makes Japan an inveterate enemy; if she
consents. she secures japan as firm ally.
If China fails to maintain her claim
over Corea, she will not only be humili-
ated before the nations, but she will be
ripped up by angry rebels within and
suffer possible dismemberment. In the
entire situation Japan alone can look for
ward to an outcome that will not do her
honor harm, smirch her character or
lower her record for bravery. For if she
fails she is not dishonored, nor will fail
ure to break China's hold on Corea dis
credit the effort of Japan. She will come
out of the conflict, even if whipped, with
the respect of other nations.
Japan goes into the war with the best
of everything known in modern warfare.
She has long-range guns for her men, the
best camp equipment. several bridge. tel
ephone and telegraph corps, thorough
hospital supplies and equipment of the
first order. China goes into the war with
soldiers carrying stink-pots, long knives
and steel-pointed poles, as well as guns.
Japan goes into battle with vigor and
after the manner of civilized warfare.
China's troops pause to PROSTATE them
selves and burn red papers before their
idols, and when soldier doubts his of
fcer's ability to lead to victory, he falls
upon his own sword or knife to avoid
defeat.

A Polish crank at Washington is be-
seeching Congress to declare the mini
mum of wages. That is folly. For q
century England tried to fix the rate of
wages by classification according to age
and other standards. She even went so
far as to fix the maximum and confiscate
all earned above that But all her legis-
lative efforts came to nothing. The laws
were simply ignored, and not all the
power of England could enforce them. A
few men were punished now and then,
but the laws became dead letters.

HARPER'S

This great book has seld for years
at SIC to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I63xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SIC and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was SO COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before and has hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only s cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

Making Imitation Diamonds.

The material in which imitation dia-
monds are produced is called strass,
from the name of its inventor, a German
jeweler who flourished at the beginning
Of the present century 1t is perfectly
colorless and transparent glass, or rather
crystal, of irreproachable purity, com
posed of rock crystal, or of white sand,
mixed with oxide of lead, arsenical acid
and other ingredients. Its preparation
demands infinite care and a multitude
Of precautions, to avoid the possibility
of the slightest flaw or bubble being
introduced into the mass, from which
arethen cut the false gems in the pro
portions desired. Small or medium
sized diamonds produce much better
effect than do large ones.
For the best forms of imitation jewel
ry they are cut by the same worlunen
that are employed in executing that
function with real stones. Their task is
much easier, owing to the comparative
softness of strass. equality which causes
ornaments in imitation diamonds to lose
very speedily their brilliancy and their
deceptive aspect. To remedy this state
of things imitation emeralds, rubies and
sapphires are often set with layer OF
slice cut from real precious stone Of in
ferior value and cemented with trans
parent and colorless compound on th'
top Of the false gem. SO as to cover i

THE NEW PLANTATION.
LARGEST SUGAR ESTATE IN THE
COUNTRY.
To Contain 1000 Acres-Company Cap
italized ut $4,000, OOO-Inter-
esting Facts.

The mammoth plantation at Pearl
City, negotiations in the interests of
which have been going on for some
weeks, is now an assured fact. 1t will
be the largest sugar plantation in this
country if not in the world. Upwards
of 1000 acres of rich land will be incor-
porated in the tract. The new planta-
ton will be distinct from Eva.
The great plantation is Mr.. Dilling-
hams conception. He it was who first
thought of it, examined the land, for
INFLATED plans and slept many nights
on the great scheme.
He is the head of the enterprise.
Other meml ers of the Oahu Railway
& Land Company are interested. Messrs
J. II. Patty and w. r. Castle are two of
them. There are many others equally
enthusiastic over the prospects.
The capital stock of the Monmoth
Plantation Company is 81, 200, 900. None
of it will go begging for takers.
The 1000 acres of land to be used in
forming the great enterprise is situated,
in one tract, on this side of Eva north
of Pearl City. The Government road to
Wailua passes through the property and
the railway touches it on the South.
The land begins with an elevation of
200 feet and less and rises to 400 and 800
teet on the north. 1t is, therefore,
rather high, but that is considered a
point in its favor. 1t has been
pronounced equal to the best Hand in
this country 1t is very rich and is
capable of holding its own.
The largest and most complete sugar
mill in the Hawaiian Islands will be
erected upon the new plantation. Eva
mill will be dwarf by its side. Its
daily output will be simply wonderful.
Actual figures are not possible at pres.
ent but the estimate is very high.
The new plantation will be specially
favored in point of water. Springs
upon it will supply 1000 acres easily.
Improved pumping plants will furnish
the balance. Their locations will be
favorable to the needs of the plantation.
The climate will be an improvement on
Eva
The scheme is great one and is now
an assured success. If the prospe, tus
prepared by the promoters is carried
out money can be made on sugar at $50
per ton, which is enough to say for the
enterprise. Mr.. Dillingham; and hl'
colleagues are to be congratulated fol
the success that now stares the project
in the face.

Two Successful Presentations of "Cin
dcrelIa" on saturday.

WI '"'"ihNNs
cinderella" was very successfully
staged by the Daley Company Saturday
afternoon and evening. The scenery
and costumes were very pretty. Kate
Dalgeish in the title role and Louis
BeImour as Pedro were very interesting,
as were Miss Nannary, Richard Scott,
kittic Belmour and p. A. Nannary in
other parts. The songs were very
pleasing and the Honolulu Dance" by
Mollie Stockmeyer brought down the
house.
Before the transformation scene was
introduced Saturday evening Manager
Daley appeared before the curtain
and stated that some gentleman had
been 50 thoughtful as to apply political
significance to the scenery. He wished
every one to understand that he was in
Honolulu in the show business and any
thing that might appear upon the stage
did not represent the ideas or senti-
ments OF any man, set of men or party.
To the casual observer the transfer
nation scene introduced by Mr.. Daley
appeared to describe trip from Homo
lulu TO San Francisco. 1t occurred to
most Of the house on Saturday evening
thai person so ridiculously sensitive as
to attach political significance to the
scenery should at once petition the
agents to stop the Australia and then
rub his head with brick.

