Our missionary association is not a

do not ask for funds for that purpose.
In this respect we prefer to commend
and cooperate with the excellent work
of the Organized Charities Of New Ha-

Christian work at the Mission hall and
in the home of the people who are
specially known to us, we constantly
meet with just such facts as I have
stated, and there is no immediate dan

to do more than usual to tighten the
loads we cannot entirely remove, and
we have always found others willing to
help us do this. We can use any

Court and State streets, which is open

MADRID. March 20.-Trustworthy
advices from Havana say that official
efforts are still being made to reach
an understanding with the insurgents
Duly authorized commissioners who
recently left the insurgent ranks went
to see Ruiz Rivera in his camp on the
hills OF Pinar del Rio
The commissioners were kindly re
ceived by the insurgent chiefs and
were invited TO be present at a meet
ing of the leaders which was called to
consult upon the subject.
All the insurgent chiefs said they
could not enter upon discussion OF
compromise, for to do so would be
to violate the Governments orders.
When the commissioners were taking
their leave they were notified that
any person who in future should pre-
sent to the insurgents any proposition
for peace upon any other basis than
complete independence would be sum

commission returned to Havana very

FURTHER CONGRESSIONAL POS

\. coioriess. impartial state
ment of the situation of the Ha-
waiian matter in Washington is
this: The Republican party, hav-
inc asserted the doctrine Of the
control of Hawaii in it's platform,
will not put that control in jeO-
pardy. at the present moment by
destroying Hawaii's interest in
the treaty. Therefore the Ways
and Means Committee protect
that interest in the new tariff
bill. To have left this protection
out. would have been To practic-
aIIy abrOgate the treaty and
abandon the policy of control"
If the House passes the bill as pro
posed. the Senate may take the
same view of the matter. This
would leave the matter just as it
stands today. 1t would not affect
annexation or prevent the Gov
eminent of the United States
from terminating the treaty by
giving a years notice. 1t will
simply preserve the present
status. until the time comes for
the development of the policy of
control"
The Senate may not agree with
the House and instead of attack
ing the treaty directly, it may do
so Indirectly. by refusing to let
our sugars in under the new bill.
1t will probably not do so. If it
does, it will show what the nature
of the opposition is to the treaty
and draw the lines sharply be
tween those in favor of and those
against annexation.

to Hawaiian matters in his last
message, il may be presumed
that he will make them the sub
ject of a special message, or in
tends to- postpone them until the
next session. 1t iS pretty certain
that he Will postpone them. as he
does not consider them very
pressing or important enough TO
keep the Senate in extra session.
The present session is an emer-
gency one. Our matters. from the
American standpoint, are not in
any emergency, although they
are. from our standpoint. 1t

urge our affairs on the Washing

that the Senate should be in good
temper when it takes hold of us.

Paradise for Old Maids.


Old maids must claim the little king
dom of Denmark for their Paradise, for
they are insured there. Any girl who
feels that there is a likelihood Of her
being laid on the shelf may make pro-
vision whereby she can, at the age of
40, be put in the spinster class for good
and receive weekly benefits. These
benefits, of course, are in cash. Some
of the old maids might prefer to have
it so that, instead of money, they
would have a nice, well-t4ained bache-
lor call twice a week and stay and be
entertaining. Some enterprising Am
erican ought to get up such a scheme.
There are good-looking bachelors
enough to get up a corps of wooers.
Old maids in the company would have
a man call on them, say twice a week,
and listen while they played on the
piano and sang their fayorite senti-
mental song. He would say nice things
about the playing and the singing and
the singer. Neither would he kick the
cat that would be sure to be prowling
about. Many an old maid would be
able to retain her self-reSpect if she
could make some such provision. And
think, too, of the tempers II would keep
from souring! Old maids are said to
have awful tempers, and this course of
treatment would be certain to sweeten
them. M

Stockings In Gay Designs.

Brilliancy of color and extravaganza
of design are the rule in the stockings
which the arbitrary fashion of the CON-
ing spring will seek to enforce upon
it's favorites. The quiet and demure
hose which but a short time since were
preferred by women of taste have been
relegated to the obscurity of the I'M
used bureau drawer, and their success
sors are as flamboyant as the costumes
with which they will be worn. Moth
ing more astonishing in the way of
hosiery has been seen in a long time
than those contained in a group OF
interesting patterns just made ready
for a young society woman. One OF
the most effective was a pattern OF
dark stars on a light ground. The
stocking was of daintiest white silk,
the stars in deep black. They were de-
signed to be worn with a CHIC spring
costume Of black and white silk, with
which they will accord strikingly.
Another effective design gave a berib-
boned effect to the stocking of dark
red silk, the stripe of white extending
from ankle to top. A third, which is
for wear with a dainty evening slip
per, was a combination of black and
yellow, in an altogether new design.
