Joyce shivered at the suggestion
For years she had lived indread of
the stern old man who since his wife's
death had looked ON life with hatred.
When Joyce had come, her gentle
mother had slowly faded away. and
Hiram Warning, blaming the innocent
child for the death of the woman he
loved SO passionately. had never
shown her the affection that was her
heritage. -
AS a child her innocent transgres.
siens were punished with an unjust Sc.

asked her father for her hand he had
been driven from the house for nc
other apparent reason than Mr.. War
ing's hatred of Joyce. The father
would not give his consent to a mar
rage because it would make her hap
py. and thereafter he watched bel
more closely than ever.
But Dick Torrington was not of the
sort to take his unjust dismissal with
out an effort to win the woman be
loved. and the elopement was the re
suit.

Editor Advertiser: Following up

distribution of money to certain In
stitutions. I am sure you did not in.
tend to leave the institutions under my
care out in the cold, but you did. The
claims of those omitted | am sure you
recognize, and that the failure to men
ton them was through inadvertence
VIII you allow me therefore to add
to the list of proposed recipients. st.
Andrew s Priory has for over forty
years done an excellent work for the
girls of the Islands and is continuing
the same under improved conditions. 10,
lani School for a long period has done
its share of the work for boys and is
today better prepared than ever to en-
large it. St. Elizabeth s House, PaIa-
ma, whose work speaks for itself to All
who know anything about it, as 1t
reaches in uplifting power, men, wo-
men and children, in its neighborhood.
These institutions would all be glad
to have share in any distribution or
money such as is proposed by you. By
the way l have not yet on hand ait
the money needed for the new build
ings for st. Andrew s Priory and L

A WONDERFUL DISCOV-
ERY


This is the age OF research and experiment,
when all nature, so to speak, is ransacked by
the scientific for tue comfort and happiness of
man. Science has indeed made giant strides
during the past century and among the-by
no means least ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in medi-
cine comes that of THERAPION.
This preparation is unquestionably one of
the most genuine and reliable Patent Medi-
cines ever introduced, and has, we understand,
been used in the Continental Hospitals by
Ricord. ROstan, Jobert, Nelpeau, Maisonneuve,
who are regarded authorities in such mat
ters including the celebrated Lallemand, and
RouX, by whom 1t some time since uni
formly adopted, and that it is worthy the at
tentIon of those who require such a remedy we
think there is no doubt. From the time of
Aristotle downwaTds, a potent agent in the re-
moval Of these diseases has like the famed
philosophers stone) been the object of search
Of some hopeful generous minds; and far be-
been diseovered-of transmitting the baser
metals into gold is surely the discovery of a
remedy potent to replenish the failing
energies in the case, and in the other so

the system the poisons Of acquired or inherited
disease in all their protean forms to leave
faint or trace behind. Such is the New

many of the discoveries of day, about
which no little ostentation and noise have been

demand that has been created for this medi-

BODIES i'll for the liquor traffic in the
Territory.
Hawaii was settled and civilized by
New England missionaries, and al
though the missionary element has al
ways been dominant. in public affairs,
it was never able to permanently exile
King Alcohol. There were periods
during the existence of the monarchy
when liquor was under the ban through
royal edict, but the fact that the Is
lands have for half a century been IN
the path of a great maritime traffic,
bringing into her ports heterogeneous
lot of wanderers, made it difficult to
enforce the liquor laws.
Other native monarchs were more in
lluSuCCu DF tHtlA own dpp6GIICS, anu
less by the missionaries, and during
their reigns there would be little if any
restriction imposed on the importation
and sale of alcoholic liquor. Since the
of the Islands to the Unit
ed States in 1898, the usual Federal
revenue regulations have been in force
and there has been a number of local
regulations more or less effective.
Like most primitive peoples, the Ha
waiian has suffered much from the IT.
diligence of liquors. His powers of re-
sistance appear to be less than that
IF the white races and alcohol has
doubtless played its full part in reduc-
ng the native population, estimated at
east 100000 when the Islands were
visited by Captain Cook, to less than
10000 full-blooded Hawaiians today.
A year ago a strong fight was made
n the Territorial Legislature for a
ocal option liquor law, but while this

