speeches bearing upon the relations be-
tween the General Government and the
Territory, which seemed TO be well re-
ceived by the islanders, with the posi-
bic exception Of the japanese.
He said frankly to a delegation OF jap
enese editors who had waited upon him
70 inquire whether he thought a pre-
Ponderance Of japanese IN Hawaii was
1nimical TO the welfare Of the islands:
AN ideal condition for the future
welfare of these islands would be that
there should not be too great a pre-
ponderance OF any one race. but that an
equilibrium be maintained. 7 would I'm
press upon you, and upon each OF the
several races here. to have a care TO not
exploit the Islands for the beneflt Of any
one country but TO act in the spirit Of
the Government under which they live.

Der Of Americans come from the main
land and settle here, II for no other
reason than to guarantee for all time

While there. the Secretary heard
number OF grievances against the Cen
eral Government. One complaint was
that the special present shipping laws
are unjust to the islands. inasmuch as
they penalize traffic between the main
land and the islands unless conveyed. In
American bottoms. The Secretary
promised to take up this matter, and to
do everything in his power TO assist the
islanders In getting the shipping facill-
ties they need.
The Secretary was much impressed
with Pearl harbOr as a possible naval

DIED SUDDENLY
 OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does "a head line .slmi- lar to the above greet us in the news papers. The rush, push and strenuous ness of the American people has strong tendency to lead up to valvular and other affections of the heart, attended by ir- regular action, palpitation, dizziness, smothered sensations and other distress- ing symptoms.
 Three of the prominent ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is made are recommended by some of the leading writers on Mdterid Meitcd for the cure of just such eases. Golden Seal root, for instance, is said by the UNITED STATES DIsPENsAroRY, a stand ard authority, "to impert tone and in- creased power to the hearts action. " Numerous other leading authorities rep resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed tonic for the muscular system in general, and as the heart is almost wholly com posed of muscular tissue, it naturally follows that 1t must be greatly strength ened by this superb, general tonic. But probably the most important ingredient of VGolden Medical Discovery so far as its marvellous cures of valvular and other affections of the heart are con- cerned, is Stone root, or CotLttsontG CdTa., Prof. Wm. Paine, author of Patne's Epitomy of Medicine, says ot It:

and nursed him back to life. He was now ready to let him marry whom he would and sent for Vatican and Cos cite. At the marriage Vatican pre- sented Cosette with his fortune. re- serving to himself barely enough on which to live frugaiiy.
 After the marriagehe told Martus that he was not Cosette's grandfath- or. but only an escaped convict who had befrfended her and taken care of fortune belonging to her. For some time yaljean visited Cosetto every day, but refused to share her home. Then Marius. who had begun practising law, was employed by the bank in which Valjean had once kept his money and heard the banks story of the convict. It was that one Yal- jean had forged the name of the May or of M. sur M, Father Madeleine. and drawn out his money.
 This then, thought Marius, is the fortune he gave Cosette. He tried to break off the connection between Cos cite and her benefactor and succeeded. saving money meantime to make up the maount he had already spent of Cosette's fortune and pay the whole back to vaijean. One day Thanardeir. bent upon blackmaii, came to- see Mar ius andtold him the true story of val- jeans life. which he had ferreted out and of which he had proofs He was unaware that Marius even knew that the old man had been q convict. He also told of the manner in which Vai- jean had saved the life of Marius on the day of the riot--something which MArius did not know before.
 He thought that this knowledge would still further disincline Martus to have the putative grandfather of his wife exposed and make the black mail easier. Marius was, filled with sorrow at the injustice with which he had treated the old man. Still under the delusion that Thenard Anrn had once saved his fathers life. hWB&ve him money and sent him away.

They found him on his death bed. But hs died happy with those two. by his side: his life had been lived. his work done. And his work. which at the be- glning had promised to be a work of evil. had been q work of great good to all with whom he had been brought in contact and through them, its good- ness was difused to others.

 It was useless to reason with the man, and with a Well. well, We wJll see" Father Madeline sent him back to the police office.
 Long into the night the Mayor sat there, the sould of Jeanvaljean and the soul of Father Madeleine struggling. together within him. The soul of Fath- CT Madeleine conquered.
 1t was long journey to Arras. but by putting forth great exertion and q liberal use of money Father Madeleine reached the place just as the trial of the supposed convict had been con- cluded.
 The police had woven an ingenious web of theory, around the man and he was condemned to the galleys.

 The nest discovered with such joy by Marius was a modest mansion in the Rue Plumet, and adjoining it was n neglected garden where weeds and flowers ran riot, nothing impeded the sacred effort of things toward life and growth at home and held high holiday.
 Into this garden Marius obtained en- trance and there he met Cosette. who, startled at first, soon learned to ac- cept the young man as her fate. and in this charming wilderness the two lovers held many clandestine but in- nocent meetings.
 One night Cosette informed her low CT that she could see him not more: her grandfather had ordered her to prepare for a journey to England. The young man. for the first time in years, sought his grandfather. that stern royallst, M Gillenormand. and re- quested permission to marry. Not having yet arrived at the age of twenty-f five, he could not leagally take
