THE FAVORITE‘HOME PAPER. Independent 11 in things : lltllllal in naming.

It is not martial law in the strict sense of the term, but the next thing to it, so far as martial law can be ad- ministered by a police department, to which the city of Chicago will be sub- jected hereafter, or until the necessity ceases, between the hours of 1 and 6 o’clock in the morning. Every person who is found on the streets at that time of night Will be re- quired to give a satisfactory account of himself, excepting in localities where any well- established all-night business is carriel on. That such heroic mess. ures have to' be resorted to is sugges_ tive of a bad state of affairs in the “Windy City” requiring extraordinary vigilance on the part of- the police. There have been so many burglaries and acts of violence committed there of late that unless the dangerous classes arc-by some means headed off, intimi- dated Or driven out of town, the public safety Will be put in serious jeopardy. The large number of . unemployed people in Chicago, the increasing in- centives to crime growing out of a want of subsistence, the influx of thieves and other criminals of various degrees during the Exposition who were strand- ed by the closing of the Fair, all com- bine to aggravate the unpleasantness of the situation ; and the authorities,by the adoption of harsh methods of re- preSsion, will undoubtedly be support- ed by the better elements of the com- munity. It may not be agreeable to the average good‘citiztn to be halted on his way home at a late hour in the morning by a policeman in citizen’s clothes and be put through a sort of civil service examination, but the end in view seems to warrant the necessity, and nobody who is caught out on legit-i- ' mate business should complain of a hardship that is imposed for the gener- al protection. ' Q. So Far, So Good. The Australia has arrived from Hono- lulu with advices to November 11. The news that was expected to convulsc the country did not come by this steamer. From present indications it is not likely to come by the next or the next. Min- ister Willis presented his credentials on the 6th instant with a mild-mannered address in which he expressed the hope that the honor, happiness, and prosperity of both governments might be promot- ed and perpetuated. He was received courteously but in a quiet, matter of fact way. There was no excitement . There was no ado about it. He' was evidently not looked upon as coming on an errand of monar- chical restoration. If he had Judge Gresham’s letter of October 18 any- where about his clothes he did not pro- duce it. He did have with him, however, an autograph letter from Mr. Cleveland,in which the latter says he knows Mr. Wil» lis well and has entire confidence that he will constantly endeavor to advance the interests of the two countries and “render himself acceptable to your ex- . cellency,” meaning the president of the provisional government. It is certainly the unexpected that has happened this time, says the Washing- ton Post. There was a very general im- pression among our people, based upon the declarations of the Secretary of State and the policy 'outlined therein, that the first business of Minister "Willis would be to announce that the restora- tion of the queen was now in order; that it was the desire and purpose of this government to undo the great wrong that has been-done the sable monarch; that the provisional government though ' duly recognized by leading foreign powers, including our own, was “ no good” and must give way to sentiment- al considerations of justice; that if this obj ect could not be accomplished peace- ably it should be accomplished other- Wise. _ There were many people also who had been led to believe that such an ac- complishment could only be effected by force; that the prov1sional govern- , ment would resist such an invasiOn of its acknowledged rights and powers to the last extremity; that the streets of Honolulu would run with blood, and that the deposed Queen would herself be the first victim of the popular wrath. All this and other horrible things were looked for by the good steamer Austra- lia, but fortunately she brought no such budget of calamity. It is very clear now, nothwithstandmg .Dole. a certain veil of mystery that still hangs about the Whole business, that the purveyors of our reCent Hawaiian news and custodians of the secrets of the State Department knew much less concerning the real intentions of the administration than the administration now knows of the public feeling which has been aroused in this country ad- verse to its alleged policy of retrogres- sion, and of the popular condemnation with which any attempt on its part to reseat Liliuokalani upon her throne would be inexorably visited. As to what may happen there is no means of knowing. All that we do know at the present time is that Minis- ter Willis is hobnobbing with Pres1dent If he has been charged with in- structions to negotiate the provisional government out of existence by force and arms, employing the flag of the United States and the guns of its Navy to effectuate this ignoble scheme, we shall find out in due time. , Let us rather hope, as we may rea- sonably believe, that if the administra- tion has ever seriously entertained this purpose, it has permanently reconsid- ered it; that the government is not to be dishonored ; that American senti- ment is not to be ruthlessly defied; that a way is to be found out Of the difficul- ty which shall redound to the credit of the United States and leave the people of Hawaii, if they are not to cast their lot with our own people, free at least to choose for themselves by whom and in what way their government shall be administered.

