The price of tea is not likely to advance above the figures obtained at a London auction in 1891. At the Mincing Lane sales on Feb. 5 of that year a five pound parcel of Ceylon "Golden Tip" brought 25 10 s per pound, a sum equal to $23 in American standard or depreciated currency. The Egyptian dancing girls from th Midway Plaisance exported their dance to New York, but Dr. Parkhurst's highly moral police advised them tq "skip." They wanted to do just that, but the authorities in Gotham told them that 4 'skip" in New York meant to "clear out." The demoralizing spectacle was therefore postponed indefinitely.

The amended marriage laws of Pennsylvania, through a clerical error, perrbit marriage to be solemnized without a license until Oct. 1, 1895. Hoosier lovers desiring to save the price of a license, or eloping from parental wrath, will however continue to patronize the ministerial or judicial functionaries in the Southern Peninsula of Michigan, th new hymenial Eldorado being rather too remote for the prompt consummation of their heart's desire.

shades that boded ill alas, it was a "bitter pill." Then to the courts they soon appealed to have the knot that would not yield untied according to the law it was so tight it would not draw. Soon by the aid of cash and fee they were divorced again were free and vow that they will never joke or buy again a "pig in poke." A Seattle, Wash., man heard a racket in his kitchen one night recently, and on coming down stairs found a bear cub with its head in a panof blueberry preserves that had been placed on the floor to cool. The animal was killed but the preserves were ruined. The house was near the center of the city, and the manner in which the bear reached the place from the forest is a mystery. The State of Washington may well be said to be liout west. A polar bear, in a ferocious antitude, may be seen on North Illinois street, Indianapolis, any day. He is very dead, however, and has all the "preserves" inside of his ''lap robe."

"The City of Palms" at San Francisco is already bedecked in holiday attire, and the exhibits for the midwinter fair are to a great extent in position. California is felicitating and rejoicing over the prospective triumph which seems assured, and gives notice that, while the show will not approach in magnitude the Columbian Exposition, it will in some respects surpass it in interest. The exhibits from South America. Australia and the far-off islands of the Pacific will be especially notable.

Pennoyer, ktmay his tribe decrease," the peculiar Popular Governor of Oregon, not satisfied with his fame already acquired by the pubSic insults, studiouly offered, to two Presidents of the United States Harrison and Cleveland took advantage of his official position to forestall the national Thanksgiving holiday, and issued a proclamation of his own requesting his constitu ents to observe Thursday, Nov. 23, as a day of feasting. The people called the too previous holiday Pennoyer Day, but did not observe it with any degree of enthusiasm, and as a general thing saved their turkey until the national festival. A man in Benton, Ore., has written the Governor for his official dates for Christmas and New Year s Dav.

The suffering, starvation and destitution that is said to prevail in the great western metropolis does not appear to have greatly depressed the price of real estate. The property at the northeast corner of State and V ushington street, Chicago, was recently sold on a ninety-nine year lease, at a rental that establishes Its value at $1,400,000. or $160 a square foot. A number of corner lots in the business district have lately changed hands at valuations of from $100 to SI 44 a square foot. .

The spirit of modern reform does not appear to have penetrated to official circles in the Russian navy. A correspondent of the London Times recently visited several of the great warships belonging to the Czar, and found the most ludicrous customs prevailing among the seamen. The most rigid religious discipline was being enforced. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night there is a long service of prayers, psalms and the national hymn. At dinner and again at supper the seamen pass before an officer with their caps off and receive a glass of " vodka." which is the Russian whisky. If the men have not given respectful attention to religious services they are deprived of their allowance of 4 grog." It is needless to say that Russian sailors are the most pious men that sail the raging main.

People who direct letters to "New York" without deeming it necessary to add the "N. Y." suppose there is no possibility of their missives going .wrong. They rarely do all the same the.e are postotfices bearing that name in Kentucky, Michigan, Montana. Tennessee and Texas. There are also similar municipal designations in other States, notably: New York Flat and New York Landing, California; New York Landing, Kentucky; New York Junction, Maryland: New York Mills, Minnesota, and New York Quarry, Pennsylvania.

