A Bullet Made a Hai1stone.

Colonel Clark r. Westcott of London
is responsible for the following account
of a singular phenomenon. His story is
as follows:
Zone hot day was riding along a
mountain road in Colorado on my way
TO mine in which 1 am interested,
when / noticed high above me, soaring
in majestic circles, an eagle. l had 40
90 winchester slung across my back,
and it was but the work of q moment
10 unsling the gun and fire at the bird.
which appeared TO be directly above me.
AS fired I noticed that the bird was
directly between myself and dense
black cloud which hung above me. The
shot was clear miss, and, not caring
TO waste any more cartridges, / was
about to ride on, when 1 was startled
to hear what / took to be the dull
chung of stone thrown by an unseen
hand, which fell into little gully part
~ filled with leaves within 20 feet of
me. / looked carefully about me in all
directions, but could see no sign of a hu-
man being, and then dismounted, and,
scraping back the leaves, was astonished
to find piece of ice as large as goose
egg and about the same shape. Upon
close examination l was further aston
ished to discover my rifle ball firmly
imbedded in its center. 1 have specu-
lated deal over this phenomenon since
that time, and the only solution / can
see is that the ball in passing through
the cloud gathered the moisture and
held it by its whirling motion so that it
was frozen at higher altitude and fell
to the earth as 1 have described. Chi

THE CHURCHES.
Sermons Preached Before Large
Conversations


Rev ]. NJ. Monroe preached a SER
mon to parents and Sunday School
teachers at the Christian Church last
night, upon the subject of How Early
Children May Unite With the Church. -
He said that those who repudiate in
FAINT membership had probably sung
too far 10 the other extreme.
1t is a mistake to suppose that a
mind must be mature before being able
10 accept the simple terms of the Cos
pei. If it were necessary for a child TO
understand the Westminster confess
sion of faith. then, indeed, they would
need TO have almost the mental ability
Of a philosopher. If they must believe
in total hereditary depravity, that
would be a barrier to children entering
the church; but the Scriptures say that
these things (the GOspels) are writ
ten that We might believe that Jesus
is the Christ. the Son of Cod that in
believing We might have life through
His name" And il is as easy to ac-
cede TO that as to accept Mr.. Dole as
President New Testament conversions
were often made on one presentation
of the Gospel. 1t is not an intricate
thing, the main facts of the Gospel.
If you do not capture the young for
Christ before the age of Is, you are
apt not to do it before go. Get young
people before they are absorbed in the
sterner things of life, for then the
chance to get their attention is gone.
Become a Christian before getting
married; before getting rich, so as TO
make your choice in keeping with
Christian principles. Settle the Ques-
ton of divinity first. Let the children
come into the church in the golden
days of youth and spend their lives in
the church.
The ordinance of baptism was OBJ
served at the close of the service.
At the NJ. E. Church, Rev. Mr. Peck
delivered an interesting discourse last
evening from the text, Come Over
Into Macedonia and Help Us" He
gave the history of the circumstances
which led up TO and surrounded this
cry, and made local application of the
lesson.
Rev. d. P. Brine had a large con-
gregation at the Central Union Church
morning to listen to his SER
mon on Temptation" The lesson was
based upon the first eight verses of
Luke w. being the story of the temp
tation of Jesus on the mountain. There
was an equally large audience in the
evening.
At the morning service Donald de V.
Graham sang a solo.

Consumption Claims VIM. Burns
as Another OF Its Victims.

Consumption Claims VIM. Burns
as Another OF Its Victims.
About 10 a. m. Sunday morning a
telephone message was received at the
police station to the effect that white
man had been found dead in room
back of a lodging house mauka of the
Commercial Saloon on Nuuanu avenue.
Lieutenant Kekai and officer Pohaku
were dispatched to the scene and found
matters just as stated.
In the farthest back of the rooms, on
the second floor, and lying on a straw
mattress on the floor, with no covering
whatever, was the body of William
Burns, aged about 40 years, an Eng
a sufferer from consumption.
The appearance of the body might
have led one to believe that Burns had
died sometime during the night, but
the story of the natives living in ad-
Joining rooms, would seem to contra
dict any such possibility.
Ii is stated that the deceased was
in his room early Saturday evening
and that he coughed and muttered for
the best part of the night and morn
ing An old native woman AYERS that
she heard deceased cough for the last
time between the hours of and a. m.
Deceased had been in the country
for a long time, and was employed at
various jobs until taken down with the
malady which caused his death.
Burns had been a constant sufferer
from consumption, and was sent to the
Queens Hospital twice for treatment.
Ccnsumptives being tabooed from the
hospital, it was found necessary to send
him away. He was then taken charge
of by the British Benevolent Society,
of which Mr.. T. Rain Walker is presi-
dent. From this organization deceased
received all the care it was possible to
give him, and was provided with the
room in which he was found dead.
The body was prepared for burial,
and after services in st. Andrews Ca
thedral, Rev. Alex. Macintosh offici-
ating, it was inferred in Nuuanu Gem
etery. H. II. Williams had charge of
the funeral.

