This law provides that in payment for
the four million and five hundred thous-

Secretary of the Treasury is commanded
to purchase monthly there shall be issued

clared in the act to be ''the established

ercising the discretion nominally vested in

If by such action the parity between gold
and silver may be disturbed, manifestly a

Edinburgh's New Titles and Estates In
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
1t is not improbable that the Duchess
of Edinburgh had considerable influence
in bringing about the decision of her
husband to resign his admiralship in the
British navy and accept the dukedom Of
Saxe-Coburg- Gotha. The duchess does
not like England over much, and the
English do not like her Immediately
after her arrival i'll England the question
of precedence at court ceremOnials came
up, the duchess insisting on her right as
the daughter of one car and the sister
of another 10 take rank ahead Of the
daughters of the queen. She won her
point, but the victory made her unpop-
lar. Besides this, she never got on well
with the Princess of Wales. and her re-
lations with the queen were rather tiplo-
matte than cordial.
The duke himself was never particu-
larly popular in England, and this fact
may also have had its influence on his
decision, which might have been very

what he was reported as saying at
one of his other meetings, that ''he
did not know how he was going to
get out of the country" he only
knows, unless his palm reading and
psychrometric fakes have paid bet

people.
A few other Howlandisms follow.
These were said before he started
in to threaten cowhiding.

1ONEhNoh buifS. good deal Ike
beginning life over again TO settle down
in such town as Waterloo then was. q
place of few hundred inhabitants in the
midst of an almost unbroken prairie
whose soil had hardly been scratched by
plow.
The prospect was sufficiently uninvit-
ing to make it almost certain that Mr..
Boies would never have gone there if it
had not been for the sake of his wife,
whose parents lived there and whose
health he thought the change would ben
eft. But his wife did not live long after
they settled in Waterloo, and he was left
widower with one daughter. After q
time he married again, and his second
wife also died, leaving him three chill
dren, two sons and n daughter. Since
then he has remained a widower.
While waiting for clients Mr.. Boiesin-
vested his savings in farming lands. His
boyhood had been spent on farm in
Erie county, and he thought he knew
how to make agriculture pay. He did
know how, and the fact that he now
owns upward of 1000 acres, from which
his income averages $4,000 a year, is an
evidence of it.
Governor Boies was Republican up
TO 1888, when he left that party because
of its attitude ON the question of prohi-
bition. He did not use liquor himself,
but did not believe in restricting its use
by legal enactments. His attitude at
tractea the attention of the Democracy,
who soon came to consider him an avail
able candidate for governor, and in 1899
ne was nominated and elected. In 1891
he was reelected by plurality of s,2f6
votes.
Governor Boies was born at Aurora,
Erie county, n. Y, in 1897, and after a
youth of considerable hardship and
dearth of opportunities was admitted to
the bar when % years of age. In 1858
he was member of the state legisla-
ture, and in 1866 came very near being
the opposition candidate to Grover
Cleveland for district attorney of Erie,
losing the Republican nomination by
only two votes

Chancellor long ago declared that it was
impossible that a foreigner should ever
again occupy q German throne. Bis

dukes SOL. Prince Alfred, who was edu-
Gated at Cobtlrg under German infu-
ences. and as most people supposed with
the idea of having him succeed his grand
uncle instead of his father.
The rumor that the duke intends to
abdicate in favor Of his son when the
young man attains his majority will
probably remain unverifed, for the
prince was declared legally of age
year ago, with the especial design, as it
was then thought, Of shutting his father
out from the regency. With his throne
the duke inherits vast estates in Thu
ringa, Austria, and the Tyrol and num-
berless castles, chateaux and hunting
lodges, besides long string of titles 10

ton, and the good things disap-
peared with will. The meeting
closed a little after 8 O'Clock.
A SHORT HISTORY.

