load* Prenared for War
Nxw York, Not. 15.—A Wrehing
ton special to the Herald **y*;
Instruction* have been given by
Secretary Long to official* of th* navy
yard 1 at Brooklyn prohibiting them
from commencing any new work on
the armoroaida in North Atlantic wat
er*. Repair* on them completed, it i*
expected that within ten day* Commo
dor* Philip will have under hi* com
mand an effective fore* consisting of
all th* baltleabipe and armored oral*,
•r* now in commimion except th*
lowa and Oregon, which ate now at
Bio Jan*ro. Thea* v*a**l* will be kept
along th* Brasilian coast for another
ten day* at least, and by that time the
authorities say th* policy of Spain in
respect to : negotiations will have final
ly developed.
Tb* armored cruiser* New York and
Brooklyn are in splendid condition j
tb«rbattle*bip Massachpeetl* will have
completed her repair* during the pres
ent week aod all construction work on
th* Indiana will also be completed
within that time. So far a* the Texas
is concerned, naval officer* say that a
■bort time only will be necejsary to
repair her propeller sleeve.
Just as soon a* art of the armorclads
are ready they will proceed to Hamp
ton Roads, where they will find the
New York awaiting them. Here the
vessels will remain pending such so
tion as may be necessary a* a result of
information received from Paris.

Think* War May Be Resumed-
Bam Francisco, JNov. 15.—Major
General Merriam is quoted as saying :
“It would not surprise me to see that
the negotiations between the -United
States and Spain have been broken off
If the work ofthe commission proves
fruitless it means a renewal *f tbe war.
"If Spain refuses to accede to our
demand* it will show that she baa se
cured substantial nope of assistance
or European intervention. Should
Germany take a baud in this matter
England will foßow suit, aod then I
took for France to put
the pie."
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely one healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If
th* liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach is disordered,
von have a dyspeptic look; if your
kidneys are affected, you have a pinch
ed look. Secure good health, and you
will surely have good looks. “Electric
Bitters” is a good Alterative and Ton
ic. Act* directly on the stomach, livftr
aod kidneys, purifies the blood, cures
pimple*, blotches and boils, and gives
good complexion. Every bottle guar
an teed. Bold at J-N. Harris & Son’s
and Carlisle & Ward’s drug store. 50
cents per bottle.
Aerial Railway*.
The scheme of an electric aerial rail
way, by which the passengers could be
■hot through the air at a high rate of
speed in a car suspended on an elevate
*d frame work, is at last, says the Bos
ton Transcript, about to be realised in
the German road between Elberfield
and Barmen, a distance of 8 miles.
Elevated electric lines have become
quite common during the pest three
years, but the idea of suspending the
oar from an overhead framework, in*
« stead of allowing it to run upon it is
radical and a construction not calcala.
J ted to inspire courage in the hearts of
timid traveler*, despite the fact that it
i* claimed to be quite as safe as th*
ordinary method of running cars on
elevated systems.
The higbt is considerably greater
than that of the ordinary elevated
road, as the bottoms of th* cars ar*
sigteen feet above the bridge* to be
crossed Each ear seats from 50 to
00 people, and is reached by mean* of
iron stairway* leading up to a plats
form.
These cars, as before stated, are
hung from two rails, the axles of th*
wheel* being supported on movable
trunnion*, which permit* of rapid
propulsion and yet ease in taking
curve*, g"
Twenty five miles an hour is th*
contemplated speed. Every possible
precaution has been taken to provide
automatic devices so that, should th*
car become disabled, no serious acci
dent* would follow. Double tracked
throughout it* length, the cost wil
run w*ll up into the million*.

