AN ANCIENT MEXICAN CITY.
4 Curious Legend Some Relics of Emperor
 hzaxinli1ian

 Maximian.
 Quefetaro was q town before the Spanish conquest and was made city in l655. A legend of Queretaro is that an Otomite chief. Fernando de Tapia by name, undertook to convert the city to Christianity in a way that seems novel to us, but was common enough to his day He came from Tula with a challenge to the people of Queretaro to fair stand up fight If he won, the people surviving were to be baptized. The challenge was accepted but while tho fight was in progress q dark cloud came mp and tie blessed Santiago was seen iii the heavens with . fiery cross. whereupon the people of Qneretaro gave mp and were baptized They set up stone cross to commemorate the event on the site of the present church of Santa Cruz There is scarcely q church in Mexico which has not legend of this kind attached to it. The town is identified with the history of Mexico.
 Here the treaty of peace between the United States and Mexico was ratified in 1848, and here MaximiIlan made his last stand in 1867 was obliged to sur render and was shot Everybody is in- terested ill Maximilian mainly on ac- count of poor Carletta. Maximilian was executed on the Gerro de las Campanas and with him Generals Miramin and Media. The place is narked by three little crosses of stone. The two gen. erals were killed at the first vollay, but Maximilian, who had requested that he be shot through the body that his mother might look upon his face, was only wounded. and a second firing was required to kill him.
 The emperor had been led to believe that Garietta vas dead She became in- sane from grief and was kept in an asy- lum for many years, bat she still lives and still mourns for Der tiaaa husband and the loss of her throne. The United States government protested against the execution Of Haximilian. but in vain. Juarez refusing to spare him.
 There are all kinds of relics of Maxi milan in Mexico--the Yturbide thea ter, where he was tried and condemned, the table on which the death warrant was signed, the wooden stools OH which the prisoners sat during the trial and the coffin of Maximilian, whose remains were subsequently sent to Austria and buried at Miramar. 1 confess I do not share in any sentiment of pity for Max imilian, who was all adventurer with out shadow of right ill Mexico and took the chances of war. He was, 1t Is true, victim of Napoleon and of his own ambition and was very scuryily treated by those who had induced him to set up his throne in Mexico hut to have released him would have been to establish claimant for the Mexican throne. It was better that this man should die than that thousands should be sacrificed in the wars he would sure- ly have fomented if he had been allowed to live. ye.-Philadelphia Ledger

from the southeast. The flood tide
tripped her until her yardarms were
almost in the water, and the frequent
ers of the water front, remembering
the case of the Baltimore, thought she
would capsize. The ballast in her,
however, was sufficient to keep her
from keeling over and after the squall
she righted.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and /
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

this line and have just received lot of the

Having met with the highest sue.

Syrup of Figs, il has become import.
ant to all to have knowledge Of the
Company and its products. The
great value Of the remedy rs n medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions Of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manuiact-
uring, figs are used, MS they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benehcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.
