Nature "makes all things beautiful ia
their time" Every one of life's seasons
when life moves on Natures lines has It's
own charm and beauty. Many women
dread that period when they must experience
change of life They fear that face and
form may suffer by the change, and that thev
may fail to please those whom they love.
The value of DIR. Pierce's Favotite Prescrip.
ton in this crisis of woman's life lies in the
fact that it assists Nature. Its use preserve
balance and buoyancy Of the mind and sus-
tains the physical powers. Many women
have expressed their gratitude for the hclr
and comfort given by "Favorite Ptescrip-
tion" in this trying period. Its benefits arc

She Gave Herself Away,

Judge Davis was one day In his pri-
yate Office when he was president Of
the senate and acting vice president.
A woman came into the room to see
him, He turned and said, "Well, mad
am. what can do for your" She was
neatly dressed in black, with an air of
extreme poverty. She told a wretched
tale Of sorrow and suffering, winding
up with the climax that she and her
little family were actually starving and
had not tasted food for two days. The
judge seemed deeply moved. He ex-
cused himself for not attending to the
case for the moment, as the senate was
nearly ready to'open.
He looked at his watch with an air
Of vexation, as If 1t weru not going.
and said, ''Can any one tell me what
time It isF His visitor pulled out q
gold watch and told him the time. The
Judge said. 'Can 1t be true, that your
children have been without food for
two days when you have gold watch
In the houseT' The woman saw the
point Of the Judges question and called
out, HYou are hateful old thingF and
dounced out Of the room. She was q
professional dead beat.

Fhree Kings before Victoria.

Victoria assembled the throne at an In
suspicious moment. Kingship had fail
en- into a miserable ,dlsrepute. The
last three monarchs who had sat npon
our throne had done, little to make
their Office easy OF glorious. George III
had obscured whatever virtues were
his by an obstinacy OF opinion which
lost. rs vast colony and which might
well have enslaved us to a foreign
power.
/ George Nv had died unwept and I'M
pitied. AS he had made his distin-
guished Office a scandal, as he had
made his throne ridiculous by deplor-
able leVity Of taste and conduct, SO he
had forfeited the affection Of his peo-
pie and alienated their sympathy long
before death overlook him. There
never was an individual" proclaimed
The Times but few weeks after his
death, less regretted by his fellow.
creatures than this deceased king.
What eye has wept for him7 What
heart has heaved one throb Of unnec-
essary sorrowT And The Times ex-
pressed In those bitter words nothing
less than the popular Judgment.
Nor can it be said that William Nv
graced the throne Of Britain. Loved
for his homely virtues, he raised a
smile Of kindly contempt by his lack
Of dignity and his frank misunder-
standing Of kingly ceremonial On the
day Of his accession he escaped from
his council and was found throwing
shillings to noisy crowd in a back
street, and never did he acquire the
rudiments Of tact which should be the
drst wisdom of kings-BlaekWood's.

A Scottish Echo,

The late Sims Reeves was fond Of
telling story that related to an early
engagement in Glasgow which was ar
ranged through a metropolitan agency
One Of the items ON the programme
was HAIL Smiling Norm and OF
course Mr.. Reeves was put down foE
the solo portion. The chorus consists
Of an echo, and the London agent as,
sured the soloist that a satisfactory
choir had been engaged.
The whole matter was settled hur-
riedIy. Mr. Reeves was at first disin-
clined TO accept, as other engagements
prevented him from reaching Glasgow
in time for rehearsal with the choir.
Don't worry about that, my dear
sir" said the agent. "You will find
the choir perfect"
The concert was a success, and in
due course ''Hail, Smiling NORM was
called for. When the soloist came to
the lines requiring an echo, he deliv-
cred them in bis best .manner-"At
whose bright presence darkness flies
away" Imagine his horror when the
echo repeated his words in the broad
est Scotch:
"Flees AVA, fees awa'p
Yet Sims Reeves averred that not a
person in the audience smiled or ap-
peared to see anything homogeneous.
When he talked over the matter with
a bailie after the concert the good man
assured him:
That's nothing at all. You were a
little wrong in your pronunciation. and
the echo was correct. You see, it was
a Scottish echo."-Yo uth's Companion.

HOT GOALS
Crater of KiIauea
Shows Signs Of
Eruption.

Reports from the crater as to the con-
ditions there convince all old-timers
that an outbreak is near at hand Re-
turning tourists report the scene at
night to be grand and worth more than

Very respectfully,

Acting Governor.


Acting Governor.
Then came the message from the
House, announcing that it was ready
to adjourn sine die, and no sooner was
it read than White moved that the same
action be taken, and the Governor be
notified of the Intention of the two
Houses by a joint committee. Mr. Ka-
hilina was of the same opinion and sec
onded the motion with alacrity Then
the Republicans saw what was to be
the result of a vote. and Senator Brown
led retreat from the chamber He
was followed by Carter and Paris at
once, While Achi remained for a few
minutes to watch the proceedings, but
he soon joined the rest of the party out

the stairs and taken out with his fell

quest to return was made they gave the
withering eye to the policeman of the
Senate and he returned without them
The Republicans soon left the Execu-
tive grounds and went down town. aft

