of different South Sea islands. Hang
ing from the ceiling, ia an Hawaiian
canoe thirty feet long, and splendid
specimen of its kind. Then there are
models of the crafts of nearly all the
different islands that dot the waters
south of us, which show the way
those ancient and interchangeable navI-
gators had of traversing the trackless
deep. There are also fac-slmlles OF
the houses, made of grass and other
substances, that these neighbors OF
ours once inhabited.
One show case in this room Is de-
voted to curiosities from the Solomon
Islands. The people there are still
cannibals, and vigorously resist any
attempts made by the white man to
bring them into a state of civllIZa-
ton. One of the exhibits Is large
bowl made by hand from single
piece of wood, that is called tribal
food bowl. According to Prof. w. L.
Brigham, the able curator OF the
Museum, who probably has more
knowledge of Australasian curiosities
than any one else in the islands, this
bowl is used by the Solomon islanders
as a general kettle in which to prepare
their food, whether human or other
wise, preferably the former. After
fat, tender and juicy missionary has
been nicely roasted, he is divided into
separate portions for different faml-
lies OF the tribe, who help themselves
out of this common kitchen.
One curious feature of the value OF
the exhibits at the Museum is that
cannibals and those who have abso-
Iutely none of the refining qualities of
civilization make the most valuable
curios and do the best carving of all
the South Sea Islanders. The greater
the savage, the finer the work. The
most delicate bead work, the finest
hair work, and the biggest cannibals
60 hand in hand.
In one of the cases in this depart
ment is Kukailimoku, the war god OF
Kamehameha, a picture of which APP
pears elsewhere. AS number of the
former scholars at Punahou will re-
member, the striking cOuntenance OF
this gentleman was at one time an
ornament of one of the schoOi-rooms
of that institution. 1t was originally
covered with bright red feathers, but
these have now been removed. The
dance mask, whose beauty rivals that
of Kukailimoku, is also here. 1t was
used by the solomon Islanders during
their most ceremoniOus dances.
Going up the polished stair case, one
sees a tablet on the wall with the fol-
lowing inscription:

THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
No Important Action Taken at the
First Meeting.

The newly elected Central Com
mittee of the American Union
party held its first meeting last
evening at the rooms of the Annex
alton Club. All the members were
present except A. Fernandez.
The chair was temporarily occu-
pied by G. w. Smith, as Chairman
of the Temporary National Com
mittee. J. w. Jones acted as
temporary Secretary.
The Secretary read the creden-
tials of the delegates from the
Chairman OF the election boards,
and the committee then proceeded
to the election of officers.
J. a. Kennedy, G. L. Carter,
F. B. McStocker and J. A. Low
were all nominated as permanent
Chairman, but all withdrew their
names with the exception of Mr..
Kennedy, and the Secretary was
instructed to cast a ballot in his
favor. He then took the chair.
G. L. Carter proposed that a
Secretary be appointed who should
be paid a salary and should
not necessarily be member
of the committee. After some
discussion as to whether the secre-
tary should be obliged to have a
knowledge of shorthand, J. w.
Jones and T. P. SEVERN were
placed in nomination. Jones with
drew his name, as he would not
have the time to attend to the
duties of the Office, and SEVERN
was elected.
II. f. Lansing was then elected
treasurer. 1t was decided to have
q finance committee and COM
mittee on rules and resolutions,
each to consist of three members.
On the first T. F. Lansing, G. L.
Carter and J. A. McCandless were
appointed, and on the second, j. A.
Low, F. B. McStocker and e.
Towse. A committee on printing
was appointed later, consisting of
T. B. Murray, A. V. Peters and D..
Keliipio.
The evening was almost en-
tirely given up to discussing ways
and means Of conducting the COM
ing campaign. No definite action
was taken, however, although
many resolutions were introduced.
The one that attracted the most
discussion, was introduced by Mr..
McStocker. and was to the effect
that the different district clubs
be instructed by the secretary
to attend a general meeting
next Tuesday evening, for the pur-
pose of making nominations for
delegates to the Constitutional
Convention. After lengthy dis
cussion, action was deferred.
The following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the japanese should not
be granted the right of franchise.

New YORK, March 15.--Presi-

great pleasure of making known to

happy termination of the revolu-

energetic attitude which it has as

January 22d, 1894


Hon. WIN. q. IRWIN, Honolulu, Ii. |.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours OF Il :
18th 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,
would beg to say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more [ see OF
it's capabilities, the better pleased L am
that l. put it in, as am satisfied that 1t
will repay the original outlay in 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. LIZ delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
TO the three roller mill, which receives 1t
without the intervention Of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill Of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four az 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
5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as 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 / find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
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 A'egass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemen
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure Of steam than formerly.
L will be pleased to tave call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine at work to fully appre-
ciate its capabilities
remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo sugar Co.
sYPlans for erection of
these shredders may be seen
at the Office OF the Agents,
where prices and other parti-
culars may also be obtained.

The Amen Corner.

