Removal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Senatol
Faulkner is now confident that Mrs.
Kenna will continue indefinitely as
postmistress at Charleston. He has
made pretty careful poll of the SEN
ate, and finds that four-fifths of the
Senators are opposed to superseding
Mrs. Kenna and would vote to re-
ject Petty's nomination if it came
before them. 1t is not improbable
that a petition may be sent to the
President, signed by large number
of Senators, requesting the with
drawal of Petty's name.

Last Banquet Of ShaTpSl0OtGTS as
a Company.
NOTABLE GATHERING SPEECHES
Addresses BY Mr.. SewaH, President
ture of New Hawaii.

The Fist Company of SharpshoOters
held its mastering out banquet last
night and the affair was in every way
worthy the ancient and honorable or
ganizatiOn. Progress hall had been Sc
cured and had been prettily prepared
for the dinner The place was in a
flood of light, there was music by a
Hawaiian quintette club. The canvas
was on the floor and the ventilation
was something in the line of comfort
seldom vouched here on similar occa-
sions. Chapman was the caterer and
made his portion of the event genuine

There were four tables. These were
three in a row and one at the head.
The presiding officer of the evening
was Capt F. S. Dodge, who has for
two terms been at the head of the or
ganization The more prominent
guests, besides members of the COM
mand and infantry and engineer Of
ficers from the garrison were: Presi-

American Consul Haywood, Attorney

Capt Dodge was POSTMASTER. He
said that the company had been organ
lied on the 18th of April, 1898, at a
time when the Provisional Government
needed the support of all loyal cit
izens. The command had responded at
all times to the fullest limit of its ca
pacity in every direction. When the
Republic of Hawaii was proclaimed on
the Fourth of July, 1894, every member
of the First Company of SharpshOOters
transferred fealty to the new form of
Government succeeding the Provision
al. At this time, since annexation had
been achieved and the assurance was
plain that the affairs of the country
were in a settled condition and in a
state not likely to be disturbed by in
ternal influence, it was felt that the
Company Of SharpshOOters was no
longer necessary. It had asked that

The Man Who Walks Like Bear.

It's very large world that we're living in,
 with room and enough to waste; And there's there nothing at all to prevent man from liking what's to his taste. Some turn to battle and its alarms for the
 music that suits them best Their muses wait on the potentate, the man with the kingly crest, And they give us fables in forms austere,
 you trouble bit and sigh When you realize the terrific things that
 their nlenacing words imply; I'd rather skip all the statesmanship when
 the prophets exclaim "Beware!' And turn with relief to Tommy's Dad, the
 man who walks like bear. A small, curly-headed fellow, he runs every
 night to greet The father whose step he can recognize a
 half block up the street. And both are bit worldweary with the
 troubes of the day; Each welcomes the chum as he sees him
 come for the evenings 'customed play. It's after tea that the fun you'll see, as, crouching upon all fours, This beast which in vain Tommys tried to
 train stalks viciously round and roars, And the sofa pillows are none too fine to
 fashion a fitting lair In the library, for Tommy's Dad, the man
 who walks like bear And it's sweet to feel mid the clang of
 steel and the murmuring threats of
 strife
 That the man who will may he happy still
 in quiet and placid life. It is pleasant to stray far, far away from
 the motives that broil and mix, For, after all, there's a lot in life besides
 fighting and politics. Afar from marbles and stately walls dwells
 the simple average man, Yet he and his kind, make the keystone in
 the arch of the nations plan. So let's take time for a simple rhyme, 1t
 isn't so much to dare, h fp Tnnmy's II

canal water-power of the State and it's increase incident to the drainage canal The trustees backed down from their claim of control over any part of that interest, and the injunction obtained by the State on August 15, stopping the work of canal construction, has been vacated. This delay of three months will add about $4OO,OOO of office expenses and interest to the $27, 900 already expended on this great sanitary proj- ect. 1t is promised now that the chan nel will be completed in the course of a year. It does not follow, however that it will be in actual use as soon as that. Before the water can be let in there must be an expert to determine whether the provisions of the law relating to the construction of the channel have been compiled with in good faith, and whether the volume of water required has been provided.

Chicago is agitated by complaints of evils in it's taxation system and there is talk of the adoption of the St. Paul system of assessment. This system seems to have merit. It is claimed for it that it comes nearer giving the actual cash value of all the realty than any other. An assessment is had every two years. The city is divided into districts, and in each district the services of a vol unteer commission are secured. These district commissions are composed of property-owner and experts in values who know the value of property in their respective districts. The commission takes each block at time and sets a value for one lot on each of the streets that bound the block under considera- tion. The value on each other lot iii the block is then determined by mathemat- ical ratio, and the commission notes it's valuation, together with the legal de- scription of every piece of property in the block, upon the assessors pats. Af- ter the commission turns over it's work the assessor sends out his deputies, who take the plots and make their own val uation on each lot. The property-owner is then required to schedule his proper ty at what he considers it's fair selling price, and thus the Board of Assessors has three estimates on which to base it's valuation. It is argued that no prop erty-owner can have a very just cause for complaint, because his valuation is based on a mathematical proportion to the valuation of every other lot in the same block, and, under the system, if the Board of Assessors decides to in- crease or lower any of the figures, the other lots in the same block are propor- tionately increased or diminished. After the value of the lot is fixed, or while it is being fixed, the deputy assessors bring in a complete description of the im- provements on the property, and the board has the services of a special com- mittee of contractors and architects. who determine as nearly as possible the value of the Improvements thereon. The improvements are in turn compared with the owners schedule, and the dis crepancies, as a rule, are easily settled