was defeated a very efficient measnl e
was enacted, replacing a very lax law
up to that time in force. Under the
present statute the licensing of saloons
| is put absolutely into the hands of a
board of license commissioners for each
county corresponding to the four prin-
cipal islands in the group, each board
consisting of five members and appoint
ed by the Governor of the Territory.
These boards act upon all applications
for both wholesale and retail licenses,
and have absolute discretionary power
in every case, from which there is no
appeal. Licenses are renewed semi
annually, and each board has salaried
inspector whose duties require him to
keep a careful watch upon the conduct
of every hcensee. At the present time
in Oahu, there are forty-two retail
liquor licenses and eighteen wholesale
licenses, against seventy-one retail and
twenty-five wholesale under the old
law. very large number of appli-
cants for licenses have been refused
and the present licensed places are run
in most orderly manner.
There is a good deal of illicit selling
among the large Oriental population,
and also among the Portuguese, and
it is very difficult to locate and elm
mate these blind pigs despite vigor
GUS prosecution whenever one is raid
ed. Then the heavy jungle growth in
the mountains offers exceptional facili-
ties for moonshining, or illicit dis
tilling, and there has been considerable
manufacture of spirits from various
roots and fruits which has escaped the
attention of the revenue officers.
But despite good laws, the liquor
question is a very live issue still. It
continues to be the subject of frequent
newspaper discussions and there is
every reason to believe that the anti
saloon people aim at still more drastic
legislation when the Legislature meets
next winter. There has also been some
pressure brought to bear on Congress
for national prohibition law to apply |
to the Territories, but as yet with but
little prospect for success.

UNDER CIVIL SERVICE.

Provision will be made for $50 dis
trict supervisors and there will be sew
eral thousand in the clerical force in
the Census Bureau establishment in
Washington. The number of enumera-
tors will be $4,000. AS already men
toned, the total force needed to do the
work will approximate 10000
The clerical force will be under civil
service, but it is thought to be imprac-
ticable to make the enormous force of
enumerators subject to the civil service
requirements. Mr. North considers it
out of the question to try to select the
enumerators by civil service methods,
though objections have been raised by
friends of the civil service to the prop
osition that it's workings should not be
extended to census enumerators.
1t is apparent that those politicians
who are hostile to the civil service see
excellent opportunities in the selection
of a vast body of enumerators in the
old-fashioned way, through political pre-
ferment, but there is unquestionably
room for doubt whether workable civil
service scheme could be devised to meet
the situation.-Ba Sun.

hot weather, and it is going much ear
lier than formerly. The result is that
enumerators who are set to work June

serted and their occupants gone away

APPLIES TO ATLANTIC PORTS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
sues Important Order.

Washington, February Exchanges
in the rules and regulations governing
lighterage and delivery service at
various Atlantic ports were authoriz-
ed today by the interstate commerce
commission on petition of the trunk
lines terminating at New York city.
The regulations will insure unifor-
nifty between shipments handled at
the Atlantic ports and at various
western points in the country
The order made by the commission
is very important to all Of the great
ports on the Atlantic coast as it au-
thorizes substantially a change in the
regulations which are in force at pre-
sent. In brief, the order authorizes
the substitution of the existing rates
for lighterage in New York after
March 1, and until March IA upon

Washington, February 2S. - When
the 9-hour law hearing was resumed
today by the interstate commerce COM
mission only few railway companies
which had L1ade application under
the law for extension Of the time OF
its enforcement renamed yet to be
-iearG.
John L. Davis, the superintendent
Of telegraph, Of the Evansville and
Teire daute Railroad, urged that 1t
was impossible for his line to secure
competent and dependable operators
to man their stations. He explained
that during the past few months there
had been such a stump in the business
of the road that some of the Offices
which had been established previously
were not needed at the present time
George r. Peck, general counsel Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul
Railway, urged an extension of the
law 80 far IS his company was con-
cerned, because the expenditure OF
$500 ,000 a year, fn>nis opinion, would
be an economic waste of money.
| E. w. McKenna, second vice-presi-
dent of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railroad, explained that 425
Offices on his system were day and
night Offices and would be affected
by the operation Of the nine-hour
1aw He asked for an extension as to
- CT those Offices.
lfr. Perhan, president of the Or
der Of Railway Telographers, said that
he considered eleven hours, which
the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
operators were required to work. too
long for th.'t sort of service.
The hearing was brought to con-
|clusion with statement Of Nr. Per-
ham in which he reviewed briefly the
statements maue in behalf Of the var
ious petitioners. In his opinion scarce
ly one Of the railroads had presented
which ought to induce the
commission to extend the law. He said
that the closing Of the stations would
have the effect, probably of delaying
trains somewhat, but not of endang-
ering lives or property.
1t is expected that the commission
will render a decision not later than
Tuesday next.

A large number of excited foreigners

were sleeping in the upper portion of
the houses and when they found the
exits blocked by flames a panic re-
