Among the intensely interesting
phases of life in Hawaii that Will he
shown in the Hawaiian village at the
Greater America exposition will be the
dance still preserved among those OF the
race who have yielded the least to the
encroachments of civilizing influences
from America. 1t is known as the

who have vainly endeavored to describe

Schiey Day Celebration.
The first anniversary of the swift and
terrible destruction of Cervera's feet
at Santiago is TO be fittingly celebrated
at the Greater America exposition in
Omaha. 1t has been set apart as Schley
day, in honor of the gallant officer who
was temporarily in command in the
eventful hour when the pride of the
Spanish navy, in command of its most
intrepid officer. shot out of the harbor
into the open sea and the seething
storm of American shot and shell. Dur

the encouragement and enthusiasm
which his presence will inspire.
President Mckinley Coming West.
There is strong probability that the
western friends of President Mckinley
will be permitted to extend TO him an
other greeting during the summer.
There is a most encouraging likelihood
that he win visit the Greater America
exposition at Omaha some time during
its progress, probably during the warm
season. a formal and urgent invitation
has heen extended to him by the expo
sitiOn management, and the assurance
has been given that if he comes west
at all he will visit the exposition. Re
cent advices sent out from Washington
indicate the president S willingness to
come west 10 welcome home the volun-
teers returning from Manila, and plans
have been under consideration for

tional park. The president has mani

project and has given 1T u great deal

visit to Omaha a year ago was the oc

him, and be can hardly be insensible to
the desire of western people to extend

months. The agents of the exposition
now in the Philippine Islands have en-
countered severe obstacles in the collec-
ton of their exhibits by reason of Gen
eral Otis objections to the shipment to
this country of the number of native
Filipinos desired for the equipment of
the Filipino village on the grounds.
What objections he could reasonably
urge TO the removal of these people to
this country have not been apparent to
one so far removed from their present
sanguinary environment, but certain it
is that be at first declined TO permit the
agents TO bring any Filipinos away
from their native shores. An appeal to
the president and an order issued by
him to General Otis resulted in grant

larged, owing to the friendly interest

Collections of Paintings.
Two of the most interesting historical
collections Of paintings extant will be

artists. The management of the Great

its fine art hall at Omaha the famous
Vereschagin collection OF nearly 1000
fine paintings portraying scenes in the
life of Napoleon, notably his brilliant
but disastrous Russian campaign. This
collection has recently been on exhibi-

noted capture for the Greater America

scenes and incidents in the life OF
Christ. Hundreds of treasured works of

wealthy connoiseurs of Chicago, ST.

ceremonies of the Greater America expo
sition at Omaha and will give concerts
from the grand band stand, which has
been declared to be the best in America,
every afternoon and evening for the
first five weeks. Most of the performers
have at some period been connected
with the illustrious Grenadier guards
band of England, of which Dan God
frey was for many years the leader. He
is the greatest of all the leaders Of the
splendid bands in the British army,
and he has selected his material from
the best in the service. Following this
will come the celebrated BellstedtBal

weeks engagement. Some time in Sep
tember the national band of Hawaii
will come from Honolulu for an engage
ment and negotiations are pending for
fourth band of international repute.
The Hawaiian band will intersperse
many of the novel native selections
with its airs popular in America and
classic music. A band of Indian boys
from an Indian school in Arizona will
be a feature of the Indian congress.

Rubber Band For Headache.

departmental headaches are dis
tinct malady" remarked well known
physician to a reporter, land it is some
what Of a surprise how many sufferers
there are among department clerks
from this trouble. The thing seems to
grow among them, and they have their
headaches as regularly as they have
their work
A simple remedy which is worth try
ing is to put rubber band around the
head just above the ears The band
should not be tight enough to stop the
circulation of the blood. The band
known as the string band is generally
sufficiently heavy for the purpose. 1t
should be applied just as soon as it is
noticed that the headache is setting in
and taken off the moment the pain
ceases In many cases the rubber band
works nicely, though it affords no re-
lief when the headache is the result Of
stomach troubles or biliOusneSs.
~ find also that rubber band twist
ed about toe between the corn and the
foot is handy remedy to stop the pain
from jumping corn. COrns are very
liable to be troublesome when there is
much humidity i'll the atmosphere. The
rubber band seems to temporarily quiet
the nerves in the toe, and in this way
stop the pain As in the case of band
around the head, the pressure should not
be tight enough to stop the circulation
of the blood. Washington Star.

This is what he was doing when a

picion of slight contempt, mingled with
pity in his tone.
The man with the vase merely nod
ded, but otherwise took no notice Of
him, and went on shaking the vessel.
Suddenly he ceased and plunged his
hand to the bottom. He drew forth a

Tobacco In England.

In regard to the suggestion which is
sometimes made that one way to relieve
agricultural depression i'll this country
would be for the government to allow
and even to encourage the growth of to-
bacco, it may be interesting to note how
long the prohibition has lasted and how
sternly it has been enforced. This may
be gathered from the following extract
"Cornet Wakefield with a party of
horse marching out of Glocester upon
the last of July to Winchcome and
Cheltnam to destroy the Tobacco plant
ed in these parts, the Country did rise
against them i'll ii great body, to the
number Of 5 or 600, giving them very
revileing and threatning speeches, even
to kill them horse and man, if that he

that the tumult being so great, he was
