ON TO ITS DEATH.

Senator Eayselden reported on Bill
104, a bill that has met with consider
able opposition from the Senators and
it is doomed to die. The report reads:
FYour committee believe that the OBJ
jects of the bill as defined in this act
are good and that it provides for open
ing up and cultivating land which
would otherwise lie idle but which by
the terms of this bill would be en-
abled to use water furnished by cor
porations organized for that purpose.
eve find, however, considerable OPP
position to the bill and as the time is
so short we believe it the duty of this
committee to return the bill herewith
to the Senate to be taken up in com
mittee of the whole before the Senate,
for their action thereon.'
Before the session opened there was
a confab among two or three of the
Senate committee and Manager Fair
child and J. P. Cooke. 1t appears that
this is strictly Kauaian and is for the
benefit of the Kealia Plantation Co.,
hence Manager Fairchild's presence in
the Capitol on numerous occasions late
Iy. The opposition to the bill comes
from residents of the other islands,
among them Abraham Louisson who
met the committee the other night.
When the bill was called for consid-
Grafton later in the day it was de-
ferred until Thursday.

Pheasant Matching In illinois.

1t is learned from reports made to
the state game commissioner by Hi
nois farmers who this spring received
consignments of pheasants that these
eggs showed So percentage Of hatch,
says the Forest and Stream. The
great trouble found in distributing the
eggs was rough handling by the ex-
press companies. The majority of
farmers reporting matches state that
the birds are doing we'll and are now
more than half grown. If some means
can be devised whereby the express
companies will give greater care and
attention to the eggs, this method of
restocking the state Of Illinois will be
a success. Next season it is proposed
to have the deputies from the various
counties of Illinois call at the Office of
the game department in Springfield
and take the eggs home with them and
distribute them from their own Offices.

Not only does the wrapper of every
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, have printed upon it, IN plain
English, full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, of
all the different schools of practice,
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings of leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing IN the strongest
possible terms, each and every ingredi-
ent contained in DIR. Pierce's medi-
cines. One of these little books will be
mailed free to any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DR.. R.V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, "run-down," nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
vSquaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the
uses of not few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
AS made up by improved and exact
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the vFa-
vorite Prescription" is a most efficient
remedy for regulating all the womanly
functions, correcting displacements, as
prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up
the nerves and bringing about a per-
feet state of health
The eGact proportion of the several in
gradients used in these medicines, as
well as the working formula and pecul-
lar processes, apparatus and appliances
employed in their manufacture, are
withheld from publicity that DR.. Pierce's
proprietary rights may not be infringed

Miss Hawman Was Kind, and Stage
Hands Remembered 1t; That's All.
Good deeds are sometimes remem-
bered, even in New York, as was dem
onstrated the other afternoon on the
stage of the Herald Square theater,
when makeup" box was given by
the stage hands to Miss Elizabeth
Hawman. a young Englishwoman, who
appears in the pony ballet in The
Girl Behind the Counter" The gift
was accompanied by resolutions. en-
grayed and framed, which recorded
the good deeds that inspired it, says
the New York Tribune
Dave Lewis, stage carpenter, was
stricken with apoplexy while pursuing
his vocation a few days ago. Miss
HaWman was about to go on the stage
with the ballet when she saw him fall
She hurried to his side and tried in
vain to revive him. Hearing that he
hurried to his home and consoled her
until the remains of her husband were
laid away She could do no more It
is written somewhere that it is a good
thing to console the afflicted, but Miss
Hawman made no pretense of recalling
such writing either before or after the
performance of this recorded deed. nor
had she looked for reward here or
elsewhere.
"Why should be remembered for
this ?" she remarked, half complaining
". "Any person would have done as
much"
But the companions of the dead man
thought otherwise; hence the gift and
the resolutions. By virtue of these
resolutions Miss Hawman is for all
practical purposes an honorary mem
Der of the stage employees union.
Wherever she may be, they say, she
will find in that organization friend.
And if she is in need the members will
care for her, having in mind the kind
ness to their brother. 1t may be added
that Lew Fields show is all the mer-
rier because of tnis incident in the
history Of the pony ballet.

PINEAPPLES.
A Time When They Sold For $40 Each
In San Francisco.

A Time When They Sold For $40 Each
In San Francisco.
In 1851 pineapples were rare in San
Francisco. One day in that year one
of the passengers who had crossed the
isthmus Of narien before leaving Pan
anna purchased from one of the ma
tives of that place dozen pineapples
for quarter of a dollar, and when he
landed in San Francisco he had six
left. He was carrying these from the
landing place at the foot of Vallejo
street, where there were boat steps at
the end of a twenty foot wharf. which
new arrivals approached by Whitehall
boats from the steamers that in those
days anchored in the stream 300 yards
from shore. The man was accosted
suddenly by a stranger who asked
him what he wanted "for that lot Of
pineapples."
"They are not for sale"
"But I want them.'' said the Cali
fornian.
''I'll sell you three" said the new ar
rival. who on the voyage had heard
that San Francisco people were liberal
buyers, and he added. "but they'll cost
you S. each
"Take 'em." was the curt reply. and
the fruit changed owners. the resident
passing over a Spanish coin known
then as gold ounce" worth SIG in
trade.
Before the new purchaser had nov
ed across Battery street, where the
transaction had taken place. he was
accosted by an acquaintance. who ask
ed him to let him have the fruit. A
dicker followed for two of them. the
acquaintance paying $40 apiece for
them. Later in the day the first pur-
chaser was boasting of the rapid man
ner by which be had cleared S. and
still had a fine pineapple for supper
