IF the United States should decide
not to &C cept Hawsii's offer of annexa-
tion, the fate of the islands would not
remain uncertain for any length of
time. They are now waiting to be an
nexed, and if the American people re-
ject them, there are other wide awake
powers waiting and anxious to snatch
them without temporizing. 1t is hard
ly conceivable, however, that the peo-
pie of this country will be so blind to
their own interests as to act in this
manner. These islands, as has fire.
quently been said, are the key to the
Pacific, as they are in the line of all
ships passing up and down that ocean
and they will be of vastly more inn
pOrtance to this, country when more
ireCt communications shall have been
established between the two oceans by
M ans of the Nicaraguan canal Oppo-
sition is being urged by some states
men on the ground that the annexation
of the islands will destroy or cripple
the new beet sugar industry. 1t is i'm
possible 10 understand why moments
situation does not eliminate this feat
ure of the discussion. The beet sugar
industry and the sugar industry in Ha.
wall do not in any way interfere. Su-
gar beets are Low being raised with
profit in various sections OF the country,
nowhere more SO than on the Pacific
slope, and the California factories have
bad to compete with the full force of
the Hawaiian sugar industry, the
treaties OF the United States with those
islands having, for yea past, admit
ted their sugar free of duty. The cor
dition, from the beet sugar standpoint,
will not be change cd IN the slightest by
the annexation of the islands.

LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NY
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his ca Sc very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

none so useful as discretion 1t is this
which gives value 10 all the rest, ar d
sets them at work 10 their proper

more sprightly in errors aud active to
his own prejudice. Though a man has
all other perfection, and wants dis

ALTHOUGH the situation in China
is still somewhat critical, Uncle Sam
is not narrowing any trouble over it.
The attitude of Japan is giving some OF
the big powers of Europe uneasiness,
chiefly because England occupies much
the same position as Japan as to the
acquisition of exclusive privileges by
other nations, and the position of both,
as to this matter, suits all the purposes
of the United States. The loan of $50,
100000 now being sought by China is
cutting considerable figure in the
premises, as both Russia and England
want the losn, but each warts some
spe cial privileges in return.

Natural Gas Wells in the United States.

The wells usually are started with an
S-inch hole, says Casters Magazine,
which is fitted with wrought-iron pipe,
through the drift to the bed rock.
Through the succeeding strata a 81
inch hole is drilled and fitted with .
! wroughtiroD casing down to the solid,
imperviOus stratum located just above
the gas-bearing rock, through which
the drill is run without any casing into
the gas rock. Upon the Developments
at this point depend the next steps. A
mixture of oil and salt may be encoun-
:ered with the gas, and many ingenious
eXpedieats are adopted to separate
hem.
The gas is brought to the surface
through q or 3 iuch wrought-iron pipe,
at the bottom of which ia placed an
make gas and water tight Joint be-
tween the pipe and the solid, lmpervi-
Gus rock wall of the drill hole, and, if
wster and oil are found in the gas rock,
to keep them from flowing up from the
lower end of the pipe. The general
style OF the many types of packers is
the same. A hollow cylinder of rubber,
smooth or ribbed on the outside, and
as large as can be put in the well, is
held above and below by a slip joint.
When the tubing rests on the bottom
of the we'll, the weight OF its upper
part forces the top fange upon the rub
Der, di-tending it against the sides of
the well. and thus making a gas and
tig hit joint.
AT the surface end of the tubing
three valves are placed and arranged,
so that the well may be blown out into
The air. or shut off from the service
NJ ain, which is also blown out from
time to time. Before combining the gas
by closing these valves the bling is
ancb orsd down by clamps and ties to
the top of The Sinch, casing. In sp' te
of every precaution,. attempts to con-
troll the gas are often followed, where
great pressures are.e ncountered,. by the
lifting of the tubing casing and all
from the ground DISTANCES are re-
corded of wells remaining uncontrolled
fer over year.
The depth of the wells varies great
ly in the d ffarent fields, the widest
variations being in the Ohio and Penn
sylvapia districts, while in Indiana it is
more uniform. The best wells In
Indiana are about 1000 feet deep, and,
AS rule tap the Trenton limestone less
than 100 feet either way from sea

are much deeper below sea level

which he Comitted suicide by sending
a bullet through his own brain. The
tragedy occurred on the canal near the
locks between here and Freemansburg.
Blose was foreman of the Bethlehem
level of the canal and was at work
when the murder was committed.
Repscher. it seems. had been discharg-
ed from the COmpanys employ about
three weeks ago by Blose on account
Of drunkenness. The discharged man.
it is alleged. made threats to kill
Blosc as a result of his Discharge. The
opportunity came about o'clock this
afternoon. Repscher laid in wait for
BlOse along the tow path and as the
foreman came in sight around the
bend in the road, RepSCher opened fire
on him. He fired three shots at Blose,
all of which took effect. The wounded
man fell to the ground and when other
Workmen arrived he had just vitality
enough to tell who was his murderer.
after which he expired.
Repscher, meanwhile, had made his
escape by rowing across the Lehigh
river and was last seen going in the
direction of his home. A posse was
formed and went in pursuit of him.
1t had just reached Repscher's home
when pistol shots We're heard coming

came running out bleeding from a
wound in his side. Before Repschcr

the police that when his son came to
the house he told his father that he
had sot Blose and would kill every