1894, to March, 1898, the mortality rate was only 15.9 per cent. In all the Ber- lin hospitals in the four years from 1890 to 1893 inclusive, with S,0S0 diph- theretic admissions, there were S,106 deaths, or 38,4 per cent. Whereas in the four years of antitoxin treatment, from 1894 to 1897 inclusive, with 1O,O26 admis- sions, there were only 1,S23 deaths, or 1892 per cent. In London the records of the Metropolitan hospital show that antitoxin has almost banished death in those cases treated with it on the first day of the disease. Where the percent age of deaths was 22.5 under the old fashioned treatment in 1894 it decreased to 1175 in 1895, to AZ in 1896 and van ished in 1S97 It is worthy of remark in this connection that the probability that the treatment was not always on the first day in these cases makes the figures all the more striking in favor of antitoxin. Tie decrease of mortality in all cases of diphtheria in the Metro politan hospital, irrespective of the day of admission, was from 29.6 per cent. in 1894 to 17.5 per cent. in 1897.
 These are encouraging facts. The Chicago health department has fostered the use of antitoxin by all the agencies at it's disposal, and it is said that 1t has worked we'll in that city.

THE GRIP.

The merry Christmas time will not be as merry as it might be in this re- zion if the grip doesn't let go. Doc tors say the present epidemic of the although it is pretty general. They do not tell us what causes the grip. Per- haps they are so busy raking in shek- els for doctoring it that they haven't time, and perhaps they don't really know. Possibly when they have told us all about malaria they will tell us about the grip. Meanwhile those who have it can tell each other about 1t, and 1t will furnish them enough to talk about for awhile. It can cut some very curious and unpleasant capers with the human frame. It grabs it's victims with great suddenness and it grips them with pow CT and persistency. The demon of dis ease which we read about in the patent medicine advertisements is a very mild characterization of the grip.
 We have noticed one strange effect of the devllish sickness which we have not seen mentioned in any medical publi- cation. That is the fact that it makes some good United States people de- scribe themselves as having ia grippe" And we have even heard two people de- scribe themselves as having ''the la grippe"

fireplace and smoked our pipes while the woman cleared up the supper dish- es. The evening passed pleasantly, and about o'clock observed the wo- man prepare three of the children for bed, after which she tucked them into the only bedstead in the house. They went off to sleep presently, and then the woman carefully removed them from the bed and sa them up against the wall close to the fireplace, after which she put the three remaining children to bed in the same manner. I began to catch onto the game by this time, and it tickled me half to death. By and by the last three children went off to the land of nod, and they, too, were carefully removed to a place along the wall. Then turning to me the good people told me I was to occu- py the bed for the night, and that it was ready for me whenever I say fit to turn in.
 Naturally, I protested against talk ing the only bed in the house, and de- clared that I could sit in chair and sleep as we'll as not, but no amount of protest could move these hospitable people, and at last reluctantly turned in, leaving my host and hostess nod ding by the open fire. I never slept sounder in my life. I had been made dead tired by the long walk of the day before and the soft bed was very seductive. I did not wake until day was breaking, and then encountered the most astonishing thing I ever met with in my life"
 What was it?" chorussed the boys who had been listening to Steve's en- trancing story.

These overlay the white cloth that finished the skirt The bodice was velvet from belt to bust line and there were points corresponding with those on the skirt and white cloth yoke. The velvet of bodice and skirt seemed to be continuous. No arrangement of color, material or line could tend more to sug gest and emphasize slender curves.
 A design of skirt that Is much worn and that is usually very becoming to tall women Is presented to-day by the artist. It was made of sage green cash mere and was trimmed with three flounces, a fourth fiounce at the hips be- ing attached to the bodice's long basque. The novelty of this dress lay In the revers, which were beige cloth strapped in trellis fashion with folds of the dress goods.
 The castor glove comes in many shades of gray and brown. It is suta- ble for outing costumes for heavy wear. There is a glove that looks a good deal like the castor, is softer to the touch, and comes in dull mode brown. These are high class, are not castor but are antelope skin. They cost about twice as much as the castor. They last a long time, 'give" without losing their shape, and one salesgirl assured the writer that they never need cleaning because they only Took better as they get darker" Those who do not like to wear soiled gloves even though they do Hook better" should stick to the easy white ooze glove.
