A dispatch from Washington re-
lates that DR.. Talmage is in trouble
already with the authorities of the
First Presbyterian Church, Of which
he is the co-pastor. The difficulty
is, he does not find enough work
to do to satisfy his ambition. Ac-
cording to the terms of the peculiar
contract made with them. he
breaches only Sunday evening,
while DR.. Sunderland and DR.. Allen,
the other two pastors, minister to the
congregation at the morning services.
The First Presbyterian Church
went out of fashion many years
ago. When, however, President
Cleveland took pew in the
church, its popularity revived a
little, but the novelty of seeing the
President at church soon wore off,
and now the crowd that went to
church in the morning to see Presi-
dent Cleveland remains away, and
goes in the evening to hear DR..
Talmage, to crafty their curiosity.
The doctor wishes to preach twice
a day. but DR.. Allen, who is a
young, energetic and enthusiastic
man, is not disposed to yield his
rights. 1t is not known what the
outcome of the controversy will be,
but it has already grown exceed
ingly warm.

A DECIDED movement is noted
in sugar stocks. By far the great
est number of transactions are by
way of investment rather than in
speculation. All of the shares con-
sidered solid are steadily advanc-
ing and some certificates for which
there has been no demand at all are
enjoying the marked distinction of
being quietly sought.

IT WAS quite like E. G. Hitch
cock to stick closer than a brother
to his deputy sheriff of Hawaii
wen when the assistant official had
the sharpest antagonism of the
large majority of Citizens Guard
members and other residents of the
big Island and its capital. Such a
veteran as E. G. has long since
learned that loyalty to a friend or
trusted subordinate is worth the
while. But he was carrying it to
too great length this time. Deputy
Williams is in no sense a bad, dis
reputable or unworthy man. On
the other hand he is valued citi-
zen, and it is no fault of his parti-
cularly that he was unsatisfactory
to the Hawaii constituency as its
deputy sheriff.

The last mail brought good
news for the people of these
islands. 1t is stated that
there will be no grinding of
sugar cane in Cuba this year,
owing to the rebellion, and
consequently the worlds sup
ply will be decreased by
100000 tons, one-ffth of
the entire production of the
world. A considerable in
crease in prices is therefore
certain. On top of this comes
the information that Senator
Perkins is making a strong
fight to secure a higher tariff
on sugar, as he wished to en-
courage the beet sugar plan
tiers of California. Senator
Perkins believes that where
the Republicans can secure

ton will be granted by bounty
or increase of duty. The

commenting on the PROPOSE

There are Two Principles Involved In the
Use Of this EiIiefi

FIRST Filtration--i e., the removal of all insol
uble matter from the water, rendering it clean and
bright. In this the filter is practically perfect
SECOND Aeration-i e., allowing the air to be
brought into direct contact with the filtered water as
it will be observed there are escapes such as all
other filters have. The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water
This operation tends to oxdize and aerate the filtered
water, giving new life and vigor to it In all other
filters, scientists agree that filtered water has fiat
taste to it. Not in this one For these reasons to-
gether with the perfect lock joint and easy method of
cleaning and taking apart and simplicity of construc-
tion these Filters are recommended for in every
household; they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where they are being
sold in great numbers.
