years of it's existence the enormous sum of
S411, SGT ,625.
This is the Oldest and largest life insurance
company in this country. 1t did a larger
business in 1895 than any other company
and increased it's business in this State

ness men of the State and, of the country
are insured in this great institution.
An intelligent business man is wanted IN

was represented by Minister Daman,
Attorney-Gener W. o. Smith, and
Judge J. A. Magoon' for the Board of
Prison Inspectors. The attorney-gen-
eral read the pardons, and made few
remarks in kind tones, which were
answered by Major Seward with senti-
ments of regard for the clemency ex-
tended by the government, the others
showing their appreciation by grasp
ing the hands of the officials. A large
crowd of interested natives we're gath
cred at the outside gates, and when
the Hawaiian prisoners emerged from
their confinement of eleven months,
they were greeted with loud cheers.
"The Republic is stronger to-day
than ever, was the universal opinion.
That act of clemency on the part of
Dole will heal over the old sores, and
we will soon be united people," said
one of the spectators.
This statement was born out by the
number of royalists present at Presi-
dent Dole's New Year reception, the
hearty congratulations and wishes OF
"a happy New Year, and many of them
both to the head of the Republic and
the Republic itself.
President Dole's New Year recep-
ton, Just referred to, was held in the
Council Chamber of the Executive
building, and was one of the most i'm
portant and magnificent events in
Honolulu society the writer has had
the pleasure of witnessing. President
and Mrs Dole showed that courtesy,
dignity, and at the same time democ-
racy due from the heads of republic
and leaders in society. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dole are in the prime of life, gifted
with strong common sense, and what
he possesses in executive ability she
has as leader of society. Mrs. Dole
is graceful and beautiful lady, noted
for kindness of heart, and is as much
admired as her excellent husband
Like him she is one of the few people
in this world whose head cannot be
turned by high political or social posi-
tons and honors.
Surrounding the President were the
staff consisting of Colonel Fl. Soper
Major George G. Potter, Major G. 2
Iankea, Captain J. W. Pratt, Captain
NJ. A. Kinney, and a number of ladies
representing the beauty and fashion
of the city, making altogeather brill
liant company. Among the distin
guished visitors were the foreign
ministers and consuls in the city
During the afternoon Mrs. Dole, Mrs
Paul Newman, Mrs. Lawrey, and sew
eral other ladies received the youns

hall. Refreshments were served from
twelve to two, and from three to fiv
> hundred persons were present, includ
ing the principal business men of tn
city.
In the evening concert was give1
in the same building, which was at
tended by a large and appreciativ
audience, and was in every way sue
cess. The Y. NJ. @. A. orchestra O
twenty members rendered some excel
lent music.

any city of it's size in America:

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as, they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness,and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inf1ared condition of the mucous lin
ing of the EustaChian Tube. When this tube
is infamed YOU have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inf1amed condition of the musCous
surfaces.

partments are sons of missionaries.
During the latter part of Christmas
week a rumor got abroad that Presi-
dent Dole was going to begin the new
year by granting free and full par
don to all the remaining political pris-
oners. He had pardoned seven on
Thanksgiving Day, but eight of those
who had been the, most dangerous re-
bells in the outbreak Of January, 1895,
still remained on "The Reefs" as the
prison here is called.
The rumor proved to be we'll founded.
President Dole, who is one of the
kindest men l ever met, had deter
mined to set free the remaining pris-
oners, who we're Chas. L. Gulick, w.
T. Seward, John F. Bowler, Robert
w. Wilcox, joni III. Wise, Joseph

Day, the eight prisoners we're called
from their cells into the prison yard,
and there heard their pardons read

efforts, is attested by the sale OF
millions of bottles annually and by

manufacturing and selling II laxative

pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, MS they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained

The following story was related by a
Dardistan man of the name of Ghalib Shah,
residing at a village near Aston, called Par
ishing. He was one night looking out
whether any bear had come into his from
ba" field. He saw that u bear was there,
and that he with his paws alternately took
pawful of 'tromba," blew the chaff away
and ate hastily. The man was blind Of one
eye and ran to his hut to get his gun. He
came out and pointed it at the bear The
animal, who saw this, ran rou|l the blind
side of the mans face, snatched the gun
out of his hand and threw it away.
The bear and the man then wrestled for
time, but afterward both gave up the
struggle and retired The man, after he
had recovered himself, went to look for the
gun, the stock of which he found broken,
The matchstring by which the stock had
been tied to the barrel had gone an burning
all night and had been the cause of the gun
being destroyed. The son of that man still
lives at the village and tells this story
which the people affect to believe,-Dr
