 The French say it is the impossible that happens" This has been proved to be the case with the Mount Lebanon Shakers. The whole scientific world has been laboring to cure dyspepsia, but every effort seemed to meet with defeat. The suffering from stomach troubles has become almost universal. Multitudes have no desire for food aud that which they do eat causes them pain and distress. Sleeploss nights are the rule and not the exception, and thousands of suffer CTS have become discouraged.
 The Shakers of Mount Lebanon re- gently came to the front with their new Digestive Cordial, which contains not only food already digested, but is a digester of food.
 It promptly relieves nearly all forms of indigestion. Ask your druggist for one of their books.

DON'T LET UP.

Writing from the States a friend
says: I'VE have mighty good
chance to get annexation next ses-
sion, but il will not do for our
Government to sit on their tail and
let things come their way. They
must be up and hustling and doing.
There is no question about it but
that they must have good men in
Washington next winter. 1t is
going to take hard work to get the
treaty through the Senate and our
men should not be stinted in their
efforts. The Government has made
a step in advance and they must
not give up even in the face of ex-
IRENE difficulties and the greatest
Encouragement, but there is every
sign of encouragement, and the
cause of annexation has countless
supporters.
All this is true. We hold a
strong position, we have many
powerful friends, but we must not
relax i'll any way the work we have
been doing. The price of liberty
they say is eternal vigilance, and
the price Of obtaining a share Of the
liberty, the free government and
safety of being part of the United
States, is continued and determined
work for the cause.

IT DOES HAVE INFLUENCE.

The statement as to the lack Of
influence of what is written here
upon people abroad is entirely mis-
leading. The actual circulation of
the Island papers is not large, but
the information they give and the
news they hold are copied into the
press of the United and other
countries, and in that way have a
far larger influence than one would
imagine, merely judging by their
actual circulation. When the
Hawaiian question was before the
Senate, leading articles from the
Advertiser, the Bulletin and the
Star were quoted in the New York
papers The San Francisco Chroni-
Gle and the Examiner reprinted
Island views upon the situation.
Several of the leading articles of The
Star were copied and commented
upon in the Washington Star, in II e
Sacramento Union, in the Seattle
Post Intelligeucer, and in many OF
the small papers of California. In
going through the files not only
does one find the views Of the ISL
and papers extracted, but one
can see where ideas have been in
spired by what has appeared in
them. And it must be remembered
that what we actually see here is by
no means all that appears upon the
subject. Thus the papers OF these
Islands do not speak only to circle
of two or three thousand readers,
but their views are read by hundreds
of thousands of readers.
If we turn to the East we find
the japanese and Chinese papers
quoting from the Honolulu papers,
and the whole series of articles
which appeared in The Star upon
the Japanese question shortly before
and after the Naniwa arrived were
translated and published in one OF
the vernacular papers published in
Toxic.
1t is needless to point out to what
large circle of readers the maya
zine articles which have been pub
lished on Hawaii have appealed.
Residents here, tourists and others
have written upon the Islands,
giving their political, social and
picturesque characteristics.
1t is quite true that more might
be done, it is quite true that more
should have been done, but to OBJ
tain that wider influence, which all
desire, it is no use to fall foul of
previous effort. The proper thing
to do is to go right at it and use
greater effort for the future. Don't
dwell upon the past and maunder
over split milk, but get the jug full
again and go ahead.

Novelty
Week..

The smokeless stove, on
which water is boiled in our
show window, has been 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, and 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 a cutoff
attachment which prevents
coffee or tea from dripping on
the table cloth after the cup is
filled. Very cheap, these, and
pretty, too.
A six-knife Victor meat
chopper for a quarter seems
like a dream, but it isn't. We
sell them at that price, and
we sell the holdfast dust pan

The Harmony Socfety's Ball.

The seventh annual full dress bail of the
Harmony Society took place at the Wash
ington Light Infantry armory last night
and for about four hours and a half the
upper circles of the sporting fraternity,
dressed in the gayest of attire. enjoyed the
excellent music and left cares behind in
the maZy dance. The affair was evidently
given with some idea of obscuring the
identity of the originators of the ball. for
the program appeared without a name on
it. save that of the society.
1t was not until after II o'clock that the
merrymakers began to arrive, but shortly
after that hour they began to come in twos
and threcs and then in crowds. and in
about an hour the hall was comfortably
full. A dancing program of nineteen num-
bers was made out, but the lanciers, polkas
and like dances were tabcoed, and only
waltzes and tWo-steps were to be heard.
The ladies were dressed in all styles and
fashions, but as a rule the attirng was
elegant aud decorous, although deCoilet.
dresses were much in evidence. The men
We're dressed in all sorts of rigs. from the
everyday business togs to the faultlcss
full-dress swallow-tail. Every one enjoyed
the affair. however. and hardly any one
left before the general breaking up of the
ball.
Those who attended in hope of seeing
some sensational features were disap-
pOtHltu, IOi Il SlFfl atmosphere Vi pro-
priety prevailed. and in not a single in
stance We're the rules of good behavior
broken. There were any number of police
men scattered in and around the hall. and
their eagle eyes soCn detected any undue
hlarity. the warning that followed being
needed in a most dOcile manner. A number
of the gilded youths who delight to be
known men-about-town were in evil
dcnce, and the wine room reaped Il har-
vest. There was no high-kicking nor any
attempt at any. and the police on duty had
an easy task. that seemed already cut out
and dried for them.

tween two well-known musicians, Miss
Grace Hamilton Jones, piaast, and Mrs.

cert was unusually enjoyable, but the num-
bers given by the above mentioned ladies
were the features of the evening. Miss
Jones played LisZts Hungarian Rhapsodfe
No. 12, and gave 1t in such a manner that
it called forth rapturous applause, and
distinct demand for another number. In
response she gave delicate ballad by
Chopin, in direct contrast to the first piece,
but played with the same power of express
sion and the same briliancy of execution.
Later Miss Jones played Moszkowskis
.'Tarantelle.' giving the wel-known num-
Der in splendid manner. Mrs. Shir-Chf
sang the music from the mad scene of

and clear. The others who participated In
