''It is probable that to the town of Douglass, Massachusetts, alone be- longs the reputation of having d haunted apple tree," writes Samuel s. Kingdom, in the August Ladies' Home Journal. ''The tradition of the town is that foul murder was com mitted in the orchard many years ago, and that since then it has been haunted by the spirit of the victim. As the story goes, a peddler, whose custom it was to sell goods from house to house from pack, laid down to rest at midday under a tree in the orchard, and before the day was end ed he was found with a cruel gash in the neck from which his life blood had ebbed away. Suspicion rested on the owner of the orchard and he was said to have been constantly followed by the spirit of the victim. In an attempt to escape from its dreaded presence he moved away. Then the apparitiOn became terror to allwho had occasion to pass over the road at night. So potent was it's influence standing, as it had a habit of doing, under the apple tree, with one hand at it's throat and the other extended as though seeking aid, and uttering shrill cries that could be heard half d mile away-that the location of the highway was changed and it

These newly coined dol lars are not issued, however, but certificates are put out in stead.

POLITICS AND CRUELTY.
Campaign Meetings Lead to Overdriv-
ing of Hack Horses

WAILUKU, October 13.-Yesterday
was a big day for hacks in Waikiki,
but it seems that one of the most cry
ing needs of Waikiki is a society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals.
At least a half dozen drivers should
have been landed behind the bars yes
terday. In their efforts to get as many
passengers as possible from the train
up to the Republican meeting, the
drivers dashed their horse into mad
gallop, and this was kept up all of the
afternoon, until some of the horses were
simply exhausted In the evening the
same horses were put in for the trip
to Waihee to the Democratic meeting,
and the same tactics ensued. Coming
back from Waihee late, some of the
same horses were driven to Lahaina
this morning with hardly any rest be-
tween.
A number of the hack drivers were
very much under the influence of liquor,
and should have been removed from
their hacks, as they were totally unfit
to drive anything, and it was but a
miracle that several bad accidents did
not occur

M'KlNLEYs CENSORSHIP.


The censor lat Manilal was in
structed to cut out anything that might
hurt the administration. His instruc-
tons were to allow nothing to pass him

This charge has been made by Sena-
tor Pettigrew Of South Dakota in the
senate Of the United States.
The leaders of both parties have
known for a long time that such was
the object Of the censorship. and the
newspaper correspondents at Manila
were told by General Otis and the GEN.
scr that this rule would be enforced.

Later, when there was additional

that the correspondents were guilty of

TRAVELLING MEMS ATTITUDE


Commercial travellers are holding
conventions in all the leading cities Of
the eastern states from time 10 time to
protest against the trust-fosiering ad-
ministration. which IS permitting pet
banks and favorite corporations to rob
the government and fleece the people.
Before the trust era there were more
than 800 600 commercial travellers in this
country. one of the most energetic and
influential clubs that worisd for the
election of William Mckinley in 1896.
Hundreds and thousands of them IN all
sections are being cast out Of employ
ment on the pretext that consolidation
which does away with competition
makes it possible TO dispense with their
sefviees, a Iessening Of expense the
benefit Of which was promised to con-
sumers.
But what is the result Of throwing
these statesmen out Of employment?
without cheapening goods in the least,
for in almost every line controlled by
the trusts prices have been raised TO
the conauIneT-the hotels are deprived
of their best customers ard the farmers
and gardeners and butchers are injured
in their respective lines in proportion
to the loss of the hotels.

IRISH REGIMENTS.

The fact that there are in the British
army al present seven full regiments
Of Irish soldiers was mentioned in
these columns the other day. TiHs an
nouneement has called forth two com
munieations. neither of which it is
necessary TO print, one inquirine the
names Of the Irish regiments and the
localities from which they are re-
eruited. and the other intimating that
with Irish sympathies for the Beers
as shown. not only by the utteranees
Of Irish civilians but in the letters Of
Irish soldiers" the English command
els VIII hardly dare to place them in
poSEs of responsibility.
in answer TO the first inquiry: There
are seven regiments Of Irishmen in the
British army, all Of which were re-
eruited before England's policy Of sub
Iussting white republics had been in
augurated- Almost to a man they were
recruited in J~e territorial districts
whose names they bear. These
regiments are the Inniski1liug Flu
sileers. the Connaught Rangers,
the Royal Dublin Fusileers. the
Royal irish Fusneers. the Roy
Al Munster Fusiieers, the Eoysf
Irish regiment, and TIE Royal Irish
Rifles. 1t is said that these orsani-
cations are freer from any ad mixture
Of foreign blood than any other seven
regiments in the army. And there are
Irishmen scattered through the other
regiments. as well.
In response TO the unwarrahted in
situation in the second communication:
the irish are true to the colors under
which they enlist That they would
not have enlisted TO fight the Beers is
gust as certain as it is that the Arneri-
can volunteers would not have enlisted
