Cannot Afford to Kill.

As one of the leading Chinese DIPLOMATS
remarked when the subject of the Amer
lean boycott was up for discussion a few
weeks ago and it was suggested that
another Boxer rebellion and the killing
of more missionaries might be expected
to follow:
That viii not be if the Chinese govern
ment can prevent it. 1t costs us a port
like Kiaochou for the killing of a mission
airy or two You can understand that we
cannot afford to kill very many of them
since there are more missionaries than we
have ports
The Chinese diplomat appeared to make
this statement is sober. serious earn
estness. To an American or a EuropeA N
1t may sound like attempt at a Joke
but even in China there is such a thing
as paying too dearly for ones whistle.
especially if that whistle or hobby be a
habit of killing missionaries.
If the Europeans and Americans VIII only
understand that here in China even the gov
ernments are not stronger than the people
themselves when the people are once reused
to action they will go a long ways toward
getting at the true reasons why the gov
eminent does not dare to exercise a strong
hand in the suppression of rebellions like
those inaugurated by the Boxers-why the
boycott is not stopped at the point of lis
inception. For, while the dowager empress
may be afraid of Boxer rebellions (this Is
not to say that she loves the foreigner
more, but that she fears him more and
loves her own peace of mind), she is still
powerless to prevent these outrages or out
breaks. Government here in China, like
government in the United States. is a series
Of compromises with the people, and the
dowager empress could no more prevent the
Boxer rebellion than President Mckinley
could have stopped the American people
from going to war with Spain over Cuba.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have-a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by .Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

Why He fingered.

A man was accused of having
stolen a pair of trousers. There
were several witnesses, but the evi-
dence was rather meager, and SO the
accused was acquitted. He was told
that he could go, but he remained.
His lawyer, to whose successful de-
Tense he mainly owed his liberty,
limited to him again that he was free
to2depart, but still he stayed.
There being no more cases to be
heard, the court was getting empty,
when the lawyer, growing impatient,
asked, with some asperity, why he
didn't go. The injured, innocent
man whispered in his ear, 'aThe fact
is, sir, I did not like to move till the
witnesses had left the court"
"Why so?"
Because, sir, 1 have got ON the
trousers that I stole"

SUNDAY SCHEDULE.
THE SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT.

Prof. Novy of the University of
Michigan is said to have discovered
the cause of the sleeping sickness,
the mysterious West African
disease that has long baffled the
investigators. The dispatches from
Ann Arbor add: Prof. Koch, the
great German bacteriologist, spent
two years in an unsuccessful at
tempt to find out what Prof. Novy
has discovered in three months.
1t would have been more accurate
to say that Prof. Navy was able to
make this discovery i'll three
months because Prof. Koch had
spent two. years in Unsuccessful
research.
A great scientific discovery is
rarely due to one mans ability or
Asieace or genius. 1t represents
the work of many, and the man
whose name is finally identified
with the achieveu ent may have
made the least valuable contribu-
tions to the discovery. He is likely
TO have succeeded only because his
predecessors did their work so
well. There is an eminent scientist
in the United States who has spent
wears IN an effort to determine the
nature of disease that has inflicted
untold damage upon peach or
chards. He has been unsuccessful,
but the reports of his Investigations
embody all that is known in refer
ence to the subject. When he
was asked if he regarded as wasted
the years that he had spent in his
investigation, he replied: Quite
the contrary, The work that l
have done has been done for all
time. But some day man will
come along with the right kink in
his brain, and as a result of my
labor, he will discover what I have
uissed. He may get the credit,

FROM accounts that reach us
from the north winter is coming
this way. At a baseball game in
Chicago this week the teams play
ed in the snow while many people
stayed away from the game fear
ing the cold. On that same day,
in these same United States, we
were playing in our flower gardens
with never a dream of winter. We
have to use almanacs here to tell
when it's winter.

WE HAVE frequently heard the
expression Let the Constitution
follow the flag" but we have al
ways heretofore thought of it in
an idle, desultory way as being
only applicable to the Philippine
question when applied under Re-
publican principles. Now it occurs
to us that it might come closer
home and mean something to us
living along the lower Rio Grande.
So, if Our administration practices
its usual consistency, we may pre-
pare to see shortly the constitution
promulgated by our fathers going
back to Fl. Sam Houston.

but my investigations will have
made it possible
That is the true scientific spirit.
No careful, honest, intelligent
work in scientific research is ever
lost. One man takes up the bur-
den where another has been oblig-
ed to lay it down and in that way
the destination is finally reached.
But all the glory of the relay race
does not belong to the man that
runs the last lap.

