DEAR SIRS: Our exhibition of the
New Disc Plow in broom corn at this
place today was not only a success but
complete surprise to all the farmers
present, and was an agreeable surprise
to myself in that sort of work. [ talked
with every farmer at the exhibition,
and the majority of them said the pillow
was worth all it cost just to Flow
broom corn. Just think how absurd it
would be to try to pillow in heavy broom
corn without breaking or raking and
burning the stalks, but the Disc Pillow
will do it, and do it we'll From what
have seen of this pillow l think it is the
only plow, for broom corn, at least

The Kamehameha concert of
Saturday night, given for the Ath-
letic and Alumni associations of
that institution, was another IL
IustratiOn of how we'll Hawaiian
boys can sing under good train
ing, showing in connection with
their understanding of harmony
and Interpretation of the music
presented, the requisite factor of
self-pOssessiOn, which at once sets
the audience at ease and puts
them in the proper mood for en-
jOyment of what they have to list
en- TO. If people who attended the
concert did so with the expecta-
ton of listening TO something
worth hearing, they had that ex-
pectatiOn fulfilled and surpassed,
as was evidenced by the frequent
applause and encOfes.
AS announced, the concert was
held out of doors in the softening
influence of the night, and away
from the bright glare of hall
lights. 1t is true there were fire.
quent sprinkles of rain, but not
sufficient to drive people away.
The wide driveway directly in
front of Bishop Hall was used for
chairs, while at the edge of this
and almost opposite the main en-
trance was the music platform,
decorated with varieties of ferns
and palms. A line of electric
lights in various cOlOrs were sus-
pended at different heights from a
crOss-piece at the rear. The box
es in the right wing of Bishop
Hall, both above and below, were
comfortably filed, while the
chairs upon the driveway, of
which there were from six to sew
en- hundred, were nearly all Occu
pied. In the first part of the
program there were selections de-
serving of special mention. The
negro melodies, "Great Day" and
plantation jingle" by the Kane
hameha Glee Club, put the audi |
ence in a happy mood for the re-
mainder of the program. These
selections, as we'll as the rest of
the singing by the Glee Club, were
creditable on account
of the clear enunciatiOn, giving |
every one the benefit of a good un-
of the music. The
mixed choruses, "MOuntaineers,"
by the Preparatory chorus and
Glee Club, together with the
''Tar's Song" by the Manual
chorus. were we'll rendered, the
voices of the young boys adding
Just the proper touch to make
them effective. The Alumni Glee
Club sang "Malanui Anu Ka Ma
koni." and in answer to an encore
gave a yodling selection, for
which they paid the penalty of be-
ing sentenced to sing another
song. No number on the program
was better enjoyed than '"The
Bird" a glee with soprano obli-
cato by Miss Richards.

HARMON is HEARD.
Attorney General Defends Right Of Fed
eral Interference.


Washington, Sept. l2.-Attorney-
General Harmon in response to numer-
Gus requests has given out for publ
cation an official opinion on the clause
of the Chicago platform opposing fed
eral interference in local labor troubles.
A synopsis follows:
He assumes that the declaration of the
Chicago platform, frequently reiterated by
Mr. Bryan, alludes to the Chicago strike.
and he has thoroughly analysed the right
of the president to interfe-- IN that disturb
ance over the hea is of the Illinois state au-
thorities The Encouragement points to
the fact that the deral interference plank
of the Chicago platform was not inserted
in the platform Of the populist or silver
parties. both Of which also nominated Mr.
Bryan for president
He declares that the attitude OF Nj
BRYAN in this matter Is far more serious
than the money question or any other Ques-
ton now before the people Mr.. Bryan has
insisted that the right Of the federal gov
eminent to suppress riots does not operate
until the state authorities have demanded
federal assistance. The attorney general
declares that this is an absurd view OF the
question and he quotes the constitution OF
the United States to prove his assertion.
He says that the president in Queli.ng the
Chicago riots acted by the authority Of
the same statutes under which the re-
beIlion was suppressed. H, says Mr. Bry-
ans doctrine thar this law is unconstitu-
tional is more dangerous thsn the doctrine
of secession
The BRYAN doctrine, he declares, would re-
duce the governm ent's power to mere MINI
fcry He says II was no more intended to
make the general government dependent
upon the states with respect to matters
committed to il than II was to make the
states subject to the general government
with respect to the rights reserved TO them.
This he adds, is well known TO lawyers and
students OF constitutional law, but nay not
be clear to the people. II was evidently not
clear to the trainers OF the Chicago plat
form. and has NOT been discovered by the
candidates who stand on that platform
Attorney General Harmon in this con-
nection quotes from the Congressional Rec
ord a resolution offered n the senate dur
ing the Chicago strike by Senator Daniel,
of Virginia, and adopted without apparent
dissent, in which the president was in
dorsed and praised for the prompt meas
ures that he adopted to put down the Chi
cogo riots Senator Daniel, who wrote
this resolution, was one of the men who
wrote the Chicago platform
Mr.. Harmon says he believes Mr.. Bryan
has been inadvertently led to error In his
statements about federal authority. He
has too much respect, he says, for Mr..
Bryan's ability as a lawyer TO believe that
he questions the right of President Cleve-
land to interfere in the Chicago riots. He
has too much respect for Mr.. Rryans honor
and patriotism to believe that if elected
president he would not do as Mr.. Cleveland
did if the situation should srise.

