HILO, Hawaii.-I take pleasure in send

and in the inside meeting two hands
we're raised for prayer. On the captains

visit had not been In vain. but that one
soul had come out and given his heart

TO Waiakea and held open-air meeting
In front Of the saloon, drawing quite a.
large crowd While our meeting was in
progress II commenced to rain. and the
bartender called US unoer the verandah
and the saloonkeeper gave US a dollar
for our fare home. May God bless and
save him. He gives Us lots of
encouragement to go ahead and do all
the good We can. We had glorious week

Jacksonville's Great Fire.

This CITY of Jacksonville, Florida
was almost entirely destroyed by a
fire that began last Friday in fiber
factory and continued until it haG
burned itself out. The flames burned
a space two and a-half miles long BY
half mile wide, including practically
all the fine buildings in the city. One
hundred and thirty blocks and part
of another were destroyed. Over
1900 houses are in ruins. The city
hall and all the other municipal build
ings we're burned. Six hotels were
laid in ashes. Ten thousand persons
were made homeless. The jackson,
Vile military companies were called
out and nearby cities sent help to light
the blaze. Dynamite was freel y used
to destroy buildings in the fires path
and prevent it from spreading, but
nothing could stay the flames, and the
fire was only ended when there was
no longer any fuel for it. The total
money loss is over $4,000, 600, and
the insurance amounts to about one
third of this sum. From six to ten
lives were lost. Many persons are
in restitution, and help is needed
Responses to appeals for relief are
being made from all sections of the
country, and money and supplies are
being sent forward.

Beware Of 0intments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten-fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally, act
ing directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. In buying Halls
CatarrhCure be sure you get the genuine.
1t is taken internally, and made in Tole-

Halls Family Pills are the best.

Within full view of fremen and pc.
lice, who were checked in their race tc
save lives by a freight train, seven
persons were burned to death the 9th
or morning in Chicago, and the re-
naming occupants Of the house were
so badly injured that few of them are
expected to survive. The screams OF
the burning victims were heard fol-
fully fifteen minutes. While the &C.
cupants of the burning building were
struggling with the smoke and flames
the fremen were vainly waiting for a
freight train, which blocked the way
OF the fire engines, to move away from
the crossing. The trainmen refused
to move the cars until arrested by the
police. They were all jailed later.

The REGISTER has recently printed
some of its experience with foreign ad-
vertisers which we have reason to be-
lieve have been read with interest by
our brethren Of the press, and In some
cases we know it has been to their
profit. We are therefore tempted to
record another episode along the same
line. Every newspaper man In the
two Virginias knows a certain adver-
Using agency in Philadelphia that
spends its surplus energy in more or
less successful attempts to get great
deal for very little from country
editors. We won t mention any names,
except to remark that they believe in
the adage that keeping everlastingly
at it brings success" Their man who
makes bargains with the country jour
nails is an artist Of high degree when
it comes to getting advertising fol next
to nothing. He has fund of argu-
ment and degree of persistence that
we have never seen excelled, and we
are confident that many publishers
accept his propositions just to get rid
of his interminable debates.
Several months ago he came at the
REGISTER with a proposition for a
large advertisement from corporation
as rich as the Standard Oil Trust.
We thought this concern was able to
pay respectable price, and if it was
not we concluded it couldn't get char
ity from us. We therefore spurned
the poor pittance that the advertising
agency offered and named profitable
rate. The reply was after the usual
style from this celebrated correspon-
dent, and in an injured sort Of way
he began to bring his arguments to
bear. Then followed a correspondence
in which we resolutely held to our
first figures and in which the other
fellow plainly indicated that he did not
propose to yield. His letters were
most interesting and showed what
clever writer the newspaper men have
to contend with. As much for curl
ously to see what the result would be
as for any other reason, we stifened
our heart against him and for two
months We held him at bay. Last
week he surrendered in silence and
sent us a contract at our original de-
mand. We print the advertisement
this week.
We mention this episode so that our
editorial brethren may take heart and
no longer yield to the impositions of
this firm and others who do business
on the same principles. Ifthey won't
pay fair price refuse to take their
work, and they will eventually come
to terms.

The President seems to have given
Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
carte blanche in his efforts to build
up new Republican party in the
South. A bold stroke was made last
week when they attempted to buy
General Wade Hampton by offering
to make him postmaster at Columbia.
The brave old General is in need, but
he spurned the offer, saying: "The
people Of South Carolina should know
by this time that cannot be bought. ;"
We have no objection to Senator Nc
Laurin trying to further the plans of
President Mckinley and the Republi-
can party, but it is shame and dis
grace that he prostitutes the position
of trust to which he was elected by the
Democrats to such purposes.
1.-The were ordinarily decent he would
resign as Senator.

West Virginia Items.

The West Virginia Educational
Association will hold its annual session
at Mountain Lake Park, Md, July 2 tc
4, 1901.
The Governor has appointed ]. s Ii
dell Brown, editor of the Kingwood
Argus, to be member Of the board
of regents for the Deaf and Blind at
Romney. 1t is a good appointment.
Marshall Dent, a prominent resi-
dent of Morgantown, died last Sunday
from paralysis, aged IS years. He
was the father of Judge M. H. Dent,
of the State Supreme Court, and OF
w. R. D. Dent, of Grafton.
Mrs. Thomas G rifith was found dead
standing up against fence at her
home in Boone county few days ago.
She died of heart disease and her chill
dren, who were playing near, did not
know it until some time afterward.
Charles Smith, aged % years, while
blowing on his fathers farm near Sim
instantly killed, He was holding the
plow while his father drove the team
certify, Wetzel county, was shot in the
back by an unknown assassin and
and neither knew that any was about
until the shot was fired.
West Virginia is at the head of the
list of the oil producing States. She
has a well established record Of being
third in coal production, and by the
the end of this year will undoubtedly
be second. According to the census
report she is next to Pennsylvania,
the leader in coke production.
Because her lover failed to keep an
engagement, pretty Lulu Aksrs com
mitted suicide at Huntingdon, this State,
by leaping off the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway bridge into Big Sandy river,
She left long letter addressed to her
mother, which was indeed pathetic.
She closed the epistls by asking her
mother to meet her in heaven. The
girl was less than twenty years old, was
pretty and had many admirers.
A recent dispatch from Logan county,
this State, says: The doors Of every
liquor saloon in Logan Courthouse are
closed and the proprietor of each is In
Jail. A special effort was made by the
present grand jury to probe into varl-
Gus irregularities Of saloonists here and
as result almost $50 indictments
were returned. The saloonists agreed
to plead guilty to a portion of the
charges, providing the remainder of
the indictments be nolled, practice
which has been quite common in West
Virginia courts. Both the judge and
prosecuting attorney refused compro-
mise and fines were assessed In every
case. Robert STATIONS fines alone
amounted to $4,000. The salooni,ts
organized and refused to pay fines,
with the result that all their places of
business are closed and every saloonist
in town locked up. The outcome Is
anxiously awaited.
