a little money in it and we got enough
money right there to pay all their fares.

Washington cOrresp ondent yesterday
whose paper, like every paper in the
United States, had printed 20 GOO words
at least Of the horror on the Pacific
slope After recovering from his amaze
ment, the correspondent looked at the
date Of the dispatch and found that it
had been sent last Thursday night from
Honolulu, in the Hawaiian islands
There is cable from San Francisco
to Honolulu. but it was apparentlv dis
rupted by the earthquake and nothing
was known in Honolulu OF the San
Francisco earthquake until Thursday
morning, the news being doubtless re-
ce1Ved from Manila. The business in
terests in Honolulu are almost exclus-
lively in the hands of San Francisco
men and san Francisco capital is most
heavily invested in the Hawaiian is
lands. The cable message from Homo
lulu was answered by the correspond
ent in 20 words. It was filed at noon,
and it was probably about daybreak
when it reached the Honolulu newspa-
per Office, owing to the difference in
time. The cable message left Washing
ton over the Postal lines to New York
and thence to London. From London
1t went over the British lines to Lis
bon. and then over the eastern exten-
sion to Alden. thence to Bombay, thence
to Madras. thence to Singapore. thence
to Hong Kong, thence to Manila, and
finally by way of Guam it reached Hon
olulu.

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are Of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow We do
not believe there is a laxative on the

The Zulu war cry, used whenever
they take the field by the South Afri-

says Notes and Queries. The Daily
Express gives it as "Igamilzho," and
the Daily Mail as "Gammillo." The
cry really consists of two words, and
should be written "Igama layo.'
Igama" is Zulu for name" and
"layo" is possessive pronoun, mean
ing either his" or their" Thus the
Daily Mail, although quite wrong in
its photography OF the cry, is right in
saying that it merely means That Is
