cave One Of Your Husband,. Car.


The latest edict in the etiquette OF
card leaving relieves us from the neces-
sity of distributing a shower of paste
boards all along the weary way we trav-
erse in n calling expedition, that is if we
would follow English customs. A few
years ago it became a fixed rule that a
woman calling on husband and wife
without her consort should leave two of
his cards and one of her own with the
servant Mt the door. But the great call
ing world have gradually decided that
it is intensely stupid to use up twice as
many of a mans cards as of a woman's,
when it is plain that q call on the wife
is a call on the husband.
Consequently, unless you are very
punctilious, it is considered quite sufi-
cient to leave one gentleman's card. The
lady's card should be left only when the
hostess is out, except in the case of a
first call, and should not be left at lat
homes" teas or receptions if you would
be English and up to date.
The fashionable card for u lady is a
shade smaller than that of last year. 1t
couldn't be a shade larger without re-
sembling a reception or dinner invita-
ton, so the reduction was a coercive
measure. The mans card is smaller and
narrowe than that of former years, the
proper dimensions being IL inches in
width and u little more hat 3 inches in
length.-New York Sun.

why They Are Called "copper""
Fifty years ago policemen wore no

merely a copper shield. 1t was from
this shield that they took their name OF

NOTES.
Items OF Interest In The Dramatic
World.

Bernhardts American tour has not been
a bowling success this season.
Roland Reed has bought a new play
from William r. Goodall of the Chicago
Times for $4,000. It is called The Ab-
sent Minded Han.
1t is said that Agnes Huntington has
made more money during the last ten
weeks than any other star on the road.
Nellie McHenry has been having the
greatest.luck other life since the production
of her new play A Night at the Circus in
New York, Whenever she appears the
playhouse is crammed, and managers all
over the country are begging for dates at
better terms than she has ever received.
Nothing succeeds like success.
Fred Gebhard, once "Langtry's Fred
die" has gone to a DIR. Kelley gold cure
institution near New York. Before CO.
ing he filed himself full Of champagne
and brandy in a box at Roster & Balls
dive with a dizzy blonde. He Is fatter
thar when he belonged to the Lilly"
His face is a bright vermilllon and one
side of his mustache is white. Those who
know the old handsome Freddie would be
unable to discover a resemblance in the
d~issipated face and blaze air of the minia-
ture distillery.

The Gospel is meant not only for the
wise and talented, for those Of quick and
keen mental powers, but just as truly for
those of imperfect culture, for the dull and
heavy minded, for the children in develop
ment as well rs the children in years. All
that God asks Of us is that each uses Alright
such opportunities and powers as have
been given him. Simplicity characterizes
both the essential nature of the Gospel and
the divinely chosen manner of applying it
to human needs. THE wayfaring men,
yea, fools, shall not err therein. "-Congre.

sUNpANCE TO Niger HILL.
A Burlington Line Projected Between
These Two Points.


1t now begins to look as though there
would be no necessity for us to build a
Wagon road to Niger Hill. Yesterday
the news that the Burlington surveying
party under the pilotage OF Mr.. Buckley
were at work between that place and here
running a line to this place arrived, and
when the Burlington begin running their
surveyors to this place it will not take
long for the road to follow. W. expect
to see the surveyors at work within the
city limits before the middle OF next week.

"SYDNEY, N.S.W., 80 Nov, 1891.
"DEAR Mr.. MEYER: | called to-
day at the .. S. Consulate and
found there a package for me and
at once thought of the coffee insect,
which it turned out to be. Please

THE COFFEE BLIGHT.
AN EFFECTUAL REMEDY
PROMISED.
HONOLULU, January 80, 1892.

Honolulu, January 80, 1892.
Mr.. EDITOR, DEAR SIR: The en-
closed IS translation of letter re-
ceived by me from Professor Albert
Koebele, with whom | became ac-
,quainted, through Mr.. A. Jaeger,
when he was here at Honolulu
some five or six months ago, on his
way to Australia, New Zealand and
other parts of the world, in search
of the natural enemies to the many
insects and parasites which are so
destructive to the fruit trees in the
State of California.
Professor Albert Koebele is the
discoverer that the "Vedalia Car
dinales" is the natural enemy Of the
"Cottony Cushion Scale" which
appeared on this island about two
years ago, and which, had it gone
on unchecked, would have destroy
ed not only every valuable tree on
this island, but in no great length
of time on all the islands,and every
one here knows of the truly mar
vellous effectiveness of this little
sElady Bird" the Vedalia Cardinals,
in destroying the cottony cushion
scale, which would have ruined
every tree.
[ spoke to Mr.. Koebele, while
searching for insects, to try and
find the natural enemy of the
"white aphis," which is such pest
to the coffee trees on these islands,
and which, as long as there is no
remedy found to destroy the same,
makes coffee culture a very uncer-
tain affair, and l impressed Mr..
Koebele that the discovery of an
effective remedy against this pest
and other similar ones, would be of
the greatest Importance to these
islands, especially at this time,
when so many people direct their
attention to coffee culture.
Professor Koebele had not suttl-
cient time while here to visit coffee
plantations, and could not satisfy
himself as to the nature of the in
sect, so 1 described it to him, as
best could and promised to send
him specimens of the same in all its
stages, which L did, and which
were the contents of the package
received by Prof, Koebele, referred
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-02-12

REMARKs.--In the event that
Mr.. Koebele succeeds IN finding an
insect which will destroy the coffee
blight as effectually as the "lady
bug" destroyed the cottony scale,
referred to, it would be an act of
simple justice to reward him in
some tangible way. How and by
whom, whether by citizens or by
the Government we leave for others
to express an opinion. One thing,
however, is certain, that if he sue
ceeds IN finding what he is now
searching for it will be a public
blessing, and would tend to restore
confidence in this branch of indus
try to such an extent perhaps as
would cause it soon to rank second
in the kingdom, and of more gen.
eral benefit to all classes than the
sugar or rice industry.

