GILBERT ISLANDERS REACHED
SOUTH SEA HOMES SAFELY

were happy on reaching the Gilbert
group.
Mr.. Arundel, who assisted the Rev.
Hiram Bingham in sending the Island
ers back to their homes, and who ac~
companied them on the Ilesworth,
spoke very highly to a correspondent
regarding Mr. Isaia, the Ellis islander
who spent five years here as a mis-
sfonary among the Gilbertese colony
and who accompanied them home. The
box that was sent out by Honolulu
people on the Ilesworth to Mr.. De La
Porte, the Pleasant Island missionary,
was carried on to Sydney and will be
forwarded on a trading vessel from
that point to Mr.. De La Porte.
The night before the Ilesworth ar
rived at Tarawa the Islanders held a
big prayer meeting, singing as clos
ing hymn, God Be With You Till We
Meet again"

News ha3 reached Honolulu that the
Gilbert Islanders who left for their
South Sea homes on the steamship
Ilesworth had reached their homes
after happy voyage.
Word to this effect was brought from
Sydney by the steamship Sierra yes
terday The South Sea Islanders sailed
from Honolulu on October 18th. Short
" after the Ilesworth lifted her anchor
off Honolulu harbor a baby girl was
born into the company. The next day
the birth of a boy enlivened matters.
The Islanders were landed at the island
of Tarawa on October 80 and 81. They
were received kindly by the British
Commissioner there and he promised to
send those who lived on other islands
of the group to their homes by Ger
man trading vessel which was expect

Thus ended a famous week of Ha-
waiian history. 1t was a death blow
to the plotters who had for weeks been
arranging with the American Minister
for a revolution to carry the ex-Queen
to the throne, to overturn the govern
ment, and to practically drive out of
the country the men who had dethron-
ed her. During the two or three weeks
preceding these events a letter from
Secretary Gresham, in which he advo-
Gated restoration, had been published
here and had caused great excitement.
A great mass meeting was held in Ho-
nolulu, at the drill shed, attended by
fifteen hundred enthusiastic men, who
raised an indignant protest against the
proposed actions of Cleveland and
Gresham. A citizens protest was also
presented to Willis in which it was
declared that interference by the Uni
ted States would constitute an act of
war. Later the arrival of the Corwin
carrying Cleveland's instructions to
Willis to demand the surrender of the
Government to the Queen, easily set
public tension at its highest strain.

AN INTERESTING TRAVELLER


There was an interesting visitor
In the city Wednesday in the person
OF Willie Schwiegershausen, a young
German journalist, who is touring
the globe on bicycle He was on
his way from Waco to Dallas where
he IS to deliver lecture today. His
stay in Waxahachie was of short
duration, but while partaking of a
meal at local restaurant he had
some interesting experiences to re-.
late. According to his story he is
touring the world awheel and has
already pedaled over four continents,
the United States completing his
Journey. He says he started on his
trip on June 10, 1899, from his native
town, Leipzig, in company with two
other Journalists. Soon after start
ing on their journey one of his COM
panions fell i'll of fever and died
and the other met tragic death at
the hands of Bedouin in the Arab
! ian desert.
/ Some of the countries he has
passed through are Germany, Swift
erland, Austria Hungary, Servia,
Bulgaria, Turkey, Asia Minor,
| Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Arabia,
Babylonia, Persia, Baluchistan,
India, Burma, China, South
Africa; the continent of Australia,
New Zealand, Peru, Ecuador, Mic
aragua, Guatemala and Mexico from
| the border Of Guatemala to Laredo.
1t is point of his journey to get
the signatures Of officials from every
place passed en- route and to inter
view the ruler of the different cOun-
tries and he has a most interesting
collection ofcertificates, autographs
seals and photos from all parts OF
the world He carries a photograph
camera and takes pictures Of tbs
interesting scenes he sees, which
shall serve to illustrate book which
ne will publish.
He was the first man to cross the
toughest countries of the world on
a bicvIe and has met with many ex.
periences and strange adventures.

On account of the scarcity of cot
ton the Waxahachie cotton mill
shut down last night temporarily.
The management bought several
hundred bales of cotton last spring,
but on account of the lateness of the
crop this year the supply was ex-
hausted before the new cotton be-
gan to move. The management will
not let the high price of cotton keep
the mill standing idle and will begin
buying cotton as soon as it is ready
for the market. 1t is thought the
mill will resume operations inside
of thirty days.

ALCOHOL AND THE BODY.
A Fathers Clean, Temperate Habits
Saves the Arm of His
Young Son.

About seven years ago Bonnie Mich
OILS, a 14-year-old schoolboy, was care
lessly handling a gun. 1t was acct
dentally discharged and heavy
charge passed through his arm, al
most tearing it from the body, shatter-
ing the bone in several places, and
decorating the flesh until it hung in
strips from the bone. An old soldier
who helped to care for the boy until
the doctor could get there said he
never saw as sickening a sight upon
any battlefield, or saw as fearfully a
lacerated wound.
When the doctor came he made i'm
mediate preparations to amputate the
arm. The boy begged pitiously that it
might not be cut off. Moved by his
pleading, the physician took the father
to one side and this to him:
Mr.. Nichols, if that were any other
mans boy in this whole township, |
would amputate that arm at once, as
the only chance to escape blood poi

LIFE WITHOUT GERMS.
Modern Science Believes 1t to Be Inn
possible in Animal and Vege-
table Kingdoms.

A valued correspondent, living in
Wiliamstown, Mas, asks this question:
rs it possible for any plant to start and
grow without seed to begin WITH" By
way OF excuse for the inquiry he added
the following statement:
''N nen we turn up the soil to the depth
Of two or three feet or much deeper, and
let it remain under the influence of the
air, plants of various kinds will appear,
in spite of the fact that the land is ap-
parently protected from any importa-
ton of seeds from outside Indeed, some
varieties will appear, perhaps, unlike
those growing on adjacent ground at the
time, and unlike anything known there
for many years. Very likely if person
of average reasoning power is asked to
account for such phenomenon he will
say: oh, the plants were produced by
the soil ,"
The same thing probably happens here
which is said to occur in the case of forest
growths in other parts of New England.
Clear off a tract where almost nothing
but pine is in view, and crop of oak will
come up. Clear off the oak from another
tract, and pine will succeed it, For some
reason the two, apparently, will not trive
equally well on the same ground at the
same time. Hence they take turns The
period during which the one is in posses
sion may be half a century, perhaps, but
when it surrenders the other kind sue
ceeds In cases like these undoubtedly
the seed is self-sown, but for some mys-
FERROUS reason it lies dormant for a long
time. Its presence may be unsupported,
but it is there.
Now, the vitality of seeds differs enor-
mously in different plants Some, espe-
cially of kinds that are useful to man, re-
tain their life for only short time, while
Others survive for more than one or two
generations. There can be no doubt that
when plants develop on the surface of the
ground they come from seed which has
been dropped there Intentionally by
man, has been imported recently by the
wind or by birds, or which was self-sown
a long time ago. In any case, they sprang
from seed. No reputable and educated
botanist to-day believes that vegetable
life can be developed in any other way.
The soil can nourish, but it cannot pro-
duce, growth. There must be germs to
start with. biologists take the same
view of animal life Long and bitter con-
troversies over the latter question have
been waged, but the maxim: "All life
must come from previous life" is now
firmly held by all competent authorities.
