WHEN BABY PUT ON PANTS.

It's day we all remember, and it's scene of solemn state Still casts eleRtn of sadness when at home we congre9ete, For baby form is missing, and no childish prattle grants Its music sweet, refreshing, since the bab. put on pants. Twas transformation truly, and it marked an epoch grave. It took away dear babyland and boyhood to us gave. The change could be discovered with the slightest kind of glance At the pride flushed face of baby-that day he put on pants. It closed tho doors of lullaby and opened wide the gate That leads from arms of mother to the hill cf mans estate. The light of dawring future cross the fragrant pathway slants Of baby and enthralls hm-on the day he put on pants

German Police.

In his valuable work on Germany and the Germans, Mir ". H. Dawson dilates upon the all powerful police who usurp legal functions which would never be in trusted to them in England or America Rickety gates and doors, insecure sign. boards and neglected gas lamps receive prompt care from the vigilant German constable, who may also assert fargoing authority in private houses. "He super. vises the nightly locking of your street door at a sufficiently early hour. He sees that you have your chimney regularly cleaned, though chimney sweeping is often done under the direct supervision of the police authority, which sends its own men at its own time.
 He examines your stove periodically, and while he is about it may inspect other matters of domestic economy, your outer locks, pump handles and ash pit doors, Probably if it is summer he will also take a stroll around the fruit garden and spend a profitable half hour in search for cater pillars. In some places singing and piano playing with open windows are forbidden, and it is common house regulation in large towns that pianos shall be closed punctually at 10 o'clock in the evening, though with the permission of the neigh bors immediately above, below and on both sides the time may be extended. The regulation has much to commend it."

A Double Meaning.

A good story is told of famous Eng, fish engineer. An attorney went to him when he first began his career to ask him an opinion as civil engineer. After the opinion was given he inquired as to the fee and was told it was s5 guineas, which he accordingly paid. Some years later, when the civil engineer had acquired a reputation and been made fellow of the Royal society, the same attorney went up to him for an opinion, and when he had received it said; 'Iremember the last time was here I asked your fee, and you said it was 25 guineas, and so have brought Q check for that amount" The engineer looked at him and asked him If be knew what F. R. S. meant. The answer was: "Why, certainly. It means fellow of the Royal society,"" "Yes, >" said the engineer, land it means also. Fees raised since.'" -Exchange.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-It has been ru. mored in theatrical circles here that Miss Pollard's contemplated tour through the country, appearing as the leading lady in ia powerful play" would not take place; that, in short. the project had been aban- doned.
 Nelson Roberts, Miss Pollard's manager, {, says there is not the slightest foundation for the rumor. ''On the contrary,'' he says "engagements for Miss Pollard 8 company are being booked very rapidly. She will open in Cincinnati on Monday evening, October 1.''
 When the news of Miss Pollard's inten- tion to go upon the stage was first bruited about MT. Charles Dillingham; was mentioned as CO., partner with MT. Roberts. When seen, how ever, he said he had disposed of his share in the management. II have no definite information on the matter,'' he added. "l know that MT. Roberts has been mak- ing lot of arrangements for the tour, but am unable to say, as I have been out of the affair for some little time, whether or not the proposed debut and tour will be made.'

It is the opinion here that, in the event of MT. Flower declaring that he will not run again, MT. Thacher will receive the nom. nation.

Why He Wanted It and Why He Was
 Moved to Tears.
 An old man with knowing look and q big black satchel registered at an up town hotel the other day and was shown to his room. He was quiet and remained in his room most of the day. At night he came down to supper and after that went out for a walk. He came back about g o'clock and went to bed.
 In about 20 minutes bellboy came run ming down and told the clerk that there was a man up on tho third floor walking around in his nightshirt. The clerk hus- tied up and found the old man parading up and down the hall, swearing loudly. 'tHere," shouted the clerk, what on earth's tho matter with yous"
 "I'm mad, replied the old man, Ian Pm lookin fer gas. D
 Looking for gas2 What in thunder do you want with gas? Going to commit sui eide, or isn't electricity good enough for youf" -.
 " 'Tain't that, mister, !" replied the old man as he edged into his own room. "'Taint that This here light got in my room is all right huff, I s'pose, but I'm kinder rilcd at not findin gas here"
 Lot me ask you again what you want of gasf"
 The old man sat down on the edge of his bed.

BROUGHT TO LIGHT IN WARRINGTON, WHICH
 IS GREATLY DEPLoRED.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. H.-An unusually touching and pathetic case of destitution has come to light here, in which Robert Tyler Jones. grandson of President Ty- Ter, and first male infant born in the White H ouse, has been found living h an attic in the outskirts of the city suffering for the necessities of life, with an invalid wife and little baby dependent upon him.
 h July, 1887. his uncle, John Tyler, Jr. {. son of the president, and his private secre- tary at the White House. was stricke a with paralysis. He had held the office of special witness to certify to the destruc- tion of cancelled currency. The nephew came to Washington to nurse him and was appointed bis alternate under CIeveland's first administration. He held that office until July, S93, and every month he divided his salary into two eq ual parts, one of which he placed in an en- yelope and sent to the helpless uncle. This he did for six years without inter- mission.
 During MT. Harrison's administration an unsuccessful attempt was made to oust him because he had been confederate soldier. The last congress passed law that no substitutes should hereafter be em- ployed in any department, and this re. suited in his loss of official position and consequent distress. The case has been taken up by the Southern Relief society.