The suspicion we cast upon others is
often but the shadow of our own sinful
hearts.
We may have grit without grace but
we cannot have grace without grit.
1t is one thing to have Bible of our
own it is another thing to make the
Bible our own.
Endowing a benevolent institution
with ill-gotten Doodle Is the way some
men have of Offering God hush-mon-
| ey.
One reason why so few sinners are
saved is because so many Churches
give the ill.concealed hope that only
the respectable ones will accept.
From the way some preachers talk
about the need of social culture in the
Churches, one would suppose that the
Scriptures read: "By culture are ye
saved through society, and that not OF
yourselves it is the gift of the upper
ten"
A society woman is said to be refin-
ed; so is q saint. But a society wo-
man is refined in a refrigerator while
the saint is refined in a furnace. No
doubt the Church needs refinement,

When man abuses his Church for al
lowing hypocrites to remain in it, he
does not mean that he wants them
turned out. He has probably declared
that be will do nothing so long as they
are kept in, and if they are turned out
he will have to 90 work to get up
another excuse for not working.
The Pharisee passed by on the other
side. That's high Church. The Lee
vite came and looked on, dropped a
sympathetic tear and passed by on the
other side. That's theosophy. The
Samaritan bound up his wounds, car,
ried him to the nearest inn and paid
his bill. That's Christianity.

Plain Speaking.

There are people who take great
credit to themselves for their extreme
plainness of speech, which they fancy
to be sign of sincerity. ~ say pre-
cisely what I mean," one Of these per-
sons will calmly tell you, intimating,
in most cases, that what they meant
was disagreeable and likely to hurt
somebody's feelings, but that they had
too much strength of mind to hesitate
on that account. It never occurs to
these well-intentioned, but brusque and
over-candid souls, that it is not an alb
solute necessity always to speak, that
there are times when silence is golden.
We are not called upon invariably to
pronounce judgment on our fellow
creatures. Often we are not in posses
sion of all the facts in a given case, we
do not know the circumstances, we
cannot accurately discern motives, and
our conclusions, being based on imper-
feet acquaintance, and being formed
by fallible minds, are wholly erron-
eous. This is especially so when we
have been neglected, when our vanity
or our self-love has been wounded.
By hasty speech we may become gull
ty of great injustice; we may plant
the seeds of distrust and suspicion or
trample friendship under foot.
There is no insincerity in saying q
pleasant thing, for there is fortunately
always one point of view from which
some pleasant word is justiiable. In
that beautiful twelfth chapter of Ro-
mans. which formed the basis of a
blessed lesson in the Sabbath-school, q
conservation of our whole selves to God
found its natural outcome in tender
and thoughtful altruism. AS Chris

ourselves and to live for and with
others, in all gentleness, sympathy and
courtesy. "In honor preferring one

The idea of providing Sunday re-
creation for children-reoreation that
shall be both entertaining and instruc-
tive-is not new one.
The need and usefulness Of occupa-
tions of this sort have always been
apparent to teachers and parents. But
there has recently appeared new
embodiment of this idea in the Puzzle
Cross and the Bible Time Ladder, i'll
vented and copyrighted by Mrs. Clara
Smith Cotton, of Patchogue, New
York. AS Mrs. Cotton says, her ''plan
is to uccupy the children's hands, as
we'll as their minds, with Sunday play
things. interesting and instructive
toys for teaching Bible truths.
The plan has been tested not only
with her Gown children, but with a
class of sixty children, varying in age
from five to fifteen years." Both the
Ladder and the Cross admit Of many
variations, so that they are not liable
to grow tiresome to the children.

There is advantage to any man who
has the opportunity of doing you a
favor, but there is no advantage to
you in receiving that favor as if you
were comforting the advantage. Graft
tude is as important to you as the
opportunity Of doing good to your
neighbor. A proper appreciation OF
kindness not only develops and per-
petuates kindness, but it is necessary
and indispensable in making man
of you, and enabling you to do like
faVors to others.

Growing q Name.

Little Luke Hays could write his
name. He brought his slate to show
his mother what round, clear letters
he could make.
"Would you like to make yourname
grow, Luke?" asked his mother.
Said Luke, ~ never saw name
grow"
Then his mother took him out in
the garden. She gave him stick
with sharp point, and made him
write his name in large letters in the
middle of bed of black earth.
Then his mother sowed mignonette
seed all along the letters.
"Now," said she, "in a few weeks
you will see you name growing tall
and sweet"
Luke went away the next day to
visit his grandmother, and when he
came home again, three weeks later,
he ran at once to the garden. There
was his name, Luke Hays" in pretty
green letters, just as he had written it.
Luke was delighted and has never
omitted to grow his name every year
since.

matter of strict temperance. Drink.

Hon. Walter E. Addison.

We again place in nomination forS State
Senator from this Dstricr, Hon. Walter
Z. Addison Of Big Stone Gap. Mr. Addi-
son knows nothing ofthis, it is not done
at his request, but is done simply because
the editor or the Posr thinks that such
services as lie has rendered heDemocrat-
ic party calls for and demands recogni
ton. In the last canvass Judge Morrison
had no warmer supporter, no more cour-
ageous and indefatigiblc worker than he.
The speeches that he made-wOn for him n
reputation and standing in the Ninth
District of which any man might justly
feel proud. He invaded the hot bed Of
Republicansm, Tazcwell county, and
threw in the teeth Of the ablcst Republi-
cans in the State the guage Of battle.
The night has never been too dark, or the
day too gloomy but that this noble repre-
sentative Of Democracy has obeycd
his party's call. True as steel to his
friends and his convictions, wearing as
he does upon his countenance the stamp
of intellectual vigor. in every sense Of the
word worthy, the Democrats of this Sena-
toral district could not do better, could
not honor themselves more, than by plac-
ing the standard Of He party in his hands.
And he will carry it bravely, he will un-
furl it upon the very ramparts of Re-
publican wickcdness. He will beard the
lion in his den, and what is more, he will
be elected
