PROF. SCOn AHD NEWSPAPERS

IAble Addresses by PeopleWho Teach the Young.

Prof. Hosmer and Inspector Gen-

eral Townsend Tell of Dutiesof the Teachers.

President JohnF., Scott presided atthe meeting of the Honolulu Teachers'Association, held in the High Schoolbuilding, Emma street, last evening.Mere than a hundred teachers 'andothers were present. At 8 o'clock Mr.H. S. Townsend, Inspector General ofSchools, was introduced to the audi-

ence, during his remarks he said:Ladies and Gentlemen: It has been

said in one of the local papers that thepurpose of this meeting is to entertain the public. Now, so far as thepublic is present, I sincerely hope itwill be entertained, but I am not heretor tne purpose or entertaining. I amhere to talk business, and you are herefcr business, I take it. It gives megreat pleasure to meet' with you, asyou are gathered together for the pur-pose of completing your organizationfor the purpose of pursuing yourcourses of study in education. And Icongratulate ypu upon your work, fromwhich so much of pleasured and profit isto be derived.

The difficulties which the teacher hasto meet in this land are greater thanthose met with by the teacher of anyother land in Christendom. This re-

sults from the fact that the work ofthe teacher is more than merely con-veying a certain amount of informa-tion; it is the development of moralcharacter. It is the business of theteacher to contribute his part towardsrealizing all the latest possibilitieslocked up in the personalities of hispupils. But the school is only onefactor in the product of character.Environment, society, and the home allexert their influences. But in this landthe school can expect little help fromany of these sources. In our land wehive an abnormal percentage of thelower elements in society. This isagainst the development of high andstrong moral character. And the homeis not a strong coadjutor in the workof bringing out all the potential goodin children. "

Yet difficult as the work is, It is notless glorious. "We are to build up anoble civilization here in' the Pacific,where the East and the west meet.And this gives dignity and responsi-bility to the teacher. What or whocan take his place. To meefand dis-charge the duties devolved upon us weneed enthusiasm. And what will soincrease our enthusiasm as contactwith one another, and the discussiontogether of these subjects? We needlofty ideals. Yet how easy it is forus to fall into the notion, as we aredealing with percentage or fractions,that it is our chief duty to convey a'certain amount of information onthese topics! How easy it is for us tofall into the way of teaching arithme-tic and geography, and drawing, in-stead of teaching children! We needdeeper devotion. And "as iron sharp-ened iron" we need insight. In thiswe must get our chief results fromcareful, hard study. But is it not better to trust to experience for insightinto our peculiar problems? If it werea question of how to convey a certainamount of information this plan wouldnot be wholly bad. But as the develop-ment of moral character is our aim,how long will it take to try a single experiment? And how many experimentswill it take to establish the truthsconcerning these problems? What ofthe material used in unsuccessful exII0:,"all the light we can from our own ex-perience, and the experience of ournejghbors. But let us not shut oureyes to the light of history especiallythe history of philosophy and pedagogy. I need do no more than namepsychology, as all agree that it Is ofvital Importance. Let us not shut oureyes to the light offered by sociology,ethics or philosophy. From all of

derives certain laws,which it arranges into systems of in-

struction and discipline.Fifty-thre- e years ago the Legisla-

ture of the State of New York investi-gated the then novel claim that teach-ers ought to be taught to teach. Theysent a committee to Massachusetts toinvestigate the matter, where the ex-

periment was in progress. They report-ed favorably, and an appropriation of$10,000 was voted to establish the nor-mal school at Albany. Upon the rec-ommendation of Horace Mann, DavidPerkins Page was chosen principal.He left Newburyport with the partinginjunction from Horace Mann: "Suc-ceed or die." He succeeded. He metall oppenents of the new plan on theplatform, and in the public prints.And a little more than three yearslater he died. But just 50 years ago

he had written a book, "Theory andPractice of Teaching." The first edi-tion or this book dragged along Intothe 70's. Today, amidst the hundredsof works on the subject of .education,four different firms are pushing asmany different editions of this work.

Probably no man in England is ex-

erting a greater influence upon pri-mary education than Inspector T. G,Rooper. And his little bookj of 50pages entitled "A Pot of Green Feath-ers," and later, "Appreciation," is the"plainest and simplest statement Iknow of one of the most practically .important doctrines of psychology. It--

furnishes the key to some of our mostdifficult problems. Before leaving you

wish to express the hope that intaking up other work you will notneglect these two little volumes. Bothare gems. About 150 of the teachers inthe out districts are taking up thiscourse. Next summer, wen we meettogether, it will be pleasant and prof-

itable to have thus much in commonwith one another and with the teachersfrom the other districts.

The next speaker was Miss Duncan.She dealt with methods. She confinedher remarks to the practical work inthe school, the needs of Hawaiianchildren and foreign children in. nativeschools. The- - word educate means .to"draw out," but with the" Hawaiianchild, we find little or nothing to drawuntil we have first put something In.The burden with him is to teach him tothink, how to think and how to expresshis thoughts. Page's "Theory andPractice of Teaching" was recommend-ed as a valuable guide in this instruc-tion. The speaker also indorsed verti-cal writing as an immediate need.

Professor Edgar Wood was the nextspeaker. His subject was "NatureStvdy," and he said:

"In response to the request of yourcommittee for the outline of a courseof lessons in nature study I have thepleasure to submit the tallowing:

"1. The study, by simple experiments, of some of the phenomena thatare daily taking place about us. Thiswould include the study of matter inits three forms solid, liquid andgaseous and forces controlling mat-

ter."2. The relatior of life (plant) to

the air about us and how the plantfurnishes food, clotbing and fuel, andpurifies the air. The life history of theplant from seed tc seed. It must be re-

membered that the primary object ofnature study is not that the child mayget a knowledge of plants and animalsor of inanimate nature, but that Insinterest in nature,may be aroused andth"t he may be trained to observe,compare and express. The study oflanguage does, or should, form a largepart of our school curriculum. In thestudy of language wealrii'to enablethe pupil to speak and write the lan-guage correctly and fluently.

Prof. M. M. Scott vied with the bandacross the street for attention tohis very interesting remarks on thesutject of "English." "Most of his-tciy- ,"

he observed, "we get in books;and first hands is always a good placeto get things from." The speaker wasimpressed with the good fortune of be-

ing" raised by mothers who spoke Eng-lish rather than Chinese or Japanese.The work of a young Japanese to mas-ter the characters and words of hislanguage would more than completethe usual English course, from theprimary instruction through the uni-versity. This condition was an im-

pediment to the Japanese. They knowit. Yet they master it, and English,German cr some other language be-

sides.There is a great tendency to draw

English. Newspapers, even editorialwritii'ss, are imperfect in the lan-gna- ge

while many of the advertise-ments "are nauseous to a Christian."Children get this class of literature andgicw to use it.

The editor of the Popular ScienceMrnthly recently wrote that even withthe increasing volume of literature andthe improvements constantly beingmade in the school systems, there wasa growing illiteracy in the UnitedStates. Fathers went at things direct-ly. There was an alarming tendencyto degrade the language-- . The speakerthought it would be an Improvementto teach English properly in theschools. The worsi sin was the use ofwrcng words. Get the correct wordto express a thing. The bad coin ofEnglish invariably' drove the good coinout. Character can better be built upby good language. "Something can bedone by teachers to loose the fluencyof speech and promote good language."

Professor Hosmer of Oahu College

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is pleasant to see the inter-est in the cause of education as is

by your presence here thisn'sbt

The question what' is the best edu-cation is an old one, but It is alwaysnew, and of living interest to each newgeneration. The young we have al-

ways with us, and I do not know ofany higher calling than that of theteacher. There is no more useful pro-fession when we consider the profes-sions here in this commjnity of theclergy, the medical profession, the le-

gal profession, and the journalist asdeserving of honor and respect as theyar.?. I know or none more deservingof respect or honor.none more faithful,energetic or efficient than the teachersof the public schools in Honolulu.

In the dark days of the GermanEmpire, when Prussia was overrun bythe troops of Napoleon I, old Baronvon Stein said to the King: "Give methe boys and I will give you back yourempire;" and it is the Prussian schoolsystem that has given Germany Itshigh position among the nations ofEurope.

And we say: "Give ns the youth ofHawaii and the problems of social andpolitical life will be rightly solved."

Our young "people must be taught in-

telligence andirtue, to have the powerof self-contr- and to be loyal sup-porters of good government. Theynjust enter upon their career as citi-"ze- ns

with an adeauate knowledge oftheir duties and responsibilities. Theftwiu .ne saieiy ul iree lnsiuuuuns ueassured and government of and for andby the people will have an abidingclace in Hawaii nel"T

what I might say upon this subjectwill seem trite mere truisms thingsfamiliar to you all.

But by comparing experiences wemay learn from each other, deduct afew rules and discover the underlyingpr'nciples.

The great principle Is love. If youare to be a successful teacher youmust have an earnest desire for thehighest good of th& pupils In yourcharge. The object of all government,is the good of the governed. Much ofyour success depends upon personalwork. The superiority of. Christianityover all other faiths is because of thepersonality of the Great Teacher. Youmust do personal work and each pupilneeds a different treatment.

God has given us all the body, thephysical being, the mental being, themoral being, or the spiritual being.No one of these is to be cultivated atthe expense of the rest, but all areto be developed in harmony. True ed-

ucation Is the symmetrical develop-ment of the whole being, the heartand soul and mind and strength.

In the Bible are the signs of thehighest culture and the highest life,

Land the formation of character is thefirst object of Instruction.

That has its place in connectionwith this phase of a teacher's work;and the principle is perhaps best ex-

pressed in the old and homely adage:"An ounce of, prevention is worth apound of cure." The teacher who hasthe wisdom to foresee and be on handto prevent a difficulty, finds little orno punishment necessary, and conse-quently there are no hard feelings en-

gendered on the part, of parents orpupils.

There must be punishment, of course,but the teacher should remember that"The quality of many is not strain'd."We use the word punish in the absence of a better word. We do notmean unnecessary inflictions of pain,but, as Herbert Spencer says: "Benef-icent checks to actions that are essen-tially injurious."

The same philosopher recommendsthat all punishments shall be, as faras possible, suffering the legitimateconsequences of the wrong act.

Every teacher must know when tobe firm and when to relax, s

V'rgll, in describing Aeolus, the godotne winds, spals. of him as a king,whe knows

"When to hold them firmly in handAnd when to give loose reins."

There is much in the school roomwhich the wise teacher should not ap-pear to see. Over-exacti- trainingtoo great stringency, produces laxityin the end. We remember in Englishhistory that the license of Charles II'sday followed the Puritan rule.

The teacher should commend as wellas criticize. Everybody likes to havepatient effort appreciated, and childrenare no exceptions to this rule. Theteacher should be strictly impartial,of course in enforcing school discip-line, but the same rules of life holdgood in the little world of the schoolthat are observed in the greater worldoutside.

