On his arrival in san Francisco
Theo. H. Davies was interviewed by
Call reporter with the following re-
suit:

was for a long time her guardian,
but she is of age now; in fact she is
20 instead of IS years old. The Prin-
cess has been at Mentone for some
time and Will probably remain there
for some time yet.
The Legislature of Hawaii, which
recently convened, has voted her a
pension of $4,000 a year. 1t is the first
money given her, for since the revolu
ton she has not received a penny.
No, the Princess has not a large es-
tate of her own. She has only little
private land. All the old estates of the
royal family are now vested in Mr..
Bishop, who is now here. His wife,
who was of the royal family, gave away
good deal of property in different
ways.
do I think the present form of gov
ernment in Hawaii is permanent? Well,
as understand the Government, it does
not lay claims to permanency as it is.
1t is simply seeking an alliance with
the United States. Whatever may be
the ultimate outcome of the matter, it
IS not claimed for the Government that
it is permanent, though it might be-
come permanent.
''The first Legislature, now in session,
is trying to arrange the finances in a
better way. 1t has only got fairly start
ed thus far.
Hawaii gives evidence of becoming
quite prosperous. There will be larger
crop of sugar this year than usual. For
two years we have had drouths. This
year has been particularly favorable,
and the sugar crop is large and the
prices good.
THE crop of Cuba has fallen from an
average product Of 1 ,0000 900 tons in an
ordinary year to but 10000 tons this
year The reason is because of the war |
which has almost totally ruined the
sugar crop OF Cuba. The Hawaiian peo-
pie are feeling encouraged at the pres
ent prices for sugar, and you know there |
everything depends on sugar.
"a great many people in Hawaii have |
gone into coffee recently, and the pro-
duct of coffee down in those Islands |
will be materially increased during the |
next few years.

themselves. their families, as we'll as
beneftting the country at larga by
their most assiduous habits OF work,
and their progress in education.
The committee asceTtains that the
Portuguese and other natiOnalities are
ben flied in obtaining homes for them
selves. as well as their families, by the
Land Act, passed by the special ses-
sion Of the Legislature in 1895, and TO
De found in Sections and Z of said
Act.
1t is therein stated how they are to
obtain homes which they have not
heretofore obtained, without any con-
sideration therefor. These homes or
homesteads cover about eight acres OF
good land, suitable for agricultural
purposes. These people could also ap-
ply for larger homesteads at the most
nominal price.
The committee believes that the re-
yiyal of the Land Act is a step in en-
couraging Iaborers from European
countries to come to these shores with
their families.
The committee believes further that
the Executive has the same under their
immediate consideration, thereby Civ
ing encourag cement to the immigration
of laborers from European countries to
these islands.
The committee recommends that the
petition be laid on the table until bill
on the subject is introduced.

Surely Nest Welcome News to Sufferers
From Female Complaints.

1t is a. fact that our women who
consequently weak, tired, nervous,
dragged-out and full of pains and
aches, do not have the same oppor
tunity to be cured as do the residents
of the great ci:i les where the most sue
cessful specialists in female diseases
reside In other words, our women
are debarred from seeking a cure by
the great and skilled physicians owing
to the cost of travel to the large city
and the high fees charged by such
specialists.
Here, therefore, is a chance for the
sick and suffering women Of our com
munity which should not be lost. DR..
Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New
York City, who has the largest prac
tice in the world and who is without
doubt the most successful specialist in
curing female complaints, offers to
give free consultation by mail to all
women suffering from these distress
ing weaknesses. discharges, pains and
Irregularities. You have the privilege
of consulting DIR. Greene by letter
describing yonr complaints and he
will, after carefully considering your
condition, send a letter carefully ex-
pldl1tDg OH Soui cyhP'1oliio, tO1iibS
you everything about your complaints
SO plainly that you will understand
exactly what ails you. He will also
give you his advice, based upon his
vast experience and wonderful sue
cess in treating such cases, as to Just
what to do to get cured. All this will
cost you nothing and you can thus
have consultation with the best known
and acknowledged most successful
specialist in the world without leaving
home and at no expense whatever.
The doctor is the discoverer of that
greatest of all known medicines, Dr..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, and he has discovered many
other most valuable remedies. Write
to him now about your case, for this is
a chance to get cured which you may
never have again.

