Yacht Adrift.

The yacht Bonnie Dundee, owned by
President Dole, got adrift from her
moorings yesterday afternoon and
made short cut toward Pearl Harbor,
by going on the reef back of the light
house. She was fast when some Of the
bluejackets of the Baltimore went out.
They made no success of getting the
yacht off the reef, as the wind was
blowing at such rate. The two young
boys of Captain Williams, the light
house keejer, took boat and went out.
They jumped aboard the Dundee and,
hosting the sails, soon had her on her
way to safe anchorage. They did
their work right we'll where men had
failed.

At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-

extensively and it has always given en-

THE LIEN Law.

We learn that an effort will be
made at the next sitting cf the Log
sialatlre to repeal the Lien Law
and also to reduce the legal rate OF
interest from 8 to 5 cents, and make
Sit q penitentiary offensc to charge
more. r3
AS to the LienLnw we seriously
doubt the wisdom Of a repeal in
the present condition Of the coun-
try. It is the cheapest and most
charitable provision for the assist
I:ance Of the poor white man with q
family that could be devised. Take
away his chances of obtaining cred
sitand you drive him to the wall,
TO make a living he must have en-
8ploymeht that will feed and clothe
! his family, and there is no employ
ment that does this as surely and
easily as farming. Drive the poor
from the farms with high rents and
repeal Of the Lien Law and you
will flood the country with pau
pers and our jails with thieves
Mould this be wise? Would it be
4 charitable?
No, if we would have prosperity
we should encourage the system ol
small farms more producers in
propotion to the consumption.
Tho increase Of production in our
/ own county the past two years has
proven this, and there is more home
supplies in the county to-day than
! in ten years. and there is more indie
pendence and less fear Of want OF
suffering.
AS to the reduction Of the rate
\ 8ofinterest on loans and credits il
will also have it's effect. The hope
\ $thatit will drive the capital now
/ invested or locked up in what the
lawyers call "dcad pledges" into
building up local enterprises and
giving employment to our idle pop
ulation we fear is a delusive one
Then, again, the man with money
may refuse to loan it, and what is
the effect? Small enterprises die
Aand prosperity is crippled.
It's to be hoped our solons will
be careful as to changes in either.

Remarkable "Durr Light" to Bel
Manufactured in New York.
A company has been formed in New,
York to man ufacture the remarkable
"Durr light" which has been brought
forward in Germany. 1t is originated,
by automatic evaporation and overheat-
ing of vapors from lamp petroleum.;
the vapors, being converted into gas,
yield a light of from $500 to $4,000
candle-power. The apparatus consists
of tank containing petroleum, which
is conducted by drops into burner,
where it is heated about five minutes,
by means of small pans. Behind the,
first burner is another, which, after.
the heating of the pans has been re-
moved, continually produces.vapors and,
heats them to a high temperature and
completely surrounds the first burner
with strong flame. 1t is impossible,
to extinguish the light in the strong
est wind. Fresh air passes between the
burner and external cylinder by force
OF the smoke rushing out and smoke
less flame results. To produce 1000
candle-power about Ia pints of ordi-
nary 100-degree coal oil is consumed.
