most neglected by the general public refer
10 those among the very poor who are incur
able invalids, needing more heartfelt care
and sympathy than many others who, when
ill, have only poverty to contend with Some
are cripples, others suffer from hip ana spinal
diseases, a large number being children re-
curing special attention They are often left
alone, uncared for, with little to relieve the
monotony and loneliness OF a life spent In the
midst of poverty and wretchedness.
Do you hear the children weeping. on, my
brothers!
Ere tho sorrow comes with years2
They are leaning their young heads against
their mothers,
And that cannot stop their tears.

THE FINAL ACT.

Washington, July SIT was by a cere-
mony of the simplest character that the
resolutions annexing tne Hawaiian ISL
ands to the United States last evening
were enacted finally into law. 1t oc-
CURED in the cabinet room of the exe-
cutive mansion, and only six persons be-
sides President Mckinley were present.
Alonzo S. Stewart, assistant door,
keeper of the senate. arrived at the
White House with the engrossed copy
OF the resolutions signed by Acting
Speaker Payne and Vice President
Hobart. George Il. Cortelyou, assistant
secretary to the president, receipted for
the resolutions in the usual form. and
then notified the president they had ar
rived. The president said simply that
he would sign the resolutions immedi-
ately, and few minutes later the act
became a law.
Senators and representatives who
converseS with the president yester-
day gained the impression that for the
present the government of the islands
would be left largely in the hands OF
President Dole. Under the joint reso-
luton the government, until otherwise
provided by congress. is vested in such
person or persons as the president of the
United States may determine. Besides
President Dole, some other person in
Hawaii and one or more citizens OF the
United States may be selected TO act
with him. 1t Is also expected that the
names of the five commissioners pro-
vided for in the resolution, to recon-
mend necessary legislation for Hawaii,
will be sent to the senate before the ad-
journment of congress-

PHILIPPINE RESOURCES.

American Electrical Apparatus In the
Isiands--Purchases For Manila.
Mr.. L. ID: Hilles of Yokohama, In
recent conversation with rspresenta-
tive of The Electrical Review, gave
number Of interesting facts about the
Philippines.
"Those islands should by all means
remain in the possession Of the United
States," said Mr.. Hilles. "Their COM
mercial possibilities and native re-
sources are almost unboundea. The
sharpest competitors of the Americans
and the Englishmen there are the Ger
mans. Our firm has installed central
electric lighting station in Manila,
which supplies current for ~, 900 in
candescent and 260 arc lights. The ma
chinery is of American manufacture. /
am now making large purchases of
American steam and electrical apparatus
to be installed In the far east, u part OF
which goes to Manila.
There are about 720 miles of tele-
graph in the islands and only 10 miles
Of steam railway. Manila has tele-
phone system equipped with English
instruments. All electrical conductors
are carried ON overhead pole lines with
porcelain insulators. There is also a
horse railway in Manila, which would
have been changed fover to trolley
road had not the war occurred. The
concession for this road has already been
acquired. There is wonderful chance
for. Americans in many industrial un-
dertakings in the Philippines, and /
hope our government will hang on to
them. New York Electrical Review.
