OPENING THE CHURCHES.

Another ray of light in our dark
cloud comes with the opening of the
churches. 1t shows that the Board of
Health has become satisfied that it has
the plague well in hand and that though
sporadic cases may spring up, the CEN
ter of infection has been swept away
and that we may safely look forward
to a speedy end of our troubles.
To very large number of people the
opening of the churches will be mat
ter of great rejoicing, for the assem-
bling together in public worship affords
them real spiritual comfort. OF course,
when under the trying circumstances
which we have lately undergone, public
worship has been denied, private wor-
ship is not denied, nor have the minis
trations of the priests and clergy in the
homes of their Pensioners been in the
slightest degree interfered with.
The clergy of the city, in this respect,
deserve great credit. They accepted
the necessity of closing the churches,
without a murmur. The use of the
churches for the homeless was rendered
by several denominations, though only
one church was accepted for this pur-
pose. Priests and clergy have united
in giving aid at the detention and re-
lief camps both night and day and have
shown themselves worthy of their ex-
elusive calling.
The various congregations will meet
tomorrow under happier auspices than
when they dissolved nearly a month
ago. They will meet with the knowl-
edge of having during the period of
parting, been engaged in worthy work
for the benefit of the homeless and the
unfortunate. 1t has been true Christian
work, done in an unobtrusive, gentle
manner, showing the influence of that
greatest of virtues-charity. For char
ity with us has not regarded persons,
or nationalities or creeds, but has had
a broad cloak for all. And all congre-
cations can unite in thanking God for
having given them good and tender
hearts.

THE COMING LEGISLATURE.

The political struggle here for some
considerable time to come will not be
on the party lines of Republicans and
Democrats but rather upon the lines
of enlightened craftsmanship for the
advancement of the territory, and the
efforts of demagogues to make things
run for their own personal ends. In
this opinion not only Republicans, but
many men who are Democrats quite
agree. The struggle may prove a bit
ter one, but in all history there is only
one end to such efforts the enlighten-
ed craftsmanship, though it may be
thwarted for a time, will eventually
prevail, and the demagogues who flour
ish and get the notoriety that their
souls love, gradually fade out of sight
and are no more remembered than u
last weeks dream.
The great question which is now agi-
tating all those who look for a moment
into the future, is the assembling or
the Legislature. Under what circum-
stances will it be assembled is the ques-
ton, or will it be assembled at all?
Viewed from our own standpoint with
appropriations running out, and with
public works coming to a stand still
for lack of funds-as, for instance, the
Beretania street school house. which
the contractor does not quite see MS
way to completing save out of his own
pocket and then relying, on a vote from
the Legislature or Departments
threatened with lack of efficiency
through the curtailment of pay rolls-as
has very nearly been the case in the
Customs Bureau, and will be after
March unless some relief is given-the
calling together of a Legislature seems
imperative. Viewed however from the
standpoint of Washington, none of
these needs may look very grave. 1t is
a long distance from the mid-Pacific
to the capital of the Great Republic,
and the perspective Of questions be-
comes very different.
But indications are that the President
will, unless the Hawaiian bill now be-
fore Congress is very near passing, ind
a way out of our difficulties by calling
together our old Legislature There
will be a great deal of work to be done,
and the chances are that the questions

CHINA'S EMPEROR.

The Japanese papers seem to agree
that the late Emperor of China has been
removed from this earthly sphere by

Imperial Demesne in Picking matters
very little to the outside world, and
probably to the Chinese themselves, as
long as one puppet Emperor succeeds
anRher. But what concerns the sur
rounding nations is the perpetuation of
Chinese eXclusiveness which the dow
ager Empress has so dearly at heart
The great question of course is the
matter of trade. The Chinese markets
are the goal of every manufacturing
nation. Even with the vast volume of
trade which pours into China from
Great Britain the United States, Ger
many, France and Russia, there has
been really only a nibble at the wants
of the teeming millions of the interior
of China. How important the trade is
has been shown of late by the jealousy
displayed towards the United States
since her success in the Philippines has

Does the perpetuatiOn of the power
of the Empress Dowager mean more
friendly relations with Russia, and a
steady attempt to thwart the trade of
the Western world? 1t certainly means
the suppression as much as possible of

whom, much of the prejudice against
orientals might be gradually reduced.
Some extremely strong motive must

vernacular press makes a guess at the
reasons, but does not reveal them.

