graphed the details of a horrible
incident, the truth of which was
assured by thirty of the wounded
and one eyewitness. lie told a
story of how the Turks being un-
able to carry the wounded Greeks
put them In a church and set fire
to the structure. On the same
day the Times correspondent re-
marked the excellent discipline of
the Turkish army. He reported
not a single outrage" in any of
the small villages captured and
commented in highest terms on the
humanity which the Turks dis
play to their prisoners "who are
treated with great Kindness" We
are not inclined to put this differ
ence In reports down as evidence
of incapacity or malicious intent.
One man may see what another
does not, and it is impossible for
each and every correspondent to
go before a justice of the peace
and swear that his version of the
situation is correct beyond the
question of a doubt.

THE KEROSENE TROUBLE,

That portion of the public
of these Islands, who use
kerosene oil for domestic
purposes will, after reading
Fridays paper, feel symp-
toms of the same complaint
that attacked the foolish vir-
gins of ancient history.
1t is all very we'll to make
light" of the subject, but the
question is a serious one
and many merchants are bit
ing their thumbs over it,
while anxiously watching
for the lolani.
There is an old and true
saving that "the man who
falls over the same banana
peel twice is a bit of a fool"
and it is safe to say that a
considerable number of years
will elapse before a similar
condition of things will pre-
vail here.
1t has always been our en-
deavor to "brighten things"
and "disperse the gloom"
generally, and our effort in
this direction caused us to
lay in a heavy stock of
Lamps, beside which Al
ladin's was a pigmy.
For the adornment of the
lamar or prch we have the
famous Deitz lamp which
throws a magnificent light
and will need a hurricane to
eXtinguiSh.
The Tubular Street Lamp
is another fine thing for out
door illumination, an eco
nomic oil burner and an
excellent light.
We have also Barn and Stable lamps.
Safe and up-to-date in every respect.
AS for ChandelierS-Well we have hun
dreds OF varieties either in 2, 3 or lights,
from the common to the elaborate get

signs.

QUEEN VICTORIA.

reign just closed mark not alone
an era In the progress OF the Brit
ish Empire. 1t Is not alone the
British subjects who viii sound the
praises Of their Gracious Queen
during this Jubilee week. Every
citizen of every civilized nation on
the face of the globe will join
heart and soul in doing honor to
the woman whose name stands fore
most among the rulers of the world
as the leader of moral, intellectual
and commercial progress, the pro-
gress of civilization. No more in
teresting incident in history has
ever occurred or is likely to occur
within the life time of the present
generation, than this spectacle of
the nations of the earth, wiping out
the lines of petty jealousy and in
sular pride and uniting to honor
woman whose power has been seen
and felt in every corner of the
globe.
All this demonstration is a mag
nifcent practical illustration that
the minds of men have broadened
and are reaching out to the higher
plane from which they can contem-
plate without prejudice the noble
character of one who by her judi
cious and kindly bearing toward
her own people has extended her
powerful uplifting influence to all
mankind, and has been the great
est factor in breaking down the
barriers that have stood In the way
of Outstanding the world. Dur
ing her sixty years of rule, Queen
Victoria has always kept close to
the people, but she has been none
the less the Queen of her realm.
She has recognized the demands of |
the growing spirit of democracy,
but she has always held the con-
servative check upon her people
and thereby gained for them their
ascendency of political
power. She has shown to the
world that monarchial rule is not
rule of oppression. She
rules today free people who see
in their Queen and her advisers a
tower of strength that guarantees
their rights of citizenship not alone
within the borders of their own
nation but also follows to protect
them wherever they may chose
their abode.
Victoria's reign has not been
without It's troublesome periods,
not without the horrors of war
fare, not without its mistakes
but in spite of this Great
Britain stands today the all impor-
tant check upon the warlike spirits
Of Europe. With a united and
loya1 people and most formidable
war material at her command she
holds the fate of Europe in her
hands, but her people and the
world know that her influence will
always be cast on the side of peace.
Humanity has not yet reached the
point where thoughts of war are
asst aside and Britain's superior
for war may be the
necessary step in bringing the day
f universal peace, as monarchial
ule was the necessary step in de-
clipping democratic government
rom the old fuedal system.
Ever thoughtful of her people, :
nassuming, unselfsh, without a
race of ambition for arbitrary
over and withal true Christian
haracter Queen Victoria has by
er personal example taught the
,sson which if followed by those