Readkrs of this paper are not likely to wake up and find that somebody has built a four-story house on their vacant lot. Mrs. Williams, of New York city, did, however. A few days ago she received a tax bill and was surprised to find that her wealth had increased since the last assessment from $900 to $0,500. Investigation revealed the fact that a Mrs. Shanks, through an error, had built a iour-sto? y light brick apartment house on Mrs. Williams vacant lot. The ladies are in trouble. Mrs. Williams owns the lot but does not desire to pay for the house, neither does she feel like taking advantage of her undoubted legal right to dispossess the builder and collect the rpnts. They have not decided on any plan of action but will settle the matter with a vi?w to substantial justice to both parties.

Of all the inexcusable prevaricators that afflict the world the family clock gone wrong ranks first. Day after day and night after night it holds up its hands and perjures its cogging soul without hope of fear, anticipation of reward or fear of punishment lies for the sake of lying and deceives its best friends with a malevolence and unblushing effrontery that passes understanding. However often it may be contradicted and started again in the path of rectitude, it speedily sets its face against the truth so often instilled by patient hands and willing hearts, and 'iike adog to his vomit'' soon "returns to its mutton" with an undaunted pertinacity and unchanging countenance worthy of a Chicago drummer. Exempt from the divine anathema it "gangs its gait", knowing that retribution can not harm or earthly judgments halt its criminal career, and ever exhibits to a dying world a countenance calm, serene and unmoved before the maledictions of puissant saint and puerile sinner.

Gratification at her triumph in being permitted to receive her just dues; regret that to avoid extended litigation she thought best to give up so large a portion of her rightful inheritance. That the other legatees saw final defeat goes without saying else they had never agreed to any compromise after such a bitter and prolonged contest as had already been waged.

CLEVELAND AND HAWAII.i

The President Submits the Wholo Matter to Congress.

till MeMftpc-The Queen Refused to Ac. ccpt the CoudltioDfl Imposed A Curious Complication. The President, on the, 18th, submitted to Congress his long Qxpected message on the Hawaiian aifair. Following is the text of the document: To the Senate and House of Representatives: In my n-eent annual message to Congress I brieily referred to our relations with Hawaii, and expressed the intention of transmitting further Information on the subject when additional advices permitted. Though J am not able now to report a deiinite change in the actual situation, 1 nm convinced that the ditlieulties lately created both her and in Hawaii, and now standing in the way of a solution, through executive action of the problem presented, render it proper and expedient that the matter should be referred to the broader authority and discretion of Congress, with a full explanation of the endeavor thus far made, to deal with the emergency and a statement of the considerations which have governed my action. I suppose that right and justice should determine tin path tube followed in treating this subject. If National honesty is to be disregarded, and a desire for territorial extension or dissatisfaction with a form of government not our own, is to regulate our conduct. 1 have entirely misapprehended t.lie mission and character of our Government: and tiie behavior which the conscftmee of our people demands of their public servants. When the present administration entered upon its duties the Senate had under consideration a treaty providing for the annexation of the Haw aiian islands to the territory of the United States. Surely under our constitution and laws the enlargement of our

