guished scientist and astronomer, long
a member of the Harvard faculty, and
more recently of Colby University, who
has accepted call to Alfred University,
d Seventh Day Baptist college in Ale
gheny county, New York, is now visiting
the Azores and is to assume his new

coming for Prof. Rogers, because nearly
forty years ago, when just graduated from
Brown University, he was elected to tine
chair of mathematics and astronomy at
Alfred and retained it for thirteen years,
during which time he built and equipped
the observatory there. Prof. Rogers
name is famous on two continents for the
accuracy and value of his astronomical
observations, made and published during
his fifteen years in the Harvard observa-
tory. He first succeeded in etching ON
glass the micrometrical lines suitable for
careful astronomical work, and he is the
acknowledged authority in the United
States for scientific micrometrical wor1.

The Interpretation to be put upon Sec
ton 20 of the new tariff law SO far it
affects goods brought in bond over the
Canadian railroads to the United States
would seem to depend almost entirely on
whether the words 'come in FROM are
equivalent to imported from" If they
are it is difficult to see how the act can
be made to apply to goods in bond
shipped across Canadian territory Prob
ably no one would undertake to claim
that these goods in bond are imported
from Canada. 1t would be just as rea-
sonable to contend that the goods coming
from China to United States port on

of press matter sent over the wire during

made a statement of the condition of
affairs to headquarters. The Western

Stage Driver Ere .. Getchell, who
runs the Winthrop and Augusta route.
killed a rattlesnake not far from Augusta
one day last week He was out in the
country to see about some hay, and his
attention was attracted to snake near
the entrance to the barn. The snake
struck at stick placed within his reac h
and just before each attack there was a
strange noise unlike anything Mr.. Get
chell had ever known a snake to make.
Inc snake was between two boards in
coil itself for blow, but when MI.
Getchell got him out he showed fight in
good style. He made several leans and
was finally tossed into the air from the
ends of stick in the stage drivers
hands. When the snake came down Mr.
Getchen hit him as he would have batted
a baseball anditook the snakes head off.
The snake was young and the rattles were
not fully developed.

SENATOR MORGAN.

Senator Morgan, who has arrived
here today makes visit to the
Islands partly for the SAKE of change
of scene and rest, and partly to
inform himself as to the conditions
obtaining here. The Senator is
thoroughly acquainted with Ha-
waiian affairs and besides meeting
many representative Hawaiians in
Washington has read everything
there is to read upon the Islands.
For years the Senator has taken
an interest in this group and he is
a most staunch advocate of annex
alton. The strategic Importance of
the Islands he thoroughly realizes
and firmly endorses Captain Mahan's
views that for the furtherance of
the national prestige the United
States should advance her frontier
line and make of Pearl Harbor an
outpost of Western power in the
Pacific.
However thoroughly man may
have studied country, actual con-
tact with the people, actual sight Of
the material progress, strengthen
the opinion already formed, And
we may feel assured that Senator
Morgan's visit here will enable his
keen, we'll trained and experienced
intellect to value accurately the
elements of which this community
is composed, to recognize the dan
gers to which it is and may be ex-
posed, and to furesee how necessary
a protecting hand is to this little
bulwark of Western and Christian
civilization in the vast ocean which
rolls between two naturally antago
nistic continents.

WHAT Is 1T?
The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer.

The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is a drop
forge tool, made of black dia-
mond tool steel, and embraces
six tools in one; weight, about
a pound, and can be carried in
the hip pocket with ease.
The six tools are as follows:
1, Double staple puller,
nails, etc.
2. Double wire cutter.
3. Double hammer, non
breakable.
A. Good wire splicer, for any
kind of wire, barbed wire in
cluded.
5. Good pair pincers, with
long leverage.
Good monkey wrench, for
plows, machines, etc.
The leading fence companies
throughout the middle and
western States have adopted
this tool for use in putting up
their fences, and recommend
it as the best tool of it's kind
in use.
It is one of those tools that
while used in wire fence work,
yet might be called a "house-
hold article" as everyone that
has used it claim they cannot
afford to be without it around
the house, barn and farm.
Ii other dealers tell you that
they have something that will
do as well and is cheaper,
don't have it. Why! Because
no one or two tools are as
cheap as six.

neral prosperity, but one that is
assured for years to come. The
people see that they mar. owly
escaped great danger last Novem-
Der and they are thankful for it, and
the large minority who did not
believe is dwindling down into the
minority of merely chronic GROWERS.
With the halo of success around
it, the friends of the administration
in December ask the Senate to
ratify the Annexation Treaty. The
strength Of the request is double i'll
December what it was in June. The
Administration, or rather President
Mckinley, appears not as theoretic
statesman, but as one whose theories
have been practically tried and been
found absolutely correct. What
the President has done, what he
considers a sound foreign policy,
will commend itself now more than
ever.
Those who have talked here that
delay in ratifying the treaty was its
death blow, talked without taking
into consideration the logic Of
events. The chances of the treaty
passing the Senate are far better
now than they were in June. This
from the side of the United States.
From the side of Hawaii, the more
thoroughly the situation here is
studied, the more convinced will
the Senators be that annexation and
nothing but annexation can save
this little spot of earth. People
come here opposed to annexation,
through lack of proper knowledge,
and they return to the United States
ardent annexationists.
There is no need then for anyone
to be down. hearted. In spite of ali
gloomy vaccinations annexation
will come, and will give to all
classes here peace and prosperity,
will give all an opportunity of build
ing up happy homes in assured
safety, knowing that no turn of
circumstances could then ever occur
which would sweep them out of
existence by the menacing and
yellow tide OF Asiaticism. Annex
alton will come.

