Art Thou In Health, My Brother?
Senator Hoar was never happier, says
the Washington Post, than when he
epitomized theHawaiian situation by
quoting the incident of J cab and
Amasa. “Art thou in health.- my
brother?” inquired J cab, as he stabbed
his neighbor just beneath his most im-
portant rib. .;:There is the wholestory
of our recent statesmanshi p.
In sending” Mr. Willis to Honolulu,-
commended"-to :his “great and good
friend,” the ‘ provisional president of
Hawaii, and in loading him with mes-
sages of affection and solicltude, the
President gave, perhaps, the most faith.
ful reproduction of Josh to be found‘
in modern history. .Amasa, in the per-
son [of President Dole, awdited his
brother with" roseate expectation. . He
heard the assurances of fraternal in-
terest, he marked the light of honest
love upon his brow, he warmed to the
tender inquiry about his health, and all
the while the smiling J cab, with the
knife behind his cloak, was measuring
him for the ordained stab. Art thou in.
health, my brother ?_
It is areal pleasure to be able to state
that, at last accounts, Amasa was in ex-
cellent good health, and that J cab was
still fingering his knife and wondering
where that fifth rib could have gone.
Whether he had forgotten his lesson or
doubted the virtue of the weapon, or
whether Amasa suspected something
and kept his brother at arm’s length,
who shall say? But the coup de grace
had not yet been delivered, and the
sweetest thing in Christian diplomacy
since the Mountain ’Meadow massacre
hangs fire. It may be that our Amasa
had heard of J cab and guessed what he
held beneathfhiscloak. It maybe that»
Mr. Willis had been improvidently cast.
for the part and found it a trifle too—
shall we say robust ?——for his complex-
ion. But, anyhow, Joab still lurks in
the shadow and Amasa still takes his
meals with relish and regularity.
Thefact remains, though, that Mr.
Hoar has caught the spirit of the cpl.
code and transferred it to canvas with
truly startling fidelity. If Amasa lives
to-day it is not Joab’s fault. If civili-
zation goes withOut thrt ugly stain bor-
rowed from the blood and barbarism‘ of
the past, it is only because the adminis-
tration’splans have gone awry. “J cab

' Pertinent Questions.
Will the Board of School Visitors 'or
Selectmen of the town of Norwalk ans-
wer the following questions?
What provision of the law gives eith-
er, of you authority to determine the
number of evening schools that shall
be established in Norwalk?
Is there any authority given to either
of you to determine the length of time
said school shall be maintained each _
car
If the schools are not maintained
one hundred sessions each year, the
town cannot have the state aid of three
dollars per scholar. From this do you
claim that the town is compelled to
maintain them long enough to draw
this aid, whether it desires to or not ?
If you cannot determine the number
of schools or length of school term,
and the town is bound to establish and
maintain evening schools, is the town
to determine the number Of schools
and length of time they shall be main-
tained; and if so how can either of
your boards employ teachers for any
definite lime, or engage school rooms?
Is it claimed that the giving to the
Board of School Visitors “the same
supervision over evening schools estab-
lished pursuant to this act as by law
conferred upon the school committees
of consolidated districts” gives the
Boarda right to establish and main-
tain such a number of evening schools
as they elect?
In yourcontest for authority have
you not both forgotten the people and
their rights? , . ,
If the town has-the right and the su-
preme right to determine the number
and length of time evening schools
shall be maintained, would it not be
well to call a town meeting, and let the
town determine these questions in the
absence of express authority given un-
equivocally to either one of your
Boards?
Do you, the selectmen, claim that the
authority given you in Sec." 2126 of the
‘Statute “.To perform ....... all acts
necessary to carry into full effect the
power of towns with regard to schools”
authorizes you to establish evening
schools? INQUIRER.

old subject but put in a newer light
and better framed,—the love of one
man for another man’s wife, and the
conte‘mptible Villiany of the scoundrel,
who, through the meanest deceit, en-
deavors to gain the object of his affec-

Sissieretta Jones, very justly called

expectations were high, but her exqui-
site singing left none of them unmet.
Certain things greatly impressed me:
1. The unassuming ease and di' city.