i Uncle Sam How Own* Some in the
Hawaiian Islands. >
* Uncl* Bam has not been in th* habit
of owning much that I* heathen, but
r when he annexed Hawaii b* cam* in
f possession of eorne wonderful heathen
i temple*.
i The question now arises as to what
. will be done with them. Native Haw
i iians regard them a* rometime* much
more than historical landmarks, some
■ thing to link the past with the present
’ and for years the native kingdom bad
» appropriated money for their careful
1 preservation.
I Th* first mention in civilised rec-
L ord* of these building* appears t* have
r been about 1819. Travelers and mi*-
> sionarie* were beginning to enter the
i country aod the most striking objects
. were naturally-the immense piles of
stone, totally different from any other
I building* in the world.
; Al Ibis time Kamehamah* bad auc-
> ceeded in capturing and subduing lb*
. native* of the adjoining island* and
i their chief had been compelled to sc.
I knowledge his supreme authority a*
i King, and these people for th* first
l time in their history, were to be united
I under one government.
It took nearly forty years to acoom
i plisb this unity, but Kamebamaba was
> a man of iron, and well deserves the
i name be bears in Has aiian history,
“Tbs Oonqusrer."
During these year* of conquest and
bloodshed a great change was coming
over the most interesting people, and
the last acts ol heathenism, accompa
nied by horrible human sacrifices and
other abominable customs, were pass
ing away.
Os those limes there still remain in
perfect preservation, as relics of the
horrible past, the stone temple of “He*
iau*,’’which ta.mind the awful
stat* of things existing a century ago.
Os the most interesting of these
heathenish buildings, on* H* on the
island of Molokai. It was built some
centuries ago, and is considered one of
the oldest temples in the Hawaiian
group. Tbe older one, on the west
**Mte< Kona coast of Hawaif| is fib*
last one ever built, being erected a
little over a hundred yen** ago.
In 1791 Kamebamaha I, during his
ware of subjugation, to ebow his ven
eration of tbe gods, and to secure a
continence of their favor and strength
en bi* kingdom, engaged in building
a very large tempi* at Kawaihae for
the worship of Kaili, tbe god of war,
and for offering human and other
sacrifices. It wa* built on a hill called
Punbakoloa. While be was engaged
in erecting this temple, which wa*
consecrated with human blood, some
of his worriors were conquering the
southern part of Hawaii, where hi*
own relative, Keona, wa* jthen king.
Keona soon afterwar is became dis
heartened aod surrendered himself
and bis warriors in th* hope of r*c*iv
ing life and mercy. He, however,
with many of his lesser chiefs and men,
was slain and their bodies sacrificed
on the alter of tbe new temple.
This was tbe last human eacrifice
ever made on tbe Hawaiian Islands.
The victims ware exeopted in* tbe
presence of gamehamaba himself,
who stood at tbe door of th* bouse
within a stone incloeure to witness
the slaughter.
There are a few other Heiau* still in
excellent preservation, one of which is
, near Kobala, on Hawaii, and another
i at Kealekakea Bag, which i* said to
i have been used by Capt. Cook to re
pair bis sails —Bao Francisco Exami

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1,1 .
Workmen's AMideata-
Dr. Wolff, of Strasburg, probably
B one o' tbe best antboriti** in Germany
on workingmen’s accident*, ba* been
investigating some Interesting aod
important quMtiona. First, *n what
1 day of the week do Most accidents 00-1
1 eurf Second, at what boor of th*
1 dayl Dr. Wolff base* bi* Jgeneralisa
-1 lion* on 1,071 case* of accident* which
happened in bi* own dkuicl during
1897. Mondays and Fridays are tbe
days when most accident* occur, be
-1 cause, according to his *tate***nt, tb*
drinking shop* ar* most frequented
by workmen on the days previous,
! vis., Saturday*, Sunday* *od Thurs
day*. Fewer accident* happen on
Tuesday than on any other day of tbe
' w**k, because on no day are drinking
* bouse* so empty as on Monday.
With reference to the hours of tb*
’ day, Dr. Wolf states as an undoubted
’ fabt that tbe hours after breakfast,
' dinner and afternoon rest ar* thee*
r signalized by accident*. He attribute*
this to la**itud«, caused by tbe work
of digestion, and to tbe us* made by
' men of intoxicant* during th* meal
time.
He also esteblisbe*.the fact that in
1 factories where the meal hours are
’ greatly curtailed there is an excess of
accidents over tb* factories where the
men are more liberally treated in this
respect. If Dr. Wolff’s statistics can
I
be corroborated by extending these in
' vestigatlons to larger areas, temper
' ano* reformer* will be in possession of
another powerful argument —London

Poison Label Didn’t Stop Him*
“I have a darky janitor who attends
to my offices,’’ said a New Orleans
physician, according to tbe New Or
leans Timea-Democrat, “who is a jewel
:itb one flaw—he will drink whisky
herever he finds I*. T
of old rye in a cabinet for the benefit
of my friends and occasional medicinal
1 use, and for some tim* I was unaware
that it was being tapped. In fact, I
thought tbe liquor bad improved in
' flavor sod grown milder and more pals
ateble, but the change was really due
to tbe water the rascal was substitut
‘ ing for what b* stole. Well, I caught
' him at last red-handed and read him
tbe riot act,but it bed no effect. Final
ly I posted a big, red poison label on
1 the bottle and tbe effect wa* *o start
-1 ling that I wa* afraid to drink any ol
1 the stuff myself. Whether it bad th*
' same influence on tbe coon I don’t
know, but it certainly gave one of my
friends tbe scare of his life. He came
to tbe office dbout dusk a few days
ago, and feeling cold and tired, Went
' to the cabinet, where he knew whisky
' was kept, and helped bimself to a
1 drink. He had barely swallowed it
when be noticed the label, and bis bait
1 rose on his head.
“He surmised that it was a trifk to
* frighten tbe darky, but th* dreadful
' uncertainly remained and he rushed
1 out tb look me up. I was making
’ some calks and didn’t get word for up
ward of an hour. By that tim* •
1 whole delegation of friend* and phy
-1 sicians were on my trail and one W
r low was testing the liquor with aoids.
’ Tbe victim was completely prostrated
* but retained strength enough to give
* me a cussing when he ascertained
that he waau’t going to die. I threw
tbe bottle away aod am undecided
, whether to dispense with stimulants
. in my businem or gel a new janitor.”