Frank Aqueno, an Italian who keeps a store on Wilton avenue, was arrested Sunday evening on the charge of hav- ing stabbed in the fleshy part of the leg a lad named Hyatt. Together With some other lads, Isaac Mason, Andrew Peterson and Thomas and Edward Mc- Mahon, young Hyatt was standing in front of Aqueno’s store. The latter asked the boys what they wanted, to which question it is alleged, the Hyatt boy gave a saucy answer, whereupon Aqueno made a lunge for him with some sort of a weapon, believed to have been a stilleto. ’ A preliminary hearing was held before Justice Honnecker, this morn- ing, at which Dr. Baldwin, testified as to the nature of the wound and he stat- ed that he had probed it and found itzto be about three-quarters of an inch in depth, and did not consider it a danger- ous wound. Attorney Gregory ap- peared fer the defense and Attorney Walsh for the prosecution. At the re- quest of the attorney for the defense the case was continued until next Wed- nesday morning, at 10 o’clock, before Justice Honnecker. The prisoner was placed under $500 bonds. USE DANA’S SABSAPAIALLAJT-‘S ‘THE KIND THA'I cones." - Catarrh. not Local, But Constltu— tional. Dr. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physician, in a magazine article says : “A radical error underlies nearly all medical treatment of catarrh. 'It is not a disease of the man’s nose ; it is a ' disease of the man, showing itself in the nose—a Local exhibition of a Con- stitutional trouble.” Therefore, he ar- gues, the use_of snnfi and other local applications is wrong, and while they seem to give temporary relief, they really do more harm than good. Other leading authorities agree with Dr. Lew- is. Hence, the only proper method of cure for catarrh is by taking a constitu- tional remedy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, reaching every part of the body through the blood, does eliminate all impurities and makes r-the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores thoriiseased mem- brane to proper condition. -' That this' is the practical. result is proven by thousands of people who have been cured of catarrh by taking Hood’s 39:1: «patina.

Robert Grant, in “The Opinions of a Philosopher,” gives 'a telling instance of the manner in which a prudent man may disappoint his Wife. The philoso- pher in question fancied he heard a burglar and hastened to the bolted ' chamber door to listen and confirm his convictions. His wife was aroused and asked hoarsely what was the matter. . “Fred, are there burglars in the house?” she gasped. “Sh! YES.” “What are you doing, Fred? Oh, you mustn’t go down and expose yourself on any account! Promise me that you will not!” . Having ascertained that the door was secure, I walked across the room and turned on the electric ’ light. Josephine was sitting -bolt upright, quivering with excitement. I slipped on my trousers and a pair of boots, and began ;took around me, trampling sturdily. ~ “Fred, they’ll hear you if you make such a. noise.” said my wife in an ago nized whisper. ' - “I fervently trust so,” I retorted. “That’s why I’m doing it.” As I spoke my eye lit at last on some. thing adapted to my purpose. I had been trying to avoid the destruction of a. washbasin, and I received with grate- ful eagerness a pair of Indian clubs which offered themselves, and lifting them to the level of my brow let them fall clamorously to the floor. The wclkin rang, so to speak, and I sank , with nervous exhaustion into an arm~ chair. The house seemed deathly still. and it struck me that Josephine on' her part was ominously quiet. When she spoke at last it was to ask: “Haven’t you a pistol?” “Yes, dear.” “Are you going to let them take everything?” ‘“ “It is for them to decide, darling.” “But, Fred—” . Josephine did not finish her sentence. The words she uttered were, however, so full of poignant surprise and disap- pointment that I felt constrained to inquire, with.a.gui1ty attempt at non- chalance: _ “Is there anything you would like to have me do?” '_, “You are the best judge, of course," she answered, coldly. “Only, do you think it is the usual way!” We have talked itover many times since, and I have endeavored to make plain to her that, in the process of evo- lution, thinking men have come to the conclusion that the husband and father who chops logic at dead of night with an accomplished burglar on the wrong side of his chamber door is akin to a lunatic. ' ' . She listens to my arguments, and has done me the honor to admit that there is more to be said in my behalf than she thought at first; but I remember that the last time we conversed upon the subject she shook her head, with the air of a woman who, in spite of every- thing, is still of the same opinion, and she murmured gently: ' “As I told you before, Fred, if you had fired once over the banisters, 1 would say nothing.” “But I might have been killed or maimed for life!” - , Josephine looked a little grave, but she answered succinctly: “There are certain risks in this world that a man has to take.” Arrested for Forgery. Yoxxnns, N. Y., Nov. 20.—-Adam M. Rule, aged 22, son of Thomas Rule, a well—to-do business man, residingen West 45th street, New York city, was arrested at the Getty house in this city yesterday afternoon.

