LETTER FROM GAPT. CAMERON

Bit of Old HistorT DugFrom, the Archives.

Wreck of the Wandering- Minstrel.How Cameron Left Mid-

way Island.

Mr. W. W. Hall has received a let-

ter from Mr. J. M. Harmon, of theSeamen's Institute, Kobe, Japan, say-in- ?

that about a year ago Capt Camer-

on came there with a schooner whichhe sold, leaving: there the crew he hadbrought up. They would seem to havebelonged on Kusaie. One boy died soonafter his arrival. A woman, said tohave been the wife of. the Japanesemate, was taken sick a few weeks ago.and died after a short illness. Thena man named Solomon who roomedwith another named Antone at theInstitute was taken sick, and whensent to the Hospital, was said to havethe smallpox in, an aggravated form.He died after 35 hours illness. ThenAntone was taken sick with the samedisease, and though he had the best oftreatment, soon succumbed to the dis-

ease.

Mr. Harmon wishes the informationconveyed in some way to their friendson Kusaie. He speaks very highly ofAntone as a faithful helper, and ex-

presses his deep regret at these deathsin such a way of all these Kusaieans.

The Capt Cameron rererrea to is.. . , ,. i supposed to oe me some mau iiu a&

me oars: wauaermg Jdinsirei, apu r.D. Walker master, bound for the SouthSeas on a fishing and trading expedi- -uoa-- The vessel stopped at FrenchFrigate shoals for a month, and thenproceeded to Midway Islands, wherethey disembarked and made prepara-tions for a long stay. The Gen. Siegelhad been wrecked at this point a shorttime before, and the Wandering Minstrel went down to rescue one of thecrew who had been left there.

While there Capt. Walker's vesselwent ashore, and jthe ship's company,including Cameron, found themselvesin rather a precarious condition. Therewas nothing left for them to do butwait for something to turn up.

The story told by a sailor on theSiegel was that some time after theylost the vessel a Japanese junk floatedup on the beach.

This was 60 feet long, and was con-

sidered a great prize. Work was atonce begun on fitting it up to carrytheai to the Marshall Islands, 1,600

miles sooth. When all was completethe jnnk was put in the water, but thecastaways found she was not stiffenough, so they utilized two sparsfound on the beach and improvisedthem as outriggers and collected pro-

visions for the voyage. This occupiedthree or four months. The day beforethe time set for sailing, three of theparty went over to a small island nearby for the purpose of securing a lot ofbirds eggs, and, failing to return, arelief party west over to ascertain thecause of the delay, and found that one

the number had killed the othertwo. Tne two dead men were Capt.Aspeline and Second Mate Brown. Themurderer was a sailor named Jorgen-sen and he afterwards admitted thecrime.

As a punishment to the murdererhe was left on the small island, andthe small boat he nsed to go there withAspeline and Brown, his victims, wasdestroyed. But on this lone islandwere several gasoline drums and bitsof wreckage, and these he used to makea raft, and paddle himself over to thelarge island. When tnere he unexpect-edly presented himself at the door ofthe hut, and, seizing a rifle, snapped itat one of the occupants of the house.The gun was not loaded, and no dam-ig- e

resulted. The man was overpow--icred and the next day the party leftfor the Marshall Islands, leaving Jor- -gensen at Midway alone.

The junk reached the Marshall Isl- -'lands in 29 days and the crew were

taken to Honolulu and related their ex-

perience.When this story was communicated

to Capt. Walker he decided to go toMidway and take possession of the isl--

ScrLpSsoiaTSclLuudwne'lSreached the island and found Jorgen-- Isen. in the hut boiling eggs. He was !

told where his shipmates were and j

asked to tell his story, which he did. i

Capt. Cameron and Jorgensen were oldshipmates, and recogniied each otherat once, and soon became friends againduring this visit which lasted a day.The next day it was decided to take C.Jorgensen aboard the bark and puthim to work. But Jorgensen was ahoodoo, and bad luck set in from themoment he came aboard. On FebruaryS, 1SSS the Wandering Minstrel wasblown on the beach and wrecked. Theonly articles saved were some firearmsand ammunition, some cases of fruitand matches.

For the next two months the menbusied themselves building huts andgathering birds' eggs. Jorgensen andCameron continued friends and livedtogether. For a time It was noticedthat some of the men were gettingfish and birds and salting them. As itwas unusual. It began to cause wonder.

The cause was learned early onemorning when the best whale boatand four of the ship's company weremissing. As a heavy storm sprang upabout this time it Is supposed theboat and men were lost.

Efforts were made, and small boatsand rafts constructed with a view totaking the party away, but somethingintervened every time. For a timethe birds disappeared from the Islandand the men were on the verge of star-

vation when a barrel filled with fermented rice washed ashore. This wadried and distributed among the men.

In August, 1SSS, Cameron suggest-

ed fixing up the whale boat and goingto Honolulu, 1,200 miles away, andgetting up a relief expedition. Thiswas acted upon, and Cameron andJorgensen and a Chinese boy left Inthe whale boat. Capt. Walker gave inCameron his compass and everythinghe could spare, but the next day it wasdiscovered that he had taken all thetools they had saved from the wreck.The Walker party waited patiently fora relief expedition, but it never came.Months afterward, when the sailors of ofthe Wandering Minstrel were rescuedby the schooner Norma it was learnedthat Cameron and his party had gone

to the Marshall Islands, 1,500 miles inthe opposite direction, and reportedthemselves as the only survivors of thewreck of the Wandering Minstrel.Cameron afterward got possession of atrading schooner in the South Seas,

and it is supposed this is the same man.

REGULAR WEEKLY MEETING HELD

D. Pringle Will be Em-

ployed Again.

Beretanla School House Will Havoa Lanal Addition Another

Application to Teach.

The regular weekly meeting of theBoard of Education was held yester-day afternoon with President Smith,Mrs. B. F. Dillingham, Mrs. E. W.Jordan, Deputy Inspector Scott, Prof.Alexander, W. A. Bowen and HarryYon Holt present

The "C. D. Pringle matter was thefirst under discussion, and It was fin-

ally decided that the school teacher inquestion be employed by the Boardwhenever there shall be a suitable va-

cancy.An application from Mrs. H. M. Da-

vis, a former resident of Portland, Ore.,for aiposition as teacher in the publicschools of Honolulu, was read andplaced on file.

It was learned through the DeputyInspector that the attendance In thehighest two classes of the NightSchool had diminished quite notice-ably In the last week or so, leavingonly about 20 in all.

Mr. Scott gave It as his opinion thatthe decrease was owing partly to thefact that a number of the members ofthe classes mentioned were employed

various business houses of the citywhere extra help had been found neces-sary, the approach of Christmas natur-ally bringing on brisker trade.

The Board decided to consolidate thekwo classes and to put this resulting

class under Mr. Lightfoot, principalthe Night School.

Mr. Scott called the attention of t"he

Board to the crowded condition of theBeretanla Street School, of which MissMaronl is principal. Every seat inthe school was occupied by the pupils,and, even with this crowding process,there were so many children that itwas necessary to put many out on theveranda. While this was all rightenough In good weather, it was a mostuncomfortable state of affairs duringinclement weather.

Mr. Scott said that he could put uptemporary lanal and close up the side

of the house for less than 100. Sincenew house would probably be built

there soon he could' see no reason whytemporary structure such as he pro-

posed, would not do.The Board heartily endorsed the

move, and Mr. Scott was authorized toproceed at once, the cost of the under-taking not to exceed $100.

Prof. Alexander reported that he hadmade arrangements for the lease of thesmall portion of land that projects intothe larger portion already obtained atPearl City for a school building. TheBoard endorsed his action.

President Smith proposed to theBoard that each of the members takeeach a number of schools of this dis-

trict under his or her supervision andvisit the same once a month. In hisopinion, the work would be much bet-

ter done, and so much labor would notdevolve upon any one or two persons.He did not think that this supervisionwould in any way Interfere with theoflicers of the Board or the commit-tees.

