The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the med
ical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation
Of the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietOrs have
so much faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING IN
JACKSON.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
We held our regular county meet
ing with Loves Chapel Sub. on the
second Thursday in October Oar
meeting was small but was very en-
thusiastic. All the members pre1ent
seemed fully determined not to let the
ship sink. .#E
The address from the committee ep
pointed to prepare an address to the
Alliance people of North Carolina was
read, and hope will do good. We
need something to ''shake US up." and
hope it will be done.
Our next county meeting will be
with Loves Chapel Sub. on the second
Thursday in January, 1900. Let US
have a bigger" turnout than we have
mad during the old year. hope each
Sub. will come up with double the
it now has.

to realizs the necessity of continuing
the Alliance organic alton an will, no
doubt, soon apply for restoration.
There was interest also manifested in
the shoe factory. One great diff ,ulry,
which no one seemed to know exactly
how to meet, is how to get the shoes to
the consumers. We hope that som e
plan may be arranged so that the pee
pie can see the shoes and procure them.

At the present time with the i'm
mense prospective expansion of trade
and enterprise on these Islands, the
need of greater banking accommoda-
lions is felt TO render the assistance to
the community the First American Bank
of Hawaii comes into the field. This
institution will be supported by ample
capital and will carry on it's business
in progressive though conservative
lines. There is ample room in the mon
ey market for the new enterprise, and
it will prove of great advantage to-
wards carrying out the developments
of our resources which will make Ha-
wall, a territory worthy of the Great
Republic. The San Francisco and New
York connections of the bank show it's

FORTY YEARS.

The fortieth anniversary of the ar
rival of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart
upon these Islands, was celebrated I'M
ostentatiously on May 4th and only
few friends intimately connected
with the worthy Sisters were aware of
the fact, and offered their congraula-
tions. The Star wishes to add it's voice
to the congratulations. The work that
these excellent ladies have done dur
ing their forty years sojourn in our
midst has been for the benefit of many
a happy home. 1t has been unostenta-
tious, it has been self-denying life that
has been led and labor that has been
done. And it has been done patiently
and with only that hope of reward
which is promised hereafter.
To the average resident the work of
in the life on the other Islands, not the
life of the managers houses, but the
life of the people, the number of wives
who have been brought up within the
convent walls and have passed from
them to take charge of homes in hum
bic life is very striking. Other institu-
tons do similar good work, but there
are probably none which have done it
so unostentatiously and so quietly
To the average resident the work Of
these ladies is almost unknown. Those
who are of their religious belief know
it, of course, but few others, though
there have been girls of other religious
belief educated by them. Indeed in the
early sixties many of the young ladies
of those days received instruction in
accomplishments from these ladies, and
many a grandmother of this year 1899
was taught music and French by the
Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
No matter what a mans belief or
lack of belief may be, no matter whet-
her he be stern Protestant or late
tudinarian agnostic, or downright I'M
believer, he can do nothing but doff his
cap in respect to these excellent ladies
who have labored so long and so earn
estly in the cause of educating the
young girls of the territory and instill-
ing into them the principles of modest
and good living. 1t is a noble work
that they have done, and in the rush
and hurry of affairs it is we'll to pause
and mediate upon these lives of puri-
ty, charity and complete abnegation of
self, which pour out heartfelt love
and care upon the children of others,
rich and poor alike.

ished them and so forth. Sizing it all
up, he considered the only way to meet
the law was to sign every article and

unique specimen of a journal with ev-

the "reductio ad absurdum" with a

disrepute and putting it into the limbo

Certain tram car drivers, who were
cents an hour, a stipend which for 10
hours continuous work, without time
for meals would produce the princcly
income of 81 so per day, asked for an
advance to 20 cents an hour. The stern
economist at the head of the tram car
matters promptly dismissed the seek
ers after wealth. probably fearing that
their surplus cash might have the eff
feet of bulling the stock market. But
is it any wonder that complaints are
made about the class of men employed
as drivers, when such low pay is given.
No wonder the cars run off the tracks.