limits is a manifestation of the highest attribute of sovereignty, and, if entered u Don as an executive act. all things relating to the transactions should, be clear and free from suspicion. Additional importance is attached to this peculiar treaty of annexation because it contempi at ed a departure from unbroken Am rican tradition in providing for addition to our territory of islands of the sea more than two thousand miles removed from our nearest coast. These considerations might not of tJensselvos call for interference .AJL we completion of a treaty estcrirrf upon by a previous administration. Put it appeared from the documents accompanying the treaty when submitted to the Senate, that the ownership of Haw aiia v. as tendered to us by a provisional government set tip to succeed the constitutional ruler of the islands who had be n dethroned, and itdid not appear that such provisional government had the sanction of either popular revolution or suffrage. SOME REMARKABLE FACTS. Two other remarkable features of the transaction naturally attracted attention. One was the extraordinary haste not to say precipitancy eharacterizing all the transactions connected with the treaty. It appeared that a so-called committee of safety, ostensibly the source of the revolt against the constitutional government of Hawaii, was organized on Saturday, the 14th day of January; that on Monday, the 16th, the United States forces were landed at Honolulu from a naval vessel lying in its harbor: that on the 17th the Pcheme of a provisional government was perfected and a proclamation naming its olh'cers was rn the same day prepared and read at the government buildings; that immediately, thereupon, the United States minister recognized the provisional government thus created ; that two days afterward, on thcli'thdayof January, commissioners representing such government sailed for this eountry in a steamer especially chartered for the occasion, arriving in San Francisco on the 25th day of January, and in Washington on the 2d day of February; that next day they had their first interview with the Secretary of State and another on the Uth, when the treaty annexing the islands was pi actually agreed upon, and that on the 14th it was formally concluded, and on the 15th transmitted to the Senate. Thus between the initiation of the scheme for a provisional goverment in Hawaii, on the 14th of January, and the submission to the Senate of the treaty of annexation, concluded with such government, the entire interval was thirty-two days, fifteen of which were spent by the Hawaiian commissioners in their journey to Washington. In the next place, upon the face of the papers submitted with the treaty, it clearly appeared that there was, open and undetermined, an issue of fact of the most vital importance. The message of the President accompanying the treaty declared that "the overthrow of the monarchy was not in any way promoted by this government." But a protest also accompanied said treaty signed by the Queen and her ministers at the time she made way for the provisional government which explicitly stated that she yielded to the superior force of the United States troops, whosa minister had caused the United States troops to be landed at Honolulu and declared that he would support such provisional government. The truth or falsity of this protest was surely of the tirst importance. If true, nothing but the concealment of its truth could induce our Government to negotiate with the semblance of a government thus created, nor could a treaty resulting from the acts stated in the protest have been knowingly deemed worthy of consideration by the Senate Yet the truth or falsity of the protest had not been investigated. MR. BLOUNT'S REPORT. I conceived it to be my duty, therefore, to withdraw the tready from the Senate for examination, and, meanwhile, to cause an accurate full and impartial investigation to be made of the facts attending the subversion of the constitutional government of Hawaii and the installment in its place of the provisional government. 7 selected for the work of investigation Hon. James H. Hiount. of Georgia. His report detailing his action undrthe instructions given to him. and the conclusions derived from his investigation accompany this message. These conclusions eo not rest for their acceptance entirely upon Mr. Mount's honesty and ability as a man, nor upon his acumen and impartiality as an investigator. They are accompanied by the evidence on which they are based, which evdenceis also herewith transmitted, and from which, it seems to me, no other deductions could possibly be reached than those arrived at by the commiasioner. The report, with its accompanying proofs and such other evidence as is now before Congress, or is herewith submitted, justifies, in my opinion, the statement that when the President was led to submit the treatv to the Senate with the declaration that "the overthrow ol the monarchy was not in any way promoted by this Government." and when the Senate was induced to receive "and discuss it on that basis, both President and Sn'ite were misled. The attempt will not he made in this communication to touch upon all the facts which throw light upon the progress and consummation of this scheme of annexation. A verv brief and imperfect reference to the facts and eviderce at hand will exhibit its character and the 'rcidct in which it had. it birth; It Is unnecessary to set forth the reasons which, in January. led a consider able portion of American and ether foreign merchants and trad rs at Honolulu to'fnvorthe annexation of Hawaii to tho United States, It is sulh'eieut to note the fact and to observe that the project was one which was zealously promoted by tho

INSTRUCTIONS TO WILLIS.

Condition 8 on Which LUloukalanl Coald Be Restored to Power The reception of the message and accompanying documents gave rise to a wrangle in the Senate over the question of making the correspondence public. At the same time Speaker Crisp gave them to tho public in tho House. The tirst of importance was Secretary Gresham's letter of introduction to Minister Willis, in which he says: "On your arrival you will inform the Queen of the President's position regarding the reprehensible conduct of tho American minit'r. and the presence on land of the United States forces, AdvNo her of the desire of this Government to do justice and undo wrong. You will, however, at the same time inform the Queen that the Presideut expects that she will extend amnesty to all who were connected with the provisional government, depriving thein of no right or privilege. Having secured the Queen's agreement to pursue this policy, you will advise the executive of the provisional government and his ministers of tho President's determination of this question, which their' action and that of the Queen devolved upon him. and that they are expected to promptly restore her constitutional authority. Should the Queen decline to pursue the course suggested, or should the provisional government refuse to abide by the President's decision, you will report the facts and await further instructions. Mr. Gresham telegraphed to Minister Willis at San Francisco under date of November 2: The brevity of your telegrams is embarrassing. You will insist on amnesty and a recognition of the obligations of the provisional government as essential conditions of the restoration. All interests would be protected by prompt action. GKKSHAM'S FUHTH Kit INSTRUCTIONS. Mr. Gresham to Mr. Willis: Dkiwktmknt ov State, ) Washington, I). C. !v., X 1893. f Your dispateh. which was received by steamer on the ih of November, seems to call for additional instructions. Should the Queen refuse to assent to the written conditions, you will at once inform her

minister representing the United States in thatcountry.

