Fifty Cents Well Invested. Economy is wealth; simple incidents have established the destinies of monarchies and of republics, monopolies an Individuals. Timely appliances will often avert great evils; prompt action is frequently required and only a little of that to prevent serious consequences. Take “a cold,’ 1 for example. If not checked in time, like a spark of Are, it may causegreat trouble, suffering, and distress. To stop a fire In the beginning is comparatively an easy process to that of subduing an extensive conflagration. So Radway’s Ready Relief taken in time will prevent all of the serious consequences arising from neglecting a cold. For a chill, take from a half to a teaspoonful of Ready Relief In a half tumbler of water, drink it down and repeat if necessary. to warm up. For pains in the chest, side, or back rub freely with Ready Relief, applied by the land, till the skin comes to a glow; cover veil up and keep warm; one or both of the above appliances will cure ninety-nine cases out of every one hundred. Newspaper Tax in Turkey. A peculiar feature in Ottoman journalism is the fact that every pub i-her is required by law to pay a revenue tax of two paras, or one-fifth of a cent, per jopy printed each issue. This tax is collected by issuing stamps for the purpose which are to be pasted a each sheet, like postage stamps, be i Oro going to press, and canceled by the printing running over them. In consequence the unfortunate publisher is forced to pay a tax on waste copies as well a i on unsold ones. It is therefore evident that a paper printing 10,000 copies is taxed at S2O every day in the year.— Printers’ Ink. SIOO Kewanl. 8100.