A GEORGIA BANK BADLY MANAGED.

GEORGIA BANK BADLY MANAGED
 CASHIER UNDER INDICTMENT.
 ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. IA. The First National bank of CedartowD, Ga., failed more than year ago and was placed in receiver's hands. Last February report was made on the condition of the bank by J. P. Spier, special examiner. Until to- day the public or those interested fnan- cially in the bank have not learned the nature of the report. Now it develops that the special examiner reported that it was criminally mismanaged. The cashier, J. O. Hardwick, has been indicted in the state court at Cedartown, but there has not been any prosecution either in the state or federal court.
 M T. Spier's report states that the Hard- W ic ks, who held controlling in terest in the bank, never paid in their subscription. They put fn promisory notes for part of their subscr lption to the capital stock. For making alterations in these promls3ry notes the cashier. HardWick, is now under indictment. Overdrafts exceeding by three times the ma ximum countenanced by law were made, but not properly entered. Stock that was transferred in August, 1883, was entered as having been transferred four months earlier.
 The directors wrote Comptroller Eokles asking him not 10 change the first receiver, stating that they feared a change might uot be to the benefit of the stockholders. They never received a reply, but the re- ceiver was removed, and man was sent from Washington to take charge.
 Tho special examiner charges that the banking operations were rotten.
 It was on the points of supreme excel lence that Dr. Price's Baking Powder re- ceived the highest honors at the Colum bian and MidWiuter fairs.

They Need Furniture.

1.-TWO pastors on Molokai" says
Rev. o. P. Emerson in the Friend,
"sre greatly in need of supply of
crockery. One of them is about to
entertain the brethren of the Maui
and Molokai presbytery at their
meeting; the writer thinks he has
need of plates and tea cups, spoons,
knives and forks. Two years ago he
had not enough dishes to set table
for two after the most primitive
fashion. We caught the other
brother once making his tea and
coffee in the came pot, and that was
the kettle. We then bought separ-
ate tea and coffee pot for him. These
brethren have eked out a living only
as they have raised their own taro,
caught their own fish, and had their
clothes given them. They are not
loaded down with spare cash. For
their sakes as we'll as for others in
like need we would be glad of a
larger furniture fund for pastors"

WHARF AND WAVE.

When the steamer Hawaii re-
turns to port, she will go on the
marine railway for an overhauling.
The steamer Kinau will return
from Hilo on next Tuesday, one day
ahead of time. On her arrival she
will be locked for thorough clean
ing.
The Australia will carry away a
heavy shipment of bananas but very
little sugar, and in consequence she
will have to take 300 tons of coal for
ballast.
The steamer Lehua is being retit-
ted for the coming sugar season. A
new smoke stack will be one of the
new improvements. She will be
placed on service at an early date.
The departure of the Hyacinth
has been indefinitely postponed.
The order to remain was received
after coal and stores had been
taken.
The japanese steamer Nanshan
left for Yokohama yesterday with
about one hundred Japanese. The
captain shipped a white crew in
place of the eight mutineers, who
were convicted the other day. Will
liam Bagley, James Darlington and
J. Woolham, three local characters,
are members of the new crew.
The steamship China was adver-
tised to leave San Francisco on last
Tuesday. She usually comes down
in less than six days, and may be
expected on next Monday. There
was some talk along the font yes
terday about the China attempting
a record-breaking trip on her pres
ent voyage if it is so, the agents
of the steamers in Honolulu have
not been apprised of the fact.

ton in the far East have been COM
ing out since communication was
established. With attention now
riveted upon the Asiatic war, all
sorts of facts and reports are re-
ceived. Some of these relate to
fragrant abuse of power and dis
honesty on the part of Government
officials. Some of the Chinese here
have declared that their country
was being sold out by traitors.
Nearly all agree that the greed of
men in official positions has greatly
crippled China. The following on
the subject is a dispatch from Vic
toria, B. c.:
Among the passengers on the EN-
press of Japan was Major Richter,
late of the Chinese army, who threw
up his post of inspector general at
Tien-tsin in disgust. He was formerly
in the German army, and was COM
missioned by Ii Hung Chang a couple
of years ago to inspect all the troops
of the regular militia and report on
them and suggest reforms and i'm
provements. He entered heartily on
the work, but soon found it impossible
to accomplish it.
He found corruption and fraud ram
pant, even his reports to Lii Hung
Chang being garbled and cut before
they reached him, and he could ac-
complish nothing. The war with
Japan was never expected, and when
it came the Chinese were in a state of
decentralization, poorly armed, poorly
drilled and generally disorganized.
Large sums of money had been ex-
pended to increase the efficiency of the
army, but they had found their way
into the pockets of greedy, avaricious
officials.
After leaving China, Richter spent
a short time in Japan and had long
conference with high Japanese Off
cials at Hiroshima. When taxed with
having given away valuable informa-
ton, Richter laughed at the idea, for
he said he could gain no information
from them he could give to the Jap
anese. The japanese had been pre-
pairing for war for several years. They
had complete surveys of every port,
the result of a large amount of open
and also secret work by spies. Major
Richter said they had excellent intor-
nation as to the defenses of Tien-tsin.
