YIN. c. A. Monthly Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Y. NJ. G. A. was held in their hall Thurs
day evening with a goodly attendance of
members, President w. w. Hall being
in the chair. The Secretary's, Treas
urer's, General Secretary's, and the var
ious committees reports were presented
and adopted. The Treasurer's report
showed a balance in his hands of over
800.
Mr.. Atherton stated that he had re-
ceived letter from Mr.. G. NJ. Cooke, the
associations delegate in the Worlds
Convention at Stockholm, which took
he mentioned that there were delegates
from great many parts of the globe,
and the Convention was interesting
throughout. AT one of the meetings,
Mr.. Cooke, noticing other delegates
speaking in a foreign language, also
spoke in Hawaiian in the presence of a
great many of the delegates, which de-
lighted them exceedingly. Mr.. Cooke,
accompanied by his brother, Mr.. A. F.
Cooke, is expected here by the next
steamer.
Mr.. F. j. Lowrey, of the entertainment
committee, stated that the first of a series
OF g informal talks 3" to Young men upon
some interesting subjects will be given
within fortnight at the Association
parlors.
A suggestion that choral club be
formed was received with general favor.
The meeting adjourned after a collection
was taken amounting to nearly five dol
lars.

THE new road to the Volcano is to be
commenced as. soon as surveys can be
made which will probably be within two
months. A surveyor and staff will soon
be put in the field. The projected line
will be as nearly as possible straight
now enters the woods Mr.. Rycroft's
work in Puma has demonstrated the fact
that where there is IA a splendid road is
easily made The new Volcano road
will follow the old IA flows. This is the
plan and it is believed that these flows
extend very nearly to the Volcano. This
belief is based upon the fact that the
aa flows soon become covered with heavy
forests, whereas the pahoehOe flows re-
main smooth and forbidding for many
years. This of course is owing to the
fact that the IA disintegrates much more
rapidly than the other. This accounts
for the fact that on the Island of Hawaii
broad belts of pahoehoe are found lined
on either side with heavy forests which
sometimes cross the flow. It is found
upon examination that the heavy forest
belts stand upon IA beds, or points
where the aa has broken through or COW
cred the pahoehoe flow. The heavy
forest entered four miles out of Hilo by
the Volcano road extends unbroken to
points near the Volcano, which leads to
the belief that it stands upon IA and
that a fine carriage road can be made
through it without very heavy expense.
1t seems probable indeed that the road
can be made to pay for itself to a certain
extent by following Mr.. Rycroft's plan;
that is, to cut out heavy belt of forest
on line with the proposed road, then
run a traction engine in over the aa,
when theawood can be hauled out and
sold. 1t is not probable that the distance
to the Volcano can be very much short
ened, but fine carriage drive of thirty
miles will be considered of no account
when measured against the present
routes

THE Government is beginning at once
upon the improvements authorized by
law and for which appropriations were
made. 1t is probable that considerable
work will be furnished to skilled me-
chanics and others for some time to
come. As already reported in the papers
the proposed new market for Honolulu
will be commenced as soon as plans and
specifications are finished. The plans at
the office of the Minister of the Interior
indicate that the building will be orna-
mental to Honolulu, and very convenient
for both sellers and buyers. The plan
finally hit upon will probably be hol-
low square with the four corners built a
story higher than the adjacent buildings.
The location selected is certainly much
better than any other site. A market in
the middle of the town would very soon
become nuisance in climate like this.
Whereas on the water front it can be easily
and thoroughly cleaned by flowing water

AUSPICIOUS EVENT.
Launch of c. Brewer & Co.'s New Iron

launch of Messrs. c.. Brewer q Co.'S new
iron bark for the Hawaiian trade
"Foohng Suey," the name given the
vessel, is Chinese for something like
L" fast sailer'' or the favorite name
Fleetwing:"
In the course of yesterday forenoon d
message was sent to Messrs. Napier,
Shanks & Bell, YOker, to the effect that
Her Majesty the Queen and suite would
probably witness the launch OF sailing
vessel from their shipbuilding yard in
the afternoon The ship lay on the
stocks within sight of the mansiOn-hOuse
of BlvthswoOd. The launch was fixed to
take place at half-past one O'Clock. At
that time a detachment OF the SeatOrth
HighlanderS who are on duty within the
policies, were marched to the river front
and drawn up in double line. 1mmedl-
ately afterwards an escort OF the 18th
Hussars rode through the park, and were
followed by the Queen, who was driven
in a small pony phaetOn. 1t was eX-
pected that Her Majesty and suite would
come right down to the bank opposite

