The Milwaukee Journal of the 4th
inst. contains this interesting bit of
gossip: ED Hennlng, who was tenn
porary chairman of the meeting Of
Republicans Monday night in the
Hathaaay building, preliminary to
the orga imitation of a central associ-
alton OF Republicans, is a lively
member among the younger element
OF the party in this city. Mr.. Hen
ming was secretary to Congressman
S ing, of the Second district,
who got out of the political game
because he got into postoffice APP
pointment entanglements with Jesse
Stone and his Watertown followers.
In the senatorial contest Ed was an
ardent Quarles supporter, so that
the new central association, which it
is proposed to form here, is not like
ly to be antagonistic to the junior
senator. Joe O'Brien, who was tenn
porary secretary, is also what is
known as good mixer and a
hustler, and it looks as though the
new association would make it inter-
esting for some people. The plan of
the association is to effect a thor.
ough organization covering every
ward in the CITY,"

GOVERNOR SCCFIELD last week an
nouucei positively that be will not
under any circumstances stand for a
third nomination. This declaration
will be generally accepted as final and
the slatemakers will no doubt hence
forth leave him out of the question.
It is not to be presumed however,
that Governor Scotield is out Of pol
itics. He will be heard from later.

1t is being predicted in some quar-
tiers that very large portion of the
German voters of the Northwest, who
were so solidly for Mckinley three
years ago on the money question,
will leave the Republican party next
year if it declares strongly for ex-
pansion. No less an authority than
The Milwaukee Germania, which is in
close touch with German Republi-
cans, fears this will be the outcome
and sounds a warning IN tine.

Water 10 Jerusalem.

The scheme to bring pure water into
Jerusalem has been abandoned. AS
all visitors know, the inhabitants of
that city, of every creed and nationality,
and particularly the poorer residents,
suffer untold hardships in consequence
of the scarcity of drinking water. At
the present time they depend principal
ly upon the supply collected in cisterns
from the rains which fall during the
rainy season-from December to March.
Some of the water flows, in the first
place, through the streets of Jerusalem
before reaching the tanks, which are
above the houses. Thence il trickles
down into underground cisterns, where
it stagnates and breeds all sorts of in
sects and impurities. And this is what
the majority of the people have to
drink! Even If filtered and boiled it
would scarcely be safe to imbibe such
stuff. And by the end of June even
this supply is often exhausted.-Jewish
Chronicle.

low Gold Wa. Found ON KIondike.

How Gold Was Found on Klondike.
The famous Bonanza creek and the
more famous Eldorado creek are very
like ordinary, everyday creeks in APP
pearance-a little less civilized, per-
haps, than creeks TO be met with in
the east. There are men living in Alas
ka to-day who have hunted moose over
these creeks dozens of times; but, as
the old miners say, there were no sur
face indications TO lead anyone to sup
pose that gold might be found in them,
SO hundreds of miners passed by in
their boats, going to Forty Mile and
Circle City. The finding of such gold
is always an accident, and the old
hands are usually the last to realize
the truth. "Stick George" Cormack
and his squaw's relatives camped on
the creek for dinner one day, and some
how got to digging, and washed out
some gold. He went TO Forty Mile and
made claim for discovery, and soon the
news spread like wildfre.-John Sid
ney Webb, in Century.

afternoon at Kamehameha Girls

delightful in every way. a large avn

under this the exercises were given.
The balmy air added to the charm and
made one wonder why more entertain

air. The myths and legends which the
pupils recited told of the times when
the Islands were young. Each one who
took part did well, speaking in a clear.

We made no attempt to report Gen.
Gordon 5 lecture and it would have been
well had some other papers followed our
example This is the way daily paper
tells one story
Gen. Ewel had a fine horse and one day
went out on a scout. He was chased
back by the Union cavalry and the con
federates seeing the approaching soldiers
opened fire upon them. When Gen. Ewell
dashed up among his troops he exclaimed.
S'B0ys, what in - are you shooting at me
fore''
The boys replied that they did not
know it was he.
Gen. Ewell said "That is good ex-
cuse; but you must be more careful for
you might kill the best man in the Con
federate army
For the best man read best mare As
given above the story is pointless, as we'll
as unjust to the lecturer and to Gen.
Eweil. An attempt by another paper to
tell the Gen. Barlow incident was hardly
more successful.
The weakest spot in the school of the
present day is the want of local interest in
the local school The average citizen
does not know much about the physical
surroundings in the way of the school
buildings, yards, rooms and furnishings
in which his children are placed. He does
not know the teacher, her fitness for her
place, or the work she is doing. The
change in the administration of schools
has made great change in the feeling ex-
listing in the community toward the
I, l.; .al,+
town cannot do for the schools. Local
interest must furnish the means or work
for grading the grounds. and furnishing
books, casts, pictures, etc 1t is better
that this work be done through local
agencies than through the town as mu-
ncipality.
There is much truth in the above para
graph from the report of the State Super
intendent of Schools. Not only is the
average citizen ignorant of the cond-
ton and needs of the schools, but those
who make the appropriations for the
maintenance of the schools are equally,
and we might add culpably, ignorant.
The idea seems to be how to cut down ap.
preparations: not how much is really nee
essary to properly support the schools
and give the children the educational ia
cilities ard sanitary surroundings alike
due to them and to those who are taxec
for their support. Few realize the mis-
chief done by combining children in lilly
ventilated, badly lighted rooms Better
loss of education than loss of health. The
one may be made up, while the latter Cal
never be regained. There needs to be al
awakening in this direction, and we ,rus
that the earnest words above quoted ma.
bear fruit.
