MULVANEY NOT IN IT.
How Private Takahashi Took a
Steamer Single Handed.

\ japanese history of the war with
China has been published and, accord
ing to the Japan Herald, it must con-
tain some interesting stories. The
following, descriptive of the prowess
of Private Takahashi, is worthy of
taking rank with the famous Lung
tunpen adventure of Rudyard Kip
ling. 1t appears that while marching
along the coast a Lieutnant deserted
small steamer at anchor and order
ed Takahashi to go and capture it
and shoes, Takahashi at once sprang
into the water, though it was Jelly
cold, and apparently sure to stop him
before getting far out. But the bold
swimmer succeeded in reaching a
small boat, in which he made his way
to the steamer and captured it single
handed, despite the fact of there be-
ing a number of Chinese on board.
The steamers name was the Gujungo.
The act was a bold one. An I'M
armed man capturing a steamer. But
the act is by no means as bold as the
writer who tells the story. 1t is a
magnificent subject for work of art.
Private Takahashi in puris naturali-
bus striding the deck and the pig
tailed crew swimming away for dear
life, their heads bobbing above the
waves. Private Mulvaney will have
to retire after this.

\ Wonderful Discovery That Makes
Life Worth Living.

a baby alarm, or means by which
the crying of an infant which has
been left asleep in distant room may
be signalled, is one of the recent
boons offered by science. \ sensitive
microphone, connected to battery
and to the primary of an induction
coil, is placed near the child's cot.
The secondary of the coil is connect
ed by two wires to a small electro
magnet at the place where the alarm
is to be given, and on the crying of
the child the microphone sets up an
undulatory current in this circuit,
causing the electric-magnet to defect
a delicate steel balance and close an
electric bell circuit.
The above is recommended to all
families who have imported a baby
during the last three or four months,
especially those of newspaper men.

The dry atmosphere causes
dandruff to form and the fall

follows.
The use of KATHAIRON
will eradicate dandruff, there
by preventing the hair from
falling out, and will beautify
and will restore life and vigor.
1t will not do impossibilities,
such as turning grey hair in a

doubt the best preparation on
the market to preserve and
improve the hair.

All He Lacked.

All He Lacked.
The poet took quire or more
OF paper fresh and white
And sat down at his costly desk,
Where he was wont to write.
he chose with care a golden pen
Quite suited to his hand
And picked him out a choice cigar,
One Of the finest brand.
His inkstand had been freshly filed,
And blotters lay around
To dry his ink when with success
His labors had been crowned.
He had license, too, and yet,
In spite of ali his pains,
He failed. He had been fitted out
With every thing but brains.

in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
30 near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot Of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

which taxes all over one hundred
dollars worth of personal baggage
brought in by Americans returning

that about 100000 rich Americans
go abroad every year for pleasure or
business. 1t is estimated that thew
bring back an average of $1,000 each
or clothing and other goods purchas-
ed In Europe, the aggregate being
SlOO,OO0'OO0. This was all free as
personal baggage. And yet there
was not an article thus imported
that was not dutiable at from 80 to
100, per cent. The Government lost
fIOO,OO0,0OO year on duties on these
goods and the rich people who could

Gage Versus Bryan.

McKinley's Secretary of the
Treasury, L.J. Gage late OF Chicago
undertakes TO pulverize Mr.. Bryan's
financial views. but like all mono.
metalists finds them rather tough,
The secretary first asserts that
the mint price of either metal has
nothing whatever to do with its
bullion value.
Ii that statement had q solitary
grain of truth in it it would be
worth answering, but unfortunately
for Mr.. Gage the very semblance of
vitality has been pounded out Oft
long ago, and If the Honorable se-
cretaary had as much grey matter
In his head as a pug dog, he would
hot have made the statement.
1t is argued by Mr.. Bryan in
com mon with all bi metalists. that
the price of ali the commodities is
measured by the number OF all the
units, (doliars) and this truth the
secretary acknowledges, uncon.
'iously, when he makes the state.
nent, "That if Congress would di-
'ide the number of grains in the
;old dollar by two, each dollar so
would buy but half as
nuch."

The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1897-09-17

This would be true, not for the
reason that the dollar contains less
bullion, but because the number of
dollars had been doubled. In other
words the same thing would occur
and prices would be affected the
same way If the number Of dollars
OF the present size were doubled.
The real fact is that the purchas.
ing power of dollar does not de-
pend on its weight, whether of gold
or silver, so much as the aggregate
number Of dollars in circulation. in
comparison with the aggregate
quantity of commodities.

Should BE RcpudIated

The appointment of the negro
Demas of New Orleans to one Of
the best and most lucrative posi-.
tions in his gift, against the protest
of the leading Republican citizens
of that city, and that of their wives
and daughters, excites universal
surprise as to the motive behind 1t.
The reason for the ignoring of
the expressed desire of the repub-
licans of the Crescent City is given
as follows by Marcus A. Hanna the
boss of the administration:
"That Demas and two other poll
ticans OF the same school were en-
ployed by Mark Hanna to purchase
the votes of the Louisiana dele
gates who had been chosen for Mr..
Thomas b. Reed, and have them
cast for Mr.. Mckinley. 1t is well
known that the Louisiana delega-
lion was elected for Mr.. Reed, but
heir votes were cast for Mr.. Nc
Ainley. 1t is said that Demas and
lis associates were promised the
hree chief federal Offices in New
orleans If they would negotiate for
nd cause to be cast the votes of
for Mr.. Mckinley, and
hat Mr.. Hanna now insists that
Demas was COOL enough to be
lr. McKinley's friend when he
eeded him, Mr.. Mckinley should
Q his friend now." Mr.. Hanna
ithin a week has given this as
lie reason for insisting upon this
prominent.
