BUILDER AND sTRENaTHENER.
That is the Term an Ottawa Lady
Applies to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

Among many in Ottawa (Canada)
and the vicinity who have been
benefited one way or another by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
the Journal has learned Of the case
of Mrs. Gilchrist, wife Of Mr.. T. V.
Gilchrist, of Hintonburgh. Mr.
Gilchrist keeps grocery at the
corner OF Fourth Ave. and Cedar
street, and is we'll known to great
many people ih Ottawa as we'll as to
the villagers Of this suburb OF the
Capital. Mrs. Gilchrist states that
while in run down" condition
during the spring of 1897, she was
greatly strengthened and built up
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Speaking Of the matter to a Journal
reporter, she stated that while able
to go about at the time she was far
from well; her blood was poor, she
was subject to headaches, and felt
tired after the slightest exertion.
She had read at different times Of
cures effected by the use OF DIR.
Williams Pink Pills, aud decided to
try them. She was benefited by
the first box and continued their
use until she had taken FIVE boxes,
when she considered herself quite
recovered. Mrs. Gilchrist says that
she always strongly recommends
DR.. Williams Pink Pills as a builder
aud strengthener, when any of her
friends are weak or ailing.
These pills cure not by purging
the system as do ordinary medicines,
but by enrichipg the blood and
streugt thening the nerves. They
cure rheumatism, sciatica, locomotor
ataxia, paralysis, heart troubles,
erysipelas and all forms OF weakness.
Ladies will find them an unrivalled
medicine for all ailments peculiar to
the sex, restoring health and vigor.
There is no other medicine "just as
good" See that the full name, DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
is on every package you buy.

terregnum, the President of the
United States is our legitimate indi-
vidual ruler, governor, and suzer-
ain, an honor, we believe, never
hitherto accorded to any State or
Territory in the American Union,
and one giving most interesting
episode in the history of the gov
ernance of countries controlled by
the popular will.

"The municipal legislation of Ha-
waii except such as was enacted for
the fulfillment OF the treaties be-
tween that country and foreign ma
tons, and except such as is incon-
1istent with the Joint Resolution, or
contrary to the Constitution OF the
United States or to any existing
treaty of the United States, is to
remain in force till the Congress OF
the United States shall otherwise
determine.
"The existing customs relations
Of Hawaii with the United States
and with other couutriea, are to re-
main UNCHANGED till Congress shall
have extended the customs laws and
regulations OF the United States to
the Islands.
"Under these various provisions,
the Government OF the Islands will
proceed without Interruption"

So far as the general alien resi-
dents and those who have enjoyed
under Hawaiian laws species OF
hybrid citizenship are concerned we
hesitate to pronounce an opinion
until Congress has decided the sew
eral delicate and knotty problems
concerned. There are certain we'll
defined rules in International Law
governing citizenship, and yet, with
the consent OF the individual, Con-
gress may decide upon innovations
justifiable by circumstances.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-13

Every Hawaiian citizen by birth
or adoption is to-day as such an
American citizen, and enjoys the
benefits and is subject to the Con-
stitution of the United States, and
is entitled wherever he may be, to
the protection OF the laws and forces
OF the United States and is CORE
spondingly amenable to them.

The sovereignty and public pro-
perty OF the late Republic Of Ha.
waii is now absolutely vested by an
irrevocable act, as Interchangeable as
the workings of the solar system, in
the United States of America, and
that country has entered legally
into possession, and 30 far as we are
advised there is no tangible appeal
from that decision save by the
arbitrament of war or practically
frivolous appeal on technicalities to
the Supreme Court of the United
States; course engendering hostile
feelings with imperative results

BY what technical distinction
these islands are to be known pend
ing the interregnum of the establish
ment of "formal" government un-
der the direction of the Congress OF
the United States we have no official
information and we can gather none
from yesterdays proceedings. The
Hawaiian Islands, U. S. A., is suffi.
cient and the courts and officials
will arrange technicalities Of pro-
cedure by degrees.

THE POSITION OF THE COUNTRY

The INDEPENDENT has been asked
by many of its readers to give its
views on the status of this country
to-day. Our impressions are subject
to correction and further informa.
tion, but they are somewhat to the
following effect:
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-13

The next step in the practical
carrying out of this theory OF Gov
ernment raises the question OF pre-
cedence, which we shall delicately
pass by with the remark that Hon.
Harold M. Sewsll, Ex-U. S. Minister,
is the official representative of the
President and conveys and carries
out his instructions to those special
ly delegated to attend to the actual
functions of government until Con-
gress adopts government for US.

tory as if we had been one Of the

Who then are these gentlemen
selected to rule the Hawaiian ISL
ands on behalf of the President7
That is readily answered.: "In the
exercise of the power conferred by
the joint resolution (the Newland's
resolution adopted by the American
people in Congress assembled) upon
him the President hereby directs
that the civil, judicial, and military
powers in question shall be exercis-
ed by the officers Of the Republic
Of Hawaii, as it existed just prior
to the transfer of sovereignty, sub
ject to his power to remove such
officers and to fill vacancies" 1t is,
howe further provided that the
powers OF the Minister of Foreign
Affairs cease 30 far as they relate
to the conduct of diplomatic inter-
course between Hawaii and foreign
powers.

Of the existing government are to be

We Accept The amepdnent.

