Likely A TERRITORY.
Mr. Waterh0use on Hawaiian Legis-
1dtiOn in Congress.

Henry Waterhouse is confident that
the only fear of a colonial Hawaiian
Government comes from the people OF
Honolulu, and that in Washington
nothing is said upon the subject of Ha
wall indicating that it will be other
than TERRITORY
Whatever is to be said upon the
subject of Hawaii's future Govern
ment, | can assure you said Mr..
Waterhouse, that everywhere we are
spoken of as the Territory of Hawaii.
President Mckinley speaks of Ii as
such, and in official circles it IS under
stood it would not be true American
ism to speak OF it otherwise.
Il saw gentleman who is a close
and confidential friend of Mr.. Mckin-
ley, and he told me that Hawaii is do
ing more harm to it's interests in Con-
gress than good, because of the opinion
which emanates from our people here,
that Congress will not serve our inter-
eStS well.
But we have friends in Congress, as
much Hawaii's friends now as they
were during the annexation fight, and
they will see that Hawaii is properly
represented. It is undoubted by me
from the talks | have had with men
who know, that Hawaii can not be any
thing but Territory.

pleased with the reception which was
accorded the four native delegates to
the great Congregational Convention
in Boston Whenever they spoke in
the Convention they were listened to
eagerly. and were asked to fill pulpits
during the week days and upon Sum
days. so that others outside the Con-
vention could listen to them.
1T was a grand sight" said he, and
the delegates acquitted themselves in
manner which speaks volumes for the
missionary work in Hawaii. At the
American Board meeting in Provi-
dence, r. l., the Rev. Desha was called
upon to make an address: his splendid
elouuence and his enunciation Of the
English language proved great sur
prise and simply brought the house
down. He waxed patriotic. over the
Stars and Stripes. and SO feelinglN re-
ferred TO the changed conditions in Ha
waii, and the substitution Of the flags"
Before returning to Honolulu, Sen
ator Waterhouse visited New York

OF Mrs. Waterhouse at Bucyrus, Ohio.

kisslag Dsgs Have No Chance
with ThenA.

Since reading in the newspapers Of the
kissing bug and his doipgs al the people in
rural Maine have taken to capturing bugs
and insectsof all sorts and bringing the speci-
mems to town for examination by newspa-
per men and naturalists. Countless are the
kinds of bugs that have been taken to
Bangor in bottles, boxes and preserve jars,
and the captors all seem to&be sorely dis.
appointed when told that instead Of the gen.
uine kisser they have a moth killer, q lace.
winged fly, or something quite common and
harmless.
A man came from Veaxie to Bangor the
other day with ferocious- looking bug
.orked up in preserve jar and claimed the
bug in that part of the country. 1t was not
the famous kissing bug that he had, but ma.
tive bug somewhat resembling a small lob
,ter with wings.
81 don't,care hang" declared the Veazie
man, when told that he must try again:
"These fellers kin lick the stuffin' out Of
Sunkhazers, and that's what none Of your
common bugs kin do"
Not many people living far away from
Bangor know what a "Sunkhazer" is like.
It is a ferocious big fly that infests the flats
and meadows about Sunkhaze deadwater,
place in the Penobscot river where the
water is slack and where millions of logs
are RATED. The Sunkhazers are the pest
If the loggers, upon whom they feast to
their hearts content, and nothing can drive
the famed mosquitoes of Jersey, and any
Maine man will back one of them against a
dozen kissing bugs in. a fair stand-up fight
Maine folks have, probably, no kissing bugs
but SO long as the Sunkhazers survive they
will not feel lonesome.-N. Y. Sun.

Must Turn to the Right.

Attorney-General Akin, of Spring
field, ILL.,, has rendered an opinion that
bicycle IT. IN legal contemplation to
be regarded as carriage or vehicle, and
that, particularly in relation to its use
OH highway, the bicycle is entitled
to the same privileges and subject to
the same burdens as other vehicles. He
holds that ordinarily a bicycle rider is
entitled to part of the beaten track
unless it is impracticablc from the ma
ture of the ground for the driver of
the carriage or wagon to turn to the
right, in which case the matter must be
determined by its own particular facts.
The effect of this opinion is to compel
the drivers of all vehicles to turn to
the right when meeting a bicycle, as
the law requires in meeting We
b;cle.

ELECTRIC CURRENT.
English Surgeon. Obtained powe.
for Roentgen Rays from the
Riders of Tandem.

A physician of Belleville, Ont, has
received a letter from a relative in Eng
land who was in the Soudan campaign.
The writer gives the following narra-
ton of how surgeons in the Soudan
developed an electric current:
after the battle of Omdurman we
brought back to Abadieh 121 wounded
officers and men. OF this number there
were 81 cases which could not be d.
agnosed accurately by ordinary surg
ical means. By the help of the Roentgen
rays, which We're used about 60 times,
we found the bullet or proved its alb
sence in 20 out of these 81 cases, the
odd case being so i'll with a severe bull
let wound in the lung that it was not
considered justifiable to examine him at
the time. Of course, we had no steam
engine to generate our electricity for
us, and the desert heat had dissolved
ourspecially prepared candles nto their
oily constituents.
Necessity, you know, is the moth
er of invention, and we had recourse
to q unique method. The pulley of a
small dynamo was connected by means
of a leather strap with the rear wheel
of specially constructed tandem BIZ
cycle. The required velocity for the dy-
namos was thus obtained, and our pro-
cedure was as follows: Having care.
fully adjusted the circuit with the stor.
age battery and also with the voltmeter
and ammeter, warrant officer took
his position ON the seat of the bicycle
and commenced pedaling. When Is
volts and IA amperes were registered
the switch close to the handle of the
bicycle was opened and the charging of
the battery began.
''As the resistance became greater a
sensation as if riding uphill was ex-
perienced, and the services of an adj
ditional orderly were requisitioned for
the front seat of the tandem. This bi-
cycle practice was generally carried out
in a shade temperature of no deprees
Fahrenheit, so that at the end of half
an hour the orderlies were not sorry
when the switch was turned off and
the machine brought to standstill."

