SOCIAL DOINGS AND SAYINGS

The general exodus OF society will not take
place till after July l, despite the heated term
of the past two weeks. A number OF repre-
sentatives have taken their families to the
springs and glades of Virginia and Maryland
until August, when there will be a sudden
flight to the seashore.

Postage Stamps.

The Russian postage stamps are
the most beautiful in the world,
being printed in water-colors, but
they will not wash. The stamp of
Victoria for G10 sterling is the
highest denomination employed for
postal service. It is used to carry
gold dust. Some of the Australian
stamps have round holes punched
through them. This means that
the letters they were attached to
were mailed by convicts. Heligo-
land is the only country that prints
the denomination on its stamps in
two languages-English and Ger
man. Cashmere prints its stamps
in water-colors from ivory. When
wet, the tints run badly.

Hard Times in ENGLAND.

In a review of English trade in
1898, the London Times asserts
that the year has been a more try
ing one than any year in the de-
cade. 1t recalls the lockout in the
Lancashire cotton districts, the
strike of the dock laborers at Hull,
the lockout on the Midland
coal fields and the attendant
strikes on the coal fields of South
Wales and Scotland. These all
dislocated trade. which was further
disturbed by the long series of
bank failures in Australia, by the
depression in American railway
stocks and by home-investment
troubles. These depleted incomes
and forced economy on large num-
bers of the English people.
What is now lacking is conf
dence and stability of affairs
abroad.
"In America" continues the
Times, 81 the situation is clearing,
and there is likely to be revival
of trade. If uncertainty in Brazil
and Argentina were removed, the
deferred shipments to those coun-
tries would stimulate industry in
England. The Indian financial
situation may be the retard-
ing element and remain SO
until the value Of silver be-
comes more certain. With abun-
dant supplies of raw materials at
almost bottom prices and steadily
enlarging demand, the prospect for
1894 is more promising than was
the prospect for 1893"
The Times adds that the cycle
of depression which followed the
Barring collapse in 1890 is now
showing signs of exhaustion.

(N/N DETROIT.
President DOles Picture Received
With an 0utburSt of Applause.

Mr.. Frederick Stearns of Detroit,
who made quite a long visit in
these Islands couple of years ago,
has lately given an illustrated lee
ture on Hawaii for the benefit of a
Detroit orphan asylum. The lee
ture is described by the Free Press
as very entertaining and success
full, as it Melted $3.50 for the chart
table object. The slides used were
partially prepared in the United
States from negatives made by Mr..
Stearns himself, but most of them
were the work of Mr.. Hederman, of
this city, and they were described
by experts as of the highest quail
ity.
Among the pictures shown was
portrait of President Dole, which
was received with an outburst of
applause from the audience. Other
pictures were exhibited illustrating
various phases of the revolution.
Mr.. Stearns is a man of great
intelligence and he learned a great
deal about Hawaii during his visit
here.

WILL WRITE A BOOK.
Mrs. Ellen Blaekmar Maxwell Is
Here for That Purpose.

Mrs. Ellen Blackmar Maxwell,
who has been In Honolulu for
about a month, has come here at
the request of her publishers, Hunt
Il Eaton of New York, to write a
story Of island life. The Hawaiian
question has aroused so much at
tention in the United States, that
everything regarding affairs in the
islands has an absorbing interest.
1t is for this reason that Mrs. Max
well is to write her novel.
Il cannot tell you just what the
outline OF my book will be-" said
Mrs. Maxwell yesterday. Il have
not been here long enough yet to
have completely formed my plans.
All 1 can say is that the scene will
be laid in the islands, probably in
Honolulu.
II have already written a book
on life in India, that made a great
success. 1t was called The
Bishops Conversion and treats of
missionary work in India. Within
a year after its publication, this
book had gone into sixth edition.
The work on Hawaii, however, viii
not deal with missionary topics at
all, but will be purely work Of
fiction"
'The Bishops Conversion" has
been most highly spoken of by
both the press and public. The
story relates that a Methodist
bishop who was half inclined to
believe the current rumors that
the missionaries lack zeal and
earnestness and are extravagant in
their living, decided to spend a
year with them, living their life
and sharing their work and expe-
riences. The bishops wife is
thrifty housekeeper and has the
true missionary spirit too, and
while she secretly hopes that the
missionaries will be indicated
and her husband convinced, she
insists that they must only appro-
pirate as much for their expenses
as the salary allowed to the mis-
sionaries. Bravely and unflinch-
ingly they try to adapt themselves
to the customs and climate of the
country, bat before the year is out
the bishop is thoroughly converted
to the belief that those who stay at
home and criticize don't know
what they are talking about.
Mrs. Maxwell was a Methodist
missionary, and was for some time
stationed at the Lucknow Station,
in North India. which position en-
abled her to become conver5ant
with her subject. She will remain
here some time yet, and will
closely study many details of life
in the islands.

However, tho Law is PLAIN, stating that all
goods coming into this country from

IL necessary to enter the bird in question.