We Can Produce Our own Sugar.

Secretary Wilson, the head of the De-
partment of Agriculture, continues his
practical work in pointing out to the farm
ers of the United States the Importance
of supplying from their own production
the $4OO,OOO,000 worth of articles for
which we send this amount of money
abroad every year. One hundred million
Of this is for sugar and the remainder for
hides, fruits, wines, animals, rice, flax,
cheese, grains Of various sorts and other
articles which can be produced by the
farmers of this country. His annual re-
port, which has just been presented to
the President, states that his experiments
thus far with the sugar beet convince him
that the people of the United States can
readily produce all their own sugar,
while nearly all Of the other articles Of
agricultural production can also be grown
by them.

Keeping Wealth Distributed.

Out in the Southwest, in one of the
new settlements, the citizens resolved to
take time by the foreock and avoid many
of the heart burnings that are common
further east regarding the distribution
OF wealth. A citizen of that locality Wis
ting the East was asked regarding the
practical workings of this new theory IN
this community. He was questioned az
to how they were getting along in mann
tanning n reasonably fair average in the
ACQUISITION Of wealth. He replied that
they were getting along first rate. Don
you find some of your people more enter
prising than others, have better busi-
ness capacity, and acquire more wealth
than Others? Yes, we find that out there.
Don't you also discover that some OF your
people get up earlier in the morning than
others, do more work than others, and so
produce more? Yes, we find that there
TOO. Then how in the world do you man
age to keep things on the dead level with
regard to the acquisition Of property
Why. it is the simplest thing in the world.
When we find n fellow getting ahead OF
the rest decidedly, we appoint n good
sized committee which will be able TO
meet the occasion, and send them out
there to live with him until they eat him
back.-From address Of Secretary wilson
at Middle6eld, o., Oct. II, 1891.

Export OF Corn.

Corn is about to become one of the food
staples Of Europe. In 1892, we exported
15,451 $40 bushels OF corn and PSI 1909
barrels OF corn meal. In the last year We
exported 1T6,919,365 bushels of corn and
AS, 263 barrels of corn meal.
AS all are aware, Europe formerly had
an intense prejudice against American
corn, regarding it as unfit for human food.
This prejudice was largely allayed by a
commission sent to Europe during Harri-
sons administration for the purpose Of
introducing corn as food. This commits
sion gave lectures about corn. demon
strating its usefulness as food by prac-
teal instruction in cooking. AS a result
of the work of this commission, largely
increased demand for corn was created
The business depression abroad, and the
food shortage in many countries, has caus-
ed corn as cheap food staple to estab-
lish itself firmly as a permanent food.
There will be an increasing foreign de-
mand for il from now on, and the Ameri-
can overproduction will each year find
more of a sale awaiting for it in European
markets. This means better price for
the farmer. The commission, discontin-
ued during Cleveland's administration,
should be re-established in the interest
OF the American farmer. Exchange.

Practical and Prudent Protection

In our manufactures we start with the
advantage of having our raw material
ready at hand, while England must go
thousands Of miles for every cotton ball
she spins. We can prodrcc all the wool,
cotton, woods and metals required for any
and every variety of manufacture. 1t Is,
therefore, clear that with these three nat
ural advantages Of food. fuel and raw
material in available abundance, we only
need favorable conditions of enterprise
and competition to attain and maintain
absolute supremacy in every line OF hui
man industry. These conditions can only
be provided by the system Of protection.
This proposition requires no argument.
1t has been amply demonstrated by expe-
rience.
We require for continuous and increas-
ing prosperity, not so much any particu-
lar tariff schedules, as the general, vital,
conserving principle OF protection, prac-
tically applied and prudently adjusted to
the industries and interests OF all sec
tons and classes.-Wool Record.

GREAT PRODUCTIVE POWERS.
Results of Protection as Pointed Out
by an English Statistician.

