by fire during furious typhoon in
1894 We rode out to Camoon's grotto,
said to be the place where that most
famous of Portuguese poets wrote his
"Lusiad." The garden at the peak Of
which is the grotto is beautifully laid
out and kept. in fine order. Our hotel.
the boa VISTA is charmingly situat-
ed, built above and on an old fort on
a jutting part in the curve Of Bishops
Bay. 1t is as clean, quiet, restful q
hostelry as We have found. No woR-
der that the Hong Kong people leave
their heated streets for the cool waters
of the bay, and quiet rest day In
this well managed hotel.
We visited a tea establishment
where Chinese tea Is refined and sorted
for the foreign market. Two thousand
boxes had been sent to the States from
this one establishment, the previous
week. While men fired the tea in
bamboo trays on charcoal fires, women
were sorting the leaves, picking out
twigs, stems, and such rubbish. On
our ride through the streets we noticed
cows, driven around to be milked at
each customers door. They had the
sleek fawn like appearance Of Jersey
cows; but the stright back dropped
suddenly from the shoulder in a deep
curve for the neck. The same eve
neck, was seen in the oxen. Among
the articles on sale in the butchers
shops, noticed pigs in a bamboo bag,
adapted for carrying shoats
as giving full opportunity to inspect
before purchasing. H.

 THE AUTOCRlAT.

Assa rule. Tt is best 10 inves. authority in .oness.m A II orat4als than in a set of men. It is easior 'to hold one man responsible. The man u,yoss whom responsibility IS rlaeed-is apt to try harder than he would if theer-espot,sibil8ty is divided. Al one time the house tried the plan of dividing responsibility. A committee was to shape legislation to select the bills 70 be con- sldersd etc, but after trial the plan was abandoned. and flfe responsibility now rests eupon the speaker. HaVlng the powers of Legislation in his hands' the SD aker,is the autocrat of the country more sspowerful than the presideff. It
 may be' asked why member who de- -sires to introduce a bill does not appear to the house, The answer is dhat he can not get recognition unless the speaker so desires. He must acquain' the speaker beforehand with t'h= nature of the meas ure he intends 10 introduce, and this IS at times impossible. Many congressmeh have been relegated to private hfe be- cause they had made an enemy of the sneaker. Their constituents naturally Thought they W re idling, when hey real ly-cosald not introduce a bill. Another important power the speaker has is in the r,aming of the committees. This feature seems to. be a psouliarity of the house, for in the senaite and in all commercial bodies a committee is appointed to name the standing committees.
 , s4soslnuch has eibesn said about the abuse soffpower by Reed that he has pubifshed aans aricle in 'self-defense, but 1t is rather lame. He claims that the speaker Is member of the house, and as such has the right to object to legislation he may think dstrinentalsa He defsnds the rules of .he house to the best of his apllity. II is natural that he should be well pleased W-itif the situation.

WEYLER'S DAYS
Lisbon for the Time Being
 Is in Bad Shape. ,l...ly.s~ zs1

London. June 1.-The Madrid corres- pendent of the Pail Mall Gazette says It is, thought that the cabinet as at pres ent constructed will continue only dur irg the summer sojourn at San Sebastian and that on the queen regents return to the capital 1t will be radically changed. sH' f-c wM1.g
 Sanor Canovas del Castillo denies sthe report of the retirement of Captain Gen eral Weyler, but although for the mo- ment hd remains at his post there is the best reason for the belief that his res- igration had been received by the prom ise to accept or not as the latter sdeenas best according to the circumstances of the momsnt e..u Il ..s.
 In the meantime Captain General Wsy- Ter has sent a telegram to the premier recommending that municipal elections be held immediately in Cuba. This may be the precursor 4sof other conci1iatory measures on his part, but Captain Gen eral Weyiers antecedents are not such as to inspire confidence among the people of the island with regard to his bona fid. direction of liberal reforms, nor is the ercha bisftated government in position to keep him loEg at his post in View of the path that will have to be followed for a general pacificaticn of Cuba. v l
 Reports are current that private sufl- derstartiing exists between Senor aJano- vas and Sencr Sagasta by the terms of which the latter is to succeed the former at the proper moment, but not at the present critical juncture so that the 'suo- cess.en of power shall always be kept between the chief parties to the exclusion of minor factions, iacsading the Carlists and republicans. 5 -'- +-A-+.''at z

APPEAL FOR ORPHANS.
Charleston, S. C.. June 9. 1897. na Ialito,. .of tla State Herald

CHd1leSlOn, .. C.t JuHt of lo9f. TO the Editor of the State Herald.
 Believing as I do that you are interest ed in the awful condition of the eolored brother South I write asking space through your journal to say few words in behalf of the little negro orphans in Charleston. It is fatal doom and an in- gratitude to God to let theSldttle colored' orphans suffer as they do today for want of this worlds goods. Thousands go to- untime1y graves for the sake of not hav- ing bread and proper medical attention. The Jenkins Orphanage, at 20 Frank lin street, fer six years has been trying to keep life in and death out. It stands as a monument to the charitable people ev- anywhere while much remains to be done, much has already. been accompllseh hd. The institution is rapidly being developed into being a credit to each American citl- zen, and anyone who remembers it's very humble origin may find 1t instructive and intere sting to visit today. One would hardly realize the fact that 1t is the same home started only six years ago, bat in spite of an things the institution today Is in ore of the most alarming conditions since it's incipiency.~ss One would never dream that in the orphanage nearly four hundred children flock daily, large number being clothed, fed and sheltered, which takes over four hundred t$400) dol lars per month to keep the expenses up. It needs help today The appeal is ur- 6 sponse to save and make happy the un- fortunate little children who are without father and mother to pat them on the head or shoulder.
 No man with one spark of love in his bosom could stand to see the IolioWiig conditions without being moved to lena a hand by sending something to the Jen- kins Orphanage. Needs, first in the Wash room, five tubs ard improvements; kltcn- en, a stove is sadly needed, as the one lls use fails to cook sufficient food-also cooking utensils; the sewing room IS passable; the needs in the dormitory de- partment are many; the barrels Tn the store. room are ~empty-who will fill them is the question awaiting the orphans; the needs in the educational department are many; the children need shoes anu clothing: the shoes may be omitted, as the weather is warm, but some calico dresses and clothing for boys are greatly needed: the industrial department needs material for the children to work with. We do not ask Tor what we want, put the most urgent needs to keep the chil- dren from suffering.
 Charleston's City Council appropriates only $200 for the support ef sixty children and our friends must, raise the remainder or let the orphans die.y We believe, MT Editor, that every reader or your paper; with the spirit of the true and living God within, will at. once send a mite: Little or much will be gladly received at the Jenkins orpha1age. 20 Franklin street. < Charleston, s. c.
 Yours truly.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fal.a bottleor common glass with urine andAet 1t stand twenty-four hours; a sed- iment or settling indicates an un- healShy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it Is positive evidence of kidney trouble Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back Is also con- vincing proof that the kidneys and bfad- der are out of order.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There Is comfort in the knowledge SO often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fuffills every wish in relieving pain in the back. kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabll- ity to hold urine and 'scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad effects following the use of liquor, wine or beer, and overeomes that unpleasant necessity of being com pelled to get up many times during the night to urfnate. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists; price, hfty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
 Please mention the Daily State Herald and send your address to Dr. Kilmer G Co, Bngha mton N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuineness of this offer
