SAVED FROM DROWNING.
The Heroism of "A Miller In Rescuing a
Little Girl.

Little Girl.
The brave work of miller in saving
little girl from drowning is described
by the indianapolis Journal. The mill
owner and his wife, it appears, had gone
to the city, leaving an eight-year-old
girl at home. With other children she
went down to the mill to play, and by
some accident fell into the sluice which
feeds the turbine wheel.
The head miller heard a scream. and
not knowing what had happened, APP
piled a brake and stopped the machin-
cry. Then he ran out, found the little
girl just disappearing under the water.
and i'm he went after her.
Then he found himself in a hard
place. The water was eight feet deep.
and he was four feet below the top OF
the sluice, the sides of which were as
smooth as a polished floor. The girl
was unconscious. How was he To get
her out?
1t took one hand to hold her head
above water. and the other To keep him
self from sinking. He must try 10
throw her out, and this, by a great
effort, he did. But the rebound drove
him under water and against the wheel.
where he was in great danger of be

The girl was still unconscious. hut by

Evanescent Regulations of Persons Who
Fitted the Stage.

Theatrical reputation is the most
evanescent of all glories of life" sadly
observed the old actor, drawing his last
summers overcoat around him a little
tighter, according to the New York
Herald.
That's so,'' responded the agent,
''and nothing reminds one of this more
than an acquaintance with the bill
rooms of the old theaterS about the

of posting up bills and Autographs i'll

which is the lounging place of the trav-

panies and scenes that have been at

is done Systematically, with an idea for
general pictorial effect. and then looks
very pretty. But more often il is the
freak of some billposter, who s.aps up
a full length figure, or a lithograph
head, or something grotesque, the whole
collection forming a curious and some
times nightmarish tumble.
In the older bill-rooms will be seen
pictures of bygone favorites of the
American stage-of many persons who
were famous the other day and who to-
day are quite forgotten. They are
usually represented in their favorite
costume and part. Some of these were
the rage but few years ago-dreNv big

The details of the annexation of
Texas have great interest for every
one in Hawaii at the present time.
The Star has had prepared very
thorough historical resume of this
event, which will enable every one to
be familiar with an episode in United
States history that is by no means too
well known, in its details, to the gen
eral public. The conditions under
which foothold was obtained by the
Anglo-Saxon in Texas are not so dis
similar from those here. The acquisi-
ton of landed property led to the ac-
quisition of political power, and event
