On the crowded Munich railway platform
O soft southern voice was saying; Honey,
don't set down there right in the way;
they'll tromp on you" A small girl rose
up, clasping to her bosom cigar box with
a perforated cover. There was something
curious about this box, because hurried
travellers who came too near it started sud
denly away and regarded the little party
of three, an old lady and two children, with
undisguised horror. After some space Of
struggling with the intricacies of that badly
spelled and poorly pronounced English
which jewellers beyond the Rhine choose to
call their German tongue, it was delightful
to hear the accents of ones native land, and
an excuse was seized upon TO make the old
lady's acquaintance.
She was from Georgia and knew no other
tongue than her own. She was % years of
age and was travelling for the first time in
Europe with her two small grandchildren.
She had experienced no difficulty whatever,
and, indeed, without a word of German
managed to secure for herself on this occa-
sion the best carriage and get her luggage
attended TO before any one else by mere dint
Of gentle, sweet voiced persistence The
Teutonic officials merely shrugged help
iessiy and obeyed when she said. NO yo'
don't take that bag-yo' hear mel Set it
| right down there like tell 20, +" all in tones
as soft as rose leaves.
/ Another traveller at this moment SHE'D
violently away from the little girls box,
from which the serpent like heads were be-
/ ing thrust, and this attracted the old lady's
attention, causing her to ask gently;
Honey, amt those turkles of yO'rs hun

ayes, grandmaw, reckon they are"
said the child. "Taey amt been fed since
we left Flawrcnce." And the train car

NEW TRAVELLING WRAPS.

warm, and at least the waist and sleeves
should be lined warmly Pockets deep and
wide are blessings. An upper cape can be
added if so desired, but cape Is not great
comfort, as the wind seems to enjoy play
ing pranks with it.
For sea travelling a pretty and becoming
hood gives greater satisfaction than any
thing else, but for the railroad II close bon
net or a toque is much the best. A hat Of
any kind is always in the way, and 10 the
lady who values her lovely hair the sitting,
sharp cinders would forbid the removal of
her head covering. A very pretty toque
would be the best travelling bonnet, and IL
can be made of the dress material and be
so inexpensive that no tears need fall If
one short trip destroys its beauty and use

Many however, prefer a cape ulster with
a cape capuchin also, that can be drawn
over the head If need be. Such a garment
looks handsome and is useful, made Of

color Blue storm serge is sometimes seen
in these garments So is dark gray taife-
Ia and black and white hair line silk.
These last are for dust coaks for travel

such garments should be made with as
great simplicity as possible, as their style

that the sun of popular favor Is now shin

are marvels of taste and grace, and these
results are produced more by the cut and

a subtle japanese suggestion about them.
One saw that was called japanese. This
was made OF seal brown pongee, the whole
lined and faced with natural pongee. The
gown was folded under belt surplice fash

1.-THE expense Of the music in the church Is
a perpetual problem, the solution of which
must depend upon the circumstances of the
church, )" writes the Rev. Lyman Abbott in
an article on The Church and the Choir"
in The Ladies' Home Journal. MY own ex-
perience leads me 10 the conviction that the
first thing for church to do is TO secure
good organist and choirmaster and pay
them fair compensation. If il then has
surplus funds, it may well eXpend them in
hiring few leading singers, but it should
never endeavor to make concert platform
Of the choir loft, nor hope TO draw people
TO church by the same attraction which
draws them to the concert room"
A horse can draw on the worst kind
Of earth road about four times as much
as he can carry on his back On good
macadamized road he can pull 10 times
as much; on plank road 25 times as
much, and on a street railway 81 tunes
10 much.-Chicago Journal,

Upon the floor are seen;
No finger marks are on the panes,
No scratches on the chairs;
No wooden men set up in rows
Or marshaled of in pairs:
No little stockings to be darned,
All ragged at the toes;
No pile Of mending TO be done,
Made up OF baby clothes;
No little troubles TO be soothed,
No little hands Ia fold;
No grimy fingers TO be washed,
No stories to be told;
No tender kisses to be given,
No nicknames-Loye and Mouse;
No merry frolics after tea,
No baby in the house.

SENTIMENT IN WASHINGTON AND
OVER THE COUNTRY.
Gen. n. n. Wells n visitor Criticism of
MIR. Cleveland The Ex.Queen's
Case -Annexatlon.

