The open spaces near the top are for

one there. The copper casket, which is
lined with silk and lace, has a glass
top, with an oval wicker cover. For
interment the wicker casket is placed
in the usual manner in hardwood

cording to size and finish. a burial
casket of recent design is made to
open at the side, as well as at the top;
one side drops ON hinges. 1t is especial
ly intended for young women. When
such a casket is used the body is dis
posed upon the side, as though lying
upon a couch. These caskets are COW

Hawaiian situation.
In substance. President Dole spoke
as follows:
THE government Is stronger to-day
than IL ever was, and | have no doubt
that any resistance which may be in
store for IL will be met as effectually
as the rebellion of last January. The
principal opposition TO the government
springs from the Englshmen living
here,-yet many of them are with us.
The natives, too, are becoming recon-
ciled gradually. Every means is en-
ployed TO gain that end. and as much
favoritism as possible is shown them.
For example. If a native and a white
applicant seek a certain government
position, other things being equal, the
native secures the place. Our police
force is composed entirely of natives,
which fact has made many of them
favorably disposed toward us. At pres
ent we are especially interested in the
reports that President Cleveland con-
templates submitting the question of
annexation to a vote by the inhabi-
tants OF the islands. We have heard
indirectly that congress is about to
pass this bill"
What would be the result of such an
action?" i asked.
To this the president answered: "If
universal suffrage is to be extended
upon this question it is hard to tell
what would be the result. If, however.
the vote should be taken basing suf-
frage upon the constitution of 1887, 1
have no doubt that vote in favor of
annexation would be the outcome. If
we are not annexed now we shall SIM
ply wait patiently until another ad-
ministration secures the reins of gov
eminent when we hope to be admitted
into the fold of the union"

Burial Cases Are Now Made of Wicker
Work and Aluminium.

From the New York Sun.
Collins are now made of aluminium
Like the modern square burial casket,
the aluminium coffin is made OF UNIFORM
width, with square ends and vertical
sides and ends. 1t is finished with a
heavy molding around the bottom and
at the upper edge. and with pilasters at
the corners, and has a rounded, mold
ed top. 1t is provided with extension
bar handles. The aluminium casket is
not covered, but finished with the metal
surface FURNISHED. 1t is lined in the
usual manner The weight of a six
foot aluminium coffin is 100 pounds. A
six-foot oak casket weighs about 100
mounds, and a cloth casket OF the same
size. with metallic lining, about 10
mounds. other metallic baskets weigh
from $50 to 500 pounds. The cost OF
aluminium collins is from $3.50 to $1,000.

country annexed to the United States.
The Americans, who form the back
bone of the population, have but one
wish, that these islands, beautiful as
a necklace of sparkling diamonds, may
at last be brought to adorn Columbia
A few of the planters are opposed to
annexation for the reason that it
would prohibit the importation of con-
tract labor from China and Japan,
without which they say their indus
tries cannot be carried on successfully.
Another objector to annexation is the
ex-queen, Liliuokalani who. liberated
from prison last Fourth of July, is
now living here in the utmost retire
ment, scarcely seeing any one except
her servants. She impresses one as a
crushed and bitterly disappointed wo-
man. Niels-Gron.

nor DIR. Lag appear to have heard OF this
fertile region, and II is to be presumed
that the guides deliberately led them
away from the direction of the lakes. The
news of this discovery will no doubt re-
vive the interest in the occupation of Tim
buctoo in France. where, after the hrst
enthusiasm was over. there was marked
tendency TO criticiZe-a tendency rather
strengthened than weakened by the recent
troubles with the Tauregs. The results OF
observations on the climate of that part
of Africa establish. IL is said, the perfect
feasibility of Europeans living there the
whole year round with certain precau-
lions. The months of April and May are
said to be the most trying, not only for
Europeans but for natives, but December
and January so cool that great coat
is sometimes welcome and the natives re-
port that one year ice formed-at least

known BODY OF Water.
From the Edinburgh Scotsman.
Although the occupation of Timbuctoo
by the French has not yet added material
Nv to the volume of Frances colonial
trade. it has unquestionably added very
greatly TO our knowledge of Africa, and
in particular has resulted in discovery
of singular interest and Importance.
Timbuctoo, as all the world knows,
stands on the boundary line between the
Sahara and the western Soudan, little
TO the north of the great Niger bend. but
what was not known was the existence
in the immediate neighborhood of the city
and lying somewhat to the west, of Sc
ries of lakes and marshes covering a
large area of country. These great sheets
of water were first seen by the Jonre col
umn and have since been explored by
French officers stationed in the neighoor-
hood. who have laid down their general
outlines with some approach to accuracy.
The most important or these lakes Is
called Lake Faguibure. and runs in d.
rectfon roughly cast and west, its total
length being some 90 or 20 miles. A couple
of similar sheets of water connect with
the Niger and there are other lakes IN
the neighborhood. As might be supposed.
these lakes are the center Of a rich agri-
tural and pastoral district. Crops OF
various kinds are grown in abundance and
the natives have large flocks and herds
Perhaps the most curious feature OF the
discovery is the fact that neither Barth

rHE TELLER ADDRESS.

Senator Teller and the other dele
gates who bolted the recent Repubh-
can convention because of its surren-
der TO Wall street on the money ques-
tion, have again demonstrated that
their course is dictated by patriotism
and not by self-seeking, says the Post
Dispatch Their first address, issued
Immediately after they had Withdrawn
from the Republican convention, gave
convincing reasons for their with
drawal The address just issued by
them from Denver gives equally con
vincing reasons why they and all who
think with them should support Bryan
and Sewall
This address cannot fail TO pro
foundly impress those Popul.st dele.
gates now in ST. Louis who wish TO
see the cause they have advocated suc-
ceed and who are amenable to reason.
No sensible man can doubt that Sena-
tor Teller and his colleagues state the
case truly when they say that the sole
issue In this campaign is whether the
election of Mckinley shall tasten the
gold standard upon the United States,
or whether the election of Bryan shall
restore honest bimetallism.
There is no possibility of evading
this plain issue. Either Mckinley or
Bryan will be elected. II Mckinley

street triumph. II Bry an is elected,
the people win victory of tremen-
dous cons, quence. Such being the
case, those who fail TO help Bryan
help Mckinley. No man in the coun-
try is SO we'll pleased with the Middle
of-th, r. ,ud Populists as Mark Hanna
Perhaps the most striking passage in
rddress Of senator Teller and his
friends is the fJllowing;
THAT the condition OF the country
is not satisfactory all admit. The pro-
ducers OF wealth are not receiving fair
and proper compensation for their
labor, whether in field, factory, or
mine; enterprise has ceased; values are
constantly declining; labor IS unem-
ployed; discomfort and distress prevail
TO an extent never before known in
the history OF this country, and no
reason can be found for such an un.
happy condition save in vicious
monetary system Those who profess
to deplore the present financial eondi-
tion and oppose the free coinage OF
silver are divided in opinion as TO the
cause Of the present condition. Some
declare that il is because we have too
much tariff; others that we have not
enough, while the fact exists that
every gold standard country in the
world, whether 1t has high or low
tariff, is now, and has been daring
recent years. in the throes Of a finan-
cial panic, and every silver standard
country, compared with its former
condition, is enjoying an industrial dc
velopment and degree of prosperity
hitherto unknown in its history"
The issue between bimetalliam and
the gold standard has never before
been more impressively stated than in
this address.
