Capt. Julius y. Palmer, upon
whose benighted head was recent
Nv bestowed the title of Sir Juie.
Grand Secretary of Her Maj
esty's" Hawaiian Court, says that
LiliuOkalani's pictures are in
great demand in Washington.
This calls to mind. the comment
made by Il magazine writer, on
the fact that the manager for
Divine Healer Schlatter. who has
made quite furry in some OF
the Western States. was in the
habit of making Il little money on
the side by selling photographs
of the so-called divine healer.
The writer remarked that pic
ture selling was an unusual ac-
compartment of divinity, but out
of the kindness of his American
heart he couldn't blame the man
aver for making the most of his
OPPORTUNITIES. Doubtless Sir Jul
les next promotion will be to the
office of Grand Picture Dispenser
and Receiver of Photographic
Funds. The dignity which char
acteriZed LiliuOkalani's first ap-
pearance in the States is fast be
ing reduced to public laughing
stock through the idiOcy of Sir
julie.

That is why MALT NU-
TRINE has taken the lead of
all other preparations contain
ing the curative properties of
Malt.
A few reasons why Malt Nu-
trine is superior to other ex-
tracts is:
1. That it contains almost Is
per cent of Pure Malt Extract,
with less than 2 per cent of AL
cohol.
2. 1t can be given to children
with perfect safety.
8. 1t is not an eXcitant slim
ulant. The benefits to be de-
rived by Nursing Mothers dur
ing the period of lactation can
not be overestimated.
All persons requiring Tonic
and Fat Producer should not
fail to give Malt Murine a
trial.
People of every walk Of life,
from the laborer to those in
the highest ranks of nobility,
will find beneficial results from
taking Malt Murine.
The feeling of exhaustion,
brought on by the prevailing
south wind, can be overcome
by this valuable preparation.
The demand for Malt Murine
has increased so greatly that
we have been enabled to pur-
chase large quantities, thereby
reducing the price to within the
reach of all.
Single Bottles, 80 cents.
Per Dozen, $3.50.
We are giving away with ev-
cry purchase of Malt Murine
an elegant Nickel-Plated Cork
screw and Match Box, worth
at least twice the figure asked
for the article.
Don't fail to avail yourself of
this opportunity to receive
much for little.

The trouble with the Nicaragua
Canal Company is this: The
contract under which it had
rights has expired. The contract
provided that no foreign govern
ment should have any control
over the canal. but the company
are trying to put it i'll the control
of the Government of the United
States. and the Government OF
the Central American Republic
is mad about il. Then, the con
tract provided that the Govern
ment of Nicaragua should have
a lot of doodle out of it. But
the bill before Congress leaves
that out. Senators from the great
Middle States are much more in
tereSted in getting money out 1T
Congress for post-Of1ice buildings
than in giving money to Il canal
project But. as we reiterate,
things are moving, and the fish
slowly head for our little net,
which we patiently keep open
here. The canal will be con
Structed.

traps of disaster, just as venera-
bic rats get into scrapes.
The intense financial suffering
in the United States and Austria
liza is somewhat due to the ignOr-
ance of the best uses of land.
The people confined themselves
to single staples like wheat or
corn, or cattle. The American
farmers were told years ago TO
look out for the great wheat
fields of the Argentine Republic
which would cheaper the cost of
wheat, and were earnestly told to
diversity their work. No farmer
opened his eyes. and if he did,
ne groaned out: what else can
I raise?" And then went on with
illS wheat anu COTh.
But the agricultural cranks,
like MarSden. were on hand and
secured the establishment of very
many agricultural stations. which
are gradually changing the as
pect of rural life in America. One
station does. with rigid scientific
accuracy, that which thousand
farmers could not do. These sta
tiOns have, during the last ID
years. done more for the profit of
farming than has been done in Il
hundred years. No farmer need
make any mistake now. The eX-
pertinent is thoroughly made
with the best brain and money of
the State. The rapid develop
ment of the sugar beet industry
is largely due To the fine. accurate
experiments of the stations. We

fishes a letter from Il special CORE
spondent at Arroyo Arena, province OF
Havana, dated Jan. /, who says:
| have been fortunate enough to get
into Havana, get out of it again and to
find an insurgent force all in just IL
hours. This place is six miles from
San Pedro, where MaceO is reported to
have been killed. 1t is not true that
either Pinar del Rio or Havana prov
inces have been ''pacitied." The insur-
gents are not thinking of making
peace. They are more active and hope
full than ever. There never were but
5000 rebels in Pinar del Rio province.
They are still there. General Weyler,
at the head of 30. 900 Spanish troops,
did not conquer them. All reports
from Spanish towns or forts are utterly
untrustworthy. The situation here
looks better for the insurgents than
when l left Pinar del Rio last August.
Even the Spaniards admit that none of
the insurgents have surrendered.

Banks Knew In Advance of the Failure Of
the Illinois National.
CHICAGO, Jan. Sit has been ascer-
tanned positively that several banks
which had deposits in the defunct Ma
tional Bank of Illinois were warned of
what was to come, and as a result, their
money was withdrawn just in time to
save them from being carried down i'll
the wreck.
Henry w. Austin, president of the
Oak Park State bank, made the state
ment that he had received information
of the dangerous condition of the ILL
nois National during the week pre-
vious to the failure. Acting on this
tip, Mr.. Austin says, he Immediately
took out of the bank the money his
bank had there, amounting to $50, 600.
Hinkley & Tilden, proprletors of the
West Side bank, were also warned i'll
time to withdraw their cash from the
tottering institution. Mr.. Austin re-
fused positively to state whom his in.
formant was. He said, however, nat
he was not "a director or official of The
Illinois National
