Buy the Jenness FILLER
Shoe for Summer.

In Summer the feet often per-
spire and swell, so that an lift
ting shoe becomes a source of tor
ture. The Jenness Miller shoe is
built on such natural easy lines
that it fits the foot comfortably in
Summer as we'll as in Winter.
But don't expect to find it a
loose and slouchy shoe. 1t fits and
fits perfectly. That is the one big
reason why it is SO easy.

SUGAR INDUSTRY IN HAWAII.

The development of the sugar indus
try is SO closely identified with the de-
velopment Of Hawaiian commerce as to
make separate discussions almost SUI
perogatory. Sugar is practically Ha-
waits commerce, and Hawaii's COM
merce is substantially sugar. Of the
1897 export figures Of S16,021, IT'S, sugar
represented $780, 42 land of this to-
tai, s15,390,223 came to the United
States). Incidentally let me note that
of the thirty millions of dollars invest
ed in Hawaiian sugar plantations,
twenty-five and one-half millions is
American; OF the total population of
the island (1O9,O2O), nearly one-quar-
ter (24,653) are employed on the sug-
ar plantations; Of the Chinese and Jap
anese inhabitants (45,000), almost
half (21,000) are employed on the sug-
ar plantations. With this array Of fig
ures confronting him, the inquiring
reader will hardly challenge my state
ment of sugars relation to Hawaiian

HAWAIIAN POLITICAL PARTIES.

First Of all, that among white in
habitants there is really no serious
division Of opinion-political- all
Hawaii. On all important matters
touching the welfare of the islands, the
opinions Of those, white and native
whose opinions really carry weight
are united. But human nature in
Hawai- is the same as elsewhere, and
therefore there is mild disagreement,
that satisfies itself with gentle dis
cussion at the club. In time, no doubt.
Hawaii will have it's republican and
democratic parties, but at present the
only party division at all discoverable
is one based on pro and anti mission
airy leanings. And this is so in
definite it can hardly be dignifed with
name, and so misleading as to require
explanation to the Hawaiian
reader. The anti-missionary element
may be described as whites who more
recently immigrated to Hawaii, and
are envious Of the political and COM
mercial pre-eminence of the early
settler descendants. The majority OF
this anti element comprises men of the
smaller business interests-shopkeep
ers, clerks, few of whom have strone
prejudices on the subject. The minor
ity ants, the agitators, who do the
talking at home and supply the news
papers abroad are political aspirants
from the mainland, and a few half
castles of vicious tendencies and ir-
esponsibility.- Weekly.

PIGEON SHOOTING FROM TRAPS.

In view Of the great pigeon-shoOt-
ing matches recently in New jersey.
near New York our dumb animals
publishes the following: "Chas Green
recently shot pigeon that had es-
capped from a demonstrating match
without being shot, with nine pins
stuck in various parts of it's body.
The heartlessness of pigeon-shooting
sport can be better realized when it is
known that at shooting matches pins
are stuck in various parts of the birds
body and in the bottom of it's feet
and up its legs the entire length of
the pin. By this method the pigeon
is so tortured that it will fly rapidly
from the trap when freed. If they
escape, as number of them do, they
do not live more than a month at the
farthest, the pins shriveI their legs
and cause the constant suffering until
death comes to their relief Another
method of torture which is frequently
used in addition to the pins is to cut
the birds toes off, pull their feathers
out, and bite the birds neck enough to
hurt it severely.-Elmer New Jersey
Times.
Geo. T. Angell,-Dear Sir: AS an old
igeOn-shooter, deem it a dutv to the
cause you are so ably fighting, to say
that it was mainly through your eff
forts that tn ecruel practice of pigeon
shooting at traps was stopped in Mass
achusetts, and that the shooting club
Of which [ was member had to close
UP it's business. When Massachusetts,,
largely through your fundamentally,
put a top to this practice on her soil,
We took to Maine. But soon the hori-
ION began to look black for us there,
and the spectre Of Geo. T. Angel and
his Mass. Society began to loom up
before us. We soon realized that you
had given us our final thrust through
the Maine legislature, which drove US
| out of that state, and resulted in the
selling of our guns. Since I have be-
come a reader of your valuable paper
| deem it matter of justice to pay
you this tribute, and to say that
have spoken to several of our old
members since in regard to your work
in this line, and now that they are
away from the eXcitements which this
cruel sport entailed they believe it is
the best thing that could have been
done, both for the pigeons and them

A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.

The duchess of ARGOS was Virginia
Woodbury. Lowery, of Washington, D.
c.. A distinguished ancestor, Daniei
Woodbury., of New England, once held
the position Of secretary Of the treas
ury under Jackson, and was after
wards justice of the supreme court
Montgomery Blair, a cabinet officer
during the administration Of Lincoln,
was of the same family. The roman
tic courtship of the duke and duchess
of ARGOS began over twenty years ago.
At that time he was young Count
Brunette of the Spanish legation IN
Washington, an under secretary, whose
admiration for the beautiful Miss Low
cry resulted in an engagement, to
which the parents objected on account
of the youth Of their daughter, and the
fact that Count BRUNETTE was appointed
to a remote South American post,
where months were required to send a
communication. The engagement was
Of eighteen years duration, and Count
BRUNETTE in that time inherited estates
and a title in Spain. When he re-
turned to Washington he found Miss
Lowery even more beautiful in her ma
turity than when he had left her. Mrs.
Lowery, who was an invalid, died
shortly before the wedding Of her
daughter, which occurred in August,
1895, at the summer home Of the fam
.Iy in New London, Connecticut, and
was quietly celebrated .-Harper's 8a-

MARRIAGE IN PORTO RICO.

Marriage is almost unknown among
the very poor classes, and the distinc-
ton of having the written word and
the blessing of the priest carries with
it no special badge of honor; it is sug-
gestive only of another poor man gone
wrong and grasping padre few
pesos richer. 1t is a much easier mat
ter for man to select his companion
able partner and set up housekeeping
in new wickiup under the banana
trees without more ado. A legal mar
riage by license has less in it which
meets approval in the native mind
than that performed by church func-
tionary, for the padre might always
save them from the hell, while the ma
tons sanction is absolutely a bare
faced robbery. General Grant one day
gave hearing to much-agitated man
who stated that the priest would not
marry him to the woman he loved
without excessive fees, and he prayed
that his Excellency would order the
erring father to marry him at rate
commensurate with the size of his
pocket book. The general sorrowful-
ly told him that he could not pretend
to interfere with the church rulings,
even though his sympathies were
aroused, and suggested he be content
with the legal form which met all the
lawful needs Of our own country, and
pay the small fee to the civil author
tiles. The man glared at him and dis
the manifest cupidity Of
American officials was beyond his pow
er to express in words, -Harper's
