near Montrose, in Susquehanna coun-
ty, and planned revenge-to burn the
college buildings one by one, that the
students might be accused. They would
resent it. In the uproar the president
would be forced to resign as unfit to
manage a great institution.

showed lighted gaspipe into the pile,

The lack Of oxygen smothered the con-

Phillipsburg. Stephens thought his
mission had failed, but was awakened
at the break Of day by the glare of the
burning building.
He went to New York, returned in a
week, visited the ruins, chuckling over
the desolation. His deviltry had prov

The Emperor William.

One of the most unique figures in
European politics is Emperor William
of Germany When he fist took the
throne it was prophesied hat dire dis
aster would bpfall him and his empire.
Since that time all his eccshtric,ties
have been held up to public ridicule,
but the fact remains that he took hold
of newly formed empire, an empire
composed of almost AS many d,scordant
elements as is the Austrian empire, aud
that he has not only held these dis
cordant clements together, but that
during his reign the empire has made
steady advancement in power aud
wealth, both at home and abroad
The reign of William would be in
tolerable in America, but We must Judge
him not by American but by European
standards. The present emperor was
at the commencement OF his reign COM
pletely overshadowed by the memory
of his illustrious grandfather, and the
beloved Unser Fritz, and by the great
figure OF the Fuerst Won Bismarck.
1t was noted at once that the new
emperor was FESTIVE under the lauda-
tions bestowed upon his predecessors
and the iron Chancellor. This was
ascribed to petty personal jealousy, but
1t may be better judgment to say that
William understood that in order to
rule over such an empire, the personal
element must be strongly felt. He
must be THE emperor; not to crafty
personal vanity, but in order that his
mandates might be obeyed.
Thus in less than half century
Germany has risen from mass Ut
loosely confederated kingdoms and
principallties and dukedoms, to one OF
the strongest central governments OF
the old World. If it requires man OF
strength to be president of the United
States and to deal with governors and
senators, what must it require to be
emperor of Germany and have to deal
with kings and princes and potentates
of equal lineage and equal pride as him
self. We are not hero worshipping, We
are cognizant OF the emperors weak.
nesses. We know that he is un-Ameri
can but we also know that he has done
for Germany what none but man OF
strength and character could have &C
complished.

A Timely Warning.

The REVIEW has been warned that
Colonel Economy Wright is after us;
that he IS desperate because the Re-
VIEW has told the truth about his sal
airy grab, and is seeking for gore.
We have accordingly doubled our
accident insurance and have sent to
the navy department for one of the
Oregon's 10 inch guns to carry around
with us for protection.
We wonder if Colonel Economy
thought for a minute that the REVIEW
would allow this salary grab to pass
unnoticed? We wonder if he thought
we had SO little regard for the tax-pay-
ers as to allow these things to go on
without telling them about it?
We do not intend to prosecute the
Colonel, but we do intend to tell the
truth about him. So long as he keeps
his record clear he has nothing to fear.
He accepted the nomin alton, know.
ing what the salary of the Office was.
He went through the county preaching
economy-and then before he had filed
his official bond, before yhe knew from
experience what amount of labor the
office involved, he calmly asked the
board to raise his salary to an extent
which will cost the county from $500
to $3.50 additional ever year. 1t is much
easier to raise a salary than to cut it
dowp and the chances are this extra
expense will be saddled on the county
for all time to come.
OF course it is a small matter, only
$3.50 year more for the people to pay,
but unless someone makes the facts
known who can tell where this sort of
economy will stop. Let Colonel Econo-
my do the right thing, let him tell the
board that he will be satisfied with the

GREAT BENEFIT CONCERT.
HOW HONOLULU SUPPORTED THE
CHARITY MUSICALE.
Ample Funds for the Molokai Piano
a Program That All Enioyed--Lead-
ing Features.

The concert for the piano for the
Girls home at the settlement took
| place last evening. About 500 people
enjoyed 1t. There was represented in
Progress hall on the occasion the
best people of the city, and the most
ardent lovers of good music were
out.
Wray Taylor, who was most indefat-
igable in working up the financial and
general features of the entertainment,
otlicated as director and stage mana
ger. He was assisted by w. Horace

orchestra.
! The orchestra presented three love-

was Queen of the Isle and another

trcmely creditable to Mr.. Taylor
and all members of the orchestra.

| for the first time before a Honolulu
audience as a vocalist. His selection
was Bartlett's dreams" The least
| that can be said is that he captured
the house. He has a fine. sweet voice
and clear intonation.
Mrs. Mabel Chamberlain Mead offer
ed Musin's "Valse de Concert" writ
ten by the great violinist for his own
use. The reproduction was the plau-

! sponded with a second violin selec-
| ton. Mrs II. {. Austin presented a
vocal solo and was well received
Miss Cartwright's reading was a
feature of the evening. Her selection
was "a Set of Turquoise" by r. b.

ing. Few people could have attempt
ed, single handed, its Interpretation.
During the fifteen minutes taken to
produce it whisper could have been
heard all over the house. Miss Cart

and impressive.
The next feature was a vocal solo
by Miss Rilla Nolte. with Mrs. Brown
as accompanist. Tosti's could T.
was the selection. Miss Nolte has
never appeared to better advantage.
There was a general call for a re-
peat, but the popular vocalist had
slipped away.

encored. The young man responded
with another selection. Alex. st. NJ.

Sundermann's Striking Play was
Again Given Last Night.

There was small attendance at the
opera house last night to see Magda.
The cast was the same as on the OPP

produced.
Mckee Rankin was very careless in
the presentation of Schwartz, forget

tirely forgot the apopleptic trembling

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SEVERED.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Answer.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy only
the better, so that while our profits
may be smaller on a single sale they
will be much greater in the aggre-
gate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are Ger.
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass Judgment on them
and use the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for wears
and have found that it can always be
depended upon. They may occasional.
ly take up some fashionable novelty

but are certain to return to the

liable, and for coughs, colds and GROUP
