AMBITIOUS HERMAN KoHLsAAT.
His Career as Cashboy, Baker, millionaire
and Great Newspaper Owner.

Herman II. Kohlsaat, the brainy young
ChicagOan who recently paid nearly 81

Chicago Times-Hcrald and Evening Pos,
was working for 81 "a week during the

GUS factors in making him the successful
business man that he is today. The books
OF his firm were in the path of the flames
and if they were destroyed the firm would
be ruined. Finding himself unable to hire
or even buy a horse Kohlsaat ran down a
street until he finally came across a horse
and buggy hitched in front Of house.
Without inquiring who the owner was or
asking for his consent Kohlsaat Temporal
rily stole the team, returned to the store as
fast as the horse could trot and saved the
books. The horse was afterward returned
to his owner.
Kohlsaat was born in Edwards county,
Ills, March %, 1853. His father was a
German, and his mother was English.

A GRAND SUCCESS.
Leilani Dance at Independence
Park Pavilion Last Night.

The Leilani Boat Club surpassed
all previous records in the enter
tainment line at their dance given
In Independence Park pavilion
last night. The occasion was an
exceptionally brilliant one, some
three hundred of Honolulu's society
people being present to enjoy the
evening.
The hall was decorated with
black and gold bunting-colors of
the club-while flowers of the
same hues were strewn around in
different places, making a very
pretty effect. The indispensable
palms and ferns were placed in
artistic positions.
The Hawaiian Club furnished
music for delightful program of
fourteen dances. After every third
dance native song was interposed
to allow the participants a few
moments rest.
The program began with a set of
lancers, followed by a waltz and
deux temps. After the first song
there was another set of lancers,
followed by a waltz and deux
temps. With the exception of one
schottische, the remainder of the
nroOran WAS oiven nm IN waltZas
and deux temps, favorites of Homo
lulu dancers.
Supper was served in the hall
during the evening.
The following ladies acted as
patronesses: Mrs. Neumann, Mrs.
Fowler, Mrs. Graham and Mrs.
Fred Macfarlane.
The Leilani Club is to be con-
graduated on the success of the oc-
casion both socially and finan-
cially.

"WHo ever heard of bond be-
ing issued that didn't bear inter-
est?" was the question put to his
audience by John Sherman in one
of his speeches in Ohio last week in
referring to Coxey's plan. To full
ly grasp the ridiculous absurdity of
such a proposition as viewed by old
John it would have been necessary
for you to have been present and
gazed upon his attenuated form,
his hard cold features void of every
expression of sympathy, with the
characteristics of Shylock stamped
in every lineament. To man who
is as cold as a snake, who sweats
ice when the thermometer stands
at 100 in the shade, a non-interest
bond is incomprehensible. 1t is
expected that every blood-sucking
coupon clipping leech in the coun-
try will vigorously oppose Mr.. Cox
ey's Non-Interest Bond bill, but the
great common people are readily
grasping the idea that this measure
when enacted into law will speedily
bring relief to the country, stimu-
late the industries, and give en-
ployment to our millions of men in
enforced idleness. Coreys Paper.

THE elections in the eastern and
southern States have been regular
landslides for the Republican party.
But little else was looked for except
in Kentucky. where it was believed
Hardin, the silver man. would win.
1t has been demonstrated, however
that the gold men are strong enough
to break the solid South rather than
elect man who is opposed to their
doctrine 1t is sad state of affairs,
but the people have no one to blame
so long as they vote to keep the
shylocks in power In Sacramento
the A. p A. candidates cleaned up
the important offices, with the Gov
ernor at the head, This is good
work, and it is to be hoped the
Americans will have strength
enough next year to clean up the
whole country.

WILL m BE WAR.

Senator Chandler, of Newhamp-
e, publishes the following pre-
on under the heading "Our
ng war with England Pre-
pm" Those who read and
TX will readily understand that
Ia a prediction as the Senator
hkes is not at all unlikely to
bme true, and the preparations
England is making for it are in
|dicated by her impoverishing this
country by cutting off its money
supply. When we can't pay even
the inteaest on our bonds then look
out for a ruction.
"War between the United States
and England is inevitable. 1t will
arise on account of British disre-
gard of our direct interests. 1t
will also be forced by British en-
croac hments upon other nations all
over the world. 1t will be fought
by us, having Russia as an Euro
pean ally.
AS war, offensive on our part,
it may not happen within twenty
years; as defensive war, it may
come sooner and may be welcomed.
One result would be the permanent
acquisition of Canada by the
United States. England proposes
to sieze from the United States
a portion Of Alaska. She is de-
stroying independent Governments
in all parts of the globe. She
treats Americas sentiment and re-
monstrance with insolence and de-
fiance.
For vindication of the Monroe
doctrine IN the Western hemisphere
and the protection Of those indie
pendent governments in the East
ern hemisphere and the Islands of
the oceans, it is necessary the
Uuited States should prepare for
war with England. It had better
come now and be over, than fifty
years from now. We ought to de-
fine our position and say if it is
not assentented to we will fight to
maintain it.
1t will take some time to pre-
pare for an offensive war, but a
defensive war can come none too
soon. Let England begin.
Russia will be our sure ally.
She is the great absolute monarchy
and the United States the great re-
public of the world. The former
needs, and is entitled to a seaport
in the warm region of which Eng
land persistently deprives her
The United States wants only the
Sandwich Islands and a foothold
in the West Indies. Together
they can defy the world. They
must and will restrain the brutal
ity and bloody avarice of Great
Britain.
Let this be understood at once,
and let England strike the first
blow if she chooses. Millions of
men and muskets will overrun Can
ada, and England's commercial
ships will be swept from the ocean.
Let England begin. We ought to
begin if it is necessary to save to

DENvER'S STRANGLER.
Frenchmen Accuse Each Other of Be-
ing the Slayer of Three Women.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 6.-A1phonse Lamar
one of the F'renchmen under arrest on sus-
picion of having strangled three Market
street women, to-day made an alleged con-
fession charging Victor Moncherueaux, also
under arrest, with the murders. He claims
that Moncherueaux tried to persuade him
to do the killing. and, upon his refusing,
did it himself. He says that Moncherueaux
told him the details of how each woman
was strangled. and said that he would kill
a number of others. On Friday Moncher-
ueaux dictated a confession in which he
charged Lamar with the murders in almost
the same language that Lamar uses in his
confession. The police are suspicious that
both are only figure heads put forward by
the organization of French parasites and
that it is attracting as much attention from
itself as possible so as to draw off investi-
cation. There is not sufficient evidence
against either to hold him at the prelim-
mary hearing.
