SCENES AT THE hospital.
Most of those first taken out of the
ruins were carried to the Emergency
hospital. About 10:30 o’clock the
dead and injured began to arrive fast
or than the corps of surgeons could at¬
tend to their injuries. Carried in on
stretchers, they were dumped nt the
most convenient places. Those who
were most seriously injured were ; at
tended to, while the others, groaning
and crying from the pain of broken
limbs, lay drnpless, beseeching the
doctors to dress their wounds.
iikaktkk.nmso INCIDENTS.
Shortly after the arrival of the first
unfortunates, a crowd began to as
semble in front of the hospital, many
of them being the wives, daughters
and r. lativcs of the dead and injured.
Thoir w. , ping and frantic cries for in
formation were heartrending. They
greatly interfered with the work of the
physicians and Dr. Ke< r, in charge of
of the hospital, determined to shut
them Load out
after load of wounded, blind
from the debris, and with limbs bro
ker, and maimed, were dumped at the
door Tli.-y had to remain outside
for some time, as the force and facili
ti.-Hof the hospital were unequal to

surgeons who were shortly reinforced
by the young men graduates of the
city, could do so, they examined and
,i r ,. Kg( .d the wounds and they were
t hen sent upstairs to more comfortable
,j, uir t<, rB .
Pi-jests and ministers were soon on
the spot, and being at once admitted
to the cots of the injured, where they
administered spiritual consolation.

'*1 fb<- most thrilling bcciich <» tho
wbuI( , affair was the sight of a dozen
who were left in the corner of the
third story, clambering down on a
hose pipe to the ground.
Between 10 o’clock and noon the
ainbnliiiices were kept busy ^eiirrying
away the dead and injured. 1 he faces
of many of tin* victim# wero cove red
with pieces of doth, an old coat,

Texas, returned a verdict Wednesday,
charging Rufus Bowen, Arvie Hous¬

Mr. Blount Hints That a Protectorate
Will he Established.
The latest advices from Honolulu
arc to the effect that the annexation
party of Hawaii hax-e settled it in theii
own minds that the United States is
going to establish a protectorate ovci
tho islands. Annexation, except ;u
something in the future, is not now
discussed, and the cry, “annexation 01
nothing,” is no longer heard. It is
reported that Minister Blonnt h»
dropped a hint that a protectorate is
the proper thing to look for. If tin
constant prof* st of the royalists are tc
be believed, they have no intention of
making a move until after the decision
of the United States is known.

A Peddlers Retort.
“Do you want to buy some pencils?”
asked a peddler of an old country
lady, who regards ageata and their kin
as a very pestilence. “No,” she an
swered sharply through a half closed
door. “Tape?” “No.”

Queer Japanese Animals.
The Japanese believe in the exist¬
ence of a crane which, after it has
reached the age of 600 years, has no
need of any sustenance except water.
Their mythical dragon has the head of
a camel, the horns of a deer, the eyes
of a demon, the ears of an ox, J.he
body of a serpent, tho scales of a fish
and the claws and wings of an eagle,

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet¬
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow¬
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble ?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul¬
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

The Care of Windows.
It is surprising that women do not
more often adopt the method used by
storekeepers for cleaning and polieh
* a g glass. I have tried it myself for
several months and found it especially
during cold weather, when it
would not be practicable to use water
outside. I use it both in and out.
Provide yourself with common alcohol
fl nd whiting *, mnke the cloth damp,
but not wet, with the liquid, then dip
it into the whiting. Rub the glass as
you would if using soap and water.
Polish with chamois. Windows cleaned
in this manner will shine aud sparkle,
and will keep clean much longer than
if done in the old laborious way of
rinsing and wiping and polishing.
In words we clothe our thoughts,
Eloquent, subtle, poetical or thrilling
as these may be, they are intangible
and invisible until arrayed in lan
guage.
