ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Fhur'ton on Missionary Visit to
This Country.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-Lorin A.
Thurston, ex-minister of Hawaii to the
United States, arrived from the islands
today. Thurston, as president of the
Annexation Club of Honolulu, expects
to accomplish considerable missionary
work in aid Of the annexation move
ment before his return home. His mis-.
sion sion is not an official one, he says, and
he has not been sent here either by the
government or by the Annexation Club.
lie says, however, that if the opportu-
nifty presents itself, he proposes to exert
his best efforts to aid the annexation
movement. He says:
The all absorbing theme Of discus
sion in the islands just now in annexa-
ton. AS the day for the Inauguration
OF Mckinley approaches, interest in the
annexation question is becoming in
tensitied and widespread. The Annex
alton Club has been reorganized. and
now has membership of 5000. OF
this number, third or fourth are
natives. The natives are joining the
movement with the idea that the an.
neXation of the islands to the United
States is their only salvation from the
Japanese, who are elbowing them in
various fields of labor.
The census of the islands has lust
been completed. The census shows a
population of 81 900 natives s, 900 half.

0NE OF NATURES NOBLEMEN
A Rossland Miners Unpre-
cedented Heroism.
AT THE RISK OF HIS OWN LIFE
Prevented an Ore Bucket From Fall
ing Upon Two Men by Throwing
Himself Upon Whirring Windlass.

Spokane, Feb ia rare act of
heroism, such as deserves to be recorded
in history and song, was performed at
Rossland, B. c., today, which saved the
lives of two miners and proved plain
Jim Hemsworth to be one of natures
noblemen.
Jem Smith and Frank Conson were
working at the bottom of a narrow
shelf of the Young America mine, at
depth Of nearly $50 feet, engaged in
loading ore into an iron-bound bucket,
while Jim Hemsworth's duty consisted
in hauling the bucket to the surface by
means Of windlass. The heavy bucket
filled with ore, had almost reached The
top Of the shelf when the iron crank of
the windlass snapped in two like bit
of pine, hurting Hemsworth to the
ground.
Springing to his feet half dazed by
the blow, Hemsworth saw the windlass
whirring around at frightful rate of
speed as the loaded bucket shot down
the shaft upon the men below. He had
not second to lose. There was just
one chance to save them, and he took
that chance. Jumping forward, he
threw his body upon the cogs of the
whirring windlass, thrusting his arms
and shoulder between the swiftly re-
volving wheels. Their iron jaws
crunched and tore the flesh, crushed
nerves, bone and sinews, tore CHASTITY
wounds from finger-tip to shoulder, but
the windlass stood still. With an
awful jerk the bucket stopped just
above the heads of the two men far
down the shaft.
Pale as death, with the blood flowing
in streams and suffering intense agony,
Hemsworth never uttered cry nor
even sound, as the jaws of the wheels
pinioned him fast as in a vice. Super
intendent Shields, who witnessed the
accident from short distance away,
rushed to Hemsworth's 8 aid and blocked
the machinery.
AS Hemsworth staggered back and
was about to fall Shields caught him
in his arms, at the same time exclaim-
ing: my God, Jiml This is awfulp'
"Oh, what's the difference?" replied
the plucky fellow, $50 long as 1 saved
tie boys?"
His wounds were dressed and the in
jured man made as comfortable as
could be under the circumstances. The
attending physicians are at this time
unable to state how serious HENS
worth's injuries are likely to result,
but unless he is hurt internally they
hope to save his life. His arm, how
ever, in all likelihood will have to be
amputated at the shoulder.

TARIFF REVISION FIRST.



Washington, Feb. 5.-McKinley has
determined to let financial reform wait
upon a tariff revision. All he will eX-
pect of the extra session of congress in
the way of legislation is that it shall
speedily pass a new tariff bill. He
wants it to put the machinery in mo-
tion for currency legislation at later
date, however, by making provision
for joint commission of senators and
representatives and report at the regu-
lar session of congress.
A man recently in Canton said he
talked at length with Mckinley about
the extra session, and he found the
president-elect had determined to con-
fine his message at the opening of that
session practically to the tariff and cur
rency. He will urge the speedy pas
sage of tariff bill for the double pro-
tecting purpose OF American interests
and filling the treasury.
The informant said he understood
Mckinley would make no specific rec
concentrations as to the policy which
ought to be pursued in reforming the
monetary system of the country, but
would refer in general terms to the me-
cessity of doing something, and advise
congress to create joint commission
to sit during the recess and prepare a
comprehensive scheme to be reported
next December.