On the 18th of February, 1867,
Mutsuhito succeeded his father in
the midst of that extraordinary
revolution which made the mikado
supreme and opened the country
to foreigners. The next year
he was crowned, and in 1859
married a noble lady named Ha-
ruko. Of their children but one
survives, and that is Prince Yoshil-
vito-Haruko MICA, who was crown
ed in 1889 as heir apparent. Al
though the progress of the country
has been so rapid and all western
visitors are enthusiastic as to its
future, so much remains to be done
that the future of the liberal Nut
suhito is of interest to the world.
Certainly his action in sitting for
portrait to please the Europeans
shows a remarkable change from
the days when the mikado lived
absolutely secluded.
No other country in the world
probably has made such swift ad-
vances in the past twenty-five years
as Japan, and it is largely the work
of this ruler. The Japanese were
long ago called the yankees of the
Orient" and since 1867 they have
adapted their systems of trade,
dress, society and government to
the western model so rapidly that
they are counted among the most
advanced of nations. They are in
deed a peculiar people, and among
their many peculiarities not the
least is that they are the only ma
ton in the world practically with
out religion.

AVA DRINKING.
How 1t Is Made and Used BY
Native HaRaiians.

The fact that the yearly sale of
ava licenses is again advertised by
the government is supplemented by
the following brief account of the
manufacture and use of the article !:
The natives of Hawaii and other
tropical islands of the Pacific drink
ava chiefly because of its intoxicat-
ing qualities, but some use it for its
medicinal properties. Ava is grown
in high attitudes on the mountain
sides.
There are several kinds of ava,
but the favorite variety, used by
the kahunas (priests), is the ava
hiwa. This species brings a high
price, especially when the victims
of the kahuna's arts apply for
such.
The tubers of the ava are first
dug and thoroughly dried in the
sun. When it is dry (although
some natives use it freshly dug
from the ground), it is ready for
use. A group of natives, when
preparing to drink ava, gather
around a large container, generally
of wood, and chew small pieces of
the root; when thoroughly masti-
Gated it is elected with the saliva
into the container. The quantity
thus prepared depends upon the
number of those who intend to i'm
bibe.
Small boys and girls are prefer
able as "awa chewers," but when
these are not at hand, then the old
folks give a hand, or rather a jaw.
Some natives pound their ava in
stone mortars with pestles, but the
"good old natives prefer the chew
ed or mama" ava.
When there is sufficient chewed
ava IN the basin, q quantity OF
water is added. The process of
separating the chewed fibres is
called "hoka ava" or sewing
"ahuawa." Sometimes sisal rope is
used for straining, until nothing
but the pure liquid is left in the
basin. After this process is re-
peated two or three times, then the
ava is ready for use.
After drinking ava, the natives
usually eat bananas, potatoes or
sugar cane, to kill the peculiar
taste. Ava is said to be "ona,"
that is, possessing intoxicating
qualities. The effects of the in
toxication generally begin within
an hour and lasts from six to eight
hours. The intoxication produces
much the same affect as opium.

SOMEWHAT OF A BOG.
Loueee Goes One Better Than
Jack Rice and ST Edison.


Say, 81, what was the size of
that shark We caught outside this
orning-twenty-eight feet?" said
Captain Rice, of the tug boat, yes
terday afternoon. when the usual
quota of water-fronters had gath
cred on the Eleu for an afternoon
chat.
''Twenty-eight feet p' said Edison.
"Your memory isn't any longer
than one of Howland's cowhides,
Rice. You measured thatfish your
self, and it was thirty-two feet six
inches long. Why can't you tell
the truth once in a while? That's
as bad as the way you told about
the turtle I caught near the Inter-
Island wharf last Tuesday. You
know l measured it with a tape
line, and it was nineteen feet in
circumference and had a head four
teen inches long. You told the
boys it was only eighteen feet and
a half around. Be truthful, Rice,
or you'll never have the good repu-
tation that I've got for sticking to
the facts of every story | tell"
Speaking of large sharks and
turtles" said one of the Lougee
brothers, who was sitting near by,
reminds me of an animal that l
had on my ranch in California.
There is a good deal of
swamp land on this ranch, and
it is a heaven for hogs. But we
can't get near enough to them to
tame them, and they are very wild
and ferocious. One old boar, espe-
cially, was a ring-tailed tooter for
fighting, and was killing off all the
others as fast as he could. We tried
to get him, but couldn't for a long
time. At last one of the boys was
riding down near the edge of the
swamp, and heard a terrific noise
just ahead of him. He unswung
his rifle, for they always had to go
armed, and went cautiously ahead.
There was Grover, as we had
named the big boar, stuck fast to
a big redwood tree. He had run
one of his tusks clear through it,
and the point was sticking out the
other side. The boy shot him, land we
sent down pair of oxen to haul
the carcass to the house. You
may not believe it, but when we
tried that hog out, we got 1859
pounds of lard from him. Fact,
and his tusks were twenty-nine
inches long from the base"
When Mr.. Lougee had finished
the tugs whistle blew long blast
of its own accord, and Rice and
Edison had tainted. The diver soft
ly withdrew, and told the ADvER-
Users shark and marine editor
that they had better not try to fill
him up with any of their back
number yarns.

