The south Prosperous.

Many of She old railroads in the South
in existence in 1880 have been purchased
since by syndicates and vastly improved
and extended so as to develop new terri
tory or make new connections. Besides
this, however, many millions Of dollars
have been expended in building new roads,
and q wonderful impetus has been given
to the development of the OF the
south. The increase in mileage alone in
Ave wears has been 1898 miles. The
smallest increase OF any State has been in
MARYLAND forty-two miles-and South

Second D6y,

Yesterday opened bright aud pleasant
with Just sufficient warmth TO remind one
the sumTer days were not yet ended. BY
eight o'clock the numerous vehicles which
lined the streets showed that the country
people were aware that the SejaIia exposi-
tion. was in progress and that they did not
propose to miss seeing it, and long before
nine o'clock the streets were jammed with
a living mass which was largely increased
as the excursion trains from Jefferson City,
Moberly, Holden, Clinton and the branch
and Narrow Gauge roads came in loaded
to their fullest cspscity. This was q bright
outlook after the storm and gloom of the
first half of the week, which caused every
body to feel in the best possible humor as
it augured the fair association
would not be left entirely
in the cold after their hard labor and great
expense to give Pettis county an exposition
worthy Of her greatness and wealth. By 10

both in the city and country, gave up ali

who were coming in different directions,
say that they were going at about a three
minute gait when they approached each
other, and inadvertently both endeayored
to pass 10 the inside of the track, as a con-
sequence the horses collided and the shaft
of Sherman's gig penetrated the thigh of
Review several inches, completely flooring
the entire outfit and smashing Reviews gig
to pieces. The animals and drivers were
extricated SIS speedily as possible, when it
was found that In addition to the wound
from the shaft, Review mad suffered Sc

KAPlOLANI HOME.

The opening of the Kapiolani
Home for leper children took place
to-day with appropriate ceremonies.
The building is neat well finished
two-story structure. The interior is
divided into four apartments; the
school room and refectory on the
lower fiat, and two elegantly APP
pointed dormitories on the upper.
One of these dormitories is for the
use of children on whom no symp-
toms of leprosy can be detected.
These rooms are absolutely indie
pendent of each other, each having
its own closets and entrances, so
that contact between the infected
and non-infected will be avoided.
A guard of honor, composed of
the Queens Own Volunteers, com
handed by Captain O'Connor, pa
raded in front of the building and did
the military honors of the occasion.
The leper children were seated on

GENERAL REMARKS.

Kawailoa and Waimea Ranches
adjoin Kahuku, and together form a
compact property containing $500
acres of land. The honolulu pro-
perly is distant about twelve miles,
but is connected with them by an
excellent road. These properties
have at present G6 miles of good
fencing. The land is well grassed,
with fair proportion of timber
throughout. Live stock of all kinds
thrive and fatten on the pastures,
and by increasing the number of in
closed paddocks and working the
combined estates Systematically the
number of cattle and horses OH the
land might he largely increased.
The number of cattle, $1,000 to
$4,000, now on these estates has
been already mentioned, also 260
head of horse stock and mules, to-
gether valued at $4,000. The
horned cattle are bred from "Here-
ford" and "Short-horn Durham"
imported for these estates, and they
thrive and fatten without any stall
feeding or housing.
The horse stock is exceptionally
good, one sire, Shenandoah, !"
having won over $4,000 as a two
ycar-old in the United States. There
are also three trotting stations, two
of which cost 81 900 each, and there
are unbroken colts and fillies from
these sires, some four or five years
old, which may be readily broken
for saddle or harness.
These properties, if united, would
give the proposed company con-
trolling interest in the Honolulu
market, for produce of all kinds,
with a steadily increasing demand ;
to which the contracts recently en-
tered into by the Pacific and Oceanic
Steamship Companies may prove q
valuable stimulant. Indeed it Is
possible to create trade with Sar
Francisco for carcases of beef and
mutton carried in refrigeratine

arc suitable for dairy, poultry or
fruit raising. They are within easy
reach of the main road to Honolulu,
and when peopled must soon invite
the construction of railway to the
capital.
The sugar cane and rice land of
this property is valued at from 500
to $500 an acre, and may be taken
up in large or small tracts at these
figures; the grazing, farm and fruit
lands are valued at from SO to $50
per acre. 1t is at present intended
to offer some 10000 acres of first
class agricultural land for sale, upon
convenient terms, at $50 an acre for
colonization purposes, for resident
and improving occupants.
THE KAIIUKU RANCH
Consists of 10000 acres in fec SIM
pie and 5000 acres Government
leasehold, the basehold having an
unXepired term of II years, at an
annual rental of S455.
On the estate is q level tract of
land at an elevation of from 10 to
25 feet above sea level, extending
from Waimea to Laic, distance of
eight miles of sea frontage, and an
average breadth of one mile from
the sea to the foot hills. This tract
is pronounced by competent judges
to be excellent sugar cane land.
There are already flowing artesian
wells on either side of this level
tract, while near the middle is an
unfailing spring in which the water
rises to within 2! feet of the surface,
in column of at least one foot in
diameter, and flows thence TO the
sea. This proves that an ample
supply may be found for irrigation.
There have been offered by rice
growers to the present owner $40, 200
u year for 400 acres of this land,
water for cultivation being furnished.
a contract has been made to bore
five additional artesian wells to
comply with this requirement.
1t may be incidentally noted here
that in no case on this island OF
Oahu has boring for artesian wells
failed if sunk from an elevation moi
exceeding 80 feet above sea level.
There are about $4,000 acres Of
land suitable for fruit, small farms
or pasture, on the Kahuku property
estimated as salable for colonial.
ton purposes at from SIS to $50
per acre.

Reduction MIN Prices.

The managers of the natatorium have.
in consideration of the general deprea.
sion of business and the consequent
scarcity of money, determined to make
sweeping reduction in the prices from
the list as originally published, and it
is now within the power of all to avail
Themselves of its benefits. Many resi-.
dences are without bath tubs, and even
persons who have these very necessary y
articles like occasionally to have some
larger place where they can enjoy them
selves. III such will find the tank al
the natatorium exactly what they want.
as they can either bathe or swim accord
ing to inclination.
The following are the prices as reduc

A New I.ighlnousa. +.

The United States Government is
now having a new iron lighthouse con-
struc ted in New York, which will be
placed at Cape Henlopen, on one of the
most exposed points Of the coast. The
construction comprises four courses or
section rooms, the first of fifteen, and
the others of sixteen plates each. This
tower will be surmounted by q circular
watch room made of nine plates, and
this by an octagonal lantern, capped
by q copper Y aG;iating bail, through
which is run a brass pinnacle tipped
with platinum. The floors of the sec-
tions are composed of radiating plates,
supported by q cast iron column three
feet in circumference. The FIVE floors
are accessible by stairways, and two
galleries surround both the watch room
and the lantern.
