THE LEADER /!

Everyone who reads knows the result
of Don Quixote's "battle with the wind
mills" Even though that cratic indi-
vidual had only the most primitive mills
to combat be found himself" done up"
on his first attempt to subdue that which
had aroused his ire; had he come In
contact with an Aermotor it is probable
that he would have refrained from any
attempt to contest the ground with so
strong a machine. We can excuse him
for his action in battling with the an
cient style windmill, and could have
done SO had he waited few years longer
and tackled the old fashioned wooden
mills which are now going rapidly out
OF date, but there could be no excuse for
his desire to fight a steel Aermotor. de
would not be in it.
Don QuiXote's farce reminds us OF the
attempts OF some persons OF to-day VINO,
with even greater confidence than the
Don, start in for fight with the Aer-
motors They buckle on their armor
and start out. only to end by adding to
the rapidly increasing popularity OF the
Aermotor, The greatest windmill on
earth.''
We get a new invoice of Aermotors
by each steamer and yet cannot
supply the demand for them. They are
recognized as the most powerful mill in
operation, and we do not hesitate to say
that within six months there will not be
a single Individual who needs a wind
mill on these Islands who will buy any
other kind.
You have been told through the news
papers before that the mills are so light
in construction that gentle zephyr will
run them; so easy and perfect are those
we have seen in operation, and by a
letter recently received from a purchaser
| of an Aermotor we are almost tempted
to tell you now that they will run in q
dead calm. This would not be fal
wrong for we have seen a 12-foot mil
revolve rapidly when there was no
enough wind to carry the smoke iron
the stack of steam engine only shor
distance from the Aermotor. These art
facts much too hard for the manufac
turers of other mills to fight. We enjol

The Eastern sugar market experienced
q decided advance during the few days
prior to the sailing of the Alameda,
and the latest quotation of raws we
have seen is 3.43, an advance of %
cents per 100 lbs, with very strong
market. Col Allen received the follow
ing from his brother, E. III. Allen, who
is Hawaiian Consul in New York, dated
May %:
''There has been a sharp advance of
Nc in refined sugar. Raws advanced
only Lilo, making refining still more
profitable. Willet & Gray say that
the refiners are making large profits,
and that the capacity of working re-
ineries is not sufficient to meet the large
demand for immediate delivery. The
Trust has been making enormous sales
of sugar under the new tariff, which has
so reduced the price of refined sugar to
consumers that the consumption has
greatly increased. The sugar cables
from beet root countries indicate that
the financial troubles are passing away.
No further depression in raw sugars need
be anticipated for some time"

The second days session of the
association was devoted to further
reports from the churches and island
associations. In the afternoon the
association attended in a body the
exercises connected with laying the
corner stone of the Central Union
church. In the evening, the regular
weekly prayer-meetings of the Ha-
waiian city churches were attended
by the ministers and delegates.
One very pleasant feature OF the
mornings session was the hour given
to friendly greetings from represen-

ports of the Treasurer and the Sec
rotary of the Hawaiian Board were
read. The actual receipts of the
Board for the past year were S42,-
391.70. Balances of different special
funds in the Treasurer's hands bring
the total receipts up to SCI, 499 SO.
The expenditures have been $43,-
1873 SO. Special and permanent funds
foot up $18,366.47. besides which
there are several pieces of real estate
of which list is being prepared
with their valuation. Several large
donations are acknowledged by the
Treasurer, and financially this has
been an exceptionally successful
year.
The Secretary's report justly char
acterizes the past year as one OF re,
covery and advance. The spirit OF
the old regime, antagonistic and de-

policy and methods in sympathy
with all endeavors to elevate, en-
