NJ. McIN ERNG.
Sudden Death Christmas Day OF Il
Respected Citizen.

The sudden death of NJ. McInerny AT
his home on Judd street yesterday af-
ternoon cast a gloom over the city.
That such worthy citizen should be
cut down by the grim reaper onChrist-
mas Day and without the slightest
warning was very much regretted by
all who knew him in life. The pro-
found sympathy of the community
goes out to the wife and children who
survive the Honolulu pioneer.
Mr.. McInerny was one of the best
known men throughout all the islands
He came to Honolulu in 1857, from
New York by the way of Panama. He
was employed by Mr.. Foster as ship
caulker. He worked at his trade until
the latter part of 1862 when he en-
gagged in business on Beretania street
across the bridge. In the little build
ing which is now the Chinese joss
house, he built up big trade from 81
small retail grocery store.

he moved to the corner of Fort and
Merchant street and opened up Il
furnishing goods store. In the early
days his best patrons were the whal-
ers. Today the stores embrace all
branches of the furnishing line anG
are pride to the city.
Through an immense island trade
! Mr.. McInerny became exceedingly
well known throughout Hawaii. H'
was popular man and was always
found ready to assist others His de-
mise has been genuine loss to the
city and country.
Mr.. McInerny was born in County
Glare, Ireland, over 65 years ago. His
wife and four children, Edward A.,
William H., ID. James and Miss Ella,
survive him. The boys have been in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The full

Department by United States Consul
Bergholt, at Erzeroum, wherein he
says:
The number of Armenian children

the massacres of 1895 is $4,000, accord

The question of what shall be done
with these orphans is receiving the at

The American Board of Missions
has the question of creating orphan
ages, clothing factories and industrial
institutions under consideration.
German charitable and religious So

a movement leading toward settling n

Races Of all kinds have been devised,
both in army and navy, to develop the
strength and agility of soldier and
sailor. There are obstacle races, in
which all sorts Of impediments are
placed in the course. There are barrels
through which the men must crawl.
There are bars placed from a foot to
fifteen inches above the ground, under
which they must pass. There are hur-
dies over which they must leap. There
are mazes of labyrinths of ropes
stretched in all directions, through
which they must go, sometimes head
first, sometimes feet first, any way at
all so as to get through, and tanks of
water through which the men are
forced to swim. All these exercises are

Church it was provided that pew

During the four score years Of the ex-

Trained Like Pugilists.

Trained Like FuG1l1SrSs
Few persons in this country have
any Just conception of the iron discip-
line practiced in the European armies
Severe as it is in the armies of Russia,
France, Italy and Austria, it is much
more so in the Prussian army, which,
in Europe, is the type disciplinarian
severity. The Prussian soldier is al
ways under the eye Of his officer; he has
not the slightest liberty Of action. The
object Of the military system is appar-
emily to deprive him of whatever indi-
viduality he may possess. He is SIM
ply a unit in the grand total. He is
merely a piece of the great military
machine. An effort has been made to
render the PruSsian soldiers what one
might call interchangeable pieces of
mechanism. The great factories which
turn out sewing machines, watches,
writing machines and other delicate
mechanisms by the million, manufac-
ture all the parts so alike in every di-
mension that, in a watch, for instance,
when one wheel is broken another of
exactly the same size, weight and pro-
portion can be put in and the difference
not be detected. So it is with the Prus-
sian army. When one soldier drops out
an interchangeable piece is put in his
stead, and the difference is not per-
ceivable.
One of the most important parts of
the military training in the Prussian
army, and, indeed, in all the armies of
Europe, is designed to develop the mus
cular system, and all sorts of athletic
exercises have been devised to this spe-
cial end. No part Of the physical sys-

In the sea near the Siberian coast and

this latitude, however, the depth in
creased with astonishing rapidity, and |
found the sea north of that to be be-

therefore seems TO me as if the entire
Polar basin should be considered as
continuation of the deep channel which
runs northward from the North Atlantic
ocean between Spitzbergen and Green

basin overthrows. however, all earlier
theories based upon a shallow Polar sea.

very different from the suggestions of
most scientific authorities. | found not

Where the Nuts Come From.

Nuts is nuts" at Halloween in Scot
land. We eat most of the dainties here
at Christmas time. Whence do they
come?
Take the French walnuts, considered
by many the sweetest nut that grows.
New York imports 5000 or 10000 bags of
them every year, but not from France.
Most of them come from Naples. A SUI
perior article which is fast replacing the
foreign article is brought from Califor-
MIA. 1t is grown in the Los Netos dis
trict and shipped eastward by the car
load.
California grows no end Of almonds al
so, but Spain is still powerful second
to the Golden state. These nuts come to
New York in their shells, but most of
them are "husked" before being offered
for sale, for the confectiOners and bakers
prefer to buy them so. But shelled al
monds are imported in large quantities
via London from the valley of the Jor-
dan.
Hazel nuts, you would think, are COM
mon enough in this country, but it is a
fact that New York imports 100000
bushels from Spain and England-more
than half of what we eat. The flbert is
a variety of hazel nut. 1t is grown al
most exclusively on the AMOR river, in
Asia.
Nearly all the dried figs imported to
this country come from Turkey and Sa-
maria Very few New Workers ever
tasted fresh fig, but those who have de-
clare it infinitely superior to the dried
fig.-New York Herald.

currence, but are matters Of everyday
practice. so that the life Of soldier in
one Of the European armies does not
greatly differ from that of an athlete
training for a prize fight. 1t is work,
and that of the hardest description. 1t
is all done under the eye Of an officer.
Almost every movement is at the word
Of command. If the soldiers are climb
ing a wall, the officer stands by and
gives the word; If they are jumping in
to a ditch, an officer gives the order.
So minute is the code of military regUL
lation, SO exact is the military life of
