new and decisive departure, in the aban
donment of the treaty, and the presen
tation of a joint resolution of annexa

corporates all of the provisions of the
treaty, so that if it is adopted, it will
not be necessary for our own Govern
ment to do anything further in the
matter. The treaty as ratified by the Ha
waiian Senate is treated not as annex
ation by treaty, but a cession by the
Hawaiian Government of the sover
eignity of the Islands to the United
States.

gians, but so far, no means have yet
been discovered by which they can en-
orce their views. And the world grows
better.
The cruiser Amazonas, sold by the
Brazilian Government to the United
States, was built by the Armstrongs,
and is probably a better vessel than
any constructed in the United States.
The reason is that these ship builders

Committee Interviews Executive
On Income Tax.
A committee for the House, consist
ing of Messrs. Paris, Gear and Pogue,
had quite a conference with the Cabi
net yesterday afternoon on the Income
Tax act, now before the Representa
tives. The act was introduced by Mr.
Robertson, being a re draft of the Win
ston bill cf last session declared uncon-
uiuuonai Dy tne Supreme Court. The
Cabinet was asked squarely its opinion
upon the proposed legislation and an-
ontritru nauKiy. i ne ministers are
united in opposition to the act. They
favor individually the principle of In
come Tax, but do not believe its oper
ation here now expedient, practicable
or necessary. The chief points made
against the act are the difficulty of the
imposition or enforcement of its pro
visions, the fact that there is not press
ing need for such additional revenue as
might be secured and the further fact
that it would appear unjust to add to
the taxes now collected.

they are perfectly natural and are easily
explained. They are the necessary result
of purifying and enriching the blood.
Pure blood is the foundation of health.
Hood s Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
.runner and cures disease by purifying
ana enricning the blood.
j- Fuiwr curaiivf power,
that is, it cures when other medicines
cannot cure, because it is peculiar in com
bination, proportion and process.
That is all there is to be explained about
the cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
If you have faithfully tried Hood's Sar
saparilla you know how it is yourself; if
you have not tried it, why not do bo today?
" I have been troubled with scrofula all
my life, and it affected my eyes so that I
was obliged to remain in a dark room. I
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. Now
my eyes are so strong that the lteht nevei
troubles me, and my health is good."
Mrs. Carrie Weeks, Lompoc, Cal.
Damages Too Heavy.
In what has become known in the
Circuit Court here as the Kohala Ka
huna case, Judge Stanley has ordered a
new trial. He finds that the jury made
the damages to the aggrieved party too
heavy. The award was $2,000 and it
was against a native policeman. An
effort will be made to introduce new
evidence upon the second trial, al
though it is possible a compromise may
be made in the meantime. It appears
that the lady charged with kahunaism
was an earnest Christian worker, the
wife of a native pastor.

A NEW HERESY.
There are symptons of itJie coming of
another exciting trial for lieresy, in the
Presbyterian church of America. Prof.
A. C. CVIcGiffert of the Union Theologi
cal Seminary of New York, is the au
thor of a recent work titled 'A History
of Christianity in the Apostolic Age."
The book is said by Prof. Shailer Mat
fthews of the University of Chicago to
be "on the whole the most notable ad
- dition to theological literature on the
side of critical church history and New
Testament criticism as yet made by any
American." Dr. Geo. P. Fisher and Dr.
Lymani Abbott unreservedly endorse
the book. .
The controversy will arise among
other things on Professor McGiffert's
comments on the character and office of
the Lord's Supper. His statement is:
" . . '.The fact must be recognized
that it was not absolutely certain that
Jesus Himself actually instituted sruch
a supper and directed His disciples to
eat and drink in remembrance of Him
(as Paul says in I Cor. xi. 24, 25). Ex
pecting as He did to return at an early
day (cf. Mark xiv. 25), He can hardly
have been solicitous rto provide for the
preservation of His memory; and it is
a notable fact that neither Matthew nor
Mark records such a command, while
the passage in which it occurs in Luke
is omitted in many of the oldest MSS.,
and is regarded as an interpolation by
Westcott and Hort. ....
"It was apparenty not the institution
of a memorial feast that He had in
mind so much as the announcement of
His impending death and the assurance
that it would result not in evil but in
good to His disciples. He had already
told them that He must die, and that
His death would be in reality a means
of blessing to them. He now repeated
thai prophecy and promise in vivid
and impressive symbol. As the bread
was broken and the wine poured out so
must His body be broken and His
blood shed, but not in vain; it was for
their sake, and not for theirs alone,
but for tthe sake of many. To read into
this simple and touching act unpre
meditated and yet summing up in itself
the whole story of His life of service
and of sacrifice subtle and abstruse
doctrines is to do Jesus a great injus
tice; for it takes from the scene all
its beautiful naturalness, which. Is so
characteristic of Him and so iperfectly
in keeping with His direct and unaf
fected thought and speech. He was not

$10,000 for park trails in Olaa cross

IB
There was no session of the House.
At 10 o'clock there were about five
members present. A little later one or
two straggled along and then one or
two took a hack and went away, know
ing that the Speaker was waiting anxi
ously for a quorum. At 10:20 the
Speaker sent a warning to the one lone
member in the hall puffing away at his
cigar, tto the effect that the House
would adjourn if he did not present
himself at once. He said: "Le- her
adjourn." The Speaker rapped with
his gavel and declared the House ad
journed. There seemed to be no incli
nation on the part of the members to
work.

I BIGITCLES is that
they are weather wheels.
During all this inclement
weather we have been con
stantly beseiged by buyers
and prospective buyers of
Tribunes.
Another peculiarity of the
wheel is that they are the
most honest wheel built, and
in this respect are the envy
of all competitors. It is a
peculiarity that . all. makers
would like to imitate, if they
could afford to do so. The
trouble with most of these
same makers is that they
cannot afford to put material
n mai is maae to wear.
They have to pay too much.
T11 81 Streaks
Ladies or Gentlemen's
wheels in three models, at
$6.00, $8.00 and $100.00,
are the cheapest on the mar
ket. We also have these
same wneels nnished in
black striped with gold.
Perhaps a " Columbus "
wheel, ladies' model or a
mens model "Zimmy, will
do you. If so, we can sell
you these at such a price
that you will consider it too
low; but they are good stock
just the same, and worth a
great deal more money.
