CARTER IS

A Student OF Stockholm
Falls Into Very
Grave Error.

sion, of a great society for international
studies, NJ. Robert Ahlin of Stockholm,

iian Consul at the city wherein he lives.
Robert, in fact, stands more in need
Of a director for his studies or for a
farther widening of them to take in
Hawaii, rather than of an appointment
to any kind of consulate. Witness the
letter that he writes, ali IN his OWL,
hand and on both sides of the paper
which is of itself in shocking bad form,
from an educational standpoint:
Stockholm, December Z, 1904

Now, George R. Carter is not King
of Hawaii-although some people near

that he is. Not bit. He is only Gov

hard enough to keep in order the men

GOVERNOR CARTER TALKS
OF HIS ANNUAL REPORT

Bless your heart said Governor
Carter, i've no kick coming at the
way in which the Advertiser is run

serial. even if the paper did scoop me
handle it. 1t insures it much wider
reading than it would otherwise get.
If it had all come out at once the pa
pers would have had condensed stories
of it, and the people at large might
never have seen it at all. The present
method keeTs up the interest and in
sures the widest and most desirable
publicity to the matters treated in the

so much frou-frou and elaboration 10
unsuited to practical garments.
And now to return to more summary
garments which have been much in
evidence of late. A certain comtesse
of renown is evidently possessed of
several tunics of beautiful lace, for
they have appeared on different occa-
sions: one, over the most beautiful
soft white satin messaline, seems to
be OF finest Mechlin, and has under
sleeves and a slightly open decolletage
composed Of folds of embroidered
mousseline de sole. Another tunic Is
Of point de Venise, and was worn At q
wedding reception over beautiful rose
oriental satin. The waist was encir-
cled by wonderful Marie Antoinette
band Of shaded old rose taffeta with q
marvellous strass buckle at the back.
Surmounting this frock was an exqui-
site white chip hat, the brim yelled
with embroidered lisse and trimmed
with single shaded pink sweeping
ostrich plume.
Very pretty are the new high
crowned hats adorned with a series of
small, nodding. shaded plumes. The
high-crowned hat in white or black
crinoline or leghorn, the brim yelled
with lace. is one of the prettiest frames
for a pretty face, and the newest Golf
fure over here Is so admirably suited
to this style of picture hat, being ap-
parently simply arranged in loose, big
waves, but in reality the work of
most artistic coiffeur.
A good many leading Parisians have
been wearing the softest black frocxs,
very often relieved by a touch of rose.
Rose is much in evidence just now,
from the palest to the deepest shades.
Girls are wearing quantity of pale
rose muslin, while married women are
affecting magnificent gowns Of taffeta
and satin messaline. A soft embroider-
ed moussellne de sole gown in black
was worn with beautiful shaped and
pointed band OF rose color. with revers
OF pink embroidered velvet, and a pic
ture hat Of shaded rose chip, thu brim
of which was lined with pink velvet
and draped with black chintilly, the
crown being trimmed with deeper rose
colored plumes. This was worn at

led by bouquet Of La France roses.

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 25.-(Special)-
That Rheumatism can be cured has been
proved beyond doubt by Mrs. Betsey
A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs.
Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad
all her acquaintance know. They also
know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
OF her cure as follows:
II was an invalid for most five years
caused by Intlammatory rheumatism,
helpless two.thirds of the time. The first
year could not do as much as a baby
could do; then rallied little bit and
then n relapse. Then year ago the govt
set in my hands and feet. I suffered un.
told agony and in August, 1893. when my
husband died / could not ride to the
grave.
Il only took two boxes of Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills and in two weeks l could wait
on myself and saw my own wood. / dug
my own potatoes and gathered my OWL
garden last fall. Dodds Kidney Pills
cured me-"
rheumatism is caused by uric acid in
the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the
Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid
out of the blood.

Religious to the point of fanaticism,
Count Tolstoy is not in the least what
the present day calls orthodox; and
without ceasing denounces the supersti-
lions and dogmas that characterize the
Russian Orthodox church, the Greek
Catholic. He declares the church false
to the principles of Christ, and thus
holds ii up to derision: orthodox re-
ligion brings to my mind only lot OF
long-haired men, who are very arrog-
ant, without instruction. clothed in silk
and velvet, decorated with ornaments
and jewels, whom or calls archbishops,
and metropolitans, and thousands Of
other men, with hair uncombed, who
find themselves under the most servile
domination by a few individuals, who,
under color of dispensing the sacrament,
cheat and rob the people. How can have
faith in this church and believe. II to a
man who asks from the bottom of his
soul 1t replies only by the most miser-
able receptions, by insanities. and af-
firms that no one has the right to make
any other reply to these Questions?"
Repeatedly in the last few years has
Count Tolstoy given open expression OF
his judgment Of the ruler of the Great
Russian empire. He holds him we'll
meaning but misinformed; speaks of
him as this unfortunate, entangled
young man, recognized as the leader Of
130,0O0,0OO Of people, continually de-
ceived and compelled to contradict him
self" The story goes that the car, op
his way to The Hague conference, sent
most carefully-worded invitation to
Tolstoy to meet him at one Of the sta
tons, and when the latter appeared,
clad in the peasant earb, he was received
with as much honor as would have been
brother king. Nicholas asked Tolstoy
what the latter thought of the coming
conference; to which, so the story goes.
Tolstoy made characteristic reply that
he could not believe in the cars project
until the car should set a practical ex-
ample to other nations.