Turn clay Into Gold and Silver.

st. Louis, Feb. l5.-Benjamin Bra.
zelle, a scientist and Inventor, we'll
known among men of his class, claims
to have discovered the key to electric
ity and the transmutatiOn of clay into
gold, silver and iron, and to have per-
fected his discovery to an extent that
will revolutionize the science of chem
istry.
His demonstrations have been so
satisfactory as to enlist the incorpora-
tion of company by number of cap
italists to put them into practical
effect. The company has already
started its plant at Fairlawn, in st.
Louis county. 1t will soon be COM
pleted and ready, its projectors assert,
to turn out aluminium, gold, silver,
iron and many other metals not known
to science, all manufactured from COM
mon clay.
By actual test, it is stated, Mr.. Bra.
zelle changed silver to gold and gold
into silver. The transmutation, he
says, is an insignificant part of the dis
coveries he has made-a mere nothing
in comparison with the changing of
clay into gold, silver, iron, calcium,
aluminium, glacium and fifteen other
metals not known to science and whose
qualities have not yet been determined
by the discoverer.

Tho Sugar. Growera, Claims.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The house
appropriations committee had a debate
today over the proposition to put in the
sundry civil bill the claims of the
sugar-growers for more than $1,000
900 more bounty money. The sub
committee, which framed the bill, was
in favor Of the appropriation, but the
full committee, by vote of 9 to 7, re-
fused to insert it in the bill. Chair
man Cannon made a strong speech
against putting the claim in the sundry
civil bill, which, he said, was already
too large. Louisiana and Nebraska
representatives will endeavor to have
the senate add the bounty to the bill.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The house
today resumed consideration of the
postoffice appropriation bill Immediate
ly after the reading of the journal. 1t
was arranged that the general debate
should close in one hour.
Bromwell, Republican, of Ohio, re-
sumed his argument against the appro-
priation of $4,000 for special mail
facilities from Boston to New Orleans
Replying to Swanson's remarks yester-
day, he declared it was absurd to say
that the Southern railroad carried
more mail than any other trunk line
in the country. There We're, he said,
twenty-five trunk lines, which carried
more mail than the Southern.
After further debates, in which the
old arguments on the Southern fast
mail item were restated, the bill was
taken up for amendment, and amend
ments were adopted reducing the ap-
preparation for free delivery in the
new offices from $l4O, 900 to 500, 1000,
while the appropriation for expert
mental rural free delivery was increased
from $50,O00 to 100000

TURPlE AND MORGAN.
Resumed Their Speeches ON the Arbi-
tration Treaty.

tration Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 13.-The senate
spent the greater part of the day in ex-
ecutive session debating the Anglo
American arbitration treaty. The en-
tire time was consumed by Senators
Turpie and Morgan, the former in ad-
vocacy of and the latter in opposition
to ratification. No action was taken
on any amendment or any part of the
treaty, and but little appreciable prog
ress was made.
The session opened with Senator
Turpie's speech, which was a reply to
Senator Morgan's attack upon the treaty
and demand for its ratification by the
senate without any amendment He
opposed the amendments made by the
committee on foreign relations as use
less, and as having a tendency both to
weaken the treaty and render it inhar-
monious in construction. He laughed
at and held up to ridicule Senator Nor
gan's fears of the effect of the accept
ance of the treaty, saying that so astute
an American as the senator from Ala
bama should not fear to be led into
trap set by England He declared the
United States, as a nation, was big
enough to be perfectly independent ana
fearless in such matter, and said we
ought to set an example to other
nations in all matters looking to the
promotion of the reorganization of
peace, which was the paramount pur-
pose of the pending agreement. He
contended that the perfection of the
treaty would have the effect Of prevent
ing such war panics as those which fol-
lowed the excitement over Venezuela,
as the existence of treaty providing
for the submission of all questions to
arbitration would be both a guarantee
against war with England and safe
guard in case of war with other coun-
tries. He also urged that, in case it
was found the enforcement of the terms
of the treaty involved the Monroe doc
trine and the Nicaragua canal. the
question could then be taken up by
congress and acted upon as effectively
as at present.
Senator Turpie declared that arbitra-
tion would not prevent war, but it was
one Of the means that tend in that
direction. War scares, when there
was no excuse and when there was no
possibility of war, would be averted by
the adoption of general arbitration
with the leading nations Of the world.
At the conclusion Of Turpie's re-
marks Senator Morgan took the floor
and went over the ground which he had
previously discussed, paying particular
attention to the points made by Senator
Turpie, especially the points relative to
the Nicaragua canal. He declared that
under the treaty, and unless specifically
protected by an amendment, especially
the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, the canal would be subject to
arbitration. Morgan also pointed out
the influence which England was exert
ing in the Central American states, and
declared that the senate of the United
States must protect the interests of this
country. He replied to Turpie's atti.
tude, and said if the Indiana senator
was such a man Of peace as he now pro.
fessed to be, he created very false i'm.
preston in his attitude on the Cuban
question.

