with the skillfrl abandon of a cowboy,
galloped his horse to a position directly

of going on, but they fingered in the de-

historical things would be said.

Then he began to talk rapidly and in

his words with pointing finger. The

The youth and his friend exchanged

The general spoke sharply. ''Get 'em

from here and send you word when to

AS the other officer tossed his fingers
toward his cap and, wheeling his horse,
started away, the general called out to
him in sober voice: 81 don't believe

The other shouted something in re-

From tic Gazette, Burlington, Zo,cd

A GG-otte man sought en- interview with Mr..
Tabor at his place of business to-day, and,
although he was busily engaged with imper-

on the subject of his recent severe sickness
and subsequent wonderful cure.

was enabled to return to my work, but only
at intervals. Severe attacks would appear
regularly in my back aud descend into my
leg and foot, and threatened to make me
permanent cripple. I tried various rene
dies for rheumatism, but without any Bono
dcial results. 1grew pale. weak and bag

the knowledge, that SO many forms Of

AMSTERDAM, n. Y, July 13.-
John w. Mason, a millionaire sugar
planter of Hawaii, was in the city to-
day When interviewed upon the sub
ject of annexation and cable commu-
nication with Hawaii he said:
1--WE felt sure the last session of Con-
gress that the bill would be passed
granting a franchise and subsidy to
Mr.. Spalding, who had obtained
franchise and a subsidy of $40,0 900 a
year from tire Legislature of Hawaii.
and we were much disappointed when
another company entered the field and
caused complications, as both were
fighting for the franchise and neither
obtained it. We, however, are in hopes
that consideration of the joint enter
prise will be made by the next session
of Congress and franchise obtained,
so that the laying of the cable may be-
gin soon thereafter.
THE friends Of the Islands have not
given up hopes of annexations K. c.
Hitchcock, present Sheriff of Hawaii
and former Marshal of the Hawaiian
Republic, remarked to me on the morn
ing OF my departure JndJ ne was III
hopes the Republican party would be
successful, as in that event he expected
the policy inaugurated by President
Harrison would be consummated and
our country become part of the Unit
ed States. He also remarked that he as
an American, would much prefer to be
annexed to America than any other
country, but that if the new admins
tration refuses us aid and continues
the -the-manger policy, then we
will be Englishmen.
Our country is too small to remain
an Independent Republic, as the ex-
pense of maintaining a standing army,
which is necessary on account of fill
clustering so long as we remain without
protection, is too great for our re-
sources. This expense will be unneces-
sary when we are annexed to the United
States or some other great power. At
the last session of the Legislature a
resolution in favor of annexation was
adopted, and the inhabi-
tants of the Islands who have the fran
chise are nearly all in accord with this
sentiment"

Arthur Sewall, the Democratic Vice
Presidential nominee, is man very
nearly twice as old as the head of the
ticket. He is much older than he
looks. He is a splendid example of
physical manhood, carries himself with
a soldierly bearing, and is what might
be termed a fine-looking man. His hair
and mustache are slightly tinged with
gray, but the wrinkles of age have
scarcely made their appearance on his
face. He was born at Bath, Me-, No
vember %, 1925.
The estate on which he was born and
where he now resides has been in the
possession of the Sewall family since
1850. His grandfather fought in the
War of the Revolution. By occupation
Mr.. Sewall was originally a ship
builder, and he is now largely inter
ested in shipping railways and bank
ing. For nine years he was president
