Frequent light rains such as
we are having every day or
two has a great effect upon
the grass and you can almost
see it grow. The green lawns
of Honolulu are in strange
contrast with the white, snow
robed gardens Of Vancouver
at this time of year, but to
have the lawn in Honolulu
always beautiful it must be
attended to.
LAWN MOWERS,
GARDEN HOSE, .r
RAKES and HOES,
SHEARS and SPHINX
LERS,
Are among the things need
ed in every dwelling where
there is a suspicion of a lawn
around it. If the quality of
such things is good they will
not have to be renewed as
often as when cheap ones are
bought. We import our stock
of garden tools from manuflc-
turers in England whose re-
putation for quality of goods
produced extends to the four
corners of the earth and the
price is right.

upon it, they saw the body of the Eng
lishman floating. They managed to raise
the body from the hole. They carried 1t
to the outside of the mine. Then, in
the center of the dead Englishman's fore
head they saw exactly such a wound as
had been in the Irishman's forehead. The
deduction to be made from all this was
plain to the excited and superstiuous min
ers. The Englishman had killed his rival
by a blow with the sharp end Of his stick,
they declared, and then felled the mass OF
dirt and rock upon him. The wrath OF
the murdered man had come in due time,

that can now prevent his execution is eX-

refused. Cyrus takes his approaching
doom very quietly, and gives no trouble
TO the prison officials. The story of the
killing is a very peculiar one Cyrus. who
is an intelligent negro. was infatuat
with the woman he killed. He discovered
her one night in a room with another man.
They had been drinking. and Cyrus came
upon them suddenly. The man ran and
Cyrus shot the woman. He then went to
police headquarters with his revolver in
his hand. II have shot a woman" he
said to Turnkey Terry, "but she wont die.
7 shot her to teach her lesson" Cyrus
was placed in a cell. Two days later An
ME Johnson died. Her slayer made
plain statement Of the killing TO the jury
that tried him. This caused his conviction
and sentence TO death on the gallows.
Preparations for the execution will be
made Monday.
Atlanta Constitution: The chances are
that the peuitentiary convicts to be leased
will bring the amount indica ted by Prin-
cipal Keeper Turner, 80 cents a day gross.
which is about equal to $50 per annum net
for each convict hired out. Inquiries
among lessees elicit the information chat
neither capt J. W. English or w. b.
Lane individually will go into a new lease,
and 1t is not probable that the ChattahOo-
chce Brick Company will do so, but the
coal mine and saw mill companies in which
Mr.. Lowe is interested may be bidders.
Mr.. Lowe says this depends largely upon
the regulations as to food, clothing, shell
ter ETC. to be adopted by the penitentiary
commission. 1t IS quite possible that the
Durham Mine Company OF Walker coun-
tv. which has 80 couvicts. viii be bidders
and it is understood that Capt. T. j.
James and the Gress Lumber Company
have the matter under consideration. 1t
is not improbable that the Enterprise
Lumber Company may be among the bid
ders Capt. j. w English said this morn
ing that he would not have anything fur
ther to do with the convicts after the
expiration of the present lease, and did
not think the Chattahoochee Brick Com
pany would. He had not read the bill, and
was not prepared to give an opinion on it,
but thought the fact that only able bodied
men were to be leased would have ten
dency to improve the bids, and thought 1t
not improbable that the convicts leased
would net the state $50 per annum each.

The Prussian diet, by rejecting the
law Of associations bill. a few days ago,
has struck a blow for true liberty. The
bill, a pet measure of the German en-
peror, placed the right Of public meet
ings and debate absolutely at the
mercy of the police. Any meeting
would be dissolved at the discretion Of
the police. Under its terms any kind
of society, even a scientific or religious
gathering, could be dispersed If the POI

this measure is a personal atfront and is
ready to take almost any step, even a
revision of the constitution, rather
than r~elinquish it. This spirit of stub
bornness in the erratic sovereign is en-
couraged by the ~agrarians and ultra
tories, at whose head stands DR.. Johann
Miguel, the new vice chancellor of the
empire.
This DR.. MIGUEL. by the way, is one of
the most unique characters who ever
rose to eminence in a monarchical coun-
try. Early in his public career be was
a pronounced socialist; for 20 years he
was famed as the ablest assailant Of the
government in parliament; for 80
years he posed as q liberal leader. To-
day he is the champion defender of his
autocratic sovereign and the worst
enemy his former associates, the social
democrats, ever had to fight. Next
week or x mouth he may be chan
cellor, for no man enjoys the emperor's
confidence in as high degree as he.

ist party in the reichstag, used to de-

Abnnn id the ninnennnrr.

