RESOLUTION OF THE ANNEXA-
TION CLUB.

At meeting of the officers of the
Annexation Club of Honolulu, held on
the evening of the 27th day of Novem-
Der, 1896, it was:
Resolved, This Club was formed in
the month of February in 1898. under
the Provisional Government of Ha-
waii, for the purpose of giving definite
expression to the desire for the an
nexation of Hawaii to the United
States, and of encouraging and pro-
noting such desirable object.
The Provisional Government having
accomplished the object for which it
was established, both in conserving
the cause of law and order, and of
Constitutional Government, and in en-
deavorng to establish political union
with the United States, and having
been merged in the Constitutional
Government of the Republic of Ha-
waii, the end and aim of which is to
accomplish political union with the
United States, this Club hereby de-
clares that it is still the earnest de-
sire of it's members that the Republic
of Hawaii be annexed to the United
States, and become an integral por-
tion of that great Republic, subject to
the existing laws of the United States
and to such further laws as Congress
shall enact, and that it is the firm be-
lief of the members of this Club, that
such result will best promote the in
terests of all classes and nationalities
of people within the Hawaiian Islands
This Club respectfully assures the
Government of the Republic of Hawaii
of the desire of its members that as
soon as shall be practicable anneXa-
ton to the United States be accomp.
lished, leaving to the United States tc
enact such laws as Congress shai
deem to be proper.

Thirty-four delegates from branches
of the Aloha Alma Society on Hawaii,
Maui, Molokai and Oahu, and about
three hundred friends have been in
session in Arion hall since 10 O'Clock
this morning. The first two hours
was devoted to Recognition Day pro-
gram, during which Mr.. Kaulia deliv-
cred an grafton on the subject of the
events of 1S43 and the significance of
the day.
The candidates for the office of
president of the society were j. X.
Kaulia and Robert w. Wilcox, both of
Honolulu. Both had strong followings
and worked hard. An annexation
speech by Wilcox delivered in the
Drill Shed on the evening of March 2l,
1898, was resurrected and used with
great effect against him. His friends
submitted that though their favorite
had "sinned on that occasion he had
made amends by the bravery and pa
triotism displayed during January,
1895"
Immediately after the meeting Mr..
Wilcox and Mr.. Kalauokalani (of Mo-
lokaD addressed the society on Union
Square.
Kaulia was elected President.

The foregoing was adopted by unan-
imous vote at a meeting last evening
held in the room of H Company, n. g..
H., at the Drill Shed. The call was
for convention of the officers of the
old Annexation Club, though it was
stated in the course of the evening
by an oflicer-that all who cared were
welcome to attend.
Those present were: Judge A. S.
Hartwell, F. b. McStocker, Mr.. Pier

Office, Senator Wright, j. l.. Mclean,

Fisher, w. r. harrington, Geo. Strate-
meyer, b. f. Dillingham;.
Judge Hartwell presided and in the
enforced absence of Maj. j. w. Jones,
who was detained in court, Bert Pet
erson acted as secretary. The chair
man said the recess of the organiza-
ton was because there had been only
theoretical annexation to consider and
that work had been carried on by the
American League. There could not be
too much effort on the part of too
many. In the tranquility he saw
danger that invited united action. The
course of events and the five japanese
immigration corporations meant that
the country would be orientalized in
ten years. The cub should consider
this and there should be an awakening
all along the line. There should be =
roll call and an understanding
reached.
| f. b. McStocker spoke several times
in the course of the evening. He
urged harmonious action at once un-
der the auspices of the old AnneXa'
ton Club and expressed confidence
that the ranks could be swelled. He
suggested united front to meet Wig
orous opposition and dilated on the
claims of the club to leadership. In
answer to direct question, Mr.. Me-
Stocker said the club had never hac
any constitution or bylaws; that il
had been simply an enrolment club
but had done an enormous amount o
effective work. 1t would sustain ant
assist the Government without in
trusion:
The motion by Mr.. McStocker tha
business be. resumed by the club car
ried unanimously. This meant cal
for meetings and election of officers.
Mr.. Thurston made brief but ring
ing address. He thought the work j
was now proposed to inaugurate wa
as important as at any time since tn,

The last act in a pretty love drama
was enacted in the probate court at
Cleveland, O., the other day. About
four o'clock two pretty girls, an elder
ly woman and five men crowded up to
the uaaErsaCeieense desk. A look at

who blushed furiously, "is in love with
dis man"
dis man" was Michael Tannoos, q
strapping big, fne-looking young man.
The license was granted to Michael
Tannoos and Mary NJ. Zagaib," after
which, while the party chatted gaily in
their native tongue, the interpreter
told the following story:
Mary Zagaib, with her parents, lived
in Syria, where Mary was born II years
ago. The Tannoos family were neigh
bors of the Zagaibs, and mike" was q
boy of eight years when Mary was an
infant. One day one of those gigantic
fires, typical of the country, broke out
and destroyed the entire village. The
inhabitants fed to the hills, and when
the Zagaibs reached the outskirts of
the village in their fight, the mother
discovered that she had forgotten her
baby Mary. Mike" Tannoos, hearing
her pitiful pleadings for some one to
go back for the deserted infant, ran
bravely through the flames at the peril
Of his life and succeeded in rescuing
the little one. After the fire the Ia
gaibs, who had lost everything, came to
America, settling in New York Three
months ago they came to Cleveland.
The mother was delighted to find
mike" Tannoos resident of that city,
: and when she told Mary who he was,
love was immediate. The wedding will
occur at st. Anthony's Catholic church
next Sunday, under the Syrian rites,
and will be the first ceremony of the
Kind ever held in Cleveland.

Doing Your Own Repairing.