W. A. Bowen If such a thing shouldbe done, could people in the outside dis-

tricts say that the Board was givingall its attention tothe schools of Ho-

nolulu and none to theirs? People saya great many such things.

President Smith According to thatwe must not do anything at all, be-

cause we are afraid of the outside dis-

tricts.H. Von Holt Haven't we our in-

spectors?President Smith Yes, we haye; but

the work is too great, and we mustdivide the burden if we would haveefficiency. The course that I proposewould give the members of the Board

better understanding of the mattersthat come within its jurisdiction.

W. A Bowen, to J. F. Scott Do youthink that you would in any way beinterfered with?

J-- F. Scott No, not at alL

W A. Bowen I think tho plan agood one If for no other reason thanthat It would show the teachers thatthe National Board Is Interested In thework they are carrying on.

Mr. Bowen then broached tho subject of parliamentary law. He had beenused to free and open discussions nbtheregnlar weekly meeting. Would It notbe a good plan to have sonic regularcourse of work which could bo followedat the weekly meetings?

The ladles suggested that there didexist a regular course of work, but thatthe open dlscusstons referred to werea matter of necessity from the verynature of the questions arising fromweek to week and peculiar to educational work.

Mr. Bowen then suggested that Itmight not be a bad plan to require thatthe members of the Board study va-

rious matters under Its jurisdiction,such as position of schools, etc.

President Smith then referred to thegreat-advantag- of personal knowledgeand cited as an example the Board ofHealth. Eeach member was familiarwith the various Institutions under Itsjurisdiction and could speak more In-

telligently than from mere hearsay.Mr. Bowen said that he had been a

member of the Board over a year andduring that time had not visited a sin-

gle school. He had been too busy aman, or at least he thought so. How-

ever, If the Board decided to makethese visits he would find time to go.

It was decided that each member ofthe Board start out with two schoolsa piece. This will probably begin afterthe next meeting.

Prof. Alexander reported that therewere 500 sets of five maps each offeredthe Board at 50 cents a set. It was decided to take half the number, whichwill amount to $123, this to come outof the book fund.

LAND GOMES HIGH

At King and Fort WorthOver a Million an Acre.

Claims Filed by Owners of thoProperty Streets to be

""" Widened.

People who have no land for salehave no idea how real estate has in-

creased in value in the last 20 years.Lots which could have been boughtfor a few dollars are worth as manythousands now, and in some Instancesland that was given away by the oldChiefs Is now bringing in to its own-ers income enough to provide threemeals every day and pie twice a week,

A man really does not appreciatethe value of land until he comes tobuy It, and on the other hand, onewho has land and wants to sell doesnot realize its worthlessness until heputs it on the market.

The Government, on the request o'property owners on Fort street, hasagreed to widen .that street from thecorner of King to Wichman's store.Last week the claims for damages re-sulting from such widening were received in the Interior Office from JamesCampbell, trustees of the ExcelsiorLodge, L 0. O. F., S. and T. S. Doug-lass and B. Cartwright, the Douglassand Cartwright property being the cor-

ner at present occupied by Chlsholm "as

a harness shop.The area of this Douglass-Cartwrig- ht

lot Is given as S41 square feet, and thewidening will require the slicing offof 78 square feet from the frontage and2L3 from the King street side. Thevalue of the lot is placed at $15,000,and the damage sustained by the own-ers Is fixed by them at $3,055.65. Thenthere will be damage to the magnifi-cent Nor-we- st building, which standsthere as a monument to antiquity,amounting to $350.

It is not believed that either T. S.Douglass or Bruce Cartwright wereaware that they were the owners ofsuch a valuable piece of real estateuntil they were Invited to send in theirclaim for damages. ' It was then theybegan figuring the thing out on theircuffs and found that the prospects ofannexation had sent the value of theirproperty skywards, and that if theyowned an acre of land, Instead of thecorner, it would be worth, $1,347,939.3,and when the claim reached the officeChief Clerk Hassinger sighed a sighand took the train for "The Hermit-age."

The Odd Fellows have in their lot 3,-7- 83

square feet, and the amount to betaken Is 394 feet, 1 inch, and the extentof damage to land and building Is $13,-31- 5.

The value of the lot is given at$10,000.

Mr. Campbell says he does not knowthe area of his lot, but fixes the dam-ages at $7,730.

Court of Inquiry.The Court of Inquiry, appointed to

investigate last Saturday's shoot forthe Marlln trophy, met at mllitanrheadquarters last night. The sessionlasted until after midnight, duringwhich time men from Companies D,B, F, E and G gave testimony. The

court was made up of Lleut.-Co- l. Fish-

er, president; Capts. Schnofer andSmith, members; and Lieut. Kenake,recorder. A decision was reached, butthis had to bo first submitted to Col.McLean before- - publication, and socould not be obtained.

DREDGER DOINGS.

Work csn Near laciilc .Mull

Wharf Yoterdnv Noon.Shortly after noon yesterday the

steam dredger was set to work betweenthe Pacific Mall wharf and the King'sboat house deepening the harbor forthe admission of foreign steamersalongside wharves that wtll be built assoon as possible. The work will con-

tinue day and night, and the dredging?obtained will be used to fill In thatportion of low land just Walkikl ofthe Fish Market.

Coral Is the substance that the dredg-

er will have to work on for the mospart, and for that reason the work willnot progress as rapidly as It did onthe other side, when It was a questionof mud.

Capt Smith says that he will be ableto make about six fleets a day, whereashe made eight on the other side.

Today men will set'at work taking10 feet off the Walkikl end of the. Pa-

cific Mall wharf, so as to have It inlino with the continuation of thewharf that will be built up towards thsFish Market.

A CHICKEN'S A BIRD.

Therefore Twenty-fiv- e Cents asExit Fee is All Required.

"A chicken Is a bird and so Is agoose," said the Port Surveyor to Capt.Paul Smith of the dredger yesterdaymorning. "Therefore, you need onlypay 25 cents to get one through thegate of the Pacific Mall wharf."

These remarks arose on a complaintmade by Smith to the effect that hehad been charged 50 cents for each oneof the bantam chickens he had boughtfrom a Chinaman on the P. M. S. S.China. The Custom House officers hadalways understood that chickens wereto be assessed a half dollar, but nowthat the Port Surveyor has called"chickens" "birds" there will no longerbe any mistake and 25 cents will be thecharge in the future.

Capt. Smith took out three chickensand got back 75 cents after he had madehis complaint.

The Board of Health met at 3 p. m."Wednesday. President "W. O. Smith inthe chair. There were present Messrs.'Reynolds, Lansing, Brown, Keliipio,Drs. "Wood, Monsarrat, Alvarez, How-ard, Day and Emerson.

The minutes were read and approved,and Dr. Monsarrat reported inspectionof 159 bullocks killed at the slaughteriouse. Under the act to mitigatethere were 61 examinations reported.The decrease in the number being at-

tributed to the fact that several hadieen taken off the list.

W. G. Irwin & Co., agents for one ofthe Japan steamship companies, wroteto inquire relative to the double ex-

amination of Japanese emigrants forthis port The managers of the steam-ship company requests that the inspec-tion be confined to Yokohama on ac-

count of the double expense and inter-ference with working of cargo. Dr.Eldredge, medical inspector, wrote theBoard in a similar strain, but addedthat he would continue the inspectionat Kobe, so long as the smallpoxscourge continues there. It was thesense of the Board that the inspectionof emigrants at Tokohama who cameirom Kobe, destined for Hawaii, would"be necessary, in view of the prevalenceof contagious diseases in Japan ports.Dr. Eldredge, chief medical inspector,will be instructed to modify these reg-ulations as soon as in his judgment thecondition of affairs will justify

Smith announced that theExecutive Council approves of the ideaof sending a delegate to the Congressof Leprologists, which meets in Ber-gen, Xorway, provided the Congresslias the support of other Governments.

