An Interesting Announcement for our


We have secured for the exclusive use
of THE RECORD series of articles on the
Sandwich Islands by the distinguished
historian and novelist JOHN R. MUsIoK.
These articles are being prepared by the
author on the spot. He is now at Homo
lulu, and will visit each of the islands OF
the Hawaiian group. They will have the
peculiar living freshness that can only be
given to such When written at the place
on the very days the writer beholds them.
They will be series of descriptive and
historical articles, or letters, about that
country. Mr.. Musick will furnish us
therefore articles rich in descriptive seem
cry, filed with authentic history and
facts, and lightened by incidents of travel
aud adventure, making them more fasci-
mating than novel.
No portion of the world is to-day at
tracing more attention than the Sand
wich Islands; aud yet, much as they are
talked about aud much as they have been
mixed in American politics for the last
forty years, the masses of readers know
but little of the social life and customs of
the Islanders, and could not tell off-hand
whether they lived in modern houses, in
huts. wigwams or caves.
1t will be the object of these letters not
only 10 briefly sketch the past aud present
OF the Hawaiian Islands, but TO carry the
reader directly into the private life of the
people who inhabit them; their past and
present government, the overthrow OF
monarchy, and the setting up of Repub-
lie will be narrated from a non political
standpoint. In this respect they will have
peculiar interest because in The coming
Presidential contest the question of an
nexalion will be agitated. These letters
will contain hundreds of items of great
interest, all told in highly entertaining,
instructive, and unbiased manner. In
short, we have rich treat for our readers
for the entire winter.
We urge you 10 get your neighbors and
friends elsewhere to subscribe for Thu
RECORD The articles alone will be worth
much more than the subscription price OF
this paper. Then always remember these
letters are exclusive no other paper in
this vicinity can furnish them. They are
for THE RKooRd.

A PIana for @4OtII

Chicago's most prominent music house,
Lyon Il Healy, have number of slightly
used and secondhand pianos, taken in
trade, used in concerts and in fact not
brand-new instruments, which they have
determined TO sacrifice rather than to try
to make room for. These instruments
comprise Square pianos at $40, sos, 800,
800 and $l95. Upright pianos at 1928,
$40, $3.50, $l65, $3.50, 5000, 1925, $24o
and upward. Grand pianos at 5000, $3.50,
$500 and upward. Nearly all originally
sold for from two to four times their pre-
sent price. Almost all prominent makes
Gin squares and uprights) are represented,
including among numerous others Chick
eriug, Knabe, Steinway, Weber, Decker,
Steck, Fischer, etc. This is an oppor.
tunity that will not occur again, as Lyon
g. Healy never had so many pianos Of this
class before. Immediate attention is nee
essafy. A good plan would be to order
a piano, leaving the selection to Lyon &
Healy. However, they will send list
and full particulars upon application.
Any piano not proving satisfactory may
be returned at their expense. Address
at their new salesrooms, corner Wabash
Avenue and Adams Street, Chicago. Dis
lance is no obstacle in taking advantage
of this remarkable chance to obtain a
piano, for in proportion 10 the saving to
be made, the freight charges are insgnifi
cant. If you do not already know them
by reputation, any banker will assure you
of Lyon & Healy's entire responsibility
and record of over a third Of a century
for honorable dealing Write to-day so
as to avoid disappointment.

