NOT CHOLERA GERMS.
A Hawaiian Treasured az to Some Roots
He Saw In His Poi.

saw
An incident is told by ladies who deal
out rations to needy natives at the central
depot of the Hawaiian Relief society about
an aged native and his allowance Of poi.
"Poi for six, " cried out one of the ladies
as she handed rusty cid bucket to one Of
the native attendants
"Poi for six" cried the attendant as ne
returned the bucket filed with the sub
stance.
The native received his allowance and
started to walk away when something in
the bucket seemed to have the effect of
hypnotizing him. His eyes started from
their sockets and the cold beads of per-
spiration on his forehead indicated fear of
some kind.
Returning the bucket to the lady at the
window, he pointed 20 some yellow specks
in the poi, well distributed throughout the
whole mass "Ho kumu kolcra kelan
Chose are cholera germs), said the native
who had evidently not been educated in
the science of bacterology
The lady tried to explain that the vel.
low spcrks were the roots of the taro,
which sometimes get intD the poi when
the tuhcrs are too closely scraped. This
was beyond the comprehension of the
man, and the lady was about ready to give
up when young native stepped forth,
and tapping his fellow countryman on the
shoulder launched forth in the following
scientific explanation;
IAN the poi in this place has been cook
ed If those are germs, they are dead ones,
for the doctors tell us cooking will kill
germs. Now, then, you will have no
trouble after eating that poi.
"Oh, all right" said the native, and
taking the bucket once more from the
lady he walked away perfectly satisfied.
A matter of considerable interest, though
not generally known, comes up in cOnncc
ton with this story. A great many ma
tivcs are of the opinion that the germs Of
cholera can be seen with the naked eye
They catch fish, and if they see nothing
suspicious, use them as food without fur
ther thought about the matter.-PacifC

BROKERS SANG 'AMERICA.
Christian Endeavorers Hold Meetings
Nearly Everywhere.

Boston, July 11.--Just after the big
convention meeting, hundreds of the dele
gates held noon-day rallies throughout
the city. In the churches and halls. in
vacant lots, on street corners and wharves,
In the big markerts and in factories and
in missions and the large retail stores,
they gathered and offered prayer for the
benefit OF the thousands OF toilers who
heard them.
The largest of these meetings was held
in historic Faneuil and in the Bormfield
Street Methodist Episcopal Church. In
the hall several hundred white frocked
market men joined Justify in the familiar
hymns sung by the young ladies of the
chorus. The services there were led by
Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman, ID d., of Al
bany, n. Y. The Bromfield street church
is in the center of the retail business dis
trict and the services were SO well at
ing" in the vestry was necessary. Rev.
Francis Smiley of Denver, Col. i,
presided at the main meeting, and Rev.
Seth X. Mitchell of Cambridge, Mass,
led the smaller gatherings.
Along the wharves much interest in the
meetings was manifested, and I'm the
stores and factories the same kindly feel
ing and appreciation was shown.
The visit of a party Of sightseeing
delegates to the stock market gave rise
to a pleasant incident. About noon, 20
ladies and gentlemen wearing the badges
of the society entered the gallery. The
traders at once abandoned business, and
facing the gallery, with uncovered heads
earnestly sang "America. The dele
gates responded appropriately, and COM
mittee of brokers was at once appointed
to purchase n quantity OF Christian En-
deayor flags for decorative purposes.

The large stocks OF low-priced wool, so
conspicuous few weeks since, have all
been absorbed in the manufactured
article, and the stock now being onered
Is that on which the advance In price has
been attached; but a large amount OF
both foreign and domestic fleece Is ex-
pected to be soon placed upon the market
TO fill tho existing vacuum.
The higher prices for raw material have
had their influence on manufactured
goods; the advance in overcoatings and
dress goods testify to this fact: New
York reports show less speculative fea-
ture in transactions than was noticed a
week earlier, although a few large sales
are reported which SAVIOR somewhat OF
this character.
The total sales in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago aggregate 13,
pounds; Boston, 7,777, 800 pounds; Phiia-
delphia, 2,235, 600 pounds, and Chicago,
650 900 pounds.
NEW YORK.
The aggregate sales are less than a week
previous, doubtless due TO hesitancy on
the part OF buyers in anticipation OF ad-
verse reports from London sales and the
suspension OF business the Fourth OF
July.
The market is still firm, with undoubted
tendency toward appreciation in values.
BOeIONs
The market here shows undiminished
strength and steadiness, sales, however,
being under the aggregate OF a week ago
priced stocks have been cleaned up
by large sales during the past month, and
woods now offered are such as paid the re-
cent advance.
PHILADELPHIA.
Some few lines OF wool are held at
higher prices than a week ago, dealers ex-
hibiting some independence, feeling that
values will enhance.
CHICAGO.
The receipts of wool have increased
greatly over last weeks report, shipments
being correspondingly heavier.
COTTON.
Liverpool Cotton futures 2 to 2l2 de-
cline; spot sales, 5000 bales.

MEANT FOR CARNEY.

About 2 o'clock this afternoon, John
Carney, a hawker, was poking fun at an
old Italian, who was picking over the re-
fuse i'm a barrel in front of William :.
Sweet & Sons produce store on Canal
street. Thescld woman lost her temper,
and picked up paving stone and hit
Louis Loomas on the right side of the
head, cutting cash that necessitated a
number of stitches. The woman did not
know just who was TO blame, and appar-
emily did not care, but Mr.. Loomas being
the nearest got what was meant for
Carney.
