TESTING BUTTER sv PHOTO.

State chemist J, A. Hummel has hit
upon a new scheme which. he thinks.
will surely bring the butterine dodg-
ers to time. by combination OF
erisms, microscopes and lenseiess
camera with a sensitive plate. Mr..
Aummel has developed a plan which
must show the difference between but
ters and pseudo buffers to every ANA
teur eye at a moments glance. Thus.
1t is hoped. the photographs will carry
weight with n jury where chemical
formuiae failed. When asked to ex-
plain the process OF examination by
Photographic methods. Mr.. Hummel
said: The simple fact 10 be eonsid-
cred Is that pure butter an made In
the dairies or a, the creamery con-
iaihs only amorphoas fat. Any heat
Ing process such as is followed Ia rem

dia,ely generates fat crystals. In the

that III. light rays cannot, pass

Now We push the tube Of camera d.

.ROYALIST ELECTED.
Hawaii Chooses Robert W. Wilcox
as Delegate to Congress.
The Contest Developed Bitter Race War
and White Citizens Are CIanOrinE for
q Property Qualification-FrIends
of Ex-Queen In Majority.

Honolulu. Nov. via San Francisco,
Nov. 17.-Robert W. Wilcox, the indie
pendent royalist candidate, has been
elected Hawaiian delegate to congress
by small majority over Samuel Par
ker, the republican candidate. His
strong vote among the natives in the
outside districts carried the day
against the whites and the inteIIi-
gent native voters of the cities The
result of the election produced much
depression among all whites, as Will
cox was strongly opposed by repub-
Hcans and democrats alike. His cam
paign was an anti-white canvass, with
promises on the part of some of his
campaign workers that if he were
elected, Queen Liliuokalani would be
replaced on the throne. The result of
the vote shows the native bitterness
over annexation to be still alive.
The independent party has carried
the house of representatives by a
large majority. In the senate there
will be seven republicans, eight in
dependents and one democrat. With
the independents in control, a lively
session is expected as they are against
the ruling regime. 1t is likely as
a result of the election that congress
will be asked to establish some linn
itations upon the voting privilege.
| Many of the whites want a property
qualification for voters. 1t is argued
that in voting upon a simple color line
many of the natives have shown
themselves unfit for universal suf-
frage.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Gov. Dole Says the Native Race Is Gradu-
ally Growing Less Taxes aud
Commerce.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The decrease
of the Hawaiian race has been steadily
growing less for the past several
decades, especially the female popu-
lation, according to the annual re-
port of ex-President Sanford B. Dole,
governor of Hawaii. The Increase of
part Hawaiians tends to keep down
the number OF the pure Hawaiians.
The ex-president reports that there
is reason to expect that annexation
is going To influence Hawaiian char
acter very favorably through the
changed conditions effected. The po-
itical privileges they enjoy in COM
mon with other American citizens,
he says, will tend to educate them in
public affairs.
The total valuation of real and per-
sonal property in Hawaii subject to
ad valorem assessment in 1900 is $97,-
491,584. The receipts from taxes are
estimated at $1,341 $50. The com
merce of Hawaii is shown for the pc
Rod between January 1 and June IA,
1900, as follows: Imports, $1O,683,-
SIG; exports, $14,4O4, 496; customs

SCHOOL FOR EVERY CHILD.
National WOman's Council Adopts Reso-

Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov. 1.-THE
National Woman's council finished it's
work after long executive session.
The most important resolution adopt
ed was one which recited that it had
been reported on reputable authority
that the social evil is licensed in the
Philippines by our government and
protected by it's officers. It was re-
solved to ask the government imme-
diately to investigate this report and
if found true to abolish the ruinous
system of vice. Another resolution
declares that not dollar raised by
public tax should be appropriated to
sectarian schools and that the state
or nation should support enough in
situations of learning to afford every
child in the land an opportunity for
good common school education.