The president reported that the tripto Molokai by the Board was success- -

wful in every way. He said they had'found evidence of improvement in va

rious ways, notably the boys' home,which, under the able management ofBrother Dutton, he institution was onewhich the Board could feel proud of.The girls' home was found in good condition, but in need of a boiler for heat-ing purposes. Executive Officer Reynolds was instructed to inquire as tothe cost of such a boiler. He alsoasked the Board to authorize the construction of a butcher shop at Kalaupapa. A petition, signed by a numberof lepers at the settlement relative tocertain reforms, was read and someof the clauses acted upon favorablyand others declined. Another petitionasking vfor the removal of Supt. R. W.Myers and his assistant was denied.Another petition from the Y. P. S. C. E.of the settlement relative to the mak-ing of liquor by lepers was read. Asthe law is already on the statutes re-garding distilling liquors, the matterwas not discussed. Adjourned.

SMALL JARMERSThe Advance W Mm in

Hawaii.

Has Bought Land In OJaa SaysTwenty More Will

Settle Here

. A gentleman from Butte, Montana,jjslled at this office last night and re-

lated his experience in securing infor-mation about Hawaii.

"I've been trying for a year and aialf to get some information concern-ing these Islands, but never could getan answer to the letters I sent to peoplehere. I don't know why this should beif the people down here want Ameri-cans to settle on the Islands.

In California they are posted, be-cau-se

they have two or three lines ofsteamers, but inland, anywhere backfrom the coast, the knowledge the peo-ple have of the Islands is nil. I am oneof twenty or more who wanted to comedown and go into farming, but the trou-ble was to secure information. May beI didn't write to the proper person, buthow are people over there to knowwho the proper person is if it is not ad-vertised? "Why, in the States, whenthey want a State or Territory settled,

very county paper has an ad in ittilling who to write to for informationconcerning iL

"The only way I could get anythingabout Hawaii was to write to somegentlemen whose names I saw in anewspaper in connection with a visit"here. I received an answer from oneof the gentlemen on November 5, andhis report was so favorable to the Isl-ands that I arranged to leave at once.I arrived here on the last Miowera, anda few days later went to Hawaii andbought 150 acres of land in two tractsin the Olaa district, about at the 20-m- ile

posL"I found Olaa the garden spot of cre-

ation, and I know the rest of the partywill settle there as soon as I can gettime to write them of what I have seen.Just think of it! "When I left home wehad already experienced two blizzards,and I find here, in December, a regular

climate. So far asthe soil of Olaa is concerned, I believeit will grow anything for stock, and the

coffee Js promising. I savr trees buttwo years out of the jiursery with ber-ries well developed, and young appletrees in bearing, with the fruit almostripe.

"The trouble is, the in theNorth, where they freeze up for ninemonths in the year and spend the otherthree thEwing out, don't know Hawaiiand the rossibilitles for tb small far-mer or tl'f coffee grower. I have boughtvirgin la-- s 'I because men in Olaa whowan. to sell ask too much for the im-provements they have made, and I havedone too much of that sort of work notto know what it costs. To me it seemsthat the Government is making a greatmistake in not disseminating literaturedescriptive of Hawaii. I do not think itwould be long, estimating the value ofone white settler as-- equal to two Asi-

atics, before the Americans would havenothing to fear from that class of peo-ple The settlers with small meansare ready to come, all they ask for isinformation."

SUGAR-MAKIN- G EXPERIMENT.

EAGLE, Wis., Oct 24. The Wiscon-sin sugar beet refinery" of this county,the only establishment of the kind inthe northernwest, has opened its doorsfor the manufacture of sugar from 10,-0- 00

acres of sugar beets, grown from acar load of seed imported from Franceby Waukesha county farmers. Thebeets are being delivered at the rateof 1,500 wagon loads per week, andthe outcome of the experiment is await-ed with interest by growers and dealersof Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Michiganand Kansas.

The shipments of sugar from theSandwich Islands to the United Statesfor the first six months of 1S96 amount-ed in value to ?S,74S,526. Of thisamount 53,046,368 in value was sentaround Cape Horn to our Atlanticports, showing that the Pacific ports,notwithstanding their greater nearness,no longer enjoy a monopoly of theHawaiian sugar export trade. Phila-delphia Record.

Great Britain and Australia are theonly islands which exceed Cuba innatural resources. "When not wastedby war Cuba' produces, with a largeshare of her soil untouched, 20,000,000worth of sugar and tobacco annually,besides the products of orchards andforests, rivers and mountain mines.

The total beet sugar production ofGermany amounted, in 1S94-9- 5, to 00

cwts.; in 1893-9- 4, to 27,600,000cwts.; and in 1S92-9- 3, to 24,500,000 cwts.

Tropic OILFor Engines and Cylinders

THIS IS THE OIL that Plantation Engineers are calling for.

19 Sugar MillsAre using the TROPIC Engine and Cylinder Oils, and we have yet tohear of a case where It has not given perfect satisfaction.

The TROPIC is a pure, unadulterated lubricator, and is fully war-

ranted to be of the highest possible grade and to give first-cla- ss

satisfaction in every particular. 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 sellin original packages, barrels or cases. The great success that theTROPIC OIL has met with, during the past season,' ought certainlyto recommend it for use in every Sugar Mill.

"We have just received ex Bark "Edward May" a fresh supply fromCleveland, and can supply Immediately, or at any time specified, anyquantity required.

HALL'S ALUMINUM CANE KfflYESAre being used on TWENTY-SEVE- N PLANTATIONS. They are madeby H. Disston & Sons of Philadelphia, and are acknowledged bythem to be the best knives they ever turned out. They are madeof .Aluminum Steel, with Apple-woo- d handles, secured with fourrivets, and hang easier in the hand, when in use, than any other CaneKnives. The fact that the cane cutters prefer these knives to all others,because they do not tire their hands, and they can do much more work

- in a day, is sufficient guarantee of their superiority.We have just received over a hundred dozen from the Factory,

and can supply Plantations now or at any time during the comingseason. Plantations that have not yet tried them, should send fora sample lot, and give them a trial. We have them with the hookand without.

BRISK AND TO THE POINT.

While the committee having incharge the compiling of necessarydocuments to state the objects ofthe Annexation Club is composedof men fully competent to accom-

plish the task in a satisfactorymanner, the suggestion comingfrom several members that brev-

ity characterize the declaration ofprinciples is certainly a good one.

Tle day has gone by when a longline of whys and wherefores meets

- with popular approval. Whenmen are banded together in apopular movement they preferthat their object shall be set forthin as clearly outlined form as pos-

sible. It was only a few years agothat one of the political partiesof Massachusetts formulated itsplatform in a series of short andpointed paragraphs, the idea be-

ing that it would receive morestudied attention in these dayswhen people read on the run andare not inclined to spend the timeto peruse ponderous documents.

For a platform, the resolutionpresented by General HartwellFriday evening expresses the sit-

uation about as clearly as anydocument that has been penned.The qualification for membershipneed consist of nothing more thangood standing as a citizen coupledwith an earnest desire to accom-- .

plish at an early day the annex-ation of Hawaii to the UnitedStates. Nothing in the shape ofdrawing lines on nationality, pre-

vious or present political affilia-

tion, should figure in the require-ments "of membership. Annexa-tion is a common ground on whichevery citizen or clan can meet andjoin in an aggressive work toreach a glorious end. Side issuesor a waste of words are not want--

ed in any department of the an-

nexation campaign. State theprinciples, state the requirementsin no lengthy, ambiguous forms;place the flat proposition beforethe people and there will be nopossible opportunity for request-ing an explanation of what thisphrase or that sentence means.Then the rank and file can readtheir title clear and wavering out-

siders will have no excuse to hag-

'More advertising for Hawaii"is a string that has been harped onfor yearsj and every day bringsnew evidence that more vigoroustwanging is needed in order thatsomething may be accomplished tosatisfy the appetite for informationpossessed by many capable men ofthe United States. One of the re

ave for aitropical couutjyLwe:iaiow of .nothing that reflects more

absolute and complete discredit up-

on the people here than the factthat American farmers have to go

chasing about as for a needle in a

hay stack to find out wh'at sort ofplace this is. Chance meeting withglobe trotters is practically what we

are depending on to tell the peopleeast of the Rocky mountains thatHawaii is a country where Ameri-

can farmers are wanted aye, andwhere they are needed. The apa-

thy of the Anglo-Saxo- n citizens to-

ward spreading information abroadis coming to the point that makes

the situation almost dangerous.

