We are told that Thurston and
Colburn are the purchasers of the
Grieye printing plant, and that
Walter G.. Smith is the man who
will furnish the pen sketches and
brain to the new concern. We hope
that the rumor is correct for once
and that Thurston at last will ap-
pear publicly with his 'partner."
Colburn and Thurston will make an
excellent team. They were not
strangers in 1898.
We have frequently referred to
the ambiguous manner in which the
citizenship Of Hawaiian is referred
to in the territorial bills, and we have
expressed some concern in regard to
the definition OF the words "a citi-
zen of the Republic of Hawaii" The
following definition Is undoubtedly
correct. The persons who were citi-
zsns of the Republic of Hawaii on
August IL, 1898, are defined in Arti-
Gle IL OF the Constitution OF Hawaii:
"ARTIoLE 17-All persons born or
naturalizsd in the Hawaiian Islands
and subject to the Jurisdiction OF
the Republic are citizens thereof"
This includes all who we're sub
jscts under the monarchy and all
who became citizens OF the Republic.

The Bitter Bit.

One day a detective was in an auc
tion room where fake" jewelry was
being sold. A lot of watches were of
fered-cheap, worthless affairs, but got
I'D to look like solid gold. They were
knocked down for two dollars and tif-
teen cents apiece, and the detective
noted that they were bought by con-
fidence man who had given the police
a lot of trouble. Two months later the
detective met him and asked what he
had done with the watches. The scoun-
drel explained his scheme. He had
hired a room, put in desk and few
chairs, and made himself up to look
like an old man. Then he inserted an
advertisement in various papers, some
thing like this: "Found-A solid gold
watch-Elgin works. Apply" etc.
Nearly every smart thief in town an
swered the advertisement, claimed the
watch and paid ten dollars for 'costs."

collection of relics at the library, a map
Of the United States. made IN the year
1896. The map was found In an Old
book shop at Philadelphia, and was for
merly the property of a gentleman who
was for years In the employ of the fed
eral government. 1t is made from cop
per plates and Is mounted on heavy
tAen. On the chart Ohio is a territory
with rather vague outlines. Cleveland
is not to be found, and Cincinnati is
designated as Fort Washington. San
dusky is the only city of any great prom
inence. The eastern states are shown
with substantially the same boundaries
as they have to-day. Georgia extends
as far west as the Mississippi river, and
the southern portion of Florida is ap-
parently unknown. Lake Michigan is
much too narrow and Lake Huron Is
far too broad. At the lower corner is a