shower of rain fell, and the Queen stop
ped in the shelter of one of the elm trees
in the park From this position a capt.
tai view of the launch was had. On
both banks Of the river there were con-
siderable crowds of spectators, who loud
ly cheered as the vessel entered the
water She was named the " FOOhng
Suey," by Mrs. II. NJ. Napier, Bowling.
The vessel is Il steel barque, OF 900 tons
net, built for Messrs. Brewer q Company
(Limited), of Honolulu, Hawaiian Is
lands. She is classed 100 Al at Lloyd's,
and is furnished with all modern i'm
provements. While having a large
carrying capacity, she is built on fine
lines, and it is believed will prove fast

the launch were: MIR. f. NJ. Brewer,
one of the owners; DR.. F. II. Under

DEAR SIR took my first policy with the

have taken this odd amount because it
brings my assurance up to the Soclety's
Ilmlt-a round 100000.
have now 100000 of assurance. which
costs me only $823.78 year.
L recognize the fact that l could have
made a very satisfactory settlement with
the Equitable on cash basis but as this
SlOO,OtO OF assurance will supply ready
money to my family and executors at my
death, and as the cost is so comparatively
small, prefer the assurance to a cash
settlement. Yours truly, M. n. 9.
The holder of the above policies would be
very unreasonable if he were not satisfied
with these results. After ENJOYING. for
many years, the protection furnished by
S5O,OOO of life assurance at current rates,
he now Cat age 49, finds himself with poll
cles aggregating 100000 for which he has
to pay less than s a year for every S., 900
of assurance.
This is certainly cheap assurance, and if
the best is always the cheapest, this assur-
ance Is dOubly valuable, for it is issued bv
the Equltable-the strongest and most pros
porous company III the business.
ANY young man, In good health, whether
rich or poor, may profit by the example of
this assurer; for if he cannot afford to take
such large policies, he can apply for smaller
amounts.

stevenson's South Sea Trip.

According to bit of gossip in the
New York Sun, Robert Louis Steyenson's
voyage on the South Seas goes to show
some of the possibilities of American
enterprise nowadays, The whole trip
was got up by the scheming brain of a
manager of newspaper syndicates. Mr..
Stevenson hires the yacht, we'll equipped,
thoroughly seaworthy, and supplied with
all the modern Injuries, and sails away
on a voyage of interest and novelty.
Meanwhile all bills are paid by the man
who manages the newspaper syndicate
When Mr.. Stevenson returns he will pass
over to him the manuscript embodyIng
the novelist's reflections and discoveries
on the voyage, and the sale of this manu-
script in America, England and Austria
liza will more than reimburse the syndi-
cate manager. Times have changed
since Milton sent Paradise Lost" beg
ging among the Foreign
paper.

every day. This is not the only health
consideration. The fact that the trade
wind blows almost continually is worthy
of consideration. Unhealthy and injuri-
Gus Odors would be blown off to sea eX-
sept upon those rare occasions when
southerly or easterly winds are blowing.
To these considerations must be added
the very important one of transportation.
A large proportion of the produce that
goes to the market comes by water, and
it will be both speedy and economical to
have the market adjoin the water or lie
very near to it. When the Oahu railway
is finished it will bring large quantity
of produce to the market every day, and
with the market on the water front the
cars will probably come directly to 1t,
whereas it is not probable that they
would be allowed to come into the CEN
ter of the town, especially II moved by
steam. Another point worthy of consid-
Grafton is the fact that great deal OF
produce is purchased by shipping and
the experience of other countries shows
that the better the facility the more is
purchased. In general it may be said
that convenient and commOdious mar
ket is mark of civilization without
which we have existed long enough.
The little cooped up corner of the town
called Ulakoheo has been disgrace to us
long enough and we shall all feel prouder
and happier when we are able to show
our foreign friends a respectable market.
