Andover, as is we'll known, has lo'

The Ellis River Band furnished music

is how band whose players are scatter

This society does pretty well by thos'

HALE'S PROPHECY.

The editor of the New England
Magazine recalls a prophecy uttered
by Edward Everett Hale when preach
ing in 1889. 1t reads curiously in the
light of the last eight months:
"The twentieth century will apply
the word of the Prince of Peace to in
ternational life. The beginning will
not be made at the end of war, but
in some time of peace. The sugges-
ton will come from one of the six
great powers. 1t will be from a ma
ton which has no 'arge permanent
military establishment; that is to say,
it will probably come from the United
States. This nation, in the most
friendly way, will propose to the
other great powers to name each one
the other five, shall form a permanent
tribunal of the highest dignity. Every
thing will be done to give this trib-
unal the honor and respect of the
world. AS an international court, it
will be organized without reference
to any special case under discussion.
Then it will exist. Gradually the habit
will be formed of consulting this
august tribunal in all questions before
states. More and more will men of
honor and command feel that an APP
pontment to serve on this tribunal is
the highest human dignity. Of such
tribunal the decisions, though no
musket enforce them, will be one day
received without question"

wise have been employed in hauling
food north from Mafeking. In reply
TO the clamor for the dispatch of
more troops to enable Sir Frederick
Darlington to restore order, the gov
eminent has the unanswcrable reply
that il has more men there than it
can feed already. 1t is made plain n
line of light railway from Bulawayo
would he more useful than an army
corps. The transportation drawbacks
in Egypt are nothing as. compared to
the problems of travel in South At
RIGA. But if what the Chartered Com
pany has accomplished is a criterion,
it will overcome even loss of freight
motive power.

OCTOBER I, 1900


Most everyone breads to
think of the time when the
rainy season will commence, a.
it always means additional
homework. This is particu.
Iarly the case when those
whose homes are not in easy
access of the Tram Car lines,
which require a walk Of block
or more in the mud.
Ii is more than probable
that if the wishes OF the ma
jority of housewives were ex-
pressed they would declare
war against wet weather; but
it is one of the many nee dful
things that we have to put up
with, and, consequently, should
make the best of a bad bar
gain and prepare accordingly.
Our indestructable Coiled
Steel wire Mats 4x7) are just
the thing for muddy boots as
they take off every vestige Of
dirt and do not fill up or cake,
as is the case with rope or
grass mats.
Everyone is interested in
the rainfall Of a twelve or a
twenty-four-hour shower, and
our Rain Guages can be relied
upon as being accurate.
We have a large assortment
of Hendrix Brass Bird Cages
that are meeting with a ready
sale and the prices for the three
sizes range from So SO to 81 SO
We have a nice line of Painted
Cages that we are offering at
from $I.25 to 81

IS one of the necessary utensils
that go to make up a complete
kitchen.

There are others than the Presi
dent of the Board of Health who have
often thought that there was eXagger-
alton in the alarming statements at
tributing the utmost danger and the
greatest peril to wet lands in and
about Honolulu and on Oahu and the
other islands. If some of the alleged
facts in this relation were correct
excepting in the change of thousands
of acres, including large productive
areas. Contaminated water must at
once become tabu, but any supply
source or any conduit is likely to be-
come inoculated. 1t will not do, of
course. to disregard the opinion of
scientific and medical authorities, but
the layman will insist in all time up
on giving considerable credit to con-
ditions as he finds them. During the
year the harbor was under the ban
there was clandestine fishing and
bathing in the same without serious
results. Thousands of the Chinese in
the rice industry live in swamps in
way that, according to strict
sanitary statutes should insure their
death at a terrific rate, yet they are
healthier and longer-lived than the
town Palles employed in households.
A very considerable proportion of the
poorer classes of the islands practical
ly live in marshes, but they outlast,
as rule, the poor contingent on dry
lands. II is when the source of a wat
erway becomes diseased that danger is
rampant or becomes reality. This was
demonstrated at the cholera time.
The proper policy should be then. to
keep clean the heads of streams and
where practicable, as in the case of
Nuuanu, make a sanitary channel.
But tide lands purify themselves.

Those who are interested in the Re-
form School will now confidently eX-
pect it to do much better work. The
Bureau of Education has taken a
great advance in providing some light,
diverting and profitable work for the
lads confined in the institution. The
Star suggests that they also be given
some entertainment-say band con-
represented that very great number
of the boys in the school are not at
all vicious and certainly not criminal.
1t should be no great task to put
them in the right path and make good
citizens of them.

