Ex-Queen Liliuokalani is in town. She arrived here last night from Washington, D. C., and will remain for several weeks at the California Hotel, where she occupies a suite of rooms facing on Bush street. She came accompanied only by her two body servants, 1. Heleluhe and his wife, native Hawailians ard former retainers the ro; household. Sam Parker, a wealthy Hawaiian coffee- planter, and an adviser of the ex-Queen, went up to Port Costa and there met his former sovereign and accompanied her to this City. Colonel George Mactariane, chamberlain to his late Majesty, King Kalakaua of Hawaii, met the party at the Qakland mole, where a closed carriage was in waiting. 3 ilinokalani declined o’ be seen or in- terviewed either on the train orat tue hotel, and she retired early.

Mayor Phelan Says That Consideration of the Mission Park Should Not Be Pressed. To Mrs. J. R. Martin, Chairman of the Commitiee on Mission Park of the California State Floral Sociely—DEAR MaDAM: In reply to your favor of August 9, in which you say as chairman of the committee of the California State Floral Society on Mission Park that your committee is not disposed to press a consideration of that matter at this time, believing that there is more important work for the City to do with the proceeds of the tax levy, and soliciting my opinion, 1 desire to say : That the proposed site for the park is not in the Mission at all. It therefore cannot be called a Mission Park. The Mission is entitled to consideration in the matter of parks and squares, and they should be acquired at reasonable prices by the issuance of forty-year bonds. That on account of the pledges made by the Mayor and the Supervisors to keep down the tax levy, this, as you wisely conclude, is an inopportune time to press the consid- eration of the purchase of a Mission Park by the Board of Supervisors, and I will reserve my judgment in the matter until 1 have an opportunity to confer with that body. Re- spectfully, J. D. PHELAN, Mayor.

He said last night that if he remembered rightly he stood in a room when the alarm was givan for the escape of the prisoner. The young lady who was in the role of the sharp-hooter's sweetheart did not make the appeal to him as he was about to shoot. “We were standing in the room together,” said Mr. Osbourne, ‘‘when the alarm was given. My sweetheart stood between me and the win- dow, and when I brougnt ithe gun to mv shoulder to fire she raised her hand in muie sppeal.

The escaping man was her sweetheart, and she made the appeal to save him from the rileman’s Lullet. In the *Dandy Fifth” the girl was the sharpshooter’s sweetheart, and he thought it queer that she shoula make the startling anncuncement that the rfle- man was aiming at her heart when she was shooting ata man she did not know or have any interest in . A werm friend of Belasco who had seen the ‘“Dandy rifth’” when it was first played was positive that the little < caild made the appeal to the €. riffeman in these words, € “Don't shoot my papa.” He alsoremarked that Mr. Gassa- way bad borrowed the eftect of the galloping horses as well as several other stage effects. There is po likelihood that the controversy will end soon, as both playwrights are confident that the other fellow has been guiity of plagiarism. AP0 SN AN R N N A Turned Loose.

They always were in some way the result of a disturbed stomach. She would have them sometimes more than once a week, and then she might go several weeks without having one. Generally an attack would only spoil one day, but sometimes she would be sick for two or three days. When she learned about Ripans Tabules, she found that they always relieved her decidedly, and her attacks are now much less frequent than they used to be. She continues to make use of the Tabules when occasion arises, but she says that now one or two will not produce the effect they did in the beginning. She keeps a supply of them in the house all the time, and I believe if she would take them according to directions, they would cure her entirely. You know her life is that of a farmer’s wife. I suppose her experience is that of thousands of others who stay pretty closely at home and de- end for food mainly upon those things which the farm produces. nder such conditions the stomach will get upset now and then unless _precautions are taken to avoid it. Ripans Tabules are precautions.
