special dispatch TO The CALL
NEW YORK, Nov. IS Under the cap-
ton ''Annexa ton and Subjugation," the
Times says: Before the Senate of the
United States takes up the treaty offered
for the annexation OF the Sandwich Islands
TO the United States two bodies of dele
gates frCm Hawaii Will ask TO be = ard by
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. II the question shall be asked of
the delegates from President Dole whether
the request of the Government delegates
is an expression Of the voice of the people
OF Hawaii, the answer will be that it is
not. 1t will not be possible for the Dole
commissioners to furnish proof that the
people of Hawaii have expressed their
position by the usual republican method
of vote for or against the proposed line
OF public policy.
Force having been employed TO rob
Hawaiians OF their voice in the destiny
OF their country, power is to add TO
tyranny the use of lidicule still further
to sustain e selfish projects of the pres
ent rulers. The poor natives of Hawai-
who are passing the hat at home in or
der 10 RAISE money with which to paw
their passage TO Washington ought not
to encounter prejudice against the N for
their poverty. But unless the United
States shall promise to keep :he 100 900
opponents OF annexation in suojuga-
ton, what assurance can the 5000 have
that they viii not some day be overcome
and perhaps expelled from the land in
which the voicesof the natives has been
silenced? A fear of this calamity 10 the
republic inspires the Dole Government to
anxious!y urge prompt annexation. That
accomp plished, the military power of the
Unlted States must be used to keep the
Hawaiians from rebellion against the Gov
ernment they have had no voice in cre-
ating.''

started to try new method. The

under a large tree. A torch was

fire as the coon fell down through the
branches of the tree. A second later
tho flames were smothered and the
coon was killed by the dogs.
Bill caught sight of another coon
and put bullet through his head.
Another candle was lighted, and the
third coon was sighted. Bill had by
this time become expert, and the coon
lost his hold and fell among the wait

He Got the Inform alton.

Peter Bunda. who has been married
only two weeks, has left his wife.
Bundy is a little man, and his wife
weighs two hundred and forty pounds,
and was the relict of the late Seth
Potts. About ten days after marriage
Bundy was surprised, on awakening
in the morning, to find his better
half sitting up in bed, crying as If
her heart would break. Astonished,
he asked the cause of her sorrow, but,
receiving no reply, he began to sur
mise that there must be some secret
on her mind which she withheld from
him, and which was the cause OF her
anguish, so he remarked to Mrs. b.
that as they were married she ought
to tell him the cause of her grief, SO
that. if possible, he might lessen 1t.
After considerable cOaXing he elected
the following from her:

Faith in Human Nature.

1t is rather surprising to find right
on Park Row, New York City, cafe
that trusts lis customers perfectly.
This place has probably 800 regular
callers. 1t is open day and night,
and is run on system of implicit
faith in the honesty of man. While
not place strictly high class, it offers
what might be called very "com-
Portable" meal, with trimmings before
or after. Altogether, it is simply a
plain place for an every day man,
with occasionally a little something
extra on the bill of fare equaling
anyt thing in the city. This. OF course,
can be said OF hundreds of similar
places; but the system of payment is
something novel. The proprietor,
stout German, boasts no cashier, as
there is very little cash to take in.
On the cigar counter is o day book.
The customer comes in, goes to the
ice chest in the corner, il he wishes,
and takes quiet nip out OF black
bottle. Then he orders what he wants
on the bill of fare. It is served
quickly and neatly. He then counts
up his own Indebtedness and puts 1T
opposite his name in the book, in
Guiding the ''nip," or cigar, if ne
prefers that. He then walks serenely
out, knowing no proprietor is glaring
at him and no cashier yelling for him
to come back and make the cash
register good. This sort of child-like
simplicity in running a business IN
the very heart of a city filled with
bunkoers, green goods men and gold
bricks without number, is said to be
a winning venture. The customers
invariably settle weekly, Friday and
Saturday being pay days, and the pro,
prietor says he has yet to lose bil
through deliberate fraud. A little
experience with man like that il
almost enough to renew ones conf
dence IN human nature. -Pittsbure