HONOREO A HERO.
Commodore Perry's Victory Celebrated at
Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., Sept II. The pro-
longed celebration of Cleyeland's CEN
tennial finally closed Thursday. 1t was
the anniversary of the opening of the
famous naval engagement on Lake Erie
that ended September Ii, 1913, in Com
modore Oliver Hazard Perry, as COM
mander of a United States squadron, de-
feating the British under Commodore
Barclay; and the closing demonst-a-
ton of the centennial was appropriate
~ timed in recognition of this mem
orable event. The city was crowded
with visitors, the influx being second
only to that of Founders day. A ma
tional salute was fired at sunrise, and
at $3.50 the public exercises opened in
the Central armory. Mayor Mckisson
delivered the address of welcome and
introduced Gov. A. S. Bushnell, who,
as president of the day, delivered an
interesting address. Speeches were also
made by Gov. Lippitt, of Rhode Island,
and other distinguished guests, and an
ode dedicated to Perry's victory was
read by Frederick Boyd Stevenson.
After the exercises the Perry monu-
ment in Wade park, which had been
decorated with flowers, was visited by
large numbers of people.

TORNADO STRIKES PARIS.
Great Damage Done in the French Capi-
tai by Wind.

Paris, Sept. ia violent tornado
swept over parts of this city at 2:30
o'clock Thursday afternoon. Paris is
much stirred up and excited over the
disaster. The prefecture Of police has
issued statement that only one person
was killed outright in the cyclone. A
large ward in the Hotel Dieu is full of
the victims, two of whom died at
night, and several there and in other
hospitals are IN precarious condi-
ton. 1t is a curious fact that the cy-
clone chiefly affected the small area
lying around the Palais de Justice and
the Hotel de Vile. NJ. Moline, the pre-
mier, visited the scenes of the devasta-
ton in company with NJ. Lepine, the
project of police.
Numerous newspaper kiosks were
overturned and the inmates injured.
The roof of the Opera Comique was
blown down. The Analogue Comique
and the Folies Dramatiques theaters
were both damaged. Twenty-nine
horses were killed. Eight beer houses
were wrecked. There was not the
slightest disturbance in the Champs
Elysee, the Madelaine, the Arc de Tri-
omphe and the bourse districts beyond
q heavy rain.
The number of minor casualties and
injuries to persons is large, and further
reports are constantly being received.
Over so injured have thus far been re-
ported. Several men and women had
their skulls fractured by the falling o.
some gates behind which they had
sought shelter from the storm. A cab
driver, who had taken refuge in his cab,
and his horses were killed together AMI
the cab demolished. Nine members OF
the staff of La France who were leaving
the Tribunal de Commerce when the
storm suddenly broke were all seriously
injured, one having his skull fractured.
At least dozen persons were carried
bodily into the Seine from bridges and
from the quais and were rescued with
great difficulty, several being injured
and left in a critical condition, So that
they had to be taken to the hospitals.
The breaking of the storm was ac'
companied by many demonstrations of
fright by individuals and by crowds.

The lowering sky, the bowling of the
tempest and the flying debris fright
ened the crowds in the streets out of
self-control. Everybody started to run,
without much regard TO obstacles, per-
sonal or otherwise, that might come in
their way. There was shouting and
screaming to add 10 the confusion. The
damage to property was widespread
and serious. The first tempest of wind,
which did most of the damage, was i'm
mediately succeeded by torrents Of rain,
and cellars all over Paris are flooded

TIED THE RECORD.
John X. Gentry PAGES a Mile at Glen's
Falls, n. ", in 2:01 1-2.


Glen's Falls, n. Y, Sept. Ia per-
feet day and fast track drew crowd of
5000 persons to the Glen's Falls race
track Thursday afternoon. The event
of the day was the match race between
John E. Gentry and Star Pointer. The
race from start to finish was of the
closest and most exciting order, and
when after the second heat, which Cen
try won by short head, the time,
2:01k, was marked up and it was real
lied that the world's record was e4ualed.
the spectators madly cheered the king
of PAGERS and his driver, Andrews. The
horses got away on the second score,
Star Pointer at the pole. He led to the
home stretch, when Gentry slowly
forged ahead, inch by inch, and won the
first heat by nose. Time, by quar-
tiers: :31H, 1:03A, 1:35, 2:o3lA. In
the second heat the excitement cul-
minated. The horses got away on the
first score and went around the track
neck and neck with the precision of
machines, neither gaining nor losing
in the breathless silence of the crowd.
Just before reaching the wire Gentry
made another magnificent spurt and
went under the wire neck ahead. amid
wild enthusiasm. The time, by quar-
tiers, was: 81, 1:o2. 1872, 2:01h, the
last quarter being the fastest ever
paced. The announcement that the
world record was equaled was received
with renewed cheers by the crowd,
which was beside itself with enthu-
siasm. The victory was no less credit
TO Star Pointer. who gained on his pre-
vious record more than did Gentry.
The climax was over with this heat.
The horses were tired and the race
seemed, by virtual agreement, to belong
to Gentry, who won the third easily
by a length. Time, 2:055z. The drivers
were Andrews for Gentry, McClary for
Star Pointer, and both are loud in praise
of the track, now proven, according to
one trainer, the fastest in the country.
The race was for $1,000 purse.
