SAMOA'S GOVERNMENT.
The Result of Joint High Commits
 sfon's Labors.

The Result of Joint High Commits
 sion's Labors.
 The drafts of the proposed new Samo- an treaty as amended by the Samoan commissioners and published by the San Francisco Call is a document of 5000 words. The important features of the treaty are enumerated and discussed in the commissions report, the treaty con- taining the details of the modified form of government for Samoa, as outlined in the report.
 The treaty begins with declaration of the neutrality of the islands of Samoa and an assurance to the respective citi- zens and subjects of the signatory powers of equality of rights. It provides for the immediate restoration of peace and good order, and to this end permanently abol- ishes the office of king and limits the au- thority of chiefs, but creates system of native government.
 Provision is made for the appointment of an administrator at Samoa, to be ap- pointed by the three signatory powers, or, failing their agreement, by the king of Norway and Sweden. The administra- tors salary will be $6000 per annum, and he is to execute all laws in force in the Samoan islands. He shall possess the pardoning power and make municipal ap- 
 pointments with the consent of the legis- lative council, the legislative power be- ing vested in the administrator and the legislative council of three members, one being appointed by each of the three powers. There is also to be a native as sembly composed of the governors of diff ferent districts of the islands.
 The chief justice of the supreme court Is to be appointed as at present, receiv- ing salary of 5000. The jurisdiction of the court is increased by the modified treaty, while the present system of con sular jurisdiction is to be abolished. The treaty contains municipal and customs regulations, all of which are more strict than at present. The general provisions of the act are to remain in force for three years, although in the meantime special amendments may be adopted by the consent of the three powers with the adherence of Samoa,

 Nothing spells a good constitution quicker
 Nothing taxes a mans patience.
 Like any itchiness of the skin.
 Itching piles almost drive you crazy.
 All day it makes you miserable.
 All night 1t keeps you awake
 Itch. Itch. Itch. With no relief
 Just the same with Eczema.
 Can hardly keep from scratching it.
 You would do so, but you know it makes 1t worse.
 Such miseries are daily decreasing.
 People are learning they can be cured
 Learning the merit of Doan's Oint- ment
 Plenty of proof that Doan's Ointment will cure piles, eczema, or any itchiness of the skin.
 MT. H. K. Hamor, of P Hancock street, respected citizen of Ellsworth, Me, says: ''I used everything recom- mended to me by friends and acauaint- ances, and bought innumerable reme- dies said to be sure cures for itching piles, but for three year nothing I ob- tained made the least impression upon them. In the evening and at night the never ceasing annoyance simply. meant torture, and many a night, unable to sleep, 1 was almost driven crazy. With very little faith in the preparation, but suffering annoyance which amounted to torture, 1 procured Doan's Ointment. A part of a 5o-cent box cured me. I could not believe 1t. It is hard to understand how couple of weeks treatment of any ointment will bring about the results obtained, and it is much harder to ex- prsss my appreciation of that fact. feel so grateful that recommend Doan's Ointment to everyone requiring such . preparation"

In His Eyes.

Sometimes a deaf man gives an an- swer which makes wonderfully close hit, although he has totally misunder- stood the question:
 'Is your sons bride a pretty girl" asked an old lady of penurious and very deaf old gentleman whose son had recently married the daughter of a prosperous grocer.
 "No," said the old man calmly, ''she isn't, but she will be when her father dies.-

Christ the Healer.

he jumps off. In olden times suicide was buried at the crossroads, and the people were accustomed to throw stones upon his grave. So it seems to me there may be at this time man who is destroying his soul, and as though the angels of God were here to bury him at the point where the roads of life and death cross each other, throwing upon the grave the broken law and a great pile of misimproved privileges, so that those going by may look at the fearful mound and learn what suicide it is when an immortal soul, for which Jesus died, puts itself out of the way.
 When Christ trod this planet with foot of flesh, the people rushed after him-people who were sick, and those who, being so sick they could not walk, were brought by their friends. Here 1 see a mother holding up her little child, saying: Cure this croup, Lord Jesus! Cure this scarlet feverr And others: Cure this ophthalmia! Give ease and rest to this spinal distress! Straighten this club foot.' Christ made every house where he stopped q dispensary. I do not believe that in the 19 centuries which have gone by since, his h4art has got hard. I feel that we can come now with all our wounds of soul and get his benedic- tion. o Jesus, here we are. We want healing. We want sight. We want health. We want life. ''The whole need not q physician, but they that are sick" Blessed be God that Jesus Christ comes through this assemblage now, his garments smelling of myrrh'' that means fragrance, 'and aloes'- they mean bitter sacrificial memories, 'and cassia"-that means medicine and cure.

 Liverpool opening cables were half up with spot sales at 2000 bales. Later cables showed a disposition to realize, and final cables were one point lower.
