chiefess has found since her return
to Hawaii that the love Of her people

the sincerest interest in her welfare
OF sll residents, and commands
their deepest respect. The young
Princess has met much sorrow and
grief during the past years of her
young career In wishing her many
happy returns OF her natal day,
The INDEPENDENT voices the senti-
meuts Of the Hawaiian nation, who
to. morrow will pray that her future
days will be as bright and happy as

THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

Several contemporaries have re-
Gently expressed their regrets that
no one has been looking. after the
poor dumb animals, since the de-
parture from the Islands of the
special agent of the Humane So
ciety, Miss Helen Wilder. When
the young lady, whose energy and
interest in animals has gained her
the admiration of the community,
left for visit to the mainland, Mr.
S Carr, the well-known veterinary
physician, was appointed spe-
cial police officer and detailed to
look after "cruelty to animal" Dr.
Carr has done good work, and has
watched the interest of the animals
here as on the other islands, which
he has visited several times at his
own expense. The Humane So
ciety seems to have gone into de-
cline and no one seems to take an
interest in keeping it alive. The
authorities, through the police an
doing as effective work as has ever
been done, but the force has some.
thing else to do besides examining
the hoofs and backs Of every jackass
or mare. If the good people really
desire to protect the dumb animals
from unnecessary pain and cruelty
they should contribute sufficient
money to pay competent man to
devote some of his time in the inter.
est of the Society. 1t cannot be ex-
pected, that DIR. Carr or any other
veterinary can spend too much time
looking out for 'cruelty" without
compensation, especially when it j:
remembered that the late Daddy
Green received handsome salary
as agent for the Society. 1t is the
Society that is to be blamed for the
apparent lack OF vigilance and not
the officers OF the police, who, when
ever occasion has arisen have done
their duty in suppressing cruelty tc
animals.

There can be only one opinion in
regard to the behaviour OF the sol
diers stationed at Honolulu, and
that is that they act like perfect
gentlemen, and that most garrison
towns in Europe and America would
envy Honolulu on the experience
gained here. Soldiers have marched
around the islands, and not a word
of complaint has reached the city
from the people, through whose
country they were marching, and
among whom they were. camping.
The company of engineers stationed
al the Peninsula are praised in the
same manner. Mr.. j. w. Chapman,
who runs the hotel near Raymond
Grove, speaks in the highest terms
about the Pearl City garrison. Mr..
Chapman, who has seen service in
Zulu, Egypt, Kaffir land, and acted
az steward for the commissariat de-
partment Of the Hawaiian army
since 1898, knows soldier when he
sees him, and the ways and habits

they return to their homes, can reci-

1t seems rather peculiar that the

have to wait little longer before
going into effect. Two months ago
the Stars and Stripes went up over

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity matter of Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
''DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrh9a. /

confused. Before using your remedies
1 never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that I never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me Of leucorrhna. / hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia 3. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department OF
her great business, treating by letter
as many as q hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn.

Amanda P. Austin has commenced

George H. Wilcoxson, executor of the
will and estate Of Jefferson Wilcoxson.
deceased, through her attorneys, Grove
L. Johnson and J. M. Fulweiler.
The complaint is an interesting one,
and recites that Jefferson Wilcoxson
was the uncle by. blood of PLAINTIFF 8
mother. making him her grand-uncle:
that she resided in July, 1879, in Mis-
souri, with her parents, being about 20
years old, and was completing her ed
ucation and studying art, with the in
tention of becoming an artist by pro-
fession.
She further states that Mr.. Wilcox
son correspondent by letter with her and
her parents, desiring her to come and
keep house for him and care for him
in his old age, nurse and watch over
him in his sickness, and when he need
ed care and attention, and in his let
tiers he promised that if she would do
SO he would treat her as his own child
and provide for her well while he
lived, and that, at his death, she should
be amply compensated for all her sac
rifices and care. She accepted his Of
fers, and acting upon his promises,
came to Sacramento in 1879 and en-
tered upon her duties.
| She alleges that she continued in such
employment, caring for Mr. Wilcoxson
nursing him when he was sick and
ministering faithfully to his wants as
If he were her father, and at his wish
and request she remained single and
unmarried up to the time Of his death
| in 1898, faithfully performing all her
duties according to the contract. She
further alleges that from time to time
he renewed his promises, himself fixing
| her compensation, to be paid in event
of his death, at not less than SloO,OOO,
and at times as high as $3.50 900.
| She claims that at his death he left
will; that he left $4,000 in money
in his safe, besides other property
worth 100000, and that previously he
| had distributed among his other rela-
tives, by deed of gift, over S1,2OOOOO,
! but had given her nothing, and that,
as she is informed and believes, that
the $4,000 in the safe was set apart
and intended for the payment of her
claim for services under conditions OF
the contract.
| She states that she presented a claim
to the executor of $4,000 which he
neither allowed nor rejected, and that
subsequently she presented claim for
$4,000 as a just and reasonable
amount for her services and sacrifices;
that he has neither accepted nor re-
| jected the latter claim, and she now
asks that judgment be granted her
against defendant, as executor of the
estate, for $4,000, with interest from
August 3, 1898. and costs.

Of Mr.. Cleveland's political family ana
a Bryanite, says it is not necessary
to consult the people of any tract we
acquire, and he points to- the history OF
all our ACQUISITIONS to show that we
never have consulted them.
Representative Burke, a strong
Bryanite, a Texan of pronounced apli-
ity, says the American flag never has
been pulled down where 1T has once
been raised and it never shall be. by
the lamp of experience the path Tor
his feet shall be lighted, and In all the

PATRIOTISM VS.. >9ARTIsANsHIP

Hon. c. c. Garrett lis Chief Justice
of Texas and a Demdcrat, but he is
above and beyond his PARTY in enlight-
ened views and general wisdom. In
the late State convention of his party
Judge Garrett made ona of the most
powerful Of speeches against the reso-
buttons opposing the anti-tmperial pol
icy, so called. In the courAe Of his elo-
quent and patriotic delivery Chief JUS
tice Garrett said:
VIII a petty spirit of opposition to the
Republican party cause Democrats to
forsake the principles that have guided
them for nearly a century, lrepudiate
their glorious past, and sell the birth
right Of the party for the chance Of
some advantage over the opposition?
viii they remain a party Of progress
and administration, or will they drop
into a faction of simple opposition, the
inglorious witnesses of grand achieve
ments they will be powerless to pre-
vent? They should as pa
triots help the dominant party to guide
their common country in the present
crisis to a glorious and honorable adj
justment of the questions growing out
of the present war.
There is in that kind Of talk the spirit
that arouses the admiration and claims
the applause of all square men whose
love of country rises superior to ale
glance to party and desire for the
loaves and fishes. Unhappily it is too
little manifest in political organizations
of every stripe, and in none is it more
conspicuous bys'its absence than among
the Democracy.
The manifestations of the organiza-
ton this year nearly all have in view
party advanta ge first and country next,
and are distinguished by overmaster-
ing desire for the offices and the dis
tribution Of plumber. By fusion and
amalgamatb3n and amy old thing of
that stripe, the party is proving to the
country that it cares less for principle
and dignity than it does for partisan
success.
