An instance Of Mans Humanity e
Animals in the South
African War.

The seamy side of life in both armies
of the South African war has been duly
described by newspaper correspond
ents and writer's. It is pleasant to find
in recent account of the work of the
British and Colonial naval brigades
that in some instances, at Least, mans
inhumanity was limited to man, and
not extended to animals, says Youths
Companion.
''1n the Paardeburg lager some of
the bluejackets found three orphaned
chickens. These little balls of yellow
fluff were quickly adopted and soon be-
came great pets, and went with the
brigade to Bloemfontein. During the
march the. chicks were slowed in a
kettle; but when the men halted thew
hoped out, went the round of the
messes for food, returned to their ket-
tie when tired, and waited to be lifted
back into it.
"The men had other pets; a wound
ed dog which they carefully tended till
he recovered and joined his master:
another dog which had followed them
from Nader camp, and used frequent
~ to make himself useful by catching
horses and bringing them back; a goat
which lived, or seemed to, on newspa-
pers and tobacco, and a very wee, mis-.
cradle lamb with sore eyes, which they
used to battle daily with warm water,
and round the neck of which they tied
q ribbon.
ION the march to Bloemfontein.
while in camp, an officer saw q blue
jacket discover an OK, sunk in the
muddy river bank, unable to move, and
dying of exhaustion. Jack gave it
kick to see If it was alive, and saun-
tered off.
"sCruel brute!' muttered the officer.
He might let it die in peace!'
I'm a few minutes back came Jack
with coil of rope and three chums,
and these four, with soldier, worked
hard for an hour, got the beast out,
dragged it under the shade of a tree.
and brought it water from tho river
in their hats"

A Hopeless Case.

There was a brilliant reception at
the house of Mrs. Amory. Among
the guests was a certain Mr.. Mao
kenzie, man of grave and some
what taciturn demeanor, whom sew
eral Of the young ladies tried tn en-
gage in conversation, but without
much success.
One of them spoke to the hostess
about him.
"He seems to be rather uneasy and

she said.

bright smile, ''he can't talk any
thing but ense."-Youth's Compan.

rHr CROWN LANDS OF HAWAII
Ex-Queen Li1uokalani stiil aoias
That She IL Entitled to All neS"
enue from Them.

uawaii,s ex-aueen, Liliuokalani, has
never giyen up the hope OF recovering
COMPENSATION for the loss OF the crown
lands which were confscated when the
rennblic was established and when
the United States since acquired as
one of the legacies OF annexatlon'
These crown lands have been varl'
onslv estimated as worth from $l5,-
600. 600 to 5000, 900. Their titles date
back to the founding OF the dynasty
Of the Kamehamehas. The ex-queen,s
interest in them is centered in the rev.
enues which they are capable OF pro-
ducin9, amounting to 500, 900 or sooo'-
600 per year, to all of which she no1as
that she is entitled by Inheritance. AS
a partial measure of compromising her
for the loss which accompanied her de-
thronement, the territorial legislature
granted her an annual stipend OF Slo'-
600 last wear, which she has since
drawn through her agent in monthly
installments OF $625, states Tue Dan
Francisco Chronicle.
In accepting this stipend, the e1-
queen has not given up her hope how
ever. of recovering the crown lands
or their equivalent in cash. She went
to Washington last November ana re-
NAMED there through the session OF
congress, attending personally to her
interests. Her efforts were reward
ed on the 25th of last month by the
passage of a resolution by the SEN
ate empowering the committee on Pa
cific islanoo and Porto Rico to lnyestl'
gate during the recess OF congress
among other territorial subjects, 1.-The
area, condition, quality and value OF
the crown lands, the rents, issues OF
other revenues or proceeds received
therefrom since January II. 1898 1.-THE
date of Liliuokalani's deposition as
uueen), and whether or not the former
queen of said islands now possess any
legal or equitable right, title or IN
terest in or to the same, or whether
said queen has any claim against the
United States, legal or equitable, BY
reason of having parted heretofore
with her title therein" The resolu'
ton was introduced by Senator Mitch.
ell, of Oregon, and was seemingly
passed without opposition.
Mitchell is one of the committee on
Pacific islands, Of which Foraker is
chairman. The committee, or sub
committee which the chairman may
appoint to carry out the purposes OF
the resolution, is empowered Ito send
for persons and papers, to visit the
islands, to administer oaths and to sit
during the recess Of congress-" Prac.
tically the resolution opens up anew
the whole contention growing out OF
the confiscation Of the crown lands by
the provisional government Of Hawaii
at the time Of the overthrow Of the
monarchy. It also lays the founda-
ton for a fierce struggle in congress
to pass one Of the biggest private
claims which has been before it in
many years. Whatever action con-
gress may take finally, it is self-evi.
dent that the report of the committee
will give the ex-queen standing in
the federal courts, which there is rea-
SON to believe she did not have before
the resolution was adopted.

London Dine. At Noon.

Except in certain circles, from the
upper middle class or the lower upper
classes upward, among whom the Gus.
tom of evening dinner prevails, the re-
spectacle English custom is to serve
dinner at noon, the evening meal rang
ing all the way from the workman's
repast of tea with wrinkles, bloaters,
or jam, to the heavy supper of game
and pastry for the rich. To this GUS
tom the restaurants cater, but to the
large floating colonies of foreigners to
whom an evening dinner is necessity
they pay no heed. They continue COM
placently to serve dinners from IL to
g." after which hour one may whistle
in vain, for no dinner will he get. AS
a natural result, an army of French
and Italian restaurants are doing a
brisk business and amassing fortunes,
not only in catering for their own
people, but in bringing comfort to
many an English bachelor emanci-
pated from tea and jam. Not only in
the matter of service, but also in the
menu, does the village restaurant cling
faithfully to old custom.-Outlook.

