Girdles were an object Of superstition,
more especially II they had belonged to
female saints. Such girdles were popularly
believed to possess certain remarkable
power-the power. namely. OF protecting
women from some Of the more serious i'll
nesses that are attendant or consequent
upon childbirth. This superstition per
meated through all classes OF the sex.
Queens credited the miraculous virtues OF
.our lady's girdle" and paid large prices
for the loan OF one, The majority OF these
girdles were believed TO have been the
property, during her lifetime, OF 81. Mar,
garet, the gracious patroness OF married
women. Nearly every nunnery In England

The speakers third reason for
favoring annexation was that the
commercial . advantages to be
gained would be benefit to the
whole people. So long as the
United States placed a duty on all
productions save rice and sugar the
industry of the country would
naturally be reduced to rice and
sugar.
General w. N. Armstrong fol.
lowed Mr.. Thurston. He advocated
solid work for annexation. This
country offered the best of agri-
cultural advantages. The new
land law would open up some of
the land. A plan of work in the
right direction was to bring in
some hundreds or some thousands
of American planters. 1t was the
duty of every man interested in
annexation to join with the Gov
ernment in furthering annexation
in Hawaii
Mr.. Hatch was called upon to
express the views of the Govern
ment on annexation. He said that
a guarantee that the Government
was in favor of annexation was
that they held office. When there
was any weakening on that
point there would Immediately be
a new cabinet and a new head of
the Government. That the COM
munity and the Government had
stood firmly waiting for action
through a long period of rumors
proved strength and solidity. With
faces of our old friends across the
water turned from us we were COM
PEELED to stand alone. This we
were doing and this we would con-
tinue to do. Each day proved the
strength of the Repub ic.
Acknowledgement Smith was
called upon and stated that if the
Government forsook the policy of
annexation he would resign his
seat Immediately. The principle
had deepened itself in his mind for
the past six years, and he had come
to the conclusion that nothing else
would ever do. He denied that
annexation would ruin the sugar
industry. Diversified industries
would improve the general con-
dition and as it has done before,
the sugar industry would adapt |
itself to the situation. If the an
nexation plank were abandoned he,
though born in this country with
his family around him, reared here,
would cast aside the whole
thing, completely discouraged.

An Ideal Cup Of Conee Can He Msds

Only One Way.
An ideal cup Of coffee can, IL Is said,
be made only in one way. The coffee
must be of the best quality and must be

as quickly as possible Connoisseurs in
coffee assure us that IL is out Of the ques.
tiou to make this beverage absolutely
perfect out Of factory roasted coffee that
has been allowed to stand in the open
Dir any number Of hours, and, in addi.
iion, one might say that such thing as
a cup Of good coffee from that which is
purchased ready ground is quite an i'm
possibility. The fine aroma Of the berry
evaporates in very short time. Given
the freshly roasted and ground coffee
an earthen coffeepot heated very hot by
being filed with boiling water, which
must be poured out again, and coffee

ground very fine almost to q powder.
Pour upon It boiling water-not merely
hot-cover tightly and allow the coffee
to filter through. Have ready the cups
heated by pouring boiling water in them.
put in the required qTantity of cream
and sugar, then FIJI up with the dis.
titled nectar from the coffeepot, and one
has a beverage that an exchange calls q
revelation. Never expect good results
from poor coffee or lukewarm water
and half cold utensils.

TRUE TO THEIR TRUST.


The American League was
crowded Wednesday evening to
hear the speeches Of Mr.. l.. A.
Thurston and others on current
topics. d. B. Smith acted as
chairman and introduced Mr..
Thurston. This speaker referred
to a rumor that had been passed
around to the effect that he was in
favor of The restoration of the
monarchy with Kaiulani at its
head. The proposition was too
absurd to be worth. ordinary no.
tice.
So far as Kaiulani herself was
concerned he had the highest re-
spect for her and hoped the Gov
ernment would, as matter of con-
ciliation, make her an allowance
But as for the restoration of the
monarchy he agreed with the we'll
known expressions of John T.
Morgan, when an empire in the
Western Hemisphere falls, ETC."
He was an annexationist on prin-
ciple and would remain so if he
turned out to be the only one in the
country. He would not support
any government unfavorable to this
platform.
The speaker called attention TO
reports that were being constantly |
circulated in the community. One
regarding an expression of. Attor-
ney-General Smith had been run
down by him and found to have or
iginated in the fert lie brain Of John
Richardson OF Wailuku. Mr..
Thurston urged that all reports of
that kind be run down and they,
would generally if not always be
found false. He urged confidence
in and encouragement to the men,
bers of the Government.
The speaker favored annexation
on account of the smallness of the
community and the fact that it
not a homogeneous peo
pie. The Caucassion race in Ha-
waii would never submit again to
the power of the monarchy. Po-
litical parties had been brought to-
gether on this common platform,
and were held together today by
this anticipation. With regard to
anti-annexationists, who objected
to the idea on account of labor, men
in the country who had families
here sincerely wished, if such
would be the effect, for little less
and more peace. The
American flag in Honolulu would
be the emblem of peace and good
will to the whole country. All
that would be needed would be an
old soldier to raise the flag in the
and take it in out Of the
rain.
Mr.. Thurston's second reason
for favoring annexation was that
he believed that in no other way
could Western civilization main
tain itself against the Ori-
entail. AS long as Hawaii
remained independent there
would be a constant stream of
Asiatics coming into it. The coun-
try was so overwhelmingly infiu-
enced by sugar that any indepen-
dent government in Hawaii must
to it. Asiatic laborers ,
had such a hold on the country
that nothing save strong power
could check it. Under annexation
Hawaii would derive the advan-
tages of the recent treaty between
the United States and Japan, which
would settle the matter. |