(Br Miss NOBODY. ) Society is often more concerned about the way a man enters and leaves a room,.than about his fitness for be- ing admitted to the room at all. If more mothers would bear in mind that a good cook adds more happiness to a home than a poor musician, the divorce lawyers wouldn’t have enough - to do to keep their lungs from growing mouldy. The instep fad is a new fad of those fair women who are so unfortunateas to _be_possessed of a “low-bred” foot. It is simply a little linen pad fitted in place directly over where the instep should be, but very often isn’t. The best way to live is— to cast away trouble and contention, which cannot be cured by fretting. In justice to the requirements of thepresent, you should not look back and make yourself wretched over things that cannot be undone. The Ovide Musin Concert company will render some of the finest music ever heard in Norwalk, at the Opera House this evening. The concert is given for the benefit of the new hospi- tal, and all interested in this worthy enterprise should lend a hearty support. The Horse Show is agreat leveler, for it is the only place indoors where the men keep their hats on when sitting with and talking to ladies. The one thing on which the line is drawn is smoking, but that is not on account of the ladies, but because the animals object to it. It seems strange to hear Of Susan B. Anthony, now past 70, taking the most active part in the Woman’s Suffrage Convention in Brooklyn. It is half a century since Miss Anthony first spoke in public, but she has ever been consis- tent and adhered to her principals, and it must certainly be a gratification to her to see what has been accomplished n the way of extending woman’s equal- ity and influence even in her time. Have you ever noticed how much a room tells of the character of its occupant, unless that person be utterly devoid of individuality, and merely copies a pleasing interior that has been planned by some one else ? When this is the case the chairs and tables are perhaps arranged artistically in effect- ive groupings, but the one that should be the ruling spirit of the cosy nest is quite at odds with the soul of the fur- niture, if one may speak of inanimate objects as having a soul. It is not of such rooms that we care to talk. Our thoughts revert to those sanctums that actually cry out to the visitor regarding the taste and inclina- tions of those who dwell therein, and who allow their own superabundant in- dividuality to stamp itself upon their minutest belongings. - In these rooms we read heart stories and life ambitions. A Whole world of romance is wrapped up in a picture, before which a vase of flowers is always set as an offering upon the altar of a deadlove or cherished memory. A history Of artistic desire is revealed in the one‘or two feeble attempts at beauty in the bare room of the student, while the soft spot in the stern business man’s heart is shown to the world in the fat cushion that sits on his desk, the large uncertain stitches of which were put in by the tiny fingers of his little daughter. We may think we are very close- monthed, very discreet and very world- ly wise, but sometimes our furniture will reveal more in a minute than we would in years of closest intimacy. .0. USE DANA'S SARSAPABILLA, IT’S “THE KIND THAT CUBES.” Fell From an Express Train. Frederick W. Coddingly, Of Pater- son, N.

