"The case OF OK. Consul Waller has

The President and Secretary Olney
are now thoroughly satisfied that

The amount OF the indemnity to

The exact sum cannot be ascertained
and the probabilities are that it has
not been determined on The re-
port that Waller is dying of con
sumption in prison is giving the
State Department some uneasiness,
but the information is not believed
to be strictly accurate, as the latest
letters from Waller said the chills

had left him and that his health was
much improved.
As matters now stand, Walters
prospects are very hopeful aud bis
release lie assured, even if the indem
nifty fails to be forthcoming.

The British government is the
embodiment Of fair play. Never in
all its history has any other state
ment besn alleged against it. What
amuses US is the fact, that those
who in print, during the last two
years, took every occasion OF stating
that, the British government was
the embodiment Of turbulence, and
oppression, now take every oPportu-
nifty OF stating how nice and un-
oppressive the British government
is in it's management of the claims
OF its outraged subjects by the Ha-

HAwA1ANs WORST ENEMY

Anybody who knows anything OF
Hawaii and the Hawaiian people
will by this time have realized that
the worst enemy OF the Hawaiian is
his own countryman, the Hawaiian.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-08-29

A Hawaiian-man or woman-is
the worst enemy Of . Hawaiian.
Jealousy, petty spite, the small
feeling that II am prettier than
you" "that am cleverer than you"
"that am more successful in bust
ness, marriage, huapalas, or politics"
has been sufficient cause to make
. Hawsiian swear himself--or her
self-blue in the face for the pur-
pose of injuring a friend, acquain-
tance, or opponent. 1t is trait in
the national character which is to
be highly deplored. Its existence is
to be admitted by all who have
studied Hawsiians, but in spite OF
all efforts by the friends OF this
fascinating race it has never been
abated one iota.

SILVER IN ENGLAND.
The People Fully Aroused f gainst
the Gold Usurers.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The appreciation of the price of
gold, in pllirg up burdens upon the
shoulders of the people, is being felt
quite as heavy in England as in this
country.
And the issue is there being drawn
between active industry on the one
side and the mere money lender on
the other.
Such is the situation as described
by President William G. Raoul, of
the Mexican National railroad, who
is at present at his home in this city,
after a brief trip TO England.
1t was at his home, 7OS Peachtree
street. that President Raoul was
found by The Constitution represen-
tative, TO whom he talked of the
status Of the silver question in Eng
land.
1T is Il fact" said he "that in
England the people are divided into
two classes, which alliance explains
their standing on the silver question.
Those with fixed incomes, govern
ment employees people in possession

Hats to be Smaller.

Certain symptoms allow me to in
form you that it will not be long
before we see a change in the fashion
in hats, and, considering the expanse
of most of them, this change cannot
but bring about IL GiminutiOn in

to go out on foot with the forms
now being worn In modern broug-
hams, which are SO little like the
carrosses and berlines of former days,
they are inconyenient, and in open
carriages the wind, which gains a
purchase on their large wings, often
causes the hat to be displaced, if not
carried away. Hats, then, are to
become less voluminous, but he re
assured they will remain as brilliant,
as elegant and as fiowery rs in the
past. They will have less expanse,

GOOD NEWS.

We have a piece OF very good news
today.
Tae debt upon the Twin City Hos
p tai has been paid.
This result has been secured by the
noble generosity of Il lady, who, on
Saturday, made "a donation covering
the balance due-aboutfourh hundred
dollars.
1t would afford US great pleasure
to bestow personal honor upon the
one who has done this great act of
philanthropy and brought gratifica-
ton to the hearts of the noble band
Of ladies of the twin city who have
labored so earnestly and so persist
entity to the same end, but the gift
was made so unostentatiously, 50
nearly in accordance with the divine
injunction, ''Let not thy lefG hand
know what thy right hand doeth,"
that the name of the lady who has
wrought this good work is unknown
to us aud is even unknown to the
Association. 1t is not unknown,
however, to the Great Physician,
who went about doing good and who
smiles upon every effort to anchor
ate the condition of suffering human
ity, and by Him will this generous
deed be recorded on the credit side of
the Great Ledger.
The payment of this debt will
stimulate the ladies in their noble
work and we would appeal to our
citizens generally to render them
every assistance possible. Their
diligence in the past-the overcom-
ing OF obstacles which appeared
almost nsurmountable-is worthy
OF the highest admiration and our
people should manifest their appre
citation of these efforts by giving the
Indies loyal and cordial support in
completing arrangements for open
ing the Hospital and in maintaining