Just now there is considerable

agitation over, the increase of Ori-

entals. People ask, rWliat are weeoing to do about it?" Then theyread up on our national treaties,and either leave the question un-

answered or propose some impos-

sible scheme for abrogating thisconvention or that treaty. There is

just one thing to do in the presentemergency bring Anglo-Saxon-s

to the country, and more particu-larly Anglo-Saxon-s of the UnitedStates. Some one asks, fHow shallwe bring them?" Certainly not bywhispering in some tourist's earthat Anglo-Saxon-s are needed, cer-

tainly not by sitting around likedummies and wishing ''"'things weredifferent." American farmers arenot Trilbys and can't be hypno-tized, but give them the informa-tion and they know a good oppor-

tunity when they see it or can readof it.

Pessimists swear and assert thatAmerican farmers will not come;"they have better advantages athome." This may be true, but noone has yet proved it. !New settlersin the coffee districts are not wailing to go home again. If the pes-

simistic, can't-be-do- ne idea is torule the" Anglo-Saxo- n population,perhaps after all it will be just aswell for colonies of Japanese stu-

dents to land frpni Oriental steam-

ers. Old fashioned, self interestedcranks say American farmers willnot come; careful students of thesituation say they must be brought.And American farmers will comeif an effort of average force is

made to place the agricultural pos-

sibilities of the country beforethem.

The Government is now prepar-ing a valuable pamphlet of infor-

mation, of which several thousandcopies are to be distributed. Makethat number one million copies andconfine the distribution to theUnited States, then the pamphletswill be heard from. If the numberis limited by the Government ap-

propriation, the business communi-ty ought to take the matter inhand. When the usefulness of thisdocument wanes, get out anotherone; but whatever may be themethod of procedure, keep everlastingly at it, bring Americans toHawaii. In this manner and in thismanner only will the mooted ques-

tion of how to put new lands in thehands of proper parties, how to im-

prove the population of the coun-

try, be settled.

A PERPETUAL CALEXTAR.

The decidedly interesting andotherwise valuable invention, theperpetual calendar, which Audi-

tor General EL Laws has recentlypublished, is a novelty that willdoubtless attract more than pass-

ing notice from those who take aninterest in figuring up in justwhich position Father Time haslanded the days of the year in thepast and how he will arrangethem in the future. Mr. Laws hascompiled a system by which canbe found he calendar for anyyear, and the day of the week' forany date from the beginning- - ofthe Chirstian era to the end oftime.

Many "perpetual" calendarshave been devised heretofore, butall that have come to general no-

tice have been defective "in. twoimportant particulars; the first ofthese is that they have cove'redfonly... -

a limited portion of time.fcj

and that since 1752, during whichyear the change was made fromthe Julian or old system of reck-

oning time, to the Gregorian sys-

tem which is now in use. The sec-

ond defect of many other perpet-ual calendars is that their use hasinvolved following out of suchcomplicated "directions'' that thetrouble and time taken to find outwhat one is looking for are sogreat, and the liability of er,ror solarge, as to do away entirely withthe utility of the scheme. This cal-

endar obviates both of these diff-

iculties by extending over all timefrom the beginning of the Christ-ian era, and by placing at thesearcher's disposal the calendarof the entire year looked for, sothat immediately the day of theweek for any date of that year isdetermined.

Besides the results indicated bythe title, the calendar gives im-

mediate answers to a number ofother interesting questions, such,for instance, as: When was thelast time that February had fiveSundays, and when will this oc-

cur again? When will the daysof the week recur again on thesame days of the year as in 1S9G?

Show that no future century willbegin on either Sunday, Wednes-day or Friday.

The calendar is certainly a cu-

rious and ingenious compilation,and cannot fail to entertain andedify. At the same time, there ismuch that is practical in a systemwhich gives dates correctly with-

out necessitating the unravellingof a mass of figures quite unsur- -

mountable to the every day individual with little aptitude at fig-

uring outside the principles ofpercentage. In the countingroom.the court room, and in schools acalendar of ready reference whichsweeps from the beginning to theend is quite a valuable if not anecessary accessory. Comprehen-

siveness and simplicity are thetwo vital requirements which Mr.

Laws has apparently masteredwith a hijrh degree of success.

CONTINUE FORT STREET "WIDEN-

ING.

Xow that the Government is be-

ginning the task of widening Fortstreet, a petition is being circu-

lated to have the excellent workcontinued to Beretania street. Un-

less there is some unusual barrierin the way unknown to thp gen-

eral public, we can see no reasonwhy this petition should not begranted, and Fort street fromKing to Beretania laid out on thenew lines proposed in the actpassed by the last Legislature.Very seldom is it that much isgained by carrying on public im-

provements piece meal, doing alittle here and a little there andleaving a good deal uncompleted.The prospective erection of newbuildings on the Campbell property has possibly done something tohurry on the widening processfrom the Wichman store to Kingstreet But why should the im-

provements stop there? Two newblocks are already in process oferection mauka of Hotel streetThis, means that the business cen-

ter is steadily moving mauka wardon Fort street, consequently notime should be lost to put thatportion near the business blocksin such a condition that two draysand a tramcar will not completelystop traffic, as is possible at thepresent time.

Further than this ,the appear-ance of the street ought to countfor something. With the two newstone front buildings going up onthe new street line, the Chinesetin can shanties"are left to occupythe positions 'of prominence, andgood, new,' substantial buildingsbidden from view. Then acain.with one store on the old line andanother on the new, the generaloutline 'of tho street will put tosliame a Boston alley. If buildingimprovements in the business cen-te- r

are to continue, there ought tobe a promptfmovement made toestablish the new lines and make

one complete sweep along the en-

tire street. Put the small woodenbuildings back where they belongand it will not be many monthsbefore capital will be found to re-

place them with more substantialstructures. The Legislature hasmade all the necessary laws andappropriated the necessary funds,and the laws cannot be put intoeffect too rapidly to suit the busi-

ness community.

MUSIC BOX FU.NTV

For some reason the usualChristmas concert for the unfor-tunates at the leper settlement isto be omitted this year. This feat-ure of the holiday season will bemissed, since it was always' apleasure for the people of the cit-t- o

give something toward makingthe holidays brighter for thosemen and women forever shut outfrom the world. While the Hono-

lulu concert is not forthcoming,word has been received that a mu-

sic box will'be one of the most ac-

ceptable Christmas presents thatcould be received at the settle-ment The principal call seems tobe for music, and though manymight consider that some otherinstrument than a. music boxwould be more appropriate, it isnot a matter for people here topass judgment upon.

This paper 'is only too glad toopen its columns for raising apopular subscription fund of suchsize that the people at the settle-ment shall have their wishes grat-

ified on Christmas day. The musicbox will probably cost somethingover 100, although if the sumraised be less, an instrument to fitthe funds can be obtained. Weare fortunately able to open thelist with 15, the sum left overfrom the leper band fund raisedby Capt Cochrane, which willstart the ball rolling, and if is

hoped that those who have a lit-

tle money to give for helping tomake a happier Christmas at theleper settlement will be heardfrom promptly. Only a few weeksnow remain before Christmasweek. Send' in subscriptions tothe "Music Box Fund," Advertiseroffice, and as soon as the requisitefunds are obtained the music boxwill be purchased and forwarded.

When Jules Verne's "Aroundthe World in Eighty Days" be-

In another column is given a

pre-electi- review of the Ameri

can beet sugar industry, by Her-

bert Myrick, editor of the Ameri

can Agriculturalist. !M"r. Myrick is

a rather visionary individual who,

iust previous to the --election of

1S92, started a scheme whereby theAmerican Agriculturalist was to

take Western farmers into partner

ship and start a giganticbeet sugar corporation all

through the West. The scheme

never saw daylight, in consequence

of the timely interference of Chas.

