President Kruger, sit is quite true

To Remove MIIdew Stains

This is the season when mildew
stains are most troublesome, but they
can be easily conquered even during
the murky midsummer days. To re-
move mildew from linen, mix together
tablespoonful of soft soap with
enough powdered starch to make it
rather thick teaspoonful of salt and
the juice of lemon. Apply to the stain
with a paint brush on both sides of
the linen, and leave the stained article
out on the grass a day and night or
until the spot is removed. Repeat the
process If necessary, but one applica-
uon Will generally prove sufficient.
After the stain has disappeared have
the article thoroughly washed and
dried.

beautiful Her arrival greatly agitated
the chappies, who flocked to the street
meetings. Finally one young blood
made bet that he would secure an ap-
pointment with the beauty for that same
night. and approaching her after the
meeting he slipped into her hand a $50
goldpiece. She put it in her pocket.

Ladies with . Fighting Partner.

A rather curious institution Is arising
in Paris-that of dueling associates of la
dy journalists. On Saturday the lady
known as Nine. Severine, who was III
:imately connected as friend, literary
helper and disciple of NJ. Jules Wales,
contributed an article to The journal,
at which a NJ. Massard a socialist, took
offense. He called on NJ. Xau, the edi-
tor. to ask for satisfaction
1t being impossible to call Mime. Sey.
erine out, the answer was that, in vir-
tue OF fiction adopted for the purpose
of releasing M. Kan from all response
bllity in such cases, Nine. Severine was
supposed to be the joint author with NJ
Labruyere of all her articles. He had
agreed to be answerable for any offense
she might give.
M. Massard then sent seconds to NJ.
Labruyere, who, admitting that he was
the lighting partner of the lady, referred
them to Il couple of male friends. The
duel, which has taken place, was fierce
affair. 1t was fought with foils IN the
second round Nj. Labruyere received a
cut on the chin, but the doctors SAYING
that 1t did not signify, there were five
other rounds. The combat was ended
by Nj. MaSsard running his foil through
the forearm of NJ. Labruyere. Honor
was then declared satisfied, and NJ. La.
bruyere was driven back to Paris. Lon.

HAWAII'S POPULATION.

The proposition pending in Washing
ton for the admission of Hawaii as a
territory of the United States on sim
liar terms with Alaska and not as
colonial dependency of the United
States, as is the case with Porto Rico,
has received much support, and one of
the arguments advanced in favor of it
is that Hawaii has now more than the
usual population of territory. By the
census taken in 1897 the total popula-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands was 109,-
600 and as there has been a considerable
increase in population as well as in
trade since the formal annexation of
the islands in 1898 the present popula-
ton is certainly in excess of ITO, 600 and
probably considerably more than that.
Alaska was purchased from Russia in
1867, and it's population was estimated
then at $4,000. By the census of 1880
it was $4,000 and in 1890 it was g., 0OO
There is no established provision re-
curing a stated population for a terri
tory as a prerequisite to organization
as such by congress, and a majority of
the territories organized had at the
time considerably less population than
Hawaii is known to have at present.
Minnesota was organized as a territory
Git became a state in 1859 in 1S49, and it
had by the first census succeeding it's
admission a population of only 5000
Utah became a territory in 1850 and it
had at the time population of only
IL. 900. Oregon was organized as a ter
rltOry in 1S4S and it had at the time
population of only 1900. Its growth
afterward was rapid and it had more
than $4,000 population ten years later
Colorado was organized as territory
in 1851 and it had at the time popula-
ton of 10000. Twenty years later the
population of Colorado was 200 OOO
Arizona was organized as a territory in
1863 and had at the time a population
of about 1000. New Mexico, which,
with Arizona, has been for a number
of years a claimant for admission to
statehood. was ORGANIZED in 1850 with
a population of 10000 Wyoming at the
first federal census after its admission
had 5000 population, Idaho Is, 600, Wash
ington 1,000 Dakota, including the
present states of North and South Da-
kota, 1880. Nebraska $4,000, and Kan
sas, organized as a territory in 1854 and
| admitted as a state in 1881, 107 900.
II has been found usually that unor-
ganized regions of the country, when
| they receive stable government under
| congressional authority, increase in
population with great rapidity and that
whatever reasons were urged against
organization at first do not stand the
test of growth in population and re-

Without receiving any orders whatever
to that effect, but as if controlled by a
unanimous impulse, they suddenly shifted
their lances to the bride hand and charg

desperate and sustained that the Sikh
square had to be ridden through again
and yet again ere they were finally de-
stroyed and dispersed. Since that proud
day of the Sikh campaign the regiment
has had many magnificent officers. and
Sir D c. Drury-I-owe gave the corps the
highest possible character during his ten
ure of the Aldershot cavalry command.

have been spelling to go to the front,
