THE FERRIS HOTEL BURNS.
For The Third Time In the Course of
Its Existence it Suffers From
C0nflagration-Insnred.

J. A. Gillian, proprietor of the
Merchants Hotel, had his furniture
stroyed by fire and water last night.
CD. Ferris, owner of the building,
suffered loss estimated at between
$1,000 and $500. The former was
insured through J. D. Tucker for
$1,000 and the latter through Hop
kins & Ricketts, for 50 900.
1t was exactly 1925 when Mr..
Gillian heard the negroes of Flat
Rock yelling fire. at thefop of their
voices. He looked outand saw that
the kitchen was burning in big
way and he Immediately gave the
alarm throughout the house, which
was filled with guests who had all
retired. 1t was only a moment till
the occupants, both male and fe-
male, were bursting from their
rooms half-clad, carrying as many
garments as was possible. They
were severely frightened, but had
plenty of time to escape and get all
their clothes. The fire caught from
the kitchen and found its way to
the roof, doing more damage on the
second and third stories than on the
first. The fire company deserves
credit for controlling the flames in
such an admirable manner, kutin
accomplishing this the furniture
suffered from water.
Mr.. Gillian has what furniture
was not burned stored in the vacant
rooms across the street, where he
will open up a lunch counter for
the present.
Mr.. Ferris will repair the damage
at once and Mr.. Gillian will resume
business, as he has the house leased.

that seven out of every ten Demo

to be their choice"
Speaking of the situation gen.
orally Mr.. Dyer said that the mo-
ment one crosses the Alleghenies he
would find that a majority of the
Democrats were for Cleveland, about
the only variation being few who

MONUMENT PROPOSITION.

! he KnIukaul Monument Associa-
ton ought to shake itself up and do
sumc,hIDg. Either adopt measures
for raising larger fund than that
already collected, or do the best it
can with the small means available.
Mr.. Allen Hutchinson, an accom-
plished sculptor, who is the only one
living who has made studies from
life of the late King sitting for the
purpose, is here now but may not re-
main many months. The Associa-
tion has an offer from Mr.. Hutchin-
son on the basis of the two thousand
dollars or so subscribed by the peo-
pie under the one dollar limit. For
an amount approximating this fund,
it is learned, Mr.. Hutchinson offers
10 furnish the model for life size
bronze bust and have it cast in Lon
don, he taking all the expense and
risk of transmission. Owing to the
state of the times it is almost useless
to think of materially increasing the
fund By dollar subscriptions. The
work proposed would be respectable
and an appropriate ornament of the
Legislative chamber. If a greater
one cannot be obtained, the bronze
bust should be ordered. 1t is not right
for the Association to keep the peo-
pies money and do nothing toward
using it for its purpose. Should the
Association much longer remain tor
pid, somebody might buy up the dol
lar +, ccipts and present them for re-
d,mpti N 10 the treasurer. The two
thousand dollars would better be in
circ ,alion than lying idle to no.

HAWAIIAN HISTORY.

One of the most interesting rs well
as important public documents laid
before the Legislative Assembly this
session is the Special Report of the
Committee on Foreign Relations in
Reference to an Appropriation for
the Preservation and Arrangement
of the Government Archives and the
Preparation of photography of the
Hawaiian Kingdom" In opening
the report says: "rhe members OF
the committee have personally visited
the apartment in which the public
and historical archives of this coun-
try are temporarily stored, and are
reluctantly compelled to announce to
the Legislature that these archives
are in condition that reflects moth
ing but discredit upon the nation.
1t is their belief that no other civilized
country on the face of the earth has
been so Indifferent as ours to the
preservation and arrangement of the
materials pertaining to its nation
al history. For this condition
of affairs no blame attaches itself to
the members of the present Cabinet,
for the mischief was done long before
they came into office. 1t is to the
credit of the present Cabinet, on the
contrary, that one of its members,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
recognizing the existing evil, has
brought the matter before the pre-
sent Legislature in his biennial re-
port, and has asked for suitable
appropriation to repair, as far as is
now possible, the damage that has
already been DONE"
The committee gives some descrip-
tion of wealthy mass OF historical
material, largely in manuscripts of
the fathers of the country, the nature
of which was some years ago investi-
gated and reported on by Professor
Alexander, and later by Rev. r. r.
Hoes, a chaplain of the United States
navy now residing here, whose valua-
able services in the matter are eulo-
gized by the committee. Mr.. Hoes
was detached from the U. S. $. Pen
sacola, when she left our waters,
through the special request of the
| Queen transmitted to the Department
of State at Washington, on the
ground Of the inestlmable services he
had proved by preliminary operations
he could render the Kingdom in his
torical labors. An outline of the
plan of action to be adopted, under
the proposed appropriation, prepared
by Mr.. Hoes, is embodied in the
committees report.