Parrot swallows a Roll of Bills.

Chicago. -There is no reward
for Pete large Mexican parrot.
which escaped from the saloon of
Mike Mallich, No. 1884 The
Strand, recently. but if the man
who catches him has sense enough
to cut his throat he will be $50
to the good.
When Pete left the place without
stopping to say good-by he was
$50 in and Mallich was that
amount out.
Ford several months the bird
had been the star attraction around
the place by reason of its large
vocabulary. which. by the way,
was not acquired at Kensington
nor in a theological seminary.
While the boss was cashing pay
checks for the employees of the
Illinois Steel Company Pete sat on
his perch watching the proceed
ings. When Mallich turned away
for moment Pete swooped down
on the cash box and picked up
currency of the realm to the extent
of $3.50.
I'll have the hen with the
golden egg BEATEN unused the
bird, as it swallowed its costly
morsel.
Drop, that money" shouted
Mallich, at the same time shying
bottle at Pete, but the bird flew
out of the door, took a position on
a telegraph pole and finished swal-
lowing the green goods. Then
the bird disappeared,

He Was 1t.

It was Oliver Wendell Holmes,
was it not, who was asked after he
had made a trip across the ocean if
he had done any literary work while
on board the ship and answered that
he chad been a frequent contributor
to the Atlantic ?"
Somewhat similar is an anecdote
related of a New York merchant
whose business had required him to
make several journeys to San Fran
cisco and back during the year.
While on one of these long trips,
after he had exhausted the stock
of reading matter he had brought
with him, he was showing a fellow
passenger a bundle of the popular
magazines that formed a part of
the supply.
'FYou don't seem to have the
Overland Monthly here" remarked
the passenger.

er. 'T'm the overland monthly my

Japanese had started four brush fires
but luckily none of them had got be-

AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
A. r. Gurrey of the Waialae, Kali
muki and Palolo Improvement Club,
suggested in a letter the organization
of central or executive committee for
mittee, he suggested, could have
monthly meetings and act In special
matters for all the clubs, where united
action was necessary.
The matter was taken up by the
committee. and on the motion of Mr..
Spalding, d meeting of all chairmen of
Improvement clubs of Honolulu and vi
entity is called for Friday evening at
rooms, Young Block, to perfect such
an organization.
Mr.. Spalding expressed the hope that
all the chairmen would respond, as
carry out the idea.
HOTEL MANAGERS PRESENT.
The triumvirate controlling the man.
agement of the big hotels of the city.
Messrs. Hertsche of the Moana, Noah
w. Gray of the Alexander Young, and
H Bews of the Royal Hawaiian, was
in attendance. Mr.. Gartley explained
that they had been requested to be
present at the meeting, as the Promo
ton Committee and Floral Parade
Committee wished each hotel to be
represented in the parade, either in
autos or other classes of vehicles 1t
was suggested that tally-hoes would be
the best adapted for the purpose, as
guests of each of the hotels could thus
participate in the parade
Each of the managers expressed a
favorable opinion and all will give
their answers today. OF course, such
vehicles will carry only ladies' the men
being barred for fear their presence
would not add to the beauty of the
display.
F. X. Howard, in letter, stated
that he regretted his automobile would
rot be available on the day of the
parade. However, he sent a check to
the committee to help defray the eX-
penses of the day.
THE PARADE IN GENERAL.
The committee discussed the parade
in detail Much consideration was
given to the proposed wind-up of the
days festivities at the Hawaiian Ho-
tel. which has been offered the COM
mittee by Manager Bews, It was de-
cided that it would be best not to
have formal reception there, as sug-
gested, but that everything be in
formal. The judges ana winners, of
course, may be expected TO group
themselves somewhere about the hotel
premises where they may receive the
Fluctuations of their friends and the
remaining participants The ball at
the Hawaiian is not a public affair,
and will be confined to the judges,
those who participa ted in the parsiur
and some invited town guests, includ-
ing, of course, guests Of the hotels.
The Oregon girls, sent down here
by a Portland newspaper, and who
Will arrive on February q on the So
noma, will have a place in the parade
and will be chaperoned by Mr.. w. A.
Wann, formerly a resident Of Port
land.
The committee suggested that the
forenoon would be the best time to
have the parade.
