THE STERLING CONSIDERED
THE BEST WHEEL MADE.

GAS the constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;
As the constant gnaw of tiger
Masticates the toughest bone;
As the constant cooling lover
Carries off blushing maid"
So the constant cycle rider
Says, the Sterling's best wheel made.
Many and varied are the bicycles which
are now offered to the riding public; some
good, others fairly so; but more which are
scarcely worthy Of the name. To the in
experienced wheelman all wheels look
alike to him, as they are enamelled, nickel
ed and decorated to produce like effect.
The best fittings,-as tires, saddles, ETC.,
are also sometimes to be found on the
cheapest wheels; this being possible, as
the money which should be expended on
good material and the skillful manufacture
of same, Is used instead, for the outside
appearances; thus bright nickel and good
enamel may cover the cheapest cast iron
and gas pipe.
In the every day use of cycle, IT is
subjected to very severe strains, and q
machine upon which the owner Is to trust
his safety should be carefully selected, as
an imperfectly brazed tube, OF other SINH
lar defect, is liable to cause serious injury
to the rider. Therefore 1t is well, when
purchasing a wheel, to examine fully into
its construction, material used, and the
amount of experience its makers have had
in the building of cycles. Before you
finally decide to buy a wheel, the P. G.
Mfg. Co. on Fort Street would like tc
show you the 80 Model Sterling and ex'
plain their superior points to you. Lady's

YOUR DELEGATE.

The spokes an of the Govern
ment officials has the good grace
to speak of Mr.. Hsrtwell as "Our
Delegate" Indeed he is your
your delegate, gentlemen of the
Hawaiian Government and you
are to be congratulated on this
admission though it does come
late iu the day aud after vain
efforts to place this delegate in
tue category of popular reprent-
atives.
The defense is offered, that Mr..
Hartwell is just as much an Ha-
waiian representative as Embassa-
dor Choate is the Am ericsn re
preventative to England. On the
ground that poor excuse is better
than none we readily endorse this
view But why the necessity of q
defense ? That it should be deem
ed necessary demonstrates the
lack of strength in the govern
ment's position.
The similarity between the Am
ericsn ambassador to England

to serve the ends of officials, who are
subject to the com nsnds of the
Government to which this delegate
is accredited. The comparison 10 a
powerful one in that it brings in
bold relief the difference.
The opposition has never raised
an objection to the Hawaiian Exc

right to be heard, though they ac-

Chinese History.

Authentic history and biography In
China embraces a period from the year
122 of our era back to the remote period
of 2,697 years before Christ, writes Rear
Admiral Francis A. Roe, in Self Culture.
The historians of China embrace success
sion or uninterrupted series of more than
2,400 years. The full and continuous
history OF the empire was compiled in the
second century of our era.
The great Libraries of Peking contain
volumes of books numbered by the hun
dreds of thousands. In the archives OF
the Government are still to be found the
ancient predictions of eclipses made with
great accuracy, together with works on
astronomy which show fair knowledge of
that interesting science. Biographies, very
succinctly written, of the emperors OF the
most ancient dynasties, still exist, and
written works of learned men are as vol
luminous as those of European nations.
And all this learning and love of learning
has been acquired without help or sugges-
ton from any foreign people. If their
authentic histories reach back to nearly
five centuries ago, mythical history reaches
still further back into the very Night OF
Time.
When Nineveh and Babylon were in the
splendor of their might, men in China
were predicting echpses, making cata-
logues, and giving names to the stars.
But Nineveh and Babylon were mere
mounds of earth and rubbish when China
was great, and to this date the civilization
and life of the empire is the wonder OF the
world.

ne day he made the acquaintance of a

rich young New Englander, who had come
to Santa Fe with lot of money to engage
in business. The Yankee visited the ha-
cieuda, and soon made himself at home
there 1t was said that he was in love with
Donna Espinosa, a beautiful girl about
Is years of age, and that his affection
was reciprocated. At one time when
Espinosa was pressed for money the young
Yankee received a large remittance from
the East. He offered it to the Spaniard. but
the latter was too proud to accept loan
from his sisters lover. The same night,
however, after he had retired, the young
man heard a burglar in his room and in the
struggle learned that the intruder was no
other than his host. Being discovered,
ESpinoSa drew dagger and plunged it into
the Americans heart.
The members of the household came rush
ing into the room just as the victim was
dying. He told them what had happened,
ard the sister of the murderer, throwing
herself upon the body of her dead lover,
cursed her brother as an assassin and 4
thief. The guests made no attempt to ar
rest him, but Espinosa knew that he was
ruined, and in desperation abandoned his
ranch and fled to Sangre de Christie Mount
aims, where he made his headquarters for
several years, conducting successful raids
upon the overland coaches and the freight
caravans along the Santa Fe trail, and rob-
bing ranch settlers in every direction. The
Government offered a reward for the bandit,
dead or alive, and after about 10 years of
unparalleled outlaWry he was shot by an
Irish trapper named Tom" Tobin, who cut
off his head and brought it to the authori-
ties in an old gunnySack.

