AT AMERICAN LEGATION.
Official Reception to Diplomatic
and Consular Corps.

The reception given by American
Minister Harold NJ. SewalI at noon
yesterday at his Waikiki home, diff
fered from the elaborate function of
July 4th, 1897, to wnIcn the public
generally was invited. That of yes
terday was of a purely official nature.
and only members of the diplomatic
and consular corps were present.
The reception was of a very simple
character but attended with consfd-
cradle dignity. There was a feeling
with many that perhaps it was the last
Fourth of July reception which an Am
erican Minister would give in Hawaii.
Minister Sewall received from u to
l o'clock During that hour the entire
diplomatic corps and nearly every
member of the consular corps was pre-
scented. Mrs. SewalI did not assist in
receiving. The Government band
furnished by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, was in attendance.
The chief executive and the entire
cabinet was there; President Dole,
Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper,
Minister of Finance Damon, Minister
of the Interior King and Attorney
General Smith.
II. l. J. M Minister Resident Shin
amura, Charge d'Affaires Canavarro of
Portugal, Acting British Commissioner
Kenny, NJ. Louis VOssiOn, French COM
missioner and Consul General, repre-
sented the diplomatic. Nearly every
member of the Consular corps and the
officers of the National Guard of Ha-
wall were present.
The American warships in port were
represented by seven officers from the
Monadnock, four from the Mohican
and two from the Nero.
Light refreshments were served dur
ing the reception.

There was a large and efficient orches-

decorated for the occasion. A large
number of small boats were provided
for those who wished TO go out upon

one and many enjoyed boating on the
moon-lit waves. The hall was crowded
from early in the evening till a very
late hour

Rev. Father Conrady.
Diocesan Magazine.)

The Rev. Father Conrady, for many
years at Kalawao, is now studying
medicine and surgery in Portland with
a view of deyoting the rest Of his life
to the relief of the miserable lepers in
China He writes: Il want to teach
the Chinese pagans an object lesson
of Christianity. AS a man [ really
dread to establish myself among them.
The difficulties are many, but [ have
confidence that with Gods help and
that of generous people, I will sue
ceed." The condition Of these lepers
is wretched in the extreme. They live
in graveyards, in dirty small houses
that have a door and no window. No
soap. no medicine, no bandages are
found among them. Their allowance
from the government is one cent daily
for food. The Father hopes to COM
pIete his studies in 1900, and then pay
a visit to England and Norway to ap-
peal for aid in his mission before set
ting his face towards the rising sun.

THURSDAY, JULY 2l, 1898.

An object lesson to the world IS the manner in which the S2OO, ,0OO, ,0OO of war bonds have been absorbed by the people. Many times over the total amount was the large subscription, r1s- ing to nearly one billion and half This is perhaps the largest over-sub- scription ever noted. The other nota- ble fact is that this er-subscription enables the small bidders to get the bonds, but most of the little bidders are doubtless such as have in good faith asked for few of the governments se- curities at per cent. knowing that they will speedily go to premium and thus in part recompence them for the loss in interest from the exchange of their in. yestments. There are about 250. .000 people who have subscribed for these bonds and the average amount allotted is about $500. The list for subscribers for these bonds was closed July l4 at three o'clock and the last bid was for $1OO, 100000, one half of them, by a New York syndicate

A BIG FIRE


 The handsome residence of Mrs F. P. Miles was burned to tbe ground early last Friday morning. The Wm. Seely family of Bridgeport rented the house for the summer and occupied it at the time of the fire. Henry Van Rensaler, a colored man who has worked for the Miles family several years, discovered the building on fire at the rear end when he came to build the kitchen fire as was his custom. He at once gave the alarm and the inmates were rescued with difficulty, several of them were nearly suffocated. Fire alarm bells were rung and soon the hose company came and had stream of water on the burning building but the fire had already gained such headway that one stream of water could not control 1t. Mir w. O. Witter, who is neighbor of Mrs Miles, shout ed Sire" through his megsphone and reused the neighbors, who at once came and assisted Mrs Seeley in rescuing her children and many of her valuables The hose company worked like beavers and large number of people were on hand and helped. They saved many of the household goods. The building was valued at S12, 900, so it is reported, and was insured by the N. A. McNeil Go. for S6,500, and the furniture for S1,SO0. The origin of the fire is un- known.

FLAGGED IN TIME.

Flagman Th0s. MeVeigh, of Manches-
 ter, Ct., Heeds a Signal and Averts
 What Might Have Been a Catastro-
 trophe.
 Time and again the good people of Manchester have been warned about the ingoing and outgoing of trains, on 8 ore than one level crossing of the N. Y. < N. E R. R. during the many years that Mir McVeigh has carried a danger flag for the said company. Any pedestrian who was rash enough to ig- nore the watchman's signals, either met with an accident or was so badly scared that the lesson taught made an impress ion for life. Perhaps from being too long accustomed to seeing his fellow citizens obeying his instructions, Mir McVeigh was quicker to respond to the warning given to him by that inward monitor which never chides without cause, Be that as it may. one thing is certain, if he had not needed the eau. tion he would have still been a sufferer, and we may safely say he would con. tinue to suffer. But Doan's Kidney Pills are never appealed to in vain; .he sequel of Mir McVeigh's experience proves this. He says: T think 1t was four or five years that my back pained me and I had soreness across my kid. neys which came on in spells and was very painful. Sharp stitches caught me in the back at times and then again it would be dull gnawing aching which clung right to me. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and was induced to procure a box at a drug store. I soon found they were helping me and finally the lameness. aching and other symptoms entirely disappeared. I have felt we'll ever since taking them Doan's Kidney Pills are fine remedy for kidney troubles and I can highly recommend them.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers-price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster-Milburn Go, Buffalo, N. r., sole agents for the United States.
