HANNA SLURS THE WEST.
People are Better Educated
on the Issues He Says.

Cleveland, Aug. 1O.-NationaI Chair
man of the Republican Party NJ. A.
Hanna was seen here Immediately on
his return.
After a weeks sojourn in the
East said Mr.. Hanna in answer to
the first question, Il can say that I am
very much pleased with the situation
as I view it. The people are enthusi-
astic for hard money and Mckinley,
and I see no obstacle in the way to
his carrying everything in the East.
One fact particularly impressed me.
That is the political activity which ex-
lists among all classes. They are bet
ter educated on the issues than the
people of the West. 1 had an excellent
opportunity to thoroughly canvass the
situation, coming as I did in contact
with SO many of the leaders, and I say
honestly that the situation is less COM
plicated than it has been, and the pros
poets are brighter than ever. I sue
ceeded, Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary, in all that I went to do, and
I feel perfectly satisfied with the out
look -

HAWAIIAN BONDS TO SELL.
An Agent Arrives in California With
Them-Kate Fields Effects.

San Francisco, Aug. 10.-The steam
ship Peru arrived last night from
Yokohama and Honolulu bringing the
following advices to the Associated
Press:
Honolulu, Aug. 2.-P. c. Jones, ex-
minister of finance, leaves for San
Francisco today to float the refunding
loan. He expects to sell nearly three
and one-half million worth of Hawai-
ian government bonds bearing four per
cent interest.
Consul Mills received nothing by the
last mail, from the friends of the late
Kate Field concerning the final dispo-
sitiOn of her body, and effects. A let
ter from George Riddle says that Mr.
Kohlsaat of the Chicago Times Herald

COFFEE UNPROFITABLE.
Consul at Vera Cruz Warns Ameri-
cans to Stay Away.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-ConsuI Schoepe
at Vera Cruz in a report to the state
department on a new tax placed by the
Vera Cruz legislature on coffee and to-
bacco planting, warns Americans
against embarking in the coffee-raising
industry and cites figures to show that
in those ports of Mexico with which he
is familiar the stories of great wealth
to be gained by coffee planters does not
apply. On land costing $40 an acre it
appears from his figures it would cost
1874 in four years to get 1913 in return.
He declares that the average annual
PRODUCTS nearer a half-pOund per three
acres than three pounds per acre, as
oftener stated.

By a passing sound steamer forced it

Although very busy man, DIR. K.
V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has
found time in which to write a great
book of over a thousand pages en-
titled, The Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser, in Plain English,
or Medicine Simplifed. Few books
printed in the English language
have reached so great a sale as has
this popular work, over $50, 600 cop
les having been sold at $1,5O each.
The profits on this enormous sale
having repaid the author for the
great amount of labor and money
expended on its production, he has
now decided to give away, absolute
ly free, 10000 copies of this valua-
BILE book, the recipient only being
required to mail to the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of Buf-
falo, N. Y, of which company he is
president, twenty-one (2D one.cent
stamps, to cover cost of mailing
only, and the book will be sent post
paid. 1t is veritabIe medical IL
brary, complete in one volume. It
contains 1908 large pages, and over
300 Illustrations, some of them in
colors. The free edition is precisely
the same as that sold at $l.50, eX-
cept only that the books are bound
in strong MANILA paper covers, in
stead of cloth. 1t is not often that
our readers have an opportunity to
obtain a valuable book on such gen
,erous terms, and we predict that
few will miss availing themselves of
the unusual and liberal offer to
which we have called attention.

formed an interesting feature of a

Longchamps, Paris. 1t was not
evident where the light came from,
but every object in the room was
luminous. The ceiling sparkled as
with diamonds. Chairs, carpet,
pictures, flowers, teacups emit
ted luminous rays. Nor were these
fascinating CLEANS limited to the
room and its furnishings, but the
gowns of the women were also
brilliantly phosphorescent, while
their compilations CLEANED like
pearls flooded with moonlight.
As this idea threatens to become
a fad of no small proportions, it
should be known by women who
lohg to emit this spOOklike radiance
that there is a luminous face pow
der which is said to fulfill its mission
admirably. There is also in the
market a luminous starch with
which the clever laundreSs can give
laces, muslins and all the dainty
articles of feminine attire a per-
petual source of radiance. The idea
of an invisibly lighted room, its at
mosphere charged with luminous
rays, is very taking one, though
it may be questioned whether phos-
phorescent compilations and self
luminous linen collars would be be-
coming to all types of women.-N,
