one OF the Best Concerts HInsdale Has
Ever Had.

The concert at the town hall on Satur,
day evening by the Alpha Mandolin and
Guitar club of Springfield, received gen
erous patronage, 260 tickets being sold,
and it was a rare treat to all lovers OF mu-
sic, some saying it was the finest concert
they ever heard. There are seven members
in the club, and every one skilful artist
When every number is success, 1t is nara
to single out any for special mention. Inc
autoharp and xylophone solos by the lead
er. j. j. Eberhardt, were especially pleas
ing, and yet, one almost thought as each
number was presented, it was just as good,
or a little better, than the last. The banjo
duet. the oscarina trio, and many Others
called forth hearty applause, and encores
were cheerfully responded to. The cluo
gave a sacred concert at the town hall sun
day evening, assisted by Paul ID. Mann
reader. A good audience was in attend
ance, and the selections well chosen. W.
O. Amidon, under whose management the
club came here, has merited the thanks OF
all lovers of high-class music for TINS OPP
nortunity to attend so fine musical enter
tainment, at a price so moderate as 10 De
within the reach of all.

FREE EXHIBITION.
Trilby Fowler StartleS Car Driver
and Has Sport.

"Trilby" Fowler made things hum
around Fort and King streets yester-
day afternoon, and for a few minutes
scared some of the tramways drivers
into driving their horses on a walk
"Trilby" mounted his wheel and gave
an exhibition of a beginner so faith
fully that he astonished those who did
not know him.
He would wobble and fall off at in
tervals, and once, when a car came
down Fort street, he apparently lost
control Of the steering gear and ran
his wheel between the mules and the
dashboard. When the driver remons-
trated with him, Fowler made his hind
wheel kick up in imitation of kick
ing mule and then backed off, much
to the chagrin Of the driver.

THE PACIFIC

There are several localities on
this island of Oahu and also on
Kauai and Maui, where the sea
water near the shore is so fresh that
the natives fill their kegs and tins
with it for drinking and cooking
purposes. This freshening of the
sea water is caused by underground
streams flowing down from the
highlands and discharging into the
sea. A singular discovery has been
made off the west coast of Senegal,
Africa, of Submarine river, prob
ably formed in the same way as
the fresh water pools referred to
above. 1t seems that the sub
marine cable, which spans the
ocean from the African coast to
Pernambuco, South America, has
been twice broken by some mys-
FERROUS agency, at a distance OF
over one hundred miles from the
coast. Dredging was resorted to,
In some instances with nets, and
fresh water plants were brought up.
resembling river weeds, and with
feathers of birds, pieces of carpets
and driftwood, and more singular
still pieces of orange peel, all found
on the bottom of the ocean, fifty or
a hundred miles from shore. The
breakage of the submarine cable
was attributed to the action of this
submarine stream, and the cable
has been removed to another place.
Submarine rivers are known to ex-
list in several localities,-the most
noted being off the Gulf of Car
pentaria. The orange peel and
pieces of carpet may readily have
been drawn down by the suction OF
the water as it left the inland river
though duct that led to the sub
marine outlet into the ocean. Our
island submarine outlets of fresh
mountain water, discharging into
the ocean explain very plausibly
how the large African submarine
rivers may be formed, and how
birds feathers, carpets and orange
peels are carried out to sea In them.

The appointment OF Hon. ".
Luther Wilcox to be Magistrate of
the District Court of this city will
receive unanimous approval. For
some time past it has been apparent
that he possessed qualifications for
the position which no other man
held in the same degree. His per-
feet knowledge not only of the ma
tive language, but of the habits
and peculiarities of Hawaiians,
enables him to read their thoughts
and minds as very few foreigners
can. Although not a regularly
bred lawyer, he probably knows
more of the principles of law as
applicable to the practice of our
district courts, than many who
have had superior advantages.
The position of District Magistrate
is very difficult and thankless one
to hold in any country, and it IS
often very trying one. Judge
de la Vergne, who retires from the
magistrates seat, has given much
better satisfaction than some people
anticipated he would, when he ac-
cepted the Office, being a compare
tive stranger among us. We I'M
derstand that he purposes to devote
himself to the practice of law in
this city, for which he is well quail
fed.

any of its officers, in the different
states in the Union in 1S92-93 for

Educated men in the United
States are regarding with approval
the awakening interest of working
men in the subject of immigration.
4 series of questions has recently
been prepared and issued in the
form of a circular by the labor or
carnations to the individual labor
unions. The answers will indicate
a close study of the benefits and
dangers arising from immigration,
and will contain suggestions for the
improvement of existing laws. The
subject is one of vital Importance
to any country where there are I'M
developed resources and room for
an increase in the population. In
telligent workingmen, actuated by
a desire to promote the best inter
ests of their native or their adopted
country, and aroused to a full APP
probation of the need of good citi-
zens, are mighty factors in building
up stable government.

