Zimmerman Defeated.

Zimmerman, the champion cy-
clist OF America, met defeat in his
first race in the Colonies by J. W
Parsons, ten-mile champion OF
Australia, and who is looked upon
"a a most promising wheelman.
When Zimmerman trip was
first arranged Parsons was the one
man thought capable OF lowering
his colors. He Is but twenty years
OF age and is possessed Of great
strength, which he uses to good
advantage on the grass tracks, on
which he Is accustomed to ride.
When he secured the title OF ten
mile champion he was paced by a
tandem and won easily by over
half a lap in 26:15 So, worlds
record for a grass track.
The friends Of the American
champion are not disheartened by
his first defeat, as they know he
was not wound up for a hard race,
being naturally slow to get into
condition, but later on, particularly
in the great Austral wheel race,
he is expected to show a bit OF his
quality.

Strathnevis Long Overdue.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 27.-The
Northern Pacific steamship Taco
ma, just arrived from Japan, brings
no word OF her companion liner,
the Strathnevis, now several weeks
out from this port for Yokohama.
The Tacoma, however, passed
through a fierce hurricane on the
10Th inst, and it is extremely i'm
probable that the Strathnevis, be-
ing light and with her machinery
out OF order, can have weathered
the storm. The Strathnevis had
about 125 Chinese passengers, fifty
OF the crew and 1000 tons of gem
eral cargo. There is now but one
chance of the long-delayed steamer
being still afioat-that she has
made some of the harbors OF the
Russian islands and awaits favora-
bic weather to continue her voyage.

With a hold full of sundries and
a deck-load OF lumber, the Claud-
inc sailed for Maui and Hawaii
yesterday evening.
With an armed tug on a mysteri-
Gus errand and several conspirators
in Jail, the water front is rife with
filibustering stories.
The different colored lights dis
played at intervals on the Benning-
toms masts on the arrival OF the
Australia presented a very beauti-
full sight to the watchers on the
wharf.

OF INTEREST TO MANAGERS
OF PLANTATIONS.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small engines.
Why not generate your power from oae
CENTRAL Station? One generator can
furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
fugals, Elevators. PlowS, Railways and
HOSTS: also furnish light and power fos
radius of from Il to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-prioed
engineers, and only have one engine TO
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available it costs
nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY
is now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions at short
notice, and also has on hand a large
stock of Wire, Chandeliers and all EIec-
trical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Lighting
ana Power Plants; also attention is given
to House and Marine Wiring.

Another Damage Claim.

United States Minister Willis
has notified the Foreign Office OF
the claim for damages made by
George L. Ritman, one of the men
who left the country in conse-
quence of the January affair. The
Government will probably accept
the opportunity given of placing
the evidence to prove Mr.. Ritman's
completely, before the State Depart
ment.

Yellow Fever in Guatemala.

The whaleback steamer City OF
Everett arrived at San Francisco
on November 2Sth from Panama.
The steamer reports that yellow
fever is prevalent in Guatemala,
but that Panama is practically free
from the disease. This news comes
at second hand, the Everett coming
direct from Panama and bringing
only the reports which reached
there from Guatemala.

Fined Himself.

I'm the early days in Kansas" said
a lawyer" Judge Sam Vandibert was
district judge Of the western district
of the state. One night the officers
caught his honor and five friends play
ing poker. They were brought up to
be tried before himself. Judge Vandi-
bert first called the state of Kansas
rs. the five defendants, who all plead
ed guilty, and the Judge fined each SO
and costs. Then the judge said: I'll
now call the state Of Kansas VS.. Samuel
Vandibert. What is your plea, Mr..
Vandibert?' He then got up and
walked around in front of the bench,
and said: Plead guilty, your honor.
Then he went back on the bench and
proceeded to lecture Sam Vandibert.
He said: Mr.. Vandibert, l have fined
your comrades each SO and costs, but
yours is an aggravated case; you
should receive more severe punish
ment than the others. You have been
elected to an honorable position. You
owe a duty to society, and you should
set proper example for our young
men growing up. I'll fine you $25 and
costs. and you stand committed until

Greasers Coming East.

The lower class of Mexicans,
"greasers" they are called out west,
are immigrating east in large numbers.
In the past five years such inducements
were offered them in southern Texas
as cheap farm hands that they
brought all their friends on, and now
there are large "greaser" colonies all
over Southwest Texas. But immigra-
ton Is so great that even Texas hasn't
room for them, and they are now flock
ing to the North and East. A few
years ago Mexican labor was totally
unknown in the Southern states. Now
1t is plentiful. They are so successful
as cheap farm workers in the southern
states that they are steadily coming
this way, having already reached as
far as Central Ohio. A large number
Of them are now in Chicago, where
they introduced Mexican dishes at the

MaLy Well Authenticated Cases on Rec

The medical literature Of this coun-

of the spontaneous combustion of the

the victim has been slave to the liquor
habit, formed by an over-indulgehce,
either in the way CT using it as a bev-
erage or in the form of bath. In 1856
Sir William Gull, the great British sur

CO!ored Men at Atlanta.

The negro commissioners to the Cot
ton States and International exposition,
through the chief OF. the colored depart
ment, I. Garland Penn, have issued an
address to the colored people of the
United States, calling upon them to re-
double their efforts to make the display
of their lives at Atlanta's great expo
sition. After citing the fact that the
exposition company has complied with
their promise, the commissioners call
upon the negroes to do their duty, be-
cause north and south will be to see
them, and they should make their ut
most endeavor to have such an exhibit
as they are capable Of making. The
address urges every negro who can
send anything of credit for an exhibit to

hard, and she has quite a distance to go

such an arm in my life and the doctor
said he never did. She was broken out
on her shoulders and back and was just
as sick as she could be. To add to it
all neuralgia set in and the poor child
was in misery. She is naturally of a
nervous temperament and she suffered
most awfully. Even after she recovered
the neuralgia did not leave her. Stormy
days or days that were damp or pre-
ceded a storm, she could not so out at
all. She was pale and thin and had no
appetite.
Il have forgotten just who told me
about the Pink Pills, but got some for
her and they cured her right up. She
