At its last session the New Jersey
legislature provided that to encourage
patriotism, proper and appropriate en-
rcises shall hereafter be held in all
public schools in the state Oh the Fri
lay preceding W~ashington's birthday,
Decoration day, Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving day. The law also pre-
'!ded that if the teachers failed to
'arry ont these provisions the school
authorities should have power to can.
eel their licenses. This law was gen.
rally ignored. Probably the teachers
thought that with such an example of
patriotism as Smith in the United
states senate it would be useless to at
'empt to teach anything new in the
way of love of and duty to country.

SOUNDS LIKE A MIRACLE.
Remarkable Case of Alleged Faith
Cure in Pennsylvania.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Lebanon, Dec 9.-Five years ago Miss
Catharine Shroff, a daughter of John
Shroff, blacksmith of e29 Church street,
then 29 years Of age, was stricken down
by nervous prostration. Five physicians
were successfully called in and did all in
their power to relieve the sufferer but
all agreed in pronouncing her case hope
less.
The young woman lost the use of her
limbs and became confirmed invalid.
A year ago Miss Shroff discontinued the
use of medicines and six months ago the
Rev. jeremiah H. Won Media, pastor of
the Salem United Brethren congregation,
of which Miss Shroff is a member, placed
her case in the hands of DR.. John Alex
ander Dowie, divine healer" of Chi
cago, who, after much correspondence,
fixed to-day as the date of her deliver
ance.
At the appointed hour the clergyman
and Miss Shroff in their respective homes,
engaged in prayer. At the expiration of
half an hour the young womans mother
approached her bedside and commanded
her to arise. Those present were aston
ished to see Miss Shroff rise and walk
about the room, apparently restored to
the best of health. An impromptu prayer
meeting ensued, and as the story became
noised abroad great crowds thronged the
house.
Miss Shroff seems free from all signs
of nervousness and Rev. Won Media and
her other friends who believe with her that
the relief afforded will be of a permanent
character consider II a genuine case OF
cure by faith, pure and simple. There is
great rejoicing among the believers in
the faith cure here.
The Rev Mr. Won Media was seen to-
night in regard to Miss Shroff's cure.
''In the first place." said he, Il want to
say to you that this cure was not Effected
by what is called faith cure. The term
faith may mean belief in anything. II
generally means, in this sense, belief in
what IS termed Christian Science. The
method used in this case is what we who
believe in IL call divine healing. Its chief
exponent in America is John Alexander
Dawie OF Chicago.

lous one II was FIVE years ago last Sat

a tax to settle a Judgment and cos
recovered against the district of Opelika
in the United States court by John A.
Colvin of Atlanta. The amount of the
judgment and costs is nearly 5000. over
twenty years ago the city of Opelika
voted S25, 900 subscription to the East Ala
bama railway and the same amount to
the Savannah and Memphis railroad, and
bonds were issued and negotiated, mostly
to New York parties. There has been
considerable litigation resulting from the
issuance of these bonds, and the city has
been sued several times in the United
States court, and one council came
near being imprisoned for failure to as
sess and collect a sufficient amount Of
tax to settle one judgment. Finally the
charter of the city was abolished and
a debt-paying commissioner appointed to
compromise and settle this indebtedness.
The interest at the time amounted to as
much as the principal, which made the
whole amount about 100000. The COM
mission succeeded in compromising and
settling most of the bonds at less than
Is cents on the dollar. Colvin and a few
others refused to compromise, however,
and the result is the suit now pending
in the United States court.

Unstable Fighting ships

Many Of the French fighting ships
have shown deficient stability, and
their superstructures and military
masts are being rapidly removed.
This is being done to the Magenta at
Toulon, and at Brest the Hoche, and
the Brennus will be in dock-yard
hands for many day, the after fight
ing mast in both cases being bodily
removed, and the Charles Martel, now
building, is 10 be altered in the same
way from the original design. The
cruiser Friant has had both masts cut
off as low down as the bridge; thus
she loses four machine guns previous
~ placed in her fighting tops. AS
this vessel was altogether overweight
ed and fioated deeper than her design,
she is to have four torpedo tubes and
the proportionste torpedoes, and all
the heavy gear sppertsining TO them
discarded, and the crew is to be less
ened. The Lsnsquenet has again
broken down on trial.-London

A BOYS PROMISE.