STOVES.

The public of the Hawai-
ian Islands know a good
thing when they see it and
the best thing in the way of
oil stoves is universally ad-
mitted by them to be the
justly celebrated Blue Flame
Oil Stove.
So much are they appre-
ciated that we would not
mention them were it not
for the fact that a fresh sup
ply has reached US. In ad-
dition to these sizes in use
here, we have a third or
smaller size, especially re-
commended and constructed
for small families, and en-
bracing all the qualities
found in the larger sizes.
The Dietz Stove Company
the largest oil stove manu-
facturers in the United States
ARE now turning out a
beautiful stove for burning
kerosene. Complete with
oven and pots, etc.
We have several in as
sorted sizes and are dispos-
ing of them at a very low
figure.
In wood or coal burning
stoves we have the celebrat-
ed Fisher Steel Ranges. The
Pansy, sizes E, 7 and 8. The
Columbus, sizes 7 and 8.
The Olive, Bono; and for
hotels or restaurants we have
a specially suitable one--The
Empire City. In this the
oven is very large, the heat
ing surface exceptionally so,
and the price very low in
deed.

the court on the same charge, was
also discharged. So far, the law
has been unable to reach them.
Whether there was or was not
ground for the charges of corrupt
influence in 1894, it is quite clear
from Senator Aldrich's strong
statement that no such influence
was brought to bear upon the Sen
ate Committee at its recent sessions.

1t is grossly absurd to speak of Ha-
waiian annexation as the beginning of
a colonial policy On the part of the
American Government. 1t is a great
stretch of the imagination to regard
the insignificant Sandwich Islands
group as a colony for a nation like
ours, having vast areas of land wholly
unoccupied by OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Ad-
vertiser.
= The fact remains that the possession
of the Hawaiian Islands will be of
strong commercial advantage to the
United States, an advantage which 9TH
er nations would be glad to possess,
and which ultimately some one of
them would possess if the United States
were not to do so-Pittsburg CONNER
cial Gazette.
AS a matter of pure business politics,
looking to the future development of
American commerce on the Western
ocean and to the security of our West
ern shores, the acquisition of this group
of Islands is of incalculable Importance
to the United States.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
Those who favor Hawaiian anneXa-
ton are now called by the opposition
''intemperate champions of immediate
annexation This is very amusing
when one remembers that annexation
has been before the country for four
years and six months-Philadelp
Press.
We do not doubt that the annexation
treaty ought to be and will be ratified.
FOrebodingS of evil are largely insin-
cere or unreasonable. This is the pre-
else reverse of aggression. 1t is cordial
acquiescence in the deliberate and in
telligent aspiration of a Republic close
ly allied to the United States and de-
pendent upon our cooperation for the
realization of it's natural destiny. Time
and intercourse and immigration to a
territory rich in undeveloped resources
will inevitably produce all the conditions
essential to convenient and equitable
government and to a high civilization.
The projected union will be prolific Of
blessings not only to those united but
to all mankind.-New York Tribune.
From the present point of view, the
proposed annexation is desirable, and
we are glad the Connecticut Senators

lister.
The attitude of our Government has
always held and its unmistakable pol
icy for the future demand that it shall
exercise a practical protectorate over
Hawaii If we have the name we might
have the game. If we are to have the
full responsibility we might as we'll
have the full control. For more than
half century our statesmen have con-
templated this acquisition. Modern
conditions make it far more important
than it seemed when that policy was
projected. Commercial and naval de-
velopment has greatly increased the
necessity for outlying stations and
bulwarks. Hawaii is the pivot of all
the trans-Pacific lines. If we are to
seek commercial expansion it lies di-
rectly in the pathway of trade advance