I HAWAII BHOWS FIGHT WILL RESIST ARMED INVASION WITH ARMS. Determined Men Pledge Their Support to the Provisional Government in Repelling Any Attack Upon It in Violation of the Law of Nations. All Nations Notified, Honolulu advices via Victoria, B. C., say that since the arrival there of the steamer Warrimoo, political events have followed each other with startling rapidity. Dispatches forwarded the Associated Press by sailing vessels have not fully anticipated the serious condition Hawaii is now passing through in the most determined and heroic way. When the Warrimoo arrived with President Cleveland’s ultimatum the royalists were jubilant and the annexationists at once began to carry out previous plans for forcible resistance in case the steamer China, which arrived three days later, brought instruction to Minister Willis for the restoration of the monarchy with the aid of the United States troops from the warships Adams and Philadelphia. Within twenty-four hours after the news brought by the Warrimoo was received 1,600 determined annexationists had assembled on short notice at the drillshed of the barracks behind the executive building. The meeting was short but wildly enthusiastic. The following resolutions were passed without a dis- ’ seating voice from the thousand or ' more present: I Resolved, That we have read with surprise । and regret the recommend tion of the Secrei tary of State of the United States to the Presl- | dent to restore the monarchy lately exisiting i in Hawaii. j Resolved, That we condemn the assumption of the Secretary that the right of the Provig- ! ional Government to exist was terminated by ; his refusal to resubmit to the Senate the treaty j of union pending between the two countries. and also nis assumption that the Provisional Government at that very time submitted the question of its continued existence to the arbitrament of the President or of any other power. Resolved, That we support, to the best of our ability the Provisional Government to resist any attack upon it which may be made coni trary to the usage of nations. I Since this mass-meeting the spirit of ' enthusiasm which at first prevailed | among the royalits has been in a state । of fluctuation, and some of the clearest- ! headed leaders admit that the success ; of the restoration in the present or fuf ture depends on the armed protection of the monarchy by toe United States. i The first action of the authorities ' after the arrival of the text of Com- ' missioner Blount’s report was to rei move Fred Wunderburg, a royalist sympathizer, from the clerksnip he held in the Supreme Court." The ad- | vices also say that it has been learned j upon the best authority, directly from ! royalist sources, that the British Min- ‘ ister-resident, Mr. Wodehouse, has ; lately stated to dis eu nt persons in । Honolulu that there was an under- ' standing between Fresident Cleveland and the English government that the monarchy should be restored. i In private political circles on the an--1 nexationist side the opinion has been i freely expressed that the presence of the British cruiser Champion t ere at the present time was owing to the fear . of the English foreign office that Presij dent Cleveland would not be able to ; carry out his policy. This theory j executiv^r-wwe-nn advisory 5 council special session was held in ‘ which Mr. Brown in:reduced the following resolution which was unanimously recomme: ded by the council to the executive: j Resolved, That the executive council inquire of the American minister whether his instructions were covered by and are in harmony with the letter of Secretary uresham to President Cleveland; if so whether he was instructed to use force. Resolved, That should the answer be tn the affirmative this council reco iSnends that Mr. Willis be immediately given his passport and the ex-Queen be made prisoner ot state. Fear of tin- British. I The fear of the Council seems to be that the British will offer protection to the ex-Queen in case Cleveland fails to restore her. This is the chief reason that notice has been given foreign officials not to land troops without permission of the provisional government. In view of the attitude assumed by President Cleveland the American citizens presented a protest to Minister Willis, which has been numerously signed, in which they Set forth that as citizens of the United States they have done nothing whereby they forfeit or wave their full legal and constitutional rights as such citizens. The document contains six typewritten pages of recitation before the signatures, and closes with the following words: And the undersigned hereby solemnly and respectfully protest to your excellency and to Grover Cleveland, President of the’ United States: to Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State; to Hilary A. Herbert. Secretary of" the Navy, and to Rear Admiral John Irwin, commanding the United States naval forces now in Hawaiian waters, and a all concerned, that any such acts of war m hostility, if taken, attempted, or announced in time of the profound | peace now existing between the United States | and the Hawaiian islands, or without anv full. । formal, timely announcement thereof, will and would be cause for all concerned in authority I to be responsible for all consequences that I may ensue therefrom, not only before Ali mighty God, but all sanctioned rules and ob- ; servances of civilized nations in their dealings with each other, and will and would be in violation of the rights of the undersigned, secured and belonging to them as citizens of the United States of America. ROBBED OF THOUSANDS. Cashier A. J. Robinson Is Assaulted in the Chicago I’ostoftlce. ) A. J. Robinson, cashier of the wholesale stamp department in the Chicago : postoffice, was assaulted and robbed . while in his office Tuesday night. The amount secured is said to be nearly SIO,OOO. Mr. Robinson was alone in his office when the robbers entered by meafis of a secret rap on the door, and, after knocking him senseless, fled with the procurable cash. j It was about 6:30 o’clock when the rap at the door came. It was the secret rap, known only to such employes as were entitled to the privilege of en- ; tering the place, and the cashier had ! no hesitancy in opening the door. He i was preparing to close up his accounts l for the night and had counted his cash. । The money was lying on his desk. As ■ he opened the door he saw a well- • dressed man of middle age and good • address. I “I beg your pardon, sir, ” the stranger 1 said, “but are you the cashier in tiio 1 stamp department?” “I am,” replied j Mr. Robinson. “You are the man I I want to see then,” replied the caller, j “Do your accounts balance for the I night?” I Mr. Robinson was slightly surprised ' at the question, but at the plausible

explanation which followed all i were removed. He told the m&u that I his accounts did hot balance, and that although he had gone over them two or three times they were out of the way. “Well, I think I can explain th 6 difficulty, ” interrupted the stranger. "My son purchased some stamps from the wholesale department this afternoon, and when he reached my office I discovered that ( a mistake had been made. The package contained more stamps than had been paid for. You will find them here in this package, with a note from my son making a statementof the facts in the case,” Mr. Robin-on was then handed a little roll, and thinking it was stamps which the man wished to return, went a few steps away to the electric light and began to unroll it. As he lowered his head he was struck, and this was the last hi remembered for over three hours. His assailant then went behind the wire door and secured a large amount of money. He then escaped through the window on Adams street, but in doing so dropped three packages containing over S9OO. Several thousand dollars in gold was left untouched in the safe, and the door was open. Mr. Robinson lay unconscious un^fl 10 o'clock, when the night retail sta#P seller, Mr. Zimmer, came on J&q Robinson, was taken to the rian Hospital in the ambulance, ah Officers Griffin and Smith from tie Central Station were put to work ' the case.

