Hotel Life in the Azores.

A traveller writing from Fayal, In
the Azores, comments on the methods
of hotel life there. Board at the best
hotel Is 1000 reis, or 81 of our money,
a day. 1.-TWO men brought our trunks
a distance of half mile and up pair
of stairs for $50 reis, or % cents. One
man carried my large trunk on one
shoulder and in the other hand my two
bags. The other carried the steamer
trunks, steamer chair. and shawls,
and the two thus burdened kept up a
dog-trot till our rooms were reached.
The hotel keeps plate of oranges In
the room constantly, and eat about n
dozen a day. They are small, almost
seedless, very juicy and delicious. We
feast, too, on bananas, guavas, Gus.
tard-apples. and dates. For cent you
may buy more plums than can be man.

He Recefvesa Reward of 5000 Francs
from a Chicago Lady for Honesty.
A rich Chicago lady in Paris, so runs
the story in French exchange, took
n few weeks ago cab to one Of the
largest dry goods stores in that city.
She alighted, paid the cab driver his
Care. She had scarcely entered the
store when she discovered that she had
left her shopping bug,. containing 5000
flames In cuxrency,. two very valuable
black pearls and a. couple Of diamond
rings in the cab
Her friends advised her to ut once
notify the police. but she did not think
1t worth while: Finally, however, she
decided to do So. but did 1T more to
please her friends thar with any idea
of ever hearing of her money and
jewels again. Imagine her amaZement
and delight when she was, informed by
police commissioner that her bag and
contents had been left by the cabman
In care Of the police. She asked the
police commissioner to- send the honest
driver to her hotek He came, and the
first thing she asked him was il he had
any children.
"Yes, five Of Them"
"Well, keep the 5000 francs,- said
the fair American, ut will be 1000
francs for each child! IT was the jew
els that 1 particularly wished to re-
cover, and cannot enough reward the
one who ias brpughtttem bank to me :"
The cab driver was almost too happy
to find words to express. his, gratitude.
'Well, what do you expect to do with
your money!" asked the lady.
II have always, worked for others"
replied the cabman; NOW I expect to
get my own rig and start In business
for myself

A few days after the cabman appear
ed with very Stylish brand-new rig.
His "Chicago proteotress," as he called
the American lady, made him esrfve her
around the. city for two hours, for
which she paid him so francs.
Her friends demonstrated with her
for doing too much for the man.
"Let me do as, phase" she replied.
"Had lost my bag in America should
never have seen the shadow Of It again.

The modern Orchestra leader.

The modern orchestra has been con-
verted into a great. composite musical
instrument, on which the conductor
actually plays; and the specific skill he
has developed of playing on this instru-
ment Is an exact counterpart Of what
we cali virtuosity I'm the individual per-
former. A generation of "virtuosi OF
tile orchestra has sprung up, exercis-
ing the same fascination over the great
crowd of music lovers that other vir-
tuosi have time out Of mind.
The orchestral conductor is fast be-
coming the synosure In the musical
armament, with the pole star Of safety
or shipwreck beaming mt his baton's
tip. Lightly warbling soprani, tcnors
storming the Jericho of the peoples
heart with miraculous sound" and
sonorous bassos of Bashan will have to
look to their laurels; some fine day they
may find them encircllng the conduc-
tors Olympian brow.
In word, the modern conductor Is
essentially a performer; and, whether
he be poplar favorite by reason Of his
virtuousity or of the scope modern
musical performance gives to the ar
tistic initiative of oil performers, his
vlrtuosity per Sc is unquestIonably the
element by which he most gains his
ascendency over the public.--scribner

corporal posts and relieves sentinels
and instructs them as to their or
ders and duties. No one should be
allowed to pass except by proper
authority, and no member shall
make known the countersign, ex-
cept to those authorized to use it.
Indigcriminate firing must be
avoided, and no sentinel should
open fire until fully satisfied that
such necessity exists. In posting
sentinels, they should be so posted
that communication could be read
lily made if necessary, and each SEN
tinel should remember the general
direction of the others, so as to avoid
endangering their lives, by firing in
their direction. Any sentinel who
wanders from his post, necessarily
does 80 at his own risk. Target
practice should be provided for as
frequently as possible. No person
can be enrolled as a member of this
organization, who has not taken the
oath of support to the Republic of
Hawaii. The arms and equipment
being government property, the
members are responsible for their
care and preservation, and the COM
pany officers should provide from

Members of the Guard are required

their commanding officer or failing
to do 90, state the reason therefor,

CHINA-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.

tween China and Japan, with pro-
Viso to allow Corea also to join and
enjoy the benefits of the said alli-
ance, has also been arranged be-
tween the respective Plenepoten-
tiaries of China and Japan, to take
effect Immediately after ratification
of the first named treaty but this
treaty of alliance is supposed to be
a secret one, the terms of which
are to be kept from the knowledge
of the outer world. China, more
over, engages by this treaty to en-
ploy large force of drill instruct
ors from Japan for the Chinese
land forces, and even undertakes,
when necessary, to entrust her navy
to the command of Japanese naval
officers. In this treaty, also, China
promises to reform certain parts of
her civil, military and naval ad-
ministration upon japanese lines,
it being specially impressed upon
China that unless radical change
be adopted by them China can
never hope to contend successfully
against foreign powers in the
future"

One of the innovations of the
new head of the military forces has
been the removal of the large can
non from the conspicuous position
in front of the Executive building.
This is done in furtherance of the
principle established by Colonel
Mclean that the attitude of the mill
itary forces of the Republic is
offensive rather than defensive.
When resistance is offered the
military will go out to meet it
rather than wait for an attack.
The new arrangement relieves the
Government grounds of much of its
former martial appearance.