There are two boys, one of whom ap-

preciates what is done for him; he iskind and shows by hi$ conduct thathe Is my friend. The other is stolidand indifferent toward me; he returnsa' kindness by rudeness. Now, wecannot help liking the one more thanthe other. You cannot be absolutelyimpartial. You would pretend to bewhat you were not. The first boy wouldfeel that he was not treated fairly, andthe second would despise you for pre- -tending what was not true. Childrenare quick to see straws.

Above all thincs. the teacher shouldcultivate the habit of being prompt?Hew can one who is habitually befaindtime correct a pupil delinquent in thisrespect? ' You may waste your owntime but you have no right to wasteother pupil's.

Mr. J. L. Dumas and ProfessorWoodward 'closed the series of talkswith brief remarks on psychologystudy.

Why They Were Published In Un-

The letters published In this paperyeEterday morning as coming to a Honolulu citizen, seemed to have stirred I

up a hornet's nest, and a number of" "-"- -" -- "- .- -- .., , .!. HT7-l.- .at jr. 4.O.. !..."""pecpie Hiiuuteu; tiiie, uueiiicij L"c- i

had read them. The manner la whichthey appeared in the paper, withoutaddress or signature, was suggestive ofsomething that "smells high untoheaven," and they did not have a veryweighty effect upon the community forthat reason. But there were restric-tions placed upon the Advertiser re-

porter by the man who received theletters from the Senators, and althoughthey were published in the exact wayIn which he requested, he saw fit towrite an anonymous letter to the ed-

itor of the Advertiser, charging grossinaccuracies and a breach of faith onthe part of the reporter.

It seems that a remark had beenmade on the street that such lettershad been received here; the reportertraced it up and found the man whohad the letters. His statement was tothe effect that ho had sent a circularletter to 58 membprs of the UnitedStates j Senate and one to President-elect McKinley, or his private scre-tai- y,

and has received 22 answers.Some were favorable to annexation,one or two were opposed to it, severalwere non committal and others "re- -,

That gentlemen wasseen and outlined the plan on whichthe letters were published yesterday.There was no breach of faith, therewas no guessing if the reporter madea mistake it was in crediting a letterWriten by an eastern man to ono wholived in the west, a mistake that waaimmaterial for the sentiments espress-d- e

were the same,Following is the roar from the man

who received the letters:MR. EDITOR:-Extra- ctso from the ,

letters of several United States Senators were submitted to your paperby me after a week of urging on yourpart.

I absolutely refused to allow thenames of any to be used, although thereporter read all the letters.

The subsequent attempt on his partto name the author of each as it ap-peared In this morning's paper wouldbe interesting for comparison with theletters.

Twenty-tw- o letters in all have, beenreceived by me, the 11 quoted as fa-

vorable to annexation, and the 11 oth-ers referred to.

Several are, to the best of my knowl-edge, new advocates of our cause.

Yours truly,THE PERSON WHO RECEIVED THE

LETTERS.Honolulu, February 1, 1897. ',

Rev. S. E. Bishop Is one of the menwho heard that the letters publishedwere fakes gotten up In this office andto set the mater right he volunteeredthe following: '

MR. EDITOR: Learning that doubtshave been expressed on the street asto the genuineness of the letters pub-lished this morning in your paper ashaving been received from UnitedStates Senators on the subject of theannexation of Hawaii, it gives mepleasure to state that I have examinedthe originals of the letters printed, aswell as many more from other Sen -ators; also, the envelopes and postmarks, and that there is no possibledoubt of their genuineness.

S. E. BISHOP.Honolulu, February 1, 1897.

Take It all In all there was reallyno cause for alarm on the part of any-one. That the letters are genuine therecan be no question and if the Adver-tiser had been allowed to publish thenames of the writers there would nothave been a suspicion that they werenot all right.

Some day, perhaps, the letters maybe published verbatim in pamphletform, then the public will learn bycomparison how much of the publishedarticle was true. There was no rea-son why they should have been de-

nied publicity yesterday, for as a rule,Senators do not write "strictly

letters to utter strangers.

Posiillty of an Attempt to M

RECIPROCITY AND PEARL HARBOR

Prof. "W. D. AlexanderFurnishes Hints.

Certain Privileges Which Should". End With Abrogation

of Treaty.

MS. EDITOR: The recently pub.Kefeed letter by Hon. Godfrey Rhodesfew wiled public attention to the

of the concession to theGovernment of the United States ofcertain privileges in the harbor ofPeti .River.

At the aame time there are somewriters hi tfce United States, of whom

Edmunds is one, who takeike ground that the abrogation of theTreaty of Reciprocity would not affectthe article which grants to the UnitedStales certain exclusive rights in PearlRiver. The leading editorial in Har-3e- rs

Weekly of the 7th Inst, assumesas much.

A candid examination, however, of

the Supplementary Convention rati-fied in November, 1887, will effectua-lly dispose of any such preposterousclaim.

In December, 1S84, a supplementaryconvention to extend the duration ofthe .Reciprocity Treaty for seven yearsfrom the date of the exchange of rati-fications, was .negotiated and dulysigned by the representatives of thetwo governments concerned. But itseems to have been found to be diff-

icult to secure its ratification by a voteol two-thir-ds of the U. S. Senate, andfinally in the year 1SS7 the famousPearl River article was inserted in itas an amendment, during a secret ses-

sion of the Senate, at the instance ofSenator Edmunds. This action mightiave been criticised as an invasion by

lhe Senate of the province of the Exe-

cutive. No opportunity had beenafforded to the two governments con-

cerned for mutual consultation or con-

sideration of its wording.Nevertheless, President Cleveland

accepted the convention as it had pass-

ed the Senate, and it had to be rati-fied in that form or not at all. Beforetransmitting it to his government,Hon.H.A.P. Carter, the Hawaiian Min-

ister, very properly addressed a letterto Secretary Bayard, in which he madeknown to the Government of the Unit-ed States the understanding underwhich the Hawaiian Governmentwould consent to ratify the conventionas amended by the Senate, and askedfor an expression of the views of theUnited States as to the constructionto be put upon the interpolated arti-cle.

In the first place, he held that thejurisdiction of the Hawaiian Govern-ment over Pearl River was left un-touched by the article referred toabove. This point may come up againin connection with the proposal of theScrymser cable company to lay a cableto Pearl Harbor without asking permission of the Hawaiian Government.

In the second place, he held that theprivileges conveyed by the additionalarticle would be conterminous with theTreaty of which It formed a part. AsMinister Carter well said: "The onlyexcuse for the insertion of such anarticle into a treaty of this naturewould be its relevancy to the privi-leges stipulated for in the originalConvention of 1S75, to whichthis issupplementary and the duration ofwhich this Convention is intended tolimit and define.

"No separate single article or partof a treaty can be held to have a con-tinuing power apart from the rest ofthe treaty unless provided for in spe-cific terms. The supplementary pro-visions and the original provisionswhich they affect, are necessarilymerged into one instrument to be dealtwith thenceforth as a whole.

' "It could not have been expected inthe Senate that Hawaii would consentto a perpetual grant of the privilegesought in return for a seven years, ex-

tension of the treaty of 1875, especial-ly in view of the danger of a materiallessening of its advantages to Hawaiiby changes in the tariff laws of theUnited States, and it must be apparentthat if any different term of durationwas Intended it would have been sti-pulated for, as it cannot be thoughtthat the Senate had any other intentthan that plainly set forth.

"Therefore the conclusion which Ihave reached, and which I think is theobvious conclusion to be drawn fromZLr?1"x to invade or diminish in any way theautonomous jurisdiction of Hawaii,

tion of the Convention the two Gov-ernments do not differ, and the Hawai-ian Government will doubtless desirethat their understanding, which I be-

lieve I have set forth in this note,shall be fully understood by the Gov-ernment of the United States beforeratifications are exchanged."

In his reply to this dispatch of Hon.H. A. P. Carter, Secretary Bayardwrote as follows: "The amendmentrelating to the harbor of Pearl Riverwas adopted in its executive sessionby the Senate, and I have no othermeans of arriving at its intent andmeaning than the words employed na-turally import.

"No ambiguity or obscurity in thatamendment Is observable, and I candiscern therein no subtraction fromHawaiian Sovereignty over the harbor.to which it relates, nor any languageimporting a longer duration for theInterpolated Article II than is provid-ed for in Article I of the Supplement-ary Convention.

"The limitation of my official powersdoes not make It competent for me inthis connection to qualify, expand orexplain the amendments engrafted onthat Convention by the Senate, but inthe present case I am unable to per-ceive any need for auxiliary interpre-tation or ground for doubt as to theplain scope and meaning thereof, andas the President desires a ratificationof the Supplementary Convention inits present shape, I can see no cause.for misapprehension by your Government as to the manifest effect andmeaning of the amendment in ques-

tion.""I therefore trust, that it will be

treated as it is tendered, in simple

or hesitation."After this interchange of views as

to the meaning ot tne convention, re-lying on the assurance given "by Se-

cretary Bayard, and on the honor andgood faith of the United States, theHawaiian Government ratified the Sup-plementary Convention, which wentinto effect Nov. 29, 1887. The ed

McKinlcy tariff, however, whichwent into effect Oct 1, 1890, deprivedHawaii of nearly all the benefits forwhich the concession in Pearl Harborhad been granted, and that too beforethe convention had run three years.For certainly no one can pretend thatthe said grant was made in consider-ation of former benefits received be-

fore the Supplementary Conventionhad been concluded.

It is a maxim of international lawthat treaties "are to receive a fair andliberal interpretation, according to theintention of the contracting parties,and to be kept with the most scrupu-lous good faith," in the words of Chan-

cellor Kent. Futhermore, Vattel de-

clares that "If a treaty be ambiguousin any part of it, the party who hadthe power, and on whom it was pe-

culiarly Incumbent to speak clearlyand plainly, ought to submit to theconstruction most unfavorable to him."

If then, which seems hardly possi-ble, a controversy should arise overthis article, Hawaii need not fear toleave it to the decision of any disin-terested arbitrator.

Senator Frye of Maine, in the courseof a debate in the United States Sen-ate, July 2, 1894, used the followinglanguage: "I ask the Senator if hewould face the nations of the earthand declare that 'notwithstanding wehae deprived them of all the benefitswhich we gave for Pearl Harbor, wedemand that the cession shall be per-petual.' Would the Senator dare to dothat? ... . This Republic wouldbe disgraced in the eyes of all civilizednations, if it undertook to stand onsuch ground for a single moment."

The moral to be drawn from theforegoing is this: that should the GreatRepublic reverse its policy of the pastfifty years, reject the overtures madpto it for a clpser union by the littlerepublic of Hawaii, and abrogate theReciprocity Treaty, closing Americanmarkets to that extent against itsproducts, it could no longer claim anyspecial privileges in Hawaii, or expectto retain a pai amount influence in Ha-waiian affairs.

DARK PICTURE CRAZE.

Artist Williams Introduces theFad With Excellent Results.

