He Was a Hero.

Joe Dillon who, at latest advices,
was in the hands of the Filipinos,
being caught in an ambuscade with
other sailors of the Yorktown, was
at one time a big man, in fact a hero.
During the terrible hurricane at
Apia in the latter part Of the
eighties Joe I'illon, then a sea
man on the Nipsic, swan at ashore
with life line aud succeeded in saw
ing the lives of numerous comrades
on board the ship which escaped
with small damage while the Wanda
liza went down and horrible tragedy
took place. The Nip-ic eventually
reached Honolulu, aud here Joe
Dillon realized that bis expected
enjoyGent of another chance on
board naval ship did not come UP
to the days gone by, and he remain:
ed in Honolulu until the bugles
again called for men to do battle
OF course he went 10 the front anC

able to "do" his capt ors, shave the II

We may laugh when we read a
statement to the effect that Prince
Henry of Prussia will establish a
monarchy in a portion of China
backed by German bayonets, and
that Prince Waldemar will hold
down a throne in China under the
protection of his Russian kinsman.
We may smile at the idea that Great
Britain should send Prince to rule
over her portion Of China, and we
do not believe it possible that the
division of China is contemplated
and that European "branch. monar
chies" will be established in China
which will cease to remain an indie
pendent country and Empire.

hia arduous duties as chief executive Of
on OF the largest state 10 the union.
Governor Stone Is one O. the men who
have voluntarily retired from national
politics to become the governor Of his
state. This is not common In the smaller
states, like Maino where seat In Con-
gress Is priced above any state Office. Hut

could be seen of the harbor from Fort
Allen Park, visiting the house where
Longfsllow was born aud lived. and
