so amending the organic act as to re-
quire the organization of county, city
and town governments. Much testimo-
ny was taken bearing upon this ques-
ton.
THE late queen, Liliuokalani (Mrs.
Dominis), having presented to the COM
mittee a claim for losses alleged to
have been sustained by her by reason
of the loss of the crown lands when she
was deposed, the committee made
full investigation as to the condition
character and value of these lands at
the time of her deposition as queen,
and of the revenues arising therefrorl
annually and also, al the request OF
her attorneys, took the testimony OF
quite number of witnesses subpoena
ed on her behalf, which testimony bore
upon the general proposition as to the
advisability, from a public standpoint
of the general government making
some allowance to the exqueen.
THE whole time of the committee"
Mr.. itchell slater, with the exception
of few hours, was closely devoted to
the Investigations referred to, and the
committee has a mass of testimony
bearing upon the several subjects of in
quiry. The committee was in the ISL
ands twenty-five days and visited per-
sonally ten of the sixty-one plantations
on the different islands.
Owing to necessary delays in Sena-
tors Burton and Foster reaching this
city, it is not probable that our report
will be ready by the meeting of Con-
gress, but we hope to have it ready to
submit shortly afterward."
The report will not only set forth the
conclusions of the committee, but, it is
understood, also will make recommend
atoms for remedial legislation regard
ing some questions which have come
under the attention of the committee.
On these questions Senator Mitchell de-
ferred comment until the report has
been made. He volunteered the infor-
nation, however, that the committee
found great industrial depression and
business inactivity in the islands. and
when asked for its cause he replied:
The claim is made on the part of
those engaged in sugar production, AMI
also those engaged in dependent indus
tries, that the reason of the present in
dustrial depression arises mainly from
the low price of sugar and the high
price of labor. This claim, however, is
disputed by the representatives of 9TH
er classes of industries which are not
| so dependent on the sugar industry for
prosperity"
The reception and treatment of the
committee in the islands was comment
ed on most warmly by the senator, who
said that in every place and at all
times was the committee shown the
greatest cordially and respect. It's de-
sire Tor information was ever met free
~ not only by officials, but by citizens
ana business men of every class.

A STORY OF FORREST.
How the Peppery Actor Squared Ac.

How the Peppery Actor Squared Acr
counts With One Critic.
Many years ago Edwin Forrest the
celebrated actor, when in New York,
was in the habit of dining at Win
dust's, a noted restaurant on Park
row that was a favorite resort of ac-
tors and literary men. 1t usually hap
pened that Forrest would be Joined by
friends and that the little group would
sit together at one table. On one oc
casion 1t CHANGED that an Englishman
with a reputation for conceit and I'M
pertinence, who had scraped acquaint-
ance with the tragedian. was one of
the group.
Early in the course of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms
which he considered pleasantries about
Forests conception of certain roles
Encouraged by his own appreciation he
gave full play to his humor and con-
cluded each Of his impertinences with,
Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way"
To the astonishment of all who knew
Forests irascible disposition he bore
the Briton's offensive remarks patient
ly and seemingly ignored them as far
as possible. When, however, the nuts
were brought in by the waiter, he took
several cracked walnuts in his hand
and, walking over to the Briton's place,
Jocularly snapped them successfully in
the face Of that individual, lightly say
Ing after each shot, Pardon my free
dom, sir; it's my way" and snapped
him out of the restaurant.

Douglas ms a Printer.

Stephen A. Douglas, although not
recognized as such by the craft, was a
one time printer. The story of how he
and Long John" Wentworth came to-
gether on a printing proposition is still
afloat. but in such close quarters that
it is not often heard. Mr.. Wentworth
was printing The Democrat in Chicago
in 1898 and struggling to remove an
indebtedness of about $4,000. Douglas
called on him one day and said that he
had some handbills that must be print
ed at once.
"All right" answered Mr.. Went
worth, "but the facilities of this office
are limited. Do you want ten or hum
dred of these bills?"
The Little Giant" said he believed
200 or perhaps more would be needed.
every WELL" was the response. You
will have to turn printer yourself If
you expect to get them today"
The bill was set up and placed on the
hand press. Then Douglas was given
special instructions how to handle the
ink roller. A big apron was put on
him. and he performed the menial
work of roller boy, mixing the types,
while Mr.. Wentworth worked the
press

Grewsome FootbalI Lexend.

Where did football originate? Some
people give ancient Chester, in Eng
land, credit for bringing the great
winter pastime into existence. There
Is record of football playing in that
city in the year 1910, but Chestrians
believe in legend Of much earlier
date.
In the tenth century, 1t is said, a
Dane was captured and beheaded by
the citizens. Some one began kicking
the head about the streets, others
followed, and it was discovered that
this formed a new and decidedly fas-
cinating sport. This was repeated
whenever possible. but as enemies
heads became scarcer and the enter
tainment Of kicking them more diff
cult to procure 1t was at last arranged
'for the shoemakers yearly on Shrove
Tuesday to deliver to the draper, in
the presence Of the mayor of Chester,
one ball Of leather, called football,
of the value of 3s. I'D. or above"
There is evidently a fine precedent
for those concerned in the game "los-
ing their heads"

Miracles of Warfare.