J. J. Williams has imported fromAmerica a large lot of new paper forbackgrounds of photographs. The oldstyle of dark backgrounds, so popularin America 22 years ago, has again he-co-

all the rage. Many improve-ments, however, have been made inthe process of developing objects uponthe backgrounds: and photographs recently sent out here from the east havethe appearance of statuary.

Mr. Williams has a show-gla- ss fullof pictures on dark backgrounds. Theeffect in each case has proved morethan satisfactory. It is noted that thefeatures, especially" of the face, arestrongly drawn out, producing an ef-

fect that would be Impossible with alight or fancy background. A pictureof Mr. C. J. McCarthy's baby is astriking illustration ot the power ofthe process. At best, however, the styleis a fad. Mr. Williams explains thatthe paper used is exceedingly delicateand will not last without treatmentmore than two months.

THE RICHARDS CONCERT.

Grand Artistic and FinancialSuccess.

The testimonial concert to -- MissGrace Richards was the artistic suc-cess that was promised by the pro-

moters, and the beneficiary was, nodoubt, pleased with the cordial recep-

tion given her by the audience, 'therewere 12 numbers on the program, andeach one was capitally rendered by therespective artists.

Miss Richards' first number was aselection from Carmen, ''Qui dei

for which she receivedhearty applause. Mr. Monteagle ren-dered Gounod's "Deo Possente" mostacceptably. A violin sfto by MissKate McGrew was enthusiastically en-

cored, and the performer graciouslyresponded. Mrs. Montague-Turn- er rendered "Ave Maria in a manner whichdemonstrated beyond question that,while her appearance in public is onlyat intervals, her voice has lost none ofits sweetness. As was to be expected,her song was encorednotwithstandingtne puDiisneu wisn or tne cynic, wnodoes not care for more than a littlegood music at a time.

The Honolulu Choral Society, whichhas grown so efficient under the lead-ership of Miss Richards, rendered achorus by Hawley very effectively. Avocal duet by Miss McGrew and MissRichards, and one for piano and vio-lin by Miss Clymer and the veteranProfessor Yarndley, were both encored.Miss Jessie Reeve Axtell sang two so-

los, "Night in Slumber," and "LaCharmante Marquerite," in a mannerwhich showed careful training and per-fect command of her rich contraltovoice".

Three solos by Miss Richards, onecomposed and dedicated to her by MissClymer, were delightfully refreshing,but if there was a preference on thepart of the audience it was for a Ger-man ballad, "Ungeduld," by Schubert.

The musical selection at the begin-ning of the concert was an intermezzoby Matt and was rendered by MissParmelee, piano; W. A. Love and B.L. Marx, first violins; T. H. Petrie andR. Bond, second violins; A. B. Ingalls,flute; Wray Taylor,, vlolincellq. Theaccompanists for the vocal selectionswere Miss Hopper, Miss Parmelee andMiss Clymer.

LETTERS -- TO HONOLULU MAN

Majority WillFavor Cause. When Put to Vote.

IBut Few Oppose Though SeveralDecline to Express

.' Themselves.

A Fort street business man has inlis possession a package of about 30letters, which forms a veritable goldmine of reading matter: ,

The letters are from United StatesSenators men who will sit in the Up-

per House of the American Congressduring President McKinley's special.session.

Every one of them have to deal withthe Hawaiian question, and would per- -Jiaps answer a query like this: "How--will you vote on annexation?"

The last Coast mail brought the let-

ters, and they were all written in thelast days of December, 1896. Some wereposted at Washington and some at thelomes of Senators, having been written during the Christmas recess.

A number of the Senators do notpositively commit themselves, but giveout as much as that they are friendlyto Hawaii and will not oppose anymeasure for the good of both countries.

Some came out flat-foot- ed for an-

nexation, and these contain the realmeat of the packet? One of these isfrom a Southern Senator who madehimself famous by a certain declarationon crowns and scepters. He says:

, , Dec. 28, 189G."Mr. , -

"Dear Sir: I am firmly the friendof the people and the Republic of Ha-wa- ii,

and will be ready to support anyreasonable measure for annexation tothe United States,

"I believe the Republic can easilysustain itself against the interferenceof any European or Asiatic power withthe friends it has, and if I were a citiTen of Hawaii I would feel great pridein making such an effort Lbelieve theHepublic Is safe against reactionaryefforts, if any are ever ventured upon,to return to monarchial rule,

"No .Republic founded on the prin--ciples that are the essential support ofhose of the United States, has ever

or ever will be relegated to a monarchial form of government. That libcrty once gained is imperishable. IfHawaii prefers to incorporate herselfinto the United States, for the bettersecurity and more proseperous enjoyment of these great national blessings,r will be glad to do my part in extending to her a cordial welcome.

"Sincerely yours,

A second letter is from a Republic-an Senator of great distinction, whobelongs to a New England State. Hehas been regarded as a staunch frlpnrtof Hawaii, but has never before so expressed nimseu on paper. He says to"his Honolulu correspondent;

"I am in favor of the annexation ofHawaii, and should I have an oppor-tunity to vote for it, I shall most glad-ly do so.

"Yours very truly,

An old Senator of the Blue Ridgesection, who has never before express-ed decided views on the subject of an-nexation, writes a short letter to say:

"I woujd be perfectly willing to con-sent to the annexation of Hawaii toCalifornia as a county. Yours truly,

Another prominent Senator of theNortheast expresses himself in thesewords:"

"I feel at liberty to say that, in ageneral way, I favor the annexationof your territory to the United States.' "Very truly yours,

. There are few letters in the lot from"Western men. But here is one thatdrives square at the point:

"I am in favor of the annexation ofHawaii to the United States underPresident McKinley's administration,provided the present Government ofthe Islands continues to desire suchannexation. Very truly yours,

Another Senator of the MiddleStates closes his letter with thesewords:

"Most of us accept the annexationof Hawaii at some future period as in-evitable. Yours truly,

An old friend of Hawaii, a man whohas done real service for the countryin the United States, writes at length.Among other things, he says:

"I have been, as you know, greatlyinterested in the Hawaiian question,and am in full sympathy with the dec-laration of the Republican party thatthe question should be settled and theIslands be accepted into the full con-trol of the United States. More thanthis, it would not be proper for me tosay at this time. Very truly yours,

Still another man, who, so far as isknown, has never expressed himselfon the question, says:

"It is more than probable that Iwould vote in favor of annexationthan otherwise.

"Yours very respectfully,

.A Senator, who has heretofore saidlittle on e question of annexation,

swjiy wjjf i wjpufieT ' "PIPI WW1

HAWAIIAN GAZETTE: TUESDAY, FEBRUAEY , 1897. SEMI-WEEK- LY.

writes: "I have no hesitation in" say-ing that I always have been and amnow in favor of the annexation of theHawaiian Islands. Very truly,

An extreme "Westerner, a manwealthy and influential, thus writes:

I have for years believed in p. closeunion between the United States andHawaii, and If annexation is what thelatter desires, then I am for annexa-tion. Yours very truly,

Another Senator, who has had, in hiscareer, considerable to do (with foreignaffairs, concludes his letter with thefollowing words:

"I do not hesitate to say, in generalterms, that I am in favor of the an-nexation of Hawaii to the UnitedStates. Yours very truly.

Out of the number heard from, 11Senators decline to commit them-selves. From the general tone, twomight be supposed to be not in favorof annexation. One of these is thesugar planter Senator from Louisiana.He concludes his letter by inquiring ifHawaii will support any agriculturalindustry save sugar. The followingare fair samples of what the other nineletters contain:

"Should the matter come up, 1 do notknow at present how I would vote.

"Very truly yours.

"I do not think it proper for a mem-ber of the Senate to say what he woulddo under certain contingencies'

"Very truly yours,

It may be remarked that the last let-ter was written by Mr. Mills' colleaguefrom Texas,' in the Senate.

Some of the above letters are fromrecognized friends of Hawaii in theAmerican Senate, and express no morethan might be expected of them. Oth-ers, however, come from either newmen or Senators who have never be-

fore expressed themselves on the ques-tion. In the number are a few men whomust be recognized as wholly newchampions of the Hawaiian cause. Atthe same time annexation has lost nofriends in the Senate.

Charlotte Boyd has begun breach-of-promi- se

proceedings against JohnGandall, and on the suit bases a claimfor damages in the sum of 510,000.Plaintiff states that the agreement tomany was made on January 4, thisyear, and disavowed by respondenttwo weeks later. Both of the partiesare well known young Hawaiians of.Honolulu.

H. A. Widemann has filed his account as guardian of the minor child-ren .of the late C. O. Berger. Hecharges himself with ?433.42 and cred-its the same amount, leaving no bal-ance in hand.

In the matter of H. Leonard vs. Dr.D. McLennan, damages, it has beenstipulated between the litigants thatthe case be heard by a jury on Mon-day, February 8th.

There was little business in thehigher courts Saturday, due to thelight calendar, which is usual on theeve of term sittings. The most im-portant transaction was the dischargeof H. J3. Mclntyre and Mrs. Walkerfrcm further responsibility in theBicknell estate matter. Messrs. Kin-ney & Ballou, attorneys for the peti-tioners, will now take steps to have atrustee appointed at Fijii, and to trans-fer all lthe matters pertaining to the

estate to that jurisdiction. The Greigcopartnership interests are now in thehands of trustees resident at Fijii.

The February term of the CircuitCourt, First Circuit, Hon. A W. Car-ter, Judge presiding, will open at 10o'clock this morning. A long calendarwill be presented by the prosecution,and, doubtless, most of the day will betaken up with reading it and settingcases. i

On the Hawaiian jury criminal list'are 12 cases. Eight of these are forselling liquor without license; two, as-

sault and battery; one, gambling andone larceny. The Hawaiian civillist contains eight minor cases, fourejectment and en equal number as-

BURGLARY COMMITTED.

Over S200 Stolen From Ah Yau'sCoffee Shop.

A neat burglary was committeedsometime shortly after 2 a. m. Satur-day in the coffee shop on the makaicorner of King and Punchbowl streets,and over ?200 was stolen from a trunkin the proprietor's room.

The first news was communicated topolice authorities by Ah Yau, the own-

er of the shop, who told the followingstory:

"I awakened at 2 a. m., as is mywont, and started downstairs to kneadmy bread. My trunk with over ?200in it was under my bunk. My room-mate and the man who helps me torun the shop, was sleeping in one cor-ner of the room. When I went down-stairs I closed the door behind me. At3:30 a. m. I went back again andawakened my room-mat- e to do hisshare of the work. Upon entering theroom I found my trunk gone. I report-ed the matter to my room-ma- te andwe both started out In search of it."

The trunk was found later inCemetery, near Queen street.

To all appearances it,had been brokenopen hurriedly without any pretensions to an artistic job, and the contents were gone.

The matter was put in the hands ofDetective Kaapa, and later in the dayAh Kin was arrested on suspicion, hebeing an altogether too frequent visitor at the coffee shop.

