The Red Cross.

They too have heard the drum-beat,
They follow the bugle's call.
These who are swift with pity
on fields where brave men fall.
When the battle boom is silent,
And the echoing thunder dies.
They haste to the plain red sodden
With the blood of sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with crimson sign.
Pledges of a great compassion
And the rifted heart divine.
That once for mans redemption
Knew earth's completest loss.
These TO the field of valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And so they follow the bugle,
And heed the drum-beats call.
But their errand is one OF pity
They succor the men who fall,

LAFAYETTE MEMORIAL

An effort is now making through the
schools of America to collect funds to
erect a suitable monument at the neg
lected grave of General Lafayette, to
be unveiled on United States Day, July
4, 1900, at the Paris Exposition. In
accordance with the general plan,
principals and teachers of all schools
of Hawaii. both public and private,
are most earnestly requested to recog-
nize October 10Th, the anniversary of
the elimination of his services to
America in the fall of Yorktown, as
Lafayette Day." devoting a part of
the time to a relation of historic
events pertaining to him and the early
days of the Republic. In the higher
grades an appropriate program of eX-
ercises is suggested. On this occa-
sion contributions of from one cent
upward should be secured from as
large a number of pupils and friends
as is reasonably possible, to the end
that Hawaii may show a general and
generous interest in this historical
monument and the historical events
which it is to commemorate.
Moneys will be received and for
warded by the undersigned.

STOPS ANOTHER RUNAWAY.
Frank Ferreira Distinguishes Himself
Once More.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
runaway horse and brake came
dashing along King street. Frank
Ferreira, the assistant hack inspector,
whose success in stopping runaway
teams is matter of notoriety. was in
Hobron's drug store and heard the
racket made. He rushed out to the
street just in time to grab the run
away horse by the bride as it passed.
He took the rig to the station house
and shortly afterwards the owner. a
Japanese named Yosimura, appeared.
lie was promptly arrested, for on eN-
animation the runaway horse i'm the
station house yard had shown that the
animal was unfit to be driven. having
very bad sore shoulder. \ charge OF
cruelty to animals was entered against
him.

ScrOfuIa Sores

Neighbors Could Not Bear to Look
Upon Her-A Grand, Complete
Cure by Hoods Sarsaparilia
After Others Failed.
"I was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this,
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful ana
soon became great running sores. My
face looked so bad that some OF my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but I
feared this would irritate the sore ana
make it worse. SO
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, urged me to try It.
Finally / was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time l saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralgia in my head was better. In few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone
I have never had any symptom of scrofula
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affection. The neuralgia is also cured.''

General Greene and Staff Also Re
turn--No Trouble with Aguinaldo.

SAN FRANSCICO, September %
The steamer China, from Hongkong
and Ndgasaki, arrived here today.
The China showed a clean bill of
health and was allowed to come to
the dock. General Merritt did not
come, but Brigadier General Greene
and staff were on board.
Among the passengers were Filipo
Tgoncillo and Jose Lopez, who are GO
ing to Washington as the representa-
tives of Aguinaldo. After short stay
at Washington the two men will pro-
coed to Paris to attend the meeting of
the peace commission.
Among other passengers on the ship
were Brigadier General Greene and
staff, Adiutant General Babcock and
Murat Halstead. Brigadier General
Greene says he was not recalled for
any particular reason that he knows
of. With reference to the report that
he was recalled owing to the action
of conducting an Illegal courtmartial
at sea, General Greene says the cases
were tried according TO General Otis
order Speaking of the situation at
Manila, Brigadier General Greene ex-
presses the opinion that there will be
no trouble with Aguinaldo, but he de-
clined to go into details.

Owingsville outlook. [volume] (Owingsville, Ky.) 1879-192?, 1898-12-22

Cot. WN. J. BRYAN has begun his
promised talk on the question of i'm
perialism. Col. Bryan's views suit
The OUTLOOK better than anything
he has uttered since the tariff re-
form speech in Congress that first
made him nationally prominent. He
takes the position that the Peace
Treaty should be ratified by the
Senale-manifestly a sound posi-
tion, because its rejection could do
no good now-and that Congress
should provide for the establish
ment of stable government in the
Philippines. as is the declared policy
with regard to Cuba also the same
for Porto Rico unless the people by
a fair election choose the island to
become a territory of the United
States. He quotes the Declaration
of Independence that governments
gain their just powers from the
consent of the governed" in sup
port OF his ideas, but thinks the
character and uncivilized state of
the inhabitants of the Philippines
unfit them for either present or
ultimate citizenship in the United
States, and the annexation of the
islands is unwise on that account.
While President Mckinley's views
are not positively known it Is con-
jectured by some correspondents
that such a solution of the prob
lens brought by the war would not
be unsatisfactory to him.
