A STAR FAKE.

1t is not often that we find any
thing in the Star worthy OF COM
ment, but an editorial in yesterdays
issue, under the title of "Intrigues,"
is such laughable exhibition of in.
ventive journalism that we feel
moved to give it more notice that it
otherwise deserves. The writer
claims to have discovered a "Royal-
list scheme" aud spreads it before its
readers. In short the scheme is to
restore Queen Liliuokalani, under
the joint protection Of Great Britain
and the United States. We are told
OF the Spheres of Germany, Eng
land, Spain and France" The
sphere OF the United States takes in
Hawaii politically and geographic
ally. Hear the writer in his effort
to hearten up the Annexation Club:
"The Hawaiian Islands belong to
The United States and to the United
States they will go in spite Of all
the groundless hopes and silly
bluster of the royalists." This bit
of buucombe is the result of too
much whiskey or too little soda.

University and Low of Columbia
University, and James G. Carter,
Esq, of New York.
Says the reviewer, Mr.. Walter H.
Page, "The most striking fact
emph asized by the whole body of
this work is the corruption that
liquor laws bring into local politics.
The corruption is not always in pro-
portion to the severity OF the law,
but often in proportion to the com
plexity Of the machinery OF its en-
forcement, and always in proportion
to the tagging of public sentiment
behind the letter OF the law. The
worst effect in political corruption
has been in Maine, in communities
where public opinion has not sup
ported the prohibition amendment
to the Constitution. The investi
gators solemnly record as one result
"a full-blown hypocrisy which is
nowhere so blatant as in the legis-
lative halls Prohibition, which is
already clearly waning as proposed
solution of the problem, can never
recover from the damaging conclu
sions drawn by the committee from
the study OF its operations in Maine
and Iowa. True, it has banished
breweries and distilleries from
Maine, but there is no evidence that
it has diminished the consumption
of alcoholic drinks The motives
of the original prohibitionists, and
of many later ones, were good, and
some benefits have resulted from
prohibitions; but 'unlooked-for evils
OF the gravest character also are due
to it, such as "a whole generation OF
habitual law. breakers, schooled in
evasion and shamslessness; courts
ineffective through fluctuations in
policy, delays, perjuries, negligen-
cies; officers of the law double-faced
and mercenary; fiice.holders un-
faithful to pledges; bribes, hush
money, and assessments for political
purposes, used to corrupt the lower
courts, the police administration,
political organizations, and even the
electorate itself The same phe-
nomena were found also in Iowa
under prohibitory law, which, as
in Maine, produced political, not to
say social, immoralities out Of pro
portion to its somewhat slight bene-
fits"

Gently found in the island of Barbados,
which is used as an intensifier Of the

portance to the electrician, however,
lies in the fact that it possesses many Of
the properties of an ideal insulator for

has a high luster and bright, con-
choidal fracture, resembling in appear
ance newly broken pitch. 1t is found
very near and sometimes upon the sur
face Of the ground, in seams varying
from one foot to two feet i'm thickness,
running usually at an angle of about
40 degrees and in close proximity to

formed by the drying up and consolida-

MRS. cURRAN's YEAST.
Widespread Interest In It Since Its st0fx
Was Told.

Widespread Interest In It Since Its st6fx
Was Told.
A story was printed recently telling
how Mrs. Barbara Curran Of Orring-
ton, Me-, had kept the offspring Of
yeast plants which she had brought
from Ireland nearly 80 years before
alive and thriving until today, and
how the bread prepared with this yeast
was apparently more light and palata-
BILE than that made from other yeast
In less than week from the time this
story was printed letters began to arrive
asking further particulars about the
yeast; how it was prepared, what in
gradients were used in it's preparation.
and how long it would keep. Nearly
all asked for the recipe, and good
number wanted to know if she had any
for sale.
For a day or two the letters came
from Maine towns and New England
places near by. Later New York, Phil
adelphia and Chicago housekeepers sent
inquiries, and then women in San Fran
cisco and all along the Pacific coast be-
gan to write. Beginning with two or
three letters q day, Mrs. Curran's cor
respondence swelled until every mail
brought letters in bundles.
AS Mrs. Curran is an invalid, the
work of making reply devolved upon
her youngest daughter, Hannah, who
sits up and writes answers every night
while watching with her mother. She
had nearly caught up with her corre-
spondence when one mail brought 16
letters from Ireland asking the same
questions.
One woman, writing from Limerick,
expressed q belief that the original
yeast seed had belonged to her grand
mother, q woman who had the reputa-
tion Of making the best bread in Ire
land. AS Mrs. Curran was born in
county Limerick, the statement may be
correct, though she is now too i'll to
affirm or deny what is said. At the
present time Hannah devotes about four
hours a day to answering correspond.
ents and hopes to see the end before
many days, though new letters from
England, Canada and Scotland indicate
that the story is still spreading. New