E. Buckland, a gentleman who

during the ?80s was a Honolulu

editor. But notwithstanding !Mr.

Hyrick's visionary tendencies, he

is in a position to keep in close

touch with American promoters of

the beet sugar industry, and inview of the possibilities followingAlclvinley's election, the expansion

of beet sugar manufacture is a'busi-nes-s

proposition that touches prettyclose to Hawaii.

It now appears that the officers

who assisted Dr.- - Jameson in hisTransvaal raid and now share im-

prisonment with him have not beendismissed outright from the Britisharmy. They have been permittedto ask for their discharge, and con-

sequently retin full right to pen-

sion, etc. Those not prosecutedhave only been censured. GreatBritain seems to be following theplan of some railroad corporations,who discharge employees on whomrests the responsibility for a seriousaccident, and after the popular fu-

rore has quieted down hire themover again. Possibly Great Britainwould not have raised serious ob-

jections had Dr. Jameson been suc-

cessful.

One of the latest magnificentaccessories to the HawaiianTramways system is the old fash-ioned strip-leathe- r whip, whichvarious drivers flourish with dex-terity second only to a mountainmule teamster. Not only is thewhip plied unceasingly on thebacks of the Tramwaj-'- s mules,but it is too often flourished aboutin a manner to strike across thebacks of passengers patiently"waiting within the car for thebroken down affair to make itsusual mile an hour. Not only this,the whip also comes in contactwith horses passing the car, andaggravates the attack of nervousprostration which every healthyhorse experiences when forced topass a tramcar. It looks as thoughthe apology for a tramcar wasplastered upon this communityfor some time to come, but the

IT IS REPUBLICAN

Lower House in United

States Congress.

Senate Probably Democratic ButWill be Close Sound

Money All Right.

The New York Tribune sizes up thecomplexion of the Fifty-fift- h Congressas follows:

Late returns from the States beyondthe Mississippi, indicating the captureby the' Bryan and Fusion forces of oneor two additional seats in the UnitedStates Senate, threaten to limit the Re-publican and sound-mone- y strength inthe upper branch of Congress afterMarch 4 next to a bare quorum. TheLegislatures in Washington, Kansasand Missouri are now conceded to showworking Popocratic pluralities, whilethe political complexion of the SouthDakota Legislature is still doubtful.California and North Dakota will re-

turn Republican Senators. Delaware'sLegislature is admitted to be Demo-cratic, which means that a DemocraticSenator will be sent to Washington topress a claim to the seat vacated byAnthony Higgins on March 4, 1895.In North Carolina it is not yet appar-ent what forces will control the nextLegislature, but it is more than likelythat the Republican-Populi- st fusion onlegislative candidates has been suc-cessful, and that Mr. Pritchard or some

I

other Republican will be chosen asChairman Marion Butler's colleague.

Though the Republican side in theSenate has received a material

as a result of Tuesday's elec-

tions, its strength had been so reducedby the deserting silver or nothing con-tingent from the mining States that itcan scarcely hope to do more thanmake up for its losses of last June,and reassert a party control of the Sen-ate with the aid of the Vice President's ,

vote. Unless further losses are report-ed

;

from the States still in doubt, theRepublican party vote in the Senateafter March 4 will probably be 45 1 j

short of a majority.The opposition forces are likely to besplit- - up into four factions SoundMoney Democrats, Silver Democrats,Silver Senators pure and simple, andPopulists. The latest returns indicatethat there will be 30 Silver Democratsin the chamber 4 Sound Money Demo-crats, 5 Silver Senators and 6 Popu-lists. If South Dakota and North Car-olina are carried by the Popocratic leg-islative ticket, 1 Silver Democrat and 1Populist will be added to the opposi-tion, which will then be an actual ma-jority. Six of the Senators classed asRepublicans Shoup, of Idaho; Wol-cot- t,

of Colorado; Carterfot Montana;Mitchell, of Oregon, and Clark andWarren, of Wyoming have hereto-fore voted free silver coinage meas-ures, while the four Senators classedas sound-mone- y men, as well as fiveBryan Democrats Messrs.

Or the 90 Senators who will be en-

titled to seats after larch 3, 1897, 5S

hold over from the present Congress.They can be divided politically as fol-

lows: Republicans, 28; Democrats, 20;Sound Money Democrats, 4; Silver Men3; Populists, 3. Thirty-tw- o vacanciesare to be filled from the followingStates: Alabama, Arkansas, Califor-nia, Colorado, Connecticut, 'Delaware,Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, In-

diana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana,"Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New lork.North Carolina, North Dakota, SouthDakota, Utah, Vermont, Washingtonand Wisconsin. Republican Senatorshave succeeded themselves already inIowa and Vermont, and two additionalseats have been gained in Ohio andMaryland by the choice of J. B. For-ak- er

and George L. Wellington tq suc-

ceed Calvin S. Brice and C. H. Gibson.Democratic Senators have also beenchosen in Mississippi and Louisiana tosucceed Democrats. In Kentucky thepresent Legislature, which is to choosea successor to J. C. S. Blackburn, hasnow a Republican majority of 2, andought to be able to elect a Republicannext winter at Frankfort In these 6

States it is now apparent that thepresent Republican representationwill be maintained California, Con-

necticut, New Hampshire, North Da-

kota, Pennsylvania and Oregon. Dem-

ocrats will succeed Democrats in these6 States: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,Georgia, Missouri and South Carolina.Populist Senators will probably be re-

turned from Nevada and Kansas.In New York, Indiana, Illinois and

Wisconsin 4 Republicans will replaceMessrs. Hill, Voorhees, Palmer andVilas. In Washington a silver Senator,Squire, will be succeeded by a Demo-crat. Colorado will return Senator Tel-

ler, and another silver man will replaceBrown, a straight Republican, in Utah.Dubois, a silver Senator, will probablybe dispossessed in Idaho in favor of aPopulist.

The Democratic side will gain a seatin Delaware the one from which Col.Dupont was excluded last spring by aclose vote in the Senate. If South Da-

kota's Legislature is Republican thePopulists will lose the seat which Mr.Kyle now holds. North Carolina wiilprobably return a Republican in theperson of Pritchard, the sitting Senat-or. As a result of Tuesday's election,therefore, "the Republican side hasmade a net gain of 6 seats, which, con-sidering the unusual conditions pre-vailing in many Western States, is anachievement of the most creditable andsubstantial sort.

The following table will show themake-u- p of the Senate after March 4next:

GREAT UNKNOWN

One of the Best Plays inFrawley's Repertoire.

Several Artists Score Hits-Thea- tre

Crowded From Stageto Doors.

"The Great Unknown" is. to theFrawleys, one of the best drawing com-

edies in the repertoire. Its productionin Honolulu was not an exception tothe rule elsewhere, for there was nota vacant seat at the New HawaiianOpera House last night when the cur-

tain rose on the first act. There wereseveral theater and box parties, amongthem one at which President and Mrs.Dole were host and hostess.

There is so little pathos in the playthat it is entirely lost in the avalancheof comedy which prevails. Trueenough there are parts where one couldnot laugh without disturbing hisneighbors, but the play is not sug-

gestive of a single sob. It treats of awoman whose mission, to her, is to in-

flict a lot of novels and stuff which shedignifies with the name of poetry up-

on the public. So impressed is shewith the belief that she is a great writ-er that she neglects her family, conisisting of a husband and two younggirls, and finally goes to Europe, whereshe will be able to pursue her art in amore refining atmosphere.

Besides, the Jarraway family just re-

ferred to. there are two or three malelovers, one female ditto and a dearold aunt of the latter, who proves acapital matchmaker. Then there arethe usual servants and stage appur-tenances.

