common sense in women. and the order and
comfort that sprang from them.
The weather varied. the spring came up
late that way. the trees were out in strange
little green bottle brushes. or grey-green
mysteries not unlike silvery peaches. just
set; and though the mountain air would
not allow her to feel anything but physic-
ally well, Pip was inwardly lost and at sea,
though the idea of treachery, treachery
from Sarah, never once crossed her mind.
Some one has said that when you want to
revenge yourself. it is immaterial upon
whom you do it, and ii would be hard to
say what end Sarah proposed to her i'm
pudent forgery Of Johns handwriting and
her cleverly-carried out plan for Pip's
evanishment-though she was careful to
send the girl to place where she would be
safe. Probably she only longed to make
them both as miserable as she herself had
been. and 1t was purely feminine lash-out
after which she would resign herself to
witnessing the happiness that should have
been hers; but Ted Hovrarth had appeared
on the scene. and all was changed.
Behind his broad, devoted back she could
safely shelter from John and Pip and the
rest Of them-besides, they had to catch her
first, for Ted's duties took her practically
round the world, and it would be a year at
least before she was in England again.
Therefore, in burst of generosity, the
very morning Of her marriage, Sarah sat
down and wrote John a letter.

KING KALAKAUA'S COINS.

New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
Hawaii has only about 100000 to be
turned into the United States mint to be re-
coined into American dollars under the pro-
visions of the coinage bill passed by Con-
gress. The Kalakaua money has been In
circulation on the islands for twenty years,
and it has always been on parity with
the American coins.
There is an interesting story In connec-
ton with the coinage of this money orig
inally Claus Spreckels was responsible for
its coinage and made several hundred thou
sand dollars on a contract that he got to
do the work The issue was 100000.
Spreckels furnished the bullion. and the
work was done at the San Francisco mint
in 1883. This was the first time that Ha-
waii had any silver coinage of her own. and
there was a big rush to get possession Of
the money.
A shrewd gang of spectators soon saw
an opportunity to make a good profit out
of the coins by selling them to collectors,
and after some little delay they bought up
all the silver dimes. of which there were
some 100000, and held them. The dime was
the smallest fractional bit of currency and
was soon obtainable only at a premium.
The dimes are now worth 40 cents apiece
and ara hard to obtain at even that price.
An attempt was also made to corner the
silver quarters, but as there were 10000 or

There has lately been held a congress
of lovers, but as there was wreck on the
road as they were journeying toward the
place OF meeting they arrived in very
confused and mixed state. Cd Adam Bede
and Janice Meredith came in together, and
behind them were 60 Olive Newcome and
Hero, followed by 90 Paris and Joselyn
Leigh. CD Ralph Percy and Ethel came
soon after, and then 90 Isaac. looking very
uncomfortable in the society or the gay

Romeo and Rowena, and Cs) Richard Car

strangely-assorted couples, 90 Leander and

was not long, however, before order was
brought out of confusion. and each lover
found his own proper sweetheart.

They told me in the night that she was dead.
And then 1 knew from out my life had fed
All beauty; that thenceforth my pathway led
In lonely lands; that should miss the red
OF woodland roses and the mornings glow.
For she was my best friend! The words she said
In prayer each night beside my trundle bed
I still recall: the pillow then she spread
With such a touch that L no more can knowi
She sought the smoothest ways for me to 30.
And her sweet faith brought all the mountains
low!
The seeds of kindness that she planted grow
Are blooming now unframed by frost or snow.
BY crystal dews from heaven nightly fed!
And when dwell upon the long ago
Her smile to me is bright as was the bow
To those upon the food 1 miss 1t so
Now when the winds unbridled wildly blow
And rains descend on my defenseless head!

This resolution failed Of passage, but
officials of the local order Of the Federation
Of Musicians have openly boosted OF iate
that it will be more successful at the coming

resolution Lieut.. Santelmann said to-day:

received with ovations by our people
but whenever l have desired to play an
engagement in or outside Of Washington
have been met with a storm OF protest
from local musicians unions"
About the time the Bartholdt resolution
was under discussion, the American Fedora
ton of Musicians embodied the following
article in it's constitution
No member of the American Federation Of
Musicians shall be permitted at amy time to
play q paid enlargement with any enlisted
man of the United States Army or Navy
This, OF course, makes an enlisted man
ineligible to membership in the American
Federation Of Musicians. Then. in order
to back up the extraordinary assumption
contained in the quoted article, the Amerl-
can Federation of Musicians connected
itself with the American Federation Of
Labor. the strongest labor organization,
numerically and probably otherwise, In
the United States.
With full knowledge Of the power Of
the American Federation of Labor, few
unemployed local musicians secured a
charter from the American Federation OF
Musicians and organized as Musical Pro-
tective Union, Local 1871, thus acquiring
the support of the Central Labor Union OF
Washington, which is composed OF the COM
bined labor organizations OF the District
Of Columbia. afiiliating with the American
Federation of Labor.
Immediately after being organized under
the laws of the national body, Local
Union 1911 served notice upon the various
theatre managers Of this city that they
must discharge every member of the Marine
Band having a place in the several orches-
tras, while the other members Of the or
chestras, who we're all members OF the
Washington Musical Assembly, affiliated
with the Knights Of Labor, to which every

As a result OF this ultimatun. six members
Of the Marine Band were discharged from

filed from the ranks Of Local 1851, and
the leaders OF the orchestras were COM
PEELED to import musicians from other
cities.
Two OF the seven places Of amusement
refused fatty to comply with the union
demand and made no changes in their
orchestras at that time. They have since
been forced to discharge such men az were
members Of the Marine Band, and there IL

Although membership in this Musical
Protective Union Is refused 10 members OF

Guard Band OF the District OF Columbia,

House functions in the winter. In addition
to this. each member receives 81. 80 a month
Communication Of rations and little over
two cords of wood year, making the total
yearly salary of first -class musician 1897. 90
and of a second-class musician $747.9e.
With regard to this phase of the case,
Lieut.. Santemann, director of the band,
said to-day:
From the above amounts a first or
second-class musician must deduct house
rent, which is anywhere from SIS to 325
month. He must provide for his family
and clothe him. and as 10 per cent. OF the
men are married and have families depend
dent upon them for support, it Is readily
the ability required to hold place in this
organization which has been continuous
for upward Of hundred years, is taken
into consideration.
At least a dozen members Of the Marine
Band came to the organization from the
most famous bands and orchestras In the
country. They had received salaries rang
ing from 335 to S75 week, but they became
tired of rowing from place to place about
the country, away from their families.
After joining the Marine Band they were
enabled, until the continued organized
labor agitation had it's effect, by means OF
outside engagements, to make up the dit
ference between their compensation as
members of the band and the amount they
had been accustomed to receive.
At present every theatre orchestra in
Washington is closed to members OF the
Marine Band, and this is true also of the
greater numbAT Of places in and around
the city where musicians Of standing are
employed.
At first, the attacks upon the band were
confined to appeals to public sentiment
through the press and by other means
against the employment Of the members
of the band in competition with musicians
from civil life; but in December, 1902, the
American Federation Of Labor secured
the introduction Of joint resolution, pre-
sented in the House by Representative
! Bartholdt OF Missouri, directed primarily
against the United States Marine Band
1t reads In part az follows

stoned officer. musician. or private. shall be
