Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed, when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of
a tonic and Alternative is felt A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache, In
diges ton, Constipation, Dizziness yield
to Electric Bihers. SOC and 81 per bot

Some Quaint olden Time New York Busi-
ness and Social Addresses.
In the first directory of New York
, city, which was issued in 1856, there
are some peculiar and quaint entries
Fer instance, in those days it was not
uncommon for medical practitioners to
sell drugs, as is shown by the following
address, Samuel Bredhurst, physician
and apothecary, Ga Queen (now Pearl)
street. -
Clergymen Of that period were ex-
ceedingly precise regarding their titlos.
Thus, Abraham Bache, reverend Of the
Church of England, 20 Smith street, "
and "Joze Phelan, clergyman of the
Church of Rome, l Beekman street "
Leon Rogers, tailor of 30 Broadway,
was described as a "breeches maker"
John Bean, GO Broadway, as surgeon
and tooth puller;" S. Crygier, 90 Cherry
street, punch and porter house," Jo
Deleplaue of 1872 Queen street, Quaker
speaker" D. Hitchcock, SO Queen
street, "bouse carpenter and undertake
err" John HIGHLAND, 95 Queen street,
fiddler, etc. :" Henry H. Kip, 25 King
street, inspector of pot and pearl
ashes" John Nitchie, Garden street,
starch and hair powder maker" Sam
uel b. Webb, 20 Lower Dock street,
gentleman.
In those days, too, there were n great
many "gentlewomen" and few wash
women All teachers were then ad-
dressed either as "schoolmasters" or
"schoolmistresses. The retail dealers
on Broadway and Wall and Queen streets
called themselves "shopkeepers, the
hotel men were tavern keepers, and
thepolicemen were "watchmen. New

such unbounded and unparalleled
generosity towards the rich children
Of Uncle Sam9 But the Examiners
statement is on its face au obvious,
bold, and unblushing lie, intended
to delude and obfuscate the ignor-
ant and unwary, and to serve an end
the Examiner dare not frankly state.
The truth is, that Honolulu is not
a money center. The little coin it
takes from here is what it needs to
pay its Japanese, Chinese, Portu-
guese and native laborers with, and
that, it appears, amounts one year
with another to only fifteenth
part Of it's total export. In other
words, the planter pays his labor
less than six and one quarter percent
upon his surplus product, with
nothing for that required for the
home market. The remainder Of
the balance Of trade in favor OF Ha-
wall goes from here to wherever the
planter can find the best use for it.,
which is certainly not Honolulu. 1t
goes either for investment or debt
paying wherever it is needed. 1t is
certain we owe not those money
grabbing planters dollar. We pay
either them or their assigns hun
dred cents on the dollar all the
time. Furthermore, we have made
them total present of $S0,000,000
in related sugar duties, and this
whilst they have exacted from us
the same price for their sugar as the
least favored nation. All this in the
much misused name Of reciprocity.

Still Humbugging Its Readers

The INSCRIPTIONS Examiner re-
fuses to be set right, because it
wants to be wrong, to serve per-
sonal end. 1t persists that we
should tax ourselves over 100000
a year to literally give to the Hawai-
ian planter. 1t then endeavors to
humbug its readers into the belief
that there is large profit to us in
this absolute gift. 1t has the tenn
Gritty to foist this manifestly false
deductions upon people believed
to be intelligent. 1t says that
during the last calendar year: ave
received from Hawaii $l5, ,977 in
goods, whilst we sent only I,l84,351
in exchange. On any system in
private business, these figures would
show that we made profit of
$ll,060,626." What arrant nonsensel
Fancy those notably avaricious
planters being satisfied with about
twenty-sevep cents on dollarl But
this planters organ tries again in
these words: "We sent to Hawaii
during the year 1896 the sum of
Sl,065,279 in gold, and $4,000 in
silver. This is the total shipment
in settlement of the balance. The
other $9,92l, 44S was profit. We
snapped off $5,s29,529 in cash and
merchandise for goods worth $l5,-
244,977" 1t then estimates that we
have, during the twenty years the
so.called reciprocity treaty has been
in existence, received from Hawaii
$l07, 557, 455 more than we have paid
her. Poor little country of only
5000 whites How in the name Of
conscience has she stood such a
drain upon her very limited re-
sources7 Marvellous, is it not, that
such hungry blood suckers of peon
laborers should be distinguished by

IN go YEARS.
Britain's Progress During the Queens
Reign.