MIR. FUJu ENTERTAINED.
Japanese Residents at Sans Souci satur-
day Evening.


The reception to Mr.. Fujii at Sans
Souci Saturday evening was an occasion
long to be remembered by japanese
residents. Vulgarly speaking it was a
''swell" affair. The features of the
entertainment were the decorations,
music and feast. There were fifty-siX
persons present including the japanese
interpreter, Mr.. Doyle.
The decorations were very pretty and
were Hastily arranged. Over $50 Japa-
nese lanterns were used in illuminating
the grounds and buildings, Outside the
gate was pretty arrangement of JaDa-
nese flags, and there was handsome
display of the same inside of the hall.
The dinner was distinctively japanese,
with Jap walters, Jap napkins, Jap
viands and all followed by Jap speeches.
Mr.. Fujii made short address in re-
Spouse to preceding remarks. The
Quintette Club furnished music for the
occasion. The lanterns used have been
left suspended from the trees and will
be relt for the concert this evening.

about 1851.
JAMES CHAMBERLAIN, of Trempeleau,
Wis.
SAMUEL CoNDE, OF Rockford, Ill.
JAMES NJ. ALEXANDER, OF Alameda,
Cal.
1t is to be noted that for over thirty
years the policy of the American Board
has not been such as to encourage our
young men to labor for evangelization of
Hawaiians. Those seeking missionary
employment must go to other lands.
A list may properly here be added Of
daughters Of our missionaries in like
work.
Mis-. MARIA w. PoGUE nee WHITNEY,
for thirty years in missionary service
with her husband, Rev. John f. Pogue.
MRs. PERsIs q. TAYLOR, nee THURsToN.
widow of Rev. 7. L. Taylor, seanens'
chaplain, Lahaina, then first pastor of
Fort Street church. and then long in
home mission service in California.
These two venerable ladies were the
earliest born daughters of the mission.
Mrs. CAROLINE BECKwIrH nee ARM
STRONG, has been for forty years the
sympathetic and devoted coadjutor OF
the Rev. DIR. +. G.. Beckwith, SO emf
nent in pastoral service here and else
where.
Mrs. ANNE +. GULIcK nee CLARK,
for forty years the efficient missionary
partner OF the Rev. Orramel Gulick.
Mrs. MARIA J. FORBES nee CHAMBER
LAIN, an honored and faithful co-laborer
with Rev. a. o. Forbes.
Miss MARY L. GREEN, tireless and
loving laborer for Hawaiian souls for
more than thirty years, eminent in
education and temperance work.
Miss JULIA GULICK, for more than
twenty years a missionary OF the Ameri.
can Board in Japan.
Mrs. LYDIA Il. CoAN nee BINGHAM,
who shared the labors of the eminent
Rev. Titus Coan during the later years
OF his life.
Mrs. FANNY SHEPARD, NJ. D., daughter
OF Rev. G. b. Andrews aud missionary in
Aintab, Turkey.
Mrs. ELLEN BICKNELL nee BoND,
widow OF the devoted missionary Rev.
James Bicknell.
Many other children of old missionary
families might be named who are not
ably active in missionary labors, like
the Smiths of Koloa, the Rices OF Lihue,
the Lymans OF Hilo, the Parkers, Cham
berlains, Mrs. Dillingham; and many
others.
| If some OF our missionaries sons have
reaped large rewards in secular industry,
it cannot be denied that they also contri-
bu'e to the work of the gospel and
education far more literally than Christ
ians do in America.
We cannot refrain from adding that
the inaccuracy of Mr.. Blount's witness
which has thus been shown, largely
characterizes a majority of the testimony
upon which Commissioner Blount based
his report. 1t is needless here to dis
cuss the causes producing this tendency
to erroneous statements.

FASHION DRIFT.

Gowns and wraps of all sorts sparkle
in jet this season.
Ladies' cards are large and nearly
square.-Bazar.
Boucles are again in favor, both in
solid and mixed hues.
Ribbon, in satin, in gros grain and in
velvet, is lavishly used.
The gossips of fashion are again hint
ing darkly at the crinoline scare.
The latest accomplishment of the
fashionable woman is club swinging.
Q Bridesmaids should all be dressed in
one color. Pink is the favorite just now.
Skirts continue to flare at the border,
and likewise do skirts of jackets and
coats.
The younger English girls are wearing
black velvet Tam o. Shanters and wide,
turned-down linen collars.
The new French swallow-tail basques
are smart when worn by slender wo-
men. The seams up the back of a
golden. brown cloth coat OF this descrip-
ton are Tapped and machine-stitched.
The tailor costumes for utility uses
shopping, travelling, walking, etc.-are
made with round skirts that just clear
the ground all around, either in gored
shape or in modified bell form.
The women who cannot afford a vel
vet frock or velvet wrap this winter
should decide to go into retreat. That
is the only way in which she can escape
heart-burning and jealousy.-N. Y. Sun.
Blue is the color of the season. Dinner
services and luncheon services, and, in
deed, all the objects OF table use, are
shown in the favorite color, and we are
told it is to supplant everything else.
Green was in high favor, but it is so no
more.
The velvet capes are particularly gor-
geous affairs. They sparkle with rides
cent beads; they hutter with lace and
are made soft with fur. They are most
daring in color. Rich claret color,
emerald and olive green and brown
dashed with yellow will make the thor.
,oughfares gay.-Chicago Paper.