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features, she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity
in her step, the ring Of her voice, her
enjoyment of life-all these are mag
nets which draw others to her side.
Wonderful and valuable as it is, health
is not so difficult thing to obtain as
some discouraged ones think. Most
Of the troubles Of women arise from
impure blood, impaired nutrition, low
vitality and general debility. Modern
science furnishes the most successful
ofremediesf for this ondition-namely
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION.
1t is palatable as honey and contains
the nutritiVe and curative properties
Of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us
from fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup Of Hypophos-
phites and the extracts Of Malt and
Wild Cherry. Taken before meals it
improves the appetite, makes fat, re-
stores vitality, enriches the blood and
cures those weaknesses peculiar to the
sex, which are the seat Of their troub-
les. 1t is a blessing to Tired Wives,
Nursing Mothers and Girls growing
into womanhOod. 1t colors the pale
faces and rounds out the hollow chests.
In word, it nourishes and develops
the entire body and brings happy sur
prises to feeble, hopeless and dis
couraged sufferers. "Dr. y. j. Boyes
says; l have found it a preparation
of great merit In a recent case
patient gained nearly twenty pounds
in two months treatment, in which
it was the principal remedial agent"
1t is the typical medicinal success of
our age, and remedy which acts in
harmony with natures own efforts
and processes. Effective from the first
dose. "You cannot be disappointed

A communication has been received
commencing the position taken by The
Star, and afterwards by the Citizens
Sanitary Committee, that it is unwise
at the present time to reopen the public
schools. The writer points out forci-
bly, the objections to the re-opening at
this time This with other expressions
of opinion to the same effect shows that
the position taken by The Star, and
since adopted by the Board of Health,
meets with the approval of public opin-

schemes of Diamond thieves.
From the New York Telegraph.


Probably there are more ingenious
thieves in Kimberley than in any city
of its size in the world, and they are all
after diamonds. One day a FrenchInan
appeared ut Kimberley. He wore boots
fitted with Partisan heels, two inches or
more in hight A trifing matter of
been seen talking confdentially with a
native woman directed attention to him.
His boot heels were hollow and flied
with diamonds.
There was a man well known about
Kimberley who used to go to Europe three
or four times n year. He always had q
magnificent Great Dane with him. One
night at a Kimberley club, while the
master was playing billiards, his dog
kept digging az himself with his hind leg.
On looking at the sore spot long slit
was found in the dogs skin sewn with
silk. The threads were cut and out drop
ped a diamond. Wten the dogs hair
was shaved off it was found that his
body was literally covered with the scars
of incisions In which diamonds had been
placed and Struggled QUE OF the country
Most dramatic was the incident of a
man named Travers, who was well known
as a successful runner of diamonds.

He was desperate character and, tnere-
fore, when he left Kimberley with a largs
amount of valuable stones, eight men
were told Off 10 bring him back. Start

him go.
Some few months later he died Of a
fever in England and an old diamond
broker In Cape Town said to one of his
would-be captors: "Ah, he was a great
man! He leaves lots OF money. DO you

ton of property and especially with break
ing of coppers, are complicated, and often
difficult to comprehend. The ordinary
traveller or dweller amongst the Indians
seldom arrives al an accurate conception
OF their customs, but many of the ngu-
lar ways of the Northwest Coast Indians,
and especially of the Kwakiutl, have been
studied by DR.. Franz Boas, Of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, and
hence information about them is more
definite than 1t formerly was
The customs are not modern. They find
their origin far back in that mysterious
past of the North American continent
which is the great riddle OF our time. The
copper and the rites and ceremonies con-
nected with ii are as novel and interesting
as some of the ceremonials of the Aztecs,
so brilliantly pictured by Prescott. In their
art work the Indians of the Northwest
coast show some striking similarities to
the Aztecs, but, of course. this does not
prove any direct relationship.
The copper is very peculiar. II always
has approximately the same form, though
it varies greatly in value, which depends
not at all on the instrinsic worth of the
metal any more than the value of one of
our bank notes depends on the intrinsic
worth of the paper it is composed of.
The copper is made from comparatively
thin sheet metal, now Obtained from the
whites, but formerly a native product.
In shape it somewhat resembles an or
binary American ak with an elongated
head and the sharp edge for the top. This