Dr. II C. Sloggett.Reference was made on Saturday to

a very beautiful medal presented toDr. Sloggett by the British Govern-ment An afternoon paper, whose mis-sion on earth seems to be to correctmistakes which occasionally appear inthe Honolulu newspapers, states thatthe prize came to the doctor through

the mail and not at the hands of H.B. M.'s Commissioner A G. S. Hawes.So be it, the doctor has it and is justly ,

proud, no matter whether it came by i

consular route or parcel postin the Advertiser article there was a

mention of Dr. Sloggett having de-

scended from an ancient Cornish fam-ily, settled at Tresloggett from earliesttimes. Foster's "Royal Lineage,"which gives the paternal ancestry ofthe 120 families who descend from theblood royal of England, traces theSloggett family back to Edward III,who was crowned in 1327.

THIS IS THE OIL that Plantation Engineers axe calling for.

24 Sugar MillsAre using the TROPIC Engine and Cylinder Oils, and we have yet tohear of a case where it haa not given perfect satisfaction.

The TROPIC is a pure, unadulterated lubricator, and Is fnlly war-ranted to be of the highest possible grade and to give first-cla- ss

It is made at one of the best OilRefineries in Cleveland, Ohio, and Is shipped direct to Honoluluwithout passing through the hands of any Middle-me- n, and we sell'in original packages, barrels or cases. The great success that theTROPIC OIL has met with, during the past season, ought certainlyto recommend It fdr use in every Sugar MilL

tories of the Americans over the.

Qkhisa in the Revolutionary war,

and in the war of 1S12.

:fear or prejudice, have fitiled to

toll the truth. Only of late hashistorical literature taken broad

grounds, especially regarding the--war of 1S12, and dared to, expose

the fact, that the Americans did

not formally obtain any admis-

sion of the principle, for which,

the war carried on, and that theAmericans were anxious to obtainpeace, when the great British

fl6ts were released, by the Xapo-IcoflicpMc- e,

from the blockadingof all Europe, and were free to de-

vastate the American coast.

The lsi educators now insistthat the children shall be told thetruth, and that their minds shallMO longer be inflamed with

THE CABINET AND THE PIGEONS.

A correspondent whose faith injhuman nature has been subjectedto most destructive ,upheavals

vrites to us", refeniug to our sug-

gestion that the Government un

Jertake the carrier pigeon service,jnd asks: "Can the Cabinet betrusted with a lot of fat pigeons?"

We reply that, under ordinarycircumstances, the" .members ofthe Cabinet can be implicitlytrusted. But the temptation offat pigeons as the possible in-

gredients of pie might cause themJ:o make a disastrous fall fromgrace. It is conceded that atlimns they resist the temptationto take food home, in spite of thejustification by national custom,and no articles have ever beenfound in their felonious posses-

sion. But if the Executive build-

ing is turned into a dove cote,populous with fat birds, the temp-

tation might cause one if not allof these good men to go wrong.

This is not the place to discussthe relative strength anil weak-

ness of the members of the Cab-inet The Attorney General mightyield before the Minister of theInterior threw up the moralsponge. The Minister of the In-

terior might slip fat' pigeons intohis pocket for an evening meal,when the Minister of Foreign Affairs was not looking. The Minis-ter of Finance, who becomes rest-less when the Kalakaua dollar isimpaired to the extent of the one-million-

part of a cent, mightsecrete a few for his starvingfamily, when the President wascalling Mr. Cleveland to order.If luscious pigeons pervade thestately precincts of the Executivebuilding, we believe that themembers of the Cabinet will resist temptation, if they are heldtogether by the cement of theirghostly consciences. But if temp-

tation comes to them singly, wocan only "hope for the best."

The fear of punishment is notpefoie them, in the absence ofany provision in the constitutiondefininir their relations to biids:ind the Chief Justice, with hisAssociates, would put such a"construction" on any law appli-

cable as would free them from lia- -

zens who fell from grace twoyears ago.

BRITISH PROSPERITY.

The prosperity of the UnitedKingdom was greater in the year1S90 than in the previous year.While nearly every commercialinterest in the United States hasbeen fearfully depressed for sev-

eral j'ears, in spite of the claimthat "it is the richest nation on

earth," the British hat has beenfilled with the contributions of

every nation, every clime. Thelittle island, insignificant in size,still dominates the world with itscommerce, and the United Statescannot divide with it

Every day people are askingWhy is it so? What is the reasonof it? There are reasons enough,but they do not count; only thefact convinces. The policy ofGreat Britain is to trade with allthe world and bring its money toLondon. The policy of the UnitedStates is to trade with its ownpeople and make money out of itsown resources and within itself.This is a fact and not a reason.The San Francisco Chronicle saida year ago that a "protective" pol-

icy and" one of foreign commercewas in conflict That paper holdsextremely high tariff views. So

the trial of these two opposingtheories of trade is going on be-

fore the world on a gigantic scale.The United States sends to Chinaannually goods to the value of$3,000,000. Great Britain sendsgoods to the same country to thevalue of about $70,000,000. ButAmerica is nearer to China thanGreat Britain. The British levycommercial tribute on all theworld. The Americans lay tributeon themselves mainly.

We who are prosperous andhappy under'' the American policydo not like these cold' facts. As

business men we accept the Am-lica- n

policy, even if some of us

dislike its principles.Still, prosperity by legislation

Is not as comforting as it mightbe, if it were sound in principle.- -

The American papers say tlmtthe halls of Congress are crowdedvith men representing -- every 1n-lustr- y,

THE WHITE LAT.0RER.

Many of those who are in favorof annexation talk rather ilippant-l- y

about the white man's capacityfor laboring in. the sugar canefields. ' If .it is really true that tliewhite man cannot work to advant-age in-thi- s field, we are confront-ed with a very serious propositionwhich endangers both annexationand reciprocity.

The policy of the United Statesis largely in the hands, not' of

farm managers or farmingcorpo-rations- ,

but in the hands of flioactual tillers of the soil, the fieldlaborers. These men hold today,with their allies, the workingmen,

the supreme power in the land atthe ballot box. This power in

creases every year. It is becomingmore intelligent evei- -

3 ear, be-

cause these small farmers are educating themselves. The foreignpolicy of the United States islargely in the control of these'men who plow, and hoe, and reap.

When an intelligent resident ofthese Islands, merchant or plant-er, says to these toilersNof Am-

erica, "You cannot work in ourcane fields; it is forbidden by alaw of nature; only certain racescan work here, and the yellowskin does the best," what is thereply of these millions of fieldhands of the United States? Is itnot this? "Do you ask us to annexa country in the principal indus-

try of which we cannot labor? Doyou not know that on every footof soil from Key West to Alaskawe arc laboring in the fields? Ifyou will look you will see that outlaws do'not touch a spot on whichwe, the 'white men,' cannot makea living with industry and intelli-

gence? We boast of this; our lit-

erature is full of it They tell usthat we, the tillers of the soil, arethe mainstay, the hope of the na-

tion; that without us our civiliza-

tion will soon decay. Now you askus to annex a place where we, thewhite laborers, Avill be helpless,where wemust yield up to otherand Asiatic laborers that suprem-acy over the soil which is themainstay of our political institu-tions. The men of the soil are,the political philosophers tell us,in the van of the conservative so-

cial forces. You tell us we mustgo to the rear and other racesmust take the lead. Let us hesi-

tate before we annex a spot wherethe white man conies under anawful spell. You may say thatthe white man becomes the leaderin the tropics, that the sun onlywithers his hand, not his brain;but remember that we, the toilerson American soil, acknowledge noleaders; we do our own thinking,fur we" are sovereigns. The smallfarmer vote of Minnesota andWisconsin makes up the politicsof those States. The small far-

mers', the laborers' vote on yourown soil will sooner or later con-

trol your politics. There is no es-

cape from it, unless there is des-

potism. Think seriously before3'ou finally tell us that we, whocontrol the destinies of the Am-

erican Republic, must wither un-

der your sun, if we become tillersof the soil."

Some of the most intelligentnewspapers in the United Statesare opposing annexation on thesegrounds. Can we afford to admitthat they are correct;?

The display made on theChinese ifew Year's day, by theChinese merchants indicate thatthey are properous, and content-ed. They adopt themselves to ourways;' and are good "citizens.

Gradually ,they take an interestin such admirable institutions, asthat conducted by the Rev. FrankDamon. The Governor of Singa-

pore said, some years ago, "TheChinese will assimilate them-

selves to the communities inwhich they reside, if they have thechance, biit the process will be a

slow one." Tf they were even hereonly as contract laborers, theywould never become good citi-

zens. But many of them arehere as independent merchants,and rice planters, ' and havea stake in the country. Therejs the utmost cordiality ex-

isting between them and ourown merchant The sagacity ofthe Chinese merchant in Cantonwas shown, recently, in the set-

tlement of the affairs of a rice exporting firm. It failed for 8000

taels. At onqe, several of theCanton guilds, in the same line of

business, fearing the effects of thefailure, upon the credit of themerchants generally, made up theloss. The best merchants of theworld could not do better. Itis evident that their "heathenism"has a silver lining.

The Chinese in Manilla aremuch oppressed, but they are excellent money makers. They findthe Spanish officials without anybigotry, in the way of receivingbribes.

The Japan Gazette sums upthe character of the Japanesein these words: "The truth is

that they are many sided, andhave numerous virtues as well asglearing defects. The casual visitor admires their politeness, theirartistic productions, their lightheartedness and their patriotism.The merchant deplores their commercial dishonesty, their fickelnessand deceit. Both are right, butthe globe trotter overlooks the defects whilei the resident is too aptto only remember the faults, andto ignore the good qualities." Itis now quite well understood thatthe power which keeps the peoplein order, is not the constitution,but the divine origin of the JEm--

peron When beliei m that onus,we shall see disturbances and re-

volutions. Belief in the divineorigin is slowly passing away, butit will have political force for some

time to come.

Regarding the Pearl JJabor con-

cession to the United States, madein the extension of the Recipro-city treaty,, the statement madeby Prof. Alexander, which wepublish in another column, clear-

ly defines its nature. The matterwas, unfortunately, not 'settled atthe time, as clearly as it shouldhave been, but that was not thefault of Minister Carter. lie ac

complished all that could be done.While governments split hairs,when it is for their interests to do

so, it may be assumed that the gov-

ernment of the United States, un-

der the direction of Mr. Mclvinleywill take no technical 'advantageof any obscure point in the treaty,if the sugar interests here do nottry to drive a close bargain. Ifthe value of the Pearl Harbor con-

cession is overestimated by us, itmay stir up the American states-

men to treat 'U3 harshly. Theyknow perfectly well that no othernation will, under any circum-

stances, take that concession, evenif offered to them. They willtreat us generously, if we putthem on honor.

