Mr.. woRTH's BIG MOOSE.

1t Was the Largest ON Record in Maine,
Where 1t Was Killed.
G. A. Worth of sparkill, N. T.,
killed moose in Alligator stream, at
the head of Chamberlain lake, Maine,
recently, that was the largest one ever
killed In the state in the estimation Of
many woodsmen who have seen it. At
the butt Of the horn it measured eight
and half inches in circumference. It
had twenty-five prongs and the blades
measured fourteen inches across. Its
estimated weight was over thirteen
hundred pounds. Worth, with guide,
had been moose calling on every still
night for more than week. Late in
September he succeeded in getting four
moose to answer his call on one night.
None Of the four came in sight. The
biggest bull had not come within half
mile Of the callers. On Oct. 2 the
hunter was in camp while the two
guides were on the stream above. As
they came along they made bet as
to who could give the better call. Each
called. and whea they came to the
camp Worth decided the bet. The big
bull up on the mountain had heard the
sound. and came down and walked out
into the stream in spite Of its beina
broad daylight. Worth heard thu
sound Of its splashing in the water
and, picking up his 1903 caliber rife
he went down to the bank Of thu
stream. The bull was facing him, and
the bullet he fired struck it square II
the breast and went clear through
lengthwise into the water beyond. Th'
beast rested on its hind legs ant
wheeled half about, when another bul
let struck 1t in the shoulder. A thir'
bullet hit 1t in the paunch as 1t wa
making into the woods. Worth. Will
one guide, started on the trail, tellinl
the other guide to get pack read,
and follow, as he was going to tract
the beast till he found the carcass. H
did not have to follow 1t far. Half
mile away it had fallen head first Int

Kinan contest from Grand Forks was
heard in the house and developed into
a lively fight before the matter was
finally disposed of. Guinan moved the
adoption of the minority report of the
election committee which favored
Kinan. He said no evidence was pre-
sented in Ryan's favor That he
(Guinan) was q Democrat, but believed
was indisputed that Kinan had eight
majority. A running debate followed,
participated in by Hawk. Butterwick
and Cryan. Kinan addressed the house
in his own behalf. He said Hawk was
asleep most of the time the evidence
was being presented to the committee,
and another member who signed the
majority report was too deaf to hear
one word of the evidence. The ma
jority report of the committee was
adopted-AO to ia party vote except
that Haskin, Rep. voted for Kinan.

ANNEXATION-OUR SIDE.

The various ills which, from one
side or another, threaten Hawaii, the
only true remedy is annexation. The
more the question is considered, the
more is that solution clearly thrust
upon the mind Safe under the wing
of the United States, and there will
come that stability which will give
confidence to thousands of investors
who now hesitate to try their for
tunes here. We have the climate, we
have the soil, we have the free insti-
buttons, we have the educational ia
cilities: but we have not the stability,
surrounded, as we are, with great and
clashing interests.
1t is sometimes claimed that there
is no fear of Japanese aggression up
the islands. There may be no imme
date danger, but it is in the quiet and
insidious populating of the islands
with those people that the danger
lies. We have at the present time
over $4,000 japanese on the islands.
The average increase until the Ha-
waiian Government put it's foot down
against a swapping immigration, was
between 200 and 300 per month. At
this rate in a couple of years the
japanese would exceed any other ma
tionality upon the islands and to any
far seeing Statesman such a condition
pf N
Saxon institutions so carefully built
up by the Americans and English on
these islands.
From the Hawaiian point of view,
annexation to the United States is the
only safeguard that can be seen. If
all hope of obtaining it from the Uni
ted States is to be considered at an
end, and our industries are injured
and our products, as Mr. Thurston
says, virtually barred out from the
United States markets, by what is
practically prohibition duty, there
is no alternative for us but to seek
ELSEWHERE for that protection which
we need for our continued stability
and prosperity. The United States is
our natural guardian. Our institu-
tions are modelled upon those of the
United States; our tone of thought;
our manners: our education, are all
allied to our cousins over the water
The islands are practically now a por
ton of the United States. All that is
needed is the actual governmental
control, which will not leave us prey
to any filibustering nation of the Pa.

Indian Curries.

To get a really good curry nowadays
even in India is difficult. The native cooks,
than whom there are no better in the world
in learning to prepare what are called
Europe dishes, have, to II great extent,
lost the art Of preparing their own nation
al ones, but in those days most Madras
cooks would give you II different curry at
each meal and continue to vary them daily
for moish. People Mt home must not
imagine that the apology offered them
nowadays is a good curry. 1t consists prin-
cipally of turmeric and cayenne pepper that
sacrifices the roof Of your mouth ana
tongue and gives no pleasure in eating.
The Madrasians are the only people in In
dia who really understand what a good
curry should be- The ingredients should
be fresh, differently appontioncd for each
kind and newly ground each day. Fresh
cocoanuts are also necessary. One of the
commoncst yet perhaps one of the very
best curries in India 40 years ago, was an
ordinary one in the Madras club. 1t was
made of tender cubes of mutton that would
almost melt in the mouth. The ingredients
were most appctizing and delicious, and
not ut all hot. When | visited the old
haunts three or four years ago, the club
butler did not even know it, and had for
gotten it's native name Fifty Years In
India" by Colonel Pollock.

enemy having coaling station $500
miles from every point on the coast
from Puget Sound ITO Mexico. werG
there many points the United States
could not hope to occupy them all, but
there is only one, the Hawaiian isb-
ands. "Shut out from these an enemy
would be thrown back so far from its
coal base that the distance would be
well night prohibitive to sustained
maritime operations" 1t is rarely
that factor in the defense of a coast
line is concentrated in a single posi-
ton, and says Captain Mahan, CHE
circumstance renders it doubly i'm
perative upon us to secure it." He
adds: This is question of a prin-
ciple, a policy, fruitful OF many fu-
ture acts, to enter upon which, in the
fulness of our national progress, the
time has now arrived" e..
Thus Commercial, Military and Ma
val interests all urge the United
States to annexation. The greatest
of her sons forsee the advantages that
must accrue. If annexation does not
come, and the prize slips, against its
will, into other hands, there will come
generation in the United States
which will curse the shortsightedness
of its forefathers.

ANNEXATION-THEIR SIDE.

The arguments given above are but
a very faint outline of the position
from the Hawaiian standpoint; but
there is the standpoint from the point
of view of the United States. The
commercial view has been thoroughly
explained in countless articles and
most strongly put in the petition of
the Californian merchants and pro-
ducers.
In an address delivered recently be-
fore the National Geographical So
dealt with the question from the
American standpoint. He showed that
the annexation of the islands was
considered the proper policy of the
United States to follow by Presidents
Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, John
son, Grant and Harrison, and Secre-
tares of State Webster, Calhoun, Blu
chanan, Clayton, Marcy, Seward, Fish,
Frelinghuysen and Blaine. In 1854 and
1867 the United States Minister to the
islands was authorized to conduct
formal negotiations for annexation.
Then taking up the words of Naval
and Military men, Mr. Foster Showed
of what vast Importance the islands
are to the Republic, as thus: General
Schofield wrote in 1876, "The Ha-
waiian islands constitute the only ma
tural outpost to the defense of the
Pacific Coast" Admiral Porter in the
following year said before Congress
that if the Hawaiian islands were held
by any other power Sin the event OF
war we should be driven from the Pa,
cific." Captain Mahan, whose recent
works on Naval power have stirred
the dry bones in every Admiralty
Office in the world, devotes an able
passage to the Pacific, which is toe
long for quotation, but he points out
the immense disadvantage of an
