very fine tucks, that are low in front, high

a French ruffe, although the full effect is

Another skirt, and one after which the

an extremely large back piece The front
fits smoothly and falls in narrow line to
the feet: the back is laid 10 two large box
pleats that fall in godets to the feet. For

THE DISTRICT APPOINTMENTS.
Early Action by the President Con-
sidered Improbable.


There seems no likelihood that President
Mckinley will reach any final decision
relative to the various District appoint
ments before the first of May. Notwith-
, standing all the pressure that is brought
to bear in behalf of different candidates
the situation does not seem much changed.
The leading candidates for the Commits
sionerships are still Commissioner TTues-
dell, x-Commissioner Ross, Chaplin Brow n,
aud Henry L. West. The claims of about
twenty other residents of the District have
been presented with more or less vigor by
friends, who have called on or petitioned
the President in their behalf. But there
is no present reason for doubting that two
of the four gentlemen named will be the
next Commissioners.
Perhaps the chances of the old members
are rather better than those OF the two
new men discussed, and a very probable
solution is believed by many to be the
nomination OF both Truesdell and Ross.
President Mckinley has shown a strong
inclination TO appoint experienced men in
many offices, and the chances that he viii
take the same course locally are con-
sidered good.
At the Capitol there is considerable OPP
position TO appointing both Commissioners.
although each of them has many friends
among the Senators and Members, who
are most interested in District matters.
Henry Z. Davis friends express great
confidence that he will continue in office
under the nomination by the court for
at least year. and then be succeeded by
some good Republican.
The President Is said to have fully de-
termined to fracture the home rule clause
of the Republican national platform by
taking care OF his Ohio henchman, w. M.
Hahn, as marshal OF the District. This

publican boss away outside the breast

GOOD NEWS AGAIN.

Once more it is the unexpected
that comes in tidings from Wash
ington. There was al agreeable
surprise a few weeks ago in the
news that President Mckinley
had presented an annexation
treaty to the Senate at this extra
session. Later, and still later, the
word was that the treaty had been
hung up to dry until the regular
session of Congress in December.
The opponents of the schene here
forthwith donned the caps
OF seers, and predicted that the
treaty would never be taken down
from the hook. Today, however,
the news has come that the annex.
alton treaty is to be pressed for
ward by its friends at the present
session. The inference is fair that
its friends are assured of availing
support to have the instrument
ratified. Any other conclusion
would imply that the Republican
party managers are stupid enough
to invite a political reverse that
would rack the "grand old party"
from center to circumference.
There may be the greatest news
that was ever received in these isl.
ands by the San Francisco mail
next Tuesday morning.

Timely Topics
MD I, 1897.

The holidays are over and
the community is settling
down to business again. The
three hottest months of the
year are at hand and many
people are thinking of discard
ing the use of coal and wood
stoves for the summer. To all
such we can recommend the
well-known and Justly popular
BLUE FLAME OIL STOVES, of
which we have just received a
fresh supply. We can furnish
these in three sizes now, the
new size being a smaller and
cheaper edition of the others.
The Dietz Stove Company
the largest oil stove manufac-
turers in the United States
are now turning out a beauti-
full stove for burning kerosene.
Complete with oven and pots,
ETC., with one, two or three
burners.
In wood or coal burning
stoves we have the celebrated
FISH Err STEEL RANGES. The
PANsY, sizes 6, 7 and 8. The
COLUMBUS, sizes 7 and 8.
The OLIVE and Bono. For
hotels or restaurants we have
a specially suitable one-The
EMPIRE City. In this the
oven is very large, the heating
surface exceptionally so, and
the price very low indeed.

AN ABLE MAN.

Professor w. T. Brigham, who
retires from the position of Cura-
tor of the Bishop Museum, is I'M
doubtedly man of particular
ability. His retirement as such
is to be regretted, and is con.
strained simply because Of his
strong personal moods, which,
although hardly an evidence, is
often an affliction of genius. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Brigham has
resigned because he could not
brook complaints from the Trus-
tees regarding his manner at
times toward visitors to the insti-
tuition. We have often heard it
remarked that the Curator unne.
cessarily vented his most severe
opinions on Hawaiian royalty
while showing its relics. 1t would
appear that the climax was capped
a few weeks ago when a number
of estimable Hawaiian ladies'
were ordered off careful
ly nurtured plot of grass
by man about the place who
said he acted under the orders of
the Curator. Another side of the
story volunteered to US privately
by an admirer of the professor
without any suggestion from him
would indicate that the Curator
meant no offence whatever on that
occasion. Personally the writer
can testify to witnessing the
utmost courtesy to visitors, on
different occasions, by the Curator
who eyinced enthusiastic pleasure
even in giving information. This
writing is not inspired or suggest
ed from any outside quarter. 1t ID
