The residents of Salisbury, North Ca- naan and vicinity were greatly sArpris- ed and sad,]en-d last Friday afternoon to learn of the sudden death Of Mrs Dwight Allyn who was stricken that day with paralysis while at the dinner table in her home about one mile east of Chspiuville.

Mir and Mrs Horace Landon, of Salisbury, arrived at the Allyn homestead to spend the day in visiting Mir and Mrs Allyn. As soon as all were seated at the dinner table, Mrs Allyn poured the ccffee, but immediate ly her entire right side became paralyz- ed She was removed to lounge but she quickly became unconscious. Dr Bi-sell, of Lakevi.le, was immediately sun moned by telephone. He arrived promptly but Mrs Allyn was beyond human aid. During the afternoon she suffered two more strokes of paralysis, and died about 5 o'clock without re- gaming consciousness.

Sane Advice to Young Artists-

Don't give in" was about the gist of what Sir Wyke Bayliss said to the English art students in lecture at the South Kensington museum He told them what ought to be their watchword
 Do not believe, he said. in the in- sidious lie that the devil is always whispering to the soul of the artist that the golden age of art is past and that what was done yesterday cannot be done today. for art is ill it's decadence Such an assertion was the danger of the time, and he would have them track 1t to its source and kill it there. It had two forms-despondency and tempta- tion-but be urged them not to be in- fiuenced by either Let their study be based upon knowledge, the knowledge that had accumulated during the ages and was formulated in what was known as academic training, and let their knowledge in turn be based upon their own study
 Certainly that is the best of advice, tor what has been done before esa bs doas again

THE GARRISON ARRIVES.
The Charles Nelson Brings tho New
York Volunteers.

About 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon the five whistles gave the
alarm OF the approach of another
transport, which turned out to be
the S. S. Charles Nelson, having on
board the First Regiment, New
York Volunteers, Company G, third
battalion of the same regiment, and
70 engineers, in all about 567 men
and their officers.
The tug Eleu left the wharf at 5
O'Clock with Attorney General w.
.. Smith, Geo. w. Smith, chairman
OF the Citizens Committee, Col.
Fisher, Capt. Paul Smith, several
members OF the General Committee
OF Reception and few ladies to
welcome the incoming guests. The
band was engaged at Waikiki and
consequently did not participate in
the function. On meeting the
steamer off Waikiki the tug whistled
welcome, responded to by the
Boys in Blue with hearty cheers.
The small gathering on the COM
mitttee boat made up by lusty
cheering the absence Of numbers
and music and greetings continued
until the steamer was safely docked
alongside the Oceanic wharf.
This excursion was memorable
as being the first one to greet the
in-comers with their and our own
flag, the Stars and Stripes.
On being tied up a fussilade of
pineapples, bananas and other fruit
commenced and was hotly main
tanned. 1t was soon seen that the
boys were good on "fyers"
A few minutes after 6 o'clock Col.
Barber and his staff arrived and
went on board. His popularity was
proved by the enthusiastic cheers
which rolled upon his appearance.
He undoubtedly is the idol of his
men, sure guarantee that they are
stalwart aud true. Shore leave was
granted promptly and the first i'm
preston of our garrison troops is a
very favorable one.
To-day they make a temporary
encampment at Waikiki in the vicin-
ity Of Kapiolani Park.

PRINCE BISMARCK.

Bismarck is NO more. A man
loved by few, feared by many and
admired by all has passed away.
The Iron Chancellor who never SUBJ
mitted to any Master on Earth had
responded to the call which all
mortals must obey. A grand figure
in modern history has dropped out
from the ranks of the living and the
historians will now begin to analyz-
ing the life work of the great states
man abusing and praising him in
turns and finally clothing his name
in the garb of historical myth.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-15

between Austria and Prussia was ar
ranged by Bismarck, and in 1866 the
war ended, resulting in the loss to
Denmark OF the three duchies men,
toned. When the day of the divi-
sion OF the spoils came Austria
learned that Bismarck was playing
a game for higher stakes, and in
1866 the war between Australian
over aud other German principali-
les on one side, and Prussia and
Italy on the other, was commenced,
which, after brief struggle, ended
in the defeat OF Austria and her
allies. Bismarck, besides expanding
the territory of his native country,
gained for Prussia the supremacy
OF all the North G German principali-
ties. Through skillful diplomatic
maneuvering he provoked the war
with France in 1870, which ended in
a crushing defeat of that country,
the downfall of the Napoleonic re-
gime and the erection Of the Ger
man Empire with the King of Prus-
sia as Emperor.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-15

Bismarck had gained his point
aud his ambition should have been
satisfied. But it was no easy matter
to keep together the many different
races, classes, and interests, of which
the German Empire is composed.
Through his implacable determina-
tion he defeated the Catholic ele-
ment, the Jews, and, on the point
of the bayonet, the socialists.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-15

Unrelentless, unscrupulous, un-
reasonable at times, was the man
who commanded the respect of the
world through his undying love of
his country and his unflinching de-
termination to build up a united
Germany and make Prussia the
commanding center Of the powers
of Europe.
