Il Curiosity of Time.

Ewo persons were born at
thy ~ame place, and same
nilrnent of time. After an
age of fifty years they both
djad, also at the same place
alal at the same instant, yet
one of them had lived one
h.!ndred days more than the
o.Ier. How was this poss1'
bic? The solution turns on a
curious but, with a little re-
Election, very obvious point
OF circumnavigation.
A Aperson going around the
world toward the west loses
a day, and toward the east he
gains one, Supposing, then,
two persons are born togeth-
er at the Cape Of Good Hope,
whence a voyage around the
world may be performed in a
year, II one performs this
constantly toward the vest
ii fifty years he will be tltty
days behind the stationary
inhabitants; and if the other
sails equally toward the east,
4 will be fifty days IN ad-
vance of them,
One, therefore, will have
seen one hundred days more
than the other, though they
were born and died in the
same place and at the same
time, and even lived in the
same latitude, and recorded
time by the same Calendar
London Tid-Bits.

WalWOrth county, on almost
the extreme southern bound
ary of the state, leading the
quiet, nonotonouS, self sac
ri6cing life of a country ply
sician, lives one of the post
wartime poets, Samuel Fill
more Bennett, who served
"fof three years of the war
as Lieut.. Bennett, of the 40th
Wisconsin Volunteers, whose
name has dropped almost IN
to oblivion, though the song
1.-The Sweet By and By, "
has been sung and heard by
nearly every music-loving
person in this and foreign
lands at sometime since it
was written by DR., Bennett,
twenty-four years ago, when
he was not long home from
the war.
At the time of the incep-
tion Of the song, DR.. Bennett
had just returned from Ann
Arbor, Mich, where he was
graduated with highest hon
ors, and had become an at
tache Of the Elkhorn "lnde-
pendent"
He and a musical composer
]. P. Webster, long since
dead, were friends insepera-
bic. Webster was of a des-
pondent nature, in many
ways an extremist, while
Bennett was more CHEEKY,
Webster appeared before his
friend one day more than or
dinarily downcast, when Ben
nett inquired; That is the
trouble now"
1T is no matter; it will
be all right by and by" he
replied.
Like an inspiration or
voice from the unseen lane
came to Bennett the idea OF
the song, "SWeet By ant
By" Turning to his desk
writing offhand with pencil
in less than thirty minutes
he handed Webster the hymn
worded as it reads to-day,
AS Bennett handed the
lines to Webster two friends
S, e. Bright, now a resident
Of Fort Atkinson, and N. H
Carswell, who long since
joined the great majority,
entered the room, and listen

notes on a bit Of waste paper
In less than ten minutes these
four men were singing the
hymn "Sweet BY and By"

that hymn is immortal. y
Within a few days it was
sung by school children or
the streets; then it was pub
llshed as a sunday'schoo
hymn, and lastly as sheet
music, translated in many
languages,
Aside from their intrinsic
worth and beauty, the words
were peculiarly fitted to the
spirit of the times in which
they were written, when so
many hearts were sorroWlnl

Extra Attractions in Connection

1t has been found that the comedy of
Jane to be given at The Irwin, under
the direction of ". H. Levers, is much
too short to carry through the evening
and something must be had for cur
tain raiser.
The supply of plays in Honolulu is
not so large that there is much choice
in the selection, but among those in
the hands Of professionals and anna
tours was one which is adapted TO the
wants of the company and will be
pleasing to the audience.
Mrs Charles D. Wilson has been per-
suaded to undertake the production of
some suitable play and after mature
deliberation she has selected Ruth
Romance" a pretty little play in one
act. The cast consists of three persons.
two besides Mrs Wilson. She has not
yet selected the actors, but they will
be from the amateurs not in the cast
of Jane
Mrs. Wilson has appeared four times
in plays under the auspices of Co. B,
and while none of them received the
support that was expected or due, she
won distinction by her clever acting.
Ruth's Romance is by Fred Broughton
and part in it is well adapted to Mrs.
Wilson's capabilities as an actress.

KEY WEST, Dec 23.-Passengers on the

secretly made for a forward movement on
the part of the Spaniards. Three battalions
of newly landed troops left by water Sun
day for the east 1t is supposed that this
is part Of General Weyler's coming cam
paign. He is now in the vicinity of Mariel
General Gomez Is advancing rapidly,
and 1t is thought that Weyler, If possible
will prevent his coming to the gates of
Havana. 1t is stated from Cuban sources
that the Cuban leader is wild over the
murder of his only son and his beloved
chief lieutenant and is burning to revenge
their fall. The Cubans In the army are in
furiated also.
DR. Zertucha is a marked man, too, and
IL is reported that move has been made
to abduct him. He is now in fortress
some miles from Havana, with a strong
Spanish guard. His trip to Spain will be
postponed, the Cubans say, as, II he goes
over there they have friendly hands in
that country who will avenge Maceo and
young Gomez.
Major Ciruieda also comes in for his
share of hatred and revenge.
Strong insurgent bands are now so close
TO Havana that the Spanish soldiers sell
dom venture far out of the gates of the
city except in strong force.
A company Of 20 were attacked Sunday
night not over three miles from the palace
by an insurgent band and several of them
killed. This audacity has worried Weyler,
but he cannot capture or disperse them.
An American named Samos johnson Of
Texas is their most prominent leader.
