UNKIND COMMENT.

The Congressional party touring the
Hawaiian Islands was treated to a
sight of the volcano Kilauea Out of
compliment to it's distinguished visit
ors the volcano became active as the
travellers approached. It spouted for
the spouters, docilely obeying the fiery
dictates of its mahine to pour lava
down the slopes. The analogy be-
tween an active volcano and a re-
preventative in Congress is well-night
perfect. A volcano is actuated by hid
den motives and sUbterranean ma
chinery. 1t makes a great smoke, and
one is sure that it conceals a fire. 1t
has bland exterior, but a tremen-
dously bad odor.-News Letted.

DANISH PARSON
ROASDS PEARY

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. S.
The Rev. Mr.. Ludwigs, a Danish clergy
man from Greenland, lectured here last
night before a large audience on the
ICook-Peary controversy. He said Peary
was a ma nof iron who held the Es-
KINDS in contempt and was hated by
many of them for his harsh methods
The minister declared that the comman
der treated natives like slaves and that
some of those on the far north often
would come to the Danish colonies and
complain of him. Mr.. Ludwigs also
said that once Peary left all the women
and children of an Eskimo tribe alone
on the ice without provisions because
they were hindrance to his journey.
The speaker declared that he did not
believe word of Commander Peary's
examination of Dr. Cooks Eskimos. for
no Eskimo would dare to say to Peary
anything the explorer did not wish to
hear. Peary had become a legendary
figure in the polar regions, the clergy
man asserted, and everybody trembled
upon meeting him.
HIGH PRAISE FOR DIR. COOK.
Regarding DR.. Cook, Mr.. Ludwigs had
nothing except good to say He COLI
sidered Cook thorough gentleman and
asserted that everybody in Greenland
who had met him believed in him.
Mr.. Ludwigs had many stories of the
trip home on the Hans Egede with DR..
Cook
The DOCTOR said he" was the only
man allowed to go ashore at Lerwick
to send kilograms. He had no decent
oVercoat and borrowed mine, which, as
matter of fact, was not mine, but be-
longed to the ministerial department.
When Cook returned to the ship he
told me that no sensation or excitement
OF his whole polar trip could compare
with his feelings when in the dark and
narrow telegraph room at Lerwick he
wrote and addressed with a trembling
hand the first message to his wife.
There were only three words: L am
alive DR.. Cooks most intimate friend
on the Hans Egede with whom he pass
ed most of his time, was a baby about
the age of his own"

SAYS NAVY FEARS
THAT HONOLULU
IS TOO BERRY

The following fake appears in a San
Francisco paper as Honolulu CORES
pondence:
HONOLULU, October sit is stated
by officers of Admiral Sebree's cruiser
squadron, which left Honolulu today
for the Admiralty Islands, that it is
improbable any vessel of war of the
United States will make a protracted
stay here for some time, and that it is
unlikely that the men of Uncle Sam S
men-o-war will be paid off in this port
again, on account of the critisism of
the boys and the way they were held
up to contumely by the temperance
element of the city.
The fuss made over the fact that
the sailors boys succeeded a week
ago last Sunday in getting all the beer
they wanted when Honolulu is sup
posed to be dry as the Sahara desert
on Sunday, has disguested the naval
authorities. The sailors of the squa-
dron were paid off in this port soon
after their arrival, and although they
had good time, they were very well
behaved and there is no reason what
ever for the critisms that have been
made of them by certain elements

AUTUMN TIM e.
Nature Unfolding a Grand Panorama
for Man.

Charleston Gazette.
There is the tang of autumn in the air.
The smoky look is about the hills and at
twilight every valley seems to be full of
the camptires of the ghosts of the Indian
hunters who in the old days journeyed
far to hunt along the waters of the Ka-
nawha. The tang of wood smoke seems
ever to be in the nostrils of the man who
really loves the fall, and in the dreams of
the real hunter there sounds the whirr of
birds that hope has destined to fall before
his unerring gun during the coming hunt
ing season
The nimrods of the state have almost
all procured their hunters licenses and
nothing remains but the waiting for the
time when with the legal restrictions re-
moved they can HE to the fields and be
as happy as only the born hunter can be.
The joy time of the year is at hand, AID
while nature dons the pied coat of the
autumn time and the year draws to a glo-
rious close the feast of the fall, the deli
cious soul-soothing, spirit-thrilling feast
OF the joy of life, is ready for the enjoy
ment of the world.
Nature is always beautiful, always
worthy, but when the first touch of frost
makes the breath rise like an incense on
the spicy air, then men feel an additional
vigor that makes the fall the time for the
full enjoyment of life. When the woods
are full of the mystery of the hazy time,
when they stand silent with nothing to
disturb the quiet OF the dreamful day but
the rustic of dead leaves or the occasional
dropping of n chestnut from its opening
burr, when to breathe the very breath OF
lie is to dream the dream that the day
inspires.
1t is the real time to know the greatness
OF Him who is the Creator when you can
read His written word in the letters OF
gold, bronze, and brown on the notified
background of the leaf-matted ground
and hear the whisper of His great love in
the lisp OF the leaves that tell to willing
hearts the stories well known in the days
OF childhood, but all too easily forgotten
in the time of manhood, except in the
golden hours when the song of the forest,
the Tilt OF bird, or the passing of a cloud,
brings to us the aspirations that are the
soul of real happiness.
The fall time is here. Drink the cup il
offers, and you, and not Ponce de Leon.
| Will have found the fountain that is the
| quest of the world, for he who dreams his
dreams, and dreams them well, his heart
IS ever young.

seven days a week and just as many hours

unnecessary Sunday work already de-
manded by the corporations is one more
evidence OF their inhuman greed. Some
say the men arc not compelled to work

take their choice Of work on Sunday or

concerned about the rights and privileges