PACIFIC CABLE.
The British Line Will Soon be Carried
Out.

VANCOUVER, b. c., Sept. 6.-The
following named telegraph magnates
held a closed meeting today in Van
couver today in connection with the
proposed cable line from Vancouver
TO Australia: George &. Ward, vice
president and general manager of the
Commercial Cable company; S. S.
Dickinson, superintendent of the COM
pany at Canso, Nova Scotia, where the
Canadian Pacific line connects with
the Atlantic cable; r. V. Dey, secra
tary to President John w. Mackey; D..
Wilson, Pacific coast superintendent
of the Canadian Pacific telegraphs; l..
w. Storoor, superintendent of the Pa
w. Storror, superintendent of the Pa
After the meeting no news of di-
rect nature could be obtained regard
ing the business transacted, but the
statements were freely made that in
side information obtained warranted
the announcement that Canadian
Pacific cable from Vancouver to Aus
tralia would be an assured fact at a
comparatively early date, and that the
present meeting had to do with some
very important preliminary arrange
ments in which Millionaire John w.
Mackay is to take a very prominent
part.
Mr.. Storror stated that his company
would, of course, handle the Pacific
cable work at this end. and that he.
with others, would inspect the pro-
posed landing stages in British CO.
lumbia at once. The entire party win
leave for Victoria tomorrow. 1t is said
that some of the members will be pas
sengers on the outgoing Australian
boat for Honolulu. Many other indi-
cations that the long proposed British
scheme is about to materalize are now
promised to occur in quick succession.

DON'T LOSE HEART.

1t is ever darker before dawn, and
the next two months will probably
be the most trying that the sup
porters of annexation will have to
go through. 1t does seem such
long time to wait for decisive action.
But it was far longer to wait when
Congress adjourned. The condition
of mind that some of US get into
is something similar to that of
people towards the end of long
voyage, the last few hours before
reaching port seem to draw out into
days instead of hours. And this
draws on a state of WEAKNESS in
some mental constitutions and
almost apathy in others. And here
and there will come a doubt as to
whether the weary voyage ever will
be ended, whether in our case all
the work, all the anxiety is to be
crowned with success or not. 1t
will be crowned with success, of
that there is no doubt, but one is
not surprised at the spirit of weari-
ness appearing among some. The
constant attacks of open foes, the
more insidious attacks of those who
appear as friends, but who ever take
a gloomy view of the future, will
sap the faith of the weaker vessels,
but there are strong, enthusiastic
ones, besides, whom no waiting
will daunt. who know that success
is there before us, and who look for
it with stronger faith now than ever
they did in their lives.
The enormous stride which an
nexation took in June, when it
went out of theoretical politics into
practical politics, is hardly yet
realized by some. The strong
position which President Mckinley
then took, is one that pledges
annexation to us, and the pledge is
a positive one. At the outset of his
career as President, with large
questions relating to internal adj
ministration, with az important
uuduCldl quCStlOiI DSlOlC ulLi, anu
with all the chances of four UNI
known and possibly eight unknown
years before him, President Nc
Kinley deliberately pledged himself,
his administration and his party to
annexation. No such move was
mad. in any haste, or carelessly, or
without thought. The prestige of
an administration will demand that
it should be carried through, the
honor of the personnel of both the
cabinet and the party is involved in
carrying it through, and carried it
will be.
AS day follows day, the McKin ey
administration is gaining strength.
1t was at the outset thoroughly be-
li=ved in by majority it was not
believed in by large minority.
What the party promised has come
to pass. Prosperity has cast its
vivifving beams over the length and
bre& d h of the land, and no ephe-

Novelty
Week..

The smokeless stove, on
which water is boiled in our
show window, has been a great
attraction for several days to
students in philosophy. The
Jewel is a good stove, any,
way.
The special subject for the
people this week is not stoves.
That subject is a daily one.
This week you will have nov
elites of all sorts.
This is the season when the
hens go on strike and the
price of eggs goes skyward.
Hens want little encourage
ment now and then, end the
best thing known to science is
green bones. But they must
be cut up fine. We have the
best green bone cutter in the
world.
Another novelty is the soap
saver, made of re-tinned wire,
basket shaped, with long hand
les. This is the best soap
known, and we have three
sizes. They are cheaper than
dirt and much more beautify-
ing.
Dripless tea and coffee
strainers are new and very
serviceable. There's cutoff
attachment which prevents
coffee or tea from dripping on
the table cloth after the cup is
filed. Very cheap, these, and
pretty, too.
A six-knife Victor meat
chopper for quarter seems
like dream, but it isn't. We
sell them at that price, and
we sell the holdfast dust pan
the best you ever saw.
The latest in coasters is the
revolving star. Enables the
cook to toast five pieces Of
bread at once. Try one.