1t is singular fact that the people Of
the United States are more indebted to
an English writer than to any American
for information concerning the industrial
and commercial resources and progress
of their country. The papers published
by Mr.. Mulhall during the past ten or
twelve months have been revelation to
even the most intelligent Americans of a
vastness Of wealth and power in the
United States of which they had no pre-
vious conception. In the North Ameri-
can Review" for November Mr.. Mulhall
presents an interesting summary Of the
results Of American trade for thirty
years, in which he says: THE world IS
only beginning to have evidence of the
enormous productive power of the United
States"
Our farms, he says, raise food for lOO,-
100000 of persons every year. He shows
that in twenty years our production of
grain has increased "a per cent and that
Of meat u per cent In the same time
the cotton crop in the South has increased
10 per cent, and that, it seems to us, is
quite sufficient to account for the low
price of cotton as compared with other
great staples. 1t is probable that the
people of the cotton States would have
been more prosperous had they been con-
tent with less increase of production. Mr..
Mulhall does not find any indication that
our resources are approaching a period
of depletion, but confidently predicts that
our exports of food and cotton will in
crease with our growth in population.
This increase in our expectation has been
coincident with wonderful development
in our internal trade, which, Mr.. Mulhall
says, ''is the best gauge Of national pro-
gress, because it reflects the power, en-
ergy and resources Of n people,"
Our free trade friends will not fail to
note the significant fact that all this adj
vance in both foreign and domestic trade
has been accomplished under protective
tariffs. And if they are disposed to argue
that agricultural exports are not proof
of the benefits Of protection, we have
only to say that our exports of manufac-
tured articles are attaining splendid
growth. And they owe that growth to
the policy that has built them up not less
than to natural advantages. In spite of
the superiority of our natural resources,
il would have been impossible to have at
tanned prominence I'm manufacturing I'M
der free trade or "a tariff for revenue
only" Without protection we should
have been principally engaged in raising
food to exchange for the products of Eu-
ropean factories, and our population and
wealth would have made comparatively
small gains. Our internal trade is, as
Mr.. Mulhall says, 'the best gauge of ma
tional progress" and its marvellous
growth is largely due to the policy that
has kept the home market for the benefit
OF our own people. 1t is far more impor-
tant than foreign markets for our fac
tories, but we need not make n choice be-
tween the two. We have one and are
steadily gaining in the other.-Washing-
ton Post Dem.).

than thirty years opportunity to observe
the court. In his letter announcing his
retirement he said, "As look back over
more than third Of a century that have
sat on this bench, am more and more
impressed with the unreasonable impor-
lance of this court. Now and then we
hear it spoken of - an aristocratic fea-
ture OF republican government, but it
is the most democratic of all. 1t carries
neither the purse nor the sword, but it
possesses the power of declaring the law,
and in that is found the safeguard which
keeps the whole mighty fabric of the Gov
eminent from rushing to destruction. This
negative power, the power Of resistance,
is the only safety of a popular govern
ment"

More Democratic Tariff Buster.

The wall Of the free traders over the
supposed increase in prices under the pro-
tectiye tariff is not fully justified by the
facts. A recent investigation by the New
York Tribune. shows that the advance in
the price of articles imported, basing the
estimate on the net change in some thou
sands of articles, is less than per cent.
The Tribune finds in the same investiga-
ton that there is a marked increase in
the prices of farm products generally.
When the increase in earnings Of those
employed in the manufacturing lines and
the increased profits which those engaged
in agriculture make, are considered, 1t is
cosy to see that the slight increase in
nrices of the class of goods affected by the
tariff is far more than balanced by the
gain in earnings of those employed in
producing and manufacturing.

What Caused the Change.

What does high-priced cattle and hogs
mean! Simply that more people east of
the Missouri river are eating meat. Why?
Because they are earning wages. They
are at work. The people who were idle
under the Wilson tariff of the Popocrats
are employed. The people who were
employed under that tariff are get
ting higher wages. What caused the
change! Faith of business men, capital
lists, employers Of labor and money. in
the Republican party and its well-tried
tariff policy.
The tariff nothing to do with it? 1t
has everything to do with it. Canadian
eggs and chickens are shut out on the
north and Mexican cattle on the south.
The American market for the American
farmer, is the Republican principle, and
IT is working, as it always has worked
Tor the welfare of the nation. Pauper
labor is shut out. Pauper made goods
are shut out. The American market is
reserved for the American laboring man
and the American farmer, and both are
realizing the benefits OF this patriotic,
business-like policy, tested and indicated
by American history for more than fifty
years.
The Kansas farmer gives away cattle,
hogs, corn, wheat, hay, eggs, butter and
milk in every vote he gives for Organism,
Populism or fusion. 1t is bad business.
No level-headed farmer will permit the
calamity orators for. free silver and flee
trade to deceive him again and induce
him by specious but false promises to vote
away his own property and prosperity

A sa,i,ractory Tar,fr Measurc.

Congress will find no reason to regret
its recent tariff work, when 1t comes to-
gether in December. The treasury re-
ceipts under the new law have now reach
ed such figure that 1t is perfectly appar-
ent that the measure is going to be a sue
cess ms a revenue producer. The earn
ings Of the present month are running ut
the. average rate of million dollars for
each business day, and when the increas Sc
which must come after the stocks Of for
eign wool, sugar and manufactures now
in the country have been consumed, is
realized, the revenues will be ample to
meet the running expenses and restore
some of the. losses sustained under the
Wilson law.

Ills Coming Along All Right.

Intelligent people understand that, as
FAR as the new tariff is concerned, it is
too early to forecast definitely what it
will accomplish. 1t is true that it does not
furnish sufficient revenue yet, but with
the enormous anticipatory importations
made while the Dingley bill was pending
tbis was not to be expected. Moreover,
it requires time for industry and trade to
adjust themselves to the new conditions
created by that enactment, process that
has been made doubly dihicuit on account
of the devastating gale through whicn
tbev have m ssed since the last Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. Before long peo-
nle will be able to pass judgment intelli-
gently on the tariff, and, unless all signs
are emiss. experience will amply vindi-
cate the wisdom and expediency Of that
measure.-New York Commercial Adver-