The Congress of the men who are
making special Investigations of lep-
rosy should be held in Hawaii. This
is the country which has led all 9th
ers in effective methods of treatment
and relief. And this is the country
in which the disease is decreasing as
against increase elsewhere. 1t would
be but small gathering, this Con-
gress, but to do the best work in the
interest of humanity it should be con-
vened at the vantage point.

1t has remained for magazine writ
ers to disclose to the public the eco
nomic reason for the continuance of
the unsettled state of affairs in South
Africa. 1t is now accepted that the
real difficulty with which the frontier
has to contend is not hostile natives,
but the impossibility OF. obtaining sup
plies of food, owing to the fact that
the rinderpest has killed nine out of
every ten oxen which would other

Can the Criminal be Reclaimed"
is the subject of an important paper
by DR.. II. S. VILLAINS. The view taken
by this writer is that the criminal
differs from his fellows not so much
in inherent depraved tendencies as in
defective powers of resistance" To
what extent are these powers of re-
sistance capable of development? DR..
Williams asserts that ethical develop
ment is always possible, and he takes
issue with those criminologists who
find in heredity a bar to such develop
ment. To him it seems far wiser to
regard each individual vicious little
John Doe as the victim of undevelop-
ment, and hence to strive to educate
him to better point of view, than to
label him hereditary criminal and
leave him to the hard fate fortune has
originally dealt him."

The Advertiser quickly makes for
itself a sorry plight as the self-ap-
pointed exponent of what it represent
ed as the late James &. Blaine's con-
tirmed habit of claiming everything"
The Advertiser gives its full endorse
ment to that remarkable political AK
ION, the authorship of which was
never before attributed to the dead
statesmen now tagged with it. In al
most the same breath the mouthpiece
of the select and exclusive few walls
because The Star modestly places
credit for the good roads agitation.
Those who read the papers know
which one is conducted on the broad
guage plan, hammering away for the
greatest good to the greatest number
and which one caters to the holy hui.
There was never any pretense to the
study of good roads as considered in
These days until The Star, day after
day and in column upon column quiet
ly but effectively worked upon public
opinion.

Edward W. Box has, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, an editorial reply to
those who have advised him to drop
all advertising from his publication.
His opinion is that absence of bust
ness cards from any literary or news
publication would impair its attrac-
tiyeness TO such an extent that ruin
would be approached. He might have
pointed out that great many people
who say they do not read the adver-
tisements are really the closest stud
ents of the same. Advertising has
now become such an art and business
matter is presented with such skill
that in giving it attention the reader
entertains himself.

Ripans
TabuleS

Mr.. l.. A. Rocher is farmer re-
siding about three miles out of
Colon, N. G. His home is some
what in the back woods. In an
interview with Mr.. S. Il. Godfrey,
correspondent of the Telegram
and Sunday Times, Mr.. Rocher
on the 18th of June, 1895, said:
81 am 81 years of age, and until
l was nigh onto fifty years old,
1 was always well and peart,
then for long while and until
last February, 1 suffered with
indigestion and could not eat
anything hardly at all. My
daughter, who lives in the city,
sent me some of Ripans Tabules,
told me how to take them, and
and they have completely cured
me. My wife is now troubled
with the same complaint, and
has written daughter to send
some more of Mr.. Ripan's med
icine. 1 want you to tell every
body how I got cured, for it is a
blessing to humanity.

either directly 81. Indirectly redeem
able in gold, and although the govern
ment limo manner undertakes tokeep
the silver coin on q parity with the
gold coin. Ask q French fnancier the
explanation Of this remarkable fact
and he will tell you that it is because
the silver coin is good for the payment
OF all debts, public and private, and
the further fact that the option to use
it equally with gold is constantly ex-
ercissd BY the government and by the
citizens in the payment Of all debts
due by either to the other. Say to him
in reply that this is quite simple as re-
CARDS debt due within the territory Of
France, but ask him further how it is
that the interest coupon on-a French
rente Cor bond) will command par in
gold in single gold standard England,
when that same interest coupon when
presented for payment will only COM
mand silver in France. He will an
swer that it is because the holder of
that interest coupon, while it probably
will be only paid in silver, can convert
that silver into goods which, at the
same price, are worth gold in England.
What is true of the interest coupon
which can only command silver when
carried to France would be equally
true of the silver fve-frane piece, less
only the cost of transportation and or
binary exchange, if it should be carried
to England .,>.~ <,s,y~'s ~
