A SCARE IN HAWAII.
People Of Chinese Descent are Liable
TO be DepOrted Because Of the
Change In Laws Since Annexation.

Honolulu, Jan. "a, via San Francis
co,Feb. 5.-The registration of the
Chinese in the Hawaiian islands, for
the purpose of issuing to them GER
tificates of residence on American
soil, will begin on February /. Dis
trict Attorney Baird has expressed
the opinion that certificates should
be secured, as a matter of safety, by
all persons who have any Chinese
blood in them. The expression of
this opinion has startled many peo-
pie here, as Honolulu has many citi-
zens of high social and financial
standing who are thus by Inference
stated to have only doubtful rights
to enter the United States. Under
Hawaiian law, nationality was de-
rived from the mother, and sons Of
Chinese fathers were regarded as Of
the nationality of their other parent.
The rule of American law is just the
opposite.
The law provides that all Chinese
in Hawaii who have not certificates
by June IA will be liable to deporta-
ton. As result of Mr.. Baird's
opinion, number of people who
have never been regarded as Chinese
may take the precaution of register
ing.
The report of the first grand jury
on the island of Hawaii, at Hilo, has
just been presented. 1t deals very
largely with the conditions of immo-
rality said TO be increasing in the
town, and calls for vigorous reform.
The town is referred to in the report
as "a modern Sodom," and the police
and courts are urged 10 take stern
measures to improve the conditions.
EXcavators who are at work on
sewer system for residences at Wal
kill have stumbled upon what is
thought to have been the burial
ground of battlefield of the latter
part of the eighteenth century.
Many skeletons have been unearthed,
one of them evidently being that of
a native chief

the same cause. Mr.. and Mrs. Ma
sons child died at the Jefferson sew

And so the old mans counsels pre-

grave, pallid, but determined faces,
came out into the sunshine, and with

the orderly waited with the horses.

appeared a third party, in the par
tial guise of an officer and the grip
of Bacchus. Lurching down the

bloodshot eyes, came Capt. New

abruptly away.
"Good Lord, Marshall" said Loom

the only appreciation this days work
will bring us what will the results
be? You served him right, no doubt
but" and an ominous shake of the
head wound up the sentence.
But or no but" said Dean, ''it's
done now, and I'd do it again.
There was no dinner party at Fol-
SONS that evening. At two a messen-
ger trotted out to the post with a
note for Miss Folsom to apprise hel
of the fact, and without a word OF
change of color she put it into her
pocket. The garrison girls were ben:
on having them spend the afternoon
but presently Miss Folsom found a
moment in which to signal to Jess
and at three they were driving home
"You will surely come out this
evening and hear the music and have
a Dance" were the parting saluta'

young girl took up the reins.

swer. Jess was clinging to her broth

and Loomis had already clambered in
beside her.
"Please come, Marshall" pleaded
Jessie; but he shook his head.

hour You will come back, LOOMS .
"As soon as I've seen" and sig.

Something ominous was in the wind
and both girls knew it. Loomis, usual

homeward. Beside the fair charioteeI
sat young officer of the infantry who
vastly rejoicing that Dean could not go

That night the moon beamed bright.

glinting on the peaks, still snowtipped
far in the southern sky, and softening
the rugged faces of the nearer range
black with their clustering beard OF
spruce and pine. The band played
sweetly on the broad parade until after
the tattoo drums had echoed over the
plains and the garrison bellies strolled
aimlessly in the elfin light-all nature

gone. Out in the camp of c troop men
were fitting swiftly to and fro, horses
were starting and stamping at the

inquiring the cause of all this stir and
hustle among the tents. In front OF
the canvas home of the young COM
mander a grave-faced group had gath
cred, two gentle girls among them, one
with tear-dimmed eyes. Old Folsom
stood apart in murmured conference
with Griggs, the sutler. The regi-
mental quartermaster was deep in con-
sultation with Dean, the two officers
pacing slowly up and down. One or
two young people from the garrison
had spent a few minutes earlier in the
evening striving to be interesting TO
the girls; but Jessie's fearful eyes and

