Pie story.

A story coming from Pittsburg. Pa, was
published yesterday. giving an account of
how burglar was apprehended by fitting
his teeth into the imprints in piece of
pumpkin pie out Of which he had taken
bite while robbing house. This city, how
ever, promptly came to the front yesterday
with story on similar scale, but which
goes the Pittsburg story one better.
For some time Washington Howard (col-
ored), living at 500 Cornell avenue, has
been working at the home of Sam
uel Shanks, SIC Ash street. In
preparation for the approaching Thanks
giving dinner Shanks has been fat
tening a nice robust turkey. and as each
day passed he would look at the calendar
and then gaze at the strutting turkey in
fond anticipation. AS it happened, How
ard also gazed at the same turkey With
secret, but nevertheless the same, ardent
anticipation. Saturday night he decided
the turkey was about ready for transror-
tation, and when Shanks went to feed his
Thanksgiving dinner" yesterday morning
A trail of small feathers. however. was
left behind. and he followed it,. lie was
greatly surprised to find the trail Iea'lins
him right up to the door of Howrad's home
where lay two big tail feathers. He picked
up the two feathers and hunted up officer
Winn. In possession OF the two feathers
| the two men returned to Howard
and there found a nice plump turkey. but
as all turkeys look somewhat alike. Shanks
could not identify this one. Then came the

dismissed by Governor Matthews on the

Whitaker $50 with which to pay the

encampment last summer.
Soon complaints began coming in that the
money had not been paid to the musicians

was made on Whitaker for the money.

the demand was made. 1t was then sent to
those to whom IL belonged. IL was re-

tacle that reveals still another phase
of the weakness and the intemperant
conduct of American politics.

The Right Reverend Bishop of Homo
lulu, head of the church of England in
these Islands, is not in full consonance
with the views set forth in a Missouri
journal by one of his laity. The Star
surmised that both His Lordship and
Rev. Mr.. Lytton were not fully under
stood. In his Diocesan Magazine the
Bishop makes at least his position very
clear. He differs with the young rec
tor who had put upon record the opin-
ion that thre would be no more mon
archy in Hawaii mel. The Right Rev.
Mr.. Willis is firmly of the belief that
there will be no permanent tranquil
ity here until the throne is reinstated.
Just where the absence of tranquility
in the body polite is to be noticed is
a feature to be seen only through such
glasses as His Lordship may wear.
The Diocesan Magazine does not main
tain a regular wit and humor column,
but il can be too funny for anything
upon occasion. What sort of an ut
terance. after all it has said during
the past three years could be half so
laughable as this sentence from the
current issue: "The Diocesan Maya
zine had intended to be silent on the
political situation in the islands" II
ever such intent existed it must have
been cast to the winds in the dim and
distant past. The Magazine has been
about the most partisan publication in
Hawaii. And il has time upon time
taken advantage of its cloth binding
to indulge in lectures, misrepresenta-
tons and diatribes that outspolten po-
litical organs would disdain to put into
print. In fact it has been more of a
political than a church paper.

There will be many of the military
and civil life glad that Capt. Dreyfuss,
the French officer exiled, has escaped.
There was the most serious doubt as
to his guilt of the serious offense
charged and at no time of the trial
was a motive shown. It was alleged
that he sold war Office secrets. Drey-
fuss was wealthy, had a quite high
social standing and was intensely de-
voted to his flag. He had earned a rep
utation for valor upon the field. There
was every evidence beneath the sur
face that he was the victim of a con-
spiracy with race prejudice and black
mail at the bottom.

By the Transit which ar
rived on tn 4th inst. we
received 100 Jewel Stoves and
Ranges, one large car load,
direct from tn factory at
Detroit.
This is our third shipment,
and we find that we have only
4 stoves left from our previous
lot.
The excellence of these
stoves has already been prov
ed by the large sale, but we
will name three points:
First. Long life from the
heavy high grade of iron,
which is the same in the $12
stove as in the $50 range.
Second. Economy in the
use Of fuel.
Third. Quick and even
bakers.
We propose leasing these
stoves on the following terms;
When the stove is deliver
ed one-third of the price is
paid in cash, and the balance
monthly thereafter in five
equal payments,
If before the expiration of
the five months, the lessee
wishes to pay off the balance,
he will be entitled to a dis
count Of five per cent. on the
amount unpaid.
If a customer wants to buy
outright, he gets five pei
cent. discount on the whole
amount.
Jewel Stoves and Ranges
can be had only of US.

Those who know Senator John NJ.
Palmer personally or have acquaint-
ance with his record will not be sur
prised to see him at the head of such
forlorn hope as he now leads. Pal
mer, since the days of Lincoln and Lo-
gan and their prairie west contem-
poraries, has been persistent in stu
pendous effort to become national in
stead of a mere state political figure.
He pushed his claims for recognition
in and out of season without success.
At last the opportunity has presented
itself and he has snapped it up with
characteristic avidity. If the third
party ticket were an avowed rebellion
against free silver, free trade and
other Chicago Democratic platform
twistings and vagaries and crazes, it
would command respect. But as a
bushranging expedition it is a spec
