1t Is Persistentiy Revived and Finally Or
cialIy Answered by Wales.
The story that the Duke of York some
years ago contracted mOrganatic mar
riage with the daughter of an English
admiral has been persistently revived
until at last it has called forth an official
denial. The Prince of Wales secretary
wrote a letter TO private inquirer last
week saying:
II am desired by the Prince of Wales
TO state that the report to which you al
lude is so obviously invented for the
mere purpose of causing pain and an
noyance TO an innocent young couple
that his royal highness has always de-
clined TO allow the story to obtain fur
Their currency by any contradiction from
him. There is of course not the shadow
of foundation for it, but it is none the
less cruel and malignant. "

the archbishop of Canterbury is also

The Strange INTERVIEWING OF the Number
With Events In His Life.
An interesting discovery has just been
made by contributor to a French peri
odical, who has apparently touch of
superstition in his character concerning
numbers Whether or no he believes in
the mysterious and uncanny influence
of number 3 is not stated, but he points
out that the unfortunate President Car
not was throughout his life under the
influence, so to say, of the figure z.
He was born in 1887 and entered the
Ecole Polytechnique in 1857. He be-
came president of the republic in 1887
by virtue of the seventh article Of the
constitution. On the 18th of May i'll the
present year he presided at the cente-
nary fetes at the Ecole Polytechnique.
He died in the fifty year of his
age and in the seventh year Of his presi-
dency.
In the carriage in which he was seat
ed when assassinated there were, in

the crime being committed on a Sun
day, the seventh day of the week, by
Cesario, an Italian, there being respec-
lively seven letters in these two words.
To conclude this list of sevens, it is
pointed out that NJ. Carnot's remains
were laid in the tomb in the seventh
month of the year and ON the seventh
day after the murder was committed.
1t might be added that Cesario came
from Cette to commit it, and that the
pronunciation of Cette and sept (seven)
is identical. -London Standard.

Those who think themselves
worldly-wise act in various ways
that are both interesting and in
structive. You can persuade bust
ness man into anything good by the
intelligent use of wise and moderate
argument, but this has no weight
with a woman. They like what they
like because. They are more
careful, know values better, and will
not be deceived. To talk Quick
Sales and Small Profits without
meaning it, would be suicide. We
do talk it and do mean it. Our sales
s7to,o you also, believe it. Its to those
who may be unacquainted with this
fact that we are trying to reach.
We said we would mention
WOODEN GOODS this week and so
we will. We have been making con-
siderable effort for some time back
to buy the best to be had in the line,
and will offer this week some of the
handsomest Cashmere's ever offered
in Honolulu. Our evening shades OF
Colored Woolens are positive beau
ties-in fact in our line of Colored
Woolens it would be hard to ask for
what you want and not find it.
These goods run in all qualities with

We have few remnants of Black
Cashmere, just what you want-be-
cause they are yours for little
money.
We also want to mention Handker-

very much pressed to publish the mem
oirs of her husband, of which four
manuscript copies are in existence, and
these are IN the hands of the family.
The memoirs cover the Algerian, Cri-

of 1901. 1t may be hoped that the
work will appear, as the memoirs are OF
the very highest interest and impor-
lance, but there must not be any edi-

be printed just as the marshal left them.

mAxlM's FLYING MACHINE.
An Otherwise Successful Trial Spoiled by a
surplus of Lifting Power.

Hiram Maxim's flying machine his
gained considerable notOriety the past
week. On Tuesday the inventor, with two
assistants, III machine weighing 8, 600
pounds, succeeded III flying 500 yards
The experiment ended III an accident
because the machine insisted ON flying
higher than Maxim wished. It started
along the track, but broke loose from
the check rail, which was intended %
hold it within Il few inches Of the
ground, and when the engineer shut OF
steam 1t dropped on the turf.
The machine, with its four side sails
and ''aerOplanes" set, Is 100 feet wide
and looks like - huge white bird with
four wings instead Of two. 1t is pro
PEELED by two large two bladed screws
resembling the prOpellers Of ship.
These screws are driven by two engines
which, III proportion TO their weight,
are the most powerful ever made They
develop one horsepower for every two
pounds Of their weight. The boiler is
of novel design. 1t consists of many
tiny tubes through which Is a forced
circulation of water.
On Tuesday Maxim started with q
pressure of 80 pounds, which had risen
70 800 when he had traversed 800 yards.
These 500 yards were run at the rate of
- miles an hour, the propellers making
500 revolutions per minute. The fuel
used is gasoline. The weight of the ma
chine - s, 900 pounds, and the engines
were giving lifting power Of 10000
There was. therefore, "a surplus fioata-
tory power of 1000 pounds. 1t was, OF
course, this surplus lifting power that
did the mischief by throwing on the
controlling axles strain they had not
been designed TO bear.-London Letter.

Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS Oh
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

The attention of Planters
and Agents is called to the
following letter from Mr..
JOHN A. SCOTT, Manager of
the Hilo Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
Just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAINAKU, Hno, HAWAII,
January ed, 1s94.5
HON. Wa G.. IRWIN, Honolulu, IL. l.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours OF tie
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
Iwould beg to say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plans cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more ] see of
its capabilities, the better pleased l am
that put it in, as | am satisfied that IL
will repay the original outlay In a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives il
without the Intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of q
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four (4) men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount OF cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, rs in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But 1 find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll min
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the freA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine at work TO fully appe-
ciate its capabilities.
I remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.

There was a very large congregation of
students and their friends to hear the part
ing words to the class from the brilliant
head OF this successful institution. Dr.
Rankin'S sermon was an able and eloquent
effort He took the ground that young
man who leaves Christian home to enter
a Christian college cannot be without his
losses. But 1t teaches him to be more in
dependent and self-reliant, and to subsu-
tute his own Christian living FOR that which
came from the atmosphere of his home.
Many man. said he, never knows his de-
pendence upon Christian surroundings until
he comes TO leave them. Then he went on
to point out clearly and convincingly how
much depends upon religious training and a
Christian character in the life OF every
man.

A GOOD WORK.
The Hope and Help Mission Officially
Comm ied.


Mr.. john Tracy, superintendent Of chart
ties for the District, has written letter TO
Commiss Toner Ross, highly commenting the
Hope and Help Mission, which Is asking
special donations Of clothing. money, ETC.,
today In support of it's work Mr. Tracy
says: 1.-The institution is highly deserving of
encouragement and support. and that the
best practicable use is made of inadequate
accommodations. The establishment is
managed with economy, energy and deyo-
ton to Il much needed work. Its expenses
are light and the only salary paid Is fifteen
dollars per month to competent matron.
The Hope and Help Mission cares not only
for unfortunate women, to whom it's doors
are never closed, but also frequently
for their children. In three such cases,
good homes were recently obtained for
mother and child. This mission is not an
experiment but an institution of merit
proven by long trial. and filling a special
need For refuge for a most unfortunate
class in the heart of the city, it necessarily
relieves the criminal courts of much work
by preventing crime through despair. 1t is
to be relied on that whatever additional
means may be allowed to this most excel
lent charity will be wisely expended to the
advantage of the community"
This testimonial to the value of the self
sacrificing work of the Hope and Help
Mission from the commissioner of charities
must be gratifying to the board of man.
