might be he'd indefinitely by

of their patriotic leagues,

ratification of a certain treaty which,
so I am informed, has been signed at
Washington by Messrs. Thurston and
Kinney, purporting to cede those is-
lands to the territory and .... dominion of
the United Htatcs. I declare such it tren
ty to be an act of wrong toward the
native and jinrnative people of Hawaii,
and an invasion of the right* of tho
ruling chiefs, in violation of interna-
, toward . people
I lonn I ilglits, both Iny
nnd toward friendly nations, with
whom they have made treaties, the
perpetuation of the fraud whereby tho
constitutional government was over¬
thrown nnd finally an act of gross in¬
justice to me:
Because thu official protests made
hymn on the 17th day of January,
1893, to the so-called provisional gov
eminent wns signed by me nnd ari
received by said government with the
assuinnee that the ease was referred
to the United Stales of America for
arbitration:

pressly declared that I yielded my an
thority to the forces of the United
Htnt.es in order to avoid bloodshed and
because I recognized the futility of a
conflict with so formidable a power.
1 'Urcnnse the president of the I Ini ted
States,the secretary of state nnd nnen-
voy commissioned by them reported,
official documents, that my govern¬
ment was unlawfully coerced by the
forces, diplomatic and naval, of the
United .States, that I was at tho date
of their investigations, the constitu¬
tional ruler of my people.
Because said treaty ignores not only
all professions of perpetual amity and
good faith made by the United States
in former treaties with tho sovereigns
representing the Hawniiu people, hut
all treaties made by those.sovereigns
with other and friendly powers,umd it
is thereby ill violation of international
law.
The protest closes ns follows:
“Therefore I, Lilionknlnni of Haw aii,
do hereby call upon the president of
tlmt nation to whom alone I yielded
mv property and my authority to w ith-
dtnw said treaty (ceding said islands)
from further consideration. I ask the
honorable senate of the United States
to decline to ratify said treaty and im¬
plore the people of this great ami good

SHORT ON MELONS.
Only OnO'Tlilrd of a Crop In Gfiorgla—A
Yiljff I.o*i.
The Georgia watermelon will not be
as much in evidence as usual this
year. The assistant general passenger
agent of tho Southern Railway, has
received from agents throughout tho
melon belt reports indicating that tho
... , fts»
loads, and it is given out that this
Bi"* W ‘ U Dot « ceed *•<**
' riliH " ir ' , * nR a l'*» of about S300,000
in *•«'«„„« to the railroads and about
the aarne aroont to the melon growera.
Tim shortage in the peach crop is
even greater. Presiden Cunningham,
of the Georgia Horticultural associa-
tion and a largo fruit grower,estimates
the peach crop of the state at 20 per
cent of an average. The peach crop is
usually worth to the railroad about
$00,000, but the greater part of this
revenue will he lost this year.
The loss to the railroads and the
growers of fruit and melons will be
about $800,000 on account of short
crops. five
Tho melon business years ago
amounted to 8,000 carloads from tho
state. Nearly every farmer in South
Georgia grow melons for tho market
and the acreage ran up to very large
proportions. It was soon found that
the supply exceeded the demand in
some markets while it fell short in
others. The perishable nature of tho
crop made it, impossible to protect the
shipper when tho fruit reaches a city
where tho market was glutted.
To meet this difficulty a melon
growers association was organized,
and for one sonson most of the melons
grown in tho state were marketed
through that agency. This helped tho
growers, but it broke the agency.
Finally a system was devised by which
telegrams reporting the price and siij )~
ply in each of the principal markets
were posted nt tho railway stations
from which melons were shipped.
This aided greatly in distributing
shipments, and reduced to a minimum
the tendency to overstock certain mar¬
kets. Nevertheless, when the crop was
large, or the weather cool, prices wore
low nnd unsatisfactory. This tended
to check tho increase of the melon
crop, and the rascality of an irre¬
sponsible class of commission men
who managed to secure consignments
caused the growers to lose heavily.
While there were many good commis¬
sion houses in tho business, there were
unfortunately a great many who took
advantage of the perishable nature of
the fruit to squeeze tho shipper.
AlUhesn influences combined have
curtailed the crop during the past few
hinds <0 h^iliont* al,ont 1 fi*000*^Tliis ,,>0 J l,i8 y, v'.^r ftr ^le t,ie
small yield has cut this down to 2,000
about, olio-fourth tho number formerly
raised in Georgia.
It is probable that the small crop in
the state vvill increase the price, for
almost the whole marketable melon
crop comes from Georgia.

