STRANGE CRAFT.
Seen by Officers and Passengers
of kinau Yesterday.

or kInau eSterQay.
Officers and passengers of the steam
er Kinau, which arrived from Maui and
Hawaii ports yesterday forenoon, re-
port having seen strange schooner at
anchor very close to the Island of La
mai while passing that way yesterday
morning. She was in a place most I'M
usual for vessels to anchor, and upon
her there seemed to be not the slightest
trace of life. The Kinau was quite a
distance away, but with the glasses
Captain Clarke succeeded in making
out the fact that she was not a vessel
belonging to this port.
OF course, as soon as the news reach
ed here, people Immediately concluded
that the strange vessel is an opium
craft This is very likely the truth.
However, there was story about on
the streets in the afternoon that po-
liceman who brought a prisoner down
from Maui, had made the statement
that the strange craft was none other
than the schooner Ada after a load of
cattle for this port. 1t turns out that
the Ada left for MAIZENA, and that port
alone, and was never sent to Lanai.
So much for the story.

APPRECIATION OF MANSFIELD
LFrom the St. Louis Republic.l

[From the St. Louis Republic.1
The American public as a whole has
not taken Mr.. Mansfield seriously be-
cause he has taken himself too seri-
4. Ously. Unlike Irving who never talks
back, the American actor has written
saucy letters to good natured newspa-
perS- lie has made speeches that have
Deen GlSlnterpreted, to his diSadVan-
tage; and in private conversations he
mas INDUCED in satire that has been
abusively thrown back. This season
ne mas reached the conclusion, appar-
entity, that, in spite of his cleVernesS
before the curtain, he is more profit
ably engaged when back of it. No
newspaper has received photographic
hot shot because somebody on its staff
1Ound anna bic fault with something
Mansheldian. If this course is pur-
sued for two or three seasons there is
little doubt as to its outcome. Mr..
Mansneld'S public will cease to think
OF what q few thousands Of persons
have been pleased to call eccentricitieS.
1t Will consider him in the right light
OF an Intelligent man in a profession
singular for its lack of high-class
thinking. Two years ago I heard a.
virtuOsic gentleman tell Mr.. Mansfield
in anything but spirit of fattery. that
MS place IN this country should be
equal to Irving's in England. When
the American actor permanently leaves
off pickering in his serious way with
the hippant crowd he will have put
aside the one bar to the general recOg-
milton of his real greatness in the
American field. AS an actor, Mr.. Mans
field is in every way the superior of Mr..
Irving. The Good Designer of all men
favored the American with a body and
counter ance more readily adaptable to
the needs of the profession. He gave to
him manners and voice and a control
of both that were denied to the lank
LOndOner. These form the foudation
of a human structure whose materials
are varied and attractive. The audi
dience that has seen Mr. Mansfield play
Prince Kari. Shylock, Baron ChervriaI,
Beau Brummel, the Rev. Mr.. Dimmens-
dale Richard Ill and Captain BluntS-
chilli has recognized some of the vary
ing sides of the man.

GOOD ENOUGH no FRAME

In a recent letter to the head of the
Topeka fire department Mayor Fellows
took occasion to lay down some sound
propositions in connection with the
conduct of every portion of the city's
business. He set forth in emphatic
language the city's commendable de
termination that its employees shall be
temperate, shall pay their bills, shall
be industrious and be competent.
The following paragraphs from the
letter might we'll be put in a frame
and hung over the desk of every head
of a department in the city of Topeka
Other cities too could profit by observ-
ing the suggestions:
referring to our recent conversa-
ton, I desire to say that I fully agree
with you that in order to conduct the
fire department in an efficient manner
1t is absolutely necessary that the men
employed therein restrain from the use
of Intoxicating liquor.
1t is my intention to enforce this
rule in all the departments of the city
government and the use of intOxicants
will be deemed a just cause for imme-
date dismissal.
The mayor and council have also
adopted a resolution requiring those in
the employ of the city to pay their Just
debts. The city renders fair cOmpenSa-
ton to those in its employ, and it is not
right that they should obtain credit
city and then neglect or refuse to pay
their obligations.
This order has been in effect for
some time and has been generally COM
piled with, but a few have persistently
dfsregarded it and it is necessary in or
der to carry out in the proper spirit of
the resolution that the heads of each
department report to the mayor any
disregard of this rule that may come to
their observation.
I am anxious that the employees of
this city should be regarded by every
one as sober, Industrious and honest
The city is more interested in securing
the services of competent individuals
than it is in employing those whose
chief claim to preferment is that they
can control a primary or an election.
1t is not necessary for me to suggest
to you that in selecting men to fiji the
vacancies thus Occasioned that you Sc
lect men on account of their special fit
ness for the work required Merit and
not politics, ought to be the controlling
factor in your department.

Over 500 bushels of corn have already
been contributed to the India relief fund
and still there is more forthcoming.
This speaks well for the liberality of
the people of Sumner county. The little
city of Dalton raised $40 in cash yester-
day at their church services for the
relief of suffering India.-WelIingto
Mail
THE little city Of Dalton would bet
ter be raising $40 for the sufferers by
the floods in the Mississippi valley.
The chances are that that $40 will never
get to India. In some rural communf-
ties, the farther off the suffering is, the
more gush and the more cash there is
outfiowing to relieve it. Charity for the
other side of the earth while there is
dire suffering at home is a bubble that
needs puncturing

REPUBLIcANIsM IN ITALY.

