The spirit among foreign and native people now is to join { together in the celebration and the prob- | abilities are that the day will mark the time when most of the old score will be | wiped out. . | The programme will begin at 10 o'clock | at the platform in front of the execu- 1 tive building. At this time the First Reg- {fment, N. G. H., and a detail from Camp | McKinley will be drawn up in front. | Seated with the Governor will be the members of the retiring Cabinet, new pofficials and Justiees of the Supreme [Court. On the platforms at either hand | will be other government and consular | officials and special guests.

Brown, High Sheriff of the | Territory of Hawaii. Fred J. Lowrey, Treasurer. J. A. McCandless, Superintendent of Public Warks. A. T. Atkinson, Superintendent Publie Instruction. These appointments by Governor Dole were announced in his speech to the po- lice this morning by the retiring Attor- ney ,General, the Secretary of the Ter- | ritory, H. E. Cooper. i President Dole stated this afternoon | | that he would probably not be able to | announce all his appointments at the | time of hig own inauguration to-morrow. | He hopes tbat during to-morrow some of | the names may be given out. | A meeting of the Cabinet is being held this afternoon at which the matter is be- | ing further discussed. As there is a great | deal of business to be disposed of before the republic céases to be another session | will probably be held to-night. W. F. Frear, who becomes Chief Jus-| ice, and A. Perry, who is appointed first | | assoelate, are both too well known to | need introduction. The former has_ been | on the Supreme beneh since 1893. Judge | Perry was Police Judge in 1885, whence | he advanced to the Circuit bench. Judge Hardy of Kauai and Judge Kalua of Maui are continued In their respective offices. C. A. Galbraith of Hilo, the new Asso- | clate Justice, is forty years of age, having | been born in_Bartholomew county, Indl | ana, in 1860. He is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Michigan, and while there was a classmate of J. A. Magoon of Honolulu. }In 18% he was admitted to practice law |in Texas. Between the years 1589 and 168 he was in Oklahoma, and served four years as Attorney General of that Terri- tory. To the islands he brought some of | | the best letters from the Bupgeme Court | and other Okiahoma officlals. #He was ad- mitted to practice law here in April, 1895. A. 8. Humphreys, who, becomes a Cir- | cuit Judge of the First Clreuit, was born | at Columbus, Miss., Japuary 16, 1868, and is therefore 32 yeats of age. He gradu- | ated at Columbus Ubiversity and January | , 1389, was admitted to practice law be- | fore the SBupreme Court of Mississippl. In 18% he was admitted to the bar of the Unitea States. August 7 of the same year | he wis admjtted to the bar of Arizona, was Asgistant Attorney General and | special judge in that Territory. He was | admitted in September, 1885, to practice | aw in Hawali. aniel Silliman, the other local , is 28 years of age, and was torn at Hudson, Wis. He graduated from Michigan University, and in 18% was ud- mittea to practice law in the courts in | Minnesota. There he remained three | nd was admitted in February, 183, | ce law in Hawail. He was first | a partner with J. A. Magoon, but subse- yuently opened an office of his own. William Seabrook Edings came here in 1594 from Washington, where he had been s cing law seven years. He was birn at Charleston, S. C., and is the son, of the late Colenel Edings, staff officer of Gen- | eral Beauregard, who was a personal friend of Judge A. 8. Hartwell, Colonel Gilbert Francis Little arrived heic in the summer of 1885 from Seattle. He had practiced a number. of years in | Indiana and Washington. Shortly after being admitted to the Hawailan bar Col- onel Iittle went to Hilo, where he has since resided. Colonel Little will be Judge of the Fourth Circult, which is the west gide of Hawail, | “Judge Jacob Hardy has for many years been a resident of Kauai, and judge of that circuit., He is recognized as a learned Jurist. | ""The 1ast day at the customs department of the republic of Hawali was a very busy one. Among the officers the greatest interest centered in the appointments of officers to be sworn In as Federal offi- cers to-morrow. After to-night Collector | General Stackable becomes a United | States Federal officer, and he will swear in the others of the bureau. Up to mid- | night the Hawaiian Custom-house will | remain open for business. On the stroke of twelve 1t will cease to exist and there- after Stackable’s accountings will be with Uncle Sam. Under the American system there will be @ good deal of difference in the way of handling the business, both on the out- side and in the upstairs office. The out- side work will be greatly reduced in one Tespect, as the Custom-house will not have t6 keep track of American yessels. The boarding officers’ will not have to go out to meet and get papers of ships with the American flag, and the elaborate sys. tem of discharging them and: collgcting duties from them will be unnecessary. American vessels do by far the greater part of the busincss here, so that the number of arrivals in which the Custom- house will be speclally interested will be cut down. This week has been a very slow one for arrivals of forelgn vessels. The regalar mail stcamers have brought slightly larger cargoes than usual, getting in freight from the Orient that will be sub- ject to duty hereafter. The outside work will bé under George | Stratemever as superiutendent, perform- | ing about the same dvties as he has had while Port Surveyor, the port not having been granted a Port Surveyor as a Wash- ington appointment. Colléctor Stackable and the advisory officers from Washing- ton, with the Fort Surveyor, have heen busy for a day or two making plans for the organization of the force under the new system, There will be a lot of changes and some of the officers may have a_howl to make about reduced sala- ries. “The district inspector system goes out and the force of discharging inspect- ors, as well as of guards, 18 to be reduced. There will be twelve inspeetors, all of the same rank, and twelve guards in the new force. The salaries in both cases are to be slightly in advance over the present pay. The in tors get $350 a day and the guards $2 75. The inspectors have been etting $100 a month and phe. rds ‘here are nine inspectors and t thirty guards on duty now, so number will not find places under the new sched- ule.

