higher than the Clay tariff, than the
Morrill, and war tariff, and then the
tariff recommended by the republican
tariff commission.
