The Cathedral Fair,

The fair in aid of the furnishing fund of th,
new Cathedral which was held in the Y. II. C. A
building last Friday, proved a most brilliant and
successful affair.
The large upper hall was surrounded by beauti
fully decorated stalls presided over by the most
prominent ladies of the land. On reaching the
head OF the stairs turned to the right and came
upon the candy STALL which was most popular
with the young folks and the stock was completely
sold out and had to be renewed. This was pre-
sided over by Miss Potwia, Miss Mist and Miss
Wells. Queen Emma's table was also mosi
pOpuler and that lady and her active assistants
made the largest sales at the fair. HR II, the
Princess Likelike made fine display of fancy
work and some distnctively native curios The
table presided over by Mrs Wells, Mrs Mackin.
tosh and Mrs. Wallace was loaded with pretty
things, among which some photographs Of The
Princess of Wales contributed by King Kalakaua
there were also couple of ingenious models OF
native houses. Mrs. Dowsett, Mrs. Bickerton and
Mrs. I. II. Walker had stalls on the left hand side
OF the room. The toy table was literally patron

Too Much Silver,

work Of money, all the excess is not only useless
but worse than useless. The people are not made
richer OF more productive by a greater quantity of
money than they actually need conveniently 10
conduct their exchanges.
The old mercantile theory that a nation j. To Dc
deemed rich in proportion to the amount OF the
precious metals which 1t can manage to retain was
long ago exploded by Adam Smitb. This theory
once prevalent led the nations to accumulate and
hoard these metals, and by stringent laws seek to
prevent their expectation, Adam Smith saw the
utter fallacy Of the theory and the differences
drawn therefrun, and proved to demonstration
that supply beyond what Is needed for use in the
arts and use as money If retained, was simply
dead loss adding nothing TO the real wealth Of the
people and making no contribution TO their pros
per1ty, while involving large cost for no practi-
cal end. Storeu-up capital available for Cousufnr,-
ton available for the production OF other CAPT.
tai, Is 50 much accumulated wealth; but stored-up
gold and silver, available for neither purpose is So
much capital existing in the unprodIctiYe condi-
ton. The best thing that q nation can do with
surplus Of precious metals is to sell il to other
countries, and with 1t buy what il more needs To
retain the surplus is to keep on hand costly and
useless articles, for which there Is an ample
market in the outside world. A nation might lust
as well hoard Its surplus of wheat, aud thus dur
ing the boarding period lose its entire value Hav-

the wiser it will be. The precious metals are no
exception to this general law of economic science

With the present middle in currency, which
might all have been avoided, unless something is
done how long will it be before exchange will
rlse up TO its old figure of s per cent Once there
there Is no reason why it should not run up to
between Is and p per cent. Disaster is before
the country unless some stringent measures are

California Resorts.

A fine set Of Handbooks for the noted Summer
and Winter Resorts of California have been for
warded to the GAzETTE by the southern Pacific
Il. Il. Co. The principal work is the Tourists
illustrated Guide" a work running to some 800
pages. 1t contains great amount Of information,
gathered together by Major Ben. c. Truman. The
descriptions of Scenery are good and the direction
TO travellers minute For any one intending to
make an extended tour in California the work must
invaluable. Among the descriptions OF the many
beautiful country residences, is one of an old
friend, that belonging TO Captain RS. Floyd who
used TO command the Idaho when she ran between
Honolulu and the Coast Is or l6 years ago
Captain Floyd was a most popular man and II
does one good to hear of him again. Here is the
pen sketch of his beautiful summer home.
There are already number Of chateaux uppn
the lake, the most precautions and delightful of
which is "kono Iayee," the summer home Of
Captain and Mrs Il. :. Floyd. of San Frlncisco
Il occupies one Of the prettiest spots upon the
lake, and Is nine miles by water from Iakeport
and little over five miles from Sulphur Bank.
Il Is directly opposite konocbi Tor Uncle SAM
Mountain and Soda Bay. The Floyd place re-
minds one Of the villas on our eastern lakes
except that at kono Tayee many varieties of
northern and semi-tropical fruits and flowers
grow the year round. Even during the rainy sea
son, when the mountains surrounding Clear Lake
are covered with snow, homo Tayee may be des-
cribed as picture Of summer set in a winter
frame. The house Is a noble mansion of many
apartments, and it sees few days during the sum
mer months that SAID apartments are not occuuied
with others than the Captain and his estin,a HE
wife and little girl. This place contains several
hundred acres; and the acacia, pepper. pome-
granite and eucalyptus intermingle their braucbes
with the indigenous oak and FIR; the orange and
peach nod gracefully 10 each other at each rsss
ing wind, as If proud of their luscious fruits and
the magnolia and the violet alike imprcrnate Inc
evening zephyrs with their aromatic sweets,
There Is all at kono Tayee that wealth and taste
can appropriately suggest; and one can readily
conclude. the moment be reaches tine nuarfor-
deck, I'VE mean yerandal with its brass pieces
IN proper positions that Captain FLOYD has not
spent his entire life outside Of man-of-war Mr.
Floyd also owns Quercus rancho almost dirpctly
opposite homo Iayee, where he keeps his horses
and carriages, and most of his fine cattle. and
upon which there Is an excellent orchard ue
also owns a number of fine craft, among which
are included the City of LakepoTt,' a steamer
seventy two feet long, constructed in model and

RECENT returns made to the controller of Texas
show rapid increase in wealth and population
during the past few years. The increase in the
assessed valuation last year was over $63,OOO.OOO
The total assessed value of the State in 1884 was
35S3,OOO,OOO as against S3ll, 10000 in 1880, an
increase IN four years of nearly S275O000O0. That
q part OF this increase IN assessed value may be
due to improved assessment methods is possible
but the larger part is probably due to wonderful
development of that State during the past few
years That the assessment is still INCOMPLETE is
evidenced by the fact that the assessed value of
the railroads of Texas is but 100000 while the
actual value is claimed TO be over 800 600 600
The school lands of that State are not assessed
and worth about S10O,OO0OOO. According TO tho
State bureau of statistics the population in 1884
was 2,215,7OO, as compared with 1.59l 200 in 1850
an increase in four years of 629j4 or at rate of
10000 per year That the real value of the pro-
perty IN that State is really much more than is
reported is evident, but the great inrcease shown
IN the value of the property already assessed gives
prouisse of further increase in material pros
perity and wealth.