The school was out, and down the
street
The noisy crowd came thronging,
The hue of health and gladness sweet
To every face belonging.
Among them strobe little lad,
Who listened to another,
And mildly said, half grave, half sad /:
" 1 can't-I promised mother"
A shout went up, ringing shout
Of boisterous derision;
But not one moment left ia doubt
That manly, brave decision.
"Go where you please, do what you
will"
He calmly told the other;
"But / shall keep my words, boys,
still;
1 csn't-I promised mother"
All! who could doubt the future course
OF one who thus had spoken?
Through manhood's struggle, gain and
loss,
Could faith like this be broken?
Gods blessing on that steadfast will,
Unyielding to another,
That bars all jeers and laughter still,
Because he promised mother.

a BOILING LAKE OF LAVA.
Wonders Of q Great Hawaiian
Volcano Described.

Mauna Loa, the gigantic Hawai-
ian volcano, has two craters or
openings, one Of which, Kilauea, is
the largest active volcanic crater
in the world. This marvellous era
ter is really a vast lake of boiling
lava, which rises and falls contin-
ually by the action of subterranean
fires.
In tossing to and fro like a
trouble sea Of molten metal, the
lava is dashed against the cliffs
and hardens there in the form of
long, CLASSY filaments, gigantic
knobs, miniature trees and in init
alton of grass, leaves, etc. Another
form Of CLASSY flaments to be found
along the shores of this fiery lake
is in the shape of queer punches
and tufts Of lava made up of an
aggregation Of vitreous threads
which the natives call "Pele's
hair" Pele being the goddess to
whom the mountain is dedicated.
These CLASSY threads appear to
be caused by the passage Of steam
through the motion lava. In so
doing small particles in the shape
of bubble-like balloons are thrown
into the air, leaving a tail behind

A Cable Under the mazon.

Aninterestipg variation in the usual
run of submarine cable work will soon
be shown in the laying of cable
from the mouth of the Amazon 400
miles up the great river. This novel
work will place the large and grow
ing trade of the dim but rich interior
in direct communication with Eu-
rope, SIS well as with the immedi-
ste ports, aud will unquestionably
contribute largely to the develop
meDt OF Brazilian commerce. To
carry land lines over this vast
and little known territory would
simply be impossible, and, as there
are practically no railroads parslleling
the river, the steamboat and the cable
are the great means of commerce and
civilization. There is a hint here,
however, that might well be adopted,
even in the United States, where, if
wires were cabled and carried along
the beds Of all available streams
and rivers, there certainly would
not be the Interruptions now
experienced through the failure
OF the land lines every time a strong
gale blows. In Germany, where mil
itary considerations often cause things
70, be done that would not be done IN
the mere interest of peaceful trade, no
small proportion of the telegraph
wires are thus submerged in order to
avoid any break in the service at crit
icsl moments.-NewY York Post.

FOOTBALL AND LACROSSE.
Enthusiastic Meeting of the Ath-
letic Club Last Night.

A meeting Of the H. A. A. c. was
held last night to take action OH
plans for the coming season OF
athletics. Quite a good number OF
the members of the club were
present. They became very en-
thusiastic over the outlook for the
season.
Although great deal of talk had
been INDUCED in regarding the for
nation of another lacrosse team in
the city, nothing was thought about
the matter until it was brought up
for discussion in the meeting last
night. 1t was decided to form a
team Immediately and begin prac.
tice. Twelve sticks will be pur-
chased by the club. 1t is hoped
that the action taken by the II. A.
A. c. will bring the long dormant
lacrosse agitation TO fever heat.
Certain persons who Joined the
first lacrosse club formed in the
city will join the ranks of the II.
A. A. c. for the privilege of getting
a chance to play their favorite
game.
A communication will be sent
the Oahu College football boys ask
ing information as to the formation
of team at that place this year.
The b. A. A. c. have a lot of good
material which they would like to
put into training, but which they
do not consider worth the while
bothering with unless some com.
petition can be found. 1t is hoped
that Oahu College will send
favorable answer, so that the lovers
of the sport will be given a chance
to witness good display of that
pastime.
1t was decided to give a road
race under the auspices of the H.
A. A. G. three weeks from last
Saturday. No doubt there will be
a great many entries, as this kind
of sport has always taken well in
Honolulu. The last one, it will be
remembered, was great success.
Others matters were attended to
and the club adjourned.
