How a Sailor Made Change for the
Better-A True Yarn About an Old Salt.

Capt. Pickett of the Barge .office, had
a visitor last week. His name was
Captain Alvin Oliver. He runs and owns
packet sloop and does a snug little
business along the coast. This is story
about him, and it is good story, too.
In 1890, Captain Pickett first saw him
in sailors boarding house in thisTclty.
He was very much intoxicated, but there.
was something about him that seemed
to Indicate good qualities Later Cap
tain Pickett talked with him, as is his
custom with sailors upon matters of per-
sonal reform and religion. He found
that the man had known his brother in
California, and was his closest comrade
IN the same company in the Rebellion.
Captain Pickett planted the good seed
in this drunken sailors heart. He had
been useless. if not very wicked life.
He was about so years old, was only a
sailor before the mast, sailing from
Portland and Boston, and was victim
of strong drink and kindred habits.
His aged parents lived in Georgetown,
Me-, vet their son had visited them sbut
once in the past Is years simply because
he was rover. 1t was matter of ne
glect, not of enmity.
Two years ago, Captain Ticket again
met him on wharf in this city He
said, Pickett, I've been thinking about
that matter I'm going home and make
the old folks's last days their best ones.
He reformed to such good purpose
that he not only left off drinking but
smoking, chewing and swearing as we'll.
He went to work with a will. and is
the owner of his packet boat.
This spring, while here in this city, he
exhibited the strength of his conscienti-
BUSINESS by refusing to buy lot of fish
on Monday, because he had learned that
they were caught Sunday. He is still
unmarried, and during his trips back
and forth along the coast he performs
the same evangelical work among the
sailors that he meets that CaptainFick-
EFT does in this city.

Mrs. Lease Tells How She Learned the
 Secrets of the Order-Hcr Views on the
 Hard Times.
 CHICAGO, Feb. a7.-Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas, whose efforts in behalf of equal suffrage has made her famous throughout the country. was in the city yesterday en route to New York She was asked about her masonic con- nections and replied:
 When I was girl of 16, I was liv ing in LoclSport, N. Y. friend of mine, who was prominent mason, put it in my way to witness masonic initiation, and l saw the three degrees administered to candidate"
 Were you admitted to the lodge room?''
 No. I was behind door that had a sliding wicket in it, and 1 saw the whole proceedings through that wicket So you see that is the way became mason. For to be in posses sion of the secrets of the craft is to be a mason.
 Mrs. Lease further stated that she believed the time had come when women should bind themselves to- gether for mutual aid and protection in an oath bound organization in the line of masonry. and that she intended oyganlzing lodges for women. Mrs. Lease concluded by saying:
 This cry of tariff being at the bot tom of hard times is all chaff, and does not affect any of our party. Secretary Windom, in his speech in New York the day he was stricken down, said that a great financial crisis had been averted by the selling of bonds before there was need of the m by the govern ment. When the effect of the bond sale had been passed. the depreciation he had averted for a time came upon us. The real cause of this depression goes back to 13, when silver was de- monetized, and the recovery will not follow until silver is restored to its rightful place.

VISITING THE SICK.
Better Not Visit Them at All Than Re
 Thoughtless.

Better Not visit Them at All Than Be Tboughtless.
 In the first place, the sick are not al- ways to be visited. Very often the doctors express orders are that they receive no company. and when this is the case it is the height of folly to ad- init visitors into their rooms. If they require freedom from excitement. and the doctor prefers that they shall see only the nurse and himself and per haps, the family. the doctor knows best. and is an autocrat with absolute power. It is his right to be obeyed without murmur
 The best time to call upon your friend who is ill or convalescent is usually the middle of the morning After nights rest, bit of breakfast and the morning toilet the invalid is refreshed and ready for the whiff of the outside world which your coming will bring
 In visiting the sick. preserve, if you can, your natural, everyday expres- sion of countenance. If you are shocked at pallor or cancellation. con- ceal it or stay away, for the moral ef- feet of pity or surprise is often ex- tremely perilous Speak in cheerful but not exaggerated tones
 In carrying presents to the invalid there is room for the exercise of taste and thought Flowers are always mes- sengers of love, and in their silent way speak of comfort and hope and the big, bright. sunshiny earth as nothing else can. Never hesitate about taking or sending flowers to an invalid. Though they may not be kept in the room at night, they return to him with the new day, and always they are full of bless ing.
 Fruit is so beautiful and so pictur- esque that it pleases the eye, though prohibited to the palate. Very small books which may be held in the hand, photographs, pretty cup and saucer, dainty spoon, are pleasing gifts to the sick.
 Do not take children into the sick room, except for a few moments to give pleasure to the invalid-Harpevs Bazar.

 Confession of a Woman.
 MEMPHIS. Tenn, Feb. 21.-A special to the Commercial from West Plains, Mo, says:
 ! Word was received from Mountain Home, Ark. last night to the effect that Mrs. Anderson Carter, had con- fessed that her husband Anderson Carter, with Bart Carter and Jasper Newton, had killed Hunter Wilson and afterwards robbed the house of 1900. Her confession was followed by one from Bart Carter. who acknowledged that he, with the other two, com mitted the crime and told where the money stolen from the house at the time of the killing could be found. Parties have gone in search of the money.
 Great excitement prevails in Baxter county. Men were seen going to Mountain Home all day in squads, and it is thought here that tine three men will be lynched. Sheriff Eatman will use every effort in defending the lives of his prisoners.
 William McAnnich, who is also charged with the same offense, will be released by habeas corpus.

luble, having with great difficulty
secured the approval of the
whole nation to become the crown
of the edifce. There can be no
comparison between such a gov
ernment and the one now over
the Hawaiian Islands. Its own
authors declared that the Provisional
Government should exist until terms
OF union with the United States
could be negotiated. Whenever the
United States Government was ap-
preached with terms of union, the
independence of the Hawaiian ISL
ands was surrendered, and the des-
tiny of this country made an inter
national question. Then, when the
United States, with these islands
thus placed on her hands, received
and took into consideration the pro.

virtually made the Queen party in
court on an equal footing with the
Government that had teudered this
country to the United States. While
this remains the situation, there can
be no scdition here short OF at
