II the following paragraph from
San Francisco paper is correct, it
seems that the doctor Of the Olym-
pia is the "boss of that cruiser" The
surgeon Of the Olympia knows his
duty and is not afraid to hew to the
line. The cruiser is or was anchored
off one of the Hawaiian Islands and
out Of touch with Honolulu, The
surgeon advised this isolation be-
cause OF the cholera on shore. One
day the captain notified the surgeon
that be thought of going ashore
and asked his Endorsement as medi-
cal officer. The surgeon promptly
replied that if the captain went
ashore he would report him to the
department and the captain was
forced to change his mind. There
is vague suspicion that the captain
had an idea that the cholera would
respect his rank. We believe that
our exchange is telling the truth
because loud complaints were utter
ed in Honolulu by Ulcers and men
against the medicine man OF the
ship.

Says the Advertiser: "a large
publishing house in New York has
requested W. N. Armstrong to write
"a strictly impartial history OF Ha-
waiian affairs, so that many people,
including public men, who have no
time to sift the truth out OF the con-
flicting statements made regarding
recent events, may be led to accept
it without hesitation A more Her
culean task was never assigned to
Greecian god. One might as we'll re-
quest person to write treatise
proving black to be white so that
many people, including public
men, may be led to accept it with
out hesitation, as to ask him to
write history OF recent Hawaiian
events that will not be refuted with
as many more conflicting statements
as have already been published"
Why the Advertiser has such
down on poor w. N as to compare
him to "a Greecian god" we don't
know. Ii he resembles one, our
ideas OF heather mythology must
undergo considerable transforms
ton. r ancy Zens, Neptune, Mars
or even Hermes going round with
moustache, umbrella, and pince-
nee, and writing articles on the
forthcoming Asiatic invasion, or ad-
vocating "small farmers" from Ame-
RIGA. Shades OF Homer and Hesiod!
The whole circle of Olympus must
feel 6attered at the position assigned
by the Advertiser to w. N. AS to
the Advertisers conclusion that
zone might as we'll ask person to
write treatise proving black to be
white" "as to ask him to write a
history of recent Hawaiian events
that will not be refuted," we must
say we entirely agree.

THEFINE ARTS
By W. E. CHANCELLOR

8ooooooooooo 90 oooooooooo6
One incident in the great reform in
education is the elevation OF the fine
arts to their rightful place. The old
Greeks classed all their exercises under
the two heads Of music and gymnastics;
music included the subjects Of the
mind. gymnastics included the training
OF the body. Music as the special art
was studied az q means Of expressing
the emotions Of the soul. The fine arts
were not included as essentials. The
education thus provided msde the upper
class Greeks. who alone took part in the
wonderful Greek civilization, in many
ways the cleverest, most cultured
people the world has ever known. But
even the Greeks failed substantially in
the work OF education, for they failed OF
universal education and they failed Of
useful education.

brought back many Of the Greek ideals.
But the monkish influence was 90 strong
that even the subordinate place the
Greeks gave the fine arts was denied.
drawing. sculpture and painting by the
light bearers OF modern life. Not until
to-day has the real value OF art been
understood. Not until now has art
been made the instrument it so per-
fsctly 10 for the unfolding of the mind.
The leaders Of the new movement,
whose aims are utility, universally,
beauty and substantially. have seen
that there are four means of educating
and that only two Of them have been so
recognized since the history Of civil
ization began. These four means are
Letters. Mathematics, Science and Art.
The former two dominate the schools,
the third has only recently been dream
ed Of, the last has been stupidity neg
lected.
In one Of DR.. John Browns exquisite
lylucid essays he says: Art FORCES the
mind. Science furnishes it." His
phrases admirably contrast the value of
art and science. With the latter we
need not concern ourselves here. But
with the at that at once "forges" and
forms the mind, develops and refines it,
gives it power, taste and elegance and
at the same time cultivates, educates
and trains the body we do need to
concern ourselves. The value of art is
in two directions; and both are of such
importance as to warrant the prop
osition that in the American education
it should have and will have equal
place with Letters, Mathematics and
Science.
Physilogically the exercise Of any art
requires the use of greater variety of
powers than does an exercise of any
other educational form. The child who
is asked to draw q cat must perform
several organic operations, mental, SEN
sational and manual. He must first
remember the form of cat and choose
IN which position to represent it.
Second he must carry the picture out
OF his memory into the real world,
putting it on paper or blackboard.
Third his mind is Of such construction
that the next time he sees a cat his
sensations will be far more active in
perceiving it. This process has called

To Get Electric Power From the Dams

Powell Evans, representing Phil
adelphia syndicate, was before the
commissioners of Washington county
Tuesday and the city council Of Hagers-
town the same night and asked per-
mission to erect poles and string wires
along the roads Of the county and the
streets of HagerStown for the purpose
of conducting and supplying electrical
power for all purposes, the power to be
obtained from dam No. 4 or dam No.
5, on the Potomac river, about twelve
miles from Hagerstown in direct line.
Mr.. Evans says the power at dam No.
5, where there is heavy fall, is equal
to 5000 horsepower. He has cam
vassed among the principal manufacto-
ries of Hagerstown and says manu-
facturers will take power to the amount
of l 500 horsepower. He claims elect
rical power, as his company will fur
nish it, will be about one-third to one
half cheaper than steam power. 1t Is
estimated that such a plant would cost
about $4,000. A street railway for
Hagerstown, with extensions to Will
Transport and Funkstown and other
places, if desired, is contemplated in
the project, Franchises were granted
by the city council at various times
in the last couple of years, but these
have all expired and the field is open.

