Hawaii will remain territory. It re-

Hawaii will remain territory. It re- marks:
 Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii, who is enthusiastically advocating state hood for the territory of Hawaii, is wasting his time. Hawaii is not fit to become a state, and it will be long time, if ever, before it will be so fit ted. There is no evidence whatever to show that Hawaii would be better off as a state than as territory, while it's expenses would be greatly increased.
 ''The talk of uniting Hawaii with California meets with no favor either in Hawaii or in California, and is chi merical. Congress would give no con- sideration to such a proposition. Un- der the decision of the United States supreme court, Hawaii needs no statehood and, like all our other pos sessions, can be well governed under a territorial form of government such as it now has.
 1sAs to complaints about the al- Ieged ignorance and corruption of it's legislature, they count for nothing ID V1OW Ol Wudb SOl1C O1 OuL td CC legislatures do, particularly that of Pennsylvania. No territorial legisla- ture will probably ever exhibit such rottenness as has characterized the Pennsylvania legislature, or that of Montana, and fortunately no terri torial legislature would have the power to rob the people of the terri tory in the way the Pennsylvania leg islature has robbed the people of this state"

FRANCE NOT AFRAID.
Plot Against the Republic Matched
 by the Bonapartists.
Followers of Prince Louis Napoleon Propose to Make September 14 Memorable fin the History
 of Their Country.

Bismarcks saying that an enemy who names a day for his attack is not formida ble, will be recalled by the story which comes from London of the new plot against the French republic. This tale is given with a good deal of circums tantiality, and it comes from Paris. from person who is said to be favorable to the scheme. Prince Louis Napoleon, a descendant l of Jerome, one of the brothers of Napoleon l., is an officer of the Rus sian army. On September 14 Nicholas II. is to promote the prince to the rank of general in the Russian forces. On that day big demonstration is arranged in France by the friends of l Bonaparte pretensions, in the inter est of the prince.
 This is the programme as outlined | by the tale from Paris, published in a London paper, and cabled to the United States. Young Louis Napole- on is represented to be a good officer and popular person, and a favorite of the czar. All this is true. Possibly there is some truth in the story that he is to be promoted by the czar at an early day, and September, IA would be just as good day as any other for the advancement to take place, so far as the world can see. But will the promotion cause a Bonapartist dem- onstration? Will this demonstra- tion, if it occurs, have any influence on the political fortunes of this or any other member of the Bonapartist house? These are queries which time only can answer.
 Meanwhile, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a few considera- . .tions can be shown to stand in the way of the success of any Bonapart.

one Way to Get a wife.

The accidental dropping of dime down his back secured bride for George Holden, of Scranton, Pa. Hold en is 23 years of age. One night at the theater a ten-cent piece slipped from the hand of Miss Hatty Sturgis. Although thorough search was made by Miss Sturgis and girl friend, it could not be found. The girls were dismayed, for they had no money and their homes were nearly two miles distant. Holden, although five cents was the extent of his belongings, and he an entire stranger, gallantly offered to escort them home. His offer was ac- cepted. In bidding adieu to the young women he explained that the lost coin had slipped down his back and was then reposing in his left sock. Cap tivated by his neat speech, Miss Sur gis encouraged his attentions, and the other day they were married.

SULTAN OF MOROCCO,
Young African Ruler Has Many
 Extravagant Pads.
Pays S15.o00 for Two Cameras with Which to Photograph His Wives Lenses Are Set in Solid
 Gold Instead of Brass.

News that the sultan of Morocco has bought two cameras, one quar- ter-plate and one half-plate, costing $10,50O and S4,500, respectively, is re- garded by camera experts as sug- gesting that the sultan of Morocco is @ good deal more fond of spending money than is the sultan of Turkey. It is doubted if he has any prettier harem than has the Turkish sultan and if he has it is argued by experts in camera goods that he could get just as good a picture of his favor ites with a $100 machine.
 According to the story of the sul- tan's purchases in London all the metal work of the quarter-plate camera is of solid gold, even to the screws and hinges, every piece bear- ing the British hall mark. Its total weight is 150 ounces. The half-plate instrument is of silver, with finest of mountings.
 Dr. William IF. Knapp, of Chicago, representing the manufacturers who made the lenses for the sultan's cameras, says in effect that the sul- tan paid through the nose for what he gos, so far as pictures are con cerned.
 For such cameras we couldn't make a lens that would cost more than s100," said Dr. Knapp to a Chi cago Tribune reporter. ''The best Framework for a lens is brass and one set in gold would be less adapt able in photography. We make the best quarter-plate lens for $77, with $16 more added for a shutter. The sultan hasn't got anything better, though it may be set in solid gold.

While the storm was at it's worst bolt of light ming struck the center of the public square of a country town and struck a rooster which was running across the opening. It hit him square on the head, and, of course, killed him in- stantly, and also burned all the feath- CTS off his back and sides.

THE FATE OF HAWAII
Politicians and Statesmen Are Much
 Interested in It.
Natives Want Statehood or Annexn. ton to California-OthersT Think Territorial Government Is
 Good Enough.

While Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii, is urging that the archipelago (now territory be admitted to the union as state, the recommendation is heard in some quarters that the is- lands be annexed to California. The Honolulu Sunday Volcano, for exam pie, says:
 ''The Volcano, in advocating the an- nexation of Hawaii to California, does so with the most patriotic mo- tives. The Hawaii of to-day is carry ing all of it's eggs to market in one basket. We are raising two products sugar and children. The contract labor laws having been abolished, children are hardly commodity of commerce. Hawaii under present conditions to be prosperous must have stable market for it's sugar.. The market for Hawaiian sugar is Amer ica. Under the Downes decision of the United States supreme court con- gress has the power to levy duty on any or all goods shipped from ter ritory of the United States. Now we do not believe that congress will ever place a duty upon Hawaiian sugar. But, believing this, would it not be presumptuous to say that congress never will do it? There is no telling what an Hawaiian legislature or an American congress will do.
 s'Is it not best to be safe in this matter? Haven't the people of Ha- waii had enough dearly purchased ex- perience in assessment sugar stocks without investing in an assessment government. By becoming part of California, Hawaii would be forever free from a tax on it's sugar. What strong argument this is for annex ation to the Golden State!"

This visitor describes his interview with the great author and cfalshlt4s I l4e count was iii peasant dress and received his guest in q plainly furnished study. But when the two repaired to the reception room they found the countess in magnificent court costume, and the ladies who were with her were sim ilarly attired. These things, how ever, are mere matters of taste. From the events of the late uprising in Russia it would seem that the countess has peculiar right to be heard and honored by everyone. Her husbands communication gave her an opportunity of issuing public letter which was especially appeal ing. The brave wife closes her letter in these words: God will be 1enient to those who even outside the church have lived life of humility, renun- citation of the good things of this world, love and devotion. His par don is surer for them than for those whose miters and decorat tions sparkle with precious stones, but who strike and expel from the church those over whom they are set as pastors. Hypocrisy would vainly distort my words, for good faith does not err in judging peoples real intentions" Countess Tolstoi for many years has acted as her husbands friend, secre- tary and critic.

hard to see how such a charge could be made for such a small camera as quarter-plate would be. It would take photograph only 5Ax4A inches, and the half-plate would be only 4Ax6h inches.
 sCounting gold as worth $20 an ounce and the lens of the camera at $100, the camera would have to weigh nearly 500 ounces to have S10,oO0 worth of gold in it. That is, it would have to weigh more than 30 pounds aVoirdupois. This is an absurdity Carving, jewels, engravings and the height of ornamentation might make camera cost as much as 500, but you couldn't prove it by quarter plate negative.''
 In general, the cost of camera is in the lens. For sneak thief there frst-class photographers studio. While men lock up bartenders in the ice box to raid saloon cash register with $6.s5 in it, sneak thief easily might unscrew $500 portrait lens from a camera and sneak out with the booty in his coat pocket. For costly camera the lens usually costs ten times as much as the box, and it has not hundredth part of the bulk.
 The largest lens ever made for a camera was nearly nine inches in diameter, was ten inches long, and lens and metal casing weighed 40 pounds. This lens, made under the most trying circumstances, cost $3,- 900, and was designed for a plate 4x8 feet. The first photograph taken through it was life size photograph of Dr. John Alexander Dowie, short ly before he was reincarnated into Elijah III.
 The plate which registered this acounterfeit presentment" of Elijah cost $100, and it cost at least five dollars to develop and ''fx'' the nega- tive, the prints from it costing about three dollars each.
 The unusual size of the lens for this camera necessitated a camera box 4x8 feet and focal adjustment of 13 feet. In making the lens it was difficult to find glass sufficiently large and free from flaws, air bub- .b1es, and s.striae.'' When one glass had been cut and adjusted it had to be thrown out because of one of khose almost intangible blemishes &ermed striae.

To the officer who last arrested him Schlat- ter admitted that he had been drunk since July 3, and said he believed that about two days confinement would do him good. He will have 30 days. In his own defense Schlatter testified that he came to Washington to find his wife, who had deserted him, and get her permission to sell some prop erty in England. Becoming discour- aged in his efforts he got drunk.

ist plot which may be matched at the which will be 31 years of age on Sep tember 4, 1901, has lived nearly twice as long as any other political system which has appeared in France since the abolition of the Bourbon mon archy in 1792. There was once be- lief, melted by the experience of the Orleanist monarchy and the second empire, Napoleon Ills, that the eighteenth century was the dead line in the life of a French government. The third republic has left that line so far behind that it is hard to figure out off-hand just when it has crossed. The present French ministry, if it lives a few weeks longer, will have outlasted all the other cabinets, about three dozen in number, which have come to the front since Thiers' days at the head of the republic. The republic is apparently stronger now than it ever has been in the past. In the chamber of deputies only a cor poral's guard is left of the avowed enemies of this form of government. As Prince Louis Napoleon, however, is an able and popular person and capable soldier, andS as he has great pres tige in Russia, the country of his adoption, he has often figured in the popular fancy, in and out of France, in the role of the ''man on horse back" There are persons, therefore, who will await with much interest the coming of September 14, 1901.