The latest advices from the Phi-

lippine islands, are, that the Span-

ish troops now number about 28,-00- 0

men, of which about one-thir- d

are native troops, and cannot berelied on. The Spaifish troops aremainly boys, while the "natives areveterans in many ways, and areused to th? climate. The nativeinsurgents number over 100,000,who use their rifles with great skill.The leaders are nearly all ChineseMestisoos, or Chinese Spaniards,who "show muck skill in organiza-

tion. The large number of riflesinJthe possession 'of the rebel3, in- -

dicates that they are gettingpowerful aid from some source.Perhaps tho Japanese can throwsome light. on the subject. Weknow what they hope for, and itis hardly possible that they willbe so high minded as to remainentirelv neutral.

Judge' Hart is undoubtedlyright in stating that under anyand all circumstances, the UnitedStates will exercise a dominantinfluence heie. Even if they rejected overtures from us for closerunion, that dominant influencewould remain, but it might beused in a way to seriously injureus and destroy our commercialprosperity. If the United Statesdesires closer relations with us.and we refuse them, it might provoke measures on their partwhich would put us in coinmercial jeopardy. We are, by tin'sforce of circumstances in thepower of the United States!and Ave cannot help ourselves. Thegi'eat danger is that a,good manyof our people seem-- to think thatthey can trifle with the people ofthe Great Republic, without suf-

fering from it. In this, they maymake a serious mistake.

While the sugar interests ofthe British West Indies are al-- -

most bankrupt, the sugar interests of Queensland are prosper-ous.. Labor is as cheap in the oneplace as in the other. The Aus-

tralian papers say that the sugarmakers of Queensland are moreintelligent, enterprising and econ-

omical than those of the WestIndies. It is another instance ofthe survival of the fittest. Thebrain and not the hand is thegreat power of economy. Theplanters of the British West In-

dies have lost their grip and arenow apppealing to the Britishgovernment for protection." Asusual the unsuccessful asks thatthe government become a pau-

The Hawaiian CommercialJournal quotes' an article from"Sugar," on the sugar beet indus-try of the United States. Everyman in these islands, without re-

gard to occupation, should care-

fully read this article, - as ittouches his private interests, ly

or indirectly. The littlecloud, in the California sky fif-

teen years ago, is rising and be-

coming large and black. Col.Spreckels says that in ten years,the sugar beet industry will be thegreatest industry in the State. Hestrikes the key note, when hesays, "It is the only profitablething left for the farmer." Thereis some uncomfortable truth in

"

this. .

The Empress Dowager of Japandied on the 8th instant. Therewas a cessation of all public amuse--,ments. The official Gazette or-

ders, that "all professional singers,actors, and musicians will desistfrom the practise of their callingsfor fifteen days." The period ofmourning, haicho, will continueone year. All prisoners sentencedto hard labor will bo relieved fromwork for a period of five days. Alldeath sentences which should becarried into effect, during tins pe-

riod will be commuted.

Dr. Birnie, in his morning ser-

mon, of yesterday, spoke impres-sively on. what the social classesowe to each other. He insistedthat in money making", and in therelations of capital and labor, thereis need of keeping in mind thebest moral considerations, so thatlwith material prosperity would alsocome moral prosperity. ,

Granting a petition from certain in-

fluential Chinese residents ol the city,the Legislature at its last session pass-

ed an act setting aside for use as ahospital for Chinese exclusively, a lotjust inakai of the Reformatory schoolin Palama, with the condition thatthey put up a hospital building as sug-

gested in the petition.The Chinese merchants who had ihe

matter in hand, and they were fcy nomeans few, set to work at once, wentaround to the main Chinese places ofbusiness, and soon had enough moneysubscribed to make the starting of thebuilding a matter beyond question.Among the main subscriptions werethe following: Sing Chong Co., $500;Wong Kwai and Y. Ahin, ?300 eacii;L. Ahlo, ?200; Wong Leong, Wing WoTai, Lum Chung Wa, Wing Wo Chanand Goo Kim, ?150 each; Hop Hing,?120; Yee Wo Chan, Yuen Kee Co.,Kwong Hip Lung, Kwong Sam Kee,Yet Lee Co. and Yuen Chong, $100each.

completed and will be ready for oc-

cupancy during the latter part of jTeb- -ruary.

The following officers were elected tocarry out the work in connection withthe hospital: Chu Gem, president;Wong Wa Foy of the Quong Sam KeeCo., Hong Quon of tneSing Chong Co., treasurer; L. T. Chin,cleik for J. S. Walker, secretary. TheBoard of Trustees consists of twentyinfluential Chinese of the city.

W. SAkana', one of the most prom-

inent Chinese physicians in the city,was elected superintendent. Asso-ciated with him in the immediatelywork of the hospital will be two otherChinese physicians not yet elected totheir posts and a foreign physician,this probably having been decided onbecause of the fact that quite a num-ber of Chinese prefer other than tapirown physicians.

The contract for building the hospi-tal was giien to the Oahu Lumber andBuilding Association and the superin-tendence to Kau Wing Chew. Thework kas pushed along and now ashinted above the building is nearly

For airness and aobuilding in town is any better and itsslight elevation from the territory

gives it a view that mustneeds be of very great advantage inan Institution of its kind.

Its situation could not have beenmore happily chosen. Within conve-nient distance of King street it is stillfar enough away and shut oft so com-pletely by the buildings and trees thatintervene between it and the streetjust mentioned, that noises comingfrom that thoroughfare are spent be-

fore reaching the hospital.In the immediate vicinity are but

few dwellings and these the homes ofpeaceably inclined natives and Chi-

nese.Perahps the only element of annoy-

ance to the hospital will be the firingof guns and shouting of Chinamen tofrighten away the birds that hoveraway about to devour the unripenedrice In the patches near by.

The accompanying cut will give agood idea of the hospital. Immediate-ly facing it is the Reform School onthe other side of what is known as"Huapala Lane," a lane which runsparallel with Beretania street andjoins Robello lane. Surrounding thewhole of the spacious grounds, withthe exception of the front is a ten- -foot board fence. The front is ofpickets neatly planed and painted andis .provided with a handsome gate.

Coming to the main hospital building one enters by low steps and findshimself immediately on a ten-to- ot

running completely aroundhe building and to the right continu-

ing hack to the dining room and kitch-- n

in the rear.Nearjy the whole of the lower flcor

js occupied by the main room of the

building 28x50, which is supplied witheight windows and three doors. Likaiall the rest of the rooms the ceiling'Is very high and the color of the paintused, light and of a hue calculated tocheer rather than depress the invalids.

To the right and opening out uponthe front veranda, is the superinten-dent's office. Back of this and to iheright is the examining room ji-- d tothe left a room of equal size openinginto the hospital part. This will beused for the medicine.

As mentioned above the verandaruns back to the dining room andkitchen to the rear. The dining roomIs most happily arranged and opensinto the kitchen the cement floor ofwhich is directly on the ground. Sidesand roof are of corrugated iron as aprotection against danger from fire.

Only one set of stairs leads to theupper, story and this is from the rearveranda just back of the medicineroom.

The right half of the upper story isone large room with a door openingout towards Ewa. The other half ismade up of four rooms, two on eachside of a wide hallway, and designedespecially for women. As in the caseof the lower floor a ten-fo- ot verandaruns the whole way round.

Lattice work running to the fenceon both sides, shuts out the view ofthe rear of the hospital premises. Onthe left hand side and just back ofthis, is a cottage especially designedfor patients whose relatives or friendschoose to act the part of nurses. Thiscottage is composed of four rooms,each 17x17 and opening out upon awide porch in front. It is built afterthe same style as the main building.

On a line with this and near therear boundary of the premises, is asmall one-roo- m house for the prepara-tion of the dead for burial.

Back of the lattice work, to theright Is a house to be refitted andused for the attendants and laborersat the hospital, all of whom will ofcourse be Chinese.

The grounds are particularly welladapted for the setting out of trees andflowering plants. Separated from thelawns to the right and left by a widedriveway, is a circle immediately infront of the main building. The cen-ter of this will be occupied by a flag-pole and about it various kinds ofplants will be set out. Trees will beplanted on the lawns.

The hospital completed and furnish-ed will cost in the neighborhood ofJ7000. )f this amount, $6000 has beensubscribed and since there is now inthe treasury of the Chinese Benevo-lent Society, $5000 to be used toward

the hospital, everything can be paidup immediately and a surplus of $1000will remain in the treasury, thisamount to be used to defray the ex-

penses of the first year, if indeed theywill reach that amount.

The Chinese feel justly proud of thebenevolent work they have carried tosuch a successful termination and aredetermined to keep the good work cfthe hospital going right along.

The Advertiser extends its thanks toMessrs. Hong Quon of the Sing ChongCo. and Ho Fong of Bishop & Co., forpoints set forth in this article.

preciation of the services of ManagerAlliens and his wife who are soon toleave that place, Mr. Ahrens to assumemanagership of the new plantation.

A large lanai was built especially forthe purpose and some appreciation ofits size may be gained when it issuited that there were over 150 guestspresent, among them being Dr. andMrs. Weddick, Mr. and Mrs. J. Aber-ntih- y,

Mr. and Mrs. John Wright, Mr.and Mrs. James Holt, Miss Phillips,Miss Abernethy, John Spencer, JohnPhillips and Thomas Jones.

'Ihe party was made up of guestsfrom the city, plantation and placedsurrounding.

Before sitting down to the sumptu-ous repast, Mrs. Gilland and othersgave each one of the guests a lei sothat the scene was made very gay andfestive.

Mr. John Phillips in a toast to Mr.Ahrens said that the people of Waia-nae were most sorry to see him severhis connection with the plantation, sosatisfactory had been his work andhis dealings with them so kindly. Hewished to congratulate him however,on the betterment he had made forhimself, ,

To this Mr, Ahrens answered thathe was roost grateful tor all the kind-nesses that bad been shown him andhoped that in going he left nothingbut good will behind.

The Hawaiian National QuintetteClub was present and furnished musicfor the occasion.

There are 52 penitentiaries and over17,000 jails in the United States. Theycost $500,000,000 to build them. Over900,000 persons were incarcerated inthe year 1892. The criminal expenseto the country is not less than one

UOAB INDUSTRY

Cultivation of Beet Sugarin Utah ancTNebraska.

Successful Establishment of theindustry on the Arid Lands

of Utah.

Since writing of the beet sugar in-

dustry as developed in California, thecorrespondent of the Philadelphia Rec-

ord has journeyed into Utah and Ne-

braska in search of information rela-

tive to the production of beet sugarin those States.

While riding along through the beau-

tiful Utah Valley the very spot whichwas marked on the maps of our child-

hood days as the "Great AmericanDesert," we could not fail to be im-

pressed with the wondrous work thatirrigation has wrought. Here lies thethriving city of Lehi where are locatedthe factories of the Utah Sugar Com-pany.

It was a great undertaking this erec-

tion of a sugar plant in a countiywhere beets must be exclusively raisedby irrigation. Wiseacres shook theirheads, but the judgment of the menwho had the courage to undertakesuch an ontci prise Has been ampiyvlndicated. Beet culture in Utah is a suc-cess, and the fact that the Lehi factoryis the only sugar plant in the. worldusing beets raised solely by means ofirrigation, is in itself a matter of pub-

lic interest. It marks an importantdevelopment in the methods of beetculture and sugar manufacture.

