In recent. sermon upon Christian
citizenship Rev. DR.. Ollie paid the fol-
lowing tribute to the candidates named
to lead the political parties of the
United States: I'VE have had recently
an impressive illustration by the fact
that high moral principle and Christ
ian character are at a premium even in
the political world All our candidates
for President and Vice President are
Christian men. There is not a news
paper or a speaker in this broad land
who will not say that the fact l have
mentioned is an argument in favor of
each of them. With what JUNCTION the
Democratic papers dwell on the beau
tiful Christian home and exemplary
life of William ]. Bryan; and the Re
publican press has no less to say of the
unaffected piety and spotless Christian
record of William Mckinley. Mr.. Sew
all and Mr.. Hobart are both Christian
men, and Mr. Watson is also man of
high moral, Christian character. The
nomination of these men is an eloquent
tribute to the hold Christianity has
upon the great heart of the American
people"

"A Volunteer whose communication
appears in this issue, makes some good
suggestions regarding beer drinking by
members of the military while at the
drill shed. We agree that it is not the
duty of a captain and his lieutenants
TO follow their men home and see TO il
that they arrive safely; yet it would be
possible TO enforce regulations making
ii a misdemeanor for a member of the
National Guard to enter saloon in
uniform. 1t is hard indeed to make the
good, sober men of the military suffer
on account of the disgraceful action of
one or two rowdies, but it is the rowdies
who occasionally creep into the ranks
that have to be looked out for.

Claus Spreckels, since his arrival in
San Francisco, seems to have forgotten
his threat TO go after Senator White
with redhot poker According to all
reports his attention is centered in the
erection of the largest sugar factory
in the world. He says that his factory
will have a capacity of 5000 tons a
day and the daily expense Of running
the thing will be $4,000. This is in
teresting, if true. Possibly he hopes
to use his redhot poker on cane sugar
producers.

AMERICAN HAWAII.

The latest mail from Honolulu brings
news of more elaborate celebration of
the Fourth of July than any that took
place on that day within the country
where the Fourth of July has its home.
There was great parade, in which the
police and military forces, the fire de-
partment, the wheelmen of Honolulu
and large assortment of variagated
and decorated citizens participated. AT
ter the parade-which was reviewed by
President Dole and others prominent
in Hawaiian matters-there came ath-
letic sports and many popular kinds of
amusement. Feasting, dancing and fire
works brought the memorable anniyer-
sary to an end. And yet there are peo-
pie who lay claim to the possession of
common sense and reasonably well
filled store of general information who
insist that there really is not any Am
erican sentiment in Hawaii

MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed a wealth
OF large red freckles and first-rate health.
Singing she rode, and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from the tree.
But when she was several miles from
town,
Upon the hill-slope, coasting down,
The sweet song died and vague unrest
And sort of terror filled her breast
fear that she hardly dared to own,
For what if her wheel should strike a
stone!
The Judge scorched swiftly down the
Just then she heard his tire explode!
He carried his wheel into the shade
OF the apple-trees to await the maid.
And he asked her if she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, as he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with sprightly jump,
And in less than a jiffy produced her
pump.
And she blushed as she gave it, looking
down
At her feet, once hid by a trailing gown.
Then said the Judge, as he pumped away,
'"Tis very fine weather were having to-
day"
He spoke of the grass and the flowers and
trees;
OF twenty-mile runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her boomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack-a-dayI
The Judge remounted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed, "Ah me!
That l the Judges bride might be!
my father should have a brand-new
wheel
Of the costliest make and the finest steel
And To give one to ma of the same de-
sign,
So that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back as he climbed the
hill,
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"a prettier face and a form more fair
I've seldom gaZed at, declared
Would she were mine, and I today
Could make her put those boomers away.
But he thought of his sisters, proud and
cold,
And shuddered to think how they would
scold
If he should, one of these afternoons,
Come home with a bride in pantaloonsI
He married a wife of richest dover,
Who had never succumbed to the bloom
ers' power;
Yet oft while watching the smoke wreaths
He thought of that freckled bloomer girl;
OF the way she stood there, pigeon-toed,
While he was pumping beside the road.
She married man who clerked in a store,
And many children played around her
And then her boomers brought her joy,
She cut them Town for her Oldest boyi
But still of the Judge she often thought,
And sighed Ger the loss that her boomers
wrought,
Or wondered if wearing them was sin,
And then confessed: 1T might have
BEEN
Alas for the Judge! Alas for the maid,
Dreams were their only stock in trade.
For of all wise words of tongue or pen,
The wisest are these: Leave pants for
men,
All, well! For us all hope still remains
For the bloomer girl and the man of
brains,
And, in the hereafter, boomers may
Be not allowed TO block the way!

against rifles being taken into saloons.
1t ought to be misdemeanor for an
officer or private to enter a saloon in
uniform, but this might be considered
too arbitrary for those who see no
harm in "a drink or two" At the same

Some weeks ago reference was made
in these columns to the studies made by
Prof. Maxwell on the growth of banana
leaves. By the last mail was received a
pamphlet from German publication
the Botanisches Centralblatt, which
gives DR.. Maxwell's article on his OBJ
servations in full. The article was pub
lished by the above named journal
which is the first journal of its kind
in the world, and later published in
pamphlet form in both the German and
English languages. While this notable
recognition is a pleasing tribute tc
Prof. Maxwell, it also indicates that
other countries are watching our pro-
gress, and the people here can make
name for these Islands even in the
leading scientific communities of the

PASSING POSTER SHOW.
Art Exhibit Was Success and
Aroused a Lively Interest

Among the entertainments of the past
week the Columbia poster show attracted
perhaps more than its share OF atte ention.
From an artistic point OF view this
mammoth display of American paintings
and designs has never been equaled before
in this country and from an advertising
standpoint the Pope Manufacturing Com
p8ny have certainly made themselves
more famous than ever by such an inge nious
and interesting way OF attracting atten-
tion and bringing the name Columbia
into universal prominence.
IL is a weH-known fact that when the
Columbia people DO thing they do it
properly. and in exhibiting their original
designs through the country they have
spared no pains nor expense to make the
entertainment as attractive as possible
and show each and every design to the
best possible advantage.
The collection was made particularly
interesting for the reason that the freaky
and grotesque were mixed with the
artistic and symmetrical. so that there
was always some new aud amusing feature
to attract the eye in passing from picture
to picture.
1t was interesting and amusing to hear
the comments OF the visitors. Oue person
would go into ccstacies over the artistic
coioring of the first prize aud the next
would pronounce il the worst thing in the
room. A well-knoWu foreigner of this
city remarked that If the cole ction were
exhibited in France with an admission fee
OF so cents il would be crowded every
minute"
Among the designs on exhibition were
four by Washington artists. The one by
A. G.. Randall is of young chap in racing
costume, and by reason of its striking
colors. is perhaps of more value as a
poster than the Others. being attractive

appreciation wherever they may be exhib-

A FRUIT COSMETIC.

II HE very latest cosmetic is the lemon.
In countries where they grow as
freely as apples do in the temperate
zone, this fact is appreciated. and their
virtues ayailed of; but their admirable
qualities are worthy Of wider knowledge.
Lemons are not so costly even i'll the co oldest
countries, that women may not easily
afford to use this tropical aid 10 the
toilet. In the care OF the complexion it
is invaluable, part icularly in summer. when
a few drops squeezed into the water iu
which the face is washed removes all
greasness and leaves the skin fresh and
velvety. A little lemon juice rubbed on
the cheeks before going TO bel and allowed
to dry there will remove freckles and sun
burn and Written the skin, beside giving
it a charm ing sInoothness and softness to
the touch.
