Social Ambition n cnu,e.

DR.. Rutan thought that at the last day, when
all the inneFmost secrets would be made pub
lie, that social ambition would probably be the
cause of as many ruined lives as alcohol, which
would surprise those who talked so learnedly
about the nations curse. Continuing she said
that the old rule by Rodger was too often for
gotten: That a woman enters her husbands
home to be its light, changing with brightness
what all before was night; a guardian angel
and his cares dividing; winning him back when
mingling In the throng of a gay world we have
allowed too long 10 furnish pleasure and do
mestic ease, blest with that charm the GER
tainty to please. For, oh, the true rule Is that
true wife in her husbands home is his serv-
ant. It is in his heart she is queen"
At the conclusion OF the last paper the presi-
dent, Mrs. Wade, informed the club that the
question was open for discussion. The opin.
ion seemed to be almost unanimous that there
was no failure in marriage proper, but an inter-
esting discussion was INDUCED in regarding the
concluding lines of DR.. Rutan's paper which
some OF the ladies took exceptions to.
Mrs. Wade, In her own inimitable manner, in
formed the company she did not belaeve that
woman should be doormat for the conven-
ience of her husband. and she def1ed st. Paul
and his teachings about women, said she be-
and per consequence his bitterness. She gave
Milton all due reverence as an Intellectual
man, but snapped her fingers at his opinions
about woman, and believes in an equal partner
ship between husband and wife. She quoted
Gladstone in that his so years married happi-
ness was due to the fact that when Mrs. Glad
stone was very much in earnest he always con-
ceded, and when he was very much in earnest
Mrs. Gladstone always conceded. The ladies
were divided in their opinions regarding that
subject but the majority of them believed as
their worthy president did.

Returning to the subject Of marriage the
Secretary Mrs. DR.. Ramsey, scored a good
point when she queried what would OF could
take the place of the family relations, and she
affirmed that all the most tender and better
thoughts of human being were born through
family ties, and she pictured in a realistic
manner the forlOrn, aimless creature that
would go wandering through the world all by
himself if marriage were abolished, which Is
certainly should be if proven failure
Several bright single ladies in the room
afforded much amusement when called upon
to express their views, one by saying marriage
had most certainly been failure In her case;
another begged to be excused from expressing
her opinion until she had personal experience
while the third declared she preferred knowing
by proxy as it was her determination never to
risk partnership that might result IN bank
ruptcy.
After marriage had been exhausted very in
teresting paper was listened to by the club
which the Treasurer, Mrs. Prentiss, had pre-
pared. An accidental discovery of her hus-
bands diary written during the time of the ex-

was celebrated this morning at 9
o'clock, at the Roman Catholic Ca
thedral. The grand altar was appro-
priately draped in emblems OF
mourning, which blending with,the
usual Lenten decorations, made the
scene exceedingly sorrowful.
His Lordship the Bishop of 0lba
was the celebrant of the mass, assist
ed by Father Matthias as deacon OF
the mass, and Father Sylvester as
sub-deacon. The master of ceremo-
nies of the mass was Father Gle
ments.

stationed in the choir, and on the en-
trance of the Bishop and his assist
ants, played funeral march. At
intervals during the services, and at
the otlertory, communion and post
communion,it playedthe following Sc
lection:
Fallen Heroes. Dirge by G. w. White
Domino Jesu Christie. +. X. Smith
Soldiers Farewell ....... Kinkel !
At the conclusion of the mass
they played the Grand Funeral
March hy Beethoven. The usual
choir also assisted in the mass.
Forty sailors and marines from the

officers occupied the right hand side
OF the Church.

when the selection Of ruler is made
it must be final, and in this matter
the three powers must step in and

At no time in the history of Samoa
has it been more necessary for for

caution such persons from interfer-

only chance the natives will have in

powers is to make known to the ma
tives that their choice once made
must not be altered, and that their
chosen chief must be accepted and

will have to solve will be the manner

About two q. m. on February Z.

