It's the same story. The experience

snIted. and their prescription of potash
and mercury is taken faithfully. but
Without result. Months pass, and the

finally, his condition being no better,

discouraged and decides to change
treatment.

results are the same. S. S. 8. is the

It is the only one that contains no

ANNEXATIoM OF HAWAII.
Senator Frank Cannon OF Utah Regards
the Islands with Favor.


81 have been jokingly accused by
some of my colleagues at Washington,
said Mr.. Cannon, "of designing to an
mex Hawaii to Utah. They think they
puncture some sentimental view they
suspect me Of having when they say
that Of course there are certain asso-
Citations that may influence me to q
slight extent. Looking at the question
as l would at any other of the same mo-
mentous import, consider it in three
phases. These factors are the Hawaiian
people, the foreign policy Of the United
States and finally the marvellous growth
and marked progress Of at least one Of
the great nations of the orient. With
these islands first a territory and then
state of the American Union, the racial,
the political, the commercial, preserva-
ton of the people here with vested
rights is assured forever The time is
ripe for the United States to look to her
sea borders. Our form of government
must be put to the test wherever there
is opportunity. The institutions and
the ideas of the far east, as they are
now, cannot be permitted to trench upon
the natural territory of the stars and
stripes. Aside from any causes that
might be of personal nature, am for
the annexation Of these islands to the
United States
when will the treaty be concluded
I should say during the session of con-
gress that is to begin in December next.
Yes, I feel certain, am positive, that
it will be in the course of this session.
The matter may be brought to deter
mination during the winter. Itmay not
be settled SO soon. A great deal depends
upon the volume Of other business
upon the nature of it, upon the humor
of the senate and the house. Your an
nexationists here have powerful and
alert allies in either branch. You have
able men at your legation. Mr.. Hatch,
Mr.. Thurston, Mr. Kinney and Mr.
Castle are the type of citizens who carry
the conviction that you have down here
the material for the construction of a
worthy state. Hawaiian Gazette.

"HEAvENsTON" NOT LIKED.
Miss Wizards Suggestion of a Change In
the Name of Evanston.

Miss Wizards Suggestion of Change In
the Name of Evanston.
When the news was received recent
ly at Evanston, Ills, from Buffalo that
Miss Frances E. Willard had suggested
that the name of her home town be
changed to "Heavenston, there were
protestations from all sides. Modesty,
if nothing else, prevents the assumption
of celestial title for the pretty univer-
sity town. Miss Wizards friends do
not believe she seriously thought the
name should be changed, but that it
was intended for delicate compliment
to the town which has curfew law
and where liquor can only be had at
"blind pigs. )"
1t is said that the title was first ap-
piled to Evanston by an Englishman
The story is that, having heard of Miss
Willard and REST cottage" he plan
ned to visit the town When he came
to take the train at the Wells street sta
ton, he inquired of the guard:
els this the train for 'Heavenston?' ;"
Whereupon the guard promptly re-
piled:
"No, this is the train for Helgin "
The story was told to Miss Willard,
and she has ever since cherished the be-
lief that the name "Heavenston" was
appropriate
