CoNsUL-GENERAL MILLS will send the re-

for cremation, there being no facilities at
Honolulu.
ALL departments of the big Amoskeag
Manufacturing Company at Manchester, N.
August 8, started up last Thursday with
full set Of hands. These mills employ
5000 people.
A FIERCE gale swept over Mount Wash
ington last Thursday morning. The wind
reached velocity of ninety miles an hour
at seven o'clock and the morning train
down Mount Washington railway was
omitted. A hard rain-storm prevailed
through the mountain region.
A STORM Of almost unprecedented fury
swept over portions of the South last We'd
nesday night. In Washington it Frustrated
telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires in every direction. The wall of a
building, the erection Of which was nearly
completed, on Pennsylvania Avenue be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets col
lapsed. 1t was a building 1856 feet high.
The west wall was blown in and crushed
into the roofs lof two adjoining buildings
one saloon and the other a lunch room.
Several people were for time buried in
ruins, but, with one exception, were I'M
hurt In Savannah, Ga, dozen people
were killed and property valued at 81 ,000,-
GOO was destroyed.
For over an hour last Wednesday night
the City of Lancaster, Pa, was visited by
the severest wind-storm in its history. 1t is
impossible to estimate the number of
buildings wrecked or the monetary loss.
The greatest single loss is that of the
Pennsylvania railroad bridge across the
Susquehanna at Columbia. Nothing is left
but the piers of the middle iron span. 1t
was mile and quarter long and was
said to be the largest covered bridge in the
world. In the city the streets are literally
covered with debris buildings are unroofed
and wires tangled. Reports indicate that
outside districts suffered to a greater ex-
tent. Every section reports tobacco sheds
destroyed, school-houses and churches
damaged and private residences unroofed.
A DISASTROUS freight wreck occurred last
Thursday at Tilson, Pa, on the eastern
slope Of the mountains, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. The entire train crew, con-
sstipg of the engineer, fireman, conductor,
two brakemen, fiagman, and two tramps,
who were stealing ride, were killed Thirty
four cars loaded with coal, together with
the engine and caboose, were piled up on
the track and traffic was entirely sus-
pended. Wires are down and but meager
details have been received. Between two
cars were found the bodies of the two
tramps, crushed into shapeless mass. The
bodies OF the trainmen have not yet been
found. They were evidently buried deep

Wisdom in Africa.

During the recent troubles in
J Johannesburg, South Africa, one Of the
first acts of the officials was to close
every saloon, compensate the owners
for their stock and then destroy the
liquor by pouring it on the ground. A
bill prohibiting the selling or giving
strong drink to any natives in the
transvaal has been adopted by the Sec
ond and first Volksraad. This action
has caused great satisfaction to the
mining industry.

in the wreck. Whether the train got be-
yond the control Of the brakemen in the
tunnel is not known, but railroad men say
that, owing to the condition Of the track
from the effects Of the storm, 1t would be
almost impossible to control such long
train on such steep grade.
MANY political speakers, clergymen, sing

value as preventive is only equaled by its

Fast Locomotives,

It has been claimed that the cele- brated Empire worlds fair express made 112 miles an hour, but the state ment fails entirely of authorization. The figure of 1927 miles per hour for short distances appears to be nearer the mark, and even if there were an error of a second the rate would still have been 100 miles an hour. Between Jersey City and Philadelphia it is a common occurrence for the engines hauling the Blue Line trains to reach 90miles an hour. Speeds of over S4 miles an hour are often made by the Ph;la- delphia & Reading and Central New Jersey flyers In England 8 Great Northern train has made S4. miles an hour; while a Midland train between London and Scotland has run up to the same speed. The London & North western has gone up to SIS. The con- tinent of Europe does not appear to af ford any examples at all approximat ing the American and English records fact attributable to the conservative dislike of the government officials tt high speed rather than to actual ina bility.

 l saw the other day, at the window of beautiful house in New York, what seemed to me a very unique flower pot It consisted of the rough branch or trunk of a tree about two feet long and ten inches in diameter The bark, moss and rough knots were left on, the inside hollowed out and filled with rich earth, aud in this, evidently, seeds of quick growing vines had been planted; for as it hung in the sunny bay window. suspended by gal vanized picture wire from either end. vines twined upward and hung down and sent out little shoots toward the sun and rioted about in the most charming confusion.
 The accompanying sketch will show how the work is done. Blooming plants might be placed III tlem. I,asturtiums and morning glories in a very sunny window would give delightful results. small logs set on end might be used in the same way, and would be in- iinitely prettier than the ordinary flower pot.
 In summer this idea might be car ried out in 6 variety of ways.

TO SEE PLANTS GROW.
Experiments by Which Their Growth May
 Be Both Seen and Heard.