As Jeremiah Jarraway, the fatherof the two girls and husband of theGreat Unknown, Harry Corson Clarkebore much of the burden of the play.If almost constant laughter on thepart of the audience is a criterion bywhich his acting is to be judged, Mr.Clarke made a decided hit. His sceneswith the young widow, with whom heimagines he is infatusted, were clever.Again, in the last act, where he meetshis wife, the Alpha to his Omega intheir married lives, after an interval ofthree years, this young actor had un-limited scope to exhibit his capabili-ties as a comedian.

Dignified Blanche Bates, in the character of a hoiden, was a metamor-phosis. The Honolulu theater-goer- shave accustomed themselves to seeingher, if not always, as the womanlywoman, at least at the stage of lifewhere all thoughts of romp and non-sense have been outgrown. The suc-cess achieved by Miss Bates in theother roles she has essayed was re-peated last night as Etna, the tomboy.From first, where she meets her fath-er after playing hooky from her stud-ies, to the very last where, throughher suddenly discovered love for acousin who has been away for yearsand juset returns, her acting was char-acterized by that completeness of easeand grace which has won for her theplaudits of the audiences which havefilled the Opera House at every per-formance. The meeting with her moth-er, dressed as a new woman with abold suggestion of mannlshness in hermake-u- p was superb. It was in thisscene, too, where little Hope Ross dis-tinguished herself, for she depicted thetomboy with a naturalness of detailthat was surprising. In the first actMiss Ross has a capital scene with Mr.Leslie, her music teacher. Throughoutthe play her acting was excellent andquite beyond criticism; her three bestscenes, however, are those mentioned,and the one in which she and her sis-ter (Miss Bates) read their mother'slatest novel, and go into raptures overthe romantic scenes depicted.

Mr. Worthing, as Ned Dreemer, Et-na's cousin and lover, seemed out ofsorts; there was something in his act-ing which impressed the people with afeeling that he "wished himself some-where else. It may have been the part,but certain it was Mr. Worthing wasnot at his best, nor was his renditionof this character to be compared withthat which he played in the "Two Es-cutcheons." He makes a very goodstage lover, under ordinary circum-stances, but it must be admitted thatthe part in which a vein of humor ruris

: through the lines is better suited to

Mr. Worthing's abilities than thecharacter he played in "The Great Un-known." He was seldom on the stage,except in the lonely love scenes,but what he acted like a man who haddropped in unexpectedly and wishedhe hadn't.

The greatest delineator of old wom-an characters in the United States isMrs. Gilbert. Next to her, In the opin-ion of the critics abroad is Phosa Mc-Allister, who played Aunt Penelope lastnight. Unfortunately for the patronsof ihe theater in Honolulu the reper-toire of the Frawleys has not beensuch that Miss McAllister could beseen to advantage in the roles whichhave made her famous elsewhere. HerAunt Eliza, in "His Wife's Father" wasa dream, both in make-u- p and deline-ation, but there ware not enough to Itto give the public an idea of her artisticcapabilities. The same may be saidof her performance in "The Great

Nowhere but in the lastscene does she have an opportunity todo more than admire the stage set-tings. That she is an actress of abili-ty is acknowledged by every one whohas seen her.

The O'Donnell Don, the part assignedto Mr. Frawley, was in excellent hands.He was the genteel Irish gentlemanwho had followed a widow to Americato tell her of hiis love and restore to hera locket she had lost in the old coun-try. Mr. Frawley's brogue was perfectenough to remind one of the lamentedBoucicault It was not intensely Celticnor was it suggestive of anythingcoarse. The part was not a great one,but Mr. Frawley played it well. '

Mr. Leslie had little to say as themusic teacher, and he said it well. Mr.Bosworth, as Twitters, was in evi-dence mainly from his excellent make-up as a private tutor, and Mr. Eno-3- ,

as the servant, had much too little tosay and do for a man of his talents.

The scene of the play is in the lastact, where Arabella Jarraway, theGreat Unknown, appears a supposedlydelicate flower and a victim to themuse. Anyone who ever read the de-scription of the departure of FrancesHodgsen Burnette from America, thoroughly broken in health after becom-ing famous through "Faunleroy,"would say that Madge Carr Cooke hadbecome so thoroughly imbued withthat famous author's characteristicsthat she lived the scene on the stage.It would be difficult to imagine a betterbit of acting and it would be hard tofind an actress who could as faithfullydepict the character as Miss Cooke.As has been stated in these columnsbefore, Miss Cooke has too little to doin the Frawley repertoire. Miss Row-an, as the widow and aspirant to his-trionic fame, was acceptable as wasMiss Plxley as the French maid.

There are few gourmets In Honoluluwho do not know our Maltes CrossHamsv They are cured expressly for usand are Infinitely better than any otherham on the market for boiling or roasting.This brand of ham Is from selected stockand Is in the plckie a uniform number ofhours. They cost a trifle more than ordi-

If you want to roast one of these hamshere's a good recipe: Put It In cold waterand let it soak over night, then pour offthe water, wipe the ham dry and put ItInto the kettle again, cover with freshwater and boil for three hours. Thentake it out, scrape the rind when cool, putIt into another kettle and pour four pintsof cider over It and then enough water tocover. Put In a bay leaf, cloves, allspiceand cinnamon, and allow it to boil slowlyfor two hours more, never letting the wa-

OPPORTUNITIES FOR FARMERS

Views of a Well KnownAuthority.

Necessary Points to be Considered,

United States Can Crow All

Her Own Sugar.

Bradstreet's.Quite a Doom in the American beet

sugar industry is on at the presenttime. It is caused by the results ofsix years' experience of the beet sugarfactories established under the McKin-le- y

law, though one of these plants (at"Watsonville, Cal.) was begun severalyears before, and has since been great-ly enlarged, while the Alvarado, Cal.,factory struggled along for a dozenyears or more before 1890. ClausSpreckels will pay out about $750,000for the 120,000 tons of beets he willconvert into sugar at the "Watsonvillefactory this year, and for the labor thisinvolves. It is understood that theWatsonville plant paid no net profit until its fourth year, but it is a handsomedividend payer now. The Alvaradomill, the only one of several beet sugarfactories started 15 or 20 years agothat is still in operation, will work upabout 00,000 tons of beets this season.The Chino Valley Beet Sugar Com-pany, at Chino, San Bernardino Coun-ty, will slice about 90,000 tons of beetsduring the present campaign; it is asuperb plant, and made over 10,000tons of refined sugar last year from 83,-0- 00

tons of beets, consuming 80,000 bar-rels of oil under its 2,400 horse-pow- er

-- boilers. Both the latter factories arenow earning good dividends.

In Utah, the large factory at LehiCity, with its appurtenances and 1,000acres of land, built in 1890-9- 1, is equip-ped thoroughout with American ma-chinery. It represents an investmentof ?700,000, all local capital, and willthis season convert 45,000 tons of beetsinto 9,000,000 pounds of granulatedsugar. It made money last year, andwill show a profit this season. NextEast is the new factory at Eddy, inthe Pecos Valley of New Mexico, whichis about to begin making sugar fromcrops grown under favorable condi-tions. Its plant is from jthe failedenterprise at Berthierville, Quebec.

Nebraska has two beet sugar plants,one at Grand Island, the other at Nor-folk, at which about 75,000,000 tons ofbeets will yield some 15,000,000 poundsof refined sugar this season. Last yearthese tivo concerns milled 55,000 tonsand got 8,500,000 pounds of sugar, andshowed a profit for the first time, andwill pay a fair return on the investment this season. A small factorywas operated for several years atStaunton, Va., until it burned 18months since; enough was done towarrant the opinion that "the middleSouth possesses advantages for thebeet sugar industry surpassed only bySouthern California," but with near-ness to market to offset that favoredregion. The Wisconsin Beet SugarCompany, after vexatious delays, ishurrying forward its factory at

Falls, and hopes to turnout sugar by December. Meanwhilethe farmers are ensiloing their beets,having made contracts to grow 2,500acres of beets annually for 10 years.The factory is being equipped through-out with American built machinery.

