4 WARNING FROM HONOLULU.
Honolulu, H. L, Aug. 18th. 1898.
To all Pythian Brethren, Greeting:
The annexation of these Islands by
the United States has caused many of
our brethren to project attempts to
better their condition or to find en-
ployment in what they consider a new
country.
Such we consider it our duty to warn
and to speak to in plain terms
The social and business communi-
ties of these Islands were old and well
established before the rush to Califor-
MIA.
HIS Is III 10 SENSE q new Country.
The only opportunity here is for the
man of large capital.
There is no employment here for me-
chanics of any kind or for unskilled
la Dor. Many men of ability, of good
habits and first class recommendations
are now here practically stranded.
There were idle men in Honolulu be-
fore the American flag replaced the
Hawaiian flag.
All lines of small business are fully
filled and in most cases over crowded.
Do not come here unless you have
the assurance in advance of steady
employment or have the capital to en-
gage in land development enterprises
requiring large means.
We spread this positive advice be-
cause we wish to save brethren disap-
pointment and distress. We state the
facts, as in more than honor bound
and trust sincerely that this circular
will accomplish it's mission.
The signatures are those of a joint
committee of Oahu and Mystic lodges,
including F. Waldron, J. Neill and G..
Erickson.

One afternoon, shortly after the sec ond visit of the Prussians to Bois-le- Due. little Marie Duret was alone In her parents cottage while they were at work in the fields. Marie was comedy little maiden, a dark-eyed. nut brown peasant girl, and though not dozen summers had passed over her head, she was q neat, thorough going little housewife. Although her home stood quite apart from the other cot tages and not far from the great forest, so that it could scarcely be called n part of Bols- e-Duc at all. Marie had become so accustomed to playing the mistress for whole day al n time that she did not in the least mind the loneliness.
 To-day she had set the house in or der. had swept the floor and had piled beside the large brick oven q heap of faggots against the morrow's baking. All her tasks completed, Marie took possession of a low chair and began sedately to amuse herself with large rag doll, her one playmate and insep- arabic companion.
 Now, 1t happened that on this very morning Captain Charles, the franc tireur, having gone out on rcconnoit- erlng expedition, had been cut off from his men by half n dozen Prusslan cav alrymen, and had to run for his life. The Duret cottage was the only one near him, and so, while Marie sat talk ing to her doll, the door was suddenly burst open and the soldier rushed in. Marie knew at once that 1t was Cap tain Charles. for she had often seen him about the village, and as she had heard of his brave deeds in aid of the French she was not in the least frightened.
 "Where canst thou hide me, little

 Marie was the pride of her parents and the heroine of the town when her story was made known. And i'll the depths of the forest, when the franc tireur gathered about their campfire and their leader told of his narrow es- cape and the bravery of the little peas ant girl. each man lifted his canteen and enthusiastically drank to the health md prosperity of Marie Duret.
 The landlady of the little yine-cov cred inn nt BoIs4e~Duc tells this story to every stranger who visits the place. And if one Is lnquisitive enough to ask what afterward became of the franc tireur and the peasant girl she will un- fold her hands and say:
 Just walk up to yonder brick house on the hill and ask for Monsieur le Maire and his good wife. There you will find Captain Charles and the brave Marie. ."-Omaha Bee.

THE GREAT SEAL OF ENGLAND.
What Was Done with the C1d Seal of
 GcorEe ".

The great seal is not allowed to leave the kingdom without special permls- sion. In 1521 Cardinal Wolsey carried the seal into the low countries and sealed writs with 1t at Calais, viola tion of duty which formed cue of the articles of his Impeachment Now adays, if the chancellor leave London the great seal goes with him, and if necessary the travelling sealer attends the chancellor for the purpose of actu- ally applying the seal to documents.
 When the great seal Is to change hands the retiring lord chancellor goes to the queen, attended by his purse bearer, who carries the seal in its purse. The purse Is handed to the queen by the purse bearer, given back to that official by her majesty, and is then handed by the purse bearer to the in- coming chancellor.
 George ". had one seal only, and when William ". succeeded him there was some contention as to the disposal of the pieces of the defaced seal of George. The difficulty came out of the fact that when Williams seal was or dered August i, 1S30,l Lord Lyndhurst was chancellor. but when 1t was fin ished and ready to take the place of George TVS seal August 31. 1S3D Lord Brougham was chancellor.

oner' the man hurriedly asked. "The Prussians are on my track"
 Marie had heard those stories of the Prussians and her heart sank with fear at the thought of facing such monsters. Nevertheless she showed herself q brave little woman. For an instant she glanced helplessly around the room. Truly there were few hiding places In the little cottage. Then her eyes fell on the large baking oven and her busy little brain found q way out of the diff ficulty. She quickly bade the franc tireur get inside the oven and then she filled 1t with the loose faggots.
 Scarcely was her work finished when she heard q. loud knocking on the door and Prussian officer entered. He stopped, abashed, when he saw only the little maid before him. Perhaps the thought of some little girl that he had left behind in the fatherland came to his mind, for the look In his eyes was quite gentle and his voice trembled in spite of himself when he spoke.
 We saw man enter this house just now,' he said Tell me, my little maid. where he is.''
 In the moment while she was walt ing for him to speak Marie had had time to collect her wits and to reflect that the man did not look like such monster after aff. NfUE she replied readily:

 She carefully related to the Prussians how the franctireur had taken the path that led from the rear of the cottage to the forest.
 The girl answered his questions so readily that 1t was hard for the officers to suspect her of deceiving him, but he ordered his men to make a thorough

tireur to burn his cottage as a lesson to him and warning to all others, but Marie's winsome manner had touched the officers heart and the questioner received curt, almost savage "No."
 Marie watched the Prussians ride away, and when they were well out of sight, she let Captain Charles out of his narrow hidding place. He had heard all that passed In the cottage, and he kissed Marie and called her a brave girl. Then he departed by the road opposite to that which the Prus-

 But one fine summer morning Bois-le- Due was startled by sound of martial music and body of Prussian soldiers marched through the town. Up the hill went the Prussians, and there before the old chateau the order to halt was given. The old soldier had seen their coming and had prepared, according to his own Ideas. to receive them. From an upper window waved the colors of France, and as one of the Prussian of ficers started to enter the house, to learn the meaning of this hostile dis play, he was met by the old man, who had dressed himself In hls ancient uni form and stood. sword in hand, in the center of the room.

 The mistake was unfortunate, but the Prussian command could not afford to waste time over n single dead French man. The house was fired; the soldiers marched on. and by the time the rear of the column disappeared over the next hill little but heap of smoking ashes was left on the spot where the old chateau had stood.
 But the boy Charles, standing there beside the ashes of his father, swore to be revengcd upon the PruSSians. From that moment he was man, he had purpose.
 On the afternoon of the day on which the Prussians marched through Bois-le- Due Charles learned from the villagers the whereabouts of the nearest houy of French soldiers, and set off to join them.
