In fond remembrance of Harry d. Trim
lie, who died at his home, near Bay View,
jecil county, Nd, on May 9th, 1900, aged
z years.
noble, manly father,
An obedient, loving son;
A true and faithful husband,
His work on earth is done.
Ever ready, ever earnest
Always eager to respond
TO the call of love or duty,
Brave, courageous, fearless, fond.
How we'll miss his tender counsel
How We'll miss his loving care;
For his true, benevolent nature,
Shed its influence everywhere.
The home will miss his sunny smile,
The babes their fathers warm embrace
And his cherished wife, so lonely,
Will miss his cheerful, loving fuca.
How can we give thee up, Dear Harry?
God pity us, in our distress.
For thou hast promised, in affection,
Not to leave US comfortless.
Heavenly Father, hear this petition,
Bless these lonely hearts of ours
Help us bow in meek submission.
Give us comfort in our sorrows.
Not our will, but Thine be done.

Gen. Otis says that the natives
ssare slowly learning to trust us,
and my idea Of quelling the insu-
rreetiOn is simply to keep serupulous
faith with these people and teach
them to trust us"
He declares there is no rebel
army; nothing but guerrilla bands
skulking about in the mountains, and
that the insurrection ended some
months ago. But he says:
"During the past three months
we have captured more guns than
ever before and most of them were
found in caches, the location Of
tchich had been disclosed to us by
the natives. This is important, for
those under arms have only $4,000
guns altogether, and they have no
money and no means o. procuring
any more when these are gone"

KILLED BY A LION.

Ni1@A~ASlD ID "a I4lON.
Particulars of the horrible death of
c. II. Ryall in Uganda have Just
reached this country. Mr. Ryall was
a promising young district superin-
tendent of police who had lately Join
ed the Mombassa railway from India.
Some few weeks ago he was killed in
his bed in a railway carriage by a lion
II appears that Mr.. Ryall and two
friends stopped in the carriage to
watch for the lion, and Mr.. Ryall had
the first watch. One OF the other
watchers, named Mr. PARENT woke uu
in the night and felt big beast walk
ing on him which woke him, and he
raised his head and rubbed his face
AGAINST the belly. At the time, says
the East Africa and Uganda Mail,
from which we quote the story, the
beast had got its fore paws on Mr.
Ryall's bed, and one hind leg on
Parenti's body. His companions heard
cry from Ryall. PARENT put out his
left hand and tried to get a gun which
was on the table, but he touched the
lion again, so he scrambled up and
jumped out of the window, and hid
behind some bush. Afterwards the
station master and some other men
went to the carriage with a big fire,
and found the door shut. 1t was then
found that Mr.. Ryall was gone. The
carriage with all the blankets and
other things was covered with blood.
At daylight some blood was found on
the outside of the carriage Just under
the window. There was also many
footmarks of the lion and some marks
of lions cubs The other two men are
scarcely yet able to realize the tragic
experience which resulted i'm such a
terrible death for their comrade.-

LAST INDEPENDENT RALLY
THOUSANDS AT KAUMAKAPILI
RUINS.
All the Oahu Candidates of the Party
Made Speeches-Markham the Trai-
tor was Repeatedly Grilled.

The Independents held a mammoth
mass meeting to close the campaign in
front of the ruins of Kaumakapill
church last night. There must have
been at least 1000 people there or more
during the evening. Many of these
were women. Torches throughout the
crowd lighted up the scene, and an al
most full moon, hidden at times by
the clouds gave a picturesque and al
most eerie aspect to the meeting.
Practically all the candidates of the
party from this island were present
and made speeches, and the meeting
did not close until nearly midnight.
Following the close of the Republican
parade, some of the rough riders and
others who marched in that parade,
probably in spirit of eXuberance, and
excitement, came over to the meeting
and tried to force their way through
| it along Beretania street. They in
dulged in a good deal of shouting and
cheering and for a time created some
! disorder. The Independents, however
| held their ground, and barred the way
| of the late marchers, and order was
again soon restored.
James c. Quinn was one of the first
! speakers. Speaking of the desertion
! of Markham he said: why even
Christ, Jesus Christ, couldn't get
| twelve disciples together, but one of
tnem betrayed MIN. Is II any wonder
that some of those we trust should
prove traitors We have had a Judas
Iscariot among us. His name is George
Markham. But his name has been re-
moved from our ticket and the name
of j. Paele placed in it's stead. The
Republicans have made gin flow like
water in their effort to corrupt the
voters. They have used money with
out stint"
John Emmeluth declared that the
missionary Republicans had used
every means possible to corrupt the
voters so as to fasten more securely
than ever the chains of the family
compact and the sugar trust on the
Islands.
Wilcox was the last speaker and he
was received with tumultuous ap-
plause. He defended himself against
the attacks that have been made
against him, and predicted a victory
for the Home Rule party.
One of the transparencies near the
speakers stand bore this inscription,
When We are in and you are out, you
will know how it feels