During the past 10 years sugar beetshave been grown repeatedly in a greatmany places in about all the Statesand Territories West of New England

jand Jfprth of the 35th parallel, in allfsprts of soil and climate. Thousandsof analyses of beets have been madeby the United States Department ofAgriculture and by the various

stations. In some States theexperiment stations have done a re-markably comprehensive work along

t tfiese lines, notably in New York, In-diana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,the Dakotas, Nebraska, Wyoming,Washington, Colorado, Utah and Cal-'iforn- ia.

Over much of this vast area,including also Kentucky, Tennessee,the Virginias, and probably North Car-olina, it has been conclusively shownthat beets of proper quality can begrown in profitable quantities sufficientto fully supply any number of well lo-

cated sugar facorties that is to say,ID to 20 tons per acre of beets containing 12 to IS per cent or more ofsugar, with an average coefficient ofpurity of SO per cent or above that

Arrangements are under way for alarge expansion of the beet sugar in-dustry. Mr. Claus Spreckels has or-dered the outfit for a mammoth mil!in the Salinas Valley, Monterey Coun-ty, California, for which he requiredguarantee that at least 22,500 acres of

'beets would be grown annually for fiveiyears, indicating a plant with a capaci- -ttyfof upward of 300,000 tons of beets.Mr. Spreckels declares, as a result ofhis experience with beets in the Gol-den State and with his monopoly ofthe cane sugar industry of Hawaii: "Imay not live to see the day, but young-er men will see that in 10 years thebeet sugar industry will be the great-est industry in California, and Cali-fornia will be the greatest sugar pro-ducing State in the Union. It is theonly profitable thing left for the farm-er. He can't get into it too soon."

At least three other beet sugar factories ior uaiuornia are so far projected as to appear almost assured; '

tion that "protected sugar is a betterproposition free silver.'VTghePecos Valley people their --wil-

Xliniess to put 1,000,000 into sugarfactories in that locality. A plant atBowling Gr(een, Ky., and one at le,

Ind., are in prospect Wis-consin has one factory' quite definitelyassured. Central New York capital-

ists have an option on the only beetsugar factor- - in Canada at Farnham,Quebec which It is proposed to estab-lish in the Mohawk Valley. Any num-ber of factory propositions are in em-

bryo, and many enterprising towns allover the country are planning to pushfor a beet sugar factory.

Much depends upon State and na-

tional legislation. McKinley's electionwill be taken as insurance of reason-able protection against foreign compe-tition, and will be followed by therapid development of the industry.Even if Bryan is elected, it is possiblethe development may not be whollyarrested, at least in California.

Under favorable conditions, Wiscon-sin and Iowa will follow Nebraska inoffering a bounty (payable to the beetgrowers) on all sugar produced frombeets raised within the State. NewYork and Minnesota are likely to do asmuch; perhaps other States also. Ne-

braska now pays 5-- 8c per pound, equalto about ?1 on the ton of beets. Utahpaid lc per pound during the first twoyears of the Lehi factory.

Europe, especially Germany, has de-

veloped her beet sugar industry byan elaborate system of protectionagainst foreign competition, internaltaxation to encourage beet plantersand sugar manufacturers, and substan-tial rebates and bounties upon all sug-ars exported. Europe is not contentwith shipping to this country 80 timesas much sugar now as 15 years ago,but to still further monopolize theAmerican market, Germany has justincreased her export bounty, andFrance is likely to do the same. Thosenations are willing to go to almostany extreme to discourage the sugarindustry in this country, so as to preserve for themselves the Americanmarket the greatest market for sugarin the world.

Moreover, it usually takes two tofour years for a beet sugar factory toget well established, because of smallsupplies of beets until farmers havelearned how to grow them. This hasbeen the experience of all our nowsuccessful factories. But when the artis once acquired farmers find beets at?4 to ?G per ton one of the most profit-able crops, paying 510 to ?25 per acrenet profit above all expenses of pro-duction. (Corn and wheat hardly paycost of production, let alone profit. Anacre of corn, 40 bushels at 30c, willbuy 200 pounds of sugar; it will pro-

duce 2,000 to 3,000 pounds of sugar inbeets.) A dozen or 20 years ago thebeet sugar factories at Portland, Me.;Franklin, Mass., and Wilmington, Del.,failed because they couldn't get beets.At that time other crops were moreprofitable, farmers were not interestedas at present, and they had no successful experience in this country toprofit by. The immense investmentrequired for a beet sugar factory isidle about two-thir- of the year; thishas to be insured against also.

This nation paid $70,000,000 for im-

ported sugar in 1879. In 1894 oursugar imports cost us nearly $125,000,-00- 0.

We consume two and three timesas much sugar per capita (65 pounds)as Europe. The total quantity used is,therefore, certain to enormously in-

crease from year to year. The world'ssupply of sugar now comes more large-ly from beets than from cane. TheUnited States produces about 300,000tons of sugar in a favorable seasonnow, one-ha- lf more than a decadeago, but our annual imports are ap-

proaching the 2,000,000-to- n mark.Beets are a comparatively sure crop

and yield more sugar per acre thandoes cane in Louisiana. The books ofone of the best equipped Louisianaplantations and sugar factories, com-pared with the records of the Chinobeet sugar enterprise for five yearspast, prove the latter to be the betterproposition. But there is plenty ofroom for both sugar cane (within itslimited environment) and the sugarbeet (on its broader field) until theUnited States produces all the sugar itconsumes. To do this will require atleast 750 more factories, several mil-lion acres of land (crop rotation isnecessary), a vast amount of labor andan immense investment of capital. Itwill mean large business for our ma-chine shops, enormous annual tonnagefor railroads, wealth and prosperity forfarmers, putting into the pockets ofAmerican farmers, laborers and capi-

talists the $100,000,000 now paid outeach year for imported sugar.

In view of the probability that anumber of beet sugar enterprises willbe offered to investors, certain pointsare important:

First The factory must be assuredof a certain supply of beets of goodquality. Even if pledges of an abun-dance of beets are forthcoming, theyare of little value unless it has beendetermined by actual experiment uponthe lands in question that they willproduce beets of proper quality aswell as quantity. At least two or threeyears' tests are usually necessary todetermine this beyond a doubt. Fort-unately, such tests have been made al-

ready in a large number of places. Toomuch stress cannot be laid on gettingplenty of rich beets.

Second. The beets should he grownas near the factory as possible; a haulof 50 to 100 miles absorbs much of theprofit on the crop. There should besufficient beet land available within areasonable distance to furnish the de--sired quantity of beets when only one-thir- d

of such land is sown to beets,thus permitting a wise rotation ofcrops. Beets can be grown year afteryear on the same land, but it is notgood agricultural practice.

Third. A successful factory requiresan almost unlimited supply of purewater, good and cheap lime, also fuel,while facilities for getting the sugar tomarket are important

Fourth. The best talent and the bestmachinery are the cheapest in startingor operating a sugar factory.

Bart Biamonl Heafl Has Been

'CAPTAIN WARD'S SPLENDID WORK

Will be Made Ai Vesselr' in San Francisco.

Something About What Has BeenDone-Cab- in Accommodations

of Very Tinest Kind.

It was not many weeks ago when

the British bark Gainsborough was

towed into port from a perilous posi-

tion off Diamond Head in a condition

which gave but little promise of herever being able to travel the high seas

again, but S. C. Allen bought her andplaced her in the hands of Capt. Ward,formerly of the American barkentineAmelia, who stands foremost in theranks of men known as "hustlers."

Capt Ward had a very hard jobstaring him in the face which was none

less than to refit and make as good asnew a most unpromising looking craft.The task was one that many would

have laid aside as useless, but Capt..

Ward went to work with characteristicenergy, and the present appearance ofthe vessel speaks but one word suc-

cess.The old steering gear with its both-

ersome tiller has been done away withand a new screw has veen put in. Newropes take the place of the old run-ning gear. The sails have been thor-oughly overhauled and a new mainsail,foresail, royal and other sailsx havebeen put in. The masts, the yards;in fact, every part of the vessel hasundergone the same careful overhaul-ing.

