Joseph p. Smith, Director OF
the Bureau, says in a predatory
note:
The following compilation, ex-
cepting the historical sketch of
the country, was prepared for the
Commercial Directory of the
American Republics to be issued
by the Bureau of the American
Republics during the current
year. 1t is printed separately in
this form III response to the wide.
spread demand for information as
to the natural resources, indus
tries, and commerce Of the Ha-
waiian Islands and their present
DOljtical stains.
Nine distinct sources of material
for the compilation are credited
IN a footnote to the initial page
OF the first chapter, two of which
are Hawaiian, viz: the pamphle,
Issued by the Department OF
Foreign Affairs last year, entitled,
"Ihe Hawaiian Islands," and "a
Brief History of the Hawaiian
People," by w. ID. Alexander.
The others are United States de-
partmental and consular reports
and documents of the United
States Congress. Such an off
cial publication as this, in
which the United States proclaims
Hawaii to the world as Que of the
"American" republics, must be
regarded at the present juncture
as highly significant. 1t is be-
sides, specifically, to be regarded
as a great service to the Republic
OF Hawaii, dividing with its gov.

the wildly prevailing thirst of

Although the culinary has in the last
a0 years made rapid strides. there is
certain sameness about dinner parties
which, to the habitual diner-out. comes
but little short Of dun monotony. A
lady in Kensington originated the idea
Of giving every year a memorial dinner
on the anniversary Of her husbands
death. The dining-room was draped for
the occasion in mauve and black
The tablecloth was of mauve silk. and
the only decorations used were violets.
The ladies were gowned either in black
or mauve, and the footmen were
dressed in black breeches and coats
and mauve silk stockings. On either
side of the hostess sat two black
poodles, exeellently clipped after the
approved French fashion, with mauve
colored bows on ,heir necks. The
menu was remarkable for the absence
Of any color in the viands. save mauve,
the rest being either black OF white.

Commotion.

COmmotion.
CHESTERFIELD Ind. Nov. 27.-An
explosion of nitroglycerin occurred a
half mile west of this city last night
sixty quarts of Tstroglycein had been
hauled there for the purpose of shoot
ing a gas well. The explosive was plac-
ed in a large zinc tub located at the
end of a steam exhaust pipe for the
purpose Of thawing out the mixture. 1t
is the theory that the tub became over
heated. causing an explosion, with dis
astrous results. A hole 10 feet long and
several in depth was torn I'm the earth.
The engine was blown to pieces.
Drillers Haney and Mcclure had a
remarkable escape. They were stand
Ing within 90 feet Of the scene OF the
accident and were hurled 20 feet by the
force of the explosion; but, with the
exception of a few bruises they are un-
hurt.
Persons a mile away were lifted from
their feet by the conclusion, and the
jar was felt for ten miles. Fire fol-
lowed the explosion. but the flames
were quickly eXtinguished.

BURNING WOMEN.
Satisfying the Savage Human In
stinct OF Cruelty.

Satisfying the Savage Humnn In
stinct OF Cruelty.
The horrible punishment of burning
women alive seems TO have existed in
Saxon, England, but perhaps only in
the case of slaves, says the Athenaeum.
Under the Norman rulers, any woman.
bond or free, who killed her husband,
was burned alive, and the same punish
ment for this crime. and also for high
treason, and even for coming and other
minor offenses. continued or arose from
time to time through the second and
third periods until IL was abolished by
act of parliament in 1900, the last actual
execution of this kind having, however.
taken place six years earlier. The whip
ping of women for various offenses con-
tinued even later; public whipping
was not abandoned until 1917, and cases
of private whipping occurred rs late as
1920.
There can be no doubt, we think, that
the savage human instinct of cruelty
had something to do with the burbarous
punishments above mentioned As the
old Roman public longed for the
carnage OF the circus, as the Spanish
populace crowded to the auto-da-fe in
the fourishing days of the inquisition.
so the lower (perhaps not only the low
er) strata of English nationality took
delight in witnessing tortures which,
in all probability. were devised and
kept up partly for their entertainments
Mr.. Cleveland tells us that Judge
Jeffreys, in sentencing a woman to be
whipped, is reported to have said:
"Hangman, I charge you to pay par
ticular attention TO this lady. Scourge
her till her blood runs down. It is
Christmas time, a cold time for madam
to strip; see that you burn her shoul-
ders thoroughly"

TIE PoIRlER MURDER.
1t Is Now Thought That His Wife Is I'M
plicated In His Death.


MONTREAL. Nov. 27.-Nionday morn
inc last the dead body of Isidore Poi
rier a farmer, was found In his house.
at st. Canute. Poirier had undoubtedly
been murdered, his body showing many
stab wounds and his throat having been
cut from ear to ear. Mrs. Poirier. when
questioned as to the killing of her hus-
band. said that he had killed himself.
The woman at first made a great
show of grief. but later treated the
matter very lightly. Detectives were
sent fc-. and Mrs. Poirier and a man
named Samuel Parslow who had been
paying attention to her, were arrested
and charged with the crime.
Parsiow made full confession 20 De-
tective McCaslSill In his confession he
says that on Sunday evening, urged on
by Mrs Poirier. he stabbed Poirier with
the butcher knife that was found in the
room after the murder was committed.
Poirier was in bed asleep at the time.
Mrs. Poirier was there, he says. After
the first. he does not remember any
thing of what happened till he found
himself at his brothers house some
distance away.
Mrs. Poirier, in a statement, absolute
ly denies any completely in the affair.
She claims that she does not know
anything about the murder and that
she was at her fathers house at the
time that Parslow says he stabbed her
husband

The Method by which n Deaf and
Mind noy WINS TnnEht.

