VALUABLE TALK.
Sound Address By p. c. Jones to
Young Men.

There were present last evening
about half "a hundred young men to
hear the talk which Mr.. P. C. Jones had
been prevailed upon to give the Y. M.
G. A. Educational classes. He made a
solid, sound, practical address of 40
minutes and held the very closest at
tention of his audience. Mr.. Jones,
without saying anything of himself,
gave the boys the benefit of the obser-
vations of successful man who has
been in active business life a great
many years and who worked his way
upward from the bottom rung of the
ladder by industry and application. He
urged the young man to be earnest, to
be faithful, to persevere, to read with
discrimination, to. be careful, to be fru-
gal in expenditures, yet to be generous
to the less fortunate. Mr.. Jones told Of
the careers of many successful men OF
this and other communities and point
ed out what he considered the secret of
their advancement. In conclusion he
presented a plea for a life in eXempli-
fication of the Saviour, holding that
all men should acknowledge God. The
talk made a decided impression and
covered vast amount of ground, CIV
ing hints and advice which will be
valuable to all who were present.

DOING BUSINESS
Both Senate and House Take Up
Work.
SEVERAL BILLS PROPOSED
Organizations Completed - House
Speaker and Committees-Oue
tions and Some Discussions.

The three appropriation acts pre-
sented to the Senate yesterday call for
a total expenditure for the period of
$4,O91, 1858. Of this amount SIT 7,144.-
6S in for the payment of claims, un-
paid bills and salaries due prior to
December 81, 1897. This includes gen.
eral amounts due various Government
departments, and special accounts, the
claim Of the CA. A. S. line for trans
porting Cranstoun, Mueller and John
ston in February, 1895, the claim of
Charles Dunwell and the claims in the
case of the Japanese immigrant ship
Kinai Maru.
Bills were introduced in the House
looking to certain needed charges in
the Judiciary. The Acting President
outlined some of these changes in his
message, especially that of reducing in
some way the number of appeal cases
from the District to the Circuit Court.
Under existing laws, Circuit Court bus
mess of Importance is hindered by
frivolous appeal cases. Many attorneys
are in favor of changing in some way
the present term time plan, under
which much business is crowded into a
short space of time The proposed
changes are sure to be thoroughly dis
cussed.

SENATE.
Second Day, February IL.

DCCOIu LAY, Ii.
Rev. G. L. Pearson, the new Chaplain
of the Senate, opened the session with
prayer Thursday morning. He. then
took the oath of office, as did George
Campton, the new sergeant-at-arms.
Three members were absent at the call
of the roll. Senator Waterhouse and
Lyman were appointed to notify the
President that the Senate was ready
for business. They reported that Act
ing President Cooper had no communi-
cation other than his message. Minis
ter Damon presented both the English
and Hawaiian versions of the message
and copies of the English version were
distributed to the members.
President Wilder read a communica-
tion from the Clerk of the Judiciary
transmitting from Chief Justice Judd
the first portion of his report with
the announcement that the remainder
was still in the hands of the printer.
Minister Damon presented the report
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. No
translation into Hawaiian accompani-
ed the acts making appropriations for
salaries, for the payment of claims and
making appropriations for department.
al work The acts were simply read
by title.
Minister Damon asked that the SEN
ate rule be suspended in the case Of
a bill making appropriation for ex-
penses and a bill for new school
houses. He explained their purport.
The first asks for an appropriation OF
$4,000 to defray the expenses of the
present session. The money was need
ed at intervals during the session and
there should be sufficient funds to meet
the requirements.
The second bill calls for an appro-
priation Of $4,000 for the erection OF
school houses throughout the Repub-
lie. Provision is made that the amount
shall be placed in the treasury on
special depsoit, subject to the order OF
the Minister of Public Instruction
Both bills were sent to the printing
committee with instructions to follow
the usual method in regard to print
ing or typewriting the bills.
Upon motion of Senator Holstein ii
was ordered that copies of the revised
civil and penal laws be furnished each
member of the Senate. The introduc-
ton of the resolution was because ot
Mr.. Holstein's belief that in the dis
cussion Of new measures it was essen
| tial that a full knowledge of existing
acts should be had.
There was considerable discussion a;
| to whether Or not the Senate should
employ typewriter TO prepare bills
for presentation to the Senate. 1t wa!
| the consensus of opinion that the
granting of permission to the House
to have a portion of the time Of the
| typewriter, as was the case at the las
session, resulted in depriving the Sen
| ate of the use of the typewriter to ;
greater or less extent. The discussion
ended in the presenting of resolution
by Senator McCandless, which wa
passed, authorizing the Printing Com

Siye Association,

A number of the foremost and best
known young men of the Chinese CO.
lony, most of them occupying respon-

The play opens in the library Of Mr..
Bertrams country house, he, having
just returned with his daughter and
neice from town.
The two girls are very much bored
with the dullness of the country life,
so welcome with keen pleasure the ar
rival Of two young gentlemen. One,
the son of an old friend of Mr.. Bert
rams, John Dunstan, and with him his
friend Renginald Vivian. The former
has money while the latter is in a
chronic state of impecunioSity.
1t is the desire of the two fathers
that John Dunstan and Dora Bertram
should marry one another. 1t is with
this object in view that the young man
is coming, bringing with him his friend
Reginald Vivian. The two young men
change names as do the young ladies.
This naturally leads to complications.
The mischievous character of Sylvia is
thus brought out very clearly while
the gentler one of Dora acts as an eX-
cellent foil Mary, the old and trusted
servant of the family acts the part of
the faithful aide to the girls.

note, her immediate acceptance Of the
invitation and her arrival in the house

faint hope that she might one day be
Mrs Crawley.

he said: My long experience as a
cavalry officer constitutes me a Judge
Of cavalry service. The Second Resi-
ment United States Volunteer cavalry
is composed Of as fine a body of men
and good a lot of horses as | have ever

In reply to an inquiry as to the disci-

spoke as follows: 1T was always ex-
cellent. The character of the men Sc
cured this result. The spirit was never

treated with the slightest disrespect
by any member of the regiment"
In referring to the Laramie troop in
the regiment he spoke as follows:
Both officers and men were a credit
to the regiment and the state. Captain
George r. Stanton, Lieutenant Morgan
F. knadler and Lieutenant William J.
Abrams were all competent officers and
good men. If we had seen action there

16 to l proposition which Mr.. Corthell
condemns as a conspiracy against the
workingmen OF the nation.
From information picked ,p here at
the capital the conclusion is reached
that the state will elect the entire re-
publican ticket by majorities ranging
from 1000 to 1000. The counties north
Of the Union Pacific will give the repub-
licar ticket 900, Unita will probably
give the democratic ticket 200, Sweet
wate:' will be about evenly divided, Car
bon will give 200 for the republican
ticket. Albany will give 300 for the re-
publican ticket and Laramie from 300
to 500 for the republican ticket. The
state ticket is in mind in making this
guess. In Albany county, where the
republicans have a very strong county
ticket and the democrats a very weak
one, it is entirely probable that the
county ticket will poll a larger majority
than the state ticket.

is not in good taste for Osborne to in
suit these patriotic members of the
medical profession who volunteered
their services in behalf of their coun-
try. 1t is net their fault hat he was
left behind. When the people of Wyo-
ming heard thai the doctor had ten
dered his services TO the government,
they regarded the act as one of Os-
bcrne's grand stand plays to get his
name in the papers and they have not
changed their minds yet. 1t is entirely
