The Soft Answer.

Cecil Jones is little chap who
rides a noisy broomstick across the
street from US. He goes to school,
too and through some faint of char
acter indigenous to youth, inspired
the wrath of his teacher, Miss Nc
Claury. She took him into the fog
eilg room and ordered him to sit up
on chair. Drawing another chair
in front of him she also sat down, bent
her face near his, looked savage as
her mild eyes dared or could, then
asked him:
Cecil, what do you suppose I am
going to do with you?"
Placing his little soft hands upon
both her cheeks he smoothed them
tenderly while saying:
suppose you are going to whip
me but 1 hope you won't whip me
hard. "
Our Nellie told US the story with
tears in her eyes.
We write it here in tears.
Christ's mercy to the william on the
cross! Beats there heart that could
harden to the crime of whipping such
loving tenderness?
Never was forensic oratory pleading
for life equal to the ungramattical
plea OF Cecil for mercy.
The rod was here a tragedy.
She let him go untouched-but in
this we certainly preyaricate.
She let him -caressed. Norton

ALASKA A
GREAT PRIZE
Twice its Purchase Price Was
Made in Gold Last
Year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-"The output of
, the Alaskan gold fields for 1901 will be
fully s15.O0O,OOO." said Lyman s. Allies, of
Seattle, who left Nome City on October
i %, at the Waldorf-Astoria, last night
Alaska will soon be to the United States
what South Africa is to England" con-
tinued Mr.. Allies. Zone of the vexatious
. things which the miners had to contend
with this year was the interminable
squabble over claims. The overflow of
miners from the Klondike struck US last
spring and settled claims already
staked. In some cases they would re-
name creeks and drive new stakes, ana
the original owners have been fighting
thousands of these cases in the courts
all the year. The gold output for 1900
would have been much larger but for
this The beach claims at and near Nome
have been worked out, but back on the
creeks there is an unlimited amount of
GOLD. / have a good claim on Oregon
creek, twenty-five miles from Nome and
twenty miles back from the coast. The
latest important strike is on Kotzebue
Sound, Bay of Good Hope, away off to
the north of Nome. Another important
strike that promises great results is in
the Blue Stone creek district, west of
Nome, and twenty miles south of Port
Clarence, one of the good harbors of
Western Alaska. The Blue Stone creek
district has opened with a rush and it
see ms to be fully as good as the famous
Anvil creek, which cleaned up 100000
this year. One of the peculiar features
about Blue Stone is that it was discov-
cred and opened up by 'tenderfeet.' An
experienced miner and his nephew were
asked to go and look it over. The old
miner went all over the territory~and
told his friends that there was not any,
thing there worth the while, and came
away. Afterward the 'tenderfeet' came
along and opened the district, with great
results. Between 5000 and 1000 men are
wintering at Nome and doing what work
they can. All last year~there were be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 in and around
Nome. The general health was excel
lent, and in this the people were happily
disappointed. The run of typhoid in 1899
led everyone to believe that disease
would again be prevalent, but the deaths
were exceedingly rare this year. There
were a good many fights over territorial
rights early in the season, but things
have settled down now. Judge Stevens
sits in criminal cases and Judge Moves
is the District Judge. Both are doing ex-
cellent work"

FIsTIo CHAMPIONSHIP.
and Jefries May Meet
at Carson.

CARSON, New, Jan. 3.-Dan Stuart au-
thorized the statement today that he is
arranging to pull off fight in this city
between the 25th of May and the 10th of
June for the championship of the world.
He will also give a purse for fight be-
tween Terry McGovern and a man he
will produce, at the ringside on the day
of battle. McGovern has been consider
ed invincible in his class. crawling up
from bantam-weight to lightweight and
all opposition, but Stuart thinks
he has found man of his class who can
take his measure; and if not give Nc
Govern the greatest battle of his life.
The signs point to the big battle as
one between FitZsimmons and Jeffries,
but Stuart is very guarded in his state
ments, and as great mass Of so-called
interviews have gone out he desires to
speak authoritatively and deliberately in
the matter. The news came by wire from
Chicago yesterday that Fitz and JEFF
had been matched to fight in Carson in
May. When asked If this was ''by the
cards." Stuart said the news was not a
surprise to him. There will be a fight
in this city under my management next
summer, and it will be a worlds cham
pionship battle"

FACTS ARE STUBBORN.
III Honolulu People Are Not Con-
WINGED by Local Testimony They
Differ From Other PeonIe-