Starzey was silent. Somehow the
pallor and the expression of her face,
the faint smile, and her voice-all
these did not appeal to him now, and
soon he found fault with the dress
she wore, with the very armchair
in which she was seated. He re-
called his love for her-the dreams

years ago-and he felt ashamed Of
himself.
They drank tea with sweet cakes.

SURF RIDING IN HAWAII.

Have Great sport.

The best sport in Honolulu il sur,

gaming and iceboating combined.
We invited some army officers to the
fun, hired q couple Of muscular M.
tives and their handsome 3O-foot ca.
noe, put on our bathing suits and
padded out into the breakers, says
writer in the Tacoma Ledger.
The canoe is dugout, made Of the
valuable koawood. It has an outrig
ger, a fair-sized log fastened parallel
to the canoe by means of two curved
braces of beams. Ours was at least ~
years old, had been used by royalty
and was worth $500.
We worked out against the stih
breakers for about half a mile and then
turned and rested a bit, waiting the
critical time to catch big one and
come in with its rush. That is the
science of surf riding, to catch the
breaker at the turn. If you are too
quick you find your canoe thrown aside
or capsized or running in with swell
waveinstead Of the one you were after.
It you are too late the big wave breaks
over or rolls under the canoe and on
to its glorious finish and YOU have no
part In it.
But if you catch it right-and the
natives generally do-you all paddle
for dear life at the captain's command,
force the canoe to its top speed just
AZ the breaker is forming and then
come in with the great wall of water
just back of you, everybody yelling,
the spray flying, the waters roaring
and rushing.
You live at the rate of mile a min
ute. You seem to be going even twice
a. fast as you are. Usually there are
two or three other canoes out and you
have all the excitement Of race. But
even without other canoes it is race
"a race with the breaker.
You are wild with binding rush. the
swish and swirl and whirl of the SPRAY.
The sense of great moving wall Of
water just back of you, the roar Of
waves all about you. It is immense!
Fertility OF Mind.nao.
Backed by American capital Min
danao would become a strong COM
petitor of Java in its sugar planta-
tons, having the most fertile soil in
the world and being peculiarly adapt
cd to the raising of this staple article.
The region to the north of Lake Depao
is q ffourishing hemp country. Sugar,
coffee and cocoanuts can also be
raised in abundance. From Lake
Lanao to the Pacific ocean the noun
tains are filled with gold, iron and
coal. There are many miners here
now, but they are keeping quiet and
saying nothing. However, there have
been exhibited rich specimens Of gold
taken tvom the hills about Parane
grains about the size of wheat
grains. In the popular mind Min
danao has been pictured as a wild, un-
explored country, peopled by savages.
Not so, however, and although somo
parts are unfit for development there
remains vast territory as fertile ana
as rich as any in the United States.
Leaving out the west uninhabited
parts, the south and east afford ample
fields for colonization.-Nanila Free

Kingston, Oct. 27.-The issue of the

tained a very candid and manly state
ment concerning the false charges of

present in Washington, when similar
charges were made before the senate

confirmation of our worthy governor, l

mon Justice to the high minded and
honorable board Of public lands that
after an extended consideration of the
subject by said committee, composed Of
Republicans and leading Democrats,
they unanimously exonorated his ex-
cellency, brushed aside the unsupport-
ed charges and reported in favor of
confirmation. Tt would seem that af-
ter such distinguished investigation by
leading Democratic statesmen, it is
frivilous to say the least, to repeat
those charges which can only be done
to work upon the credulity of unin-
formed citizens and for the purpose Of
capturing votes In the coming election

Cannot Stand the Crowd.

Quite number of Las Vegas Demo-
Gratis, who cannot stand the Democrat
ic-Pop- Union Independent Sorehead
ticket put in the field against the reg
ular Republican ticket Of San Miguel
county, have made a combination and
have prepared ticket which they will
vote on November 4 next. This will be
headed by H. B. Ferguson, Democrat
ic candidate for delegate to congress,
but the remainder of it will be COM
posed of the regular Republican nomi-
nees. These citizens say they are
Democrats and believe in Democratic
principles, but cannot go the mess of
crow prepared for them by the combine.
Hence, although they dislike to do it,
they will vote the ticket above indica
ted.
Charles Rodulph, the fusion candi-
date for sheriff, has left Las Vegas for
Rociada. Some of Mr.. Rodulph's good
friends advised him to go home and
keep his hands in his pockets with his
money and not let the hungry herd in
his ranks get turn at him, as there
was no hope for election.

SAN JUAN COUNTY POLITICS.
Pendleton Will Likely Receive Majority for Represen

Editor of the New Mexican.

Aztec, Oct. 80.
After much trouble and consideration
the Democratic executive county COM
mittee of San Juan prevailed upon Leo
nor Garcia OF Largo precinct, to accept
the Democratic nomination for member
Of the council from the counties of Taos,
Rio Arriba and San Juan. No Democrat
could be found in the counties of Taos
and Rio Arriba, who was willing to
make the race against Malaquias Mar
tinez, Republican candidate for that
position and who has twice served the
people of the district in that capacity,
therefore it was given to the San Juan
Democrats.
The sentiment in this county is grow
ing very rapidly in favor of giving Gran
vile Pendleton, Republican nominee for
the house of representatives from the
district handsome majority. His ex-
cellent services for the county as vice
president of the Bureau of Immigration
and while serving in the 34th legislative
assembly, are being recognized and
many Democrats say they will vote for
him as he fully deserves very complete
endorsement.