Reign.
In discussing the Budget last
month, the British Chancellor OF
the Exchequer made the following
interesting statements:
The export of home produce in
1886 amounted to f42,000,000, and
last year f24O,OOO,OOO out, OF these
increases had occurred, great and
permanent benefit to the working
classes, In no way could they have
better index to the condition of
the working classes than by the
Post Office Savings Bank In 1886
the deposits were f18,750,000 depo.
sited by $4,000 persons, while last
year they were fl55,000,000 deposit
ed by 8,390,000 persons. While in
1886 out of every 43 men, women,
and children, only one was deposit
tor, there was now one out OF every
5. (Cheers) There were also great
advances in the receipts from nom
taxed sources. In 1886 only two
and half millions were derived
from this source, while in 1896 the
figures we're Is millions. (Cheers)
OF course this had come mainly
from the great expansion OF our
postal services. The expe nditure
on the Army, Navy, and Civil AID.
ministration had risen from f16,-
to f70,000,000; but this increased
expenditure was necessary, because
OF the enormous expansion OF the
Empire and of our commerce, be-
cause of the increased cost OF arma-
ment in modern times, but, most of
all, because of greatly increased
military and naval forces of foreign
countries, but il the increased ex.
penditure was remarkable, the de-
creases in expenditure was more re-
markable still.
In 1886 the burden on the people,
owing to the National Debt, was 30
percent of their total expenditure,
while now it amounted to only %
percent, The interest and manage
ment then cost f27,O0O,O00 against
fl7000,000 in the present day. Was
it surprising, therefore, that the
value of Cousols had increased 80
much. Another reduction in e1-
penditure had been in the collection
Of taxes, where it had been from
f5l42 to f217S. The last head was,
perhaps, the most interesting,
namely, the cost OF the Monarchy,
and this had fallen from 1854 600 to
f1S5,000 We had the best and
cheapest Monarchy in the world,
and everything testified to the in
crease, during Her Majesty's reign,
OF the moral and material we'll being
Of the United Kingdom.

A WRITER OF INTERESTING ARTICLES.

Among the contributors to the coluns of the Newtown (Cenn, BEE, is George w. Bradley, cousin of George B. Calhoun and Mrs F. L. Couldock, of this village. MT Bradley was born and brought up near Newtowp. and it has been the home of his ancestors for many years, the Bradleys having been among the pioneer settlers of that locality. He holds a ready pen, and his articles are both reminiscent and scientific in charac ter. A local story contributed to THE BEE by him ia November, contains a partial description of the great meteoric shower of November 1883, which so ter rified the people all over the United States as they thought the end of the world was at hand. That evening Mir Bradley, who had been calling on dis tant neighbor, was on his way homeward, his route lying through piece of woods, and he had 8 chance to observe the phenomenon in all it's different phases. Mr Bradley is evidently an enthusiastic botanist, and we'll acqsinted with the f ,ra of that locality. Putnam County Republican.

 NATURE SEEMED IN HARMONY and showed mellow wiuLer sunlight on an earth ot dazzi. Z whiLeness, making the day pleasure outside us well as in- side the spacIous schoolhouse. 1t was MT Staples 95Lh birthday and as he sat and watched with ketn interest and eL- jJyment the proceedings of the day it was not hard to imagine that he had grown year younger instead of a year older. His general health is very good and every day finds him still attending to business duties at the Westport bank, uf which he is the honored president, be- sides attending to numerous private in- Gerests. He is truly marvelously pre- served man; no doubt a reward for a fife which te has tired the best in his way to have well and .honor- ably spent.
 The exercises of the day opened at l0:30 o'clock in the morning with an en- Jertainment by the school, of song, reel tation, composition and dialogue. Henry 5. Pratt, A. M., who has been the &C., cepLable principal of the school for sev- en years past, was in charge of the pro- gram, ably assisted by his assistant teachers, Misses Bessie K. Taylor, Clara L. Plling and Anna G. Bradley. The children did their parts well, and their efforts were appreciated by good audience of the townspeople who had gathered in the assembly hall of the school building to attest their in- terest. Following is the program rem dered:
