THE STEVENS SERVICE.
THE ORDER FOR 1T SOON TO
BE PLACED.
An Elegant Gift to the Late United
States Minister From Admiring
Hawaiian Friends.

Reports having been circulated from
Royaist and other sources that the
proposition to present the Hon. J. l..
Stevens, ex-Unlted States Minister,
with a souvenir silver service had fallen
through, STAR reporter investigated
the matter this morning with the fol-
lowing result:
The amount proposed to be raised
in the first place was $1,000 in one thou
sand one-dollar subscriptions. OF this
sum but a very small amount is yet
lacking or, properly speaking, nothing
is lacking, as the full amount has been
guaranteed by several gentlemen in
terested in the matter. 1t is desired,
however, to get one thousand names on
the subscription list, and for that pur
pose it is being kept open by the com,
mittee in charge. Subscriptions are
coming in from the other islands almost
daily, and at the present rate in a few
days the requisite number will be OBJ
tanned.
To Offset the report that the propo-
sition has fallen through, the STAR is
enableed to inform its readers that the
order for the presentation service is
already written, and that it will 20 for
ward on the Picking to-day if she calls
here; if not, on the next mail. The
responsibility Of selecting designs for
the service has been entrusted to
Messrs. Charles Brewer & Co, of
Boston, who have been instructed to
have the work done by the Graham
Silver Manufacturing Company in their
best style.
The service will consist of a tea set
of six pieces and large tray, On the
tray will be an engraving representing
the Government House in Honolulu,
with the American flag, hoisted by
Minister Stevens orders, in PLAIN view.
Underneath will be this inscription:
Presented to the Hon. John L..
Stevens by the residents of the Ha-
waiian Islands, in token Of their regard
and esteem"
The above inscription will also be
engraved in scroll work on each sepa-
rate piece of the set, which is tended
to be the handsomest that can be OBJ
tanned for the money. No formal
presentation of the service will be made,
as orders will be sent to the manufaC-
turers to forward it to Mr.. Stevens at
his home in Augusta, Maine, as soon
as completed, the original list of the
1000 subscribers only being sent with
it.
The committee in charge Of the
matter are Messrs. Charles Hall and
Henry Davis, to whom much praise is
accorded by American residents for the
manner in which they have discharged
their duties.

THE LATE GEN. ARMS rRONG.
The New York Nations" Tribute to
the Famous Hawaiian.

the Famous Hawaiian.
The death of General S. c. Arm
strong, head of the Hampton (Va)
Institute, is a sad loss to the country,
and especially to the South. From the
establishment of this institution, few
years after the close of the war, he has
been its moving spirit, and he soon
made it one of the most potent educa
tional forces in the nation. Founding
it when the prejudice against education
of the negroes was most bitter among
their former masters, he conducted it
with such judgment and wisdom as to
win the confidence of the whites; and
the leading men not only of Virginia,
but of the South generally, have long
recognized him as a public bene-
factor. A Union soldier during the war
and a Republican from the establish
ment Of the party, he had no patience
with the narrow minded spirit which too
many of his old associates manifested
towards the South, and he sympathized
fully with it in the difficult problems
thrust upon it for solution by the eman-
cpation and Acknowledgement of de-
graded slaves. He realized that the
chief need of the negro was to be
taught how to earn his living and to
become a good citizen, and he made
the Institute a fountain from which
flowed a constant stream of young men
and women who had been taught this
cardinal lesson, and who were prepare q
to teach it to others of their race. o.
late years he has combined with thi:
work a similar training for the Indian
and there are to-day scattered ovel
the South and West, thousands of eacl
race who bear the impress of his inspir
ing and uplifting spirt,-Natiom.

Will Take No Action.

AS far as can be ascertained the
trustees of the Anglican Church in Ha-
wall will take no action on the order of
Bishop Willis recently published. The
members of the Second Congregation
do not seem to concern themselves
about the matter and will probably
await the next move of His Lordship.

SCHAEFER'S STORE ROBBED.
A Burglary Takes Place Close to the
Police Station.

FOlCe StaIlOH
A small burglary was committed at
f. A. Schaefer & Cos. store on the
corner of Merchant and Kaahumanu
street last night and 81 so in money
and some stamps and soap amounting
to a few dollars more were stolen.
The burglar secured entrance through
the makai roof by taking off few
states and making a hole measuring
about one by one and half feet, hav-
ing crawled up to the roof by means of
the hosting tackle in the rear of the
store. Being in such close proximity
to the police station as this store is,
the neat and quiet way in which this
burglary took place naturally chagrins
the boobies who were on watch there
last night The burglary was not dis
covered until this morning by the JAM
tor of the store.

as the rats ate the poi the organ never

squeak and rattle out "rhe Whiskers

Entertaining Visitors.


