PELED|SPLAYS HER POWER.
VOLCANO OF KILAUEA BECOMES
ACTIVE.
News Brought by the Steamer w. G.
Hall-Immense Column of Smoke
Seen From Punaiuu.
Kilauea is in action.

Kilauea is in action.
The news was brought by the steamer
w. G. Hall which arrived at 1 o'clock
today.
When at Punaluu early Monday
morning the officers of the Hall saw
immense clouds of smoke rising from
the crater. Captain Simerson who has
seen Kilauea in action many times,
clearly recognized that the Goddess
Pele was again displaying her power.
An effort was made to get information
of the eruption other than that which
the rising column of smoke gave, but
with little success.
The Hall left soon after and after
getting around to the Kona side of the
Island the smoke was hidden from view
by the intervening mass of mountains.
The eruption seems to have begun
during Sunday night, for the officers or
the Hall saw no signs of it Sunday, but
it was the first thing that greeted them
Monday morning.
The last considerable activity of Kill
auea was in 1894.

PapaI Decree Declares it Will Begin with
January 4.
In the Roman Catholic world the
twentieth century begins at midnight
December 81, 1899, according to the
text of the decree of the congregation
of rites solemnly dedicsting the year
1900 as the holy year. The decree per-
mits the celebration of midnight mass
in all the churches in christendom upon
the night of December 81 next. This is
privilege of unusual interest. Never
before in the history of the church has
any priest OF the church except the
Roman pontiff been permitted to cele-
brate mass at midnight on the eve of
the new year.
All Roman Catholics who desire to
participate solemnly in this ceremony
are permitted to receive communion at
this mass in their parish churches
either during the mass itself or imme-
diately afterward.

A POOT CRUTCH.


| It's IA Bad Plan to Lean Broken
| stick.
A man might lean his week limb on
crutch for years and il would grow no
stronger, bat the moment he throws
away the support and makes the fsv-
ored member dependent on it's own re-
sources, that moment will it begin to
gain in strength.
Does it not seem folly then, to take a
remedy TO assist the digestive organs to
digest the food instead of putting them
in condition to do the work unaided
1t is certainly foolish and dangerous
practice to constantly stimulate the di-
gestion by opiates. Instead of making
the stomach healthy they make it weak
and dependent on stimulent. At fret
a small amount will relieve, but as time
goes on the dose must be increased un-
| til the stomach refuses to assimilate
the food without the accustomed slim
uIant
Dyspepsia is diseased condition and
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
blood. If these are healthy and the
blood pure, the digestive organs will
take care of the food as nature intended.
This healthy condition cannot be Sc
cured by the use of stimulants. 1t takes
a remedy that will go direct to the seat
of the disease.
Knox Stomach Tablets are new COM
bination of unrivaled remedies, scien
tifically prepared by the best chemists

forms of liver and stomach troubles. a

WOMEN IN FACTORIES
Information Contained i'm the Factory

Information Contained in the Factory
Inspectors Report.
Factory Inspector McAbee filed his
report with the governor Friday. He
says that the employment of women
and children is becoming the most SER
ious problem in The labor world. He
says the competition between manufac
turers is so keen that to save fraction
girls. In discussing this condition, he
Gays it is sad hing that young women
will prefer TO work in factories where
they do the work of men for little more
than they receive for work generally
allotted to women In homes. He says
| it conduces TO the loss of "maidenly
modesty and those qualities so highly
priced by men," Women, he says, are
employed at sixty-five different indus
tries In this state, ranging from tooth
pick manufacture to labor in iron foun-
dries and tin plate works. "This is I'M
American he says, land reminds us of
what we have heard of women in
mines and shops of other countries
On the other hand he says much more
attention is being given TO the comfort
of employees than ever before. With
regard TO wages he says the
weekly payment law has caused
more fiction than any law on
the statute books, and in consequence
the inspector has proceeded slowly in
the enforcement of it because of wish
to do an injury to neither employe nor
employer.
He deplores the fact that he is 81
most altogethe rdependent on the news
papers for his knowledge of accidents
that occur in factories and regrets that
the last legislature did not pass the law
licensing engineers and providing for q
boiler::inspection.
during the last year the department
of inspection has received reports from
80 counties, touching the interests of

A Deceptive Scheme.

Goshen, who boasts of being the only
city i'm Northern Indiana that has sue
ceeded in Kidding itself of the premium
evil, is again threatened with a peace
disturber for the merchants in the shape
of an endless chain coupon scheme by
foreign firms, which by the promise of
something, almost nothing, sllures
many unthinking people. The same
scheme, if worked by local merchants
within their own territory, would soon
ruin their reputation and their business,
as fifteen out of every sixteen persons
entering into the scheme must pay for
the benefit of the one, hence it can
easily be seen that the number of dupes
are indeterminate. Each of the fifteen
