PIGTAIL DECORATIONS.
Greatest Honor That the Sultan Confers
Upon HIS Wives.

Upon HIS Wives.
1t is only on rare and special occa-
sions that ladies are permitted to visit
the sultan's harcm; it is considered q
very great privilege, and few beneath
the rank of an ambassadress can ever
aspire to it.
There are a great number of ladies
in the harem. some of them being very
beautiful Each has her own allow
ance for dress and other expenses, and
the young and pretty women generally
get all their clothes from Paris,
though many are still content with
the old-fashioned Turkish dress, which
is not unlike our own tea gowns
They wear no wells in the house, and
they usually wear their hair in short
loose curls, upon which is often worn
a smart little toqne ornamented with
jewels or white a;grette.
The great distinction which they all
covet is the decoration of ''the three
tails" which is only conferred on the
greatest ladies of the palace or some
special favorite. These tails are com
posed of plated hair, not unlike the
Chinese pigtail, though shorter, as it
only reaches a little below the waist.
To have even one of these tails is q
great honor, while the bestowal of all
three viii go far to make the recipient
a proud and happy woman for life.

BIG HATS AT THE OPERA.

Some Snappy Talk at Recent Charity
Performance In New York.
In the course of it's recent engage
ment in New York the Abbey-Grau
Opera company gave a performance in
aid of the unemployed. The seats
were sold at auction, high prices being
obtained, and a tremendous audience
assembled on the evening of the per-
Torrance. Several good stories are
told regarding the evenings entertain
ment and the audience by CORE
spondent of the San Francisco Argo-
naut. A lady in the balcony wore a
prodigious hat, with still more pro-
digious feather in it. Another lady
sitting behind her expostulated, de-
claring that the hat and feather shut
her out from a view of the stage. The
hat wearer proving obdurate, the suf-
ferer called to an usher and remarked:
"We paid six dollars for our seats and
not for a back view of that feather If
you don't make that woman remove
her hat I'll sue the opera house." The
usher's polite circumstances induced
the offender to remove the feather, but
she sat through the performance with
her big hat on.
Another lady, also with big hat.
was appealed to by one who sat behind
her to remove it in order that the stage
might become visible. She smiled
sweetly and replied that she would
love to oblige the ladies behind, but
she really couldn't; her hair wasn't
properly done up. THAT will not mat
ter" said the protesting lady, in loud |
voice; I'm not particular. You may
take your hair off, too"

bear, and In spite of the scattering
remarks of certain Senators, it
would be unjust to ascribe to the
American Government any such
intention.
No doubt the point here involved
is very important one to Hawaii.
The power to lease or cede Pearl
Harbor il one of the best trumps
in her pack 1t is not, however,
the only one, and she may well
play a winning game without 1t.
There are other points which might
offer suitable sites for coaling sta
tions. There are other powers to
which Hawaii may have recourse,
should impolicy prevail over policy
in the United States, and folly cast
us off. The only legal title to par
amount influence Of which Amer
lea is justly seized is derived from
the Reciprocity Treaty. That
treaty abrogated, Hawaii would be
left to choose her alliances as free
dom and interest dictate.
1t is not necessary, however, nor
is it wise, to dwell upon contingent
cies so remote. There is no reason
to doubt that the intimate and
friendly relations which have ex-
listed between Hawaii and the
United States in the past will con-
tinue, until they result in a union
which will solve most of our prob
lens and settle all our differences.

these refer to the facts of the revo-

TIE RECIPROCITY TREATY AND THE
PEARL RIVER CEssION.

The slap at the Hawaiian treaty
made by the Sub-Finance Com
mittee of the Senate, has naturally
led to some alarm In local circles,
and much discussion as to what
Hawaii would do next" in case
the recomm endation were adopted
by Congress. The news which ar
rived by the Australia Saturday
has done much to allay this anxi-
ETY.. There is very little likelihood
that the Senate will take any
course subversive of American in
terests in this country, and the
latest advices are all to this effect.
Some persons, however, have sug-
gested that the United States has
the whip hand and is free to lash
Hawaii as much as she pleases.
This, on the ground that the grant
of rights in Pearl Harbor, made in
the convention of 1887, was not CO.
terminous with the treaty, but alb
solnte and perpetual.
This grant of coaling station
at Pearl Harbor was not contained
in the original treaty of 1876. The
United States Government at that
time was contented with an agree
ment on the part Of Hawaii not to
grant such privileges to any other
power as long as the treaty should
remain in force. Eleven years later
the United States went further and
secured exclusively for itself the
privilege from which it had hith-
erto been content simply to exclude
all competitors. This concession,
which is peculiar to the new treaty,
was inserted by the Senate in
secret session, and was of course
framed without the participation of
any representative of the Hawaiian
Government. 1t does not contain |
any express limitation, and I'M
doubtedly might be taken, from it's
terms alone, to be a perpetual
grant.
The meaning of this article,
however, is best determined by |
referring to the language of those |
who negotiated it, and this shows
clearly that the grant was not |
Intended to be perpetual, but to !
expire with the treaty. Godfrey |
Brown, who was Minister of For |
eign Affairs in December, 1887, in
answer to an Interrogation by Rep
fesentative Daniels, went very fully
into the subject, quoting from the
dispatches of the Hawaiian Minis
.er, 81. A. p. Carter, and from a
letter written by Secretary Bayard
70 the latter. These citations es-
ablished the fact that the con-
Iracting parties intended and un-
ierstood Article 2 to convey no
lights of jurisdiction or sover-
Eignty, while such other rights as
t did convey were limited to the
erm of the treaty. This inter
rotation by former Secretary of
tate is conclusive upon the United
'tates and certainly upon the CIeve-
and administration. 1t would not be
bnorable in the United States to
)rce' upon this article construc-
on which it was never meant to

