were packed with a mass of humanity
which spoke volumes for the following
which the Republican party has In Ho-
nciuiu, and indicates its strength on Oa-
hu. Members OF the Young Mems Repub-

She was on her bed, where she had

smell of death was in the room. Her
jaw had dropped and her eyes were
uprolled and staring. Those who were
about the bedside told me she had
quiyered and passed away There was,

prlftwood from Many Seas.

From the Chicago Times-Herald,
One of the greatest curiosities noted by
travellers in Alaska is the wonderful
haven of driftwood on the coast be-
tween Yakatag and Kyak Islands, some
twelve hundred or fifteen hundred
miles northeast from Seattle. The con-
slant deposit of logs and driftwood in
this particular spot, which has been
going on for hundreds, perhaps thous-
ands of years, is due to the phenomena
of the tides, the Pacific gulf stream,
the mysterious ocean currents, and the
peculiar formation of the shore lines
at that point. Logs and timbers are
readily identified there as having come
from Japan, China, India and other
parts of Asia, as well as from Califor-
mia, Washington and other parts of
the American continent. There are fine
logs of the camphor tree, the mahog-
any, the redwood and the pine in this
driftage. Some of those from the state
of Washington contain the names of
the men who felled the trees and the
sawmills for which they were destined
but never reached. Logs eight feet in
diameter are IT. this novel woodward.
and some entire trees $50 feet long are
there. uplifted by the roots. cast i.to

Minette, the Two-Legged Cat.

Among the ManXmen a cat without
a tail is nothing unusual. Here in
America one can sometimes see a cat
with a bob-tailed appearance, due to
too great curiosity concerning some
machinery. Cats with Topped ears and
yet tuneful voices abound. But this
is the tale of a cat of Chicago. This
cat has two ears and one tail, but is
short of the forefeet. In fact, Min
cite, as she is called, never possessed
more than two feet, having come into
the world thus robbed of her true pro-
portions. Minette, is the property of
August Sternberg of Lake View. She
is not only a great pet, but very
dignified member of the Sternberg
family. The proprietor of the place
Of business and home in North Clark
street is quite an antiquarian and
curio collector, but he prizes his two
legged cat over all his other queer
things. He is a Swede and has nu-
merous implements of war once used
by his racemen, but while these have
histories and are valued relics the cat
is the thing. Minette herself, robbed
of half her locomotive powers, is 9TH
erwise a perfectly formed feline. Re-
Gently she surprised the family by
giving birth to a litter of kittens, all
of whom are perfectly formed and shy
no piece Of their anatomy as laid
down for members of the tribe. They
are small, bright-eyed, swift OF mo-
ton and playful as any ordinary kit
tens and seem to have no undue sense
of Importance because of the distinc-
ton of their dam. This distinction is
purely anatomical, for Minette is but
an ordinary domestic cat, with some
hints of original Persian descent. She
is very long, has fine, soft fur, thick
tail and thin ears. "She is a won
derful animal" said Mr.. Sternberg,
stroking the pet. "She disproves COM
pletely the belief that cats are vicious,
irritable and incapable of affection for
their owners. Cats are generally sup
posed to be attached solely to locality
without reference to the occupants Of
the house or store. My cat has as
much sense as any dog that ever lived.
She possesses intellectual powers not
to be scoffed at and is attached to us
personally. "She is exceptionally
clearly even for a cat. She washes
herself a dozen times a day and
washes her kittens until they rebel
and scamper away from her, as small
boys are wont to do at times. She is
extremely dignifed and marches about
on her two legs with the grace of
grand lady. She has the appearance
when walking Of being conscious Of
her good looks and to be seeking adj
miration. She is a general pet, but
while always gentle and docile is not
inclined to bestow much attention on
strangers"

the sea by some terrible tempest and
sent floating round the world. Otker
persons on the beach descry big tees
floating shoreward, with fantastic
roots above the waves, like some sea
monster. One beach after another has
been formed by the floating timbers,
and a little distance back from the
shore the deposits are so old that the
wood in some places is petrifed, while
a little deeper in the earth it has turn
ed into coal. The newer logs are with
out bark and as hard as stone, due, It
is thought, to their long immersion in
salt water. They have all taken on
whitish appearance. In places the
timbers are pile twenty feet high; at
other points they rise TO a height OF
only four or five feet.
Under this wonderful beach is found
large quantities of dark, ruby sand,
rich in fine particles of gold, for the
separation of which no successful pro-
cess has yet been discovered.

is only one opinion on the matter at
Shiloh. That is entire and implicit
belief. Furthermore, dozen or 80 of
the elders were in the room with Mr..
Sanford when the alleged miracle was
wrought.
In the section rChnd about Shiloh
there are all sorts of expressions. The
clergymen of Lewiston and Auburn
have preached sermons on the matter,
for it has excited much religious in
terest in these two cities. These cler-
gymen have been interviewed. All OF
them state their conviction that Mr..
Sanford is sincere but misguided.
When the expression of these opinions
was laid before Mr.. Sanford he said:
"These men, though honest in their
intent, do not believe that God can do
this. They practically say so. There
fore it will never fall within their eX-
perience to witness such manifesto
lions of the power Of the Holy Ghost.
For il God should answer doubt with
success He would be putting pre-
MUM on unbelief, and practically de-
thronlng faith. They who did not see
this thing stand counter to many
other worthy Christians here who did
see it. | never enter into controver-
sizes with the churchmen. l have no
patience with hair splitters. l don't

the Holy Ghost does by me as He
agrees in His Book to do by every man
who will follow out His commands,
not in their own roundabout way, but
in His direct path. Let us be eau
tious how we strive to make God out a
liar"
