some sort of physical and men
tai stage that the doctors fail
to write about. When it comes
right to the threshold death is
not much of an affair after all,
but the class who are con
demned to execution does not |
include many men capable OF
entertaining this calm view of
existence. Then it is clear that
the sensebilities of these crimi-
nails are largely suspended.
Even Charles Miller, the "boy
murderer" went bravely to
his death" at the age of l6
When Is he had killed two
young men. Miller had an
almost mature mind, but that
it was anything like normal as
he walked to his fate with
out wavering, js absurd to
suppose. OF two other cases
that came under the observa-
ton of the writer the central
figures were full grown men.
They walked to the scaffold
coolly, Snow was falling when
one of them looked around for
the last time. He smiled and
cheerfully babe goodbye to a
number of acquaintance. This
was in a small western town.
After the man was dead they
laid him out on a bench i'll the
Jail corridor. The sports of the
town filed past this bier and
touched the hands "for luck. "
His hands were pulled and blue
and so was his face and there
was a red streak around his
neck.
In spite of the cholera scare
and the consequent business
depression, (which by the way
we consider all nonsense, we
should not be alarmed at this
little outbreak, but brace up
we sold a bicycle on Saturday
and have had number of calls
and inquiries for our Monarch
and Tribune wheels. Riding
in the open air on a wheel is
an invigorating and healthful
exercise, and a great preventa-
tive of diseases. Our wheels
have taken a firm hold upon
the people of the islands, and
it is the popular and common
thing to ask man on a wheel
us this a Monarch or Tribune,
don't you like them, are they
not the best wheels z" This
popularity must mean that
these bicycles are superior in
quality and price to other
makes and hence people talk
about what they know to be
the best.
The Honolulu Fire Depart
ment has been furnished with
the celebrated ball nozzle to
fight fires, and the chief of the
department speaks very highly
of it. The spray from these
nozzles is uniform in all direc-
tons and distributes the water
evenly, and when used at fire
they make such a spread of
moisture as to leave no place
for combustion. When used
as lawn sprinklers their supe-
riority is at once noticed, as
the grass is wetted so evenly
as to make the use of the ball
nozzle the nearest approach to
rain that has yet been invent
ed. We have a number on
hand and so that all may have
an opportunity to own one we
are going to sell them at $1.50
for Japanned and $500 for
pickle plated.
Filtered water is of the most
Importance at present, and our
Gate City Filters are the best
easily cleaned, no germs
can passibly pass through this
filter, the filtered water being
clear, sparkling and as pure as
is possible for it to be.

that the position of China will be 10
strengthened that she may be able to
secure better terms of peace than she
could otherwise have hoped for.
The incident may lead to the breaking
off Of peace negotiations, which were
proceeding SO satisfactorily. or Mt least
may postpone further action in this di-
rection until Japan has guaranteed the
safety of Chinese ENJOYS and made prop
or reparatiOn.
The Chinese legation received prompt
notification of the matter, but their ad-

dispatches. Minister Yang Yu did not
care to discuss the subject. 1t was stated
at the legation that it was not believed
that it would lead to the total breaking

Big Packing House at Kansas City,
Kan, Destroyed by Fire.
At $50 O'Clock fire broke out in the hog
building of the Reid Packing Company's.
plant at Kansas and Railroad
Kansas City, kas., and almost the entire
group OF buildings was entirely destroyed,
causing a loss of over $1,OOO,OOO. Before,
the fremen had laid a line Of hose the roof
had fallen in. The flames from the hog
building communicated with the engine
house on the south and soon wrecked the
boilers and destroyed the effectiveness Of
the company's fire apparatus. A disas-
trous explosion was narrowly ayerted by
the fremen who, at the risk Of life and
limb, rolled twenty barrels Of gasoline
from the buildings.
From the engine building the FIRE spread
70 nve one.story ice-houses, each 200 by
10 feet. These were rapidly deyoured by
the flames, and the four-story storage
building, which was right in line. fell a
prey to the flames. There was 100000
worth OF meats in the basement in this
building. The first floor was used as q
warehouse, the second was filed with dry
sait meats. On the third fIoor were big
hogshcads filed with meat ready for ship
ment, while the fourth floor waa hacked
with dressed meats.