DEAR SIR:-I have Just completed some
three miles of the Jones Locked Fence"
and must say that 1 am very much pleased
with it. in fact it is THE fence for a ranch.
L had about a mile TO construct over
"pahoehoe," where it was nearly impos-
sible TO get post down and found, in this
case especially, the Jones Fence was a
great saving of labor. There are places in
this fence where the posts are at least rs
feet apart. the space between filed in with
stays. There is no sag to it and it Is as
springy as wire mattress. J am confident
that it will turn ordinary stock.
I have some two and half miles more
to construct over a country where wild cat
tie are very plentiful, and as soon as it has
undergone the test there will write you
further. If it will turn the stock on this
part of the land, and am confident it will,
you can rest assured that it will turn most
anything except lava flow.
Very truly yours,
j. MONSARRAT.

Korea, where most of the fighting
will be done, figures but little in specu-

army numbers not more than 5, 900 men,

drilled by American instructors and ma

are equipped with Remington rifles. A
battery Of Gatling and one of Krupp
guns is also stationed at Seoul, and a
force of 500 cavalry has lately been Or

upon in case of necessity; but, in fact,

available if called upon. The Korean
navy is like the snakes of Ireland.

The Japanese army is organized on
uniform CONSUMPTION system. All males
must serve for seven years, the period
Of service beginning at the age of. 20.
Three years are spent in the active
branch CT the army and the other four
in the reserves. After quitting the army
of reserve they become members of the
landwehr for five years. All men
between the ages of II and 40 not mem
bers Of the active, the reserve or the
landwehr army are members Of the
emergency. In 1892 the active army
was composed of the imperial guard and
six divisions. The guard numbers 6, 207
officers and men, 40 field guns and 558
horses The six divisions are: Infantry,
80, 925 officers and men; cavalry, l, 800
officers and men and l, 146 horses; ar

horses; engineers, 2,075 officers and
men; train, 2, 108 officers and men and
1,746 horses and miscellaneous service.
The total Of the active army on peace
footing, including the miscellaneous
service, is &C, 1913 officers and men, 314
field guns, 1856 mountain guns and s, 791

spoke of the different grades of refined, the
higher grades of refined being made from high
CT grades of raw, and the lower grades of re-
tined-the poor mans sugar-being made from
the lower, it not heing possible to be made out
of the higher grades of raw.
The discrimination was against the article
which supplied the poor man with sugar and
against the article on which the greatest
amount of capital and labor is employ ed in it's
manufacture and the cost of manufacture gen.
orally is expended.
The foregoing paragraphs are taken
from the testimony Of Mr.. Henry O.
Havemeyer, the president of the Sugar
trust, as reported in The World, June
l3, in answer to questions propounded
by Senator Gray and Senator Davis of
the senate Investigating committee
Those were the statements Of Mr.. Have
meyer ! H. -.
The facts are that over 20 per cent of
the sugar imported into the United
States is high grade and less than 80 per
cent is low grade sugar. THE poor
man. uses high grade graduated sugar,
which can be made out of both high and
low grade raw sugars The yellow
sugars are not found now on the tables
of the people, and the darkest colored
sugars are used mainly for tobacco cur
ing and such purposes, very little in
deed going into direct human consump-
ton.
From MI. .Havemeyer's testimony it
is plainly inferred and was meant to be
inferred, that the poor man" would
be oppressed BY q specific tariff on raw
sugar, and there is further inference
that .ethe poor mans sugar consti
-tutes the bulk Of the sugar refining bust
ness, as not one person il half q 1nillion
out Of the total popul ion Of the United
States knows to the contrary. .