draw, each bidding Dean good night,
safe Journey and speedy return, and
the hand-clasps were kind and cordial.
The colonel himself had paid brief
visit to camp, his adjutant in attend
ance, and had given Mr.. Dean ten min
utes of talk concerning a country Dean
knew all about, but that "Pecksniff'
had never seen. 'It is responsibility
own | should have expected to see
placed on older shoulders" said he,
"but prudence and-and, let me sug-
gest, cool-headedness-w probably
carry you through. You will be ready
to start"
Ready now, sir, so far as that's con
cerned; but we start at three"
"Oh, ah-yes, of course-well-ah-
it leaves me practically with no com
mand, but I'll hope to have you back,
Mr.. Dean. Good-by." Then as he
passed Folsom the colonel whispered: !:
That's $4,000 as good as thrown
| away"
"Ten thousand dollars!" answered
the trader in reply. What do you
mean?'
That's what those boys are to run
the gantlet with. My-ah-protests
are entirely unavailing."
For moment Folsom stood there
dumb. "Do you mean" he finally cried,
'that-that it's beyond Frayne that
they're going-that it's money They're
| to take?"
"Hush! Certainly, but it mustn't be
known. Every road agent in Wyoming
would be out, and every Indian from
the Platte to Hudson bay would be on
the watch. He's to take ten men and
slip through. The money comes out
from Burleigh tonight"
The colonel turned away, and.
beckonng to his staff officer to join
him, stumped onward to the garrison.
| The prolonged wall of the bugle aid
ed by the rising night wind, sent the
solemn strains of taps sailing down
the dimly-lighted valley, and with
staring eyes old Folsom stood gazing
after the departing officers, then
whirled about toward the tents. There
in front of Dean stood Pappoose, her

against the lid of the mess chest but

QUESTION AND PROPHECY.

Maiden with the soft brown eyes,
Do ltfe's songs outweigh its sighs!
Hast thou shrined life's better part
in the chancels of thy heart?
Have life's sweetest, noblest psalms
Gained thee with their boons and balms?
In the rosary of years
Have the beads been pearly tears,
Or have sadder things than these
Caused the plants when life should please!
Let thy eyes their wells unrol
That my glance may scan thy soul.
On their mystic depths see
Things that were and are to be;
Sorrow with its gruesome touch
Hath not marred thy spirit much,
Yet thy path in coming days
May not pass through flowery ways.
Gird thyself for ills of earth
Life hath means as well as mirth-
For each joy a grief is born
Dark night comes as oft as morn;
Be thou ready, for some years
Sow In toll to harvest tears.
Yet for thee the sun shall shine,
Ills touch lightly thee and thine;
Skies which arch in blue above
For thy eyes show stars of love;
Therefore be thou not afraid
Lissome little brown-eyed maid.
There await such sprites as thee
Ills no mortal maid may flee,
But heavens gold can gld the guile
Helpless to resist thy smile.
Maiden with the soft brown eyes,
Many joy before thee lies
II thou be but truly wise.

Pittsburg, Feb. 5.-The cut nail
pool yesterday announced an in
crease in prices of five cents keg,
to go into effect at once. Cut, or
old style iron nails have been selling
at $1.95 a keg in carload lots to job
bers. The new price advances the
quotation to 81 a keg. In less than
carload lots the price is $2.O5 and to
retailers $2.15 keg. The increased
cost of cut nails is due to the ad-
week by the American Steel and

WEIGHING THE EARTH.

dress Last Night.

Prof. Mendenhall delivered his cele-
brated lecture on "welghing the

cnce. The subject matter OF the leo
turc was largely scientific. but Prof
Merdenhall presented it in such a.
manner as to make IL easily UNDER

He was sent to Japan by the United
states government some twenty years
ago to conduct the experiments which
resulted in the final determination of
the weight OF the globe.
lf 1t were possible to find ont just
what the interior of the earth consists
of, said DR.. Mendenhall. the problem
of finding the exact weight of the earth,
with a knowledge of It's dimensions.
would be a. very simple one. II would
De merely problem in ordinary aiith-
metfc. But no one has a knowledge or
the interior OF the earth. and hence
other methods had to be adopted.
He then described the several meth
ods which have been used in deternin-
ing the weight of the globe. The one
which he adopted was the finding of
the attraction of force of gravity for a.
pendulum at the sea level and then the
added attraction at the top Of q high
mountain, the celebrated volcano, Fripi-
yanna, in Japan. BY subtraction the
attraction of the mountain could then
be asccrtaincd and then by a compari-
son of the attraction of the earth at
sen level and the attraction of the
mountain, the weight OF the earth could
be found.

The mos, interesting sessions of the
teachers institute SO fur conducted
were those of yesterday and though
the sun didn't come out to brighten
things up until late in the afternoon,
the teachers didn't allow themselves to
become disririted. In fact they couldn't
become gloomy with two talks by DR..
T.. Fl. Green on the programme.
The principal feature of the morn
ing session was a continuation by DR..
r. G.. Mcndenhall OF his lecture on ."rhe
Figure Of the Earth" The first man,

earth is not a perfect sphere but is
slightly tiattened at the poles was Sir

of opposition to this view, but lived

literary pilgrimage which he and u
friend made in 1890 to the birthplaceS,
Ecnes and graves of some of the dis
tlrguished coterie of men of letters
which New England has produced.
During the literary ranlble he and his
friend visited James Russell Lowell.
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holm"s and John
Gieenleaf Whittier and his account Of
these visits and of his personal obser-
vatons of these famous men were
most interesting.
Dr. Green urged the teachers to ncv-
er bring their misery into the school
room but To be always bright and
cheerful. He urged them to try and
see a bright side to everything.
Miss l.. j. Eginton continued her
talks on "Reading" during both ses-