THE SAMOAN QUESTION.

By latest advic,s from Europe
and America we learn that in agree
ing to conference on Samoan af-
fairs the United States has distinct
ly stated that before entering into
any discussion on the subject the
autonomy of Samoa should be guar
anteed. This means that these ISL
ands shall be governed by n native
King or President. AS the confer
ence is to be held on these condi-
tions it now becomes of the greatest
Importance to the people of these
islands who is to be our future
ruler. 1t is well within the range
of possibility that the United States,
and probably Great Britain may de-
mand that Germany would restore
Malietoa to the position he held be-
fore his deportation by the German
Commodore. This demand would
be both justifiable and humane, Ma
lietoa sacrificed himself for the
safety of his people. He gave him
self up to prevent the slaughter of
his subjects. This the Samoan peo-
pie we'll understood at the time, and
ever will remember. The heredit-
airy revered name of Malietoa has
only been more closely endeared to
his followers, and his return to his
home and people, whether as King
or citizen, would go a great length
in restoring peace among the natives
themselves. Mataafa, Malietoa's
representative, who has been pro-
claimed King of Samoa, has proved
himself to be chief of great ability
and discretion. Even the Germans,
his enemies, admit his superior
qualifications for the position he has
been called to by his people. Never
before has a King of Samoa been
able to keep together such an i'm
mense army for such length of
time and fight for him so determin-
edly. We do not know the exact
number of lives lost during the late
wars with Tamasese and the Ger
mans. eve cannot disconnect
them for although the Germans only
fought in one battle they shelled
Mataafa's villages and supplied Ia
masese with skilled commander,
and with arms, ammunition and food,
and sheltered him and his followers
when he took refuge in Muinuu by
sending fierce of marines from III.

Mataafa's followers are still as will
ing to fight for him as they were the
first day of the struggle. We do

ANNEXATION
MrtfsTER n. A. P. CARTER INTER-
VIEWED.

II A. P. Carter. the Minister of
the Hawaiian Islands in Washington,
was asked March 10Th what he
thought of the suggestion that If
Germany and England united in
supporting German claims to Sa-
moa the United States would pro-
pose the alternative of annexiug the
Sandwich Islands.
Mr.. Carter was somewhat disin-
clined to talk about the matter, but
finally said: II do not imagine that
any such alternative will be pro-
posed, or that it would become
nece, sary. II possession was taken
of the Samoan. group it would pro-
badly be divided among the three
Powers, England taking possession
of Savaii, Germany of Upolo, and
the United States of Tuluila, on
which the harhor of Pago-Pago is
located. If England and Ge many
insisted upon taking these two ISL
ands probably the United States
would accept Tutuila and let the
natives live there as they liked, CIV
ing them local independence under
American protection"
How would the people of the
Sandwich Islands look upon the
raising of the American flag there
was asked.
81 think they would be opposed
to it," replied Minister Carter.
Naturally they would prefer the
old Independent government. The
Sandwich Islanders are contented as
they are. The Government is in a
healthy financial condition. and there
is contentmeut throughout all the
group. The English, German and
United States residents on the isl
ands are satisfied with things as
they now exist, and would probably
be opposed to any change. 1t is
quite doubtful whether the Congress
of the United States would devise
any better form of government than
exists there now. Everything is
proceeding very satisfactorily. l
will not deny that there is an annex
alton sentiment among some Of the
American sresiding there, but DOM
think it is very strong or very
general feeling"
''How would the annexation o
the islands effect our trade rela
tions2"
ut would not effect the trade
much one way or the other, either o.
the Americans or foreigners residing
on the islands.
"More than 80 per cent of trade
is already American, so that tn,
sentiment for or against annexation
is manly political and is not affected
by commercial considerations.
eyes, the islands would naturally
prefer to remain Independent. Thei
Government is stable, though pro
gresslve, and they will soon begil
paving off their national debt" -