' taken to the local hospital and every effort made to restore him to conscious- ness, but in vain. He died in three hours. An examination proved that his skull was fractured and that he had sustained severe bodily injuries. From letters founi on him his identity was learned and also the fact that he was the nephew of William Coddingly, of Paterson. The victim of the accident was about twenty-five years old. There is little doubt that he received his in- juries by falling from the midnight Washington Express. Turkeys In New York. Thanksgiving turkeys have been hanging for days, and possibly for weeks, in cold storage, where the temperature is at some point between freezing and 40°. Some meats and most fruits keep best at a temperature slightly above the freezing point. The essential thing is that fermentation shall not take place and a temperature some degrees above freezing will ordinarily prevent it. Milk me be kept sweet in the hottest weath- er y sealing it in a glass jar and plac- ing the jar in a porous vessel of water. The constant evaporation of water through the pores of the containing ves-_ sel suflices to keep the milk at a tempera- ture low enough to prevent fermenta- tion.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20. —-Countcrfolt railway tickets to the amount of Over $100,000 have been honored in the last four weeks by the Baltimore & Ohio, Erie, Pittsburg & Western, Nickel Plate and other roads. There was absolutely nothing on the face of the tickets to indicate they were counterfeit. Theypwero secepted without question by conductors, passed readily by the ticket counters and entered as of legal issue by the various ticket auditors. The tickets were the most perfect coun- terfeits of any kind ever issued. The first intimation of crookedness cropped out in the auditor’s office of one of the victimized lines, when a duplicate number was discovered. Blamed His Printer. The auditor satisfied himself that both tickets were genuine and sent a. stinging note to his printer, scoring him severely for his carelessness. The printer appeared in person with an indignant denial of the charge, but when shown the two tickets of the same number was compelled to ac- knowledge that the error was made in his office. The next day the ticket auditor discov- ered 67 duplicated tickets in the collec- tions. There seemed no possibility of the tickets being counterfeit. They were ex- act duplicates. The next day nearly 300 duplicated tickets showed up in the collec- tions and a panic reigned in the auditing department. Each of the tickets read from Chicago to New York' and was worth $18. The one days collections showed the company had honored at least $5,400 worth of tick- ets for which it had not received a cent of revenue. The Counterfeit Discovered. Experts were immediately called in. At the end of three days, during which over 500'more duplicated tickets piled up in the auditor’s office, one of the experts dis- :c‘overed that the tickets were counterfeit. With a microscope he found an imperfec- tion in a. small letter “0”, which shoWed in just half the duplicated tickets. Meantime the other roads had been going through the same experience. Each of the roads promptly issued min~ ute instructions to their conductors to take up all the counterfeit tickets and enforce payment of passage from persons holding them. Each conductor was furnished means to recognize the counterfeits and the first day the four roads named took up over 600 of them. Passengers Losers Also. The passengers were naturally indig- nant, but each was compelled to acknowl- edge he had bought the ticket of a Chicago scalpel”. Nine out of every ten of the passengers who made written statements of the cir- cumstances declared they had bought the tickets of a notorious ticket scalper doing business on Clark street. The rest were bought in various offices. With the information thus obtained the victimized roads engaged the services of a prominent detective agency and a large force of Operatives was put on the work of running down the counterfeiters. The roads are in deadly earnest in bringing the criminals to justice and are bearing the cost jointly. Bound 'to Catch the Rogues, ' Up to date they have expanded over $11,000 in securing proof which it is confi- dently believed will land the criminals in the penitentiary for long terms. There is no means of knowing how many tickets were sold by the counter- feitcrs. The railroads now have in their posses- sion about $200,000 worth, more than one-half of which were honored for trans- portation. There is no fear of the roads losing anything more on the present issue of counterfeits, but they may now be on sale at every point in the west where scalpers have offices. Hardship on Passengers. A dozen or more Were sold in Chicago day before yesterday and dishonored for passage on east-bound trains yesterday. In many cases the purchase of tickets has worked great hardship to passengers. In the majority of cases they did not have, or claimed not to have, enough money to pay ‘ the cash fares demanded by the conductors when they took up the counterfeit tickets. On one train their were 83 holders of coun- terfeit tickets and 37 were compelled to leave the train for non-payment of pas- , sage. Enough additional information has been secured to warrant the statement that the roads interested have been mulcted to the tune of more than $300,000, and not less'than $200,000 more by passengers.
