ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Former Minister ThurstoE Speaks of
This COuntry's Policy.

New York, Dec. 11.-At the meeting of
the Potria Club, at Delmonico' S last nj ht
I4orin A. Thurston, formerly minister
from Hawaii to this country, made an
address on the annexation nf the islands
to this country.
Mr.. ThurstOn first treated the subject
historically, showing that every admins
tration from Tyler, in 1912, to Mckinley
had taken the stand that no foreign ma
ton should control the isinds, and quoted
documents from three secretaries of
State, Legare, Webster and Clay, which
recommended war with France rather
than let that power take possession of
the islands.
Mr.. Thurston treated exhaustively the
subject of Hawaii being the strategic KEY
Vt the Pacific, and. as such being of in.
calculable Importance to this country.

A Warrior in Peace.

4 visitor who recently called to see
General Longstreet at his farm uca,
Gainesville, Ga. says: Il looked for II
large. old-fashioned Southern place
with pillars and Il wide hall. Instead
the house was an ordinary story-and-l
half farmhouse, such as a Northern
carpenter might build. A board nailed
TO a tree offered wine for sale at Il
very low price, and | saw an extensive
VINEYARD across the road. y lean, farm
er-like person told me that Gen. Long
street was in his vineyard, and there
came upon him, scissors in hand bus
iIy pruning his vines. He is big old
man. stopping a little now, and slow
of GAIT. He wears long white whiskers
cut away from his chin. His hair is
white as wool, but his skin is ruddy, as
though sleep and good digestion We're
still his to command. We talked for
time about his garden and vineyard

ear. He could not hear very well in the

there was n slight smile about his
eyes"

Fighting 10" Shelby,

Gen. Joseph Shelby, Fighting Jo,"
who recently died at his farm near
Adrian, Mo-, was one of the real heroes
of the late war and as picturesque a
character at it produced.
Gen. Shelby came of Il distinguished
Kentucky family. He was born in the
neighborhOOd of Lexington, Ky, in
1881. Courage, courtliness and chival
~ came to Shelby by inheritance. His
grandfather was Isaac Shelby, the first
Governor of Kentucky, in whose day
the fighting of Indians WAS common
occupation. His father was Col James
Shelby, who played part at the battle
of the Thames under William Henry
Harrison, and came out Of the war Of
1872 with the luster of glorious deeds.
He went to Missouri fifty-three years
ago and settled in Audrain County,
where for great many years he car
ried on an extensive business as
planter in connection with his step
father.
When the war broke out Gen. Shelby
espOused the Southern cause with all
the ardor Of his nature and when he
refused to surrender after Appomattox

To Clean Lenses.

A very soft chamois skin is best for
cleaning lenses. etc. If greasy, wipe
with little tissue paper wet with
weak aikali. Lenses should be cleaned
as rarely as possible: when cleaning,
use old linen. not silk. A lens some
times ;Sequires brown rusty stain on
the surface, which no amount of rub
bing or cleaning will remove. BY ap-
plying a paste composed of putty-pow-
der or very fine rouge and water to
the stains, and then rubbing briskly
with either the point of the finger or
the side of the hand, every spot of rust
or stain will be removed in a few mo-
ments. This applies to Photographic or
other lensSs, except the object-glass
of telescope, which would be ire
parably damaged by such treatment.

A Debt-CreatinS Tariff.

The first fruits of the new tariff law
are decidedly discouragiIg, for the
revenue collected under it during Au-
gust fell behind the amount collected
during the corresponding month last
year by about % per cent. This, if
continued, will force the country to
face a deficit by the time congress
meets in December of something like
$30,000,000 for the four months, or at
the rate Of nearly $1OO,0OO,OO0 a year.
Ostensibly this Dingley measure was
framed to provide first Of all more rev.
enue for the government. 1t was to
do much better in this respect than the
Wilson tariff, and the result is that
those who predicted that it would pro-
duce from $15,000,000 to S10O,000,000
year less are going to be proven alb
solutely reliable prophets if this first
months experience is any criterion of
what is to follow.
OF course, the expenses of the gov
ernment are going on as before, or are
increasing. While the total receipts by
the treasury last month were only a
little over $19,OOO,O0O, the outlay was
close on to 100000, so that there
is an actual deficit of nearly $15,OOO,-
600 for this one month for the tax
payers to ponder Over.-New York
News.

Star Pointer Took Third Heat at the
Indiana State Fair in 2:O1.
The worlds race record was broken at
Indianapolis Saturday afternoon by Star
Pointer, deciding the closing heat Of the
match race with Joe Pachen. The
weather was perfect and the track at its
best. But one heat Of the race was TO be
finished, each having taken a heat on the
afternoon previous, the race going over
on account of darkness. Pachen had the
pole, and he set fast clip to the quarter
pole, which was passed in 29sl Sec
onds. Packen was leading up the
back stretch by length, but when
McClary urged Star Pointer on, he re-
sponded nobly. BE crawled lup inch by
inch, and in few seconds a blanket
would have covered the pair. At the half
Pointer passed the pole neck in front OF
the black fellow in one minute. From
this point he gained little by little, until
ct the three quarters, which was reached

ly. Down the stretch Dickerson applied
the whip to Patchen, but Pointer gained
steadily. McClary laid the whip lightly
from the last eighth, and passed under
the wire at 2:01.

A Prize Beauty.

When you want to hear good stories,
advises the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune, you must join a group of vet
Grams. The best time is to find dozen
or two of them gathered around Il big
heating stove in post room, when the
weather is cold and the wind whistles.
These conditions recall old days when
comforts of any kind We're all but I'M
known. Then one of them will thaw
out and tell a story, not necessarily of
the hairbreadth escape, for the veteran
is rather modest in this direction, but
n story filled with humor and of nov
el kind.
At the George Thomas Post some
time since one of 1.-The boys" grew REM
iniscent. One of them had alluded to Il
beauty show then in progress. This led
another to remark that there would be
no entries if it was for ugly women.
"And that reminds me- said a third,
''of little incident that happened
when we were in Eastern Kentucky
after Humphrey Marshall. Or maybe
he was after us. I'm not certain. Any
how, we had passed through a country
where the women We're prOverbially
ugly. We had passed hundreds during
the day, and generally they called us
Yanks, or any old name to make us
