STRAY PENCILINas.

President and Mrs. Dole were inter
ested spectators and liberal buyers at
the fair last evening.
The merry tunes of the phonograph
in charge of J.. A. Victor brought in
many stray dollar.
Great credit is due Captain Day
and Commander Hayward and their
men from the Hyacinth, for the beau
tiful decorations of the Armory. They
have lsbored long and well.
The fair was as nothing if without
the music of the Hawaiian Band or
chestra. Leader Berger and his boys
gave their services gratuitously. An
Invitation was rendered the National
band to assist in the musical pro-
gramme, but as q return OF $50 was
one of the necessary accomplishments
to their work, the more liberal organ
ization was given the preference.
The matrimonial booth is a very
cosy and unassuming affair, close by
the orchestra platform. There are no
pins in the seat and it is open to all
comers. The bachelors who have the
good fortune to take advantage of the
comforts of the place, simply pay two
bits and are booked to become bene-
diets before the expiration OF the COM
ing new year.
The fair will be opened at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, closing at 5. 1t will
be opened again at 7:30 and continue
through the evening. A leading at
traction today will be the live French
doll show, conducted by Mrs. w. w.

THE STAR ARRIVES AT RUK.
Spanish Government Still Obdu-
rate AbOuf P0nape Mission.
The Missionary Steamer With Rev. Mr..
Price and Family Reaches Her
DestinatiOn-Au Well.

Letters have been received from Ruk
of date, September II, sent by Jap
anese trading schooner to Toxic, and
thence via San Francisco to Honolulu.
Rev. Mr.. Smelling has not been able
been seriously ill, but had recovered
health. The Girls School had kept
it numbers full, having day scholars
as we'll as boarding pupils. There had
been cessation of fighting around
the Mission Station, but fighting was
still kept up on other islands in the
lagoon. A japanese trader arrived
July 10Th bringing letters from Homo
lulu and news of the coming reinforce
ment. The Star reached Ruk August
%, and the arrival of Rev. Mr.. Price
and his family was like an outburst of
sunshine after the gloom and depres-
sion that for months had settled down
over the enfeebled workers and the
hindered work. A letter from Henry
Nanapei received the first week in
September, reports all quiet on that
island, school work and church work
progressing slowly. The Spanish gov
ernment will not consent to the re.es-
tablishment of the mission on Ponape.
Mr.. Price, in letter to the Mission
ary Herald, speaks in this way of the
King or Butarltarl:
'.This king is really a remarkable
man for a Gilbert Islander. He is a
devoted and consistent Christian and
IS doing what he can to give his peo-
pie Just and humane laws and to ele-
vate them to a higher plane OF life.
One Of his laws prohibits fishing on
Sunday or otherwise violating the
sacred day; another is against drink
ing the 'tOddy' after it is fermented or
has an Odor strong enough to be de-
tected on the breath, so that an ISL
ander may be arrese ed if his breath
smells of liquor. Another law forbids
drinking foreign liquors. Mr.. Walk
up says the king is now framing law
against divorce. He has put away all
his concubiDes and is living with one
wife and trying To establish Christian
homes. The home life here is greatly
affected by the warm climate. 1t is
hard to cultivate the love of home
where it is too warm for people to
come close together. The home and
patriotism are fostered in the snow.
At Ruk we have the darkest fea-
lures in the record of the year, says
the same journal. Turbulence and
warfare among the people, a conse-
quent diminutiOn of the pupils in the
schools, the want of competent and
trustworthy native preachers ana
teachers, suggest the discouragements
under which our missionary labors
have been prosecuted. Happily at
the last accounts a slight improve
ment in matters in these respects is
recorded The loss of the missionary
ship r. w. Logan has interfered with
the needful missionary supervision of
the work; but the prompt payment of
the full insurance on this vessel en-
abIes the Board to make arrange
ments at once for the replacement of
the ship and the resumption of thor
Ough supervision.

Several years ago the State of Maryland
appropriated about a million dollars to
the various counties of the state TO pro-
mote railway enterprises, and $5S, 600
was awarded to the Elkton and Middle
town railroad, to construct a line be-
tween the points named. For some
reason the company was never formally
organized, and the appropriation was
allowed to lie dormant in the state
treasury.
Lately, however, the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, with a view to gaining
an entrance into the Peninsula. deter
mined to avail itself of the unexpended
appropriation, and the Elkton and