The Method by which Dear ana
Mind BOY Was Taught.
William T. Ellis writes paper for
The st. Nicholas on Helen Keller and
Tommy Stringer," telling how the well.
known blind girl secured means for the
education of little boy similarly af-
ilicted. by personal appeals TO the pub
DC Helen raised a sufficient sum to send
little Tommy Stringer TO the kinder
garten for the blind at Jamaica Plain,
Mass. Mr.. Ellis says of his education in
this institution:
"Thither, on April 10, 1891, came
"Baby Tom." as Helen called this five
year-old child. 1t was a pitiful spec
tacle thu, greeted bis Boston friends
when the boy was brought 10 the kin
dergarten. His life had been spent
mostly in bed Git was the easiest place
to care for him). and he could not
walk at all. nor even stand with con-
fidence. OF signs for indicating his
wants he had none. He was as n little
beast. tearing and destroying his own
clothes. and all else destructible that
was within his reach. His temper and
stubbornness were fearful.
To the appalling task of giving the
first rays of light to this child, Helen
and her teacher set themselves, until Il
permanent instructor could be secured.
With almost inconceivablc patience and
love, kind friends began the education
OF this untutored mind. The lessons Of
discipline. regular habits, and obe-
dience had to precede and accompany
the teaching Of manual speech.
How could this child, who had not
the remotest conception of any sort Of
language, be taught to talk?
The method, simply stated, was this:
Every time that bread was given him
tho letters "b-r-e-a-d" were formed in
the manual alphabet on the boys own
fingers, and also in his hand, by the
fingers Of his teacher. Again and again
this was repeated, thousands Of times.
It was slow work. The mind had lain
too long without knowledge TO receive
easily the idea Of speech. Even after
the teachers were sure that Tom under
stood the definite connection between
the word bread" and those finger mo-
tions, he refused to use his knowledge,
because of his strange perversity. At
last, after nine months of teaching and
waiting, the little fingers voluntarily
spelled "b-r-e-a-d," and the beginning
had been made.
Other words soon followed, and ere
long the mystery of speech was com
pretended. Tom took his place in
the kindergarten classes and learned
all that was taught the other boys.
Reading, writing, arithmetic. gym
nastics and other studies were un-
dertaken; and to-day, in almost all
respects, save such as are entirely de-
pendent upon eye and ear, he is as well
educated as the average boy Of his
years.

THE KAISER MURDER
James Olemmer Arrested and
Admits His Guilt.
He WAS THE VICTIM OF A DECOY.
The Woman Was Murdered For Her Life
Insurance-Two Men and Woman
Implicated In the Crime-waitinE
For RequisitIon Papers.

NEWARK. N. j.. Nov. 27.-James A.
Clemmer of Norristown, Pa, was ar
rested here yesterday afternoon on the
charge of murder, and after being ta-
ken to police headquarters he admitted
his guilt
On Oct. &c, 1896, Mrs. Emma P. Kais-
er went driving in company with her
husband, Charles Q. Kaiser James A.
Clemmer and Elizabeth L. de Kalb.
The start was made from the Kaiser
homestead early in the morning, and
that was the last seen alive Of Mrs.
Kaiser in Norristown.
Mrs. Kaiser had not lived with her
husband for some time previously, but
she had placed a $40 900 insurance policy
on her life. and this accounted later to
the police for the interest her husband
took in her.
On the same day Kaiser, Clemmer
and the De Kalb woman returned with
Mrs. Kaiser's dead body. They told a
story of having been waylaid by high
waymen, Mrs. Kaiser being shot dead
and Kaiser himself being slightly
wounded in the arm. The story was
not believed. and Kaiser and the De
Kalb woman were arrested, Clemmer
making his escape.
hdlStI Was tNtHluhllg lIltOs CONVICT
ed and sentenced to DEATH and the De
Kalb woman is now being held for
trial.
The first the Newark authorities knew
of the presence Of Clemmer in this city
was when they received instructions
from James A. Strasburger. district at
tOrney of Columbia county. Pa, to ar
rest him. A personal had been inserted
in New York paper purporting TO be
from the De Kalb woman. Clemmer
was a victim Of the decoy and respond
ed with a letter which fell into the
hands of the district attorney. Glen,
mer was then easily located.
When he was arrested, he took mat
ters calmly and denied his guilt. He
claimed that his name was Harry e.
Youngs and that he knew nothing OF
the Norristown affair. After being TAX
en- to police headquarters he was search
ed and the police found on him a roll
of clippings from newspapers contain
ing a full account of the Kaiser murder,
including the trial and conviction Of
Kaiser. Clemmer then weakened and
said: TN the man you want. might
as well admit it,
He offered to go to Pennsylvania
without waiting reqvisition papers, but
he will be held until the proper steps
have been taken for his extradition.
