WHEAT HAS ADVANCED.
But at the Same Time Silver Has De.
clined in Value.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The Sec
retary of Agriculture to-day gave ex-
preston to the following regarding the
recent rise in wheat:
The rise of wheat in Chicago and
New York markets during the last
sixty days is about twenty cents a
bushel This, on crop of 450,000000
bushels, makes 500, ,oO0, 900. And at
least 200 OO0,0 600 bushels of this wheat
are now owned by and in the hands of
American farmers. Thus, in less than
sixty days, wheat has made for its pro-
ducers about $4O,000,000.
= During the same period silver has
declined two cents an ounce from IS
to 66 cents. The alleged kinship Of
prices for wheat and silver is disproved
Wheat is divorced from silver on the
lawful ground that the relation of sup
ply to demand is the regula tor of values.
and Bryan and Watson and Sewall are
made correspondents because of their
ScandalOus assertions. If it be diShon-
est in a dollar to rise in it's power TO
purchase wheat, is it not equally dis
honest for wheat to rise in its power
to purchase dollarS?"

hrs. CASTLES CONFESSION.
SAID THAT SHE ADMITS TAKING
THE ARTICLES
Found in the Trunks i'm Her Rooms,
But Claims Not to be Re.
sponsible.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Castle case,
which has already been prolific of SEN
sations, produced another one to-day
when it was admitted that Mrs. Castle
had made full confession that she had
taken the things found in her trunks,
but claimed not to be responsible.
This confession was made during a
long examination to which she was sub
jected by DR.. George Henry Savage
cne Of the leading British experts on
mental diseases.
Although he secured this confession
from her, DIR. Savages examination was
on the whole favorable to the prisoner.
He was with her for four hours and in
vestigated her mental condition with
the utmost thoroughness. AS a result
he is prepared to go on the witness
stand and swear that Mrs. Castle was
not responsible for her deeds. So high
Is the reputation of Dr. Savage that his
testimony will have the greatest weight
with the jury, and since they have
learned his opinion the friends of the
Castles are feeling much more confident
than they have felt during the last few
days.
1t was during this examination that
Mrs Castle admitted that she had
taken the different articles that she
was accused Of stealing, but said that
she could not tell why she had done so !:
that she had felt an overpowerlng de-
sire that she could noc resist. She broke
down while making this admission and
seemed greatly affected.
Lewis Meill, watch manufacturer
of Hatton Garden, one of the sureties on
the bonds for Mr.. and Mrs. Castle. is
authority for this statement which he
made TO correspondent of the United
Press this morning.
j. r. Roosevelt, First Secretary of the
United States Embassy, informed a
representative of the United Associated
Presses to-day that he had an inter-
view with the Castles yesterday. He
said that Mr. Castle might possibly
make a written statement on behalf of
himself and wife to-day. Roosevelt
said that the American Embassy would
not interfere in the case and was merely
watching its progress.

THE REBELLION In CUBA.
GENERAL WEYLER HAS ISSUED
ANOTHER DECREE.
Inhabitants Outside of FOrtifiCatiOns
r1ust Concentrate Within
Them.

HAVANA, Oct. 22.-Captain-G General
Weyler has issued decree ordering the
Inhabitants of the country outside the
fortiticatiOns of the towns in the Pro-
vince of Pinar del Rio to concentrate
within the limits of the fOrtificatiOnS
within eight days. Transportation of
goods to or from the country towns by
land and sea without permission is pro-
hibited. AT the expiration of the eight
days all persons found outside the limits
Will be considered rebels, and tried as
such.
According to an official report, the Piz-
zaro regiment under Colonel Flores
surprised the rebel band under AcoSta
and Delgado at Cocosolo, near Bejucal,
Province of Havana The cavalrymen
made a furious attack upon the insur-
gents, who We're disconnected by it's sud-
denness and fled in disorder. Nineteen
dead rebels were found upon the field,
including the leader, AcoSta. The
SpaniardS had three men wounded.
On the 18th instant Alfredo Laborde
and Orna Melton of the schooner Com
petitor We're taken to the Quarto de Ban
deras in Fort Cabanas, and their deposi-
tIons taken before the Judge Instructor,
who informed them that they were
to be tried for piracy and rebellion by a
court martial. They had received no
previous notification, and We're given no
opportunity to communicate with Con-
sul-General Lee. The indictments and
method of procedure We're identical with
that of the former trial. Laborde and
Melton both entered protest against
the proceedings 1t is not believed in
this city that General Lee had any noti-
fication of the trial. and it is entirely il
legal. 1t is not known whether Leavitt
and Barnett will be tried at the same
time or not.
tOn the 10Th Laborde, Melton and Lea
witt We're again taken before the Judge
Instructor, and again entered their pro-
test, claiming their right to commune
cate with Consul Lee, and that a trial
held in the CabanaS would be Illegal
for the reason that no counsel could be
present and also that a trial by court
martial was not in accordance with the
treaties existing between the United
States and Spain. No communication
has been received from General Lee
since the trial began. The merits of
their protests will be passed upon be-
fore the real trial takes place.