HA WAH VS.. JAPAN.
a Small Fight on Maunakea
Street Yesterday.

A Jap who had been celebrating
the natal day of his august en-
peror rather freely yesterday, was
met on Maunakea street by a ma
tive who had been celebrating be-
cause he had nothing special to
celebrate about, and trouble en-
sued. The native did not like the
looks of the Jap's costume, and
probably told him SO, for the little
fellow reached up to his big an
tagonist and punched him in the
jaw. Before the surprised native
could recover, another Corbett
swing had landed. But then he
woke up, and literally wiped the
ground with the Mikado's subject.
Hawaii certainly bested Japan in
that encounter, though the former
had few scratches.

Hawaiians in Chicago.

Jno. NJ. Kaulunahele, the leader
of the four native singers who left
here with G. c. Beckley some time
ago, to sing in the Kilauea cyclor-
anna building at the Worlds Fair,
has written a letter to friend in
this city. He states that Mr.. Beck
ley was very kind and attentive to
them, and they we're glad to see the
great fair. Kaulunahele has sent
several books of sacred music for
the use of the Kaumakapili church
choir, of which he is choIr-master.

the time and the money to cele-
brate. Maunakea street was very
gay with flags and bunting, and
pretty little Yum Yums and cute
Pitt Sings were seen on every
hand.
Officially, the day was celebrated
by reception at the Japanese con-
sulate on Nuuanu avenue, where
Mr.. Full, his Imperial Japanese
Majesty's representative here, held
reception. The large house and
grounds were both thrown open to
visitors, and delicate luncheon
was served to all.
Prominent representatives of the
Provisional government, and of the
United States, England, France
and all other countries officially
represented here, were present and
gave their congratulations to Mr..
Full on the emperor's having safely
passed another year of his reign.
The reception lasted until o'clock.
At noon the Philadelphia, which
was gayly decked with flags, fired
national salute of twenty-one
guns.
In the evening there was a large
patriotic meeting at the Armory on
Beretania street. At least five hun
bred japanese were in the hall and
all seemed to enjoy the proceedings.
The open sides of the armory had
been enclosed with large flags of all
nations and the hall was lighted
entirely with Japanese lanterns,
big and little, all of gay colors,
which gave very soft, beautiful
light. Across the street in front of
the building extended three long
lines of the same kind of lanterns.
On the mauka side of the hall
was the speakers stage, and back
of this a large Japanese flag. I'm
derneath this, was an inscription
in Japanese, appropriate to the
occasion. In the upper end was
the refreshment table, a huge af-
fair laden down with delicacies,
and with the one word, "Welcome"
on it in large letters. The other
end was occupied by the Hawaiian
band, which played during in
termissions between the speeches.
The meeting was opened by the
Rev. Mr.. Oku, who stated that the
object of the meeting was to cele-
brate their rulers birthday. He
gave place to Mr.. Fugii, who read
the imperial message, and after him
came, in quick succession, Messrs.
Sugiyama, Uchida, Aoki, Midzano,
Ono and others. The audience
was very attentive one, and fire.
quent applause greeted the efforts
of the speakers.
When the literary programme
was over, three cheers for the EN-
peror and for Japan we're called
for and given with true japanese
fervor. After this demonstration.
