THE DANISH
WEST INDIES
Uncle Sam May Not Get tbe Islands
After AH Agitation Against tbe
Sale Foreign Minister at Copen
hagen Will Request Secretary Hay
to Allow Aarrangements for a
Plebiscite.
Copenhagen, Dec. 23. The agitation
against the sale of the Danish West
Indies has placed the government in an
embarrassing position. There is much
difference of opinion as to how far pub
lic sentiment against the eale is genuire
and how far it is the work of speculators
and promoters. At any rate, it has im
pressed the foreign minister to the ex
tent of his being determined to request
Secretary Hay to allow of an arrange
ment for a plebiscite. The matter will
be settled through Copenhagen, and not
through the Danish minister at Wash
ington It is generally declared in well-informed
circles here that the islanders
favor tbe sale. But the chief argument
advanced by tbe large majority is that
there Bhould be a plebiscite like that of
1867.
The fact that the Danish government
is reopening the negotiations indicates
that there is much doubt in the mmdtof
tbe authorities as to bow accurately tbey
have ganged the national sentiment.
In the meanwhile those who'are op
posed to tbe sale are formulating nn
merous plans for realizing on tbe trop
ical asset so long neglected. A com
pany has jnst been formed for improv
ing tbe economic status of tbe islands,
in tbe event that tbey are not sold. Tbe
directors include many influential per
sons. -
Turns np In Bam Franolaoo
New Yobe, Dec. 28. Frank Hoi burn,
40 years old, of Brooklyn, who disap
peared from bis borne in November of
last year, and whose body was supposed
to bave been found in tbe Hackeneack
river, is alive and well in San Francisco.
A body taken from tbe water was iden
tified as tbat of Frank Holburn, and
was buried by bis father last March.
William Holburn, brother of tbe miss
ing man, has just received a letter dated
Ban Francisco, and signed by Frank
Holburn. Tbe writer did not explain
wby be left, but said be was about to go
to Ban Jose, Cel., and would write again
when be was settled. He said be would
secure a home for bis .wife and two
sons.
Holburn, who was employed by a
well-known jeweler, was insured in tbe
Brooklyn Council, Legion of Honor, but
the insurance waa not paid. He wrote
tbat ha bad nearly ctreled tbe globe, and
it is supposed tbat be boarded some ship
at tbe time of bis disappearance.
Msrkham.a Maw Foiltlou.
Houston, Tex., Dec. 28. At a meet
ing of tbe directors of tbe Houston &
Texas Central Railroad company, C. H.
Markbam was elected vice-president
and executive bead of tbe lines of tbe

freight traffic manager of tbe Pscific
division of the Southern Pacific, with

Well -Known Commercial Man.
Pacific Gbovk, Cel., Dec. 28. Adrian
C. Rosendale.a commercial traveler.well
known on tbe Pacific coast, died very
suddenly at his home ia tbia city this
morning. Death was caused by a clot
in the left auricle of the heart.
Ihh Two rom Ooath.
"Oar Utile daughter had an almost fa
tal attack of whooping cough and bron-
ebitls," writea Mrs. W. K. Haviland. of
Armonk. N. .. "but, when all other
remedies failed, we saved her life with
Dr. King 'a New Discovery. Our niece,
who had Consumption in an advanced
stage, also need this wonderful medicine
and to-day ahe la perfectly well." Des
perate throat and long diseases yield to
Dr. King's New Discovery as to no other
medicine on earth. Infallible fa Coughs
An impression seems to prevail that
"A Romance of Coon Hollow" is a show
given by colored people. This is a great
error and probably has arisen from the
fact that it is a Southern drama. Tbe
cast is made op entirely of well known
actors and actresses, at the head of
whom is tbe favorite little soubrette
star, Iola Pomeroy. The play is a very
pretty southern heart story, and while
it has intense and exciting incidents it
is not the usual melodrama, but natural
and pastoral in. its treatment. Tbe New
York Herald, when it was originally
produced in tbat city, styled it as a
Tennessee 'Old Homestead' " and
Allan Dale, in the New York World,
wrote of it: "The strength of "Cor n
Hollow" lies in its humanity. It is the
characters tbat make the play ; they are
fleet) and bllood real pulsative beings."
The comedy is given the same beau
tiful production that marked its launch
ing in New York, as all of the splend d
scenery is carried. "A Romance cf
Coon Hollow" will appear at the Vogt
tonight December 30th.
Brain Food Nonaenae.
Another ridiculous food fad lias been
Draodcd by tbe most competent author
ities. Tbey have dispelled the silly no
tion that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nourish a particular part of the
body, hut it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is deft roved by indi
gestion or dyepeysia. You must pre
pare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of tbe healthy millions. A few
doses aids digestion, stimulates tbe liver
to healthy action, purifies tbe blood, and
makes you feel buoyant and vigorous.