Gen. II. II. Wells, who was Governor
OF Virginia in the reconstruction period
and who is now prominent attorney OF
Washington, d. c., and well known as a
public man, is here by the Oceanic, the
guest of DIR. j. S. McGrew. General
Wells has the cordial manner OF II
southerner with the directness of eX-
preston OF a military man and lawyer.
He said this morning for the STAR:
"There has never been any divis-
ion of sentiment at Washington
or elsewhere in the United States
about the merits OF dhe case OF
Hawaii. The public men and the
people believe in the integrity OF the
Provisional Government. They fail to
see where Minister Stevens was to be
blamed. The whole people are aroused
on the proposition of the model republic
of the world being placed in the attitude
OF taking side with Il monarchy as
against a new American republic. The
news that the ex-Queen proposed to
take the heads and purses of the men
who had rebelled against her on viola
ton OF the Constitution was viewed in
But one way. The people were fairly
aghast. Then and there the cause OF
the woman became utterly hopeless.
"While the predominant sentiment is
in favor of annexation, there are many
who believe that the people here should
90 ahead and make and conduct Gov
eminent for themselves. There are
some serious problems at both ends
when annexation is to be considered.
| 1t is somewhat of departure from the
| policy OF the United States and then
| people think the japanese and Chinese
! here are too great factor. Some
citizens OF the States understand that
Asiatics vote here. As to protector
rate, you have that already. Hawaii
| has had it for fifty years and it is
stronger than ever to-day. Any nation
| interfering here will be addressed by the
| United States: Hands off, and the
order will be enforced.
"Your friends in the States have every
confidence in your ability to manage
your affairs. They believe the Amer-
cans here can carry on Government.
Mr.. Cleveland was condemned in every
nook and corner of his country. His
usurpation OF the functions OF Congress
gave the people "A most serious grievance.
His was an offense that will not soon be
| forgotten"
General Wells spent day at the Mid
winter Fair, and says it is highly
creditable exhibition. He will be here
about month. In the party which left
Washington early last month are these
ladies and gentlemen who continue on
to Japan: =. FL. Kaufman of the Star,
wife and daughter, Crosby 5. Noyes oi

THE OVERFLOW At KILAUEA.
some Past History-The Encct OF Recent
Explosions Of Steam.

Kiauea has been slowly recupcratng
for three years since the collapse of
Halemaumau in 1891. The lava has at
least reached it full height and is copi-
ously trimming over. At the above
date some shock tapped the lava column
far below, causing the molten contents
to escape underground through kau.
The entire contents OF the Overlooking
pit of Halemaumau half a mile wide
suddenly sunk away dragging with them
the immense amount OF debris which
they had uplifted for five years. The
whole disappeared, leaving gaping
pit 200 feet deep. When we last saw II
in 1892, the lava had risen to about 300
feet OF the top, forming lake 500 feet in
diameter. filled with gorgeous fire effects.
During nearly two years more this lake
has continued to rise, building up
surrounding fiat or slope by constant
overflows.
At last the 300 feet have been COM
pletely filled and slightly conical cra-
ter overtops the former rim OF Halemau-
mau and is flooding more or less inter-
mittently in all directions over the main
| floor of kilauea, which is two miles by
three in area. The horse path to the
lake is partly obiterated by the new
lava. The shelter walls and huts at the
lake are destroyed. The whole has
taken on a new aspect and will undergo
fresh changes under the new conditions.
This change has no doubt been expe-
dited by the heavy rains OF the past few
months. The water penetrates the
rocks far below, and finding access to
the burning lava in its shaft, is con-
verified into steam which aids in pushing
upwards the fiery effervescent viscd
mass more rapidly than it would other
wise ascend to the surface. This effect
will probably continue many months,
during which there will probably be
constant overlooking of lava.
There will probably be an increasing
influx of visitors to the volcano, now
that the new roads gives such facility Of
travel from Hilo.--The Friend.

GETTING FIELD LABOR.
MIR. IRWIN HAS GONE AFTER A SHIP.
MENT OF JAPS.
About 12oO-Men Are Scarce--The Coast
Contingent-The Labor Outlook
in Honolulu.

Hon. r. W. Irwin, Hawaiian Minister
Resident at Toxic, left Honolulu by the
Oceanic on mission. He goes to nego-
tiate for shipment of Japanese planta-
ton laborers. News will be received from
Mr.. Irwin by the Mariposa from the
coast on the l2th of April. He will
cable from Yokohama to the United
States. This lot of Japs will number
they come at all it will he under the old
agreement. The only clause of the con-
tract bearing on public policy is as fol-
lows: wi. The Hawaiian Govern
ment guarantees to the said party of
the second part and his family, the full
equal and perfect protection of the laws
of the country"
The wage figure is $l2.50 for the men
and $40 for the women. Hours are ten
in the fields and twelve in the mills,
with 1873 and 8 cents an hour overtime
for men and women. The question OF
suffrage for qualified Japs does not enter
into the deal at this end. 1t may be
brought forward by the chrysanthemum
government. There may be demand
| Tor more pay.
Plantations were never before in such
straits for labor. They are short-handeC
nearly everywhere, and the contracts o.
several thousand coolies will expire
about the middle of the year.
| By the Mariposa to- morrow there will
leave for the coast two lunas to sigr
idle Portuguese for service on the Isl
ands. The requisition is for 242 fami
lies. This means 400 to 500 laborer,
with the wage about SIT. There viii
he no difficulty in getting the people
The planters are informed that
hundreds of Portuguese formerly on tn,
Islands are in destitute circumstance
on the coast. The fact is well known
everywhere.
1t is complained by some of the Portu
guese here that they cannot get work
The STAR is authorized to say that al
who apply will be shipped readily.
The prospects for labor here now lool
somewhat brighter. With April Their
starts the new fiscal year. The Govern
ment will then undertake some publ
work. The road hoard will need som
men. Lumber for the new wharve
should be here within twenty days
Their construction will give employ
ment to quite number for consldera
bile time