COVELO, June 20.—James .Allen Shore, the oldest ploneer in this section, , died That He Will Accept Amnesty. President McKinley’s Order on the Subject, It Is Thought, Will Be Productive of Results. e MANILA, June 20.—General MacArthur will to-morrow formally announce Presi- dent McKinley's order of amnesty. Buen- camino, Paterno and other prominent Filipino leaders are generally pleased, as they believe that under the amnesty they can bring about the surrender of Aguin- aldo, who they declare 1s' ready and will- ing to consider the peace platform adopted by the Filipino leaders, with a few in- significant exceptions. Several meetings of the leaders were held quietly In Manila last week. They are encouraged by the progress they are making with the natives and the authori- ties here. To-morrow an important meet- ing will be held, at which the American decree will be read. It is the consensus of opinion of the foreigners, the better class of the Filipinos and the Spaniards that Aguinaldo will appear in Manila shortly as a result of the decree and the ne‘fiouauons of Buencamino. Now that the rains have fairly begun life in the country districts is a great and prolonged bardship. 5 Preparations are belng made at Cavite to move a majority of the marines to China in the event that events there re- quire them. WASHINGTON, June 20.—A cable mes- sage from General MacArthur says the ;ranspu!‘t Flintshire arrived at Manila to- ay. PRESIDENT CONFIDENT FILIPINOS WILL SUBMIT WASHINGTON, June 20.—Secretary Root said to-night that the text of the amnesty proclamation would be published to-morrow in Manila “and Washington simultaneously. It will be issued by Gen- eral MacArthur and is done by direction of the President. The proclamation gives a free pardon to all Filipinos who have | participated in the rebellion against the United States, the only condition being. that they take the oath of alleglance and acknowledge the sovereignty of the United States. It excludes no one, except those who have violated the laws of war. The proclamation, the Secretary said, will speak for itself and will go into effect im- mediately. The time, considering the fa- cilities for communication in the islands, for the acceptance of the amnesty pro- clamation by those still In rebelilon is limited, being only thirty or sixty days. The proclamation is very brief and is plain and simple, its terms not comprising more than can be put on a single Shect o writing. Y] 'he issuance of the amnesty proclama- tion will mark a distinct advance in the progress of the arms of the United States in the restoration of order in the Philip- pines. The situation has been steadily im- proving in those islands for some time past and it is thought that the time is op- portune for pardon of all those Filipinos who have borne arms against theyauthor- ity of the United States and have not used their hostility as a mere cloak for the commission of robbery, murder and other It is confldently believed that the result of the proclamation will be quite a general submission by those Filipino leaders who have not yet T:Ven in their adhesion to the control of the islands by the United States. The promulgation of amnesty has been under consideration for some months, and the decision to issue it at this time was reached only after advices from a number of sources that the time was ripe and that assurances had been received that it would meet with a worthy respanse from those to whom it was addressed. It has been made known to the admin- istration that the influential classes among the Eilipinos were anxious for an end of hostilities and for a resumption of commerce free from the predatory ha- rassments of small bands of armed men. The vigor of the pursult of those bearing arms, It was likewise reported, had dis- heattened the Filipino soldiers still heid- ing out and many of them were now will- ing to surrender their arms on assurances of their personal safety. In addition, a better understanding of the purpose of the United States toward them is now known to prevall among the Filipinos ana their hostility to American control has abated in a great degree. With the gen- eral acceptance of amnesty it i3 expected our troops will not be kept in sich cease. less activity and the Jmclficauon of the islands will go forward more quietly and Cavalry for Manila. more rapidly.

