The republican congressman who
dragged the name of William Nc
Kinley into a political debate in the
national house on the question of
government of the Philippines eN-
hibited an equal degree of cheek and
bad taste. The adoption of such an
occasion to pay tribute to the dead
for the sake of it's effect, was coarse
and the euIogium under the circum-
stances was cheap. Republicans
were not more loyal and sincere than
democrats in their expressions of in
dignation and grief when President
Mckinley met his cruel fate; in fact
the only unfeeling remark that came
from a notable source was that of a
distinguished republican senator. But
neither the death of the president,
nor the manner of his taking off af-
fected, nor should affect. the honest
differences of opinion and conviction
that a great host of his countrymen
entertained with him on matters of
national policy and government. And

great sight to see the great lake of
lava boil over the sides of the crater
and push its way down into the bowl

eruptions more violent in the ages
past.
THE sight is such an unusual one
that it causes a great influx of visitors
each year, and that naturally is a good
thing for the island financially. That's
why we like the volcano to be active.
Kilauea's crater is the largest in the
world. People used to go and sit by
the edge to watch for an overflow of
the lava. The guides could tell al
most to the minute wnen these over
flows would occur.
''In 1882 there threatened a great
eruption, and the natives were afraid
that the town of Hilo would be in
iured. The Princess Ruth, of the
royal family OF Kamahameha, went to
the mountain down which the lava
had begun to run. With her she car
ried several chickens and one or two
other animals. Standing b. the edge
of the crater, she threw up her head

Died on DEVILS Island

Only the other day there died on
/ Devils Island, the French convict set
/ tlement on Cayenne, the man who in
vented and patented the Geographic
system now universally adopted in
France, and known as the multiple
transmission system. Victor Nimault
twenty years ago, was an electrical
employe of the French telegrapbie
service. In 1871 he discovered and le-
gally protected a system of multiple
transmission, on which he had been
busted for years Almost coincsdent-
ally NJ. BaudOt mot an ofieiaD in
vented a somewhat similar apparatus
This NJ. Baudot, being a personal
friend of NJ. Raynaud, the director of
the telegraphic department, found
favor with that gentleman. and the
Bandot system was finally accepted
and universally adopted as the better
OF the two. Victor Nimault brought
action against NJ. Baudot and NJ Raw
maud, and, after losing lawsuit after
lawsuit, fired at and MORALLY wounded
NJ. Raynaud. The unhappy inventor
was tried, sentenced to imprisonment
for life, and in due course was sent out
to Cayenne. Twenty years having
elapsed, he was recently pardoned by
President Loubet. A subscription made
by his friends in France left by the
same boat which took out his pardon.
But it arrived too late, for Victor Nj
mault, -bo had been i'll for some time,
died the day before port was made.
The irony of it all is that poor Nj
mault's system has been in use in
France for many years now; for. after
he was sentenced. it was found to be
preferable to the one adopted and APP
proved by Raynaud, the then director
of the telegraphic department.

Servant Used Dinner Material with

There is a prominent doctor in
Germantown who is busy telling lie
tie joke on himself, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph. 1t appears that
he employed an Irish servant, who
had just arrived from the ''ould sod"
Starting out one morning, he noticed
his office windows were rather dirty,
and calling Bridget he instructed her
to clean them before he returned. AT
the same time he told her that he
would stop and purchase a new
chamois skin and send it home, and
with this she was to clean the win
6ows- After he had gone his rounds
he returned to his office. CHANGING at
the windows he found them thickly
streaked with grease. He called
Bridget and the following coloquy
took place:
Bridget. didn't I tell you to clean
the windows?"
Yes, sor."
and didn't I tell you to use the
new chamois?" /
Yes. sor." -
We'll, did You use it?"
Sure, l did, sor." i
let me see the chamois," said
the doctor. and Bridget promptly
brought it Then for the first time he
learned that his wife had left the
house half hour before he did in
the morning and had sent home some
tripe. The doctor declines to say
what happened to the chamois skin.
