EXHIBITS FROM SIAM.
AN INTERESTING DISPLAY AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.

How the Land Of the White Elephant Is
Represented In the Manufactures, Agri-
cultural, Foresty, Transportation and
Woman's Buildings.
The trouble i'm eastern Asia has drawn
attention to Slams display vt the World s
fair, and thousands of people who would
ordinarily have given them but a cursory
inspection now devote considerable time to
studying the details of the exhibits sent
thither by the kingdom of the white ele-
plant. There are more of them than most
persons expect to find, and they occupy
space in the Manufactures, Agricultural,
Forestry, Transportation and Woman's
buildings and include many things that,
though centuries old in the orient, have
all the charm of novelty for the majority
of western beholders.
Slams display in the Manufactures build
ing is especially interesting and valuable.
The pavilion in which it is displayed was
manufactured in Siam expressly for the
purpose and presents gorgeous oriental
appearance. 1t is a unique combination of
gliding and glass, and the front is deco
rated with enormous elephant tusks valued
at s., 600 apiece. The collection is rich in
gold, silver and ivory in strange but beau
tiful forms Cuspidors worth $500, for in
stance, are made of gold alleged with cop
per, and large deliberately decorated rice
bowl of silver is vailed at $1,000. There are
also papieT naache dishes inlaid with moth
er of pearl and many curious musical in

A Noteworthy Carpet.

A curious history is attached to a carpet
used in the production at the Prince of
Wales theater of the comic opera, Poor
Jonathan" When the star of Napoleon
III was at its zenith, an Aubusson carpet
of magnificent description was ordered by
General Fleury for the chateau at Com
peigne, but when it was seen by the en-
peror directions were given that it should
be transferred to the Tuileries. In 1871.
during the commune, the carpet was appro-
priated and with other artistic works dis,
| atched to Austria. The carpet has since
had several owners, but owing to its size
has pr owed practically useless.
To its present possessor it was sold for
2150 believed to be about an eighth part OF
fits original value. So much is thought of
this carpet which in Poor Jonathan" IL
laid down in the reception room Of the mil
lionaire Nandergold by the manager of the
Prince of Wales, that he has had the
dresses Of the characters appearing in this
scene made to harmonic with its colorA
Such a circumstance is probably unique In
theatrical annals.-London Chronicle

A Cheeky Midshipman.

On board of a man.ofwar bound
home from China was young midship-
man named tones. The midshlpmen
on board stood their watch forward, and
every hour it was their duty to come
aft and write up the weather columns
of the ships log, showing the readings
of the barometer thermometer, and to
heave the chip.log for her speed.
The captain, in company with the
officer of the deck, was conversing when
Midshpiman Jones came aft to write up
the log The barometer, a mercurial
one, was hung in the captains cabin,
and Jones, after having read it, helped
himself literally to the captains sherry
on the cabin sideboard In walking
the poop, the captain happened tc
glance down the skylight and saw the
midshipman's proceedings. When Jones
came up ON the poop to heave the log
the captain addressed him as follows
How is the barometer, STRIP
Jones saluted, and said STEADILY
rising, sir steadily rising"
The captain then asked "And how
is the decanter, sir?"
Jones was taken aback, but with a
steady voice replied: steadily falling
sir steadily falling"
This reply was too much for the cap
tain, and, bursting out laughing, ht
said "Young man, it is long way It
Frisco, SO hereafter beg ofyou not t
consult the decanter as often as you dc
the barometer" - Detroit Free Press

Are we to be, or not to be,
a part of the Great Republic,
seems to be the burning qucs-
ton of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads
than ours to solve; and while
great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentous question,
we want to have a little "bo7v-
7vO7v :" with you on some other
subjects, that concern you as
well as ourselves.
Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these
progressive times if you intend
to be "in it, you've got to keep
pace with fashion. No matter
how otherwise well dressed
you may be, unless your hat is
the correct thing you bear a
shabby appearance.
We have already laid in a
stock of the Latest Hats of the
coming Spring and Summer
styles, in hard felts, soft felts
and straws, and including a line
of the celebrated " FEDORA "
Hats, at present all the rage in
the United States. There is
therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
odd Tile that bears such a
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore"
Believing that business will
be better in the near future, we
have not hesitated to keep our
stock full in all lines. Take
collars for instance We have
almost everything you could
wish for. you wear a stand
ing collar, just come in and

you want in the mems line,

we can't suit you, we don't be-
lieve any one can.

Occidental and Oriental steamship
companies, relating to Chinese pas
sengers who have or may be refused 9
landing here on account of fraudulent
passports or otherwise. The matter
virtually asks permission to land pas
sengers here in quarantine whenever i,
was not deemed desirable to take them
on to San Francisco. Mr.. Smith stated
that in view of the discriminating
policy at this port by these compani, S
the application had been denied. The
matter was brought up solely for the
information of the Council.
Councilman Emmeluth called atten-
ton to the fact that in the battalion
drill last night the Government was
only represented by two men. He
offered resolution to the effect that
all employees of the Government under
the age of forty.hve should be required
to enroll themselves in some one of the
volunteer companies, and all over that
age in the Citizens Reserve.
Mr.. Brown moved to refer the matter
to the Executive, and followed it up
with a speech denouncing it. After
considerable discussion, the matter was
referred to the Military Committee
In his speech, during the delivery
Of which the Councilman became quite
heated, Mr.. Brown scored the Annexa-
ton Club, claiming that it was attempt
ing to dictate to the Government what
it should and should not do, and that
the Government owed it to itself to sit
down upon all such interference with
its prerogatives as the revolution
aimed at.
The second reading of the appro-
oriation bill was then called up and the
bill passed.
The bill in relation to the extension
of time of the franchise Of the Oahu
Railroad Company was laid over for

THE HAMAkUA FOREST.
Prompt Measures to Be Taken for Its
Preservation.

The Government is taking steps, in
conjunction with a number of planters
who are interested, to build fence
through the Hamakua forest, with the
object of preventing the further in
roads of cattle. The destruction OF
the underground and young trees in
the lower part of the forest from the
ravages of cattle ranging on the Parker
estate has been so great of late years
as to seriously affect the rainfall and
water supply Of the Puukapu plains.
The proposed fence will start from a
point in the road called Mud Lane and
traverse the Hamakua forest between
its lower and upper limit, cutting off
the Parker estate from the rest of the
forest, and will be about nine miles
long,
1t is also proposed to take similar
steps in regard to the Kohala noun
tains, whose towering peaks, $500 feet
above the sea level, furnish the water
supply for Waimea and the plains be-
low it. Each year the cattle are get,
