qualities and other local subdivisions,
recommend that the principle of local
government be applied at once, so as to
enable the intelligent citizens Of the
island to participate in their own gov
eminent, and to learn by practical ex-
perience the duties and requirements Of
a self-contained and governing peo-
pie. | have not thought it wise to
commit the government Of the island
to officers selected by the people, be-
cause doubt whether in habits, train
ing and experience, there are such as
to fit them to exercise at once 50 large
degree Of self government, but 1t is my
judgment and expectation nat they
soon will arrive at an attainment of ex-
perience and wisdom and self-control
that will justify comforting upon them
a much larger participation in the choice
of their insular officers.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Concerning the order of May 20, 1899,
amending the civil service laws, the
president says: The principal purpose
Of the order was to except from COM
petitive examination certain places in
volving fiduciary responsibilities or
duties of strictly confidential scientific
or executive character, which it was
thought might better be filled by nom
competitive examinations or in the dis
erection of the appointing officer than by
open competition. All Of the amend
ments had for their main object more
efficient and satisfactory administra-
ton of the system of appointments es-
tablished by the civil service law. The
results attained show that under their
operation the public service has i'm
proved. 1t Is believed that the merit
system has been greatly strengthened
and its permanence assured.
The 14th Of December will be the Tooth
anniversary Of the death of Washing
ton. have been glad to learn that in
many parts of the country the people
will fittingy observe this historic ami
| versary.
IN CONCLUSION.
Presented to this congress are great
opportunities. With them come great
responsibilities. The power confided to
us increases the weight Of our obliga'
lions to the people, and we must be pro-
foundry sensible Of them as we contem'
plate the new and grave problems which
confront US. Aiming only at the public
good, we cannon err. A right interpre-

SAYS:

"For over twenty-five years | have
constantly been engaged in the active
discharge of my profession as physician
and surgeon. During that career | have
perfected an Alternative medicine, the
Favorite Remedy, upon the value Of which
am willing to, and do stake my per-
sonal and professional reputation.
"Favorite remedy is the greatest dis
covery DR.. Kennedy has ever made. "
1t is to-day standard medicine With
thirty years of cures to its credit
Allow no one to deceive you with their
browning efforts, latest achievements or
brilliant fruits, counterfeits, limitations
or Just as good. They are but expert
ments and endanger your health.
Most ply sicans are ready enough to
give their services when a family is too
poor to pay, but it occasionally happens
that there is proprietary medicine
which does all or more than a physician
could do.
1--WE know of only one such medicine
namely Dr. David Kennedy's favoriterem-
edy" for such troubles as Kidney and
Bladder Complaints, Rheumatism, Dys-
pepsa, Liver Complaint, Constipation
and sickness peculiar to women.
Sufferers from these difficulties often
become so discouraged as to have no
heart to take any more medicine. To
all such, DR.. Kennedy has only to say
that if he were personally called upon
to prescribe at all, he would prescribe
Favorite remedy"
There are other proprietary medicines
in the market, made by person with
the same name and initial as my own,
and | have reason to believe than the
two are often COMPOUNDED in peoples
minds, and that the other articles spoken
of, have been substituted, either through
accident or design, when the latter have
been asked for, or desired. To avoid this
please ask for DR.. David Kennedy S
Favorite remedy, prepared in Rondout,
N. Y, and accept nothing else in its place.
"There are two proprietors of similar
names. but they are not connected or
associated in business, or otherwise.
"Those who wish consultation or adj
vice as to their own special case, can have
the same entirely free of charge. Simply
direct: DR.. David Kennedy, Rondout,
City ofKingston, ~ "" where allcom-
municatons will be treated with strictest
professional confidence.
ITO avoid mistakes, DR.. Kennedy
would beg you to remember that the
name OF his medicine is Favorite Rem
edy, that it is manufactured at Rondout
N. Y, and especially not to forget the
Doctors name David Kennedy, M. ID.
and address Rondout, N. y; he has nc
other address,"

Hay a Full Fledqed Consul.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The state de-
partment yesterday gave out this formal
announcement: 1.-THE president has
appointed Abelbert s. Hay of New
Hampshire consul of the United States
at Pretoria, South Africa republic, Dec.
2, 1885," This announcement dispels
any doubt that may have existed at first
as to Mr.. Hays status. He is beyond
a doubt full-fedged consul. and as
there cannot be two men holding the
same place, Mr. Macrum must have
lost his place as consul at Pretoria by
this appointment. Technically he is
on leave of absence, his request for such
a leave having been granted by the
state department with permission for
him to return to the United States.

Under is. Minute auIe.

Washington, Jan. H. The House, to-
day. passed the naval personnel bill
without division ON the final passage,
thus accomplishing what the officers
Of the navy have striven for during
more than decade. BY its provisions
the line and engineer corps are welded
into an amalgamateG line, staff otti-
GERS are given positive rank. but
their command is limited to their own
corps and a system Of voluntary and
compulsory retirement on three-quar-
ters pay as Of the next higher rank
of 40 officers year is established,
which is designed to-temove the con-
gestion in the lower rank. The bill al
so practically eqnalixee their pay with
that Of army officers.
Three important amendments were
adopted. One created judge advo-
Gates corps. another abolishes prize
money and Al third provides for the re-
tirement on three-quatters pay Of en-
listed men and petty officers in the
navy after 50 years service.
But the most important change in
the bill as reported was the adoption
after a hard fight Of a substitute for
the organization Of the marine corps.
by which the corps is TO consist of $500
enlisted men and petty officers with
general officers and staff. This will in
crease the marine corps by 1900 men
and increase the cost of maintenance

David Kierstead was found in the boil

furnace at Bryant & Cos. mill,
where he is engineer. today, af-
ter having been knocked down
by the breaking OF piston rod. The
rod in breaking had crushed in one
side of his skull and he was nechanl-

unconscious condition.
The machinery stopped, shortly af-
ter o'clock this morning. and work.
men, going into the engine room. found
that the engine piston rod was broken.
Beneath it was a pool of blood. Search
was then made for kierstead, and he
was found in the boiler room. He had
a cash in one side of his head where
he apparently had been struck by the
flying piston. The cash was nearly b
inches long and the brains were ooZing
from the cash. In spite of this fact
the man was at his post of duty. SHOW
cling sawdust into the fire boxes.
The men went up to the engineer,
since he did not respond to their calls,
and found that he was nearly uncon-
scious, in spite OF the fact that he was
still at his post of duty and at work
He was taken to his home and doctors
summoned. Although the man was
alive. late tPnight. it was feared that
he could not recover.
The supposition is that when the
piston broke the engineer was at work
on his engine and was struck by the
flying bar and knocked down. In his
unconscious condition, it is thought, he
walked into the boiler room where he
continued his work. When found 1t
was with difficulty that he was drag