EVERY now and then some New
England G. A. R. man thinks it alb
solutely necessary to make spectacle
of himself in order to keep up the war
feeling. Joseph Thayer, department
commander of the G. A. r. of Massa-
chusetts, is frothing at the mouth be-
cause monument is to be dedicated
at Chicago to the Confederate dead.
He issues long screed to his fellow
patriots-or, as Col. Waring calls
them, bummers-ln which he says the
erection of the monument was an out
rage, its dedication is an insult and
the whole business blasphemous. He
calls wildly for a prevention of the
proposed Dissertation" In striking
contrast to the howl of this narrow
minded Yankee is an address made by
General Rollins, of the Colorado G. A.
R., a few nights ago. He advocated
the establishment of home in the
South somewhere for the care of indi-
gent old Confederate soldiers, whom
he honors as a brave and manly enemy
during the war and fellow Americans
now. He wants to help provide fol
their needs in their old days. What

ANYONE who fondly suppoSes that
Mr.. Elkins favors free coinage IN the
interest of the mass of the people will
find himself sadly deluded. In his
latest utterancs on the subject, at Lead
vile last week, he said Colorado has
more to say in settling this matter
than any other State" Why? Be-
cause she has more farmers whose
wheat has fallen in value with the
fall in silver? Because she has more
debtors whose burdens have been in
creased by the gold standard? Be-
cause silver is the money of the con-
stitution, the peoples money? No !
Because, he says, Colorado is one
Of the largest producers Of slIver +
When it is understood that Mr.. Elklns
and the Republican party favor free
coinag. because it is in line with the
protective policy and will benefit the
mine-owners at the expense of other
people, their voices will cease to charm
silver Democrats. For ourselves, We
cannot but admire Mr.. Elkins for dis
daining the balderdash INDUCED in by
most Of the silverites, and saying hon
estly that he favors free coinage "for
what there is in it for the silver pro-
ducers. His views are logical and his
utterance frank. 1t would be unnec-
essary-to say the least of ito make
the same remark as to his colleague.

A Whirlwind of Death.

Fifteen killed and forty injured IS
the record of frightful cyclone that
swept over Northwest Iowa last Friday
night. The town of Sioux Centre
seems to have been the eliminating
point of the tornado, where many
houses were demolished and ten per-
sons killed. The towns of Sioux Cen
tire, Ireton, Orange City, Perkins, Dion,
Hull, Sheldon, Alton, Ashton, Sibley
and Lemars were directly in the path
of the cyclone. Two schOolhouses and
many dwellings and other buildings
are known to have been demolished.
Some of the children in the wrecked
schoolhouses were carried from quar-
ter to half mile before they alighted.
The path of the storm is almost as
clearly cut as wagon road, and every
thing in its path was demolished.
Barns, houses and trees were strewed
over the country for miles.
About thirty farmhouses were
wrecked. The property loss VIII De
heavy. Much live stock was killed,
the prairie being strewn with the car
cases of horses and cattle. In the
territory passed by the storm were a
large number of farms sowed with
wheat and oats. The loss to this grow
ing grain will be considerable. In
some places the ground is swept bare.
Over all is a thick plaster of mud.
Where this black mud has been thrown
against the sides of buildings the warm
sun completely baked it, and great
LAYERS on trees four inches thick could
be knocked off. This mud was swept
along over the fields of oats and wheat
and literally carpeted the ground.
strewn on top of this hard, smooth
surface were pieces Of timber, house
hold furniture, farm machinery and
dead and dying animals.
John Roster, who lost his wife and
little girl, lives four miles southwest
of Sioux Centre. His home was COM
pletely swept away. Mrs. Roster was
in the house and one of the men about
the place saw the storm approaching:
He said there were two funnel-shaped
clouds visible. Just as he reached the
door the wind caught the dwelling and
whirled it to pieces. Mrs. Roster had
both legs broken. The little daughter
Alice, aged eight, was attending the
Haggie school, about half a mile east
of the house. She was picked up IN
field 100 yards from the site of the
building. Her legs were broken and
the bones protruded in a trightful
manner. She was carried to the home
of her uncle, three miles southwest,
where she died in great agony. Mr..
Rosters hogs were blown on to a hill
700 yards distant, where they lay
tretched out dead. The barn was
sfted a qua rter of mile.

At New Boston, Ohio, on Saturday
last the sun was shining brightly with
no indication of rain, when suddenly
a cloud descended. 1t became more
dense and black as it came towards
earth and suddenly, just as it seemed
to almost touch the tree tops, it burst
and torrents of water flooded the vii
lage. Every trace of the storm save
the gulleys washed by the water was
dissipated in five minutes and the en-
tire progress of the phenomenon did
not cover more than haitian hour. The
space covered by the cloudburst was
not more than quarter of a mile IL
diameter.
