tion on any stage tonight. Mr.. Hackett ap-
peared at the Chestnnt Street theater as

acts and six scenes, and closely follows the
story. Mr.. Hackett scored success. At
the Broad Street theater Mr.. Russell Gre

his unique rank amorg actors. He ap-

Eranco-Italian Relations

ROME, Nov. 2l.-In the chamber O.
deputies today the minister of foreign affairs
Admiral Canevaro, replying to a question
said Italy's right to the port of Raheita, or
the west shore of the straits of Babel Man
deb had never been questioned by anybody
The recent visit of French warship there
and the landing Of French sailors there were
only a momentary stay of the French in the
neghborhood of the Italian posts. But, the
minister continued, the matter had already
been arranged between France and Italy in
the most amicable manner, and Italy re-
mains, as heretofore, in possession of the
coast as far south as Rasdumeira, south OF
which is French territory.

Murder Not Suicidej

OAKLAND, Nov. 2l.-The Developments
in the case of the l5-year-old girl, Lillian
Bmntes, who was found hanging to bed
post IN her home at East Berkeley, con-
firm the suspicion that she was murdered.
Her rather was arrested yesterday on sus-
pieion, and today her stepmother was also
taken to the police station. Both are de-
tanned, pending the result of the coroner's
inquest. The evidence of neighbors is to
the effect that the girl was treated with the
greatest cruelty, and the testimony of six
physicians at the autopsy proved that she
did not die of strangulation, but from the
effect of blows. sN'

GRANuoIs-M JULIEN. At Oak Grove
Wis, July 49, 1898, by Rev. ] H. Black
Mr., James Alexander Granbois and
Miss Agnes Mullen.
1t was perfect day, not a cloud in
the sky 1t seemed specially appropriate
to be wedding day and it was. In Oak
Grove it was beginning to be whispered
that people no longer loved one another
but Cupid had other news for us. The
monotony of life is to be broken by a
wedding festal. accordingly we repaired
to the home of the bride to witness the
nuptials of Miss A. Mullen and Mr.. J. A.
Granbos On arriving we find a number
of relatives and friends already gathered
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the be-
lated preacher After the ceremony the
party was served with ice-cream and
luncheon on the lawn where all seemed
to enjoy the we'll prepared dainties and
took part heartily in the merry-making
of the occasion The hearts of the happy
couple were still more gladdened by the
many useful and valuable gifts from the
friends present which spoke louder than
words the esteem in which both were
held. In the evening they went to River
Falls where they took the morning train
for their home in White Rock, S. D.
The young couple carry with them the
best wishes of relatives, friends and all
who know them for their contin ued hap
piness in their new home. b.

pension Vouchers

The attention of public officials is
called to the following circular relat-
ing to pension vouchers:
Recent investigation had by this
Bureau to ascertain the methods
employed by public officials in eXecut-
ing pension vouchers, has demonstrate
ed an almost total disregard Of the
laws and regulations governing the
subject
1t is clearly evidenced that the
Illegal, lax Indifferent and perfunctory
procedure now extant has become a
menace to the proper and safe conduct
of the affairs of this Bureau, so far as
it relates to the payment of pensions,
and special efforts are contemplated
to correct the existing abuses.
While it is believed that many
officials who assist in the execution of
pension vouchers have no conception
of their criminal liability in the
premises, it is equally certain that
many others to secure an advantage
in the numerical number Of their
clientage, knowingly and wilfully
resort to violations Of the law
To the end that the former class
may profit by this notice, this circular
is issued
There can be no justification in the
prevalent haste and laXity existing in
many offices, by which post-datlng,
false certifcation false claim and
stock" witnesses have become a
factor in the administration and
acknowledgment of pension vouchers.
1t is the intention Of this Bureau,
where the facts warrant such action,
to institute criminal proceedings
against the parties who indulge in
these illegal and irregular practices
and they are warned accordingly.
BY following strictly the instruc-
lions printed on each voucher the
matters complained Of may be entire
ly remedied.

FROM HONOLULU.
Extract from letter of Harry L
Currier, Co a, 18th Regiment,
Minnesota.

HONOLULU. III. l., July g. 1898.
We arrived here yesterday, the 9Th,
at about $50 4. N. 1t was beauti-
ful morning and the green Of the
tropical trees with the mountain
background made one Of the prettiest
pictures l ever saw.
Such a surprised lot of boys as we
were when we commenced to walk
about the town. We had thought Of
Honolulu as half civilized sort Of
place where steamers stopped to coal
We found it perfect paradise. San
Francisco isn't in it for minute l
cannot, by any description, make you
realize the wonderful tropical beauty
Of the grounds, both public and pri-
yate; one must see it to get even a
faint idea The business portion we
found very much like that Of an
American seaport, and indeed, most
Of the business is done by Americans.
1t is very rich city indeed, the rich
est OF Its size in the world. There are
IS millionaires here, and almost all
the foreign population is very well-to-
do Most Of the money has been
made in the sugar trade which at
present is the main industry Of the
islands.
Another thing that surprised US
was the native population They are
not at all like the Negroes. Most Of
them are very intelligent aud many
| handsome Nearly all can read and
write English and all speak it very
we'll Education is compulsory for
those from 6 to Is years of age. The
only Objectionable class are the Chin
csc and japanese, particularly the
former. They seem to be in about the
| same proportion as IN San Francisco.
To-day, the citizens Of Honolulu
| gave dinner upon the capitol
grounds to about 1000 soldiers. They
had tables enough SO that all could
sit down at once 1t was great, | as
sure you, They had almost every
thing Imaginable to eat and drink,
and music served as extra. All the
troops that have passed through have
been fed in the same way. Don t
know how we will ever come down to
ships rations again.
We drill once a day in the after
noon. 1t is pretty hot but our new
duck suits are very light and cool
though they are about as ugly things
as can be imagined-ft about like
a mother hubbard
The spirit among all the intelligent
people is toward annexation and nc
one, who has once been here, would
oppose it for d moment. The place is
| thoroughly American now and one
would scarcely suspect he was out Of
the U. s. The stars and stripes and
the Hawiian flag hang side by side
| everywhere.

Educated men, often from force of
habit rather than want of knowledge,
use words with an erroneous pro-
nunciation, or a misplaced accent.
The words truths and youths nouns in
the plural number, are probably as
often pronounced wrongly as they are
correctly. Many pronounce these
words giving the h the sound it has in