the aims and purposes of the co-oper¬

Mr. Debs said that in setting up
co-operative commonwealth in Wash-

ning against the supreme court. He
would consult good lawyers and learn

were.

THE PETITION WITHDRAWN.
Macon’* Agalnat the Railroad! Will
Now Go To tho Court*.
Tho Macon petition against railroad
consolidation in Georgia has been
withdrawn by the attorneys who filed
it with Governor Atkinson.
The question involved was such a
large one thnt the governor was look¬
ing into it thoroughly, and he had an¬
nounced that he would give a decision
at an early day. In making his investi-
- proceeded

just as he would had he been consider-

from the attorneys who represented
the Macon petitioners and also heard
what the railroads had to say on their
side of the case. 1 here was no formal
bearing or argument, however, but in-
formal talks.
It is thought around the capitol
that the governor was not disposed to
direct the attorney general to institute
such a sweeping suit ngainst the roads
as wns contemplated by tho petition-
ers, but was more inclined to let the
investigation proceed, if at all, ngainst
only one road. This would have in-
volved less indirect material results,
lmt the principle would have been tho
same in the end. That is, if it were
shown that the Southern held one
rnilroad in violation of the constitu¬
tion, it would probably have followed
that it held others, but if it ilid not
control tho Central or the Georgia
.Southern and Florida or some other
one road illegally, it probably held
none in the state unconstitutionally.
This, it is understood, did not meet
the wish of the attorneys for the peti-
tinners, and they withdrew their peti-

In dressing the carcass of an ele-
phant the rough outer skin is first re-
moved in large sheets. Beneath this
is a sub-cuticle—a pliable membrane,
from which the natives make water¬
skins. The rib bones are cut out
stewed, but all the other bones are de¬
stroyed.
The most delicate part, very
ly, is the first joint of the leg below
the knee, which one would suppose
he the toughest portion of the animal.
This joint is cooked by being buried
in a hole in the ground, a huge fire
over the top supplying the heat.—

THE HEAT PLAGUE OF AUGUST, 1896.
Mrs. Pinkham's Explanation of tho Unusual Number of Deaths anti
Prostrations Among Women.
The great neat plague of August, 1896, was not without its . yjW.
lesson. One could not fail to notice in the long lists of -OT.jSir .■
the dead throughout this country, that so many of £ m
the victims between were forty-five women in and their fifty. thirties, and Gg , t .S'
women < Vv
The xvomen who succumbed to tho pro- / , jg . >r.x
tracted heat were women whose energies j ' - YSS
were exhausted by sufferings peculiar to II
their sex; women who, taking no thought ^ rj>. /
of themselves, or who, attaching no im-
portance to first symptoms, allowed their tki
female system to become run down. m
Constipation, capricious appetite, restlessness, .1
forebodings of evil, vertigo, languor, and weak¬ 9
ness, especially in the morning, an itching
sensation which suddenly attacks one at /S i£ I
night, or whenever the blood becomes •(>
overheated, are all warnings. Don’t wait fMm
too long to build up your strength, that
is now a positive necessity! Lydia E. 7.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has spe¬
cific curative powers. You cannot do better
than to commence a course of this grand medicine. By the neglect
of first symptoms you will see by the following letter what terrible suffering
came to Mrs. Craig, and how she was cured :
“ I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com¬
pound and think it is the best medicine for women in
the world. I was so weak and nervous that I thought
/ I could not live from one day to the next. 1 had pro-
F a P sus uteri and leucorrhrea and thought I was go-
ing into consumption. 1 would get so faint I thought
Y I would die. I had dragging pains in my back, burn-
ing sensation down to my feet, and so many miserable