The revised tariff bill has been laid before the Ways and Means Committee. The changes which have been made in the bill since it was first given to the public are as follows: Tin plate, from 40 per cent, ad valorem t >one and one-fifth cents per pound, with a provision that the reduction shall n>t go ' into effect until Oct. 1. 18)4. PeaH buttons, from 40 per cent, ad val< rem to one cent per line and fifteen per cent, ad valorem. Velvet and tapestry, velvet carpets, figured or plain, an i all carpeting of like character incre ised from 25 to 30 per cent, ad valorem. -Tapestry Brussels, treble ingrain and other kinds of carpets increased 5 per cent, ad valorem. A change is made in the time when the woolen schedule shall go into effect. The first print of the bill stated that the woolen schedule shall go into effect July 1, 1894, and that < n all rates of duty in the woolen schedule except on carpets there shall be a reduction of 1 cent on the hundred every year until 1900. This is changed so that the woolen schedule shall go into effect the same time as the remain ler of the bill, and that the reductions which are to follow will be on all woolens except carpets, there being no change in this particular provision. The silk schedule is now as follows: Silk partially manufactured from cocoons or from waste silk, and not further advanced or manufactured than carded or comled silk, 25 cents per pound. Thrown silk, not more advanced than singles, tram, or gauzine sewing silk, twLt. floss, and silk | threads or yarn* of every do. except spun silk, 25 per cent. ' lorem: spun silk in skins, cops, warps, or on b?am-, 30 percent, ad valorem. The cotton thread schedule is changed so as to make the ad valorem duty fixed apply to a cheaper grade of thread in each case. The following has been added to the wood schedule taken from the free list: Lumber of any sort, planed or finished, for each side planed or finished, 50 cents per 1.0 io fee:, beard measure: and if planed on one side and tongued and grooved. $1 per l.(M0 feet, board measure: and if i laned on two tides and tongued aid grooved, $1.5 • per 1,000 feet, board measure; and in estimating board measure under this schedule no deduction shall be made on board measure on account of planing, tonguing and grooving. There are numerous changes in the free list. Burlaps are added to dutiable list at 15 per cent, ad valorem; brushes and feather dusters increased from 25 to 30 percent.; jewelry, 25 to 35 per cent.; petroleum, crud® or refine 1, added to the free list if the country importing admits the American product free; original drawings and engravings and sketches and artists’ proofs of etchings and engravings and statuary of wood, aided to free list; mother of pearl, sawed and cut, taken from the free list.

The store of the Famous Clothing and Shoe Company at St. Louis was damaged $150,000 by fire and water. Samuel Cheeves was burned to death at Temple, Tex., while trying to save property in a burning building. Dispatches received at Cape Town say many of the Matabeles have surrendered and the country is comparatively quiet. Minister Romero has issueda statement declaring the accounts of revolutionary movements in Mexico gr jssly exaggerated.

That Fatal Name of Booth. There is one country in Europe, at : any rate, where the salvation Army I has until now been unable to secure a i foothold, namely, Russia, and so anx- : ious arc the Miiscovite authorities to 1 keep it out that they object even to I Jany_ one bearing the name of Booth en- I tering the domli ions of the Czar. An illustration thereof is furnished by the . letter which a well-known English tim- ■ bor merchant has addre sed to the London Times. It seem; that on reaching the Russian frontier at Eydtkuhnen he was informed that, mtwith- ; standing the passport with which he i had been furmshed by the Engli-h Foreign Offic?, duly vised by the Rus- i sian Amba-sudor in London, he could not be allowed to enter the land of the i Czar, in tructions to that effect having been received from St. Petersburg. He thereupon proceeded to ether frontier towns, but still the same im; assable barrier blocked his path. It was only ■ on his return that the reason for this attitude on the part if the Russian ; authorities was explained. It seems that the name of the merchant was Booth, and it had been assumed that he was either a relative ora disciple of the “General.” Girding the Holy L<an I with Hails.

