IlIE LATE PRINCESS.
"Death is a friend of ours, and he
"who is not ready to entertain him is
not at home." (Bacon.)
"Nature glories in death more than
ia life. The month, of departure is
more beautiful than the month of
coming." (Henry Ward Beecher.)
We recall now the elegant words of
Ilisnop Hall, uttered from the pulpit on
loo Uaaen death of lovely Princess
Charlotte in 1817, in whom was the
hope of the British nation. She like
our own Princess was born to fill a
most conspicuous office. Both in early
life were cast down from high posi
tion, one by death alone, the other by
misfortune and death. These are the
Bishop's words:
"We measure the heights from which
they fell, and calculate the extent of
their losa on a scale proportioned to
the value we have .been accustomed
to attacn to the immunities and en
joyments w'hich it deprives them.
Hence the misfortunes of princes who
iiave survived their greatness, and ter
minated a brilliant career by captivity
and death, have been selected by poets
in every age as the bases of those fic
tions which are invented for the pur
pose of producing commiseration."
The death of Princess KaiulanI oc
cupies our thoughts now. She carried
"wh.Ho living the strangest and most
authentic romance of th-9 native Ha
waiian life. Her biography, and the
romance it expressed was known to
the English speaking race, in all lands,
and it has sympathized with her in
her misfortunes, for which she was not
responsible. In the book of her life
only twenty-four of the white pages
are inscribed with the eventful story,
ami it is .now closed and sealed to
liuman. eyes. Beyond the grave, its
sequel will be written.
Tho Princess received the com
mendation of all,- as time went on,
after the downfall of the Monarchy,
because she gave evidence of wise re
signation to her misfortune. She made
no .bitter quarrel with her fate, but
acted with true womanly dignity and
we respected' her for it, in spite of
differences on political subjects.
She lies now. in her dreamless bed,
and is beyond earthly comfort, and
all that we can klo is to make over
her grave a wilderness of flowers, and
keep her in pleasant memory.
FRANCE AND HER AFFLICTION
At the dinner given by the Union
Jeague Club of New York, in honor
of Mr. Ouioate, the new Embassador
at tho Bndsh Court, Mr. Elihu Root
who presided, gave, after many toasts
had been offered, and replied to in
brilliant speeches, the final toast of
the evening, "France in her affliction."
Tho toast was drunk standing by the
three hundred distinguished guests.
Within six years of the date of the
adoption of the American Constitution,
the Frencn, inspired by the example
of the American people, established a
Republic. Over pries hundred years go
Iby. The American Constitution covers
on empire of forty-five States, several
of them nearly as large as France,
and each State is in itself a well or
ganized republic.
France's Republic disappeared under
tho .Napoleonic Empire, remained help
less under Bourbon reign, became vital
again on the overthrow of the Bour
bons, disappeared again under the
Second Empire, and once more apT
pears in name at least, as a great
Power. i
Whilo the toast to "France in her
affliction" refers to the sudden death
of President Fan re, it might well refer
to France in her political affliction.
Although the Republic will probably
survive in spite of the internal trou
bles, there will be no peace until the
vicious system of centralized govern
ment is aoonsnea.
J. E. C. Bodley in his admirable
book recently published, declares that
the French people have lost their po
litical hopefulness, and seem to be
expecting some disaster. It is almost
rnno.An-A ihnf nnrlin.ment.'irv Ernvrn
ment in France is a failure as it is
now conducted, and only by a slow and
educational process can it be changed
' so as to become a well regulated pow
er. "Until tho French Assembly shall
cease to use its powers, in its own sel-
fiaa interests to strengthen centraliz
ation, there can be little hope of sta
bio government.
The great American Republic owes
its creation, over a hundred years ago,
largely to the aid and comfort given
by France. That generosity is quite
forgotten by the present generation of
Americans. It is, therefore, only a
graciom tact for us to Interpret this
toast as i one well suited to express
the feelings, of thoughtful Americans
towards tne nation that gave our fore-
fathers food and arms in th gloomy
days of the Revolution.
THE "CHECK REIN."
Mr. Allan Herbert calls the attention
of this paper to the cruelty practiced
by many of the educated and intelli
gent people of this city, in the abuse
of the checking rein upon horses. This
abuse is rapidly increasing. Any one
who will notice the teams, especially
the double ones, in our streets, sees
an unpardonable amount of cruelty in
flicted upon these noble animals.
Every one who desires to ascertain
whether this practice is or is not
cruej, may cause his or lier head to
be strapped up, as the horses heads
are frequently strapped up. The pain
and discomfort from it will quickly
convert any one who has any doubt
on the subject. The result of ta-king
the head out of its natural position is
pain, just as it is painful to place the
arm or leg, for any length cf time "in
an unnatural position.
In those parts of the Mainfand
where communities have become hu
mane, or 'have been compelled by the
lovers of animals, to be humane in
conduct, the abuse of the checking rein
has been stopped. The humane mis
sionaries in many communities to the
animal kingdom have made as strenu
ous a fight against cruel treatment, as
another class of missionaries have
made against the worship of idols in
distant parts. Their arduous work
has been among obstinate good people
who take no time to think about the
matter..
Perhaps seme day there will be a
Moody who, gifted -with the largest
sympathies for man and beast, will
institute "Revivals" in the interests
of the dumb animals, and will con
vince men that if there is "everlast
ing punishment," a portion of it will
be strictly appropriated to the use of
those who are guilty of cruelty to
animals. Nor, will there be any good
brother Damon to "hold back" the ap
propriation." THE PASSING HOUR.
There is alarm in the tone of dis
patches from Manila by both. Dewej
and Otis. The only deduction is that
there is cause for alarm.
There are at hand dispatches of two
days without any new proclamations
by Aguinaldo. The little Brown man
on horseback must be doing something.
It looks like a rising temperature in
affairs scrictly political at Washington,
when the gentleman from Ohio is re
pudiated on the floor of the 'House by
his colleagues of the same partisan
stripe.
It may be that when the plaV ground
or children of the street is provided
at Aala some of the wealthy men of
his place will contribute to the open
air mission something educational and
artistic.
Were there less of other business
of more importance pending, it might
be that the powers -would agree to the
effect that savage warfare in Samoa,
under the auspices of three enlighten
ed nations, should be discontinued.
Small wonder that President McKin-
ley, largely on behalf of his Secretary
of the Navy, urged the construction
of a cable to Honolulu. In the ab
sence of a wire the battleship Oregon
has been practically lost between San
Francisco and Manila.
It is notable that wet weather fails
utterly to dampen the ardor of the