Referring to the Thomas radish, and
commenting on our remark that Wa
kulla was stepping to the front in pro-
ducts of the soil, the Tallahasseean
says;
Not stepping" my good brother.
That item referred to u radish over
two feet long. Up here II inches is a
long one. and IL the BRHEzE insists up
on the correctness Of its statement, we
should think II more to the point to
state wakulla is jumping to the front
bound ing to the front, running to the
front, racing to the front, burning the
wind" in front, "out o sight" in front,
or som thing equivalent. Sakes o. live,
none Of us can ever expect TO cath 'er,
and plain stepping" don't half express
It,"
We did not see the Thomas radish,
but those from whom we received our
information will not dropan inch on its
length. In fact Mr., Henry Raker'
whose veracity ranks along side of
George Washingtons famous little
hntchet, comes up this week and as
sures us that Mr.. H. K Eubanks has
now growing in his garden near Craw-
fordyille, radish that is even larger
than the Thomas radish. We will not
give the dimensions of this mammoth
root, lest il drive the agricultural edi-
tor of the esteemed Tallahasseean TO
suicide.
Yes sir, we accept the amendment
offered, and il there are any words to
made it stronger well use them. Wa
kulla is fairly skipping, skating, shoot
ing plunging to the front.
Why Mr. J. J. Lanston has whole
garden full of turnips on the Sopchop.
py river, that are larger around than
dinner plates. The wife OF our worthy
county commissioners, Mr.. Dock Ander-
son, measured one Of the medium sized
and il measured just 22la inches in cir
conference.
There is nothing slack about Wakul-
la county-except its editors pocket

or wakulla's fine mineral springs at
Panacea and the prominent people Wis
ting there the Tallahasseean OF last
week says: THE Panacea Hotel people
have recently been sntertaing some
people prominent in the affairs Of our
National Government. Last week the
Springs were visited by the Hon, b. w.
Murata and family, Of Boston.
Mr.. Murata was CONSUL General to
Australia during the Cleveland ad-
ministration, and has only recently re-
turned I'd this country, having been re-
lieved OF his duties there by his sue
cessor appointed by President Mckin-
ley.
He predicts a great future for the
waters Of these Springs, md says II is

Lost His Horse.

While driving in the lower part Of
the county last Tuesday Mr.. Dock An
dersor,'s horse stumbled and fell. Fail
ing to get up again, he got help and
put il on it's feet, but il could not
stand. The injury seemed to be in the
loins, or some part Of the body. The
animal refused to eat and seemed to be
suffering, and finally had to be killed
to get it out Of its misery. The loss is
very seriously felt by Mr.. A. who is nei-
Their high salaried official nor bloat-
ed bond holder.

Eggs Better Than Fat.

One and half pounds Of pure fat
was taken from a Tallahassee hen last
week and the Tallahasseean says; IF
Col. Mcleod raises fatter chickens
down in wakulla we would like to hear
from him"
Our neighbor seems to forget that
very fat hens don't lay, and have to be-
killed to be worth anything.
It is the laying sort that We raise
down here in Wakulla and the world
can not beat them. SO eggs were
gathered yesterday from Col, McLeods
barn yard, and he is only small chick
Ell raiser In Wakulla, and raises for
home use only.
Every merchant in the county ships
eggs, and every train that leaves Wa
kulla carries eggs. Mr.. +. W. Duyal
shipped lO4 dozen yesterday and lO2
dozen the day before,
The best feature Of the Wakulla hen
is that she lays all winter, when dozen
of her eggs would pay for Tallahassee's
fat hen.

A two year-old hog killed last week
by Col, l.. j. Blalock, a prominent law
yer OF Americas Georgia, according to
the Times-R Recorder, weighed seven
hundred and fifty pounds after being
cleaned, ready to cut up.
Four and five hundred pound hogs
seem to bee too common in that section
to mention in the newspapers since the
no fence law was adopted, but Col X.
Don Mcleod, the farming lawyer Of
Wakulla, who killed q head OF hogs
this season. says he was born and raised
near Americas, and remembers well
when that section Of Georgia used to
raise one hundred and fifty Founders,
with an occasional three hundred
FOUNDER, and the farmers OF those days
then made meat 10 sell and had money
to loan. lie saysit will take at least
Il half dozen Of his WakullR county
hogs to make Ms much meat IA Colonel
Blalock's one, but his half dozen prob
ably cost less than the Georgian's one,

Ex-DIsTRICT ATTORNEY PAGE
Sentenced to Eight Yea1s" Impris-
onment by Judge Wallace.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-James
D. Page, eXDistrict Attorney, thrice
convicted of embezzling a $1,000 estate
belonging to an insane patient whose
guardian he was, was for the second
time sentenced to eight years impris-
onment by Judge Wallace to-day. If
the Supreme Court does not interfere
he will eXpiate his crime in Folsom
State Prison.
After his extradition from New York
Page was tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to eight years Imprisonment
Because. however, of the fact that no
formal demand had been made upon
Page for the return of the money, or
ders of court and citations not appear
ing to count as demands. the case was
sent back for retrial Again Page ap-
peared before jury,an again he was
convicted, but Judge Wallace himself
granted Page a new trial on this oc-
casion. because, although a demand had
been made upon Page since the Su-
preme Court had sent the case back,
it had not been so done as to comply
with the requirements of the law.