The cabins are a surprise. They areextra large larger, perhaps, than thoseof any vessel calling at this port. AUthough bare at present, they will bebeautifully furnished upon arrival inSan Francisco. There is ample foomfor the accommodation of from 12 to 15passengers who may have accordedthem all the comforts of home.

p The vessel has been registered un-

der the Hawaiian flag, and now bearsthe name of "Diamond Head," paintedin neat letters in the usual places.

Capt. Ward has been chosen as hermaster. The first officer will probablybe appointed today. The second officeris P. Peterson, a man who has hadyears of experience in his line of work.

The bark Diamond Head will sail forSan Francisco during The latter part ofthis week, where everything that willgo to place the vessel in the Al classwill be done by Capt. Metcalfe, whowill leave Honolulu for San Franciscoon the China.

After all improvements have beencompleted the Diamond Head will beopen for business, and will probablyrun regularly between Pacific Coastports and Honolulu.

BIG COFFEE TRADE

Where Fortunes HaveBeen Made in it.

South American Planters Can StandAnother Drop and Still Con-

tinue to be Rich.

The American Grocer, reviewing the"coffee situation," says:

"The crop of 1896-9- 7 is a demonstra-tion of the extent to which a periodof high prices has stimulated produc-tion. The area devoted to coffee hasbeen rapidly extended in Brazil, inCentral America, United States of Co-

lombia, Venezuela and. Mexico. Cof-

fee growing Is a profitable industrywhen coffee sells in New York at pricesconsiderably below a basis of 10 cfor No. 7 Rio. At the prices of thepast five years planters have been re-

ceiving enormous profits."It is apparent that we have entered

a period of low cost A decline hastaken place of over 5c per pound inthe cost of Brazil sorts, and the ques-tion is whether this fall in the pricehas fully discounted a supply largelyin excess of the world's requirements.The answer will be found in the esti-mated outturn of the 1897-9- 8 crop. Ifthat is up to or, above the average sup-

ply, then there is a chance for lowerprices. If the next crop is to be lightin Brazil, it would seem as if the pres-ent basis was near bottom.

"Messrs. W. H. Crossman & Bro. es-

timate an enormous crop In Brazil for1896-9- 7, viz., a total export of not lessthan 8,000,000 bags. This Is a total farbeyond the yearly average for sevenyears, ending June 30, 1896, of 5,657,286bags (332,781 tons). In 1891-9- 2 Brazilexported 7,267,000 bags, and it is cer-

tainly not unreasonable to estimatethat the exports from the largest yieldon record should exceed the shipmentsof 1891-9-2 to the extent of 733,000 bags.Brazil has furnished 54 per cent of theworld's supply. On that basis thecrops of 1896-9- 7 will aggregate 14,814,-S0- 0

bags. The estimate for the totalcrops is 14,000,000 bags, based on aminimum Brazil yield of 8,000,000 and6,000,000 for other countries, or about500,000 bags above the average cropsof the past three years.

"The total deliveries In Europe andthe United States for five crop years

ending June 30, 1896, were 54,677,976bags, or a yearly average of 10,935,595bags. Hard times curtail the use ofcoffee, especially if prices rule high.There has been an increase in the de-

liveries of coffee worthy of note sincethe advent of high prices, as the fol-lowing table of deliveries in Europeand the United States shows:

Tear. Bags.1895-9- 6 11,142,8131894-9- 5 11,212,8511893-9- 4 10,571,5331892-9- 3 10,946,2281891-9-2 10,804,551

Total five years 54,677,976Yearly xaverage (643,270

tons) 10,935,595

"The above shows the steady natureof the world's requirements, which issubject to other than crop influences.Hard times and high cost cut downthe demand. With a return to prosperity, the United States should increase its consumption of coffee atleast 400,000 bags. Last year the deliveries fell below 1894-9- 5 here and inEurope, "but to slight extent" Thisshows the fairness of the estimate ofrequirements, viz., 11,500,000 bags, "tomeet which there is an estimated sup-ply of 14,000,000 bags." "Theoutlook for the 1897-9- 8 crop is favor-able for a full average yield. If itshould duplicate the supply of 1896-9- 7,

we cannot see how it can fail to fosterand maintain an era of cheap coffee.There is certainly no basis in sight up-on which to carry forward a bull cam-paign. We have arrived at a timewhen it is fairly safe to carry liberalstocks, and the lower prices go thesafer the operation of buying freely."

LOOKING FROM THE LONELYROCK.

The Island of St Paul is merely agreat rock in the Southern Ocean. Itis the top of a volcanic mountain.There are no means of sustaining lifeto be found on it. The nearest inhab-ited land is Australia or Africa. Tothat ugly ,and desolate refuge came aboat containing nine persons two ofthem women. They had food onshort allowance for perhaps a week.In less than three days they were halfinsane from anxiety. Water, water,water everywhere, but no help. On thefifth day, at dawn, a brig hove to offthe island. They saw her. Shouting,praying, weeping, they stumbled to thebeach, and were rescued. It was onechance in a hundred. I'll tell you whysome other time.

But, alas! Isn't it as bad or evenworse on land? Look at the physicalwrecks in homes, in hospitals, and an-

swer me. One perishes of privationfrom shipwreck. A thousand perish ofprivation in the midst of plenty. Itisn't food they long for, but power touse it worst and deadliest of allwants.

"My food seemed to give me nostrength," says one of this army of un-

fortunates, "and as the hopeless, starv-ing days passed slowly by I grew weak-er and weaker. By-and-- my legstrembled and bent under me, and Icould no longer get about.

"The ailment wltfcb reduced me tothis fearful condition began in thespring of 1892. At first I hardly rec-ognized it for what we commonly calla disease. I felt tired, heavy, and lan-guid, as one often does on the approachof warm weather. I fancied it wouldpass away, but it did not I lost myappetite, and only ate from habit and tokeep me going. I had no pleasure in it,and no warmth or glow followed it, ashappens always when one is well. Nomatter how light and simple the re-

past was, or how careful I had been toselect things that would not be apt tohurt me, the result was the same. Nosooner had I swallowed it than mystomach was distressed, and my chestand sides full of pain. If you will al-

low me so to put it, my food appearedto strike back at me, as though I hadno right to use it.

"There was a nasty, bitter flavorin my mouth, more or less headache,and a kind of nervousness, which wasnew in my experience, as it was de-

pressing and cheerless."Home remedies failing to help me,

I consulted a doctor, but his prescrip-tions benefited me no more than ourdomestic medicines had done. My fleshand strength grew less, and I felt likeone who has missed his way and looksin vain for a guide' to point the roadhome.

"Finally, I commenced attending theLeamington Hospital, and continued todo so for twelve months, but the treat-ment they gave me had no better ef-

fect than all the rest. You can hardlyunderstand how weary I got of takingdrugs. I turned almost with loathingfrom every new dose not because ofthe taste, but because they deceivedmy hopes; they were of no use to me.

"In this state I was, when in March,1894, a friend urged me to try MotherSeigel's Syrup. On account of the veryreasons I have mentioned, I hated toexperiment with any more medicines.But I overcame this aversion (mostfortunately for me) and got a bottleof Mother Seigel's Syrup from Mr.Judd, the chemist, in Leamington, andafter taking it I felt a marked andgreat improvement. I had no pain aftereating, and my food felt right, digest-ed, and gave me strength. And asI grew stronger my nerves ceased totrouble me. I can only say that bythe continued use of the Syrup I gotbetter daily and was soon as vigorousand well as ever. I have had no re-lapse, and have every reason to thinkmy cure a permanent one. You arewelcome to publish my letter. (Signed)(Miss) Lucy Eden, Tachbrook, nearLeamington, September 26th, 1895."

We hope Miss Eden's recovery mayindeed prove permanent, and if it doesshe will find no words too strong whenshe speaks of the remedy whichwrougt it But oh, the vast multitudewho still stand, like the shipwreckedpeople on the island, looking for res-cue! victims of that most obdurate,common and baneful of diseases,chronic dyspepsia. It is for theirsakes Miss Eden kindly writes herstatement, and for their sakes we printit May It reach many of them!