There are several ways of rendering the growth of plants both audible and visible, but the modus operandi in the latest improved" experiments is as fol- lows: In order to make the growth of a very vigorous plant visible, fine platinum wire should be carefully at tached to the growing part. The other end of this wire should be attached to Q pencil pressing gently against a drum which is being driven by clockworll If the growth be uniform a straight line is marked on the paper, but the very slightest increase is shown by inclined tracing.
 A slight modification of this arrange ment renders the growth audible. In this experiment the drum must be covered with platinum foils of certain width, and separated from each other by spaces about one-eighth of an inch.
 These strips of platinum should be made to complete the circuit of gal vanic battery, to which an electric bell has been attached. In this case the bell is kept continually ringing while the plant is growing the height of the width of the strips used, and is silent while the pointer is passing over the spaces between the strips of metal. The growing of corn may be heard direct by means of the micro phone, and there are those who declare they have heard it without any arti- icial assistance whatever.

ANGlOMANIA.
How American Woman Rebuked a
 Suobbish Friend.

Suobbish Friend.
 An American woman returned to New England after living for a season in London, and wearied her friends with her affectations and mannerisms, says Youths Companion. She was ashamed of her own country and did not hesitate to say so. She not only initiated English customs, dress, ex- pressions, spelling and pronunciation, but offered offensive evidence of her acute attack of Anglomania in con- temptuous references to everything American.
 One of her friends undertook to ad- minister social discipline in a unique way. She sent out invitations to lunch party in honor of the returned traveller and collected large company in her drawing-room. After the guest had been cordially welcomed, the doors in the dining-room were opened.
 The room had been decorated with bunting and the flowers were massed in effects of red, white and blue There were flags everywhere, in the chande- Her, on the mantel and on every bit of plate or china displayed on the table. The table reserved for the guest was draped with the national colors.
 Never, perhaps, was a broader hint conveyed at a social recept:,n that it is ill bred and bad form to bc ashamed of ones country.

GOOD RECORD SOUTH OF US.

Among the notable facts of the year just past the general and comparative tranquility of the republics south of the United States is attracting notice and favorable comment. No year for several past brought such encouraging reports of prosperity and quiet in these usually turbulent countries as 1895.
 There is plenty of pluck and intelli- gence among the Central and South Americans They are almost all brave people and the ruling classes are among the best educated in the new world. The natural resources of the various countries composing South and Central America are among the finest on earth and there is no reason but one why these southern peoples should not be uniformly and remarkably prosper ous. That reason is the instability of their governments But last year was comparatively free from revolution down there With the exception of Ecuador, as recently pointed out by the Washington Post, where a revolu- tion was successful, peace has gen. orally and proftably prevailed. A number of disputs contrary to the usual custom, it is noted, have been settled by arbitration and diplomacy.
 This all augurs well for the future Once the people of these little republics taste the sweets of peace and tranquil ity long enough to reap a commercial advantage from stability of govern ment it will be only the more difficult to raise the standards of revolution and when wars and revolutions have ceased there, as they have in Mexico, the same bounding development, as seen now in Mexico, will be seen fur
 
 ther south. It will be fortunate for these southern nations, and especially fortunate for US, when the conditions noted last year down there shall be- come permanent It will relieve us primarily of the constant fear of be- coming embroiled in their disputes among themselves and with European powers. Secondarily, it will render possible a closer cultivation of con- mercial relations.
 Next to the prosperity and peace in our own territories the peace and pros perity and development of Central and South America are objects of important concern to the United States.

remained In an outer room talking to
the woman through the open door. But
the latter was not to be coaxed into rob-
ing herself she laughed and jeered mt

on her. Thus matters remained for some
time, until the sergeant'ss bnsy brain
conceived plan of operation that prom
ised success. He sent one OF the curious
crowd that had gathered about for an
express wagon. When that arrived be
made a sudden dart into the room where
the woman lay, quickly wrapped her In

the waiting wagon in the bottom Of
which she remained quietly enough
until the station was reached. Sergeant
Ben has always been proud or his inge-
nuity in circumventing that particular
woman.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Sad Fate of a TwO-Year-Old Child
on Brook Street.
Driver of the Truck That Killed Her Ar
rested and Held In $4,000.

At4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon Mary,
the 2-year-old daughter OF John Burgess,
who resides at Brook street, was run
over by a loaded truck owned by Charles
n. Weaver and driven By Edward Lup-
ton, and was instantly killed. The little
one and her older brother were playing
in front OF their homo when Lupton
drove along the street and the first he
knew of the accident was when a woman
was seen at window shouting to him.
Mr.. Lupton had pair of spirited horses
and when he saw what had happened he
called to the brother to take the child
from under the truck, az hc could not
leave the animals. Mr.. Lupton then
drove to the stables and reported the sad
accident to Mr.. Weaver. Medical Ex-
aminer Perkins was called and nfter
learning the circumstances decided that
perhaps Lupton was driving in a careless
manner and reported the case to Coroner
Lincoln, who issued an order for Lupton g
arrest. Lupton was taken into custody
last evening by Detective Merrill and
Patrolman Frank Anthony, and was
arraigned before Judge Sweetland. He
was held until Saturday in the sum OF
s5O0O MIR. Weaver furnished the re-
quired bail.
MIR. Lupton has the reputation OF being
a careful driver, and is looked upon by his
employers as such.