Iwhrre Wakefulness Has Its Birth. physicians are regarding with an and less favorable the nsc of norcottos.^Rtbile these are used In extreme cases to greatly needed temporary relief, professloual efforts are far more generally dlrect•d. nowadays than formerly, to means of building up the nervous «j stem as the basis of its healthful quietude. This is one reason why Hostetter’s Stomach Hitters has received 1 the sanction of physicians as a nervine tonic. ■ Indigestion unrelieved is the fruitful father | of insomnia, and the relief of the parent malady by the Hitters is usually followed by a . return to tranquil sleep. Overwork, mental anxiety, sedentary habits Impair digestion and weaken the nerves. The Hitters strengthI ens them by renewing the ability to digest anil assimilate the food. Besides this, it healthfully stimulates the liver and kidneys. !

In days long gone by the bull was frequently in evidence —always lively, always unexpected. In the Irish House of Commons of 1791, during the debate on the prop >sed leather tax, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, i Sir John Parnell, an ancestor of the | late home rule leader, maintained that “during the present wir every man ought to give bis la-t guinea t 'protect the remainder." To which Mr. Vandeleur replied: “However that may be. a j tax on leather would be severely felt i ' by the barefooted peasants of Ireland.” ; i But Sir Boyle R' che pointed out that this objection could easily be met “by making the under leathers of wood.” ; —London Queen. i THROAT DISEASES commence with a Cough, Cold or Sore Throat. ‘■•Urown's Bronchial Troches" give immediate relief.

THE WOES OF ICELAND. Things Seem to Be Going from Bad to Worse There. The accounts which have just reached Europe from that most distressful island in the Arctic seas give us little . reason to hope that anything can be done to remedy tire woes of Iceland esI sentially. Like most of the remainder i of the world, that remote little country ; has enjoyed this year an almost unprecedented wealth of sunlight and heat, ’ says the London Saturday Review. । The brief Icelandic summer can have I a rare beauty of its own, and that of I 1893 has been enchanting. Steady drought in June, rains in July, and warm, dry weather again in August, brought on the hay to great advantage, and the latest batch of letters speak ol the harvest as unusually promising. , Almost everywhere along the coast the fisheries have been excellently successful. It is plain, therefore, that foi . once Iceland has had a chance from the weather, which has of late years been its most cruel enemy. If a succession of good seasons like the present had occurred a dozen years I ago Iceland might have been saved, i But especially since the political agita- | tions of 1885, which disturbed and dis- > couraged the population, things have ■ been going materially from bad to I worse. We are occasionally called ' ; upon to listen to jeremiads about Ice- I landic starvation from those whose j sentiment for the Icelanders is more active than their information is exact, i and the English public ha; become sus- i • picious of cries of “Wolf:” But the j ; present season, with its excellent i I weather and good supplies of food, has ' ■ not shown any reaction against the i dra’ning away of the people. This j summer no fewer than CO i persons emi- i > grated t> America, bringing the population below that limit of 70,000 to which it had already dwind’ed. The i land n>w contains, it is believed,: fewer inhabitants than it did in 1870, I ; before the temporary rise in Icelandic I I prosperity. The emigrants are largely : I of the farm-laborer c’asq and there is : i a growing complaint that portions of I i the country are going out of cultiva- । tion because there is no one to work oa j the laud. The great geyser has been very slug- j gish this year' and it is believed that : weather which is excellent for crops ' I acts in a deu’orable way upon this class of phenomena. It is bv her extraordinary sights and by the visitors drawn to see them that Iceland must hope to live. Stalwart Swedish Men and Maidens. What enormous fellows and what leviathan persons some of these Swedish men and women are! Nowhere will you see such noble specimens of adult humanity as in Stockholm's streets. The feature seems to pervade all । classes, though it is not least striking ! among the nobility. Six feet is ac< ml mon height for a man here, and really ! I do not believe I exaggerate in saying i that men of 6 feet 3 or 4 inches are as abundant in Stockholm as men of 6 feet with us. The tallness of the women is just as noteworthy. You remark it less, however, because they are so wellproportioned. They say it is easy to tell by the size of the boots outside j the doors which rooms of a hotel are i occupied by the Swedish fair. This is ' ! a verv endurable hit ladies. ThbugtunrUv do wear sixes or । sevens in shoe leather, no sculptor would find fault with them on professional grounds. Moreover, they have most winsome complexions, and, of course, blue eyes are nowhere more intensely blue. —Cornhill Magazine.
