In Memory of n Former Member of Howard
Relief Company.

Through the kindness of members of
the late Mr.. Walter Furlong's family,
Mr.. Martin Rathjen, president of How
are Relief Steam Fire Engine Company
Nc. 1, has secured a photograph of Mr..
Furlong, who died some years ago., and
has had it enlarged and framed to be
hung in the company's hall. The pho
tograph was copied from one taken
while Mr.. Furlong had on citizens
clothes, but Mr.. III. Cronenberg finished
it with the regulation uniform of the
Howard Relief Company on.
Mr.. Furlong during his life time was
a highly esteemed member of Howard
Relief Company and was, We believe,
the second foreman the company ever
had. He was also the engineer of the
first steamer the company secured after
it's old fashioned and engine was rel
egated to the rear. .
MIR. Furlong was h father of our

GROWTH OF OUR TRUCKING n
TERESTS.
In my opinion the principal factor in
promoting the prosperity and progress
of our city and section is agriculture.
1t is encouraging to know that there is
progress in this branch of industry,
evidenced not only by the increased
cotton crop but also Of grain. In our
immediate section truck and berry,
crops are of no little Importance. We
are apt to lose sight of the industry
because it has not heretofore come
under our observation or in our lines
Of "a 1 believe these crops IA
increased tenfold during the past five
years, and in many sections where cot
ton has been and is an important crop,
it is conceded by those who know best
that the value of the truck and berry
crops is greater than hat of cotton.
1t behooves III to give such encourage

LITERARY NOTES.


Miss Marie Corelli has been celebrat.
ing the twelfth anniversary of her de-
but as a novelist and it appears that
the royalties on her initial volume,
her celebrated Romance of Two
Worlds" would be ample for her sup
port event if she had no other sources
of income. And yet, as in so many
historic cases, the publishers readers
rejected the story as romantic rubbish.
There have been many authors as
exacting as Herbert Spencer, but few
as frank. 1t is told of the Spencer of
two or three years ago: "He had con-
ceived an intolerance of remarks of a
commonplace and unfruitful character
and had brought with him an apparatus
which he could at pleasure slip over his
ears and which spared him the pain of
aucicular contact with less gifted NOR
tails.
Mr.. William lie Queux, whose novel,
Devils Dice" has just come out, is
at present living in Nice, where he Is
writing a new story of mystery for
serial purposes. The scenes will be
laid in England and at Monte Carlo,
and it will probably appear under the
biblical title of "If Sinners Entice
Thee" 1t is understood that the story
will be entirely English in character,
although its climax occurs on the Med
iterranean shore.
Mr.. Hall Game contradicts the report
that at the Manx general election he
would endeavor to secure seat for
Peel in the house of Keys. In letter
Just published he says: at may save
further trouble if say at once that a
seat in the house of Keys would be
an honor and pleasure entirely beyond
my possibilities, because as man of
letters have large and exacting con-
stitueacy already which demands all
my time and much more than all my
energy"

ell, "Flames," has just been published.
was at one time student at the Royal
College Of Music until he gave up the
study and became a critic of music.
His early literary career was begun
under the tutorship of gentleman
who had a school for journalists, but
1t was not until his Green Carnation"
was published that the reading public
gave him due recognition. Mr.. Kitchens
has had some success as a dramatist
and he is now engaged on a play with
a collaboration.

It's always gratifying to receive testii
monials for Chamberlaln's Collie, Chol-
era and DiaIrhoea Remedy and when
the endorsement is from a physician
is especially so. "There is no more
satisfactory or effective remedy than
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-

Olney, Mo-; and as he has used the
Remedy in his own family and SOLD it

awarding the city lighting at the

negative explaining that 1t was be-

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

The prospect now Is that Hawaiian
annexation soon will he an acc M.
plishe ed fact. The action is Liz ely to cause
u little commotion In diplom tic cir
ces abroad Iest the U nited States may
enter upon colonial policy that
might affect European nationa. but
this will snbside ~ tits realised that
any such policy suggested by Hawaiian
annexation 10 vary limited in Its
scope. As the treaty was signed today
by the representatives OF the Hawaiian
republic anu this government. there is
no room for any important dispuler.
The extension over Hawaii Of the
United States laws restricting mon
golian i'm migration may cause Japan
to ask come questions about the Japan
Hawaii treaty, but since Hawaii
ceases 10 exist as a separate govern
ment those questions will be answered
easily. There In no new com pllcntion
because OF the Chinsse and Japanese
now on the 5andwic islands, for they
are prohibited from changing their
residence to any other state or terri
tory OF the United States. AS to
the admission OF the Hawaii
ans themselves to tho rights OF
citizsnship. that will follow as a
matter OF course. There never has
been any legislation against the
Hawaiians, but they have been re.
fused citizenship. In this State 1t was
once claimed by court that they be.
longed to the Malay race, which Is not
the fact. Their eligibility TO oitisst-
ship, however, is now brought up by
the treaty In q distinc. form, since they
are natives Of territory acquired by
this government. There 10 no doub
that more advantage will accrue to thu
present Hawaiian government than to
the United States by annexation; anr
it is to bs hoped that the natives there
will share the advantage Of ar

DISADVANTAGES OF ZIG CITIES.


When the work OF the Pioneers who

10 worthy OF all admiration. 1t shows
tho sound philosophy that was treat
ured up in the minds Of those worthy
leaders of vast enterprise, and the
desire they had to lay foundations
Of superior excellence. We refer to
the manner in which they planned
the various settlements, evidently
with view OF preserving to the liz.
habiiants the benefits OF healthy
rurnl mode OF living coupled with the
educational aud other advantages OF
