Gone Home.

A bright and shining light that was

Rev. E Gunnett conducted the fun
eral services, after which, by careful
hands the remains were laid to rest in
Emily Chapel churchyard; and as the
grave hides from us the little form
that was so dear, with what force do
the words of our Savior come to our
mind-''Suffer little children TO come
unto me, for OF such is the Kingdom Of
Heaven"
One of these days the darling faces
Vanished here from the household band,
Haunting yet our familiar places.
Wooing us yet to the better land,
Smiling then in the light of Heaven,
Once again will be all our own.
One of these days twill to us be given
To stand with our darling before the throne.
One of these days will the heartache leave US,
Sorrow and mirth, and our loss and gain,
Meetings and partings of friends and loved

Sunshine of pleasure and cloud of pain.
One of these days will our hands too be
folded,
One of these days will onr work be done,
Finished the patterns, our thoughts have
nodded,
Ended our labors beneath the sun.

Twelve Reasons Why.

The st. Louis Repabltc gives dozer
good reasons why newspaper readers
should reaa this paper. Here they
are:
l. The Republtc is the greatest
newspaper published.
2. 1t has cable news service over
the entire civilized world, which no
other paper can secure.
8. Special correspondents in all
the large cities and capitals of Europe.
4. News Bureau in New York City
and Washington. d. G.
5. Special correspondents in every
city and town in the Western United
States.
6. Member of the Associated Press,
the greatest news gatherer in the
world.
Z. Publishes daily the market re-
ports of the world.
s. Issues a magnificent colored
magazine cover with the Sunday pa
per.
9. More noted writer's and artists
contribute to the Republic than any
other paper.
10. Issues an unequaled four-page
comic weekly with each Sunday paper
free.
IL. Publishes pages of interest and
value to womankind.
II. It's 10-cent Dress Pattern De-
partment is the most popular feature
ever introduced by newspaper.
Thousands patronize it.
The daily and Sunday St. Louis Re
public is Sc year, $3 for six months
and $3.50 for three months. The

want to know why their paper did not
come. Others good humoredly admit
that the account ought to have been
paid long before but money is close,
and ''say you ought TO let me have the
paper for nothing, I am a good Repub-
lican you know" No, we don't know
Wonder where they think our support
would come from if all ''good" Repub-
licans would 90 that way; they certain-
ly would not expect our Democratic
friends to do all the supporting. Some
will ask for little time to get the
money. They get the time and the
money too, we suppose. for we don't.
We have not got great many of the
kind of subscribers referred to above
but we have some of each class. Then
we have others. Some that pay their
subscription before the year is up, and
this tickles US muchly. Then there
are those who pay in advance, thank
God they are in the majority, and we
are always pleased to see them. They
know it takes money to run a news
paper. and they contribute their mite
that the printer may pay his bills
promptly"
The following ''chapter of accidents"
we clip from the Benton Record: '.Mrs.
james McPheeters noticed some one
loafing around the place Saturday
evening about dusk, and later when
Mr.. McPheeters came home and start
ed in the back door, she thought it was
some one else and ran screaming to
the porch. Mr.. McPheeters hearing
this became alarmed and broke in the
back door, which was locked, aud this
still further frightened his wife, who
fell over some trestles and down on
the brick pavement where she lay un-
til picked up. She suffered a great
deal from the shock of the fall and the
fright and had 10 secure medical as
sistance."
Says the Greenville Journal: Tom
Dunn was arrested at Poplar Bluff last
Saturday and brought to this place and
put in Jail. He is charged with try
ing to set fire to one of the lumber
sheds OF the Holiday -Klotz Co., at
Williamsville. Dunn had been work
ing at the mill at this place for some
time but on last Wednesday be got in
to a little trouble and was discharged
by the Company. The next day he
went to Williamsville. He was fol-
lowed by two men who were sent by
the Company to watch Dunn. About
twelve O'Clock that night someone was
seen going nnder the sheds with bun
die of kindling wood in his arms. This
was thought to be Tom Dunn and next
day he was arrested and brought here.
He had his preliminary examination
Monday afternoon and was bound over
to await the action of the grand jury. ="

1t has been decided that it will be
unnecessary for the Minister and his
party to remain at the Quarantine
station. Collector General vastle has
a house out beyond Kapiolani Park
which is isolated from surrounding
dwellings and at a distance from the
treat. 1t will be made ready for the
party this afternoon, so that they can
go into quarantine tonight
In the meantime the examination
of immigrants at the station will be
continued There are only 212 more of

Cooper hopes to dispatch them by sun
down, and then return with his party
to the city, to take up his residence
in retirement at the Castle residence.
OF the 46S immigrants already eX-

qualified to land. 1t - expected that
less than 100 out of the whole batch

placed on board the Kinai Maru some

of Health, and the captain advised to
return them to their native heath. If
any of those who have been refused

HAWAIIAN HISTORIAN SELECTED
FOR THE POST.
Professor Alexander Offered the Posi-
Scheme of German Lottery Co.

\ good joke is out on Professor w.
ID. Alexander, the surveyor general of
the islands. In the mail which was
brought by the steamer Mariposa on
Saturday was letter addressed 10
that gentleman, which is at the bot
tom of the fun.
The letter was from II. Thunnissen,
of Lubbock, Germany, the general
agent of the great Mecklenburg-
Schweriner gold lottery. The writer
has taken it for granted that the pro-
fessor would not refuse to assume the
Honolulu agency for his great concern
and believing him to be just the man
for the place-one that is needed to
cope with the business that should be
done on these islands-Thunnissen
took great pleasure in making Mr..
Alexander a full-fedged agent of the
greatest lottery on earth.
IN his letter the German lottery man
has enclosed five lottery tickets valued
MIR. Alexander is held personally re-
sponsible. \ postscript is added to
the epistle which says: you would
oblige me very much by informing
your honorable friends of our asso-
citation so that they might form "A COM
pany. taking several shares in com
man. Your orders will be promptly
executed. In case of your taking not
to send back those you do not intend
to keep"
The prospectus, which is enclosed,
announces $4,000 prizes among 10000
numbers. so that, more than one-half
have to win. The highest prize is
$125 200; other great prizes are 5000,
$4,000, $25, 900, $4,000 and on down.
The total prizes are 6,434,472 francs.
The drawing begins on May 10.
Thunnissen remarks that he feels
satisfied that the surveyor general will
accept the island agency, considering
the many advantages of the enter
/ pTiSt lOBtititl ~ tii thc Splil udI dh-
tees for the shareholders.
But Professor Alexander has sent
the lottery tickets all the way back
to Germany with the polite eXplana-
ton that he is not in the lottery bus
mess this year and therefore cannot
accept the 'Job. However, the profess
sor has had considerable amusement
ont of the whole thing with his
friends, whom he has approached with
a serious demeanor, asking that they
consent to go into the lottery. Many
were dumbfounded for the time being,
while others thought the world had
come to the end of the rope.
While speaking of this lottery it
might be of interest to The Stars
} readers to know that sister of Mrs.
f. y. Berndt, of this city, residing in
Germany. invested ten cents in its
drawings not long since and received
prize of S.. With this money she