BUTTE, Mont., June 20.—There will be contesting delegations claiming admission from Montana at the Democratic Na- tional Convention in Kansas City. The convention was called to meet here at noon. An hour before that time the State Central Committee met to make arrange- ments, The chairman of the committee, Willlam Cockrill, is recognized as a Daly man. The friends of Senator .Clark on the committee, including those who held proxies, were in the majority. Chairman Cockrill refused to recognize the proxies and appointed in the places of the ab- ;Je;l]leeh men known to be favorable to T8 John 8, M. Neill of Helena, a member of the committee, took the floor and pro- posed to depose the chairman. The scene in the room at this time was very wila. A number of Deputy Sheriffs under the, lpndershlg of Under Sheriff Murphy pushed their way into the room and at- tempted to eject the Clark feuple. For a while it looked like an incipient riot. The Clark people stood their ground and final- ly withdrew, leaving the committee to at- tend to its business. When this had been done, Chairman Cockrill was deposed by the Vote of the committee and Nefll was elected In his place. Meantime the dele- gates and hundreds of speetators had as- sembled at the auditorfum which Cockrill had selected as the place of the meeting. They found the doors barred and -the place in charge of a number of deputies | and policemen, acting under the diree. tion of the Daly people. After wu(lns vainly for an hour, they were informe that the convention would not be callea to order until 5 o'clock. Before that time | the State Central Committee had met, with {ts new chairman presiding, and hud; selected the Grand Opera-house as the | regular place of meeting for the conven- | tion. The convention was called to ordex there shortly after 5 o’clock and the Hon. | E. C. Day, one of the men who voted for | Clark, made temporary chairman. He | made” a short speech, stating that ti that he had seen In Montana for years. After the appointment of the usual com- mittees, the convention adjourned unt o'clock 'to-morrow. The Daly people, representing nine counties—three of them regular and the | others contested—met {n the auditorium | at the same hour, 5 o'clock. Admission | was by ticket. State Senator H. L. My- ers of Ravalli, one of the Democratic members who voted against Clark in the Leglislature, was made tempurnr{ chair- man. After the appointment of the usual committees, the convention adjourned un- til 8 o'clock to-night. The Daly Democratic convention this evening elected Martin Msgnnll, William Cockrill, Governor Robert B. Smith, Paul A. Fusz, W. S. Hartman and Dr. J. M. Fox delegates to the national convention. The platform denounces “in unmeas- ured terms the action of W. A. Clark of Butte in corrupting the late Legislature, in assailing the Integrity of the Supreme Court and attempting to debauch the people of the entire commonwealth as the colossal crime of the century.” Senator Clark’s resignation after the re- port of the Senate Committee and his ap. pointment by the acting Governor is de- frm:e to the State, a shame to the American nation and an in. sult to the Senate.” DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES INSTRUCTED FOR TOWNE MINNEAPOLIS, June 20.—The Demo- cratic State Conventlon to-day was one of the largest and most harmonious held by the party in this State for years. Charles’ A. Towne of Duluth, Populist candidate for Vice President, was given the hearticst kind of an indorsement and the delegates to Kansas City were in- structed to support him by thelr votes and by every licnorable means. On the floor of the convention this resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote. The platform reaffirms its devotion ta the coining of free silver at “existing legal ratio.”” On this plank there was some dissension in committee, one or two mem- bers suggesting it might be better not to have a financial plank. The resolutions further declare against trusts and demand that trust articles be placed upon the free list; sympathy is expressed for the Boers; the independence of Cuba is demanded. The resolutions demand the repeal of war taxes; favor postal savings banks; favor the income tax: the election of "United States Senators by direct vote of the peo. ple and the system of the initlative and referendum. The present national admin- istration is denounced. The convention was warm in its alleglance to Willlam J. Bryan and Governor John Lind The following delegates at lu%n ‘were selected: P. B. Winston, T. B. O'Brien, L. O. Rosing and C. A. Baldwin.

Sir Isaac Newton, for instance, was proud to number a water clock among his boyish inventions. All these early contrivances were classed under the general name of horologia, although many seem to have been more properly plane- | taria, recording the courses of other hea- | venly bodies than the sun. | The word ‘‘clock™ means, primarily, “a bell,” and 1t is not improbable that the “orologia” of Dante and “abbey clock’ of Chaucer were but hand rung bells sound- | ing the hour indicated by sand glass or | sun dial. | Judged by modérn standards the earliest | clock worthy of the name was made in the | fourteenth century by the monk, Light-| foot. . Strangely enough, these first clocks were distinguished by a far more compli- | Cated mechanism tham were those of a | few centuries later. They not only re- corded the flight of time, but were mar- fonette exhibitions whose little figures acted popular allegories, the mysteries of death, the nativity and adoration of the Magl, and announced the hours by cock crowings, desrpndlng doves and animal processions, which disappeared simultan- eously upon the stroke of the hour bell. The famous clocks of Strasburg cathe- dral, with the frequently described suc- cession of apostles and minor figures, are the most noteworthy instances of horo- logical automata and are too well known to need special comment. Their counter- parts on a less elaborate scale were set up at Paris, Caen and Padua.

