TIE CABLE BILL IS SAFE
RUNS THE GAUNTLET IN THE
HOUSE.
Has Now Passed Second Reading and
Third Reading is Set for Thursday
Senate has Acted.

The cable bill has made its fight
in the House and has won. 1t passed
second reading this morning after a
debate and through proposed amend
ments which practically decide its
fate as a winning measure.
Representative Atkinson for the
Committee on Foreign Affairs report
ed favorably on it, as well as on SEN
ate Bill No. 25, which simply harmo-
nizes the present law with the cable
bill.
= The committee in it's report says:
"These Islands need cable; it is
the most necessary institution outside
of a sturdy population and an exuber-
ent soil that we can have for the gen.
eral welfare. Your committee has
considered the possible misuse of "a
franchise which might result from
hasty legislation upon so important a
matter. The Legislature has not been
hasty. Your committee finds that
previous efforts have been made in
this line, but that they have proved
abortive. 1t feels that every effort
should be made to obtain a cable, at
the same time it feels that no one
for the sake of present advantages
should wreck future prospects. But
your committee, upon the most cars
full and thorough investigation, can
not see where present advantages can
possibly wreck future prospects. The
bill under consideration does not give
an exclusive franchise between these
Islands and the United States. The
exclusive franchise is only asked for
between these Islands and Japan, and
the stations between these Islands
and Japan are confined above the
tenth north parallel of latitude, and
the length of time is but twenty
years. The penalties for commencing
the line and forfeiture of privilege
are ample"
Representative Achi offered an
amendment striking out the words
Pacific Cable Company and giving the
franchise to the first company secur-
ing franchise from the United
States. Minister Cooper offered an
amendment of similar import. This
was opposed by Representative Rob-
ertson. Other members spoke strong
ly in favor of the bill as it stood. The
amendments were voted down and the
bill passed. The third reading was
set for Thursday.

WHOOPING COUGH.

I had little boy who was nearly
dead from an attack of whooping
cough. Ny neighbors recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. l did
not think that any medicine would
help him, but after giving him few
doses of that remedy | noticed an inn
provement, and one bottle cured him
entirely. 1t is the best cough medi-
cine | ever had in the house,. L..

IN THE SENATE

Senate Bill No. Al, to regulate the
importation and sale of opium, came
up for third reading. Several amend
ments were made to it, One of them,
referring to the registration of smok-
ers, was made to read as follows:
provided however that it shall not
be lawful to enroll upon said list the
name of any minor nor any person
not already accustomed to the use of
or to smoke opium
During the discussion of the bill,
Minister Damon protested against
the passage of any measure for the IL
censing of opium. In taking this
stand he said he was supporting views
contrary to those of other members
of the Cabinet, but was acting upon
the dictates of his conscience. The
principles of, the Republic at the time
of its inception were Numerically
opposed to opium licenses, and the at
tempt of the reigning Queen to pass
an opium bill was one of the chief
factors in bringing about the over
throw of the monarchy.
Attorney General Smith replied that
the bill, in place of licensing the ev-
lis attending the importation. sale and
use of opium was distinctly measure
to curb such.
Senator Brown denied that the Opt
um bill had anything to do with the
overthrow of the monarchy, stating
that that contention came up long af-
ter the revolution. The attempt of the
queen to promulgate a new constitu-
tion caused the revolution.
After discussion lasting until noon,
during which amendments were Of
fered and referred to committees. fur
ther consideration of the bill was de-
ferred to tomorrow.
Senator kepoika was granted leave
of absence for one week.
Senator Brown called meeting OF
the opium committee for o'clock to-
dav.
Conference with the House commit
tee on the cemetery bill was allowed.

EARLY CLOSING.

There is a movement among the
clerks looking to the early closing of
the stores during the hot months of
June, July and August. They claim
that many of them are out at the
beach and that it takes them almost
an hour to reach home after leaving
their desks. They also believe that
they can put in a good days work
from o'clock in the morning until
o'clock in the afternoon, with a half
hour for lunch

On the Right Track.

A Denver philanth Vpic inventor
has come to the rescue Of stay out
lates wi tn an illuminated keyhole.
The man who returns home after a
late supper @at the club" has only to
push button by the side of the lock,
when the keyhole is at once illumin in
ated by elect richly. All that remains
for him to do is to insert the key,
turn it, and enter the house. Still,
the device is incomplete, for there is
no illumination for the button. and
the man who has partaken too copi-
ously Of picked salmon may exper.
fence as much difficulty in finding
the button as in finding the key
hole. Nevertheless, it is step in the
right direction according to the Bos-
ton Herald, which says, now if some
body will invent staircase that will
not creak when one ascends it., even
without boots, late o night, another
advance will be made toward insur-
ing the peace and happiness OF the

The largest fruit farm in the world
Is in Jamaica. The largest fruit
plantations in that island are owueI
and operated By an American com

and the other 10000 acres are held by
them under lease Their principal
crops are bananas and cocoa nuts,
and last year they shipped three
million punches of bananas and five
million cocoa nuts, besides other
fruits, to A merica and elsewhere, EN-
.ploy'ng twelve steamers belonging
to the company. Near Olden, ON the
Ozark mountains, in sou hern Mis-.
souri,, there is one Of the largest and
finest fruit farms in the world. 1t

Pok'ng Fun Mt Rhode Island

The. New York Sun poles fun at.the
baby state i'm this wise:
When one begins to tell story, if
one Is on train, the story is likely to
be finished In another State. When
woman puts out clothes line she
has to be careful lest one end Of it is
tied in another county.
When a man says he lives in Rhode
Island he is not often asked where.
There are only few towns where he
could live, and if he doesn't live in
town he must live close to one. .
Some of the one railroad towns are
80 close toge der that sometimes the
locomotive will be at one station
while the rear car Of the train will BIO
at the other.
1t the atmosphere 10 clear and ,one
can get up few hundred feet one
can see most of the State in whate YER
direction one looks.
II baby runs away he is apt to get
into. another county before he stops
If he is good runner
IL one goes from Providence. for
instance, to Boston, one gets to Bos-

You can stand in yonr own yard in

ABOUT TREE Rim S.
Correctness OF the Theory That They
Denote Age Proved.

Although forestry experts in Eu-
rope for more than century have held
the theory of determining the age of
tree by the ring markings to be abso-
lately reliable, many attempts have
been made in this country to disprove
it. To give its official support to the
theory the forestry division of the de-
partment of agriculture has just is
sued pamphlet on ''The Annual Ring"
These yearly rings, in addition to be-
ing sufficiently we'll defined TO be read
ily counted, are alternately bands of
lighter and darker colors, the former
being the "sping wood" as it is Known
to forestry experts, while the latter is
the summer wood" The rings IN a
tree grown in a park or under general
~ favorable conditions are in marked
contrast to those in trees which were
hampered when young-so marked, in
deed, as to readily be noticed. In width
the rigs vary from one-eighth inch to
three-eighths inch in hardwoods to
from one-twentieth inch to one-eighth
inch in conifers.
In the determination of the age of n
tree or Of a particular section it is de-
sirablc to make a clean. smooth cut;
and in trees like poplar and willow and
even in birch, it is most corvcricnt to
cut out the particular cross section and
allow it to dry before the COUNTING is
attempted. In many woods, if OF thrift"
growth, clean saw cut is sufIicicn! ar

Indispensable, while with .extraor-
binary specimens even compound mi
croscope will be needed.