The erection of the great factoryat Lehi began in November, 1890. Upto date the actual number of dollarsexpended upon the plant is well up tothe million mark, to say nothing of theuntiring energy of its projectors whohave from the beginning labored heai'tan'1 soul with unbounded faith in., theenterprise. Doubtless it is the groat-fs- t

and most rtomising industry in theinter-mounta- in country, and has prov-ed ?n important factor in the advancf-rren- t,

not oniy of those directly inter-ested in the growing of beets and tu ru-

ing them into sugar, but of the entirecommunity.

The question has been raised as owhether beets grown by irrigationwere as rich in sugar as those culti-

vated in sections where rains fall inMifliient quantities to mature the crop

'e had been so impressed by the bfliefhat beets giown by irrigation were

lacking in saccharine matter that wewere surprised when, in reply to ourquery, Mr. Thomas R. Cutler, the ge-

nial manager of the Utah sugarijs,sratrd emphatically that the idea piev-ale- nt

in the minds of many people wiserroneous; that any one who wouldike the trouble to make a caref'il

study of the question would find thatUtah, once a desert, has been entirely"ecliimed by the use of irrigation; thatthey have never lost their crops, asthey are absolutely sure that as longas they have snow in the mountainstheir seed will germinate, and thatthe water supply from the mountainsis not only the means of germinatingthe seed, but it brings down sedimentfrom the hills which Is in the natureof decayed vegetation, a natural fer-tilizer that has enriched the land andmade it wondrously productive. More-over, Mr. Cuticr confidently assertsthat irrigation does not effect either:the quantity or the quality of sugarcontained in the beet.

The Utah Sugar Company have 3350pcres of land devoted to beet culturewhich average a production of 13 term j

to the acre. About 200' persons are em-- 1

ployed in the factories and yards. Lastvear's output of sugar brought $400,-00- 0.

The beets when brought from thofield to the factory are first weigbland then stored in long sheds whichhave been made frost-pro- of by a dou-ble wall and a roof covered with erth.As the beets are required they arethrown into a shallow sluice-wa- y

which floats them to the point wherethey are needed. They are taken fromthis sluice-wa- y by a wheel elevatorand dropped into a washer which is atrough-shape- d contrivance with re-

volving arms. The beets are thenthrown out automatically into a, bucketelevator which conveys them to thetop of the building, where the cutteris located. This machine cuts the

'jeers into slices one-eigh- th of an inchhick, three-eight- of an inch wide

ind of various lengths. The slicedbeets now pass through a revolvingchute into the great circular diffusionbattery. This consists of twelvewrought iron cells each holding aboat126 cubic feet and having an openaanhole on top with a swinging cover.

The bottom is arranged to open and"lose, by hydraulic pressure.

It is in thi diffusion battery thatthe interesting process of separatingthe sacchaiiue matter from the beeti3 performed. This is done by the useof water heated to a certain degiee,from which it must not vary. The hotwater is turned on ten times in suc-cession, each time taking more of thesugar, until at last it has extractedill but about one-eig- th of one per cent,oi the sweetness stored in the beet.The juice now flows to an automaticregister, which records the quantityand temperature. From the register itpasses to a heater which is heated to90 degrees centigrade, and it thenpasses onto the carbonators or clari-fying pans, where a portion of the im-purities are removed by the applicationof lime, the refuse matter combiningwith the lime and settling to the bot-tom of the pan. The sucrate of limeis then decomposed by pumping car-bonic acid gas through the liquid, thusforming the excess of lime into cai-bon-

of lime. When this operationis completed the whole contents of thecarbonator, 1350 gallons, are pumpedby means of a plunger pump having acapacity of 8000 gallons per hourthrough a mammoth filter press. Thislemoves the residue of the clarifica-tion, the juice being treated twice withcarbonic acid and once with sulphur-ous acid. In the last process all thelime is removed. The dilutoa jiquia lonow concentrated in a quadruple effectevaporator to a fifty per cent, solution.From here there are two operations.To make the finest quality of sugizit is necessary to run it over bonfsblack, which removes impurities thatnnnot be taken out in any other way.

this process the liquid is as clearas water, and is then boiled into sugarin a vacuum pan. This is a closedkettle ten feet six inches in diameter

nd twenty-thre- e feet high. It hoi Is?3 tons of sugar. In this kettle thesugar is granulated and forms a pro-duct technically termed "melada," amixture of molasses and sugar, 75 percent, of the latter. The sugar is thendropped into a mixer, which holds theentire contents of the kettle. The sy-rup is next thrown off by means of cen-trifugal force. The moisture which re-

mains is lemoved by passing the product through a sugar dryer. It is nowready to pack, and at last we have thefinished product of the 'Utah SugarCompany.

We have been watching the processexactly twenty-fou- r hours, during

time we have seen the beetsleave the shed and the sugar there-from packed in bags or barrels.

But the Utah Sugar Company desmoic than raise the beets and makes igar of them. Since the inception ofthe enterpj-is- they have experimentedin pioducing seed, and now considerthat they are far beyond the experi-mental stage, as this year they haverai&ed about ten tons. The quality isexcellent, and the cost only about two-thin- 's

that of the imported seed. Themethods employed and the difflcultljsattending the raising qf beet seed wereset forth in a previous article. It is abusiness requiring the utmost care andwatchfulness, in order that it shall bekept up to the standard, and beets rais-ed from it shall not retrograde to theiroriginal sugar contents of three or fourrer cent. Every piogressive factory ismrVing experiments with various seedsfrom all parts of the world, so as toattain the very best results. It is a well-kno-

fact that seed adapted to onelocality is not always adaptable to an-other, but Utah seed-growe- rs believethat their State is so well suited to theindustry that they can grow and ma-ture seed which shall give good results.It would seem that their claim is ten-able from the fact that French capital-ist of extended experience in beet seedculture intends to locate in Utah andcommence the business, with the ex-pectation of untimely supplying thewhole United States.

The best sugar industry of Nebraskawas started in 1888 at Grand Island,but merely as an experiment. In 18S9the State University conducted experi-ments, and the first factory was pro-jected, but it was not until 18,30 thatbeet sugar was commercially producdin any quantity. A second factory, thatat Norfolk, was completed In the fol-lowing year, and the product has beenincreased from about 1,000,000 poundsin 18S0 to something like 8,000.000pounds in 1895. The financial depres-sion of 1893 was a severe-hec- k to the

eSttisw- -

industry in Nebraska as well as in allparts of the country, but, those whoare in position to know claim that thebusiness now is in a healthier condi-

tion than ever, and on the eve of agreat boom. The outlook Is especially i

favorable in Nebraska, where a Statelaw enacted in 1895 provides for thepayment of a bounty of five-eight-

o one per cenL per pound upon nilsugar manufactured in the State,whether from beets, sorghum or othersugar-yieldi- plants, grown within itsboundaries. Small as this bounty ap--pears, it is something, and will doubt-less act as an incentive to sugar pro-ducers.

The soil of Nebraska seems to bewell suited to beet culture, but growershave to contend with drought or ex-

cessive rains, either condition beinginimical to the successful growth ciany crop. However, the claim is madethat beeta have, been raised there, ,

jielding 30 tons to the acre. This isnut a subject for congratualtion, as Itsignifies an abnormal size of the rootsand corresponding decrease of sugarcontent. Beets of not more than threeand one-ha- lf pounds weight are morehighly esteemed by manufacturers, andmueed, it is expressly stipulated inmany contracts that they shall weignno moie than that, and that they shallcontain not less than 11 per cent, sugar80 per cent, piire.

The statistician, Licht, In Magdj-bur- g,

denies the possibility of beeisever containing more than lt per centsugar on an average. Nevertheless,Nebraskans claim that beets have beenproduced in that State containing Jper cent sugar, which result has nlsobeen attained in some parts o Cali-fornia. We were not able to learn meyield per aero In connection with Unastatement. It is fair to assume thatit was much below the average 112 to15 tons to the acre) for such an exces3of sugar means abnormal dryness oithe. soil, which in turn means smallyield In weight, so that neither theproducer nor the manufacturer gainsby such an exhiuit.

Despite the vicissitudes of climatewith which the Nebraskans have tocontend, they are very much in earnest. They have, all told, about 4,0u3acres given to beet culture, and in oneyear produced one 500th part of thenation's supply of sugar. This doenot imply small figures. It means aline of sugar barrels, placed end Joend, 125 miles long, as we are inform-- dby a statistical fiend, who also tellsus that the United States eats enoughsugar to fill four lines of barrels placedin the same position reaching fromNew York to San Francisco. , ,

The beet sugar industry is yet in itsinfancy in Nebraska, but It has thefostering care of the State In providinga bounty, and furthermore has the encouragement and protection of thoState University. This institution, toguard against the deterioration of sesd.therefore lessening the percentage ofsugar, and destroying the profit of theindustry, has undertaken to grow seed;anil in addition, in order to insure tomanufacturers the aid of skilled workers, the university gives a course ofinstruction in beet sugar manufacture,which also includes chemical analysis

THE CHURCHES.

Sermons Prcuclicd Before LargeConur-'g;iiioii-

s.

Rev. J. M. Monroe preached a ser-mon to parents and Sunday Schoolteachers at the Christian Church lastnight, upon the subject of "How EarlyChildren May Unite With the Church."

He said that those who repudiate in-

fant membership had probably sungtoo far to the other extreme.

It is a mistake to suppose that amind must be mature before being ableto accept the simple terms of the Gos-pel, If it were necessary for a child tounderstand the Westminster confes-sion of faith, then, indeed, they wouldneed to have almost the mental abilityof a philosopher. If they must believein total hereditary depravity, thatwould be a barrier to children enteringtho church; but the Scriptures say that"these things (the Gospels) are writ-ten that ye might believe that Jesusis the Christ, the Son of God; that inbelieving ye might have life throughHis name." And it la as5 easy to ac-cede to that as to accept Mr. Dole asPresident New Testament conversionswere often made on one presentationof the Gospel. It is not an Intricatething, the main facts of the Gospel.

If you do not capture the young forChrist before the age of 1C, you areapt not to do it before 30. Get youngpeople before they are absorbed in thesterner things of life, for then thechance to get their attention Is gone.Become a Christian before gettingmarried; before getting rich, so as tomake your choice in keeping withChristian principles. Settle the ques-tion of divinity first. Let the childrencomo into the church in the goldendays of youth and spend their lives inthe church.

The ordinance of baptism was ob-served at the close of the service.

At the M. E. Church, Rev. Mr. Peckdelivered an Interesting discourse lastevening from the text, "Come OverInto Macedonia' and Help Us." Hegave the history of the circumstanceswhich led up to and surrounded thiscry, and made local application of thelesson.

