Oct lllh. 1889.
This bill was paid by myself in
gold coin Oct. lth, 1889. The
name Hawaiian Pacific Cable Co. y
was adopted 10y the foreign stock
holders to distinguish our cable en-.
terprise from the London. ,,reat
Britain. Pacific Cable Co. Mr.. Al
len is clearly wrong as his own fig
ures show and his action in filing his
power Of attorney, which was i'll de-
iiapce Of my written instructions to
the New York constructors of the
rejected cable, estopped me from
availing myself of the advantages
of using any part or portion of the
benefits of the Government contract
as further collateral with which to
buy the necessary cables to com
plete the series. Now, Mr.. Editor,
there are plenty of people who dis.
like TO argue in newspapers, 1t
strikes me that when six or egh,
men start in TO ruin one, it is higl
time that the six or eight were well
ventilated and there is nothing like
o good newspaper in which to per.
form the work.

Over the signature Of "W. w. Hall,

an open letter addressed to the Min
lister of Finance by myself is quoted
from and the real author whose
phrases and verbiage are easily re-
cognized, proceeds to evade and beg
the questions involved by stating
that "he has not time, ETC., etc.
In which TO answer. Vague and
general terms invariably used to
smother an overt act in the curious
intricacies and ramitications of
"ioiut stock company, limited y
will not answer in this case. My
letter to His Excel!ency states that
the firm alluded to voluntarily be-
came agents for the cable company
on or about September 18th, 1857,
and the attempt on Mr.. Halls part
90 antedate the connection Of his
firm with the New York construct
ors of the rejected cable is obvious.
The exact date upon which the ca
bic company's first purchase was
made of Hall & Son, Limited, was
July 30th, 1889, and the ''power OF
attorney" to press the claim (since
invalidated) against the cable COM
pany was, according to Mr.. Halls
letter, "some time in August fol-
lowing. On yesterday Hon. w. +.
Allen, Auditor OF Hall & Son, Lim-
tied, did me the honor to state that
he had presented the claim for the
$4,000 Government subsidy ut the
Interior Department, that ne was
entirely unconscious of any attempt
TO prejudice the cable company's
interests, when he accepted the po-
sition of attorney IN fact for the
New York constructors of the re-
jected cable. l fully believe this,
for Mr.. Aliens reputation is that Of
clean man. That the fact Of his
being attorney in fact for the New
York company has been taken adj
vantage of by Hall ( Son to attempt
an injury TO the cable company L
also fully believe and expect to de-
monstratG at later period. just
here permit me to say that u
concerted attempt to ruin . man S
business may be disguised and de-
MED and hidden in the deepest
pigeon hole Of the Hawaiian Com
mittee on Commerce, but all will
not hinder fair-minded citizens from
looking into and seeing through such
actions and passing judgment for
themselves.

It is something to know ones own

my, who is of sensitive nature, came
into the breakfast room one morning
and heard q member of the family ex-
claim. He is certainly a stupid little
thing!"
Thereupon. Tommy began to sulk

had got quite out of patience because he
would not hold up his right hand"

l1nprison Themse1yes.

Deer, when caught in a binding
snow storm, huddle together and tramp
round in circle, beating down the soft
snow, so that when heavy fall occurs
during, say twelve hours, they find
themselves in snow pen, with walls
above them; and if they commence to
tramp on top Of several feet of snow
during storm, they often find them
selves in corral of snow, with wall
surrounding them to height of 10 or
IL feet when the storm clears off, being
virtually imprisoned in snowy prison
pen from which escape is impossible
until the spring thaw Of the season.
An old mountaineer was taking
stroll near his cabin last winter, after
one of the heavy SHOWS, when he came
across one of these deer pens in the
snow and there imprisoned were seven
teen deer Of various sizes. They were
in circular pen Of snow, with walls Is
feet high. Upon his appearance the
deer became quite excited, and huddled
together and lodged from one side of
the pen to the other. However, as
hunger came upon them they became
more docile and the frequent visits of
the mountaineer with boughs and buds
from adjoining trees, which he threw
into the pen as food, caused the deer to
become regular pets and to watch for
the visits Of their protector. After a
while the man placed a ladder in the
pit and spent great deal of time in
handling his pets. Occasionally he
would take one out for food, as meat
became scarce, and in this way used
several of the deer. but he has most of
the deer vet in state Of domestication.
It is said he has deer ranch iii his
mountain home, much after the fashion
of cattle ranch on small scale.

Weaving Done bv Spiders.

There are few objects in nature from
which an object-lesson can be taken
more conveniently than from the web ii.
a spider. The work is carried on in the
house and out of doors, and it is done
with no attempt at concealment. Easy
as it is to watch the whole process of
constructing web, an account of it
will yet be of interest to many readers.
A contributor to Knowledge gives q
description of the work of common
house spider.
The spider seems to take pains, be-
fore beginning his web, to select spot
where there are chances of obtaining
plumber and where it will be secure. It
then discharges little drop of glutin-
Gus fluid, creeps up the wall, and joius
the thread from one wall to the other.
The first thread thus formed is drawn
tight, and fixed at each end with other
threads, upon which the durability of
the whole fabric depends.
The foundation of the web being
completed, the spider next makes q
number of threads parallel to the first,
and then crosses them with other
threads, the sticky substance of which
wy ssAS AOAAAAOAA oOk NAuS w OAAu Gu0"3
when newly made, to each other. II
now begins to double and treble the
threads that border its web, securing
the edges as it does SO. Lastly, It
forms kind of tunnel with webbing.
This is to serve as retreat where It
can conceal itself from its enemies and
also from its prey, and is generally
placed in the angle of the walls.
When the spiders work is done, it
often happens that the approach of
some large animal or the passage of
the housemaid's broom will destroy in q
minute the labor of days. In this case,
as soon as the danger is passed away,
the spider patiently begins to repair the
web.
For this purpose it is provided with a
store of the glutinous matter of which
the web is made. When possible, the
spider prefers the mending business, as
it is provided with only a limited
quantity of glutinous matter, which
when it is exhausted cannot probably
| be renewed.