WATER.
ooo
If the advice given in those three
words is heeded, good health will fol
low. City water i3 not good for many
reasons, principally, because it is con
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be a fact.
EXCERCISE
Our doctors are busy treating pa
tients who are suffering from com
plaints, more especially malarial dis
orders, which will be materially bene
fitted if they drink a water that la pure
and possesses curative features, as do?s
Bartlett Spring Water.
DUE
Ask your family physician about the
water, and If he is honest he will en
dorse Its use.
All who have drank the water speak
in the highest of terms for it. !
This climate demands the use of
such a water and you cannotafford to
be without It.
VIGILANCE.
We will serve free of charge a glass
of this wonderful natural Spring
water at our Soda Counter to all who
care to ccce and test its Tlrtue3. We
deliver the water to your home in case
lots at $6.50 for 50 pints, 9.50 for 50
quarts.

NEW PROCESS
BLUE FLAME OIL STOVE.
A sort of dread n:ay prevail anions
housewives that perhaps thce stoves
might explode, but wo caa hoscf tly say
that they are perfectly safe In every
home. To endorse our statement Just
have a talk with any insurance agent;
he will tell you at once that Le would
rather Insuro a homo where these
stoves are used than lsuo a policy on
a home where different stoves arc ucJ.
You wonder why the IV.-jo KUrco
stove should be better than any'othcr.
We'll tell you. In this country the rn.it-
ter of fuel Is a very larjo Item of ex
pense. As you hav turned or a
new leaf since the New Year and In
tend economizing where you never
thought of before, ycu xay begin oa
your coal' and wood. It Is a positive
fact that tho "DLUi: FLAME" uses
only about one-half the quantity of fuel
any other stove doe?. Another i'reat
advantage Is that there Is co fmokc or
smell.
These stoves arc placed cn rollers
and are so light they caa bj cully
moved about. We have thcai In two
sizes, one with two burners with ovca
attached and the other with threc
burners with oven. (The price of 'ac!c
stoves Is $16. 522.50 and S25.00).' Wc

thing to do is to com and look at
them.