It may be broadly stated. as the re-.
suit of exhaustive statistical study,
that fully so per cent. of the patients
who apply for free medical aid are to-
tally undeserving of such charity. The
main reason for this is that no effectual
means are taken by the managers OF
these institutions to correct the abuse.
For the sake of donations and the os-
tensible good accomplished by the
treatment of a large number Of pa
TENTS, these charities are managed on
the usual business principles of proving
their right to be and to prosper on the
assumed basis of demand and supply.
In New York alone there are 116 dis
~pensaries, each one of which is wing
with the other in propagating the worst
form Of ~pauperism. The public is
taught that nothing is more freely
given than medical advice TO anyone
who may ask for it. The institutions in
question are crowded daily by hum
dreds of well-to-do patients, who are
encouraged to defraud the really poor
and to cheat the charitably disposed
doctor Of his legitimate fee. All this
goes on in spite of protests, and in open
defiance of all laws of ordinary decency
and fair play. The managers Of these
so-called charities, who virtually have
the matter in their own hands, while
openly pretending to deplore present
conditions, are ~covertly combating
every effort at reform, on the ground

were Hon. John w. Daniel, Of Lynch
burg; Rev. DR.. ]. w. Smith. OF Rich
mond, of Jackson's personal staff, who
covered his body with his own as a
shield the night he was shot at Chan
cellorsville, and DR.. Hunter MEG uire, of
Richmond, who was chief of Jackson's
medical corps. The day was also alum
nj day, and the schools sons came
from far aud wide to do homage once
more at their alma mater. Col. Edmund
Pendleton, of Lexington, Va, one of the
graduates of the first class turned out,
was present and was the recipient of
much applause.
StoDewall jackson memorial hall was
filed with people long before the hour
set for the commencement of the dedi-
cation exercises. The crowd was
swelled by excursions from Lynchburg
and Staunton, which poured something
like 1000 strangers into the town to
participate in the exercises. The ros-
trum vas decked with evergreen with
a large oil painting of Jackson in the

names of Smith and Mcclure on either

brated Stonewall brigade band of
Staunton was present by special invi-
tation.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. DR.. Hemphill, of Louis

the board, briefly outlined the history
Of the raising of the funds. and stated
that a large part Of the none came

Abraham Lincoln attained dissinc-
ton without a collegiate education.
Joun of Arc achieved distinction with
out a military education. But the
young men and women who are looking
eagerly into the future should remern-
Der that God makes few such charac-
tiers as Lincoln, and that there was but
one Joan of Arc in all history.
DR.. Brown-Sequard it was who sage
" remarked hat genius Is a nervous
disease with which few people are af-
ficted." That is naively put and
strangely true. The young people of
the present generation cannot learn
too soon hat they who succeed in life
are they who tell. Thergis no uniform
" successful genius save the genius of
labor. If we would succeed we must
trust no future, howe'er pleasant; let
the dead past bury its dead. Act in the
living present, heart within and God
o'erhead."
When there was a great upheaval in
this country more than a generation
ago aud large armies of men were
marching and countermarching an un-
usual opportunity was presented for
men with natural military ability to
develop their talents. But out of the
chaos of it all there arose to the top
in the maelstrom of fame only the
trained soldiers of West Point military
academy. They were trained in the art
of war, and their training demon
strated their fitness TO command all
volunteers.
Many of the men Of the south received
preliminary training at the Virginia
military institute at Lexington. To
that place proud fathers and mothers
from southern states sent their boys to
prepare for West Point; and until this
day the same plan is pursued. 1t is only
a few hours ride from Washington, and
upon special occasions a great many
gentlemen and ladies go there from this
city to enjoy the scenery, the country
air and to show their interest in the
school. The greatest event in the re-
cent commencement exercises of the
military institute was the dedication

zeal manner. One of the gentlemen, !
senator from q northwestern state,
said: 1T seems to me that the peopIe
of the south are doing themselves =
great injustice. They are erecting mon
uments for their children to see and for
their grandchildren TO study. All OF
these monuments will be h~umiliatin9
to future generations, because they ars
monuments of failure. Future genera
tons will have none of the pride in per-
sonal achievements, nothing Of the
pride of comradeship which enthuses
the people of to-day. To them these
monuments will be monuments Of fail
ure, and in those days the people win
not say: God only knows which was
right"
Another senator from a northern
state said: II like TO see the southern
people do just as they are doing. They
are %cultivating a military spirit in their
young people. They are educating
them for deeds of heroism. They are
teaching them to love their country.
II George Washington and his CONT
mental soldiers had been defeated those
people would have erected monuments
to their memories just the same, unless
prevented by British power from do
ing so. The southern people fought for
what they deemed to be liberty. State
sovereignty was with them as tangible
a thing for battle as was the slogan Of
our revolutionary fathers for taxation
without representation. Let them build
their monuments and tell their children
how bravely and well their soldier ia
theirs fought for what they deemed was
right"
There are two extreme opinions; be-
tween them we may find a middle
ground. It makes no difference wheth.
er the new hall is named after Stone
wall Jackson or Phil Sheridan. tits a
school for young men with ambitions in
the direction of milltary affairs. 1t is
an excellent institution and will always
maintain the high reputation which has
long characterized it. Beneath its roof
even now there may be another Stone-
wall Jackson or Robert e. Lee. But
there will be no more rebellion nor eff
fort at secession In this country, and
the young men now being educated in
military affairs will always be found
with cleaning swords beneath the star
spangled banner. fighting for one flag
