CLOUDS ARE ROLLING BY"
Enthusiastic Correspondent Talks
on Annexation.

Mr.. EDITOR The opinion Of a
very large majority of the people Of
this country is in favor of annex
ing the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States of America. This
opinion prevails in every class Of
society, and in every political party
save alone the small but noisy
group of chronic malcontents call
ed Mugwumps. These men, OF
whom our President is the worship
full master, are thoroughly mean,
vindictive, jealous and paltry. Be-
cause President Harrison advocated
the measure of annexation the
Mugwumps, big and little, opposed
il.
The latest elections, however,
show plainly enough how keenly
the people regret the change, which
their ballots (and mine) brought
about. Another election for presi-
dent will take place in the fall of
1896, and the result will be of a
character to prove to the inhabit-
ants of your beautiful islands that
they will be warmly welcomed as a
part of our great commonwealth.
Happiness and prosperity for Ha-
waii and for America will follow
the union. 1t is our present mis-
fortune to be governed by person
(for whom the writer unWittingly
voted) who, in following the bend
of natural inclination, has shown
greater ability as a fisherman, than
as statesman.
When the name of the president
was placed before the nominating
convention in Chicago, Senator Hill
and every delegate from the State
of New York, united in a written
protest against the selection of so
unfit a person. The convention
disregarded the protest and the re-
suit elevated spite-thwarted Ha-
waii - and checked prosperity.
The clouds are rolling by and Ha-
wall will yet receive from America
the greeting to which she is so
richly entitled.
AS it is fair that your govern
ment and citizens should have a
direct expression of the sentiments
that prevail in this country con-
corning Hawaii, letter of similar
import has been mailed to Presi-
dent Dole.
Yours respectfully.
REFORMED MUGWUMP.

The Modern Orchestra Leader.

The modern orchestra has been convert
ed into great. composite musical instru-
ment, on which the conductor actually
plays, and the specific skill ne has dcvel
oped OF playing on this ideal instrument
is an exact counterpart of what we call
virtuosity in the individual performer A
generation OF 'virtuosi OF the orchestra"
has sprung up, exercising the same fasci-
nation over the great crowd of music low
ers that other vlrtuosi have time out of
mind.
The orchestral conductor Is fast becom-
Ing the cynosure In the musical armament,
with the pole star of safety or shipwreck

Oyercrowded Gotham.

According to the tenement house COM
mission report, New York city below the
Harlem-that is, Manhattan Islapd-is
shown to have q greater density Of popula-
toin than any other city in the world
namely, 1882 per acre. Paris comes next,
with 1852, and Berlin third, with 113 g.
But in the Tenth ward the population
crowds to the extent Of $685. 20 per acre, and
in one sanitary district in the Eleventh
ward the density reaches even 9S6. per-
sons to every one of the 80 acres. 1t is
clear that in such crowds fresh air and sun
light must become unattainable luxuries
Every consideration of health, comfort and
of ordinary decency has to be sacrificed to
the demand of the rent collector. AS a
matter of fact, the committee found a
block in which 90 per cent of the whole
ground area was covered with brick and
mortar
BY way of comparison, it is pointed out
that the apparently densest small section
of Europe-the Josefstadt Of Prague-has
only 1854 to the acre. But the Tenth
ward alone has nearly five times the acre
age of the crowded district in Prague.
More than one half-to quote the commit
tee eight fifteenths-of the city's popula-
ton live in what are called tenements.
Including the better kind of flats, which
are legally tenements, the number is swol-
len to three-fourths, but of these the report
takes no account. A. Riis in Forum.

NOTION.
The visibIe Manifestation and the Invisi-
bio Intermolecuiar Vibration.

| Let US suppose a stretched cord or wire
| fixed at both ends, and let sharp blow be
| given it. The hand or other instrumen:
| which impaired the blow was set IN mo-
| ton in order 10 10 SO, and its motion was
one Of translation, but the cord which had
received tho blow and to which some OF
the motion has consequently been trans
ferred cannot change its place, for it is FIX
ed We know well enough what will hap
pen. 1t will commence vibrating, more or
less strongly and rapidly, according 70 the
strength Of the blow il has received We
have, therefore, here seen motion Of trans
lation changed into motion of vibration,
but similar end quite as familiar trans
formation takes place which is invisible.
Let Us take a coin or any small piece Of
metal and rub ir well with a cloth or hand
kerchief. In a short time 1t will become
warm, and If the friction be still contin-
ued, even unpleasantiy hot The visible
motion Of the hand has been transformed
into the invisible intermolecular vibration
which we call heat. That heat is form
OF motion" has now become a scientific
trulsn, but j. was not so at the commence
nent of tbs present century, when it was
still suppc- d by many to be some intangi-
bic Kind of substance named ''caloric,"
proofs TO the contrary being almost stimuli
taneously given by Davy and Rumford at
the end Of the last century, that of the
former consisting in melting two pieces Of
ice. carefully insulated from external heat,
by rubbing them together; that of the lat
ter In causing water to boil by the sole
means of keeping it in continual motion.
1T Is hardly necessary to add" says
Rumford, THAT anything which any insU-
lated body or system of bodies can contin-
ne to furnish without limitation cannot
possibly be material substance, and it ap-
pears to me exceedingly difficult, if not
quite impossible, to form any distinct idea
of anything capable of being excited and
communicated In the manner heat was ex-
cited and communicated in these expert
ments, except it be motion. Good Words.

England's Foreign Made Matches

Gan Indignant Englishman" writes:
why do all or nearly all our big cafes
and restaurants in the city and west end

match to light cigarette or cigar and secs

tured in Sweden, or sometimes it is Bel

must be and there are plenty of English
manufacturers who can produce matches

haps they can explain this question. One
gets sick OF seeing that everything used in

HOW SHE SAVED HER FATHER.
Dramatic Episode During the Reign of
Terror.

1cIIOIs
On the authority of Mile. de Lescure, who
heard it from the heroine's own lips, a
writer in The Guardian tells the true story
of Mile de Sombreuil s saving her father 8
life from the guillotine. NJ. de Som
breuil and his daughter were condemned
to death at the time of the September mas
sacres and We're waiting in the cart, sur
rounded by the mob, for their turn to
mount the soaffold.
Mile. de Sombreuil turned to the crowd
and asked what harm a weak old man like
her father could do to the nation. Some
OF the men answered that if she would
drink glass of blood to the nation they
would let Linn go and passed up glass.
She drank 1t down Immediately. The
crowd took her and her father from the
cart; they escaped and made their way to
England. She thought at the time she
drank blood, but afterward she concluded
that it was red wine, for she saw no one
stoop to fill the glass. To her death she
was never able, however, to see red wine
in glass without shudder.