EFFECT OF SMOKELESS POWDER.
Firing Said to Be More Terrifying 10 Men and Horses

IedrSOnS Magazine.
In the British army the four-legged re-
cruits are drawn up III a ring round an in
structor who fires pistol. Some take the
flash and report very quietly, and these are
very soon passed on to severer trials, while
the others have lesson after lesson until
they are quite convinced that there is no
danger to them, and before long you might
fire n Seven-pounder within yard of them
and they would hardly look around. After
this they are taught to face fire-that is to
say, To gallOp fearlessly up to n line or
square of infantry, blazing away with their
rifles, and to charge batteries of quick
firing guns. OF course, only blank car
tridgcS are used, and so to a trained horse
going into battle for the first time there is
10 difference between the harmless thunder
of manuvers and the death-dealing storm
which sweeps over the battlefield. The
poor brute only learns what the difference
really is by bitter experience.
When smokeless powder came into gen.
eral use it was found that in many cases
horses which would face the smoke of guns
using black powder without flinching
1linched and SHE'D at the flash and roar un-
accompanied by smoke. Continental
opinion is somewhat divided as to the moral
effect of smoKeless powder on men and
horses, but the general conclusion seems to
be that in daylight it is not more terrifying
than black powder, although some hold
that to see men and horses struck down by
an invisible agency must necessarily be so.
But it is generally agreed that the use of
smol;eless powder at night has much
more disturbing effect than that of the old
powder, because the flashes of the guns,
unobscured by smoke, are great deal more
vivid.
The fear thus inspired can, however, be
overcome by training, but there is another
fear which must, in the nature of the case,
be felt for the first time on the battlefield,
and "a
produced both in men and horses by the
whistling of bullets and the screaming and
| banging of shells. Some authorities have,
indeed. said that since the introduction of
smokeless powder and the great increase in
the range and accuracy of weapons, ii
would be impossible to keep cavalry in
| hand under tie fire Of modern artillery, but
| this is probably an eXapperatiOn.

No one can see sambur stag as he
stands, posed to perfection, on some rocky
hight, with morning mists rolling around
him, without acknowledging the creature s
noble appearance. That is the time to take
his picture; when, with head up and full, dark
eyes beaming, with dewdrops glistening on
his rough but handsome coat and bristling
ruff, the buck starts at a sign of danger and
gathers himself for flight.
Many did we view under such circum-
stances, after having successfully pitted
trained energy, certainty of aim, and the
chances of a broken neck against their keen
instincts, backed by bodily powers which
gave unusual chances for escape in this
difficult country. 1t was among forest
glades or brakes, however, that most game
of this kind fell to our lot. Admirable as
are their scenting organs, wary and cum
ming as that species always prove to be, g

EX-CONFEDERATES- OF JUNE
27, 1S9O.-In the criminal case Of United
States VS.. William Hampton the defendant
was indicted for falsely swearing in his
pension claim under the act of June q,
1890, that he had never been in the Con-
federate service, whereas he had so served
previous to his enlistment in the United
States service, on which his claim was
based. United States District Judge Ewart
holds, that the defendants false statement
was not material in the matter of his pen
sion title, On the ground that the act of
June 27, 1890, under which he claimed,
repealed by implication, Sc far as relates
| to claims under the act, the statute pro-
hibiting payment of pension to persons
disloyal during the war. The District
Attorney has appealed to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals sitting in Rich
| mond, Va.
1t will be remembered that under the
| Harrison Administration tine act of 1890
was construed III accordance with the view
now expressed by Judge Ewart, and thou
sands of eX-ConfederateS We're pensioned
for faithful service subsequently rendered
in the Union military and naval service.
But the Cleveland Administration re-
versed this holding, and has so far been
sustained by the present Administration. .
Ex-Confederates are entitled under the
general law for disability incurred in line
of duty in the United States service.
DiSABILITY-MEDICAL EXAMINA-
TIONS.-In the pension case of Warren
| Thompson, aged IS, claiming under the
act of June 27, 1890, the decision assistant
Secretary Davis, Aug. 8, 1890 sustaining
rejection states:
"A pension claim is decided upon all the
| evidence in the case, and the degree OF
inability to perform manual labor is a
medical question only so far as claimants
physical and mental condition is shown
| by competent medical evidence. The
question is not as to how much labor a
man does or how often he quits work. 1t
| is how much does his physical and mental
condition indicate that he is capable of
doing? And in deciding the question we
can have no better evidence on which to
base a sound conclusion than an accurate
description OF his physical makeup, and q
| showing, by competent physicians, the
| normal or abnormal condition of his body
and mind. We can not conclude because
| a man is lame in different parts of his body
that he can not earn his support by manual
labor. We must know the degree of lame
ness in order to arrive at any just conclu-
sion. One person will continue to do
manual labor while affected with Il certain
degree of rheumatism, while another per-
son will not labor with much less affection.
Should the person who declines to labor
be allowed pension, and the person who
does labor be refused one? 1t is the ability
to labor that is the standard and that
ability can best be discovered by a knowl-
edge as to his detailed physical and mental
condition, and as to the causes which pro-
duce anything abnormal, in order that a
proper judgment may be had upon the
question of permanency."

Comptroller holds (Aug. 23) thai person
