Pennies from Hessian Graves.

A number of prominent men OF
Trenton, N. j.. are now giving fancy
prices for dead mems pennies. These
are found in the graves of the old
First Presbyterian churchyard, where
Col. Rohl, the Hessian commander
and others who were with him in the
celebrated battle of Trenton, we're
buried
Excavations We're necessary to
building the foundation of new choir
gallery. The bones of long buried dead
have been disturbed and are to be
reinterred. In these graves have been
found the pennies which have become
valuable for keepsakes and pocket
pieces. The men who have found
these pennies are not saying much
about them, because of the fear that
those in authority may compel the
finders to hand the coin over and re-
bury, according to the old-time Ger.
man custom when coin was thrown
into the grave.
The general supposition is that these
pennies were buried with the Hessians
slaughtered in the battle of Trenton

THE VOLCANO IS
STILL BURNING

HILO, August 29.-The volcano at
Kilauea is in the most violent state of
eruption that has occurred since 1892.
An earthquake shook Hlo last Mon
day night and within a few minutes
thereafter a telephone message from
Manager Waldron at the Volcano
House, thirty miles away, stated that
the pit of Halemaumau was rejecting
light plainly visible on the clouds.
The message also stated that Waldron
would go at once to the crater's edge
three miles away and see what had
happened.
Tuesday morning Waldron was able
to report that he had looked into the
pit and seen a boiling, tempest tossed
lake of molten lava, 400 feet in dame
ter and probably 500 to 1000 feet below
the rim of the great cauldron.
The face of the lake of liquid fire
would alternately be black and white
like the gushing fluid that leaps from
the furnaces of a steel plant. The OK
idization and cooling of the fiery fluid
would blacken the surface with a pail
that would clothe the vast inverted
cathedral in darkest gloom. A culver
caused by further subterranean up
heavals would break this oxide ice into
a fretwork of a thousand incandescent
cracks, lighting up the smoke charged
pit with a fierce glare.
Here and there over the surface of
the lake, columns of white hot lava
would shoot upwards like the harmless
fountains in the public gardens. The
great fOrbidding walls of the blouse
of Everlasting Fire" would simmer
a while in amaZement with this unac-
custOmed light, and as the geysers of
fire would die away, and the surface
again turn black, the whole pit once
more would be hidden in darkness and
smoke.
All day Tuesday the same conditions
prevailed. Tuesday night the light
on the clouds. The same conditio
from the red hot furnace was reflected
held through Wednesday, and Thurs
day Mr.. Waldron reported the volcano
as simply magnificent" Wednesday
night people living near Hilo could see
the vivid reflection on the clouds.
The present upheaval of lava seems
to be from the very bottom of the era
ter and not from a wound in the side
as appeared in June. The liquid lava
| is troubled and convulsed as from
| powerful activity of forces below.-Hi-

LEGISLATION FOR
ISLAND or GUAM

WASHINGTON, August 22.-The
Navy Department will recommend that
Congress enact some legislation which
will clear up the anomalous situa-
ton which exists on the Island of
Guam. The administration of justice
is one of the things which call most ur-
gently for action.
: is possible that a way out of the
difficulty might be found by extending
over the island the provisions of the
act which extends the Federal Statutes
over the guano islands and gives the
United States Court into whose juris-
diction an offender from those islands
is first brought, jurisdiction of his
case. If the provisions of the statute
were extended to Guam, petty cffenses
could be tried there in the existing
court, and graver crimes, including
those for which capital punishment is
prescribed could be tried in any Unit
ed States Court into the jurisdiction Of
which an offender was brought
Legislative action is also urged to
insure the stability of the tariff laws
was created by an executive order of
President Mckinley and according to
the decision on insular cases is uncOn-
stitutional The receipts from customs
duties have made the island self-sup-
porting, but unless legislation is enact
ed by Congress a test case could be
brought in a United States Court
whicn would nullify the present tariff
and thus destroy the revenues of the
island.

OIL WAS TOO HEAVY.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 21.-The
slow trip of the steamer Nevadan from
Honolulu, occupying ten days, is attri-
buted to the failure of the burners to
operate properly with the crude oil of
this coast. The oil-burning plant in
stalled in the new steamer was design
ed in the East where the fuel oil is
more volatile and better suited to the
Nevadan's style of burners than the
heavier oil produced in this State. The
oil consequently would not vaporize,
and as a result of being fed to the fire
in stream produced heavy smoke. A
change in the style of burners will
remedy the difficulty. No trouble was
caused by the use of low pressure air
in the operation of the oil-burnlng
plant.

NO JURISDICTION.
Emnger's Protest over Customs Duties
Dismissed.

The Board of General Appraisers has
dismissed the protest of John 'EfIinger
against the imposition of duties on
goods from Tutuila for lack OF juris-
diction. The Z. S. Attorney General
has held that goods coming to United
States territory from Tutuila after that
island was annexed to the United, are
not subject to duty. Mr.. Ehinger inn
ported some curios from Tutuila and
was charged duty by the local custom
authorities.
The Board of General Appraisers
takes the ground that in view of the
ruling by the Attorney General it has
no authority or jurisdiction over such
protests.
This action of the Board does not put
an end to the matter, however for it
will be brought to the attention of the
Treasury Department by the local GUS
toms authorities and the duties will,
no doubt, be RENTED.
