Mr.. Henry Seeders, an industrious
young man, met with quite serious

cause him to loose the sight of one
eye. On Monday he was filing some
thing down at the Hamley s. Ransdell

striking him in the eye. DIR. Bernard

the eye being inflamed, he could not
reach it. We hope that Mr.. Seeders

MEMORIAL DAY.

One of the brightest eXOtics that Am
erican custom has brought to Hawaii
is the setting apart of one day in the
wear to pay a loving tribute to the dead
The custom first inaugurated by the
veterans of the American civil war has
become so thoroughly established in the
community that it now may well be
classed as a national affair.
There is much that is sad and pa
thetfc about the observances of the
day. He must be flint hearted indeed
whose heart is not touched at the sight
of the veterans, whose ranks death is
slowly but surely depicting, marching
TO the graves of their former comrades
to place there a wreath of tender re-
membrane. Not many years since
these same men left their homes to suf-
fer the hardships of the battlefield and
to face possible death. They were then
in the best days of manhood, and there
was no hating tread as they marched
to the front to do their nations bidding.
Some gave up their lives on the battle
field, homes were broken and many a
bright, primising life was sacrificed.
Others remained to help carry on the
victory so nobly won, to maintain
united people under the stars and
stripes they had learned to love so well,
and to keep fresh in the minds OF
younger generations the memory of the
men who had died on the field.
At the same time Memorial Day has
it's bright side 1t has a lesson for every
young man and woman, every boy and
girl-a lesson of patriotism and the
higher duties of citizenship. The men
whose names are honored today fought
for a principle. Personally there was
little FOR them to gain, but they were
willing to give their lives if need be
to preserve a nations honor and main
tain the principles of freedom and JUS
tice for which their forefathers strug-
gled in years gone by. They were ready
at the call to duty, though to fulfill
that duty might mean death. Such
record as was made by the American
veterans, as was made by Charles Car
ter, should impress upon the minds of
the young people, the future citizens,
that to stand by the principles of JUS
tice is the first duty of the loyal citizen,
and to leave on the page of history the
record of having faithfully performed
this duty is the highest honor that can
be gained.

Plan of Opera House Orchestra
Pit Was According to Orders.
Mr.. Noticing in the Adj
vertiser of this morning that serious
mistake" had been discovered in the
plans OF the Opera House in, that the
orchestra pit" had not been lowered
TO suit the idea Of some of the many
visiting critics, allow me to say that
the architects of the Opera House dis
cussed this matter with the owners
before the plans were completed, and
it was decided that as the orchestra
som stimes consisted of Berger's full
band, requiring a very large space, and
sometimes by less than fourth of that
number and requiring only a small
space that no pit should me made or
enclosed, but that the orchestra should
occupy the room required by its num-
bers. If it is decided to drop a space
in the floor to accommodate a certain
numbe of musicians, it will be done,
but not because a mistake" has been
discovered, but to make a slight change
which was thought POSSIBLE from the
first study of the plans by the owners
and architects.

was sounded at the picket post, and
when the officer of the guard was
sent to report he found the outpost
in possession of Marvin Relief Corps.
The Post surrendered at once, and
the hall was taken possession of by
the ladies for an impromptu recep-
tion of comrade Woodburn and his
bride, who had arrived on the evening
train. Cream and cake was served
and the evening was pleasantly passed
in congratulating the comrade for his
bravery in embarking on the mat
rimonial sea for the third time, and
the bride for the judgment shown in
her choice of partner, also in renew
ing their acquaintance with her. an old
citizen OF Grayling. The members of
the Corps were also congratulating
themselves prospectively with the
thought that csmrade WOODBURY. had
added another member to their
ranks.

The Democrat papers are worrying
over the sentiments OF the next Pres
ident Of the United States on the
financial question. With equal rea-
son they might worry over Major Nc
Kinley's sentiments on the question
of protection tn American industries.
His record speaks emphatically on
both questions. He Is Republican,
and the Republican party has always
favored and legislated In the interest
of the best money In the world, every
dollar as good as any other dollar,
and has always favored protection,
prosperity and patriotism. 1t has al.

from the central and southern parts

greatly injured, and in many places
entirely destroyed by rust and the
Hessian fly, and Lapeer, Macomb and
Oakland counties storm swept, with
over 100 persons killed and injured;
the villages of Thomas and lakewood
destroyed and immense amounts OF
farm property swept into ruin. Great
damage also is reported in Fay, Tus-

the loss of life or property, but the
latter will reach above the million

The Only
Sarsaparilla
At Worlds Fair.

The President has done what 1t has
all along been known that he would
do, and must do-that Is, take care
of Commissioner Of Pension Lochren
by some permanent appointment. BY
carrying out the Presidents policy
as to pensions, Commissioners Lochren
ruined his own political future. Be-
fore he accepted the position he had
an excellent political standing, and
could hopefully look forward to any
thing in the gift of the Democratic
party. After three years in the pen.
sion bureau, doing as he was directed
to do, his party would not have dared
nominate him for any position where
the voters would have a chance Of
him. Therefore, the President re.
warded him with a District Judge
ship, which provides for him for the
rest of his life. Judge Lochren ha.
good qualifications for the place.