By a small expenditure we can read
lily provide for making many of our own
repairs. Every farm should have a
pretty full supply of mechanical tools,
and if there is a blacksmith's outfit,
during the winter months the most of
the repairs needed upon implements
and machinery can be made. They may
not be as neatly done as if profession
al did them, but they can be made to
answer, and there is plenty of time in
winter to do them. Then when spring
comes we shall be ready for the seasons
work. 1t is by small savings that large
aggregates are created. Under present
conditions it is necessary that the
farmer should save his dimes and his
quarters. Everybody is doing it; and
every farmer, if he had the tools, could
save in repairs good many dollars

ton and then in the other. To each
half of a shaft is rigidly secured a
blade or sail, in such a manner that
when one of the pair stands upright
the other will be lying down. A simple
and ingenious attachment rocks these
shafts and automatically raises and
lowers the blades, according to the re-
qpirements of the service. The sails
are "feathered" as skillful boatman's
oars are.
An important feature of the latter
wind engine is that he has provided
for the storage of power. The force
developed by his machine operates so
as to lift heavily weighted platform.
Any expenditure of this force tends
to lower the burden. Elevation of the
latter to its full height involves about
half days work. Grist mills, pumps,
dynamos and other mechanical or cleo
trical devices dependent on the wind
engine for power can be run for few
hours during calm if the storage plat
form has been previously raised to the
top notch, say, during the night.-N. Y.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Lime on dry soils will show its effect
at once and one application will show
for years.
1t is worth while to take extra pains
to keep the rats out of the corn crib. 1t
is a good plan to nail projecting tin
around the edges.
Irrigation is to be the salvation of
farming in those regions where drought
is the rule, and the sooner it is made
available the better.
Whether to burn over the stubble
or not before blowing is question that
is asked. II in a region where there
is enough rain to rot the stubble there
is no need of burning, except TO kill in
sects. Where there is not enough rain
to do this it should be burned
A st. Louis paper thinks that the corn
crop has been over-estimated to the ex'
tent of 600,oOo,OOo bushels. That is Q
pretty high figure, but that the croT
has been oVer-estimated we do not
doubt. Crop reports are nearly Away:
exaggerated to keep prices down. The
potato crop is also over-estimated il

An Event in Potato History.

Attention is called to the fact that the
potato will celebrate the 300th ami
versary of its introduction into Eng
land this year. III was in 1896 that Sir
Walter Raleigh returned to England
from America with the first tobacco
and potatoes, which originally grew in
Peru. Although the potato, it is esti-
mated, now furnishes one-sixth of the
nourishment of the human race, for a
long time it was delicacy for the rich
alone. Even at the beginning of the
18th century noblemen paid two shil-
lings pound for potatoes and seasoned
them with sherry. People often visit
ed the gardens of the botanist Gerard,
at Holborn, to see the plants in bloom.
There is talk of celebration in honor
of the anniversary.

SAVING THE MANURE.
Different Methods of Performing This
Important Work.

Different Methods of Performing This
Important Work.
There is as great difference in the
way two men will save manure on a
farm as in the way they will care for
their stock or raise their crops. One
farmer will recognize the value of the
manure and will add straw and all
sorts of refuse, working them in and in
cooperating them together so as to make
an excellent article. Such method
was Systematically carried out on a
farm where the writer visited this sum-
mer. Nothing was wasted either inside
the house or out. Whatever was not of
value for pigs or chickens was set aside
for the compost heap. 1t did not matter
how trifling the amount, it always
found its way there during the course
of the day. AS a result the owner is
steadily bringing up a rundown farm at
the yearly expenditure of a very small
sum for commercial fertilizers, while
his neXt-door neighbor, with originally
better land, larger means and a more
extended experience, is rapidly becom-
ing bankrupt.
The change in their circumstances is
being brought about by their different
methods of handling the manure ques-
ton. The old farmer is going on in the
old rut he got into 20 years ago. when
his land was virgin and the prices of
farm products high. Labor was high
too, then, and he economical by NOV
ing his animals about, feeding here and
there in odd corners in the woods or
along the road, wherever it happened
to be convenient, or where it would
save the trouble of cleaning up after
wards, for he regarded the manure as
simply waste product.
These habits cling to him still to far
greater extent than he is aware of.
He thinks that he saves his manure, or
at least "nll that is worth the bother"
but fully onc-half of it is still lost and
the remainder is thrown out, to be
leached by every passing storm, while
an insufficiency of bedding causes the
almost total loss of the liquid manure.
Though this farmer keeps double the
amount of stock that his careful neigh
Dor does, he has always fewer loads of
manure to haul. He says he cannot
understand it, and gets very indignant
at the suggestion that he, a farmer
born and bred, can learn anything from
an engraver, whom failing health and
sight have driven to an outdoor life.
Yet the beginner is already doing bet
ter than the old farmer. He says his
only strong point is his manure heap,
but it struck me that he is succeeding
because that same care is bestowed on
every part of the farm. He finds moth
ing too much trouble, and consequently
there are no leaks to run away with the
profits.-C. d. Bell, in n. Y. World.

WINDMILL NOVELTIES.
Two Recent Attempts to Improve on the
Prevailing Styles.

Two Recent Attempts to Improve on the
Prevailing Styles.
The use of windmills for Developing
power in the rural districts is steadily
increasing, and much thought Is now
being given to the possible improves
ment of existing designs. Herewith
we rudely indicate the prfncipleso of two
recent inventions. DIR. II. Ne. Shaw, of
Genoa, N. Y, would have four horizons
tai arms of frames, to each of which
he would attach, by hinges, one or more
vertical sails, either entirely fat or
made of Stats, shutter fashion, whose
angle with q perpendicular could be
varied. The first diagram gives an idea
of this plan. The solid arrow shows
