works which would cost considerably
over the $275 now in the treasury.
The idea was suggested by Attorney
General Smith, who has witnessed
magnificent displays of fireworks in
Japan and Daniel Logan, who recol-
lects the demonstrations made in this
line during the days of Kalakaua, that
this years display be exhibited from
scows in the harbor. People could
gather about the wharves and the view
would not be INSTRUCTED.
Upon the organization of the new
committee the work will be earnestly
taken in hand.

BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.

BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM
From the Fairhaven On. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been sufferer from rheu-
matism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured a bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's
purchase at first, but nevertheless APP
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or pain and finds that it
always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she has used ever did
her as much good. For sale by all
dealers and druggists. Benson, Smith
& Co., wholesale agents for the Ha-
waiian Islands.

Yet There Are Reasons why Mendicants
Shun Him.
There is "a young lawyer of this town
who has not refused aims for years, but
who is Stunned by every beggar who has
met HIM. 1t is his custom to stroll down
Fifth avenue after dinner at night with a
cane in mis- hand, on lcisurely constitu
tional, stopping TO gaze in at the shop
windows or upon passing carriages. His
deliberate gait and holiday air used tc
make him mark for the men who prom
enadc the avenue between Madison square
and the reservoir and prey upon the weak
good nature of pedestrians. .....
He has hit upon the eXpedient of giving,
but giving spGringly. His pockets are
kept well supplied with small coins, and
for every mendicant who approaches he
produces a penny. He reasons that if the
man is starving, as he claims, u penny
will save his life, and II he Is a profes
sional, as is more likely, he has neither
particularly inconvenienced himself nor
afforded n bcggar the means to crafty 6
thirst; ALSO it is salve to his conscience
enabling him to enjoy his promenade with.
out the necessity of investigating every
narrowing story that is told to him
Long experience has given him an un.
erring instinct for u mendicant He can
tell by the expression of n mans face a
hundred feet away if he intends to solicit
aims. When such u one approaches him
and opens his mouth to speak, he reaches
in his pocket without a word, hands him
penny and saunters OIL, not even looking
at the mendicant. Frequently the air grows
blue behind him, and string of earnest
oaths pursues him from the beggar whom
he has not even given the satisfaction of
telling hard luck tale. The panhandler
does not like to have himself taken too
much for granted.-New York Mail and

The title of this well known song
as well as the song itself emanated
from the brain of an employee of the

The interchangeable check system is
found very valuable to patrons.

BANEfuL INDIGESTION.
THE DISORDERS IT CAUSES AND THE
POIsoNS 1T INsTILs IN THE BLOOD.

If we only knew how dangerous, insidious
and ruthless a disease indigestion is, we
would not wait as we do before endeavorine
to cure it.
The longer we wait, the more dangerous
it is likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive
Cordial the better it will be, and the better
we will be.
Indigestion Is dangerous because it creates
poisons in the stomach which are absorbed
by the blood and by it carried to all parts of
the body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed if the
stomach could digest its food. When it can't.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do
So
Nothing will help the stomach so well as
Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cur @
Indigestion so quickly, or SO positively
The reason is that it purif1es the stomach
and the blood, and makes your food
strengthen instead of poison you.
1t is not medicine, but an aid to diges-
ion. a pleasant cordial for weak stomachs.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents for trial

All Are Welcome.

Professor Munyon, the head of the
Munyon homeopathic Home Remedy
Company, Philad alpha, will arrive in a
few days, bringing with him number of
skilled specialists. In order to educate
the public how to doctor and cure them
selves, the professor proposes to send his
physicians to treat patients at their
homes or at his Office bsolutely free.
He says that be can demonstrate that his
Rheumatism Cure will relieve rheuma-
tism In few hours. He guarantees that
his Dyspepsia Cure will cure any case of
indigestion or stomach trouble. II will
demonstrate" says the Professor, ''by
this test, that ninety per cent of all kid
ney complaints, including Bright's
Disease, can be cured by my kidney
cure. know" continued the professor,
s'that my Catarrh Cure will cure catarrh
of tbs head, throat and stomach-no
matter how chronic or long standing. /
will prove by this test that deafness can
be cured by my new system of treat
ment. / will show that nervous affect
ions and diseases of the heart are con-
trolled and cured by my Nerve and
Heart Cure. l will prove that my cold
cure will break up any form of GOLD in
a few hours. will convince the most
skeptical that my Headache Cure will
correct any form Of headache in from
three to ten minutes, and that it is
splendid stomach and heart tonic. Twill
guarantee that my Asthma Cure and
Asthma Herbs, taken according to di-
rections, will relieve any case of asthma
in five minutes, and cure in few days.
l claim that my remedies for Female
Complaints and Children's diseases are
positive cures, and should be in every
L 49,
ulty that my remedies are absolutely
harmless; that they will cure more than
ninety per cent. of all diseases"
Thus it will be seen by these state
ments that Professor Munyon does not
claim to cure all diseases with one rem
edy, but he has separate cure for each
disease.

An Interesting Rumor.

Washington, March 4.-Secretary
Olney was absent from the group of uabi-
net officers who received the President
elect. This was much noticed and gave
rise to the rumor that at the last moment
a break in the friendly relations between
President Cleveland and his secretary OF
state had taken place. This rumor.
which could not be verified. represented
that Mr.. Olney had demanded that Con-
sui General Lees recall from Havana
and the President declined to acoede to

KEELHAuLINo IN THE OLD DAYS.
Punishment at Sea Which Only One Out
of Three Survivsd-CrueIties of the Prao-
tice.

Kee1hauling was a method of naval
discipline particularly in vogue with the
Dutch navy. for as Van Tromp swept the
channel with broom at his masthead,
his countrymen sometimes used human
sweepers under their keels In large,
square-rigged vessels the victim was
dashed to spar and had iron weights
secured to his feet; spans were secured
to this spar, and lines were led from 1t
to the main yard. When all was ready
the oulprit was swayed up to the main
yard, dropped into the sea, and hauled
under the ship to the other side. Here is
the way Marryat describes its operation
in that small cutter where Smallbones
suffered and Snarleyow was thought to
be dog fend:
"This Ingenious process, he writes.

sition under the keelson, while he is
drawn aft by hauling line until he
makes his appearance at the rudder
chains, generally speaking quite out OF
breath, not at the rapidity of his motion,
but because when SO long under the
water he had expended all breath in his
body and was induced to take salt water
in lieu. In the days of keelhaul-
ing the bottoms Of vesselswere not COP

studded with species Of shell fish called
barnacles, which attached themselves
and as these shells were all open-mouthed
and with sharp, cutting points, those
who underwent this punishment (for
they were made to hug the keelson of
the vessel by the ropes at each side
fastened to their arms) were cut and