Many persons experience great fatigue
in working and reading by artificial light.
Some attention has been given to this sub
ject, especially in view of reading and
study, and the type, paper and illumina-
ton most favorable to comfort and health.
White light is recommended for all artifl
cial illumination. One should never read
at lower degree of light than ordinary
daylight. Very low intcnsities cause eye
strain and weakness which may result in
exceedingly severe and even dangerous
mental and physical conditions. 1t is now
an established fact that epilepsy is some
times caused by eye strain. There are also
many other maladies that are primarily
caused and greatly aggravated by bad
light while using the eyes. Some authori-
ties recommend white paper. Others, not
ably experienced journalists, insist that
straw colorCd paper and black ink are less
taxing t. tie eyes than white paper

NOTICE or SUMMER SCHOOL.
The Education Department Calls Its
Teachers Together.

The Minister and Commissioners OF
Public instruction announce that the
Summer School will be in session at
Honolulu from the 18th to the 2sth of
July. 1897. The school will work in
two sections. the first making a speci-
atty of preparation for the eXamina-
tion for teachers primary certificates,
and the second making a speciality of
the theory and practice of teaching.
Some method work will he done in the
first section, and some assistance will
be given in the second section to those
preparing for the examination for
teachers grammar grade certificates.
Those public school teachers not hold
ing second class primary certificates
valid for the coming school year, or
equally good credentials of scholar
ship, will work in the first section,
unless admitted to the second section
by the director. Those holding such
credentials will be advised to work
in the second section, as general
rule. The two sections will meet to-
gether at the High School building,
on Wednesday, July Z, at 9 o'clock n.
m.
A teaching force consisting of a
number of the best teachers in the
employ of the Department has been
secured to give instruction in the
various brancehs. Professor Elmer f.
Brown, Phi. d., of the University of
California. will give instruction in
pedagogy to both sections. Probably
no man has eXerted a greater or bet
ter influence upon the schools of Cali
fornia in recent years than has DR..
Brown, and the teachers of Hawaii
are fortunate in securing his assist
ance even for so short a time. The
Inspector General of Schools will be
the director of the Summer School,
and he will discuss at length with
both sections the new course of study
which will be published at that time
and will be introduced into the schools
at the beginning of the next school
year, in September.
The Minister and Commissioners in
wife the attendance of all teachers of
all public and private schools, of all
persons DESTROYS of becoming teachers,
and of all other persons interested in
any line of work to be pursued in the
Summer School. Tuition will be free
in all departments.
Examinations for teachers primary
certificates will be held at Honolulu
July 30 and 30, and for grammar grade
certificates July 90, 90, and 81.

be safer. A few days ago prominent gen

Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in

What Brush's Remedy Will Do

We desire to be distinctly under
stood that breOcnt0A is aimed at
rather than cure. AS will be seen
by many of the testimonials, it very
often does effect cure, and even
if not taken until the tendency to
nausea becomes manifest, will al
most always give much relief. The
claim, however, is not made upon
its curative properties, but we do
emphatically state that as preven-
tative it is as nearly infallible as
anything mundane can be-and we
only wish to assert that which the
experience of those who use the
remedy will fully substantiate.
Though a comparatively new
remedy, hundreds Of appreciative
letters unsolicited, have been and
are being received from extensive
travellers and globe trotters bearing
on the merits of this remedy.
