Out in Kalihi, two Hawaiian
women rescued young Chinese girl,
who was being dragged away by two
men, dressed in the honored uni
form of the United States army.
They only allowed the poor terri
fed girl to escape, when the brave
and courageous women dubbed
them into submission.
At the residence of a very pro-
minent Hawaiian in Manoa Valley, a
squad of soldiers made their appear
ance. The proprietor was in his
Office in the Executive building.
His wife and children were calling
on their friends in town, and only a
young niece Of the proprietor was at
home. She was game however. The
soldiers demanded pineapples She
told them to go to the vegetable
gardens, as there were no fruits for
sale at the residence of her uncle
They said that they preferred to
stay where they were, and that they
would camp there as long as they
pleased. The girl told them that, If
they didn't clear out at once, she
would telephone for her uncle, and
they would be made to go. The
brave stand Of the little girl cowed
them and the men, dressed in the
glorious uniform of Uncle Sam,
sneaked out, When the girl was
asked by her uncle later on,-"What
would you have done il they had

FOR SALE By X. B. Frazer.

In his sermon on Sunday, Rev. w. l..
S. Murray, who was formerly Presiding
Elder of this district, said in part "When
the ringing bells announced the protocol
had been signed many sung Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow The
Psalmist said Sod made the Assyran war
to cease by destroying their munitions of
war-He breaketh the bow--mice were
sent at night and cut the bow strings so
they could not shoot the the Israelites.
Who has not heard of the poor gunnery of
the Spaniards -they could not shoot Was
this because the Spaniards were not well
trained or because greater light and intelli
gence characterized our soldiers and sailors
"If from greater light and intelligence, has
not God given the victory. Has He not
broken the bow again and caused the war
to cease? He also in ancient Israel broke
the spear and rendered this midable
weapon useless against His people. Again
He burneth the chariot in the fire. As
fearful then as the battleship now. SO has
God, in my Judgment, through His agent,
burned the fleets Of Spain and given us the
victory. God has made war to cease by
influencing the minds of the leaders of this
nation and also of Spain to agree to quit.
This, we believe, is in answer 70 prayer.
God causeth wars to cease and has brought
us peace with victory. How different with
Spain-peace to them, but the peace of the
vanquished.'

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? Ths most admirable and at
tractive thing about woman is her
womanliness. Everybody admres a
womanly woman. She must have health,
OF course, because without it che would

of her cheeks and her yvacity. Real
health must mean that woman is really a
woman. That she is strong and perfect in
a sexual way, as well as in every other.
That she is capable of performing perfectly

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK, March S.-Opening prices
in today's stock market reflected general
improvement in speculative conditions ad-
vances varying from Il to 5 per cent pre-
vailing throughout the active list. London
prices were about up TO our closing level
and the foreign speculative attitude was
seemingly favorable to Improvement. Eu-
ropean purchasers of American securities
are willing to follow rather than to retard
any movement originating on this side
Rumors were, in a measure, eliminated
from the early trading. and the market
was given brief respite. in which to DEM
onstrate its elasticity. Pressure alone can
keep prices from seeking a gradually high
er level.
Until the end Of the noon hour the buy
ing Of the general list was decidedly SUI
perior to the selling. the short interest be-
ing literally represented in the movement
Early in the afternoon prices began to feel
the effects of rumors relative to further
purchases of war ships by Spain and a re-
ported attack on the American consulate at
Havana.
This latter report was made much of by
the always credulous room element. The
market receded sharply and for time was
completely diverted from Its early morning
course. The ease with which prices de-
clined was taken to Indicate an absence OF
demand at higher prices and confirms the
theory that the present market offers few
Inducements to the general public.
The prompt appropriation of funds by
Congress was favordbiy construed, and for
time led to the opinion that a complete
preparation for war would decrease meas
urabiy the probabilities OF war. This con-
hdence served only 10 steady prices and did
not inspire buying by outside sources.
The market is feverish. and while subject
to the natural rallies due to an ovcrsold
condition, is not likely to permanently
change the present level for q better one.
n proper regard for facts in no way con-
nected with Cuba should limit liquidation,
and this is the favorable feature of the
market which meets with unanimous in
dorsement.
From day to day new scares are likely 10

Rejoicing Among the Citizens.
The action Of the Senats today in retain.
ing the provision for low telephone rates III
the District appropriation bill caused great
rejoicing among the citizens of the Dis
trict who had not confidently expected such
good fortune. The general qualification
was the more pronounced in view OF the
fact that the Senate's action lay In the di-
rection of retaining the House provision
intact instead of amending it or substitute
ing for it another proposition. BY reason
of this state Of the case the item Will not
be the subject for further amendment In
conference. The restriction as to telephone
rates will stand precisely as all other mat
tiers adjusted by the House and untouched
by the Senate, and cannot therefore be dis
cussed in any way by the conferees on the
appropriation bill.
Further expressions of gratitude were
heard on the score that the provision fol-
low rates, ranging from $50 to SO per an
mum according to the number OF lnstru-
ments on wire without regard to the dis
lance from central or the difference be-
tween business or residential usss, will by
its terms take effect Immediately upon the
passage Of the appropriation bill.
