The annual ceremony of testing the stand

the United States. as well as those Of Great
Britain, is called the trial of the pyx."
The custom is very ancient, and the name
Is derived from the "pyx," or chest, in which
the coins reserved for examination were
formerly kept. In the United States the
trial, which is provided for by law, is made
on the second Wednesday Of each recurring
February before the judge Of the United
States district court, the comptroller of the
currency, the assayer Of the New York as
say office and such other persons as the
president may designate. A majority OF
the persons constitute "A competent board,
and the examination is made in the presence
of the director of the mint.
The coins thus reserved for trial are
made up from those selected from each de
livery made by the chief coiner deposited
in the "pyx" and kept under the joint care
OF the superintendent of the mint and the
chief assayer, each of whom has his sepa-
rate lock and key.

ONE of the best annexation
speeches ever made here was de-
livered by VIM. X. Castle at the
memorable Drill Shed mass meeting
in November, 1898. 1t was re-
plete with patriotic utterance and
strong and forceful in defense OF
the Provisional Government. 1t
had an American tone and was ap-
plauded at home and commended
abroad. In the course of that ad-
dress Mr.. Castle gave voice to
direct and unequivocal criticism OF
Commissioner Blount, Secretary
Gresham and President Cleveland,
reserving only the assumption that
the executive at Washing
ton and his cabinet officers
had been misinformed as to the
situation here. The ndePendeRf, a
city paper which hates the govern
ment and holds negative views on
annexation, hunts out and prints
this speech with the suggestion
that it incapacitates Mr.. Castle for
the post OF Hawaiian Minister to
Washington. The supporters of
the Republic and advocates OF
"closer political union" cannot but
continue to uphold the sentiments
expressed by Mr.. Castle at that
time. Whatever objections may be
advanced against him as minister,
are on entirely different grounds.
Mr.. Castle then held that the Presi-
dent of the United States had no
right to begin war and that
this proposition to restore the
queen to the throne Of Hawaii, II
carried out, will be an act of war. y
That is as true today as when the
words touched a responsive chord
in the breasts of the men still
united in common purpose. After
describing fairly and completely
the attitude Of President Cleve-
land, Mr.. Castle said; Then
let us stand firm in
our right and if such a step is
taken let him be impeached before
the Senate of his country" In the
Lndtbendens sent on to Washington
this sentence will probably be I'M
derlined. 1t was declaration in
accord with the occasion and one
which we do not think will now be
considered by Mr.. Cleveland as an
objection to Mr.. Castle.

WAS A BIG DAY.

The 1905 Kamehameha day ceie'
nra,;o, was one Of the most genef-
al and successful for years. Every
bodv seemed thoroughly imoued
with the gala spirit. Dull care and
ordinary worry took fight and JOY
was uuconfned from Hawai- to
N;;hau Here in Honolulu no one
gave a thought to either business
or no tics. The event of the day
was the race meeting at Kapiolani
PARK under the auspices OF the
Hawaiian Jockey Club. FOR
this there was perfect
weather, excellent management
and not a single suspicion of any
thing but honest racing. The at
tendance outnumbered anything
expected and the spectators were
very well behaved. Great praise
;s due all the officers of the club,
and especially Secretary > u
Wilder.
About 1900 people entered the
oates of the Punahou campus
where the annual picnic OF the Cen
trail Union Sunday School wa
given. This was an exceeding
" pleasant affair, conducted
solely with the view o
entertaining all who cared to ac
cept the generous hospitality AM
cordial welcome OF the managers
The Salvation Army corps an
friends had a restful day at Re
mond Grove and the Oahu railwa
carried quite a number OF visitor
to the Peninsula and Eva planti
ton.
There were numerous luaus an

parties.

charge of the management of the af-

SECURES A NEW LODGE.