LFrOm the London SPECTATOR
The Roman correspondent of the
Times, who is entirely favorable to the
dynasty of Savoy, reports a great in
crease in Republican feeling through
out the peninsula. Rome itself has re
turned Republican deputy, while diff
ferent districts have sent up twenty
seven others. Many of those who called
themselves Radicals, and, Of course, all
socialists. are also Republicans Italy
is, we think, too sensible to change her
form of government, but it seems GER
tain that discomfort is deep-seated and
growing. The alliance with Germany
has brought nothing except excessive
taxation, made more bitter by suspi-
ciOns of corruption in the collections;
the military prestige of the monarchy
has been impaired by the defeat in
Abyssinia; there have been no adequate
reforms in Sicily, where the situation
is deplOrable, and We believe the policy
of the government in adhering to the
concert, and agreeing to occupy Crete
while still under an Oppressor's flag, is
most unpopular. For many of the
evils of Italy the chamb and not the
monarchy, is responsible; but through
out southern Europe in France, in
Spain, in Italy and in Greece the per
manent tendency of the people when
disconnected is to believe that the only
sufficient remedy is a cahnge in the
form of government.

A NEW ENGLAND HosTELRY

GAlvin F. Sanborn in the May Atlanticl
The host and hostess are far past
middle life. Having long been free from
the necessity of any kind of labor they
are keeping up their house partly from
force OF habit partly as a public con-
venience, and partly (and it would ap-
pear primarily for the sake of the So
ciety it brings them. For, their four
surviving children having all married
and made homes of their own. the par
ents would be inSufferably lonely with
out the constant coming and going of
their guests, who have gradually grown
to be sort of second family to them
These guests are mainly lumbermen
and farmers from the adjacent district
and the few travelling statesmen who
regularly visit Indian Ridge for orders
The hotel has sold no liquor for more
than dozen years, and it is almost as
long since the hotel sign has been dis
played. The proprietOrs reserve to
themselves the precious privilege of re-
fuSing undesirable guests, particularly
tiOnable order, with one or two of which
in the past. they have had disag reea BILE
experiences.
The absence of a tap-room debars
that atmosphere of jovial good cheer
one likes to associate With the country
tavern, and the sedulous personal ser
vice of the public houses of the Old
World is lacking; wants are rarely an
ucipated. Nevertheless the Lincoln
House is most comfortable and home
IKE hosiery, to which you feel you
have an honest welcome. Indeed Mr.
and Mrs. West devote so much of their
time to agreeable converse with their
guests, invariably preside at the
table,-and business, spite of the neces-
sary fOrmality of the bill, enters so lit
tie into the account. that stopping with
them amounts to visiting at the house
OF a substantial farmer.

CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE MISSIONARY INSTITUTE
cornerstone for a new missionary insti-
tute at South Nyack, N. Y. The struc-
ture is to be rushed through to compile
ton by August, for it is to take the
place of another one in New York city
which was OutgrOwn more than year
ago. The new building is to be PAT feet
long, with wings which give it depth
of between 60 and 70 feet.
This is one indication of the extent of
the growth of the Christian alliance.
There are now more than 200, 900 &C
tive members in the organization, and
each year 800, 600 is spent in foreign
missionary work DR.. Simpson is the
originator of some very successful
methods of raising funds, and he has
conducted some sensational meetings.
1t was DR.. Simpson who wrought his
audience at Old Orchard, Ne, up to
such pitch that they gave basketsful
of watches, rings and other gold and
jeweled ornaments to the missionary
cause. He has repeated such scenes in
New York city several times.
The new missionary institute at South
Nyack is to be used as a training school
for missionaries and will constitute only
the nucleus for large group of build
ings which the alliance hopes to erect
there. 1t is located on tract of 20 acres
situated on the mountain side and on the
west shore of the Hudson, about %
miles above New York city.
From the site of the new institute
a most beautiful view of the surround
ing country is to be had The building
full itself will be a plain but handsome
and solidly built structure having sleep
ing accommodations for about $50 stu
dents besides a chapel and classrooms.
DR.. Simpson will in future make his
home in South Nyack, and it is expected
that many other enthusiastic alliance
members will locate there also, so that
in time a large Christian settlement
will be formed

RAID ON THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The Philadelphia Telegram says: The
local movement against the civil ser
vice system seems to be gaining
strength. Every day there are aces
sions to the ranks of the faction which
would bring infinite discredit upon the
Republican party of Philadelphia by
placing it in the lead of the anti-reform
crusade. The executive committees of
four wards as well as a number of clubs
have already adopted resolutions de-
nouncing the civil service system and
demanding the repeal of the laws
which uphold it.
The clubs count for little; they are
made up largely of workers who
naturally chafe against the barriers
which have been erected around the
public service. With the ward commit
tees the case is different. They. too, are
run by the workers but their mem
bership is. or ought to be, representa-
tive of the rank and file of the Republi-
can party in their respective localities,
and it should reflect the prevailing
sentiment of the party, which is re-
sponsible for the Inauguration of the
civil service reform. and committed to
its maintenance by the most solemn
pledges.
There is no danger that this raid on
the public offices by the politicians Of
the baser sort who happen to be allied
to the Republican party will be success
full Movements like that which abol-
ished the spOils system in our national
administration do not go backwards,
and cannot be forced backwards. They
may be halted and harassed but the
united efforts of all the "workers''in the
country cannot turn them permanently
aside. The ward committees which de-
mand a return to the old order of
things do not represent the sentiment
of the Republican party; if they did,
it would no longer be the Republican
party
