The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-09-23

We have just entered into club
hing arrangement with the Nashville
Banner. We can now offer that ex-
cellent daily with The Commercial at
the exceedingly low price of $3.50 per
year for the two. This is 81 so less
than the regular price of the Banner
alone, and does not cover the cost of
the white paper used in the two pub
locations. 1t is not often that the
public has the opportunity Of securing
high-class paper like the Banner at
such an exceedingly low price. This
offer is only made during the cam
paign, and should be taken advantage
OF at once. Everybody wants the
freshest and most reliable news re-
garding the Presidential election and
the RussO-Japanese war.
The Banner is the best paper in
Tennessee. 1t is published in the
capital city, and prints all the news.
1t has the full service of the Associate
ed Press, besides a Special Cable Sery-
ice to all parts of the globe, enabling
it to promptly give its readers the
fullest and most reliable reports of
every happening of Importance, no
matter where 1t may occur.
1t has an able editorial and reporto-
rial staff; splendid corps Of special
correspondents and writeTs--in short,
its facilities for securing and publish
ing all of the news all of the time are
unexcelled by any other paper in the
South.

In the last hundred years the
period Of the comet has been di

There are indications that the
acceleration is falling off in amount
and this strengthens the SUPPOSE
ton that the cause is a meteoric

sistance.
The meteors may be gradually
getting out of the comets track, so
that eventually it will obtain free

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-03-29

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17-Sam
Luka, the Kanaka boat steerer of the
steam whaler Beluga, yesterday tender
ed to himself one of the most harmont-
Gus farewell demonstrations ever ac-
corded to a departing whaleman. Sam
has steered one of the boats in which
his brother hunters chase the whale for
many a year. He likes his work, but
hates the idea of leaving home without
some kind of a sendoff. In his native
Hawaii his mud-colored friends would
have gathered at the pierhead with a
band of music and decorated their de-
parting brother with many-colored leis.
1t was sendoff like this that Sam
wanted, and he had his wish.
The Beluga pulled into the stream
yesterday and just before she left
Green-street wharf Sam carried aboard
his forecastle gods and took pos
session of his quarters for the cruise.
Before going on board he spent several
hours uptown buying his outfit for the
voyage. Before starting on his shop
ping cruise he hired a brass band tc
accompany him. From outfitter to out.

FORTIFICA7IONS FOR HAWAII.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The SEN
ate today resumed consideration Of the
fortifcations appropriation bill, the
pending question being the committee
amendment appropriating $25O,OOO for
the purchase of a submarine torpedo
boat for experimental purposes.
In response to a request from Sena-
tor Lodge, Senator Perkins explained
the reasons which actuated the COM
mittee in striking out the House pro-
vision of the bill approprating $780,
900 for the purchase of sites for de-
fenses in the Hawaiian Islands, saying
the committees action was due to the
fact that the Government had no op-
ton on the land for this purpose and
that therefore it might have the effect
of placing the Government at the mercy
of real estate owners. He also said the
amount named was not sufficient.