Until war ceases, which will be the
greatest miracle Of all, 1t will always
be the exhibition ground Of miracles.
How can a bullet puncture a mans
coat behind and before or piece his
boot and sock and be gravely shaken
out Of both without wounding him?
And what mysterious channel does this
human body contain which leads a
bullet dexterously around the heart, a
hairs breadth from the seat of life, yet
never rending tia phenomenon vouch-
ed for by more than one army surgeon?
Shells have burst thunderously be-
tween the very legs Of soldiers and left
them still soldiers. Pompom shells of
two inches diameter have passed
through legs and arms without shatter-
ing the bone or bursting at the impact,
though there appears to be literally no
room for such a merciful performance.
In fact history Of the escapes In war
would be wild reading even after q
course Of Munchausen.

The LairdSs Inst Drink
Q . .

The remark of counsel in a will case
the other day that there were two Pc
culiarities about highlanders, their
great devotion to the national drink
and their power Of absorbing whisky
without apparently getting the worse
for it. recalls the old story of how the
laird of Garscadden took his last draft
A considerable number of lairds had
congregated in the clachan of law for
the ostensible purpose of talking over
some parish business. They talked well
and drank still better, and one of them
about the dawn of the morning, fixing
his eye on Garscadden, remarked that
he was looking unco cash" (very
ghastly).
Upon which the laird of Kilmardin-
ny coolly replied: "He has been WI his
Maker these twa hours! 1 saw him

WELL BROKEN HORSES.
The Silent Man Generally Has the
Most Manageable Animals.


Has any one ever noticed that a 81
lent man has usually the best broken
horses? 1t may not be true, but all the
men of my acquaintance who do not
talk much have well broken horses.
Drive with them, and you will wonder
how they manage their horses. No
management is visible. The horse goes
where he is wanted without apparent
effort on the part of the driver. One
famous turfman at least has been not
ed for his art in driving horse to the
limit Of his speed without making a
move while his rivals were lifting and
yelling and whipping theirs. How did
he do it? Don't know, but he was a
man of few words.
Probably there Is a lesson in this.
The average horse understands only a
few things thoroughly, only few
words, signs or commands. The silent
man gives only few, and he does not
confuse his horse. The horse is made
to know them thoroughly. He under
stands the man who understands him.
1t is a pleasure to drive a horse that
understands. Few pleasures in life can
equal it if the horse is q good, cheer
full driver. There would be more of
this kind if they were made to know q
few things thoroughly-the right
things.-National Stockman.

Queer Head Coverings That Are

In China the retainers and guards

chair coolies use a hat something like
their employers, but fatter, cheaper
and without button or feather. The
bOatmen have storm hat made of rat

than a yard in diameter.

when kissing Wa. Costly.

The case OF the People against Muir
line, heard by the governor of New
Haven colony in council on May day,
166O indicates the attitude toward un-
licensed kissing in those times. 1t ap-
peared that Jacob Murine and Sarah
Tuttle had been caught kissing each
other.
Jacob tried to throw the blame on
Sarah. saying he thought she had with
intent let fall her gloves" Sarah de-
MED the intent. Jacob then admitted
that he "tooke her by the hand, and
they both sat down upon chest, but
whether he kyssed her or she kyssed
him he knows not, for he never thought
of it since until Mr.. Raymond told him
that he had not layde it to heart as he
ought"
The stern governor, after duly lee
turing the guilty parties on the enormi-
ty of their offense, decreed that ''the
sentence therefore concerning them is
that they shall pay either of them a
fine of 20 shillings to the colony"

A willy Afghanistan.

A man was once condemned in At

a minor punishment. He had power
full friend, however, who was much
attached to him. This friend begged
the late ameer in duly submissive
tones to allow him to perform the Op-
Grafton, a favor which was granted.
However, the amateur begged the
ameer to show him what portion OF
each ear he wished to be removed. The
ameer accordingly touched them light,
ly. Whereupon the ingenious-and cour-
ageous- person proceeded to quote a
passage in the Koran which said that
anything touched by the representative
of the Almighty became sacred. The
despot smiled grimly and forgave them
both.

The Original Silhouette.

The name silhouette was derived
from Edenne de Silhouette, French
minister of finance in 1859, who intro
duced several parsimonious fashions
during his administration called a La
Silhouette, q name which continued to
be applied to the black profile portraits.
Silhouettes were executed in various
ways.
One Of the simplest is that Of tracing
the outlines of a shadows profile
thrown on a sheet Of paper and then
reducing them to the required size ell
ther by the eye or by means Of PAN
tograph. The camera obscura and cam
era lucida are also occasionally used
for the purpose.
