dition of the Spanish army and navy?
AS judge of either arm he is thor
oughly capable, for unlike his father
and grandfather he has trained him
self to understand the navy as well as
the army, whereas his progenitors
were soldiers pure and simple.
There is no doubt that questions
such as these are exercising the brains
of many European politicians and the
move will have considerable consider
alton in Washington, because of its
possible influence upon the peace ne
gotiations.
Of the cleverness and versatility of
the Emperor there is no doubt, of his
earnestness and intense belief in HIM
self and in his mission on earth there
can be no doubt, of his strong relig-
ious bias he has shown the world a
specimen i'm his visit to Jerusalem out
of which he has hoped to create feel
ing in Germany which would unite
the Earring Protestant sects-which by
the way he has not realized-but with
all these attributes it is possible to
make mistake.
The Emperor William thoroughly
understands the different nations of
Europe. what he does not understand
and what no European in a million
understands, is America. 1t is an I'M
solved problem. a new element, and in
dealing with it the lines laid down
for dealing with European govern
ments will not answer, and if he has
gone to Spain to NEEDLE in the nego-
tiations he may make a political mis-
take, though he might make a polti-
cal success. but it is a venture.
One thing the Emperor must be
given credit for, and that is courage,
1t is no light thing for a monarch to
enter Spain, although he may
be well guarded. Guards dc
not prevent assassination, as witness
the fate of Alexander of Russia and OF
President Carnot Spain is full of an
archists, especially in the southern
part. This class of gentry is pretty
desperate now, especially after the Sc
we're measures taken against them af
ter the murder of the Empress of Aus
tria, and to bring down an Emperor
would suit them admirably.
Altogether the outcome of the EN-
! peror's Spanish visit will be watched
with interest.

concerned, and only awaits
formal declaration of peace by

The Nicaragua Canal Syndicate now
seems to be ready to go to work. A
canal through the Isthmus would be
of the greatest commercial benefit to
these Islands, besides being of enor-
mour benefit to the Eastern manu-
facturers, who would thus get a much
larger slice of the trade in the Orient
than they can at present. There APP
pears to be every likelihood of race
in canals. if the information is true
that the French company is working
upon the Panama canal. Competition
is always a good thing.

Thanksgiving day was success.
tended and the sermons delivered were
heartfelt and impressive. The vari-
Gus feasts given to the soldiers proved
a thorough success and a general air
of good feeling seemed to pervade the
city and environs.
1t was very fortunate the day was
fine, one cannot always count on the
weather in the month of November,
but it proved a truly delightful day
and our sea girt shores and tree clad
mountains looked their very best.
Honolulu must have indicated its
character for generosity in the eyes
of it's critics, for certainly there was
no lack of public hospitality and
there was much private hospitality
shown both to officers and enlisted
men in the way of taking them into
many a home circle.
There is one thing to be said, the
last impression of Honolulu that the
New Workers will have will be pleas
ant one and there are some among
them who would like to remain here
and settle.
Probably the least said the soonest
mended is a good proverb. There have
evidently been misunderstanding on
both sides, but Thanksgiving day has
done what many Thanksgiving day
has done before, healed the unneces-
sary breach. How many sundered
family ties have been bound up
again, how many broken friendships
healed by the genial feeling engen-
dered by the Thanksgiving time. The
feasting is merely the outward sign
of the inward hearty feeling So
Thanksgiving has done its duty.

THE SPANISH VISIT.

The Emperor Williams visit to

have deep significance to many con-

gante says, "Que lie diable allait-il
faire dams cette galere?" what is he
poking his nose into that business for.
Has he gone to give his personal adj
vice TO the Queen Regent to yield at
once? Has he gone to strengthen the
back bone of the ministry and make
them firm in refusal? Has he gone to
personally inform himself of the con-

The line of twenty-five soldiers
graves at the mauka side of the Nuu-
anu cemetery is a very melancholy
sight, and is a commentary upon
some ones incompetence or upon mis-
management in some way. We can
not but reflect upon the fact that
many of these ought not to have died.

