Gates Island Grabbing"

Island grabbing in the Pacific was
not done without forethought. The
completion of the Panama Canal will
bring about a great change in the
direction of the worlds commerce,
and those islands lying directly in
the sea route from Panama or Nicar-
aqua to China, India and Australia
will have a mighty Importance not
only IS shelter harbors and coaling
stations, but, in case Of war, as forti-
fed places where any great Europ-
can Power can find refuge for her
ships or lurking places for cruisers
to prey upon the commerce of others.
In all this island grabbing business
the Powers which have the greatest
rights In the Pacific have the least
possessions. Russia has little or
nothing, the United States has only
a foothold here and there, the South
American States have nothing, while
England, Germany, France, Spain
and Holland have possession of the
greater part of the islands that have
value now and will have an infinitely
greater value in the future.-N. Y.

NOT A PARADISE.
The Fruitarian Has Concluded that
he Does Not Like the Place.

Lieut.. Boeter is disappointed in
Hawaii, and will leave on the Ala
media for Samoa. He was seen by
an ADVERTISER man, and stated
that he was greatly. disappointed
in Honolulu, and be has concluded
that the other islands of the group
are just about as bad. He has not
seen them, but he says he has in
quired, and the information he has
received obtained was sufficient to
convince him that the whole outfit
was equally unsuited to his require
ments.
"Hawaii is too civilized " said
the Lieutenant despairingly. 81
shall try Samoa, and see if it is
any better. Give me a call when
you come that way"
If Lieutenant Boeter could be
induced to take Francis Leo G.
Harden with him, he would be
doing a good thing.

THE Constitutional Convention
has given itself to its work with a
seriousness and a dispatch which
reflect upon it the greatest credit.
In fact, more rapid progress would
imply the haste of carelessness, not
the speed of earnestness. 1t is, of
course, at this early stage, impos-
sible to prevent the duration of
the Convention, but all indications
are that it will not, at the longest,
outlast the month.

THE KAWAIAHA0 SEMINARY,
Annual Examination Held Yester-
day Before a Large Audience.

The annual Kawaiahao Seminary
examination was held in the
chapel of the institution yesterday
morning before large number of
friends and relatives of the pupils.
The scholars acquitted themselves
in a manner that reflects great
credit on the principal of the SEM
mary, Miss Pope, and her assist
ants, Miss Kinney, Miss Gillian,
Miss Kane and Miss Sears.
The pupils were examined in
Hawaiian, geography, algebra,
English and other studies.
After the examinations were
finished a fair was held at which
cakes, candies and fancy work was
of, the sales amounting
to about 5000.
The closing exercises will be
held this evening at Kawaiahao
Church. A splendid programme
has been arranged.
Europe has 10000 more armed
men than one year ago, according
to the late estimates.

There's roast beef, fowl and
ham aud knives for cutting
each separate article. For
beef, we have the celebrated
French Cook Knives that stand
without an equal for kitchen
work. Then there's the long
"Jointed," built expressly for
carving fowls. In the hands
of anyone, the obstacle IN the
way of finding the second
joint is removed, the jointer
gets there while you are think
ing about it. And when you
get to ham-good sweet ham,
you want a long thin knife
that will carve so you can see
the steel through the slice.
We have the knives for this
class of work and they're good
ones. The French Cook
Knives are not remarkable for
beauty, but they are away
up" for use.
For bread or cake, get a
Clauss Knife; it is always in
condition, because your cook
cannot use it for. cutting meat
or splitting kindlings, it's
made for bread or cake, and
will cut without making
crumbs. No other knife will
do as we'll as the Clauss for the
purpose.
AS soon as the Iwalani |
matter is definitely settled, |
we expect to receive an ord
er from the government for
enough to fence Neck
er island with the Jones Locked
Fence. Economy is the order
of the day and when the gov
can get a better arti-
Gle for eight cents than it
usually pays II cents for it
will get it.