We Americans are proud. and justly
so, of our reputation for hospitality but
there is sometimes too much of good
thing, and we are often tempted into an
exaggerat.on Of this virtue. In many
we'll meaning hOstesses there seems to
exist fear that their guests may find
some stray moments during the day for
which no entertainment has been pro-
vided. The unfortunate guests are kept
busy every minute ''being entertainer
until physically and mentally they are
exhausted. Not a few people object to
making visits, and simply for the reason
that they are never left to themselves,
never have any time to occupy as they
choose.
English hostesses are much more SEN
sible in this respect. In England guest
in a country house has a good part of
the day to dispose of as he or she may
fancy and as a result, pleasant, home
like feeling much to be desired pervades
the atmosphere of the house. Neither
host nor hostess appears to be laboring
to provide perpetual entertainment for
their guests, and the latter have plenty
of time to write their letters, read their
books and enjoy other like peaceful
amusements. In q town house mascu-
line visitor receives night key as a
pleasant intimation he is to go and come
as he likes.--New York Tribune

Early Rising In the Metropolis.

Two women who spent q week in New
York the last of June kept quiet about
one Of their experiences until a day or
two ago. when they confessed the joke
too good to keep.
They were aunt and niece and entirely
unused to the city. On the morning after
their arrival the niece discovered on con-
sulting her watch that they had slept
late, as it was 500, and waking her aunt
the two dressed as fast as possible and
started for breakfast.
They had rooms in West Sixteenth
street near Fifth avenue and intended to
breakfast at the ST. Denis. They walked
on placidly, struck with the quiet of q
great city on q summers morning and
interestedly looking about them till it
seemed as if they had accomplished dis
lance enough to reach their destination.
The neighborhood, too, had grown very
common and shabby, and at last they ac-
costed q workingman whom they met.
He laughed when he heard that they
wanted Broadway
I'm block more: said he, you'll be
at the river" and true enough they We're
close upon Eleventh avenue.
They turned, and having no idea of
the actual distance walked all the way
east to the hotel, wondering and com
menting on the remarkable absence Of
hustle in the streets.
When they finally reached the restau-
rant, it was to find it almost deserted,
and their inquiry for breakfast met with
word that they would have to wait for it
a short tine.
''Waitr exclaimed the aunt, why,
what time do New Workers breakfast"
'.Not many" replied the man, Sat a
quarter p;>st ..
The near, .nted niece had read the
watch U-rons md had got her aunt and
herself UP at 30 minutes to 4 o'clock

ARE THESE LOVING MOTHERS?

A woman writing in a weekly jour
nal talks very sensibly of some mat
tiers touching the treatment of chill
dren, which are pertinent to mothers.
She says:
eve love our children very much,
Who does uot know the child in a
small hood in the hot summer sun, get
ting its eyes hurt in the dazzling light?
Who does not know the babies under
handkerchiefs which keep them
breathing the same air over and over
again? Who does not know the bare
arms, the bare legs, the bare necks of
little ones whose delicate frames are
far less fitted than ours would be to
bear the same exposure? A mother
was talking about these matters to me
once, and said: ooh, [ could not bear
to cover his neck. I do love kissing
itl' She was what you call loving
mother,-therea are certainly many and
different ways of showing love. We
are reminded of that excellent lady
who said, kissing don't last, but
cookery do, land we say, kissing don't
last, but good health does If our
Vaccinations were now more awake
and our willingness to obey custom
were less active. we could, not only
in clothes, but also in food, give them
better chance to grow up with sight
and hoarinor active and VioOrOlIS and
all their powers of mind and body

fore them''

SWEET PICKLED WATERMELON
Kinds.

Peel the rinds with a sharp knife
that will take off the green skin even
ly. Trim off also every trace of the
pink flesh of the fruit, because it is
too juicy to make firm, crisp pickle.
Then cut the strips of rind into small
pieces two or three inches long, and
placing them in a large earthern dish,
sprinkle them lightly and evenly with
salt Cover the dish, and let it stand
over night. In the morning drain off
the water that will have formed, rinse
the rinds in cold water land cook them
in steamer until broom splint will
readily pierce them. Cooking the
rinds by steam is an easy method, as
they are less liable to burn than when
cooked in the spiced vinegar. When
the rinds are tender, take them out
carefully with a skinner, and put
them into stone jar. Take good CT
der vinegar for the basis of the pickle.
Allow a pound of sugar to a pint of
vinegar, and add also half an ounce of
stick cinnamon broken into inch piec-
es, and a Tablespoonful each of
whole cloves and blades of mace. The
whole amount of vinegar, sugar, and
spices used must of course depend on
the quantity of rinds to be picked, but
a quart of vinegar is usually sufficient
for the rinds of medium sized mel
on. Boil the vinegar, sugar, and
spices together vigorously half an
hour, skimming off the froth. and pour
the pickle boiling hot over the rinds
Press the rinds down under the pickle
by means of an earthen plate or sauc-
er, fasten the cover on, and tie cloth
over the whole. These pickles will
be ready for use in two weeks.
