IL was the fault of an evangelist. It was
after the fight at Fort Donelson. Eighty
mortally wounded men had been brought
into my ward at the St Louis hospital,
among them soldier with both arms and
legs shot Off This man was lying in that
stupor that usually precedes death, when
an evangelist entered and bending over
the bed, said: Have you made your peace
with God? If not, you will be in hell in
less than an hour
Instantly the mans stupor was re-
placed by the most horrible fright Pray
for me- he groaned.' 1 can't STOP was
the reply, as the speaker hurried on to
give his gruesome message to other suf-
ferers. You must pray for yourself De-

excited the other men,, and the ward be-
came pandemonium of groans and
screams and beseechings. In vain I urged
and the surgeon commanded quiet. 1 di-
rected the doctor to send the evangelist
out Oh the ward, ana got upon the bed
of the man who had first been aroused
Taking him by the shoulders and looking
straight into his eyes, 1 said: Stop this
screaming at once! But I am going to

hell go like a mani 1 replied. But why
must you go? What is Christ for If man
like you, who has stood up to be riddled

I had dispatched a messenger for a
chaplain. When he came I said: Dom t

settled over the ward, while the poor fell

Tt is claimed by those who favor the
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, that
the addition Of them to our territory
would be beneficial to American COM
merce on the Pacific. II the New Eng
land congressman wish to benefit the com
merce of this country, they should move
to repeal the laws which prevent Amer
leans from engaging in the foreign carry
ing trade. The navigation and registry
laws upon our statute books are antiquat-
ed, unsuited to modern conditions and
operate Ia opposition 10 the best interests
OF the country. They were passed for the
purpose Of catering to the New England
shipyard owners, and the effect of them
has been to keep up the cost of sailing
craft and to drive the carrying trade of
the world into the hands of England and
other European countries. Norwegian
steamers are employed in freighting be-
tween the Gulf and South Atlantic states
and the Spanish speaking countries to the
southwark, and the trade between Amer
lean and European and Asiatic ports is
carried almost entirely in foreign bot
toms. Senator Elkins. in a speech in the
Senate recently, declared that Americans
are paying $4,000 per day to foreign ship
owners for transporting American pro-
ducts to foreign markets. That is what
protection" to American ship yards Is
doing for the commerce of this country.
Free trade in ships would do as much
in one year towards the restoration Of the
American merchant marine as could be
accomplished in a century by all Of The
trade conventions that could be held.
The argument that Hawaii is to be an
nexed for the benefit of American COM
merce or of the American people is not
based upon fact. The real purpose of the
scheme is to put money into the pockets
of the New England carpet baggers who
seized the Islands from their rightful own
ers If the New Englanders would take
their hands off the throats and out of the
pockets of the rest of the country, theirs
woulu come ABOUT a mucn better conU.
ton of affairs. With annexation, Hawaii
would become like Nevada, a political
rottenborough with representatives in con-
sress to obey the behests of political
bosses, who thrive through tariff robbery
and other forms OF oppression with Wnlch
the republican party has made us famil-
lar.
The warning given in the last national
election should be needed. The people OF
the country as a whole are becoming
very tired of the greed Of those of the
northeastern section of 1t. The Hawaiian
annexation scheme is the latest and most
unique development of this everlasting
desire to take everything in sight. If
Senator Frye wishes to show his patriot
ism, and possibly save his party from
the political avalanche which is impend-
ing, let him use his talents in efforts to re-
lease the commerce of the country from
the restrictions placed upon it for the
benefit of few persons, and not in ef-
forts to stin further enrich those few per-
sons at the expense of the masses.

Phased by Spring Fashions.

1t was a Chicago police court, says the
Chicago News.
The prisoner dragged before the Judge
was a wreck of once noble manhood. His
expensive clothes were tumbled dusty and
torn, his unshaven face was ghastly
gray, his eyes were bloodshot his hands
twitched spasmodically; he was bent and
trembled as he dragged his feet along in
shuddering steps. Wildly he stared around
with the fear of a hunted thing.
"Y'ranner," said the brave policeman,
Il found him wandering down the street
shrieking like all possessed. Every once
in awhile he'd stop and count on his fin
gers and hold his head, and whenever
he'd see a. lady coming up the street he d
turn and run like a rabbit. And they
were mighty stylish ladies, too.''
What do you mean by such actions?"
asked the judge.
The trembling man straightened up in
one last spasm of righteous and lucid in
dignation. 1--WE stood it all spring." he
said in hollow voice; Eve met sea-green
straw hats. trimmed with yellow roses
and pink ribbon and bright blue ones with
poppy beds, lilac bushes, violet meadows
and water lilies on 'em; I've seen my wife
and daughters and all hold most dear
on earth go forth arrayed in hats that
would make an explosion in a paint fac
tory look as black as PITCH I've seen one
tiny head with a pyramid of straw, chif-
fon, velvet, quills Conservatives, flower
stores, corner stands and window gar
dens on It; I've seen a mixed straw, trim
med in green grass, frogs, tulips, butter
cups, American beauty roses and watered
ribbon, and I've stood it ALL. His voice
fell. A solemn silence lay upon the room
But" so low ne spoke that the sympa,

words, ''yesterday-I meta red-headed
