In last weeks Larimore Pioneer
there appeared an editorial in ad-
vocacy of changing the name of
Devils Lake to something more sp-
propriate. The Pioneer doesn't
suggest what shall be substituted
for the present title, but is quite
positive that Devils Lake is not a
fitting name for the beautiful body
of water on the banks of which
the North Dakota Chautauqua has
established itself. The Pioneer
says that the Devil is not COM
monty referred to in polite society
by his vulgar name, declares that
the term CRATES harshly upon the
ear, sounds uncouth, and impress
ses strangers unfavorably. The
Grand Forks Herald also wants
the name changed to something a
little less sinister. Now what do
the Chautauquans think about it
themselves? We shall be glad to
register in these columns opinions
briefly expressed. Shall it con-
tinue to be called Devils Lake, or
shall that title be dropped for
something less suggestive but
prettier? Speak up, friends.
This evening Mrs. Holley, of
Bismarck, who wrote the first his

BRYAN AND FREE SILVER.
A. S. Barber, Jr., Secretary.
Newark, June %, 1900.

The National Democratic conven-
ton at Kansas City was dominated
by the Free Silver and Populistic
element of the party. Hence as
expected, Bryan was nominated last
night with hurrah.
As we go to press, Hill, of New
York, Stevenson, of Illinois, and
Towne, OF Minnesota, have been
placed in nomination for the vice.

peremptorily.

plank was bitter from beginning to

HAWAII AS A TERRITORY.
Rev. John P. Erdman Writes an In
teresting Letter From Honolulu.

Jer6Sblug heGCer from honolulu.
In recent letter from the Rev.
Jno. P. Erdman, of Honolulu, he
speaks of the annual conference of
the pastors and christian workers in
the Hawaiian Islands. and of the
prosperous condition of the churches,
and missionary efforts. His letter in
part follows:
"All the various nationalities were
represented, Hawaiians, Chinese,
Japanese, Portuguese and whites. A
very enjoyable tea-party was given by
the ladies of the Honolulu churches at
the close of the conference.
81 was honored last week by meet
ing two celebrities and on Thurs
day accompanied the native Hawaiian
pastors, who went to pay respects to
ex-Queen Lilioukalani, who has just
returned from Washington. 1t was
very interesting. for there were a
good many of her old retainers and
friends present. The old natives
would approach her, bowling low,
take her hand and kiss it,, We, of
course, didn't do that, but simply
were introduced shook hands and re-
treated.
1.-THE ex-Queen is woman of small
stature, well proportional (having
lost good deal of flesh the past year,
and dignified, with strong face, full
of determination. She speaks perfect
English. On the side piazza, during
our presentation, an old native was
singing a song, recounting the names
of the former sovereigns and royal
line. It was wierd tune, almost a
wall. The poor natives feel sad at
having no longer reigning sover-
eign. The changed conditions. I'm
doubtedly are all for the best, though
one can hardly help feeling a good
deal of sympathy for the natives
"The other celebrity whom I met last
week and with whom I had the pleas
ure of dining, was President Dole,
a quiet unassuming handsome man.
Son June Ia, will be Admission
Day, celebrating the admission of
Hawaii as territory of the United
States.
''Mr.. Dole will then take the oath
as governor of the new territory, and
other officials will be sworn in.
President Mckinley has been very
wise and just in all his appointments
here, selecting the best men as state
officials under the new regime. Of
course, there are kickers, but the
best element in the islands is well
pleased, and all the signs are hopeful
for increasing prosperity and the
welfare of the people. -

WAS A FORMER DEMOCRAT.

The inquiry was abroad last week
among many New Jersey Republicans
as to who was #. p Olcott, the state
representative on the resolutions COM
mite in the National convention. Al
dinner in Philadelphia that gentle
man is reported to have made a witty
speech, in which he said he was once
a Democrat, and still believed in the
principles of that party as held years
ago, but was so opposed to Organism
that he had left the party never to re,
turn. Mr.. Olcott is president of g
New York trust company, and desert
ed the Democracy four years ago. His
promotion in the Republican ranks has
been rapid, and it is hoped that in time
he will cease to believe in the Dem
ocracy of Cleveland and his coterie. =

REAR ADMIRAL PHILIP.

The death of Rear Admiral John W.
Philip, commandment of the Brook
Ign Navy Yard, which occurred there
on Saturday last removed from the
naval roster one of the best officers
who ever issued an order or walk
ed the quarter deck.
Captain Jack Philip as he was
affectionately called by his men was
in command of the battleship Texas
during the Spanish war and
the important part he took in the des-
truction of Cervera's feet off Santiago
is known throughout the United States
The hero of the ship named after the
Lone STAR state needed no "boost-
ing' in the eye of the public as to
the part he and his gallant crew took
in that memorable conflict.
The nobility of his character was
manifested after the Spanish boats
had been destroyed and the happy
jackies on the Texas set up ring
ing cheer, which the brave comman-
der silenced with the words now IA
nous, Don't cheer boys, because the
poor devils are dying"
Admiral Philip was an earnest
Christian, a brave, tender hearted
officer and true gentleman. His ac-
tion has also become historical when
after the great victory, he assembled
his men about him, ON the quarter
deck and with bowed head, said as he
bowed in prayer.
II want to make public acknowledge
ment that / have implicit faith in
God and in the officers and crew of the
Texas but my faith in you is second
airy only to my faith in God. We
have seen what He has done for us. in
allowing us to achieve SO great vic
tory, and want to ask you all, or at
least every man who has no scruples
to uncover his head with me and ST.
lently offer word of thanks to God
for His goodness towards us all. -
When visited on the Texas shortly
after his return from Cuban waters

but the fact that we owed so much
to our Heavenly Father SO l Just

believed then as now that He over
ruled all that was done by the
enemies of our country,
Admiral Philip is dead, but his
name will always be revered by his
countrymen as the hero of the battle
ship Texas Many tear will doubt
less be dropped and many prayer
offered by the side of his grave in
Arlington, for faith as strong and
lasting as that manifested by brave

Although the limit men had two
minutes start they could not hold their
owu-for long and were all passed by
scratch men before Bernardsville was
reached. ~
The riders were all pretty well
punched for the first five miles. The
pace was terrific and they flew past
the umpires at speed which made it
hard to distinguish the numbers.
On the last five miles they got strung
out pretty we'll and Louis Richman
was leading by an eighth of a mile at
least when he passed All Souls 'hospi-
tai. But at this point he punctured
a tire. and rode in fat. However,
by hard work he maintained the lead
and finished winner by twenty five
yards.
His closest competitor for nine
miles was Ferguson, but at All Souls
hospital he lost tire and had to drop
out. He was pushing along at q high
speed mp to that point and might have
won out only for the accident.
The winners and their prizes were

The second time prize, pair of

The third time prize, Baldwin gas

After the finish Richman was pro-
