MOUNTED RESERVE.
Constitution Adopted and Officers
Elected.


The Mounted Reserve had an ex-
cellent drill under Captain Dillingham;
al Makiki last evening. 1t was fine
moonlight night, and the turnout was
good. After the routine maneuve-s
advance by rushes" was given the
men for the first time. This move
effective.
After the drill the company repaired
10 residence OF Mr.. b. r. Dillingham;
for business meeting. There the con-
stitutiOn agreed upon at the meeting,
held in the Y. NJ. G. 4. hall last week,
was adopted, subject 10 the approval OF
the marshal. II is practically the same
as governs the civil affairs of the mil
itary companies.
The adoption of a constitution is an
important departure for the Reserve.
/. will be remembered that Judge Car
tel organized the company during the
trouble in January, 1895, for scouting
purposes. After that the organization
was made permanent, but business
matters constantly arising made set
of rules necessary, and the action last
evening was the result.
Under the new constitution the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the en-
suing year: w. F. Dillingham;, cap
tain; VIM II. Wright, first lieutenant;
Samuel G. Wilder, second lieutenant.
II G. Danford and David Shanks were
elected members of the Reserve.

They are Freed by a Decree of the
French Government.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 3D.
Among the earliest reforms of the
French Government in Madagascar is
a decree abolishing slavery, copy of
which has reached the State Depart
ment from Consul Wetter at Tamatave.
1t declares all the inhabitants free,
forbids traffic in human beings, multi
fies every contract providing for the
sale of persons and imposes penalties
for violation of the law, which are TO
be tripled in case of a second Offense.
Other features of the decree are that
France promises not to impose upon
the people of Madagascar any extra
ordinary war tax and offers aid to dis
possessed owners of slaves in the form
OF territorial possession. Another de-
cree relating TO schools prohibits in
reference by teachers in political af-
fairs and urges instruction in the
French language.

where seven financial schools besides
the "advance school" and the county

presidents. secretaries, instructors and
directors.
These financial schools should be en-
couraged by all sound money men and

schools are real schools and not merely
lecture rooms, there cannot be too many
of them. As they are nonpartisan, books

Castleton, July 5.-Henry G. Brown,
farmer living at Castleton Corners,
was found dead in the field Monday al
ternoon. Mr.. Brown left his home
about Z o'clock this morning to do some
blowing two miles away. As he did
not return at dinner time the family
became alarmed and a young man Of
the household started for the field about

As he approached the field he saw
the horses standing quietly and also
saw Mr.. Brown lying on his back, just
beyond the pillow. One of the horses
was unhitched. Mr.. Brown held his
watch in his hand. The doctor thinks
that Mr.. Brown was stricken about
$50, and that he felt the heat coming
upon him and tried to unhitch and
start homeward, which accounts for the
one loose horse. His face was some.

that he died early in the day.

Wants Annexation.

Victoria, B. c., July 4.-The
news that President Mckinley had
sent the Hawaiian annexation treaty
to the Senate was received in Homo
lulu day or two before the Warrl-
moo, which has just arrived here,
touched there. The Honolulu Adj
vertiser says the tidings were some-
what unexpected, but, nevertheless,
heartily welcome, as it had not been
expected that the subject of annexar
ton would be introduced until after
the passage of the tariff bill.
cit now appears" the Advertise
continues, "that the republican sena
tors who were opposed to reciprocity,
but in favor of annexation, have
forced the issue as the only means to
defeat the rapacious schemes of the
sugar trust"
Whatever the cause of the early
presentation of the annexation pro-
ject, the Hawaiians are delighted
and, while few of the more enthusi.
astic celebrated with brass bands and
bon fires, the Honolulu press united
for once in reference to "the natural
destiny of the islands" and the assur.
ances of Hawaiian loyalty TO the
Stars and Stripes.
"Affairs in the infant republic had
come to such pass" said one mer.
chant-politician, "that it was simply
case of Japan or America, and the
people to be gobbled naturally pre-
ferred the great republic"
At the Annexation clubs head
quarters there was much JOY over thu
good news, fully confirmed in direc
kilograms to the clubs officers.
That the early passage of the treaty
by the United States will bring abou
a special session of the Hawaiian leg
islature goes without saying.

Another Blow For Silver,

The Peruvian government in April
suspended the coinage of silver and de-
cided to prohibit its importation after
May 10. It's probable that Peru wish
ed to borrow money and that she could
not do SO while on silver basis with
out paying very high rates Of interest
The Shylocks Of Europe refused to loan
at low rates and to take chances of los
ing more by the depreciation of silver
than they would gain from the interest
Oh, these wicked, grasping Shylocks
who refuse to loan money at loss!
