Tbs manufacturers of
Pears soap have made a
fortune, not alone through
advertising their wares, but
by having their wares pure.
Ivory soap in the United
States has had an enormous
sale for the same reasons.
But the Self-Washing Soap
made in Monmouth. Illinois,
is destined to supercede
both Pears and Ivory, be-
cause it is absolutely pure.
We have used this brand for
washing and toilet and find
it elegant.
The feature in this Self
Washing Soap is the absolute
freedom from ingredients
which are damaging to the
hands or clothing. A woman
may wash for a full day and
not feel any bad effects. AS
it requires no rubbing the
tired feeling which follows
a washing with ordinary
soap is avoided.
With us,ithaS another good
feature; it's cheap. We sell
you four cakes for a quarter
"a dozen for seventy cents.

Forces in Abyssinfa Cease Fighting for
the Present.

Forces in Abyssinia Cease Fighting for
the Present.
ROME, Italy, April 1.-The report re-
ceived here today that King Menelek
and all but one of his chiefs had re-
treated from Adowa is confirmed by
later advices, which add that Menelek
will spend the Abyssinian Easter at
Magdala, and will thence proceed to
Shoa, where he will pass the rainy
season.
1t is believed that all of the Italian
troops will withdraw to Massowah. Two
thousand Italians who were captured
by Menelek's forces have been taken to
Shoa, where Major Salza, the Italian
officer who was sent to deal with the
Abyssinian king, and Menelek, will
continue the negotiations for peace and
the ransom of the prisoners.
Great feastings have been ordered in
Shoa in view Of the return of Menelek,
who is expected to arrive there by
Whitsuntide.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
Chairman Dickey Favors a Bill.
HIlp Deserving Poor.

MR.. EDITOR:-I wish TO say word
in regard TO that part of the tax law
which allows persons who have not paid
their personal taxes TO be imprisoned
and forced to work their taxes out al
30 cents day.
This is a necessary law, as there are
some who will never pay their taxes
otherwise But 1 think that the law
should be made as lenient as possible
on account of poor people who are I'M
able to get work sufficient to sustain
themselves and at the same time get
money enough ahead to pay their taxes.
Five dollars is very large sum to a
poor man out Of work.
1 would suggest that a clause should
be added to the law eXempting such
taxpayers from wearing the striped
suit, the emblem of crime, while work
ing out their taxes when arrested.
The amendment offered by Senator
Hooking yesterday was an excellent
one, and l was surprised to see so many
opposed to it. There used TO be law
allowing taxes to be worked out but it
was repealed, probably because it in
terfered with plantation labor. Now,
however, the rate of 80 cents day
would surely not interfere with planta-
ton labor, as labOrers are paid from
$14 to SIS, with houses and wood free;
ard surely an honest man too poor 10
Ply his taxes ought to have an oppor-
pihity to work them out at low rate
\ rtead OF going to Jail.
As chairman of Makawao Road Board

liable number of poor people to work

and l considered that l saved money
for the Government at the same time
that l enabled some deserving poor TO
work out their taxes without donning
a striped suit. My recollection is that
not a single person was forced to work
out his taxes in Jail in Makawao dis
trict last year.
1 trust that the Legislature will take
a different view. of the matter before
the final passage of the bill

THE ARCHBISHOPS.

The archbishops Of the Catholic
Church held their annual meeting yes
terday afternoon at the Catholic Uni.
versity, in Mcmahon Hall, in Washing
ton.
The principal matters OF interest
which were dealt with by the arch
bishops were the provisions made for
the Catholic University, the distribu-
ton of the money for the Indian mis-
sion schools and the adoption of a mo-
ton to revise the catechism.
The Indian school subject will be
considered to-day in Baltimore, TO
which city those in charge Of this spe.
cial matter have adjourned. Those
who will consider the support of the.e
schools are Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Ryan, Archbishop Corrigan,
and Archbishop Kahn, representing the
church.
The parochial school question did
not come up for consideration, as had
been expected, and the expressions
were general among members Of the
hoard after the meeting that this sub
iect had ceased to be source of differ
ence or veXation.
In reference to the catechism, it was
decided to revise the one now in use,
which was adopted by the Third Plen-
ary Council of Baltimore, and the mat
ter was placed in the hands OF Arch
bishop Kain, of st. Louis.

MIR. CARLISLE IN KENTUCKY.

MIR. CARLISLE IN KENTUCKY.
Secretary Carlisle made the first Of
his series Of Kentucky speeches at Gov
iugton last night. Odd Fellows Hall,
where he spode, but which is not a
large one, was crowded.
Mr.. Carlisle was received with ap-
plause when he appeared on the stage.
This was followed by vociferous cheers
for Bryan from the crowd in the rear
of the hall, who also Kissed the Secre-
tary.
The cheers continued for some time
after Secretary Carlisle began to speak,
completely drowning his voice, so those
nearest him on the stage could scarcely
hear his words. At the same time a
crowd occupied the street and rent the
air with shouts for Bryan.
The interruption was repeated at
frequent intervals during the entire
speaking. Now and then a man on
the outside would shout, Carlisle, the
traitor !"
After Mr.. Carlisle began his speech
ha stopped and begged the turbulent
crowd to leave the hall. The disturb
ers did not leave, but they interrupted
him afterward less frequently.
While Secretary Carlisle was inter-
rupted continuously during his speech
and eggs were thrown about the hall,
four being thrown at him, the most dis.
orderly scene was at the close of
the meeting, when crowds gathered
about the exit with insulting remarks.
There were many noisy people on the
street and they were in such spirit as
to threaten violence as we'll AS insult to
the secretary. A counter demonstra.
! ton was held by the democrats in the
street in front OF the building.
In his speech Mr.. Carlisle said the
government should be taken out of the
| banking business by retiring aud can
| ceiling every one of the notes issued by
it, thus forever stopping the demand
upon the treasury for their redemption
in gold or silver"
After the meeting the mayor and

tary Carlisle to the residence OF MIR.
