given here are worth attending to and
that the United States Government
fully understood the situation when IL
sent the Philadelphia to the islands.
The United States Government knew
far more about the situation than even
the Hawaiian representatives in Wash
ington. After this disclosure of Jap
anese aspirations there can he no
doubt as to what is best for the
islands. Annexation is the only sal
vation, not only for those who have
strenuously urged it for years past,
but for the Hawaiian race itself. Be-
fore n flood of Asiatics the race would
be swept away and the mixed race
along with it. The best friends the
Hawaiians have are the annexationists,
their efforts will put them on a plane
which never would have been reached
under the Royalists. If any one wants
to know what japanese colonial rule
is study of Formosa at the present
time would not be out of the way.

OF the probability OF Congress at once au-

dent Mckinley In his inaugural message.
Mr.. Gage expressed himself as fully con-
WINGED OF the necessity for such a commits
suit from delaying its appointment. Bust
ness throughout the country was greatly
depressed. and it was his opinion that
there should be no delay In taking meas
ures for the general relief. There was,
however he said. in some quarters serious
doubt OF the expediency of allowing legis-

DANCED HERSELF TO DEATH.
Fate of Fanny Award, al Memphis
Girl, Who Went tn New York.

NEW YORK. March 27.-Fanny Award,
t~wenty-four years old, an actress, died in
Brooklyn yesterday. Two years ago Miss
Award, despite the wishes of her father,
left her home I'm Memphis. Tenn Her
father lives in Ohio. Her natural ability
for dancing earned her a livelihood and
comparative success. a Mrs Hall, a friend
of the girl, after a long search, found the
girls body in an undertaking establishment.
Then she learned that Miss Award had
gone to Dr. Hoffman. in Brooklyn, who
sent her to "A sanatorium in that city, where
DIR. Hoffman declared to-day that the girl
had simply danced herself to death, and
that the case was not suspicious in the
least. In accordance with Geographic in
structions from the girls father her body
will be sent to Memphis for burial, where
a sister lives.
Miss Award was last seen in Indianapolis
last fall with the Gus Williams company,
with which she was the leading woman.
Two years ago she was in the chorus of
De Wolf Hopper's Or. Syntax," when it
appeared at English's. She was d very am
bilious young woman. had a pleasing voice,
but was not known to have given much at

shoulder, and between the two appears a
redhot rope of glass. Longer and longer
1t grows. until the beholder looks for it to
snap; IL does not, but when drawn out
many feet, and 10 an equal thickness
throughout. it is laid on a contrivance re-
sembling a cross between q. railroad and a
for use in the chemists laboratory. 1t is
straight, but it does not need to be so, for
at a touch the workman can make 1T a
spiral of any desired length, or curve it
or twist it into fantastic shapes.
WAGES OF OPERATIVES.
These glassworkers earn good wages, for,
although the price of their labor has fallen
greatly in recent years. each can command
from Is to 20 francs a day. In the golden
age of glassblowing. ten to twenty years
ago, 20 francs a day was considered poor
pay, and skilled men received from 25 TO
30, some experts even more; but, as every
one knows, the present days are never
worthy comparison with the days gone by.
The glassblower earns every sou he re-
ceives, however, for the labor Of manip-
ulating the masses Of molten glass is not
only exceedingly exhausting, but the dex-
terity required causes constant drain on
the nervous system. to say nothing of the
oppression caused by the high temperature.
To endure an atmosphere where the ther-
mometer always ranges from 100 TO lbs de-
grees Fahrenheit Is of itself sufficiently ex-
10 g.
high degree of dexterity and great muscu-
lar strength in such a temperature is WELL
nigh killing. 1t is not remarkable that
and pleurisy and
with other diseases caused by the sudden
changes from the glass house to the outer
air, make great ravages among the work
men.
improvements in the mechanism applied
to the manufacture have resulted in the
blowing of the great glass spheres by an
air blast, but in most lines the machine has
not yet learned the dexterity of human
fingers, and so Handmade is still true OF
a considerable share of the glass product.
Not all the work, however, demands
strength. The great spheres must be cut
up. And with the aid of a diamond-pointed
cutter and a deft young woman the trans
parent globes soon lose their shape and
become piles of little saucer-like disks, TO
be afterward nodded into various shapes
as the needs of the trade demand.
1t is a sight to be remembered. From the
pots, containing from 10000 TO 10000 kilo-
grammes of molten transparency, come
bottles, TASKS, jars. vases, long, transpar-
ent serpents, and cables Of glass that can
be twisted and tied i'm knots while plastic,
and then grow infieXible as hardened steel.
There is no end to the possibilities of glass;
even fair woman has inclosed her bewitch-
ing form in glass. and robes of this ma
terial, spun and woven, have displayed the
charms of more than one belle at Versailles
and the Louvre.