On the 19th day of November, 1892, nearly two months before the first overt act tending toward the subversion of the Hawaiian government and the attempted transfer of Hawaiian territory to the United States, ho addressed a long letter to the Secretary of State, in which the cause for annexation was elaborately argued on moral, political and economical

grounds. He refers to the loss to tho Ha-

waiian sugar interests from tho operation of the McKinley bill, and the tendency to a still further depreciation of sugar property unless some positive measure of relief is granted. He strongly inveighs against the existing Hawiian ' government, and emphatically declars for annexation. '1 heso declarations certainly show a disposition and condition of mind which may be usefully recalled, then interpreting the igniiicance of the minister's conc ded acts, or when considering the probabilities of such conduct on his part as may not be admitted. The President, to sustain his assertion that Stevens was an annexationist.quotes a letter from the ex-Minister to Secretary JUaine, in which M. Stevens asks for instructions a? to how far he could deviate from established usage, aod shows by other correspondence that on the dav the letter was written he had issued a proclamation assuming control and protection of the islands. Proceeding the President includes in his message a detailed account ot the revolution in Hawaii, which is substan

tially the same that has already been re- j

peatodly given to the public, and again asserts that the acts of Minister Stevens were wholly unjustiliable. Continuing the President says: Nevertheless, this wrongful recognition by our Minister placed tho government of the Queen in a position of most perilous perplexity. On tho one hand she had possession of the palace, of the barracks and of the police station, and had at her command at least five hundred fully armed men and several pieces of artillery. The President refers to to the annexation of Texas and the incidents leading thereto and tho delay of President Jackson in recognizing Texas, independence and says: This is in marked contrast with the hasty recognition of government openly and eoneededly set up for tho purpose of tendering to us territory annexation. I believe that a candid and thorough examination of the facts will force the conviction that the provisional government owes its existence to an armed invasion by the United States. Fairminded people, with the evidence before them, will hardly claim that the Hawaiian government was overthrown by the people of the islands, or that the provisional government has ever existed with their consent. I do not understand that any member of this Government claims that the people would uohold it by their suffrages if they were allowed to vote on the question. While sympathizing with all efforts to establish a republ ican form of government, in the present instance our duty does not, in my opinion. end with refusing to consummate this questionable transaction. It has b 'en the boast of our Government that it seeks to do justice in all things, without regard to the strength or weakness of those with whom it deals. I mistake tho American people f they favor the odious doctrine that there is no snch thing as international morality. The United State; can mn fail to vindicate its honor and its great sense of justice by an earnest effort to make all possible reparation. These principles apply to the present case with irresistible fort e when the the special conditions of the Queen's surrender of her sovereignty are recalled. She surrendered not to the provisional government, but to the United States. She surrendered, not absolutely and permanently, but temporarily and conditionally. MIX1STKK WILLIS'S INSTRUCTIONS. Actuated by the;e desires and purpose, and not unmindful of the inherent perplexities of the situation, nor of the limitations upon my power, I instructed Minister Willis to advise the Queen and her supporters of my desire to aid in the restoration of the status existing before the lawless landing of the United States forces at Honolulu, on the 16th of January last, if such restoration could bo effected upon terms providing clemency as well as justice to all parties concerned. These conditions have not proved acceptabie to the Queen, and though she has been informed that they will be insisted upon and that, unless acceded to, the efforts of the' President to aid in the restoration of her government will cease, I have not thus far learned that she is willing to yield and give them her acquiescence. The check which my plans have thus encountered has prevented their presentation to the members of the provisional government, while unfortunate public misrepresentations of the situation and exaggerated statements of the sentiments of our people have obviously injured the prospects of successful executive mediation. I therafore submit this communication with its accompanying exhibits. In commending this subject to the extended powers and wide discretion of the Congress, I desire to add the assurance that I shall be much gratitied to co-operate In any legislative plan which may be devised for the solution of the problem before the United States which is consistent with American honor, integrity and morality. Urovkr Clkvelaxp. Executive Mansion, December IB, 1893.

