BOOTH IN HIDING,
One Mans life Hung by Very Slender
Thread.

The spot to which Captain Cox led the
assassins was an old tobacco-bed covered
with broom-sodge in a dense thicket OF
young pines. which was not near any
roadway.
Thomas A. Jones, n foster-brother OF
Captain Cox, and who had been his over
seer. lived within half a mile Of the TO
tomac on place called ''Huckleberry;
and as he had been regularly engaged in
conveying spies and blOckade-runners sur
reptitiously across the Potomac, Cox
sent for him, and placed Booth and Her
old in his charge. Jones daily brought
food. covered with corn. in a basket 70
the fugitives. and called Justify to his
hogs as he paid bis visit.
Bach day he found Booth suffering
much from his leg. and usually on the
ground rolled in Ills blanket lie was ca
ger for the papers giving an account OF
the murder, and seemed to be much dis

appreciation in the South. Jones watch
ed his opportunity to take his dangerous
charge 10 the river. about two and halt
miles distant; and nearly a week-a

ed before the favorable opportunity
came.
On the third or fourth day after Booth
reached the pines. II was decided TO dis
pose Of their horses, which had become
restless from lack OF food and proper
stabing, as II was feared that thelr
neighing would betray them. According
ly, Herold and Franklin a. Roby, Capt
Cox's overseer at that time. led the
horses about two miles distant into IT,

with Clarke's Run, and here they were
shot. As fhe place was DOGGY, the bodies
Of the dead horses disappeared from view
in the course Of a week, and were never

A large troop Of colored cavalrymen came
10 his residence for the purpose OF Sc
curing information as 10 the route taken
by the assassins after they left Rich Hill.
Captain Cox showed them the general
direction OF their course early Sunday
morning, which was toward Zekiah

Our health relations with Oriental
ports being somewhat strained, our
Board Of Health was on deck on
time, and the steamer was placed in
a condition of semi-quarantine; that
is to say that while carrying clean
bill of health, with bad information
behind it, she was allowed to come
into port and her officers and cabin
passengers to come on shore, but a
restriction was placed upon shore

She brought 233 Chinese passen-
gers, of whom 210 are contract la

quires 900 tons OF coal.
After past experiences the Board
Of Health is expert. The private
information received was to the effect
that between Hongkong and Yoko-
hama there was case OF smallpox
on board. That case was landed at
Yokohama and the ship fumigated
and since then passengers, crew and
baggage have been vaccinated, fumi-
gated and nyestigated.

THEIR FOREIGN POLICY.

In an editorial treating the plat
form Of the Republican party the
New York Outlook for June 9th,
says: "Upon the third great Ma
tional issue, perhaps the most i'm
portant of the three, the Republican
platform favors what may be prop
erly termed an aggressive foreign
policy. 1t believes that the Hawai-
ian Islands should be controlled by
tho United States, that the Nicara-
guam Canal should be built, owned,
and operated by the United States,
that the Danish Islands should be
purchased for a naval station, that
increase of colonial possessions in
either the North or South America
continents, even purchase, should be
resisted, and that our navy aud our
harbor and seacoast defenses should
be further enlarged. Upon these
points The Outlook differs from the
Republican platform. 1t says, I'VE
believe that it is wise to leave the
Hawaiian Islands to take care of
themselves; not to interfere with the
affairs OF the South American States
except for the protection of our
own National interests in the remote
contingency Of their being in peril;
to leave the Nicaraguan Canal to be
built by private enterprise whenever
there is a prospect of sufficient COM
mercial interests to justify SO great
an undertaking; and, finally, we
doubt the wisdom of any further
enlargement of our navy, and we
think that permanent court of
arbitration would be for more effec-
tive and far less expensive protec-
tion to our coast than any enlarge
ment of harbor and seacoast de-
lenses"
The above expresses the enlight-
ened public opinion of the people
of the United States on the foreign
policy of that great country.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, July 9, 1896.

To-day we have something to
say in regard to the De Laval
Cream Separators and Barber's
refrigerating machine.
AS you all know, the purpose
of the Cream Separator is the
expeditions and complete separ-
alton of cream from milk in the
most practical manner possible.
The De Laval Separator is the
invention of DR.. Gustaf De Laval
of Sweden, one Of the most
practical scientists and useful
inventors of any time, and dis
tinguished generally as the Edi-
son of Dairying."
Since it's introduction in 1879
the De Laval Separator has
wholly revolutionized dairying
methods, and won the fight on
behalf of centrifugal separation.
1t has alone brought about the
broad development and univers-
ally demonstrated superiority of
the new system to all other
methods.
There are two general ele-
ments in the construction, pur-
chase and use of the De Laval
Cream Separators; complete sep
aration, which is naturally the
primary purpose of the machine,
and the equally important one
of accomplishing that separation
in the most practical and econo-
mical manner.
The "De Laval Power or
Creamery and Factory sizes of
Cream Separators are made in
eight styles, in addition to
the six sizes of the smaller
"Baby" or Dairy De Laval
machines for house dairying
and cream gathering factory use.
They range in capacity from
100 lbs. to 1000 lbs. per hour,
while the smaller ones run from
150 to 700 lbs.
For household and small dairy
use the "Baby" or the Alpha
"Humming Bird" which can
be used by hand are recon-
mended. You will save at least
$40 year each COW by their
use, save time and trouble and
obtain the most perfect cream.
Barber's refrigerating machine
is another one Of those marvels
of the inventive genius of the
age and has been especially de-
signed for small plants such as
creameries, butter, cheese and
egg storage houses.
We shall be pleased to furnish
fuller information to all apply
ing for it.