journment until this morning.
While this little game was going on
the House was waiting. The members
were in little groups and they did not
seem to have much interest in the pro-
ceedings. There We're some speeches
made in favor of going home but there
was, no action. Then after the wait
grew monotonous an informal commit
tee went out to see what was doing in
the Bungalow and returned to announce
that there was no Senate, adjournment
having been had. Immediately Puuki
and kauimakaole began to move to ad-
journ sine die, They would not listen to
the ruling of the Speaker that the mo-
ton was out of order, but insisted that
they could do nothing here and that it
was only a waste of time to try.
Finally Beckley got the floor and NOV
ed to adjourn for the three days per-
mitted by law, and this was agreed to-,
Whereupon the members disappeared to

held last night in Progress Hall, and

that it has come to stay, and that it
will be effective in looking out for the
best interests of the shipping of this
port. There were about twenty-five
captains present, including all Island
captains and masters. Eight new mem
bers were initiated and the names of
twenty applicants We're presented for
membership.
Some discussion was had over the

LEGISLATIVE DEADLOCK
STOPS ALL BUSINESS

With deadlock between the two
Houses of the Legislature there is little
chance that in the extended session the
members will do the things for which
they were asked to remain The dead
lock is over an adjournment sine die,
the House being ready to take leave
and the Senate never coming to a vote
upon the subject The end might have
come on Saturday if the four Republic
ans who attended the session had stay
ed and kept quorum, but that was
just what they would not do, and as
result the Senate had to adjourn until
this morning.
= Senator Kalauokalani said last even
ing that he was in favor of the passage
of the bill which provides for the pay
ment of the unpaid debts of the Depart
ment of Public Worksf He was ready,
ne said, 10 rake7 this stand on Satur-
day, if the Republicans had stayed in
their seats. He will try and persuade
his friends that this is the course to
there was some doubt as to his ability
to secure the support of his party in
the matter. The desire seeAs to be to
go home. Senator White pines for La
haina and is continually making the
motion to adjourn sine die, and he will
endeavor to prevent any action on the
motion to proceed to the consideration
of the bill.
The Independents received an addition
to their forces yesterday in the person
of Senator Kaohi, who returned from
Hawaii This will give that party six
members, if all attend the session this
morning. The Republicans expect to
have the same number in their seats,
and if it appears that there is a tie
vote, there will be session; otherwise
it is expected that the tactics of Satur-
day will be repeated.
The House will not meet until We'd
nesday, but when that day arrives it is
possible that there will not be quorum
of the body, as many of the out-of-town
members say they will not stay here
any longer, but will go home in the
Tuesday boat The members of the
Lower House are very much put out by
the failure of the Upper House to quit
business for they insist that they will
not work during this session; that they
are tired of being kept in Honolulu at
added expense to themselves and no
prospect that any good can be accom-
plished; that they want an extra ses-
sion or nothing.
The session of Saturday was one of
the Senate alone, unless that short
gathering of the members of the House,
during which time there was the usual
amount of heated atmosphere, the texts
of the two men used to talking on such
subjects being, the necessity of going
home at once. In the Senate when the
call to order was made there were five
Independents and four Republicans. The
first business was the recent of a mes
sage from the Executive. The message
was as follows:

ate. y

ceipt of Senate concurrent resolution

TWO
MILLIONS
Fire Claims Filed
Show That
Total.

More than 81, 900, 900 are represented
by the claims which have been filed
with the Fire Claims Commission. All
the claims not in are in course of prep
aration, and it is understood that thess
include the large claims for merchan :
disc and buildings, so that the total
amount which will be placed before the
commission will be nearly double the
sum contemplated in the act which
brought the commission into existence
The number of claims before the COM
mission now reaches the total of 5,516.
The claims so far filed seem to be
largely those of the Chinese and Japan
ese. These have been principally pre-
pared in the offices of the japanese
consul and by the Chinese consul, the
United Chinese Societies and the late
Paul Neumann. Claims thus prepared
have been made up according to sys-
tenn which has facilitated the workings
of the commission to such an extent
that Chairman Macfarlane says thal
while at first the commission was able
to pass upon only five or six each day;
now the work is going on at the rate Oh
fifty or sixty a day. In view OF TINS
speed the members of the commission
believe that they may get well along
with their work before the end OF their
session, even if the Legislature does
not provide that the commission snouio
sit long enough to clear up its dockee
According to the announced program
there will be no judgments entered un-
til the work of the commission is finish
ed, so that there will be no line upon
the methods pursued by the commission
as to the claims of any variety OF losers
by the great fire of Chinatown
The claims of Chinese which have
been filed through the sources named
so far number 2,715, and the aggregate
of these is placed at s686,000 in round
numbers. The Chinese claims are not
yet all in, there being some $50 whlch
are yet to be taken up, and the totai
of these was estimated, by men con-
nected with the two offices which have
the papers in charge, to be in the nelgn-
borhood of $50. 900. There were of course
many claims which were made up py
outside attorneys. These cannot be llst-
ed as vet. and the total which is given
for them by men who have followed
the task of preparation of claims Is
only an estimate. 1t Is thought by such
sources of information that the entire
amount of the outside claims Will not
exceed $780,
The claims of the japanese sufferers
by the fire have been handled through
the office of the consul of that nation,
Mr. Mkt Saito Mr.. Saito has filed most
of them, but has not yet made up

This work is now going on. MI. Salto
