The list of congratulations to the
first Legislature of the Republic would
hardly be complete without word OF
commentator upon the quiet manner
in which the Opium bill was laid
away on the shelf. Whatever may have
been the individual opinions OF the
legislators on the question of licensing
the sale of opium, we have noted with
Measure the readiness with which the
Special Opium Committee listened to
the assertion of public opinion that this
Legislature was not the proper body to
take such a measure under serious adj
visement At the opening of the ses0
sion several members felt very much
injured by the adverse remarks passed
upon their action in the public print.
Time alone could prove the wisdom OF
the Senators or the public print, and as
time has passed there seems to be no
doubt of the advisability of mailing the
opium measure in the legislative coffin
at the earliest possible date. Thanks
to the common sense of the representa-
tiyes of the people who saw how
strong the current of public opinion
was setting, the generally accepted an
ti-opium plank in the political platform
of the Republic remains intact and We
sincerely hope that the experience O
this session will result in the anti
opium plank remaining firm in 1T
present place for years to come.

The Mexican police attend closely to
their duties and are very polite. AT
night each policeman carries lantern
and this lantern is set out on the side
walk opposite wherever he may be
so it is possible to look down q

The First English cheaue.

The first known example OF an
Euglish cheque was drawn ia 1871
upon Charles Duncombe, then a
goldsmith's confidential clerk. 1t is
for f4S9, and consists OF an ordinary
slip OF paper, torn at the corner to
signify that it was cancelled. Dun
combe himself became famous
goldsmith, keeping running cashes"
and, in 1896, on retiring from bust
ness, bought the Helmsley estate
from the Duke of Buckingham for
100000. This cheque was drawn
upon him by his nominal master
that Alderman Bakewell, who was
then The leading goldsmith of
London; but Duncombe's fortune
was already making. He had be-
come banker to Lord Shaftesbury
who eight months or SO after he
date OF the cheque) gave him private
warning Of Charles IFS intention to
seize the exchequer, and thus en-
abled him to draw out a consider
able sum while others were ruined.

Magnetic Torpedoes.

Experiments are being made with
an invention for an American tor
pedo service, of which remarkable
results are expected. The torpedoes
now in existence, go far as their de-
strucLive qualities are concerned, are
perfect when a vessel is struck by
one of them, but should one OF them
miss, the torpedo is lost The de.
vice which is now being experiment
ed with consists of magnet, deli
cately constructed and intended to
be hung on an arm at the bow,
which is in turn connected with the
rudder. The idea Of the invention
is that, when approaching a vessel
the magnet will be attracted in that
direction, and in turning will move
the arm to which it is fastened and
so operate the rudder, thus steering
the torpedo toward the ship. 1t is
said that the magnet is so delicate
ly constructed that should it come
within 100 yards of the vessel it
would be effective. The torpedoes
will be painted water color, and
would be &c 1erally used at night,
when the enemy has extinguished
the lights aboard ship, The ques
tion has been raised as to whether
the magnet would not be attracted
to the vessel from which it is fred,
but the mechanism is arranged so
that the magnet will not be influ-
enced at all until it has reached a
certain distance. from the vessel. As
an Offset 10 these torpedoes, the
British Government, among others,
is said to be conducting experiments
with view to demagnetising war
ships f watches can be demagnet-
ised, it is thought that ironclads
may be also.

Concluded Not to Fight.

The Earl of March, who was
known as "Old O." on one occasion
was challenged to fight a duel by an
Irish sportsman Lord March APP
peared on the grounds accompanied
by second, surgeon and other wit
nesses. Great, however, was his sur
prise to see his opponent appear
with like retiuue to his own, but
increased by a third person, who
staggered under the weight of a
polished oak coffin, which he de-
posted on the ground end up, with
its lid facing Lord March and his
party. Surprise gave place to terror
when his lordship read the inscrp-
tion plate, engraved with his own
name and title, and the date and
year OF demise, which was the actual
day as yet scarcely warm. The Earl
at once approached his facetious
antagonist and upbraided him with
SO unseemy joke, to which the
Irishmsn replied: "Why, my dear
fellow, you are of course aware that
| never miss my man, aud as | find
myself in excellent trim for sport
this morning, | have not shadow
of doubt upon my mind that this
open box will shortly be better cal
culated for you than your present
dress" Lord March was so i'm
pressed by HE anita, onists confident
manner that peace was patched
up between them.

What France Drinks

During the last year nearly 4,3OO,-
100000 litres Of grape juice were
drunk, which averaged 1l2 litres a
persona litre is more than a pint
and a half, Paris heads the list
with the average of 264 litres a citi-
zen. In the N. w. districts the
figures fall as low as Z litres a year.
But here they make up in the con
sumption of cider for what they
have failed to accomplish with the
wine cup. The Msnche department
comes out first with the very re-
spectacle total of 4l9 litres Of cider
for each inhabitant, and all along
the Normandy coast aud towards
the Belgian frontier the average re-.
mains at very high figure. On the
other hand there are 80 departments
in France where no cider is drunk
at all, Coming to the spirit drink
ing, each inhabitant is represented
as disposing OF about four litres and
third in the course OF II month";.