Rev. Jas. A. Weston has returned to

talked with son of Marshall Michael
Ney of France, who was NapOleon's
"Bravest of the Brave" and who was
Peter Stuart Ney, the school teacher of
South and North Carolina, who is
buried in Rowan county, N. c., says
the Press and Carolinian. He found
the old gentleman who was SO years old
on Saturday, the Goth of February, in
perfect good health, being now 50 years
of age. He came to North Carolina in
1887 and-met his father, who gave him
$1,000 and sent him to Philadelphia,
Pa, and there he entered Jefferson
Medical College and graduated and
practiced medicine. He however, went
under an assumed name which is a long
one. He has written history. which
he has consigned to Rev. Maj. Weston,
who will not diyulge any Of the partic-
ulars about it. They are not to be di
vulged until after the death Of the old
gentleman.

minutes, at his mothers house in Paris
the night after he was supposed to
have been shot that morning. The Old

in some sort of international complied
ton between the United States and
Mexico, and hence he will not even
now allow his identity to be known.
He was in the Mexican war. He had

cordially when he learned who he was,
and then subseq uently talked with him
freely but not over freely. He held
back much and told him he would learn
it all from his ma nuscript, after he died,

The great trouble with the members

The great trouble with the members
of Congaess is their ignorance of the
subjects upon which they talk and vote.
They know little or nothing of such
matters before they go to Washington,
and are so delighted with their new life
in that city, that they don't take time
to inform themselves correctly, but rely
for their knowledge upon what they
read in sensational newspapers. This
is demonstrated by their recent speech
es and votes on the Cuban question, as
was patiently exhibited by Mr.. Hale in
the Senate March 9th, who showed
that his jingo colleagues, in their
speeches on that subject, didn't know
what they were talking about. and had
obtained their alleged facts from spu-
rious publications, written and printed
by the influence of either prejudiced
or menacing motives understanding

s;,ort History of the Ballet.

Like all dancing, the root of the bal
let is to be found in prehistoric times,
but Italy was the home where its
growth became coincident with the
development of the opera. With the
Medici it was imported into France,
and fleurished as court entertainment
under Catherine de- Medici. AS the bal
let increased in popularity it was grad
ually associated with the libretto OF a
great poet and the music of great mu-
sician, and it used to be put on the
stage by some noble patron Of the arts.
Princes of the royal blood frequently
took part in the performance-Louis
XIII, to wit, and Henri Nv, who had
u special dancing room built in the
arsenal. Even LIE Roi Soleil did not
dream it beneath his dignity to imper-
senate various characters in the ballet
until he was prevented by his growing
corpulence.
Gaetan Vestris, who styled himself
in Proyencal dialect "le diou de la
danse," brought the ballet to its perfec-
ton, and when age disabled him his
son Auguste was worthy successor.
Mile. Canary danced with the father,
while Madeleine Guimard, the protect
ress of David the painter, was con-
temporary of the son. This century was
q quarter gone before the golden age of
the ballet in London. Great things,
however, were done at Her Majesty s
theater in early Victorian days. "Gi-
selle" was the united work of Heine,
Theophile Gautier and Adolphe Adam,
and the premiere danseuse was Carlotta
Grisi. She was succeeded by Fanny
Elssler and Taglioni, who was immor-
talized by Thackeray, and was alive not
many years ago. Saturday Review.

What art thou doing there,

On yonder bough SO bare,
Singing, or sobbing?
Through the long summer days
Heard vert thou rarely;
Lark, thrush and nightingale
Oustsung thee fairly.
Now, when lark, thrush and all
Silence are keeping,
Skies like leaden pail,
Mist underereeping,
Where the dark yew its shade
Over churchyards is flinging,
Thou sittest and singest.
Oh, what art thou singing?
1t is rot OF love;
Love needs one to hear it.
1t is not Of life;
Death and tombs are too near it.
And it is not in hope,
With the long days before US,
With the liInitless scope,
And the woods sweet in chorus.
But when all else is still,
Or winds only are signing,
Leaves falling around thee
Dccaying and dying,
When some fire yet unknown
In thy warm heart is throbbing,
Thou sittest and singest there,
Robin, sweet Robin!
Gay of heart. cheerily,
Gliding our sadness;
But, oh, there are tears in thee,
Bird, in thy gladness.