Rev. D. P. Birnie had a large con-gregation at the Central Union ChurchSunday morning to listen to his ser-mon on "Temptation." The lesson wasbased upon the first eight verses ofLuke IV, being the story of the temp-tation of Jesus on the mountain. Therewas an equally large audience in theevening.

At the morning service Donald de V.Graham sang a solo.

papers of yesterday could havebo effect upon thejilantatlon projector the lease. It is a case entered more

than a year ago to establish one point:Whether Mrs. Brown holds the prop-

erty in fee simple, or has merely aHfe interest in it. As a ranch, the prop- -

erty would net the children $4,000 perannum; as a sugar plantation the in- -

come from it would be about $20,000.

It Is not to be supposed that a court.aedng for the interests of the children.would hesitate to sanction a lease onthis basis. Such a contingency wasnever apprehended, and has neverarisen, as might be supposed from pub -

Hshed reports.The trouble, then arose over a lease

for fifteen years of one-thi- rd of theWaipio property, made twelve yearsago, to L. L. McCandless. Mr. McCand-

less first offered to accept a rental of

$0,000 per year for twelve, years forhis lease. This was amended to a pro- -

sosal of this kind: Mr. McCandlessagreed to expend $600 in clearing Ian- -

lana from the nlace. and then to accent$86,000 as a full consideration for hislease. In the meantime an affidavitby Mr. Ballou was filed in the CircuitCourt, which, it appears, was notclearly understood.

A special meeting of the stockholderst ih. pUnUilan 0 lielZ )TAai.)rilHj

morning. Mr. McCandless sent to astockholder a third proposal, whichwas accepted. It was this: The plan-tation's rental of land for sixty yearsIs to be one and one-ha- lf per cent ofth1 total output of sugar. Mr. Mc-

Candless agreed to waive his lease forone-thi- rd of this amount, which wouldbe one-ha- lf of one per cent of theoutput This was agreed to. At thesame time Mr. Dillingham made cer-tain pasturage concessions, which re-

moved the last barrier in the way oftke lease. Upon that basis the matterwas settled.

The Waipio property is quite a val-uable tract Nearly all of it Is below alevel of 100 feet It is in easy range ofwater no matter where, on the planta-tion, the pumping plants may, be sta-tioned. The property as a whole is ad-

mitted by the best judges to be one ofthe most perfect plantation sites in theInlands. With the road all clear, every-thing will now go ahead.

MR. EDITOR: I was much Interest-

1st Cost of necessary birds todaily service between two sta-

tions, say Honokaa, Hawaii, and Ho-

nolulu, Oahu.Sod. Cost and size of cotes.3rd. Length of time necessary to

train.4th. Gare and maintenance, etcIn tact all outlay necessary to estab-

lish and" keep up such two stations.- Yours respectfully, F. M.

Honolulu, Jan. 27. 1S97.

In answer to the above the followinginformation is given:

The cost of "fancy" birds is high.We were Informed by Geo. H. Croley,417 Sacramento street San Francisco,"who is an expert and deals in thesebirds, that a pair of them costing $4.00would answer all purposes.

The cost of cotes would be about thesame as a good chicken house, but itshould be on a house top. The sizewill depend upon the number of birds.

The time necessary for training de-

pends wholly on the industry of thetrainer. It may be done In severalweeks. The young birds are taken outto a short distance from the cote, sayhalf a mile, and then loosened. Theyare then taken to the distance of amile, then five miles, ten miles, twen--

ty.-an- d so on. This may done in quick

sue. The boat may have to make anumber of trips into the channel inorder to lead the birds up to very longdistances.

The care and maintenance of thebirds is the same as that for ordinarypigeons. But there must be special careand arrangements, so that the birdswhich return home shall, on enteringthe cote, give a signal, or enter a spe-cial room and not mix with the otherbirds until the messages are takenfrom them, so the birds destined fordifferent places must be kept apart.As the birds require only a simple dietof peas, the cost of maintenance isnearly nominal.

One of the best books on the subjectIs "The breeding and training of hom- -ing pigeons," written by Louis Hoser,(Cbas. F. Hoser, publisher), German-tow- n,

Pa. This little book is for saleby Geo. H. Croley, 417 Sacramentostreet, San Francisco, Cal., price 25cents.

GOOD BEGINNING.

First Hagey Club Concert

Was Success.

Honolulu's Leading Singers andDonald Graham Revelved Ova-

tions Last Night.

Not in years, except at the Yatmanmeetings, has the Y. M. C. A. hall heldso many people as crowded into tlast evening to attend the concert ofthe Hagey Club. Every seat was

numbers of people crowdedinto the aisles and a full hundred stoodon the landing at the top of the stairs.On the platform sat President Harri- -scm. Secretary Robt. Scrimgeour .indother officers of the club, while members of the society occupied seats nearthe front.

The program was excellent one. Itconsisted of eight numbers. Theconcert began at 8 and was over at9:45. Misses McGrew and Love us- -sisted as accompanists in the musical- "

fThe first number was a violin duet

by Prof. Yarndley and Mr. W. ALove, with Miss Love as accompanist,le selection was from "Petite Symp-honic" by Danela and met with greatfavor.

Next ctme an extemporaneous wel- -come by Mr. J. H. KIrapatrick of he

tnebhlstory of Hagey treatment forthe liquor and tobacco habits, andmade a statement of the work accoin- -

Psnea in wonoiuiu. following tnishe stated the facts of the recent incorporation of the Institute under local auspices and the plans to make Ua permanency. He took occasion sila'oto thank the people of Honolulu, .meand all alike, for the hearty hand andassistance that had been rendered infurtnerlUb ho cause.

For the next number the fine voiceof Mr. Donald De V. Graham washeard in "Where'er You Walk" byHandel. The vocalist displayed won-derful power with effect, and paveJthe way for a hearty encore. In se

he rendered "Heart Aches,"playing the accompaniment himself.This, if possible, was better than thefirst The selection is a beautiful one

a splendid sentiment and a strainthat at once appeals to everyone.

Mrs. W. W. Hall was called uponfor the next number. Her well-know- n

elocutionary powers were fully em-ployed in Lowel's famous realistic

"The Courtin'". Mr. R. C.Monteagle sang very acceptably "ThePalms," by Gounod, and, in responseto an enocre, presented "Good-Dy- e,

Sweetheart." Mr. James T. Stewart, apupil of the Institute, read the Consti-tution of the Hagey Club, and follow-ed it with a bit of his own experiense.He related in an interesting way hiscareer as a drinking man, and saidthat, though he had been taking theHagey treatment a week only, he nolonger craved .spirituous liquors. Heciosed a panegric to the promoters cfthe Institute with an appeal to alldrinking riien to take the treatment.

A storm iof applause greeted thepresence of Mrs. Montague-Turn- er inthe doorway, as she approved for thenext number. With Miss Love as ticcompanist, her superb voice was firstheard in "Knowest Thou That DearLand," by A. Thomas. For an encoreMrs. Turner played and sung the firststanza and the refrain of "Home, SweetHome." The propriety of the selec-tion and its beautuul rendition madeit exceedingly impressive.

. Mr. Wm. O'Haloran, a graduate fromthe Institute , read an appropriatepoem. The audience was then treated to one of the happiest musical num-bers of the program the song"OnceIn a While" by Mrs. R. D. Walbridge,with violin obligato by Prof. Yarndleyan-- Miss Love as accompanist Mrs.Walbridge possesses an exceedinglysweet alto voice and more than pleasedthe large audience in the hall lastnight

A reading by Mr. J. F. Brown wasquite humorous and was very accept-ably Interpreted. Prof. Yarndley of-

fered as a violin solo Ernest's "Elegie"which brought the splendid programto a successful close. After this therewere short talks by members of the'club and their friends.

But Small Horn of Opium

Found in Valise.

No Trace of Large Quantity Sup-

posed to Have BeenLanded.

For several weeks the detectiveshave been watching a certain cpm-binati-

and especially J. W. Blakewho arrived in Honolulu from Van-couver, B. C, in December last,this in pursuance of the Marshal's or-

ders given after having received infor-mation from a reliable source.

The watch during the past threeweeks was more vigilant than ever andthe object of all this nosing around ofthe detectives was Blake, who has acottage in Fowler's Yard, the place inwhich he has resided since his arrivalin the country.

Late on the night of Tuesday, Janu-ary 2Gth, information was communi-cated to David Kaapa to the effect th.itopium had been seen to go into theOOttaece-- . No- - 72- - oooupiod by niakU.On the next day the detectives startedin to shadow the place and keep evencloser watch than ever on Blake whowas seen to leave the cottage quiteearly. Strange as it may seen, he didnot return and was not seen all daylong.

In the evening he was seen hang-ing about in the vicinity of the shoot-ing gallery and other places in theimmediate vicinity on Hotel street.

A little later on he was seen to crossover to the California Wine Companywhere he was met by "Opium" Brownin the deep shadow of the doorway.Immediately there followed a muf-fled conversation of nearly three-quarte- rs

of an hour.This finished Brown went toward

Fort on the mauka side of the streetwhile Blake crossed oyer and goingup Nuuanu, was lost sight of in Chap-lain Lane.

At about 8:40 p. m., he was seen tocome down Nuuanu street withBrown. The two walked to Kingstreet and over to Castle & Cooke'scorner where they took a hack anddrove off. That was the last seen ofBlake for that night and the nextday.

Between 11 and 12 o'clock Thursdaynight he was seen to enter his cottageand just shortly before 1 a. m. Friday,Detective Kaapa stepped in and arrest-ed his man.

upon searcning tne premises noopium could be found but the fact that '

one of the two satchels which Blakewas known to be the possessor, wasaDsent, gave the detectives some hope.

Blake was locked up and yesterdaymorning a warrant of search for theoffice of the Machnic's Home was ecured

GROWING SOCIETY

Year Book of Society Sonsof American Revolution.

Will Be Published In Few Days.History of the Local

Society.

The year book of the Hawaiian So-

ciety, Sons of the American Revolu-tion, compiled by Wm. F. Allen, Prof.W. D. Alexander and John EClnger,Committe, for the years 1896-189- 7, willbe issued in the course of ten days. Itwill contain a vast deal of historicalinformation concerning the societyand its members.

This oook is disseminated amongsocieties of the same order in theUnited States. Similar year books aregotten out by all the societies and aredistributed in the same way. On thetitle page of the Hawaiian year bookwill appear this inscription: "To ourcompatriots across the sea, this volume is dedicated with the hope thatwe may soon live under the flag of ourfatherland." As a preface, the follow-ing historical sketch will bear quiteinteresting data to the societies"across the sea."

The Hawaiian Society of the Sonsof the American Revolution .. enjoysthe distinction of being the first so-ciety of the kind formed in a foreignland. It is one of many proofs thatHawaii forms the advanced post ofAmerican civilization in the PacificOcean.

'The Pioneers who first broushtChristian civilization to these Islands,and many of their compatriots whohave since then settled here, belongedto old Revolutionary families, chieflyof New England and the Middle States.They taught their descendants to fearGod and love liberty, to revere thememory of their patriotic ancestors,and to cherish the principles for whichthey fought. These principles theywere taught to hold not in any narrowand selfish spirit but with the viewof extending to all mankind the bless-ings of "liberty protected by law."

