 tally Wrecked.

Board of trade and business circles in Chicago generally were startled on Thursday by the announcement that the George H. Phillips company, which became famous through it's pool operations in the Chicago corn pit dur ing the last year. had transferred all its open trades to McReynolds & Co.

Flag and Consultation I'm Hawaii.
 The constitution of the United States preceded the flag in Hawaii, accord ing to decision just rendered by Circuit Judge George n. Gear of the First circuit. He has already released on habeas corpus petitions three pris- oners sentenced for infamous crimes after the resolution of annexation was passed by congress and was signed by President Mckinley on the ground that they were not convicted by a unanimous verdict of F jurors. A wholesale jail delivery of murderers, burglars. larcenists and other criminals is threatened under the decision, and Honolulu is greatly disturbed over the prospect.

Washington. Nov. 9.-While Com,
mander BENJAMIN +. Tilley. command
ant Of the United States naval station
at Tutuila, Samoa, was In Washing
ton recently. he submitted to Secre'
tary Long his annual report on affairs
and conditions in this island posses.
sion. Commander Tilley says that the
Tutuilans are a gentle. kindly, simple
minded people and that the form OF
government instituted by the United
States has proved very popular with
them. He rocounts the numerous i'm.
provements In the system of self.gov.
eminent which have been suggested
to the people and eagerly agreed
to by them.
Two of the conditions which needed
reform were noteworthy. Every once
in while. says Commander Tilley. a
whole village would make up its mind
to 90 on "mclanga" or visiting party
All work would be abruptly stopped
and all ages and sexes would start gu,
on wandering holiday. The spirit
OF hospitality. he says. Is cultivated
to an extreme among the natives and
at every village visited by the rovers
the hosts felt II their duly TO entertain
aNiSHly.
The visiting party would stay al
one village just as long as their enter
tainers could provide food for them
When supplies ran out they babe has
ty adleus and moved on to the mex:
village to be entertained" Com
mander Tilley says that there never
was a time that "melangs" was moi
In progress somewhere In the island
Another custom was the bcstowins
of presents Of great value at weddings
and other ceremonies, practic.
which was carried to such an excess
that single wedding often impover
ished a whole village.
Summing up the work in Tutuila
commander Tilley says an organized
government has been established
which keeps the people quiet and
happy and is helping them material,

WHY PEOPLE sNORE.
A Scientific Explanation and n REM
edy Given by N Physician.
New York Sun.

New York Sur
The snore Of the heavy sleeper appears
at last to be receiving the consideration
from wakeful sufferers that the Nervousness
of the Offense merits. 1t may not be popu-
larly known that snoring is merely the vi
bration OF the velum pendulum palatt, but
ii is no less a matter of interest to a great
many people who either Snore themselves
or are annoyed by snorers.
A ~well-known physician was asked the
other day why people Snore.
Because they don't shut their mouths"
he said.
What is snoring?"
We'll. it's common enough," said he;
and in an offhand fashion he explained that
snoring is a noise made in the pOsterior part
Of the mouth and nasal fossae during the
moments of inspiration.
1t is due to a relaxation Of the levatOr
palati mollis and the circumflexus palati in
sleep, by which the velum pendulum palati
is left free to vibrate or flap in the two
currents OF the air which enter at the same
time through the nostril and the mouth.
Besides the vibration of the velum pendu-
lum palati. or soft palate. there is also a
vibration of the column of air itself. Thus
is produced the rasping, snorting noise so
well known, and so unpleasant to everyone
within earshot of the placid snorer.
The doctor was asked what caused snor-
"When a man is fatigued," he said. and
his self-contrOl is unusually relaxed in
sleep, he Is apt to let his lower jaw drop
down. No man was ever seen or heard to
snore with his mouth shut.
Il am frequently called upon to prescribe
for its cure"
Can ii be cured?'
Easily"
why do elderly or corpulent people COM
monty snore?"
Because their systems are generally
more relaxed in sleep, and their mouths
then fall open. Anyone will be likely TO
snore If he sleeps with his mouth open,
and no one will if he shuts it,"
How can the habit be cured?"
First, you must give a person a chance
to breathe through the nose, and then make
him do so. If there is any obstruction in
the nasal passage, that must be removed
by treatment. Then, if a snorer can't keep
his mouth shut by force of will, his jaw
must be tied up.
"A harness for the lower Jaw is some
times employed in bad cases of snoring. A
skull cap worn upon the head serves TO
hold a system of straps under the chin, and
keep the mouth shut until the patient can
form a habit of sleeping on his side, or with
his head sufficiently elevated to hold his
jaw"
rs it an easy matter to hold ones jaw
when asleep"
Hardly more difficult than when awake
why is snoring, then, so common If 1t is
easily cured?'
Because catarrhal troubles are so COM
mon, which prevent free inspiration
in hotels one frequently hears the resonant
snore. because people in those places usual
ly go TO sleep tired out. An old doctor used
10 advocate sleeping on the face to guard
against the possibility of snoring"
After all, snorers are more to be pitied
than censured. They mean no harm to any
waking mortal.
