CLASSES Us As PIRATES.

Spain Asserts That Letters of Mnrque are
No Protection.
A semi-oflicial note just issued at
Madrid asserts that Spain will not
issue letters of marque and will treat
all vessels holding letters of marque
issued by America as pirates and not
as privateers.
Spain will utilize numerous mer-
camille fleet as auxiliary and will exer-
else the right of search, both by regu-
lar and the auxiliary warships, and the
government reserves liberty as to the
question of coal being contraband.

Craving EnrlY Rhnbnrh.

Rhubarb, or, as it is more common
ly called, "pie plant" is very rank
feeder. II is made much earlier in the
open ground by the old-fashioned
practice of putting barrel over the
plant with both heads gone, SO soon
as the snow is Off the ground in the
spring. 1t need not be done earlier
than this, though the practice of some
is to put the barrel over tho pie plant
in the fall, and All 1t with manure, and
bank manure around the barrel so as
to keep the soil from freezing. In
truth, the more the ground freezes
over and around the pie plant the bet
ter it will be for its spring growth.
The freezing makes the soil mellow
and open to the air, and the soil
warns up much more quickly. AS for
the loss Of the manure teaching, it is
not likely that this amounts to much,
~ the manure being inside and out
side the barrel is much moro likely to
freeze through than to ferment. II
the manure is composted and q little
Of the best-rotted parts are dissolved
in water, and this applied inside the
barrel, the forcing of the rhubarb will
be much greater. The sun shining in
10 the barrel all day will warm up the
soil much more than q little manure
could do. At night the barrel should
be covered with boards to retain part
Of the heat deposited by the SUMS
rays during the day.

A Chicago paper complains That
$50, OOO 900 worth Of property in that

The great lakes furnish for 1897 q
marvellous tale of sturdy vessels and
careful seamanship, for not one single
passenger was lost during the year.
OF Lake Michigan, the ''Stormy
Water" Of the Indian, is the tale
especially marvellous, for the Chicago
lines alone carried half million pas

MIX Fever In Cows.

II is very important as the COW
approaches farrowing time that the
COW should be given laxative food 80
as to keep her digestion good, and
yet not such as will unduly stimulate
the milk glands. There is great
difference in cows in this respect.
Some will, as il is said, "sping bag"
two or three weeks before the calf
comes. Such cows will require to be
MIXED twice o day from the time the
milk begins to come. The milk will
not be disable at this time, either for
food or butter making, but it may be
fed TO hogs, taking care not give IL
TO any that are with pig, rs it may
cause them TO lose their litter.
II there are young growing pigs it
will be excellent for them. The
greatest care should be taken TO ex-
extract oil milk from the udder. Par
tial milking at this period allows
the milk to become clotted in the
udder, and this makes it hard, and all
the worse because this increases the
fever and is usually the cause Of it.
IL these directions are followed there
will be no danger of caked bag or milk
fever, which is, we think, its usual Sc
quence. Should there be any fever,
causing the COW to become constipated,
few ears OF corn fed whole will set
the bowels right again and insure an
easy delivery Of the calf.-Amorican

While it is the purpose Of the war
department to secure only National
Guardsmen as far as possible under
the first call for volunteers, yet in
states where there are no National
Guard, or where the number falls be-
low the quota fixed in the call, the
states will be expected to supply the
volunteers regardless of their lack Of
organization. In fact, this must be
done under the law.
On the basis of the call for 125, 900
men the southern states will be called
upon to supply the following number

pleted the job L was taken with severe
pains in my back. Having heard some

Of Doans Bachache Kidney Pills, my
wife purchased a box at a nearby drug

much helped from the first, and few
doses relieved me from all suffering.
I had had trouble from this source be-
fore and had used various remedies,
but none gave me relief so quickly and
thoroughly as these pills. The trouble
had experienced in getting out OF bed
and Strengthening up after bending

Honolulu and has every appearance
of being a half-caste Hawaiian. It is
possible that he is a brother of Mrs

fully fearless chap. The night before
the battle ct Wounded Knee between
the Indians of the Sioux tribes and
Col. FOrsyth's command, Gruard was
in the camps of the ghost dancers for
hours. Because he urged them to ac-
cept peace and give up their arms he
was threatened with assassination
many times and that he escaped alive
was considered a marvel.

FOR HER FATHER.
Mrs. R. M. Bell Making a
Search in Honolulu.
Was Taken from Here to the Coast
When a Young ChlId-Grew
Up in a Convent,

Mrs. R. NJ. Bell, of San Diego, Cal,
is at the Queen hotel This lady is q
half Hawaiian, with a history most
romantic if not altogether sad. Strange
as it may seem she is here looking for
a father and mother whom she has not
seen nor heard of since she was a
babe in arms.
Mrs. Bell is now Il years of age.
Her early life was spent in a Catholic
convent in Southern California. OF
her antecedents she knew absolutely
nothing. She married at San Fran
cisco and ten years ago moved to San
Diego to live. Her husband is a bus
mess man there.
After waiting so long Mrs. Bell three
years ago undertook trip to the con-
vent in which she was educated, for
the express purpose of learning some
thing concerning her history. She de-
manded the information and received
what there was TO give.
The Sisters told here that her father
had brought her there when she was
a babe scarcely two years of age, and
had provided for her education. He
then went away never to return. Her
fathers name was Benjamin r. Cru
ard, an American of French descent,
then a Mormon missionary at some
point near Honolulu in the Hawaiian
Islands Her mother. the Sisters said,
was native Hawaiian but whether
alive at the time or not they were un-
able to say. There was something
said about a stepmOther who was
cruel but the Sisters could not re-
member what it was.
Mrs. Bell returned home and for
three years has broOded over her
strange history. Was her father still
alive? The Sisters thought he had re-
turned to Honolulu. Might she not
have brothers or sisters in the Pacific
Islands. She resolved to find out. She
came down by the Alameda last week
and has since been searching dill
gently for some traces of her lost p9O-
pie Senator WaterhOuse is looking
up the records at Laie, and other Ka-
maainas appealed to are trying to re-
member something of Gruard.
Mrs Bell spoke somewhat hope
lessly Of the matter when seen tat the
Queen last night. Still she is deter
mined, and has money and leisure to
follow up her search. She relies
great deal upon old residents for the
information required.
That Mrs. Bell is part Hawaiian is
readily to be seen. No one here would
fail to note the strong resemblance to
Hawaiian ladies at first sight. In that
part of her story she was undoubtedly
correctly informed.

army is Frank Gruard, who is we'll

Jerry Nolan Injured Seriously.

Jerry Nolan, who has worked on No. D
machine of the International Paper com
panv for several years, met with serious
accident about 80 Sunday morning. 1t
is supposed that he was trying to stop the
press rolls of the machine, and, as is the
custom, he took a heavy bar to stick
through between the spokes of the two
driving wheels in order to stop it as quick
ly as possible.
The bar has been used there for long
time, and no one ever met with an accident
with it before, but this time, for some rea-
son. it did not catch in the opposite driving
wheel and it came round with the wheel
and struck Mr.. Nolan on the back OF the
head as he was rising from STOPPING posi-
ton. He was rendered unconscious and
was taken to DR.. Rudden's office, where he
was attended by Drs. Ridden and Hill. 1t
was thought for several hours that he would
not recover, but Sunday evening he was
reported to be very comfortable with a
good chance of recovery. Mr. Nolan has a
wife and three small children, and lives in
j. d. Crav's house on Henry street extern
