The subject Of the annexation oi
the Hawaiian islands was up before
the house in the form of a resolu-
ton which provided that the Sand
wich islands be created into a new
state to be called Hawaii, with re-
publican form of government to be
adopted by the people through dep
uties in convention with the con-
sent of the existing government.
Conditions were proposed that all
questions Of boundary or complica-
tions with other governments be
transmitted to the president to be
laid before congress for final action
before Jan. l, 1898, that all property
pertaining to the public defense be
ceded to the United States; but that
the state retain all other property
and the United States be liable for
none of its debts.
A resolution was proposed as an
alternative that Hawaii may be ad-
mitted as a state by treaties between
the two governments with one rep
in congress, and proposes
an appropriation of 100000 for
making the treaties. The resolution
was referred to the committee on
foreign affairs.-Washington tele-

How Lincoln Offered Himself as

The audacity of a young man in
his position presenting himself as a
candidate for the legislature is fully
equaled by the humility of the clos
ing paragraphs of his announcement:

gree of modesty which should al

have already been more presuming

I may be wrong in regard to any or
all of them; but, holding it sound
maxim that it is better only some
times to be right than at all times to
be wrong, so soon as 1 discover my
opinions to be erroneous, 1 shall be
ready to renounce them.
"Every man is said to have his Pc
culiar ambitions, whether it be true
or not, can say, for one, that have
no other so great as that Of being
truly esteemed of my fellow men by
rendering myself worthy of their
esteem. How far I shall succeed in
gratifying this ambition is yet to be
developed. I am young and un-

THE ULTIMATE TEST.

Placing the Responsibility for Failure-A
Candid Self-Examination.
There is no more subtle temptation
than that which contantly leads US to
foist upon others, or upon circum-
stances and conditions, a responsibility
which really lies upon ourselves. When
men fail in AN undertaking. the first
impulse of the ma jority Ia to try to dis
cover tho cause of failure in something
outside of their own intelligence, skill,
knowledge, or purpose. We are always
tempted to find In others the defects
which exist In ourselves, and to hold
others responsible for the consequence
of those defects. When n man discovers
that his work Ia not gaining that effeo-
tiveness. skill and perfection which 1t
ought 10 have, his first duty Ia to bring
home TO himself with unsparing So
verify the question whether or not he
Is responsible. 1t sometimes happens
that mans failure to achieve tho high
est results Is due to adverse conditions,
to failure In cooperation, to lack OF
sympathy and intelligence on the part
OF others. This Is sometimes tho result
of candid examination, and then a
man has n right to hold himself free
from responsibility of failure; but 1t
oftener happens that when the search
light Is turned inward, and we take nc-
count OF ourselves with impersonal and
impartial exaotness, we discover that
or own egotism has concealed from us
the defects In which lie the secret of our
failure, The first step toward better
work and higher success Is clear
knowledge of our fitness or unfltness
for the thing we are attempting TO do;
when we have discovered our error and
laid finger upon our weakness we are
prepared to rectify the one and remove
the other. The highest tribute we can
pay TO our best selves Is to hold our
selves relentlessly to It's Judgment, for
the success which gives satisfaction is
never external. 1t is evidenced by ex
ternal, achievements, but the satisfac-
ton lies in the possession OF equality
which makes those achievements possi-
lie. No man need be discouraged by
the discovery of his own defects, for
the knowledge of u defect ought to be
in Itself IN inspiration to new effort.
The thing to be avoided Is not this clear
knowledge OF our own limitations, but
the ignorance which keeps us blind to
faults which others discover, and which
leads us TO the injustice of laying upon
others the responsibility which we
ought to shoulder ourselves. A mans
FIRST duty, therefore, when he is con-
fronted by criticism or by evidences OF
failure, is to subject himself TO a search
ing and critical examination, to be alb
solutely and austerely honest with him
self. In this very act there is a tonic
quality which makes n new resolve pos
siblc, and which predicts finer sue
cess.-OutloolS.

TEN MILLION TONS OF COAL.
New York Annually Consumes This

New York Annually Consumes This
Amount with Little Smoke. .a-
a prominent New York coal mer-
chant, while showing a Pittsburgh
friend about New York on the occasion
of the latter's first visit to .he metropo-
lis, took him to the top of one of the
very highest buildings III town and
pointed out to him the different OBJ
iects of interest that could be seen.
The western man took in the beautiful
view Of the bay and then looked north
ward over miles and miles OF roofs and
chimneys, over the vast eXpanse of
street and park, business buildings and
dwellings, and then turned u his friend
with the remark that the most astonish-
ing thing to him was that it was so
clear. Not a bot of smoke marred the
landscape. Clear and brilliant in the
sun of a brilliant winter day. New
York was clean and neat and the great
est possible contrast to the dingy and
grimy cities Of the west, where the use
of coal is not restricted to certain kinds.
New Workers have made O study of
the combustion CT Goa! and they have
learned how u get the most out of 1T
with the least dirt and smoke. The
enormous amount of 100000 tons of
anthracite coal is now burned every
year in New York, and thlSl is not at
all remarkable when it is considered to
what an extent the use of coal enters
into the everyday life of the people.
The coai dealers of New York are le-
gion, and the business has grown to
immense proportions. The ease with
which coal can be shipped to New
York and unloaded IN order to get it to
the market with the least possible hand
ling has contributed to great extent
to the success which New York coal
merchants nave attained.-N. Y. Mail

MORBID BRooDlNo.

Unwholesome Self-Tntrospection Should
De Guarded Against ms a Temptation.
"A science called infant culture was In
vogue in Germany few years ago.
The parents of newborn babes were
furnished with diaries which were to
DC filed up from day to day with
minute observations upon the looks and
actions of the children, from which OBJ
servations could be deduced general
rules concerning their development in
body, mind and character.
The effort, though well-meant, was
abandoned, as no committee could bo
found with patience enough to read
the countless bulky volumes brought
IN by fond parents. One of the adyo-
Gates of the system, in explaining its
aim to the late DIR. Jowett, was asked:
And how long do the parents con-
tinue their recordI" +

Dog Eating In Mexico.

spite the stern examples that have been

seized man named Genaro Perez, pass

pines, who bore a suspicious-looki:g
bag, which, on examination, disclosed
the skinned carcass of large dog, with
the lower part of the legs cut off so as
to prevent the easy recognition OF Its
species. NJ. Perez was taken to the po-
lice station to the third demarcacion
TO be examined as to the antecedents
of his dog meat, which, 1t is shrewdly
suspected, was destined to be made into
