Comptroller Eckels' estimate that
Bryan will lose Illinois by 10000 votes
is of the kind which tends TO dissem-
mate over-confidence. But il should
encourage the Republicans and the

individual work for sound money until

be taken for granted anywhere in this
ampaign.-Boston Journal

After many months of theatrical ia
mine Honolulu is now promised a treat
which the theatre gOers of this country
have not had for a good number of
years. Even the best plays that have
been put on during the last year have
lacked the proper stage settings, so
that both amateurs and professionals
have now a great advantage in the fact
that they have house to play in. ="
That the Irwin opera house is to be
opened by local talent, leaves no ques-
ton that Mr.. Irwin believes in giving
Honolulu the first place, move which
will be appreciated by the public gen
orally.

Mrs. Nakuina's presentation Of the
necessity for a park by NuuanU stream,

There is an Indian living in New
YOrk'S Chinatown. His parents were
killed in massacre in California dur
ing his childhood. A Chinaman adopt
ed him and brought him up to the
Chinese customs. He wears a queue,
a blouse and clogs, and it is safe to say
that not one person in hundred would
know from his features that he is not
a Chinaman by birth. Possibly the
first red man was Monaghan. A

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

In the Polar regions Mr.. Moss found
that at a temperature of 80 degrees
Centigrade a candle would not burn
regularly, for the wax would not melt,
being cooled at once by the sur
rounding air. The flame then burned
feebly and sank down into a kind of
tubular hollow, and on boring holes in
this the flame sank down so as to
leave a tubular shell which was actu-
ally not melted by the flame. The con-
tinuous current of very cold air in
duced by the flame was not heated
sufficiently to enable it to melt the
wax above the flame.

timated by some to exceed 1000, 900,
by others as low as go, 900, the actual
figures not being available by reason
Of the loss Of records. The losses were
frightful to contemplate. On the Union
side 81, ,4O1 were killed in action; 3d.

Why Motormen Wear Rubbers.

his heavy foot arose and fell with great
regularity as wagons, small boys and
pedestrians scurried out of the way Of
the flying car.
He did not reply at once to the ques-

b woman was waiting at the next cor

raised his right foot and placed 1t on

kole of the heavy arctic overshoe could
be seen.

I've worn 1t all winter. Do you see
any holes in it?'

that it was practically as sound as the
day it came out of the factory.
