Read, dear Annexationists and
Hawaiians alike, what the Editor Of
the Friend wrote in September 1874.
He said: "In days when annexation
was rife QS52-3) and there was a
reasonable prospect that it would
have taken place, in no way did we
favor the project. We knew that j
any foreign power assumed the sover-
eignty, the rights of the natives Uould
be ignored and trampled upon. This
is still our view of the subject
The correctness of this prophetic
judgment has been proved by the
events of and succeeding 1898, when
the flibusiers took charge OF the
Govern meut.

The Washington Chronicle has
the following to say in regard to
the annexation program:
1t is limited by the friends of Gu
ban Independence that the Hawai-
ian annexation scheme is sprung at
this nick of time to discomfort the
popular drift in favor of action favor
able to Cuba. That may be stroke
of politics, Administrations have
been known to do such things. 'Tisn't
novel or unique. But we do not
think it will win in this instance.
There is absolutely no popular sym
patty with the scheme to annex
Hawaii If anybody thinks to the
contrary, try assembling a spontan-
eous meeting of the yeomanry, on
brief newspaper call, to indorse the
scheme of the Honolulu Combine.

THE HABIT OF SAVING.
How Postmaster General Gary Taught
Ii to His Children.

The postal savings bank system has TO
more ardent advocate than Postmaster
General Gary, who proposes to do all he
can during his administration to have Con-
gress authorize its establishment as a part
OF the postal system of the United States
The advantages of the postal savings bank
system appeal strongly to Mr.. Gary as it
is in line with a practice he has pursued
in his own family for forty years. 1t aims
to encourage every man. woman and child
in the United States to lay aside whatever
surplus of money they may have for the
needs of the future, or to. be the nucleus of
a permanent Investment Forty years ago
Mr.. Gary began a plan for the encourage
ment OF his own children to lay aside
part Of the money allowance he made them
which he continued until they grew to
manhood and womanhood, and then he
accepted the same method with his grand
Children, which he pursues Low. He told
the children that every dollar they could
save and put in the savings bank he would
match with four other dollars. 1t wasn't
long before he instilled a lively interest
on their part in their bank accounts. Now
whenever his grandchildren have a surplus
or spending money they seek their grand
father. A dollar saved for them means 81
IT. the bank and 1t is understood that they
cannot touch this surplus until they arrive
at age. The result of this system is that
all the children have good bank accounts
and enjoy an income which is constantly
growing and which will amount to a mod
est competency when they become of age
The children know the value of money and
its power to work for them night and day
ir earning interest. The Postmaster Gem
eral has found the experiment to work SO
well in his own family that he would like
to have the saving habit cultivated through
the postal savings banks in every home of
the land He believes IL would encourage
thrift and good citizenship

was captain, tor a pleasure trip to Hong
Kong. June 10 the Coburn ran into a gale.
Sail was shortened and everything made as
snug possible; but just as Captain Mich
OILS was coming up the companionway to
take ar observation a big sea washed over
the stern, smashed the wheel, rolled the
two steersmen into the scuppers and hurl-
ed the skipper down the companionway, in
ficting, injuries from which he died eight
hours later. Chief Officer NJ. L. Marks
was thrown against one of the boats and
seriously hurt
The storm continued for two days after
the captain died. but the second officer J.
f. Nichols, son of the skipper, rugged up
jury rudder and navigated the vessel for
fifteen days, during which time Chief Off
Ger Sparks was confined to his BERTH Cap-
tain Nichols was buried at sea, his son
reading the burial service as his remains
were consigned to the deep.

WANT THE LOCKS CLOSED.
Pittsburg People Want the Govern
ment To Prevent Sunday Excursiou

Pfttsburg People Want the Goyeru-
ment 10 Prevent Sunday Excavations.
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn OF the War
Department has been called upon to de-
eide troublesome question in conncc-
ton with the public observance of Sum
day. A few months ago the government
purchased the locks. dams and Other i'm
provements of the Monongahela river at
cost CT over Ss.oo000 and opened the
! river to free navigation. This action was
taken in pursuance OF an act of Congress.
Since then the river has been used to a
| considerable extent by vessels carrying ex-
cursion parties. who usually chose sundays
for their merrymaking for the reason that
Sundays were the only days they were
not at work. The practice was exceed
insiy objectionable to the church element
OF Pittshurg, and strong movement was
started to stop what was termed the
dissertation of the Sabbath" All other
efforts to stop the practice having failed,
an appeal was made TO the War Depart
ment. which has charge of the operation
of the locks
The appeal came in the form of a petit
ZION signed by many thousand persons
siding in Pittsburg and vicinity. Ii rep
resented the demoralizing effects OF these
Sunday river excursions upon the COM
,nunity in general, and upon the young
people in particular, and prayed tine Sec
rotary of War TO stop the practice so far
as the Monongahela river is concerned. by
refusing to open the locks to excursion
beats On Sundays.
The authorities Of the War Department
question their right TO discriminate against
any class of boats desiring to navigate the
river on Sunday or any other day, but in
order to get full unprecedented informa ton
on the subject they have referred the peii-
ton to Major Powell the engineer officer
in special charge OF the government river
and harbor works in that vicinity.
The religious people Of the smoky city
ar fhrNT.a h in
and are using their best enGe avors to in
duce the War Department &c aid them in
enforcing a recognition of the Chris tan
Sabbath by making Sunday excursions on
the Monongahela impossible. In view Of
tie important and delicate character of
the question, involving as it does ques-.
tions of personal and religious rights. 1t is
probable that the acting secretary of war
will secure an opinion from the Attorney
General before taking final action in the
PEE misses. Meanwhile, the department will
rot interfere with the privileges of eN-
cGrsion parties so long as the river IS
open to free navigation

CRUISER CHICAGO REMoDELED.
New improvements Have Doubled Her
Fighting CnnacffN.

The United States cruiser Chicago vas
relaunched from the dry dock in the Brook
lyn navy yard yesterday. The vessel. since
being put out of commission, more than a
year ago, has been dismantled and the
boilers and engines removed to make room
for those Of more modern design. The
masts. with their yards. have been UNI
stepped, and their places will be taken by
military masts. fitted with fighting tops of
an improved design. The bowsprit has also
been removed. and "straight-up" bow
put in.
The new engines, four in number and Of
the most modern pattern, have been con-
structed by the bureau Of steam engineer
ing at the navy yard They will not he put
in until the ship is in deep water. They
are of the quadruple-expansion type, and
1t is believed will drive the ship at a rate
OF over twenty knots an hour IL will lie
some months before the Chicago will be
ready for service.
The alterations to the ship will cost
about 100000. When they have been com.
pleted the vessel will be one of the best
cruisers In the service Her speed will be
Increased. and the fighting ability OF the
ship will be more than double that when
she was put into commission, more than
ten years ago.