The ladies will next apply them
selves to the work of supplying the
building with water and heating
apparatus and they have fixed the
1st of September as the time for
throwing open the doors of the
Hospital and starting it upon it's
mission of mercy. 1t goes without
saying that the ladies will accomp-
lish their purposes or will be found
trying.
Again we commend them to the
cheerful and earnest cooperation of
all the citizens of Winston-Salem.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.

Now and then we see 1T stated that
the per capita of currency issue is as
large now as it has been for many
yeats. This is used as an argument
that the volume OF currency is not
contracted. This position, however,
does not meet the situation. The
question which concerns the people
is: How much currency is III circula-
ton? The Augusta Chronicle thinks
there are not $40 per capita circula-
ton in the United States and the
Wilmington Messenger believes there
are hardly s. per capita circulation
in North Carolina.
The difference between the per
capita circulation and the per capita
issue is accumulated in the hands OF
a comparatively small number and
this produces IL contraction of the
currency to all intents and purposes,
and as there is no way to force this
accumulation into the arteries of
commerce and manufacture a larger
volume of currency becomes neces-
sary. in order to successfully prose
cote the business of the country.
Bimetallism. or the free coinage OF
both silver and gold, appears to
furnish a key to the problem of en-
targjug the currency issue and the
per capita circulation, at the same
time, upon a safe basis.

found mammoth owl walking
around his yard with steel trap
Fastened to each leg. On investiga
ton he found that the owl had got
ten one foot into one trap and was
strong enough to tear he fastening
of the trap loose, and being unable
to fly with the trap hanging to its
leg, it walked around untilit stepped
into the other trap. 1t succeeded in
tearing the fastening of this loose,
also, and when found each leg was,
as stated above, namented with IA
steel trap. The owl measured five
feet two inches from tip to tip CT its
wings. tits thought to have been
at least twenty years old.

Church Etiquette.

(Robcrt j. Eurdette in Sunday School Times)
The next time your journey leaves
YOU stranded in the great and de-
lightful city of New Chicoradelphia
on the Sabbath, if you should go to
the church of ST. Indolence-I can
recommend 1t as having the siowest
singing and the softest pew cush-
ions. with a preacher to match, in
the city-you will see the following
Suggestions to Worshippers:''
Fall or slide in the pew nearest
the aisle. Stay there. Do not sit
erect, but lop. Rest one elbow on
the arm CT the pew; support the side
of the face with the outspread hand.
"Do not rise during the singing
of the hymns. The fact that you
played tennis or base ball all Satur-
day afternoon or walked four or
five miles around a billiard table
Saturday night, entities you to
little rest on Sabbath morning.
extend your feet as far under
the pew as you can without sliding
off the seat. Gratefully and politely
cover your mouth with your hand
while yawning during the sermon.
If your minister is looking at you,
cover the mouth with both hands; at
the close of the yawn, bring your
jaws together with a cheerful snap.
after looking at your watch,
always turn your head and gaze
longingly and earnestly toward the
door.
'Do not move if a stranger, ac-
companied by his wife and daugn>.
ter, attempts to enter your pew.
Permit them to climb over your legs,
no matter how much it may annoy
you.
do not annoy strangers who may
enter the church by looking at them,
or even glancing in their direction
If they really want a seat, they will
find one without the obstructive
Interference of other people.
cat the close of service, remark
aloud, but to yourself, that you are
hungry as a shark, and set off for
home at brisk trot.".