AN "old ouriosity shop y

Japan, regarded as an cold curios-
ity shop" is no longer what it was
(says the British acting vice, Consul
at Tokio) The depletion Of genuine
works Of art is every year more
acutely felt, and the curio shops of
Toxic nowadays present but for
lorn appearance. To take the
pictorial art alone, values have
trebled in the last five years, old
color prints in particular (for which
there is no native demand) having
risen enormously in price, and many
dealers have had to retire from the
business for sheer lack of material,
for it is now only at the death OF a
private collector. that old ecreens
and pictures Of real value come on
the market in any quantity, aud
then only at almost prohibitive
prices. The continuing demand has
been partially met by ingenious imi-
tation--at which the Japanese have
always been adepts-but the frankly
modern will probably soon be found
to pay better than the spuriously
antique.

PROCLAMATION.
A year of peace aud prosperity
calls for gratitude to the Ruler Of
Nations.
Freedom from disaster and pesti-
lence, from local discord and for
eign menace during the past year
has given the country needed OPP
portunity for the development OF
policies looking to the furtherance
OF public interests.
Favorable seasons have rewarded
industry and enterprise with bounti-
full returns.
In view Of these and countless
other blessings which have been be-
slowed upon us, |, Sanford B. Dole,
President of the Republic OF Hawaii,
recommend that Thursday, the Goth
day OF this present month OF Novem-
Der, be set apart as day of national
thanksgiving to Almighty God, and
of prayer for the righteousness that
exslteth nation and the national
strength that cometh from chsrac-
ter in the individual.

The Cary Circle.

The Cary circle met last Saturday
afternoon at the home Of Mrs. VIM.
Gelino. The life, character and
works Of Nathaniel Hawthorne had
been the subject Of study for the
members during the past two weeks,
and the program which was rendered
proved conclusively that this study
on the part Of all had been earnest,
thorough and comprehensive in its
scope. The following was the pro.
gram rendered:

Final Quiz-Members
This Quiz is a regular feature al
each meeting where the study Of an
author has been completed. Saturday
it consisted Of lfty.two questions on
the life and works Of Hawthorne
Many Of these questions require much
study and research, yet the manner
in which they are answered and dis
cuSSed demonstrates the fact that the
Cary circle is truly a literary aSsO.
citation, rather than social. Such a
circle is a credit to any town. The
profit to be derived from such an
organization not only by its members
but by the community at large is
apparent. 1t is to be hoped that the
circle will be permanent one, which
is the intention of its organizers, and
that its influence in the creation and
cultivation of true literary spirit in
our community may ever increase.
By invitation Of Mrs. Frank H. Gill
more the circle will meet with her on
Saturday the 2lst. The following are
members: Mesdames Grace, Herrick.

Contagious
Blood Poison,

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
in the jewelry business at 926 Penn.
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is we'll and favorably known,
was a victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
bafled the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In recent letter he says: about
four years ago l contracted a severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before l was in terri
BILE condition. l Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.
Their treatment, which l took faith
fully for six months, cost me just three
hundred dollars, and left me worse than
when began it. Ny condition can

best be appreciated, when I state that
my throat and mouth were fullof sores
and my tongue was almost eaten away;
| had not taken solid food for three
months. My entire body was covered
with red blotches, my hands and feet
were sore and my hair was falling
out rapidly. Twas in truly pitiable
condition.
81 felt that l was incurable, and
was in great despair, when a friend
recommended S. S. s., stating that it
would certainly cure me. / began its
use, and when had finished the fourth
bottle, began to improve, and by the
time had finished eighteen bottles,
was thoroughly rid of the disease; of
course, was not sure that was cured,
but am now convinced, as no sign
of the disease has ever returned for
four years. S. S. S. is the best blood
remedy in the world, and my cure was
due solely and alone to it."
Contagious blood poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. 1t has always baffled the doc
tors, and, until the discovery of S. S. s.,
was incurable.
For fifty years S. S. S. has been cur
ing this terrible disease, even after all
other treatment failed. It is guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and one thou
sand dollars reward is offered for proof
to the contrary. s. s. S. never fails
to cure contagious blood poison, or
any other disease of the blood. If
you have blood disease, take a REM
edy which will not injure you. Be-
ware of mercury; don't do violence
to your system.

Wednesday night there was eighty

ties attending that it was the finest
amateur performance ever given in
Wichita.
Geo, R. Fultz, one of Sumner coun-
TVS most widely known and highly re-
spected citizens, left last Thursday for
Colorado Springs, where he expects
to enter business and will, in all prob
ability, make his future home. Mr..
Fultz' departure from Wellington is a
matter Of regret to his numerous
friends. He has resided here many
years and by his enterprise and activ-
ity in promoting oil public interests,
has won the esteem and goodwill of
his fellOw-citizenS. Generous to a
fault, he is unexcelled as a neighbor
and friend. We hope he may meet
with the most abundant prosperity
and success in his new home. His
family will remain, for the present,
in Wellington.

The next session of the senate
promises to be one of unusual inter-
est. Monday evening will occur the
semi-annual election and reorganiza-
tiOn Of that body. This will give a
chance and no doubt will exhibit
some keen and energetic lobbying and
wire pulling. After the reorganiza-
ton the senate will probably take up
the Cuban question and as there
seems to be almost as many ideas as to
how to deal with this delicate and
much moOted question some keen
discussion is anticipated. The in
diCatiOnS now point to the passage Of
a resolution directing Cleveland to
recognize Cuba as a free and in
dependent state. This gives the
members chance to air their de-
vOtion to liberty and the down.