Princeton Is Honored By the Establish
ment of an I. o. O. +. mpment.
For some weeks past negotiations
have been pending between the I. O.
OF. of this place and the same at
Monticello, for the removal of Hebron
Encampment to Princeton. Through
the proper channels, the change was
made and Friday July 18th fixed as the
date for the transfer. On the above
date the paraphernalia and other trap
pings incidental to the work, were
brought by team from Monticello.
Quite a number of prominent Odd Fell
lows came from Monticello, among
them being C. A. French, E. B. Nc
Cord, Fl. Pennington, Chas. Mertz,
W. J. Thompson, DR.. Lynch, F.
Brown, sheriff of Sherburne county,
and others whose names escaped the
reporter. A large delegation came up
from Minneapolis and St. Paul, includ-
ing Grand Chief Patriarch W. G. Nye,
Grand Scribe Ferree, c. H. Nero, and
others prominent in the order. Eigh-
teen candidates we're in waiting for
the mysteries of the degrees. After
the exemplifcation of the work supper
was served in the G.. A. r. hall. It
was all that could be asked for, and
thoroughly enjoyed by the numerous
guests: The officers of the encamp-
ment until the end of the present year

ton, S. W.; B. NJ. VanAlstein, J. W.;
G. Ewing, Scribe. The present men,

the treasury. Princeton, within two
years, has attained a high distinction
in the State, in the Independent Order
OF Odd Fellows, ranking second to none
in numbers among the small towns and

years last Wednesday night. Two
years ago a suspicious fire robbed them
Of SAC, 1000 worth of lumber and the last
fire laid their mill and machine shop
in ashes. The Anoka Herald tells the
story of the fire thus:
Shortly after 10 O'clock a man, whose
name cannot be learned as he was a
stranger in the city and left on the
12:42 train, was crossing the Great
Northern railroad bridge, when he
saw light in the northeast corner of
the mill which he took to be a lantern.

afre and second look at the first
light convinced him that the fire had
been set in two places at almost the
same time. An alarm was i'm
mediately turned in but the building
was SO dry that it burned like finder,
and, although the .fremen were on
hand in a very short time, nothing
could be done to stay the fury of the
flames and in half an hour after the
fire was discovered their work was
done.
The slabs and other wood piled on
the adjacent lots we're saved from
destruction by the good work of the
men, however. ...
During the progress of the fire a ter
rife explosion occurred which shook
the ground and threw pieces OF metal
as far as the Pleasant street bridge.
1t is thought to have been the break
ing of some part OF the steam carriage
propelling apparatus under the undue
pressure caused by the excessive heat.
The loss upon the mill and machine
shop, which was almost part of the
mill building, is estimated at from
S15,0 1000 to $4,000, with an insurance Of
about 50, 800.
The, insurance was all in Lloyd com.
panies in Minneapolis. -
That the fire was incendiary there is

culprit or culprits is so strong that

A SUNDAY I. ACCIDENT !!
Little Arthur Hill Died From In
juries Received by Falling
Into an Open Well.
He Lived Ten Hours, But His
Skull Was Crushed and
Death Relieved Him.

q. very sad accident occurred last
Sunday afternoon at the residence Of
J. g. Varney on the North side which
resulted in the death of little Arthur
Hill.
Arthur and his playmate, Clarence
Hatch Hate were playing about the we'll
throwing waiter on each other: A
fresh bucket full had been drawn and
was5setting on the curb. In getting a
fresh supply the bucket swung off over
theYwell and took the little fellow with
it, he having been caught in some in
expiicable manner The weight was
toomuch for the well fixtures and the
hook in the frame broke precipitating
theslad thirty-fve feet to the bottom
OF the well. The rope wheel struck
him on the head crushing the skull
justsback Of the ear so that the brains
oezed out. Death was not instantan-
eous for he was found to be alive when
taken out fifteen minutes later and
lived from l:30 to 1870 Sunday night.
The funeral occurred Tuesday.
Arthur r. Hill was the son of Abbie
My arney and was living with his
grandfather, J. G. Varney, when the
unfortunate accident occurred. He
was onlyten years old and a bright,
active little fellow. His mother has
the heartfelt sympathy of the whole
community in her sad bereavement.