SELECTING A WHEEL.
A Few of the Points to BE Conside re d
by the InexpcriencedP Purchases
of Wheel.

When selecting bicycle, attention
should be given, first of all, to it's weight
as compared with the weight it is to
carry, and the class of roads over which
| it is to be used.
For all-around purposes, a standard
make of bicycle will carry from six to
eight times it's own weight, and every
pound added to its burden beyond that
increases the proximity to the danger
lines. It is no uncommon thing to see
100 pounds of rider pushing 20 pounds
of bicycle at speed of IA miles an
hour over country roads. If the wheel
gives out it is charged to defective
material or workmanship, when in real
ity the defect is in the skill of the
rider.
If the wheels of a carriage strike an
obstruction, in order to pass over it the
entire load must be lifted to the same
height as the obstruction encountered,
while with the bicycle the weight of
the rider depresses the tire to certain
extent, so that the lifting force is re-
duced by large percentage. OF course
I0Jo 1cuuSLlOA VI AAAIlA4S5 AOASC AAuoI Va
necessity depend upon the condition
and quality of the tire in use. The CEN
ter of gravity of rider should be
above a point midway between the
crank axle and rear hub. This will give
the rider position which will enable
him to apply direct force to'the pedals
without unnatural strain upon the mus
cles of the legs.
The handle-bar should be so adjusted
as TO be reached easily without resting
any weight upon it. The practice of
putting one-half ones weight upon the
handle-bar changes pleasant pastima
into arduous labor, and forces the per-
ineum to sustain undue pressure.
The wheels should run true and with
out gar, the spokes tense and the rims
free from imperfections. They should
be equipped with good tires, for upon
this point depends much of the comfort
or discomfort of cycling. - Colder

BICYCLE THIEF TRAP.
"a NJ rs n ~ 80. \.

Outsider Burglar Alarm, IL
~ set at work. tsss trtS

Catching bicycle thieves by electrici-
ty is now one of the pastimes of Wash
ington street. in the neighborhood of
Dearborn. The trap was set two weeks
ago and already one victim walked into
it and landed in the police station.
Baited with two or three bicycles it is
now in working order again and wait
ing for the next lucky man who wants
to get aswheel for nothing.
Alexander Marney 6 Co. conduct a
salesroom in one of the big buildings on
Washington street and several of their
employees comeaon bicycles to work.
There being noasuitab bic sstoreroo1n for
the wheels inside Of the quarters of the
firm, they have been allowed to rest in
small recess in the hallway just out
side Mr.. Marney's door. There they
appear very tempting to the bicycle
thief. AL the doors around the place
are closed and fitted with ground glass
panels 30 that the lifting" of wheel
or twoScould not be observed except
by chance passer-by in the hallway,
which is on the third floor. Indeed,
two bicycles were carefully distracted
from the pile in the last month and Mr..
Marney decided it was time to do some
thing. A burglar alarm of the sim
plest nature was readily constructed.
A bell and battery were put in posi-
ton above the door inside the Office
and the wires were connected with a
little button set in the floor in the
wheel recess and extending fraction
of an inch above the flooring. When
wheel was placed in position with the
front tire directly on this button the
weight of the machine depressed the
button and broke the connection. But
If that wheel was raised the button at

once arose also, completed the circuit
and rang the jingling alarm. Nothing
simpler or more deadly to the bicycle
thief.
Several wheels are kept in the little
space all day, but they are piled with
the wheel which operates the alarm on
the outside of the lot and resting
against the others, SO no wheel can
be disturbed or removed without ring
ing the bell. The bicycle thief would
most probably take the outside wheel,
anyhow, SO the alarm was certain to
sound. And it did. One day last week,
after the trap had been set for many
days without making catch, tile alarm
bell suddenly jingied merrily and the
whole Office force rushed out into the
hall. Fifty feet from the recess was
a young man in rubber shoes trundling
a bicycle. He was caught and brought
back.
"What are you doing with that
wheel?" asked his captor.
II was just looking it over" said the
young man with the rubber shoes. II
admired its points very much
"Come into the Office where there is
a better light to examine it," suggest
ed the man who had firm grip in his
coat collar, maybe we can sell you the
Wheel"
Meantime some one had summoned
policeman and in few minutes the
rubber shoe man was locked up. Then
the bicycle was carefully replaced on
the electric button to await the next
! victim and everybody went back to
work.-Chicago Chronicle.

The old woman in the black shawl
was still standing on the street corner.
She looked tired and anxious, and the
plants in the basket had wilted sad
ly. The cars looked more alike than
ever, and she did not dare to stop one.

and Aunt Abby felt almost ready to

tigue and the dread that the police
man might speak to her, and she be
hopelessly disgraced thereby.
Suddenly her face broke into de-
