"The Democrats of Delaware are unit

for Bryan by handsome majority. There
are no gold men or silver men. We are
simply plain Democrats. Fifty per cent
of the Gold Democrats of four years ago

Lake on Mountain Top.

Far down in Southwestern Arizona,
near Sonora, on the Mexican border,
there is a range of mountains which
appears to have but one face of hard,
smooth granite. The top of this bunch
of mountains is in the form of a gigan-
tic basin. Here the rainfall has been
gathering for ages, until quite an ex-
tensive lake is the result.
The overthrow tumbles into another
basin below, and SO on through a
series of nine, the last one being near
the ground and on the direct road
from Yuma to Sonora. The lower
tanks are easy of access and are often
drained by travelefs and animals.
The great upper tank can only be
approached by circuitous and difficult
climbing. To stranger standing be-
low, the upper lake, of course, has no
existence. In that plain below are
over 200 graves. Scores of human
beings, furnishing for water, have ex-
pended their last strength in reaching
this spot, only to find the lower tanks
dry; and, ignorant Of the great upper
lake, where thousands of gallons were
to be had for a little climbing, have
laid down in despair to die. Later
travellers passing have buried the un-
knowns' remains. and always marked
the grave, Mexican fashion, by q cross
of stones.

HAWAIIAN BILL SIGNED,
Provides For a Complete Form Of Gov,
eminent For the Islands.
REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS.

The New Governments Established when
tho President Signed the BILLIE Con.
sists Of . Governor, a Legislature and q
Judiciary - Hawaii Will Have One
Representative In Congress.
WAsH1NaToN, D. @. (Speclal).-The now
Government Of the Hawaiian Islands was
established at 1910 O'Clock Monday, whom
the President signed the Hawaiian Govern
ment bill.
The measure provides for a complete
form Of government for the islands, with
q Governor and other executive officers,
q Legislature oil. two branches, and a judi
oial branch, consisting Of a Supreme Court.
Circuit Courts. and inferior courts.
It also provides that Hawaii shall be
represented In Congress by a delegate,
who shall have a seat in the House Of Rep.
resentatives. with q right to debate, but
not q vote. This delegate Is to be chosen
at an election by the people.
1t Is provided that stthe portion Of the
public domain heretofore known as Crown
land Is hereby declared to have been, on
August II, 1898, and prior thereto, the
property OF the Hawaiian Government, and
~ No AAVO 0uu CA0dI HUH huy tIuSt u OE
concerning the same, and from all claim OF
any nature whatsoever, upon the rents,
issues and profits thereof. It shall be sub
iec! to alienation and other uses as may be
provided by law"
The regulation of the traffic In alcoholic
liquors Is left to local option. The Chinese
on the islands are given one year in which
to obtain certificates of registration. The
amount OF lands to be held by q
tion Is restricted to 1000 acres. Provision
is also made, by which the laws Of the
United States In relation to seamen are ex-
tended to Hawaii.
There is no tariff provision in the bill,
as the tariff laws OF the United States are
extended over the Islands, and the Terrific
~ OF Hawaii is specifically made "a Gus.
toms district OF the United States" with
ports Of entry at Honolulu, Hilo, Mahuko-
ma and Kahului.
When Hawaii was annexed to this coun.
try, 1t had a bonded debt of about 4,000.-
600. drawing q heavy rate OF interest. This
debt still exists, but under the act signed
by the President, it is to be assumed by the
United States.
Secretary Gage will soon send money
and Treasury agents to Hawaii to ex-
change the Hawaiian for the American
currency. It Is understood that there is
1000, 600 In minor coins In Hawaii, which
Will have to be exchanged for currency Of
this country. The gold coin of Hawaii Is
practically all gold of this country, and
Will not have to be exchanged.

Small OIL Mills,

One Of the most promising Of all in
dustrial developments of the South is
the establishment of individual or
neighborhood cotton Oil mills to con-
sumo the cot.onseed produced in the
immediate vicinity. These neighbor-
hood cotton mills have proved very
successful wherever they have been
built. The writer calls to mind n
such mill owned and operated by the
planters themselves that pays a divi.
dend of from twenty to twenty-five per
cent. annually. This mill only con-
sumes the cottonseed that may be
hauled to it in wagons. It is kept in
operation scarcely two months during
the year, yet every planter who has
stock in the mill gets an annual divi.
dend of 500 to $25 on each 800 worth
of stock that he owns. In addition to
this profit, he gets good prices for his
cottonseed without shipping it, and he
is able to provide himself with cheap
oilcake and bulls for his cattle during
the winter .-Philadelphia Ledger.

The Force of Heredity.

A college professor in Maine tells
how he convinced o friend, who did
not believe that beavers could build
dams. He bought a baby beaver Of a
hunter and sent it to his skeptical
friend.
The creature became a great pet in
the house. but showed no signs of
wanting to build a dam, until one
Monday morning a leaky pail, full of
water was put on the floor of the back
kitchen. The beaver was there. He
was only 9 baby to be sure, but the
moment he saw the water oozing out
of a crack in the pail he scampered
into the yard, brought in a chip and
began his work.
His owner was called and watched
the little fellow, very much astonished
at what he saw. He gave orders to
have the pail left where it was, and
the Industrious beaver kept at his
work four weeks, when he had built a
solid dam all around the pail.-Ani-