The Fahan Case.
The case of Michael Fahan, charged
With unlawfully selling liquor without
a license came up before Justice Austin
Friday afternoon. 4
Fahan plead not guilty and Colonel
Frost conducted the defense. The first
Witness placed on the stand by Prose-
cuting Attorney Honnecker was George
N. Selleck of South Norwalk, one of
the men captured in the raid at Fahan’s
Sunday night, December 2. Selleck
testified that he had drank beer in
Fahan’s kitchen and had seen others
drink there; did not call for beer,
Fahan treated. In answer to the direct
question Selleck swore that he had not
paid for the'beer that he drank in the
kitchen last Sunday, notwithstanding
every officer and the representative of
the press who were present at the raid
heard him say that he had bought and~
paid for his bottle of beer. Constable
Ireland, the next witness, described
the scene in the room at the time of.
the raid, also to findingthe back stairs
eadmg down to the ice box, which both
the raid denied existed. The Constable
was followed by John Usell, who testi-
fied to buying and paying for beer at
Fahan’s on that Sunday night; had
also treated another part at the same
time. Usell also testifie that he had
been approached by Fahan since the
raid, who had told 'him it would be bet-
ter for him to say that he had not paid
for the drinks he had in the kitchen.
The cross-examination of Usell by
Colonel Frost was very rigid and caused
considerable merriment, but the wit-
ness proved more than a match for the
astute lawyer. When Usell admitted
that he had been in Mrs. Godson’s the
same Sunday night Fahan evidently
suspected something, as he yelled out
to the witness, f‘Oh, you terrier 1”
Chief. of police Dann and Officers
Martin, Howard and Northrop were
placed on the stand and all gave the
place a bad reputation. Officer Martin
testified to seeing gangs of from twen-
Ey-five to seventy-five going into ‘the
ahan entrance on a Sunday night.
W. H. Murray also testified to the rep-
utation of the place. As it was very
late when the prosecution closed the
case was ad10urned until Tuesday next
at 10 a. in. when the defense will be
heard. .

What the G‘r‘and Army Journal (Uti-
ca, N. Y.,)-says'of Dr..Davld
Ken nedv’s Favorite
Remedy. _
Dr. DaVid Kennedy, who .will' be-
remembered by many an old sol-
dier, as precident of the Examin-
ing Board of Sin eons for the dis-
charge of invalid so diers at the Sator-
lee, U. S. A, General Hospital, West
Philadelphia, Pa., found the need of a
medicine .that would dissolve the ex-
cess of uric acid in the blood, which is
the cause of many ailments physicians
encounter; kidney, liver and urinary
troubles, dyspepsia, rheumatism,scrofu-
la, salt rheum, nervousness and sleep-
lessness, all arise from this one cause.
After patienttoxl. and experiment, Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy was finally
produced. ' '
That it met the want and accomplish-
edothe cure of these various diseases is
ev1dent by the grateful acknowledg-
ments of thousands of the best citizens
of the country. ' ~
There are few Grand Army men more
better known than Commander James
8. Dean of General Grant Post, Rond-
out, N. ’Y. In speakin of Dr. Ken-
nedy s Favorite Reine y, Commander
Dean recently said: “I suffered from
an aggravated stomach trouble and
chronic. dyspepsia for years. Various
physicians prescribed for me' without
benefit. After using Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy but a week, Ifelt bet-
ter, and chills further use completely
cured me. It is the grandest medicine
on earth, curesd spepsia, stomach dis-
orders, anu bad 3 up a broken down
or overworked person, for I am a living
testimonial to its merit.”
Mr. Wilbur L. Hale, Quartermaster,
Pratt Post, G. A. R., Kingston, N. Y.,
speaks Wlth equally as forcible words.
“After I returned from the war ” said
Mr. Hale, “I had a most horrib e case
of Salt Rheum; doctors gave me up.
but lDr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
healed every sore, strengthened my
nerves, built up my weakened constitu-
tion; I now any life.”
Mr. F. C. Brink, of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y,, suffered from catarrh of the
bladder andkidnoy complaint for 20
years, and .had given up all hope of
finding relief, when Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy was brought 3 to his
notice and by the time he had taken the
fourth bottle, his trouble hadentirely
disappeared. - '
It is a medicine that euros, and we
can do no better service to persons who '
maybe suffering from disease than to
say, use Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Reme-
dy. It will cure you.