W. needed all the fighting men that we
could possibly muster to repel the contem-
plated advance Of Sherman, and there were
many among US who thought that possi-
bly,. under such circumstances. the CON-
mander would be disposed to deal leniently
with those who had deserted in the face
of the enemy. But We were mistaken in
our estimate of the man. On that jan
uary morning We were ordered into position
along the crest of the ridge that almost
encircled a deep valley in the Lookout
range just above Dalton. 1t was a natural
ment of such a tragedy as followed.
Twenty-seven men were marched down
pllndfolded and were pinioned TO stakes. A
full company of men was detailed. and IL
marched down to within a short distance
OF the doomed men who were TO &c exc
cuted according TO military law. Among
the number who had been sentenced were
Old gray-haired veterans, young men in
their prime, and one rich Alabama planter
whose wealth and influence had been ex-
erted in vain to save him.
THE entire army looked on i'm awed ST.
fence from the summit of the mountain
while the warrant was read, and the officer
In command gave the order 10 make ready.
Many turned away their heads as the sharp
crack Of. the rifles rang out. Twenty-Five
of the doomed men fell over, and would
have been stretched in death on the bloody
ground but for the fact that their bodies
were upheld by ropes with which they were
pinioned.
1.-Two OF them were only wounded. and
their cries for mercy rent the morning air
as the order was given TO load. With those
old muZZle-loading muskets IL took some
time to get ready, and IL was the most sick
ening sight that i ever Witnessed as those
poor fellows stood there writhing In agony
and begging for mercy, while unable to
raise their fettered hands In a last appeal.
Finally, after what seemed hours OF sus-
pense, a second volley rang out. and the
agoniZed voices OF the dying men were
hushed i'm death. The order was given for
us TO march back TO camp, but Il was
obeyed. II was a long time before the usual
reckless hilarity prevailed in the camp
again. The effect on the army was not SO
salutary as Bragg expected. The Wholesale
butchery disheartened the men, and deser-
tions became more frequent than ever. Had
he pursued a more merciful course i believe
II would have been better.

ecution and piled into one grave i'm that

JOSEPH LOADER In TROUBLE.
Man Who SwOre He Saw Henry Ward
Beecher Kiss Mrs. TiItOn.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Joseph Loader
a wealthy furniture dealer or Brooklyn.
this morning was arrested on a charge of
perjury preferred by his young wife. The
charge grew out of a suit brought by Miss
Rose Bretter. formerly Leaders house,
keeper. against Loader to recover diamonds
and jewelry which had belonged TO Leaders
first wife and which Miss Bretter said
Loader had given to her. Miss Bretter de-
clared she left the diamonds in Leaders
care. In the Henry Ward Beecher trial
Loader testified that he was an upholsterer
and that in the month Of October. 1869. he
was working i'm the house of Theodore TIL
ton. While engaged in laying carpets on
the main stairs he saw Mr.. Beecher enter
the front door of the house. Mrs. Tilton
met him in the hall. He said Mr.. Beecher
put his arms around Mrs. TiltOn's waist
and drew her to him. Mr.. Beecher kissed
her on the cheek and she kissed him.
