contiguous territories to the United States
amounted to $e7. 666 600 against $3.50. D
in the preceding year. this fall occurring
almost exclusively In the shipmen, from the

merchandise sent last year from these
islands to the United States The quantity
of raw sugar sent from Hawaii to the
United States was 7120o0,OOO pounds

Details of Dress That Are Insisted
Upon by English Masters.
From Baily's Magazine.

From AasaNi"e.
At many schools uniformity Of dress Is
insisted upon. 1t is surprising how much
the casual visitor is impressed by triflins
details OF dress, and il boys were given
much latitude in this respect the impress
sion would not always be q good one. Black
coats and waistcoats with black ties al
ways look tidy and respectable, and are
frequently the rule. At Harrow boys over
a certain height are allowed to wear tails,
which, however, do not look well with
straw hats. The Harrow straws are IA
miliar to most people. having crown or
hardly an inch in height; these are worn
all the year round, custom which prevails
also at Winchester. At Eton top hats are
the usual headgear. and one Is sometimes
treated to the spectacle of a boy clad in
football things surmounted by a top hat
At some schools one is struck by the enor-
nous variety of caps worn by the different
boys. every house having its own colors
for the different school games. When
clothes are changed for football cricket
this Is reasonable enough, but under ordi-
nary circumstances the neatest uniform Is
some dark suit with black ties, the menu
bers of the various school teams being pos
sibly allowed to wear their colors a
mark of distinction. At many schools the
boys are compelled to wear cap and gown,
the projects in some cases having the dis
tinction of tassels to their mortarboards.
At Bradfeld and Radley the boys wear
gowns, and at Winchester all the col
legers" were compelled to do so, bur q
mortarboard Is very heavy to the head.
while a gown Is rather a hindrance to
boy, though IL may help to Keep ILLS
clothes clean.
1t is customary for projects or monitors
to carry walking sticks as a mark OF dis
tinction. and In the old days at Winchester

They Do q Little Scheming.
From the Chanute Kan) Tribune.
This has been a great season for the max

Fashion has decreed that these are the
proper thing for all members Of the gentler
sex. and what Dame Fashion says always

plain, some of them ornate with filigree
work, or whatever 1t Is that has the peek
a-boo places In 1t.
The demand for accessories Of this sort
has been so widespread and spontaneous
that the manufacturers OF such goods have
kept their establishments running night and
day to supply the demand, and are still
away behind with their orders. Dealers
complain because they can't get mitts. ana
the makers say the dealers don't give them
time to keep up, no matter how hard they
try.
this has worked any hardship on the fair
sex in Chanute. Not in the least. The Cha
mute girl has had her elbow nitts-has them
now-wears them every day. She makes

Caterpillar Fever.

FROM me LONDON Mall,
Zeal for nature study. not tempered by
experience, explains why SO many country
doctors have been called In to diagnose an
epidemic of rash which has affected whole
classes IN some rural and urban schools.
The symptoms of the ailment, well known
to doctors as caterpillar rash." are intense
irritation on the palms. and sometimes on
the face, accompanied by number Of
blister-iike swellings. which. when they oc-
cur round the eyes. sometimes have the Of
feet of obstructfng vision.
The preventive is for the nature class to
leave hairy caterpillars alone. As the
palmer worm" the hairy caterpillar of the
gold-tail moth. one Of the commonest and
most beautiful objects of the country at
midsummer. passes from hand to hand. 1t
leaves on every palm few of its loosely
attached hairs. and these hairs are pos
sessed. for the protection of the caterpillar
against birds and browsing animals of
what scientists call ''urticating properties.
"Urtica" il the Latin for "nettle."
Many other hairy caterpillars are almost
as bad az the palmer worm" and as
general rule. the less you handle any hairy
caterpillar the better.

thing will grow. One Of them remarked
last night that quail were plentiful in this
section OF the country until the game laws
and the trespass laws were passed, when
they began to grow scarce and have grown
scarcer each succeeding year. Even when
quail are imported for breeding purposes
the same thing Is true.
Then the scarcity of this bird-or rather
the supposed scarcity-is partly accounted
for by the fact that farmers have become
accustomed to prohibit hunters from tres
passing, ndadnding that the trespass laws
are not always Observed and that they are
subject to considerable annoyance. not to
say damages by sportsmen. the farmers
have determined to kill all quail as the
source of trespass In the fall

 Wunder Is Acquitted.

Defendant has been in the railway mail service for eighteen years aud up to the time Of his arrest he stood high with the department. There was q very bitter fight for the Rogers postot1ceship between Post master Cady, present incumbent, and C. W. Roberts, of Gravette. Com plaint had been made of registered letters having been ritled. and the poStoffcer inspector sent d decoy which proved to have been tempered with. Wunder was arrested. The prosecution claimed that Wunder, having espoused the cause Of Roberts had opened letter in search of politi- cal information, while the defense maintained that the letter was open ed by some adherent of Cady for the purpose of revenge. Wunder disclaim- ed any wrongdoing, and admitted that he had stamped the letter, and that to his knowledge no one had handled it but himself during ts transit The jury was out but ten minutes.

Just now the line men are working on the big cable that Is to carry large num- Der of the Walnut street wires. It contains one hundred wires and will greatly relieve the e0ngeS- tion of wires on that street. The cable is suspended from a heavy steel wire.

Wallace Fucker Pardoned.

Gov. Davis yesterday granted q pardon 10 Wallace Rueker, Of Hiwassee, Benton County, who was convicted and sentenced To five years in the penitentiary al the spring term 1905, of the Washington County Circuit Court on charge of betraylng Docia Davis, a school teacher Of Benton county. The petition for pardon contains about $500 names. Gov. Davis has been go- ing over the case for several days and yesterday decided to grant the petition. The pardon was issued yesterday afternoon, and Rucker, who has been confined in the penitentiary, was released at once.
 The case is we'll known over the state and has been the talk of the northwestern part of the state for about q year. Immedi- ately after conviction Rueker ap- pealed to the Supreme Court, but that tribunal sustained the yer dict of the lower court and Ruck- CT at once made application for pardon. Gov. Davis was in Washington county at the same time the case was affirmed by the Supreme Court and brought Rucker 10 this city, placing him in the penitentiary.
 The granting of the pardon re- calls the fact that Gov. Davis was besieged by number of young women during an address at Pea Ridge December I, 1905, asking that he refuse a pardon to Ruck- CT. He promised them that he would not grant the pardon with out making a complete investi- gation. The pardon was issued yes terday because of the length of the petition and the letter sent by Dr. Charles H. Cargile, a physician who testified in the case. Dr. Cargile states that 1t is possible he may have made a mistake in his testimony.
 In explaining the action taken in this case Gov. Davis yesterday said:
 T have examined with much care the very voluminous petition presented in this case, asking the pardon of the defendant, Wallace Fucker. who was at the May term 1908, of the Washington Circuit Court. on change of venue, convicted and his punishment fixed at term of five years in the state penitenttary.
