The Hawaiian Treaty of Annexation.

The Hawaiian Treaty OF Annexation.
WASHINGTON, June 16 The treaty
of annexation between the United
States and Hawaii will be formally V
signed today by Sherman, sec ccetary OF
stata, and Thurston. representing the
Hawaiian government. 1t will be sen
to the senate for confirmation tomorrow
or Friday.
The Hawaiian annexation treaty was
signed this morning at twenty minutes
past nine O'Clock in the diplomatic
room of the department. of state.
= he treaty has been sent to the SEN
ate for ratification.
The action of the administration will
not go unchallenged by other nations.
Toru HOshi, the Japanese minister,
called at the state department and in
the name of his government, formally
protested against the treaty. To what
extent the protest will be carried is
unknown.
NEW YORK-It is difficult to es-
innate the full political effect of the
Hawaiian treaty. until it's exact text is
known. 1t will probably be ratified by
the senate without material mOdifica-
tion. Its failure to provide a pension
for Queen Lii makes it more accepta BILE
to mauy. After annexation, the islands
will become a territory of the United
States with a governor, appointed by
the president, and delegate to con-
gress who will have voice, but no
vote. Hawaii would be in exactly the
same position as Alaska.

Gone Glinmering.

The McGinty band is ''out and in
jured" a fine slide trombone player,
Edward Goldberg, who has been with
the band since January. He came ORR
ginally from Cincinnati. served three
years in the Sixth infantry band at
Fort Thomas, and has played with
Bells,edt in Cincinnati, and with other
musical organizations. But he was of
wandering turn of mind, and found
his way out to the Pacific coast where
the knights of the green cloth did him
up, but he managed to get to this city
in November. The McGipties took
him in and cared for him, and he i'm
mediately blossO med out as fine slide
player. The water company gave him
work, and things looked beautiful, as
it were. But the young man got home
SICK, found a stockman going to West
Virginia with a train load of cattle,
and who was willing to let him work
his passage; and yesterday, Goldberg
was no more. The McGinties think he
might have at least said something,
and not skipped in that unceremonious
fashion.

Abuse of the Eycsight.

In the waiting room Of an up town
physician sat, one morning. a dozen
persons trying to read. The windows
were draped with heavy lace curtains,
the dull yellow shades were drawn
Gown to within about a yard of the bet
tom OF the long windows, and as the
day was cloudy the light in the room
was u very subdued twilight. Finally a
late conner had the c~ourage-it required
some, everything was SO very quiet and
lrreproachable-to go to the hall and
ask the dress suited door opener to come
and raise the shades. This he at once
did and turned on as well the electric
lights in the lack part of the room, tc

light. Which little incident is cited &c
emphasize what an oculist claracterizes
as the reckless abuse of the eyesigh,
which in these days has assumed the
proportions of an evil.
"On street and railway cars, in libra
rles, schools, offices, homes, everywhere,
eyes are unnecessarily tried" he says,
with the result that half the world is
in glasses years before the need should
arise. 1t is SO usual a thing now fo1
persons to be afflicted with ocular head
aches, that when a physicians advice is
sought for a persistent and unexplained
headache the patient is first turned
over to an ~oculist. Nine times out OF
ten defective vision sufficient TO produce
the disturbance is found, and seven
times out of ten the sufferer is the vic
tim of his W want of care in the use
OF his eyes. Women are frequent sinners
in this respect; they protect their COM
plexions in every possible way, while to
the delicate organ of sight they give
never a thought till the mischief is
done. New York Post.

that he must not disgrace his Dutch
ancestors. Eva appears to have been
much beloved by Edgar, who treasured
all her letters, her photographs and
one of her handkerchiefs, time-stained
and yellow.