Barnett, made dispositions and also DR..

the day, although it numbered about
o,oOO only. The speech of Mr.. Bryan
there was devoted in part to answering
the charge made by Lew Wallace, a
resident of the town, that he was an
anarchist. He defended the Chicago
platform from the charge that it was
anarchistic.
1t was reserved for Brazil, the we'll
Known mining center, to exceed in
demonstrative appreciation the Dem
ocratic candidate. 1t was past
o'clock when Mr.. Bryan's train reached
the place. All along the streets to the
park where the speaking occurred he
was wildly cheered. A thousand min
ers were in the procession. The near
by neighborhood had contributed to the
immense throng that gathered to hear
him, and it is estimated that nearly,
If not quite, 25.000 people composed
the concourse. Mr.. Bryan brought out
no new points in his speech, but every
thing he said was vigorously ap~
plauded.

Armenian Refugees.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-There were
about $50 Armenian steerage passen-
gers on the Hamburg American line
steamship California which arrived
here this afternoon from Hamburg and
Havre. They were shipped in Havre,
and are booked for various destinations.
The Captain states that all have some
small means, and some have as much as
$40. He does not anticipate any diff
ficulty about landing them, as he saws
they are not likely to become a public
charge. There are only a few women
and children among them.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-03-19

A French author who was once EN-.
to newspaper paid for by the line was
in the habit Of introducing such pas
sages as these into his story, each phrase
making line: "Have you seen him?"
IT have" mop eyes +" "Where?"
Here" "Whenp" To-day" "Then
he lives?" "He does" "Ah" The
publisher rebelled and said: II must
have new contract We will pay you
hereafter by the letter and not by the
line" "But my contract says that
am to have pay by the line" "Yes,
but your contract does not say that ]
shall not end the story when I please.
If you. do not consent, shall put the
words, The end, at the close of the
next installment Of your story and print
no more of it," The author pondered a
minute. VERY WE'LL, 2" said he, II will
take my pay hereafter by the letter pro-
vided you let the story run on until l
have quite finished it. - 'It is agreed, F"
said the publisher. When the publisher
came to. read the next installment Of
the story, he found that the author had
introduced two new characters who
stammered dreadfully and whose talk
ran after this manner: "C-c-c-c-c-c-c-
can you not b-b-b-b- break the DID d.
d-d-dreadful news g-g-g-g-g-gently to
our m-m- MN -m-m-masterY "N-n-n-n-
n-ne-e-e.e-e-e-e-ver. G-g-g.gg-gaston."
murmured the grief stricken Valentine.
II should r-r-r-r-r-r-rather b-b-b-burst
upon him s-s-s-s-s-s-suddenly with the
ann announcement and not
prolong his s-s-s-s-sufferings with sus-
p-p-p-p-p-p-e-e-e-ensel" The Mortified
publisher saw in this sort of dialogue a
dreadful and terribly costly alphabetical
procession. He sent for the author and
restored the old arrangement. As soon
as the author again began to collect his
pay by the line poor, suffering CASTOR
and Valentine were overtaken by an I'M
timely fate, and the short paragraphs
were resumed.

could desire about the sick woman's pulse,
temperature, respiration, etc., taken at
regular and frequent intervals during the
night By Jove, she had almost put down
every time the woman had breathedl At
once knew as much about the case as II
had never left the bedside for moment.
AFTER that l went to another house,
where they had nurse of the old fash
Toned family sort. Here, of course, had
no written details to guide me and had to
resort to cross questioning the nurse.
"Her replies were rather hazy and I'M
satisfactory until asked whether the pa
tient had slept well during the night.
oh, yes, doctor! 1 guess she must
have, said the nurse amiably. She didn't
wake me up!' Life.

An ingenious woman has found new
uses for that common little boring tool
called gimlet. One night, while stop
ping at hotel, her room was entered and
robbed. Being a travelling woman and re-
alizing that the same thing was likely to
again happen, she hit upon the gimlet as a
protective measure. Every night there
after, when fate decreed that she must put
up at a hotel, she produced her gimlets
and made windows, doors and transoms Sc
cure by boring the gimlet clean through.
One night when she had gimleted her room
30 that she was absolutely safe from mid
night marauders the cry of Fire" was
heard. She was up in an instant. She saw
through the transom the reflection of
flames in the hallway. Escape was cut
off from that quarter. She hastily un-
screwed the gimlets from the window and
looking out saw low roof 80 feet below.
So practical woman must certainly have
had a clothesline handy, and such was
the fact. In jiffy she had screwed two
of her much beloved gimlets into the
wooden sill, fastened an end of the rope to
them and climbed down in safety to the
roof. The gimlets were burned up in the
fire, but the ingenious woman laid in an
other stock, and from that day to this you
can always count on finding from a half
dozen to dozen of the gimlets in her
satchel.--New York Advertiser.