AT the special December term of court
for the trial of criminal cases, at Doyles-
town, last week, Jacob Lacey, of New
Hope, pleaded guilty to the larceny of
flowers from Reeder's greenhouse in New
Hope, aud was sentenced 10 nine months
in the county Jail at labor. Lacey asked
the Court to change his sentence, as he
would rather go to the penitentiary for a
year, as he didn't get enough TO eat at the
jail. The Court stated this was serious
charge TO make and asked Jailer Kitchener
for an explanation. That official stated
he considered Lacey chronic kicker.
He never got enough to eat, although he
got more than any man who was break
ing stone, while he lay in his cell doing
nothing. He also complained that bis
cell was cold, although he sat there with
out coat or vest, and the other prisoners
hadttheir skylights up Lacey said the
bread was 50 thin that prisoner could
read a newspaper through it. 1t seemed
that some of the prisoners had signed a
paper to the effect that they did not re-
ceive enough to eat, which was handed
to the Court. Torbett Ganges was one OF
the signers. When questioned he said
that sometimes he got enough bread and
sometimes he didn't. He thought it was
very thin. The Court did not consider 1t
safe for Lacey to select his own place OF
confinement and the sentence was not
changed. The Court remarked that crimi
nails are not to be sent to fashionable ho-
tells to live on the fat of the land. The
prison was not intended for a place OF
luxury aud pleasure.

For THE RECORD.

For THE RECORD.
On Thursday afternoon OF last week
the house on the George s. Holcombe
farm, near Lambertville, caught fire from
a defective fue and was totally destroyed,
together with nearly all the household
goods Of Willis Wall, who occupied the
house as farmer for Mr.. Holcombe. Mr..
Wall is a poor man and depends on the
labor of his hands to support wife and
four small children and who can depict
the feelings Of Mr.. Hall aud wife as they
saw the goods burned that they had la
bored so patiently to accumulate, piece
by piece, as their limited means would
allow2 Many of the articles doubtless
had history and reminded the "gude
wife " of some sacrifice which was made
in order TO obtain them, and probably
never again will she have the same alice
ton for her ssessions-though they may
be much more valuabe--that she had for
the first goods. Mr.. and Mrs. Wall have
the sympathy of their neighbors and
doubtless helping hand will be extended
to them.
There is one thing, however, Of which
they should feel proud, and that is the
heroism displayed by their little seven
year. old daughter Louisa. When the fire
broke out Mr.. and Mrs. Wall were at the
barn threshing. The children were up
stairs playing, when the fire broke through
the partition into the room which they oc-
cupied. Instead OF screaming as most
children would have done under like cir
cumstances, she quietly carried the baby
and guided the other children down stairs,
seizing couple of little dresses as she
went. When down stairs she cent the
largest girl to give the alarm. After
placing the two small children at a safe
distance she tried TO put out the fire with
water, but finding that her efforts were oil
no avail she desisted and set about getting
out some of the gooda, and by the time
help arrived she mad got out tue oapy
coach, cradle, one table and the baby
chair. BY this time the heat became SO
intense and the smoke 80 dense that she
was forced to desist.
There are many women of mature age
who would, under like circumstances, have
gone into Mysteries, and instead Of render
ing any assistance would have been him
drance to others.
The writer of this item has presented
this little woman with new gown. Who
says another, or any other article OF cloth
ing that will help to place her wardrobe
in better shape than 1t was before the
fire2 HARTwELL.

A heavy piece OF metal rod on an en-
CINE running between Calfon and Middle
Valley broke the other day. Thomas
Beam, who was standing beside the track
waiting for the train to pass, was struck
by the flying metal and Knocked down.
He was soon able to arise again, however,
when it was discovered that the piece OF
iron had struck his watch, which proba-
bly, saved his life. The watch, which was
a heavy one, was bent and twisted out OF
shape, and hole was cut through his
coat and vest where the piece of iron
struck him.

The Hunterdon Democrat speaks OF
a fraud in the shape of woman who Wis.,
tied Flemingtoh On Tuesday, and by her
weil-worded aud touching appeals, sue
ceeded 10 relieving several of the citizens
of that place of quite nice sum of mon
ey. Her story was that she was in search
of her husband, whom she said had de-
serted her in Trenton u few weeks ago
with five children to look after. OF
course her search throughout the town
for her deserted husband was OF no avail,
as she knew il would be, but she succeed
ed, however, 10 collecting a goodly sum
of money, which was her only purpose.
The country is full of just such frauds,
and the sooner the people realize this fact
the better it will be for their pocket books.