Our readers will have noticed how in
the past two years Cures" have multi
piled in the newspapers very fast. and
the public are becoming skeDtical
Facts are demanded, but it has also
become essential to know who sup
plies these facts, where they are from.
PEOPLE Will not now accept incredible
cures from the other side of the world.
They want them at home Give us
some neighbor, then I will believe" Is
what is asked for. Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills do this. Call it what you
like, home, local or neighbours testi-
mony, you can always ascertain the
truth of it without leaving the city
limits. Here is a case:
Mr.. W. ]. Maxwell of this town, Tru-
ant officer. writes thus: 81 suffered
with horrible pain in the small of
my back ian almost invariable symp-
tom of kidney trouble) for a. number
of years. 1 was advised to take some
of Doan's 3ackache Kidney Pills, and
following the suggestion, went to the
HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store, Fort street,
and got some of these. Having taken
chem, they relieved me straight away,
and are, may say, the best and in fact
the only cure for backache 1 have
mentioned the virtue of this wonderful
remedy to several persons, among
whom is my friend, Mr.. Frank Metcalf,
who found relief, and he is now firm
believer in Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills"
Some of the symptoms of kidney dis
ease are pain in the back, and sides,
headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot dry skin, shortness of
breath, evil forebodings, troubled
sleep, pufiness of the eyelids, swelling
OF the feet and ankles, loss of flesh,
dark colored urine, deposits, etc. If
you have any of these symptoms you
should lose no time in treating them,
for delay is dangerous.
! Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at SO cents per box, six boxes $3.50, or
will be mailed on receipt of price by
the Hollister Drug Co., Honolulu,
wholesale agents for the Hawaiian
Islands.

or go back to his native land. AS to the
pohtics of the negro, it is likely he would
be a Republican. But if in the ascend
ancy he would undoubtedly vote in ne.
gro office-holders. Too many negroes ar.
not therefore desirable. Single men
should not be brought in too great num-
bers. z Men with families would not make
possible an evil feared by some"
j. T. Manson of Nashville, Tennessee.
who accompanied Colonel Bean to Hawaii
with a score of negroes for Maui, is
negro who has spent the last eighteen
months in investigating the question of
importing colored labor for use on the
Island plantations, and than whom there
is perhaps no better posted man. Man
sons father-in-law is a well-to-do negro
in the States and the proprietor of three
large farms on which there are living at
least one hundred colored families. There
is not enough work to keep all of them
employed and it is possible that a large
number will eventually be transported to
Hawaii.
Mr.. Manson comes to Honolulu as the
representative of the knights and Daugh-
tiers of America, a colored order, and it
will depend much upon his report to that
order to just what extent the immigra-
ton of colored labor will reach. Touch
ing on the subject Mr.. Manson said,
There is no better place in the world
for my people; every inducement posi-
BILE is offered to them, and the climate
could not be surpassed.
I'm the Southern States the negroes are
only able to work on an average of six
months in the year, while here they
would be assured of employment the
year round. 1t may take some time to
get any large number of them to make
up their minds to emigrate so far away,
and to a country that they believe is the
home of the leper and replete with other
diseases but in the end I believe that
they will see the advantages accruing to
them on these Islands and come here in
large numbers.
What more could they ask? They are
offered s1S a month and a cabin to live
in: in addition to this they will also be
given a garden patch Of at least one
quarter of an acre. This will be adequate
for all their needs, and it is the intention
to bring only men with their families, al
though single men will not be refused
They are practically guaranteed employ
ment for a period of three years and will
be as free as any United States citizen.
There is a surplus of colored labor all
through the Southern States and I have
little fear of the result once they are
here. But there is one great trouble in
getting them here-the people on the
Coast and particularly in San Francisco
are prone to make US lots of trouble.
when the emigrants reach that city they
receive all manner of offers for their SER
vices in different channels, and if a man
wishes to leave at that point we can not
compel him to come here. Summing the
whole matter up, I am confident that the
negro would do well in this climate. and
from monetary point of view, he would
be infinitely better off than in the
South

A Catfish Scandal.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-The Journal Of
Commerce says:
1t is stated in West Side canned goods
circles that the matter of discovering the
author of the rumor or report recently
published to the effect that Coast pack
ers of salmon were canning Louisiana
ca fish and branding it as salmon. has
been turned over for the consideration of
the United States Fish Commission. The
rumor or report, 1t appears, was taken
seriously in certain East Side quarters.
particularly among the Hebrews, who,
because of their religion, which prohibits
the eating of catfish, declined to buy sal
mon in many instances This action re-
suited in some loss of trade to canned
fish dealers here.
