THE TWO WORDS.

But yet the hauh word left trace
The kind word could not quite efface,
And though the heart its love regained,
1t bore scar that long remained;
Friends could forgive but not forget.
Or lose the sense OF keen regret.
oh, II we could but learn to know
How swift and sure our words can 60,
How would we weigh with utmost caro-
Each thought before II sought the air,
And only speak the words that move
Like white-winged messengers Of love.
Great Thoughts.

One day harsh word, rashly said,
Upon an evil journey sped,
And like q sharp and cruel dart
1t pierced fond and loving heart;
1t turned friend into q foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe.
A kind word followed It one day,
Flew swiftly on its blessed way;
1t healed the wound, II soothed the pain,
And friends OF old were friends again.
1t made the hate and anger cease,
And everywhere brought Joy and peace.

Stephen H. Phillips died this morning,
aged "A years, with a hundred yards

He prepared for college under Sal

ward in 1912, and studied law in the
Dane School the three following years,
having among his associates the late
ex-President Hayes, Chief Justice Lee

to the bar in 1916, and in 1851 was at
torney for Essex In 1857 he was elect
ed Attorney-Ge of Massachusetts,,
and in 1859 was appointed Judge Ad-
vocate- General of the Militia.
In 1866 he accepted an offer of Ka-

Minister.
At times he performed the duties of

Favors 1T.
CHICAGO, H., April S.-The Chica-
dent sends the following:
The administration is heartily In
sympathy with the scheme to annex
the Hawaiian Islands. The movement
will be pushed with vigor as soon as
the tariff bill is out of the way. The
President will send a special message
to Congress on the subject il neces-
sary, but it is believed when Congress
takes the matter up it will be speedily
settled to the satisfaction of the an
ference on the part of the Executive
Minister Hatch and Attorney Gen
eral Smith, representing the Hawaiian
Government, have been actively at
work during the past 80 days cultivat-
ing annexation sentiment. They have
held frequent conferences with Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretary Sherman,
Speaker Reed and the members of the
Foreign Affairs Committees of both
houses of Congress. They urge that
annexation is necessary to save the
Islands from Japanese domination.
The plan agreed upon for annexation
is similar to that followed in the case
of Texas. The independence of Texas.
like that of Hawaii was secured main
ly through the assistance of citizens of
the United States. The movement for
the annexation of Texas first took defi-
mite shape in the Congress of the Unit
ed States. A resolution providing for
annexation passed Congress in 1S45.
The President of the Texas Republic
Immediately called a convention which
accepted the resolutions and adopted
q constitution which was satisfactory
to the authorities in this country and
annexation followed
The plan to be observed in regard to
Hawaii is embodied in a resolution
which was presented in the House
March 29th by Spalding of Michigan.
1t is an exact copy of the resolution
which was used in the Texas case, ex-
cept that the word Hawaii is insert
ed wherever the word Texas" occur
red in the original resolution. The first
section of Spalding's resolution pro-
vides that Congress consents that the
territory properly included within and
rightfully belonging to the Government
Of Hawaii and commonly known as the
Sandwich Islands may be erected into

ernment to be adopted by the people

| Importance of Islands Considered In
Sending Her Here.
For some years he resided in San
Francisco as resident director and so
licitor of the Equitable Life Insurance
Company Mr.. Phillips was dele
gate to the first Republican convention
in 1856, helping to nominate John G..
Fremont for President. He was also
delegate to the Republican conven-
ton of 1861 which nominated Lincoln.
In 1871. while on a visit to the United
States, Mr. Phillips married Miss Mar
garet D.. daughter of Hon. James H.
Duncan of Haverhill.
The Washington Star of April I'd
says that Secretary Long is authority
for the statement that the orders of
the flagship Philadelphia to proceed to
Honolulu have no significance. Also at
the State Department it is said that the
movement has not been requested by
it. as would have been the case had
the threatened trouble between the
Japanese and the Hawaiian Govern
ment entered into the calculations of
the Navy Department. The Philadel-
phia is to relieve the Marion. which
only arrived on the station, relieving
the Alert about two weeks ago The
reason for the change is said to be a
belief on the part OF the Secretary of
the Navy that from the Importance of
Honolulu commercially and otherwise,
the United States should have a ship
Of higher class than the Marion sta
toned there. The Marion is one of the
ships of the old navy, but the Phila-
deIphia, while q modern and powerful
cruiser. is sadly out of condition in
many respects. 1t was the Intention of
the department just a. soon as the re-
pairs to the Baltimore were completed
10 use her TO replace the Philadelphia
as flagship Of Pacific station and to
put the latter craft OFT of commission
and thoroughly renOyate her. AS for
he Marion. it is conjectured that she
may be sent onward to Samoa, to show
the United States flag in that quarter
Of the globe for the first time in four
years.
Despite these paci@c assurances it
is believed that there is a great deal
more significance in the orders to the
Philadelphia than thu administration
cares to have known by the public at
the present time In certain circles it
is taken TO mean that the present ad-
ministratiOn is favorably disposed to-
ward the project for the annexation Of
tne Hawaiian Islands to the United
States. and that the departure of the
Philadelphia is preliminary step in
that direction. 1t is argued that unless

some action of Importance. similar to
that indicated. were in contemplation,
there would be no special object in
replacing an old-fashioned snip OF war
at Honolulu with one OF the best yes
sells OF the modern navy. There is
nothing in the present political situ-
alton in Hawaii growing out Of the
controversy over the peaceful invasion
of the Japanese, il is said. that would
Justify interference by the United
States Government under its existing
friendly relations with Japan and Ha-
waii. Such a course OF action as would
prevent the Japanese from getting vir-
tual control of the Islands would. how
ever, become necessary in the extreme
ly probable event of the conclusion Of
a treaty of annexation with the Ha-
waiian Republic. A strong effort is be-
ing made in that direction with every
indication of a successful issue. 1t is
expected that active and vigorous ne
gotiations for the annexation OF Ha-
waii will be pressed by the Hawaiian
Minister and the Annexation Commits
sion now in this city as soon as the
tariff bill is out of the way and the
President and the Secretary of State
are relieved from the present tremen-
dous pressure for Offices.

COSTS IN FELONY CASES.
Decision Rendered by Judge Bennett
in an Important Case.

Judge Bennett of Luzerne county, in
ar opinion handed down Monday, de-
cided that costs must be paid in fell
ony cases where the defendant is ac
quilted. The decision is an importan.
one and clears up knotty point in dis
pute between Controller Lloyd and a
number of persons whose costs in cases
affected by the decision have been
tied up by the controller refusing to
honor the orders. The decision rem
dered yesterday was upon a case stat
ed.
The act of 1860 made all costs pay
able by the county but in 1874 the Leg
iGlature passed another act along the
same line covering all costs except "ac-
quittal in felony" This act was am
biguCu us in its terms and ControllAr
Lloyd. acting upon the advice of mis-
attorney, refused his approval for bills
for costs in felony cases where the de-
tendant was acquitted.
Tie costs held back for the past fouI
m nths on account of the action pend.
lng will amount to about $1,000.