"Here as elsewhere these influenceshave swept away feudal despotism andsecured to the native people 'of theseIslands all the rights which were wonat so great a cost by our ancestors.

"During the great Civil War, theAmerican colony in Hawaii contribut-ed its full share both of men and mon-ey for the cause of the Union; and no-

where is the memory of those whogave their lives in its defence morehonored than here on Decoration Day.

"The Hawaiian Society was organiz-ed June 17, 1896, on the anniversary ofthe battle of Bunker Hill, with buteighteen members. A constitutiolnbased upon that of the MassachusettsSociety was adopted and the followingofficers chosen Peter Cushman Jones,President; Albert Francis Judd, Vice-Preside-

John Efllnger, Secretary;William DeWitt Alexander, Registrar;William Joseph Forbes, Treasurer;Rev. Douglas Putnam Birnie, JohnWalter Jones and Henry Weld Sever-ance, Members of the Board of Man-agers. The Board (with the exceptionof Henry Weld Severance) was re-

elected, with the addition of Col. Wil-liam Fessenden Allen, at the annualmeeting in June, 1896.

"The Hawaiian Society has giventhree entertainments in the past year

one on the anniversary of the birthof Washington, one on the LexingtonMarm Day, and one on Cornwallis'Surrender Day. The first was at Hon.P. C. Jones' residence, the second atChief Justice Judd's residence, andthe third at the hall of the Y. M. C. A.,the guest of honor at the last one be-ing Captain Nathan Appleton, of theMassachusetts Society. The Societyproposes the coming year holdingmeetings to celebrate all the principalnnniversarles of the Revolution. It hasoffered prizes for orations to be de-livered at the close of the school yearby the students of the schools of theRepublic.

"Fifty-seve- n applications for mem-bership have been received, and nearlyall favorably reported upon by the Na-

tional Society as eligible. The Hawai-ian Society offers this modest additionto the year Books of the Society of theSons of the American Revolution, Inthe hope that the coming year will seethe names upon Its membership rolldoubled in number."

MR. EDITOR: I hope the article inthis morning's paper was interestingto all your readers as was to me.

If read rightly, there is no one herepiofessing Christianity . brotherlylove, but must own the truth is told,regarding the bitter and unreasonablefeeling planted in the breasts of Amer-ican children towards Britain allthings British. When I lived for atime in the States I often wonderedwhy that feeling was strong in thechildren after a lapse of many years.

-- and especially when I thought many ofthem only one generation fromevery nation under the sun, and thattheir forefathers had concern withthe American Revolution. takethose whose ancestors did "lick theEritishers," they put it, surely themellowing influence of time and themere fact-- of them being the victorsshould have buried all bitterness longago., While it.is very hard for us at times

to remember, as you say, that thereis one flag for all races, and thatits staff was raised on the heights "ofJerusalem, still, it is surely very easyindeed, to lay aside the hard thoughtsregarding those who have offended us,more especially, our offenders havesuffered punishment for the evil theydid. If Britain, did overstep herrights theparent country de-

veloped an unusual amount of "bighead" to use your expressive Ameri-can language has had over a cen-tury to watch the tremendous growthand of a wonderful and mightynation which might still have owned

sway she been careful andnot blundered and taken rather more

a just share of parental authori-ty. Is not this enough?For we never quite recognize thatpunishment is a good thing no matterhow much we may have broughton ourselves by our misdeeds.

And now "that thou shalt see thedifference of our spirit," let me tellyou, in Britain there is nothing inany school book nor anything the eld-ers tell the young people to keep upenmity towards America. It is, infact, the other way. We are taught tolook on America a wonderful coun-try with a wonderful people, wecertainly look on them much nearerrelated to usthan other white races

, nearer home. It is the "Land of theFree," although, now that I have beenthere, I have yet to learn Tiave ex-

plained to me where there is any morefreedom than in the old country. How-ever, that has nothing to do with thesubject, and I have firmly made up mymind that we have much, too warm aregard for America even to a secretadmiration for the stang she topk forher liberty in return for all the disa-greeable, scurrilous untruths they tellabout "land-grabbi- England" asthey are pleased to it You saymay be asked whether not the so-

NEWS OF BUTLER

Warrimoo's Mate Tellsan Alarming Story.

Swanhllda May Be In Hands of theMurderers Detectives

Theory.

An officer of the Warrimoo broughtto Honolulu a startling report concern-ing murderer Butler and the Swau-hild- a.

He says that detectives In Australia have discovered that Butler hadsix accomplices in his several mur-

ders, and that all of them shipped onthe Swanhilda with the principal. Thismeans that about half of the crew arethe murderers.

What then may have beenthe fateof the Swanhllda"? fl

"I expect nothing less Jhan thatthese men hae murdered their Cap- -

tain and shipmates ere this and irenow steering for somecoast," said the officer. "This is theopinion among detectives and ship-ping men in Sydney."

The officer said that it was estab-lished that all of the gang associatedwith Butler in his several crimes ship-ped and got away, on the Swanhilda.Everyone of them were identified bydescriptions obtained at the officewhere they signed. Australia hadbeen scoured from end to end beforethis without a clue.

In this statement of his meetingwith the Swanhilda, Captain M'Breathof the steamer Taupo relates that con-siderable excitement prevailed amongthe sailors of the coal vessel as hisboat approached her side. Severalwere crowded together on the deskand, after the second mate had gonebelow with Captain Fraser, demandPd,in quite harsh tones, what the boatwanted. The officer of the Warrimooventured the opinion that these menwere none other than Butler and hisaccomplices, huddled together, be-

lieving the steamer had been sent afterthem, to make a last stand.

This startling information, whichcame direct from Australian detec-

tives to the Warrimoo's officer, makesthe case doubly interesting; and anynews by Tuesday's sleamer of theSwanhilda may be all of good news.

POSSIBLE CHANGES.

The business of the young men inHonolulu will be to convey the property, perhaps by a long lease, to W.Mutch. Thereupon the latter will, assoon as possible, begin the construe'tion of a fine business block on thetract. It will be modelled on the linesof the Waverly Block at the corner ofHotel and Bethel streets, withta fancyfront. Plans for the building weredrawn about a year ago.

The lot at the corner, occupied by-M-r

Chisholm, is under the controlo' Mr. R. A. Douglas. That gentle-man has planned a building for it onthe lines pf the purposed Camp-

bell block to go in above it Both ofthese plans await the action of theGovernment with respect to streetwidening. Mr. Douglas has agreed toaccept the same number of feet in therear on King street as are taken fromthe Fort street front, which wouldleave his lot the same size as now.luis compromise may be the basis ofthe deal to be effected.

The meaning of all this is that a con-tinuation of splendid stone business

blocks, extending from Wichman's troFort street, down to the corner andaround to the premises of the Metro-politan Meat Co. on King street willbe begin and perhaps finished duringthe present year.

Messrs. Castle & Cooke again havebefore them the matter of erecting ahandsome and more ommodious storebuilding. The present structure Is fartoo small to accommodate the greatvolume of business carried on by theconcern, and the only way out of thedifficulty is to build. As yet plans arebut Indefinitely formed. It has beendecided, however, that the new build-ing will be at least three stories high,and that it will cover the lot now oc-

cupied by the business house. In allprobability the plans will soon be per-

fected, soon after which work will be-

gin.

tention before 1iis death that two mag-nificent brown horses, the best matchedpair in his stables, should be present-ed to Mr. McKinley to ride behind tothe Capitol on Inauguration day, in theevent of his election. The General leftno written will to this effect, but it issaid that his daughter, Mrs. Magoun,who has come Into possession of theestate, will probably carry out herfather's wish and present the horsesto the President-elec- t, and that theywill take their place in the WhiteHouse stable on the 4th of March.

From the Press, TJtica, N. T.

Mrs. Libbie Crumb, the respected

wife of Mr. Maxon Crumb, the farraei

and hop grower, who is so well known

ia the counties of Oneida and Madison,

semis as quite an interesting statement

from her home, near Bridgewater, Nes

York. On account of the high stand

lag of Mrs. Crumb, her communication

is of importance, and may be of ths'greatest value to those who are or ma ,

n& siBiariy situated. She said?TMy name, is Libbie Crumb, I air.

S years old and the wife of MaxotCrumb, a farmer and hop raiser o

Oneida County. For the past 20 yearsI have been a sufferer with disease of

the stomach, due to scrofula, and 1

bad constant dizziness and headachefoe the greater part of my time. I do

know what brought on the scrofu-lous tendency. I do not thinkit is hereditary, as neither myfather nor mother had it. All 1

know is that the physicians pronounces

it scrofula, and several have attendedme, all agreeing in their diagnoses, buttheir treatment gave me very little re-

lief."About one year ago I was in a

worse condition than I ever had reached, and so I abandoned my physiciansand determined to try Dr. TVHHam

Pink Pills. I began at once to exper-

ience marked relltf from their use. 1

only took Pink Pills three weeks, andnot so many of them, either, when

left me, and my stomachbecame perfectly comfortable, and I

could rest well at night, which I hidnot been able to do in years before. In-

deed, I was cured."I consider that Pink Pills are the

only medicine I ever took for scrofulathat did me any good, and I shall al-

ways recommend them to my friend."I make this certificate hoping that

it may be seen by someone else suffer-ing as I was. and I declare the sameto be true in every particular.

Signed LIBBIE CRUMB.Dr. 'Williams Pink Pills are not .1

Police Slu.ot.The last day of the police shoot was

changed from Saturday to this Mondayby Deputy Marshal Hitchcock, captainof the team, for the purpose of allow-ing Captain Fernandes and Officer PInehaka a chance to make up for daysthey have missed.

Lieutenant Chamberlain is finished,having made a score of 3,546 points In87 days, an average of about 40 2-- 3

points. Fernandes has shot 8G roundsand has made 3,432 points. Even if hemakes 50, he cannot catch Chamber-lain.

With Pinehaka, however, it is an-other story. He has 3,425 points, andhas only shot 84 rounds, leaving hima margin of 3. To beat Chamberlainhe will have to make two 41s and one40. Pinehaka i3 a good, steady shot,and will very probably win the policemedal. His average is just a smallfraction higher than that of Chamber- -Iain's.

FROM THE CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT- -

Fernandina, Fla., Feb 2S. 1S96.Mr. J. George Suhrer, Druggist Cit

Dear George: Please send a bottle ofChamberlain's Cough Remedy. I wouldnot feel easy if I knew there was noneof this valuable Remedy in the house.I have given It a fair test and considerit one of the very best remedies forcroup that I have ever found. Onedose has always been sufficient, although I nEe it freely. Any cold mycniiaren contract yields very readilytc this medicine. I can conscientiouslyrecommend it for croup and colds inchildren.

Yours respectfully,GEO. E. WOLFF.