HISTORIC STUDIES IN HOME FURNISHING clocke.” \In the inventory of the Virgin Queen’s possessions may be found curious records Of great numbers of these in- genious timepieces, conspicuous for their cases of crystal, tortoiseshell or carnelia enameled in rich colors or bristling wi diamonds; with fine whale-pearl pendants hanging from the bottom of the case. In striking contrast to these luxurfous bits of mechanism were the Memento Mor{ timepieces, grewsome little affairs, where- with the makers strove to Impress the frivolous with time’s role as admonisher of the approach of death. Not content with )hFenduy warnings elearly engraved or case, the clockmakers taxed on dia their ingenuity in order to make time- pleces in the shape of skulls, coffins, cru- cifixes and skeletons. One of the most famous of these death’s-head watches was iven by Mary Queen of Scots to one of er maids of honor, Mary Seaton, ome of the famous “Four Marys.” Death, with his scythe and hourglass, stands on the forehead of the skull, one foot pointing to a cottage, the other to a palace, thus fl- lustrating the adage from Horace in which the picture is inclosed: allida_ mors aequo pulsat pede pauperum tabernas regumque turres.” (“Pale death visits with impartial foot the cottages poor and the fsh es of the rich. upper part of this ghastiy reminder 18 dividedy Into two compartments, in which are portrayed the fall of man, the nativity and the erucifixion, with appropriate Latin quotations. The works form the brains of this mental cranfum, the dial the roof of the mouth and a bell which is struck by a hammer fills the entire lower hollow of the skull. The metal openwork compart- ment through which the sound is emitted is, curlously emough, formed of emblems of the cruclfixion—‘“scourges of various kinds, swords and flagon and cup of the lantern used eucharist, the cross, pincers, in the garden, spears of vars with the sponge on its point, t der, the coat without seam that were thrown for It, the hammer and nails and the crown of thorns.” There is no date to this singular invention, only the name of Moyse, the wizard watch- maker of Blois, whose signature was al- ways a guaranty of exquisite workman- ship and remarkably fine Pngmvinx. From the fact that this rellc weighs three-quar- ters of a pound, too heavy for wearing upon the person, it is inferred that these death’s head watches, frequently orn: mented with a cross, were hung from a e e e 1 PAPIRNA A 3 RS e g 0‘*‘ B e S L o oL o EARLY LATIN CROSS WATCH. ¢ * ® + prig-dieu in_an individual nrnto?. Memento Mori watches in the form of a Latin cross were also frequently stationed upon a praying desk, the less clumsy ones to the person and known as pectoral cross watches. These cruci- form watches were generally incased in rock crystal, the dials beautifully en- graved with scenes from tge life and pas- sion of Christ. Those in the form of a Maltese cross, also of Fredch origin, were probably much earlier and rarer than the one represented, which was usually heavy and so contrived as to have not less than ° i + ; | ten hinged covers. Note—This study will be concluded om Thursday n LESSONS IN THE LIFE OF A GREAT CATHOLIC Henry Austin Adams, the lecturer, in- terested and charmed another San Fran. cisco audience last night at St. Paul Hall. The speaker chose for his subject the character and influence of Sir Thomas More and it is needless to say that he discussed his theme with that ability which has marked his other addresses in this eity. The lecture was given in ald of the building fund of St. Paul's Church and the presence of hundreds of people who crowded the hall was evidence that the financial returns were substantial Rev. Father Connolly, the pastdr of St. . Paul's, is determined that a new church shall grace the parish, and last night he had the satisfaction of knowing that many dollars had been added to the fund, Preliminary to the addrcss of the even- ing the boys and girls of the parish gave several vocal selections ard well deserved the applause they received. Mr. Adams sought_in his characterization of the great English ‘Catholic to draw for his hearers lessons which they may apply to the conduct of their daily lives. o speaker pictured More in his various as- pects as politieian, statesman, lawyer and citizen. More, he said, was a_man of the ople, a splendid model for the Catholie P:ymen‘ a man who suffered martyrdom for the thought of duty that was in him and left to humankind the superb exam- ple of a life well lived and a reward weil won in_the consclousness of duty well done. The lecture was eloquent through- out and won the tribute of frequent ap~ plause. i s % ? a. ! k | 2 aF Pg.. i BEs i} i g = = =