that the President will cease interposition in her behalf, and while he deems it hit duty to endep.vor to restore her, as the sovereign, and the constitutional government of the islands, his further efforts in that direction will depend upon the Queen's unqualified agreement that all obligations created by the provisional government in a proper course of administration, shall be assumed. The President feels that by our original interference and what followed, we have incurred resposibiJity to the whole Hawaiian community, and it would not be just to put one party at the mercy of the other. Should the Queen ask whether if she accedes to tho condition, active steps would be taken by the United States to effect restoration or to maintain her authority thereafter, you will say that the President can not use force without tho authority of Congress. Should the Queen accept conditions and the provisional government refuse to surrender von will be governed by previous instructions. Gkksham. VACCINATION AND SMALLPOX. Immunity from the Disease Has Created a false Security. Harper1 Weekly. If the truth were known it would probably appear that vaccination has not accomplished all that Jenner hoped for it. Seeing" his discovery so universally accepted at the outset, seeing it nip epidemics of smallpox in the bud, and so vastly reduce the mortality within a few years, he would have been strangely unimaginative had he not dreamed of a day when vaccination should so fully have triumphed as to have banished smallpox from the world forever. In theory such a hope found ample warrant. The human body furnishes the only soil, so far as known, on which the germs of this disease can multiply and retain their virulence. Vaccination renders the body no longer habitable for these germs. If, therefore, the entire race could be given immunity through vaccination, time being allowed for the destruction of such unproductive germs as hud found temporary lodgment elsewhere than in the body, smallpox would cease to exist. Its last germ killed, there is no more reason to suppose that it would ever originate again than there is to expect the reappearance of the great auk, the mammoth, or the glyptodon. In theory such an achievement might require but a month or a year, but in reality a century has not accomplished it. The chief reason why vaccination has failed of this ultimate ideal achievement is paradoxical though it sounds because vaccination has operated so efficiently. So nearly has it banished smallpox that no one no one now fears that disease and a general carelessness now prevails regarding it. No better commentary in this regard could be made than mention of the fact that two physicians recently contracted the disease in New York from a case which came to a dispensary .where they were in attendance. If physicians fail to give themselves immunity, what shall we expect from the public at large? The other chief factor which cooperates with carelessness to keep smallpox in existence is ignorance. So little is smallpox heard of now that many among the more ignorant classes scarcely know the meaning of vaccination. Health officers find many persons who supposed they are being vaccinated to "cleanse the blood. It does not matter much what they think, perhaps, so long as they submit to th operation. But many decline the boon, and these, of course, remain susceptible to the disease. Our laws offer protection to all but force it on no one. Abroad in many places vaccination is compulsory, a fine being imposed if any child is found unvacciftated at a certain age. The result thus aimed at is accomplished in this country in a more pleasant way by prohibiting unvaccinated children from attendance upon the public schools. This measure, together with the constant solicitations of health officers, results in the vaccination of a very large proportion of infants. But vaccination in infancy is not enough. It gives immunity for a time, but with growth the" tissues change, and after a few years the body becomes again susceptible. Revaccination must be practiced when the child is six or seven years old, and again during adolescence. Even this third vaccination does not always give protection throughout life. ' Immunity should be tested every few years by repeated vaccinations, and only persons who have been submitted to this test within a few years past can at any time feel fully assured that they are insusceptible to smallpox. Ignorance, ol this fact is most potent in giving

smallpox ahold upon the community. Not alone the ignorant, but many people of intelligence suppose that so long as the scar of a previous vaccination appears they are immune, and with confidence born of this delusional belief, go about the world almost as susceptible to smallpox as ii they had never been vaccinated. For such persons chiefly the prosenf words, with their obvious moral, ar intended. In a Kostaurant, Texas Mf tings. Guest What have you got? Waiter I've got liver, calf's brains, pigs feet.