MEXICAN TITLES.

The attention of the United States
court of private land claims was yes
terday occupied in hearing depo-
sitions of witnesses in the case of
the Algodones Land company VS.. the
United States. The land in dispute
involves some $4,000 acres situated
at the mouth of the ella, in Arizona,
and extends into the state of Sonora,
Mexico. 1t also includes the site of
the town of Yuma. The grant was
made in 1888 to Don Fernando Rod
riguez by the state of Sonora before
this country assumed sovereignty of
the territory.
The defense claims that the grant
is invalid, on the grounds that the
granting power was beyond the
power of those who made the grant,
and moreover, that the grantees have
not complied with the terms of the
grant. There Is also question of
forgery in the signatures of the So
nora officials involved III the case.
The grant is also said to be in viola.
ton of the act of congress limiting
the amount of land that corpora
ton can hold in territory.
II the case is decided in favor of
the United States the land will be re-
cognized as public domain; other
wise it will be the property of the
land company.-Denver News.

NEAR THE MILLION MARX.

The pension list is mounting fast
towards the million mark.
On the 1st of April there were on
the rolls s26,267 names. OF these
over a quarter of a million-255,4 4O
were added IN the past ten months,
most of them under the pauperizing
pension act.
At this rate of increase there will
be a million pensioners drawing sub
stance from the tax payers on the LIST
of January next.
This is twice the number of the
great standing army of Germany in
time of peace. 1t is nearly equal to
the combined armies of Germany,
Italy and Austria Hungary.
The pensioners will at the begin
ming of next year be one in twelve
of the voters of the entire nation
north and southland this nearly
thirty years after the close of the
war!
The appropriation for the next
year is already twice as much as the
entire cost of the government in the
year before the war.
Merely to give these official figures
is to convict congress of dishonOr to
true soldiers, of injustice to needy
and deserving veterans, and of reck-
less robbery in the name of patriot
ism such as the world never saw be-
fore.
A congress will be elected some
day that shall deal honestly and cour
ageously with this abuse. The other
alternatives are populations or bank
ruptcy.-N. Y. Herald.
We have no doubt that there have
been mistakes made on the pension
business, and that there is more paid
out by the government than there
ought to be, but we never hear any
remarks in any of the eastern papers
about the eastern men who bought
government bonds at 40 cents and
sold them at $l.2O doing anything
out of the way, but that was bust
ness. The money on these bonds
goes entirely to rich men and corpo-
rations, and on the pension list to
poor men, and eastern papers have
no use for poor men.

MORE WATER WANTED.

The fire yesterday shows that the
town has not an adequate supply of
water and something should be done
at the earliest moment to take steps
to remedy it. II there had been suf-
ficient water, the fire could easily
have been checked before burning
the rubbish at the back of Stearn's
store. Another thing: if the ordi-
nance on irrigating had been enforced
this year there would have been a
better supply of water in the pipes.
There has been no attention paid to
it this year and the result is that ir-
rigating has been done at all hours,
in direct violation of the law. Until
something can be done to enlarge the
water supply by larger mains, or an
other supply, the ordinance should
be carefully enforced, so as to avoid
any chance of repetition of yester-
days scenes.

POLITICAL COMMENT.

This Is not an ordinary break. 1t
is not commonplace rivalry. 1t is
civil war in the Republican party
New York World, Dem.
In the meantime "dark horses" in
abundance will prance about in Min
neapolis, and some of these may yet
spoil the chances of the apparent
favorite in the presidential race
Philadelphia Record.
The Republican party can carry
the approaching presidential election,
but it can do so only by being united.
There must be neither Harrison men
nor Blaine men after the choice of
the convention is made.-New York
Press.
1t can even be said that Mr.. Harri-
son has earned a second term; but
this has ceased to be a,second term
country. 1t is more in accord with
the spirit of our government that
there shall be rotation in Office
New York Advertiser.
The presidential struggle in Min
neapolis is bitterness unprecedented,
and no one can predict the outcome.
The Harrison and Blaine elements
are irreconcileable and both must be
thrown aside to win anything like
harmony. - Atchison Champion,
Dem.
The claquers are on hand as usual.
The men who make the noise in no.
tel lobbies and on the streets, but who
have no more to do with settling the
question than yellow dog, are in
force in about equal proportions for
both Blaine and Harrison, but this
wind work is taken for what it is
worth.-St. Louis Chronicle.
In deciding the momentous ques.
ton which confronts the delegates &c
Minneapolis they must be actuated
by the purest and most unselfsh mo-
tlves and by the highest spirit of pat
riotism. BY their nomination they
must assure the people of an admin.

The SANTA EE's SECOND CLASS RATE

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
company is about to inaugurate a
radical change in second-class trans
continental passenger traffic greater
than ever attempted by any railroad.
Three months ago its management
gave official notice that at the expi-
ration of 80 daysit would reduce the
rate between Kansas City and Cali
fornia points from $35 to $l4.70 as an
off Jet TO the excessive commissions
paid by other lines, which deprived
the Santa Fe of any portion of the
business unless they would make
long time contracts with agents in
New York who control the direction
and routing of immigrants. Vice
President Springer proposed that the
Santa Fe g competitors pledge them
selves to abolish excessive commas
sions if the Santa Fe would with
draw its notice. The Rock Island,
Union Pacific and Rio Grande have
refused. The ninety days will expire
on Friday, and on that day the Santa
Fe will put into effect its new tariff
of $l4.7O from Kansas City and
$24.7O from Chicago. Unless the
recalcitrant companies make terms