ALASKA REFRIGERATORS,

which admittedly have no
superiors. They are here in
all sizes, from the small one
for the family Of two, up to
the large size suitable for
hotels and boarding houses.
There is one feature we desire
to call particular attention to
in the
Alaska Refrigerator.
It is lined with mineral wool
and has an air chamber be-
tween this and the inside
lining, thus insuring economy
in the amount of ice required
to suchl an extent that the
saving in the cost of ice will,
in a short time, pay for the
refrigerator.
THAT is ECONOr1Y.
For those who are satisfied
with less fancy receptical,

Cnamberlain,s Cough Remedy.

This remedy is intended espe-
cially for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, Group and influenza. 1t has
become famous for its cures of these
diseases, over a large part OF the
civilized world: The most fatter-
ing testimonials have been received
giving accounts of its good works;
of the aggravating and persistent
coughs it has cured; of severe colds
that have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of the danger
Gus attacks of Group it has cured,
often saving the life of the child.
The extensive use of it for whoop-
ing cough has shown that it robs
that disease of all dangerous conse-
ouences. 1t is especially priced by
mothers for their children, as it
never fails to effect a speedy cure,
and because they have found that
there iss.the least danger in giving
it, as it contains nothing injurious.

Different ReaSorHs

In a little New Hampshire village
there lives an old lady who has such a
sweet spirit of kindliness toward all the
world that she is unable to comprehend
the entire lack of that spirit in some
other people.
Not long ago one Of her granddaugh-
tiers, gay young city girl, was paying
her a visit and one day told her OF a
ragged and intoxicated man when she
had seen on the street just before leaV'
ing home. -.
81 can t bear to pass man like that, "
she said vehemently at the end OF her
story.
II know just how tits, dear, said
the old lady, laying one of her soft,
wrinkled hands on the girls head. 1T
does seem as if you'd got to stop and
speak with the poor creatures just a
minute, doesn't it? I never can bear to
pass em by without word. 1t doesn't
seem human.
The gay little granddaughter was
quite disturbed by this misinterpTeta-
ton of her words, but she did not un-
deceive her grandmother as to her mean
ing. For some reason she felt ashamed.

three small Iniun sand proudcers.
At Richie Mines, where some
oil is now being found, and where
coal has been mined for the past
thirty years, phenomenal discove-
ry has been made. The hill, CT
mountain, where this coal exists,
seems to have hs11-- 5:: : t-c:.,
top to bottom by some volcanic dis
turbance, and the vacuum or crevice
thus made is now filled with solidi-
fed petroleum.
This is considered by exper-
fenced men as being remarkable,
and does not exist at any other
point.
Another peculiar feature of this
county is the great depth of the
lime. In Tyler county and the sur
rounding Sistersville field the lime
varies in thickness from 80 to so
feet and in most instances it is found
to be nearer to the former figures,
but in Richie county in many
places the lime stone is found to be
no feet thick; while another feat
ure may be mentioned that is de-
parture from regular Ipjun forrla-
ton is the shallownesss of the oil
bearing rock. While the lime is
much thicker the Injun and Keener
sands are very thin.
What at the present time would
seem to be the most important pool
ever found within the limits of
Richie county is the Whiskey run
development opened during the
month of January by Mallory Bros.
& Barnsdall on Whiskey run.
This find is located about two
miles west OF G. H. Nesbit's wells
drilled some four or FIVE years ago,
and apparently is of much greater
magnitude.
Up to the present time four wells
have been completed in the Keener
sand and every one has proved to b
a gusher of the first water. While
they cover very little territory it
may be said that a rich deposit III
that locality exists. 1t will be rap
idly developed and short lived
pool can now be safely predicted.
All things considered, Richie
county has not been a money
maker, but on the other hand, has
been to date the source of big loss
to the majority of operators who
have been persistently seeking for
the didden treasure in that county.
1t may be said that the new Whis-
key run pool stands out now i'll bold
relief and is making very strong
promise of being "Ritchie's re-
deemer."
