SUNDAY SCHOOLS MEET.
Windh am County Association Cox
venes at Newfane.

The carriage ride in the early morn
ing to the pretty little village of New
fame, the exceedingly helpful and en-
couraging sessions of the convention,
the meeting with the happy, earnest
and enthusiastic Sunday school work
ers, the delightful sociability of the pic
mic lunch under the trees at noon and
after it was all over, the ride home in
the cool of a simply perfect evening,
who shall say that it was not glorious
outing for the few delegates who went
from this place to the Windham Coun-
ty Sunday School associations first an
nual meeting on Wednesday, June q?
There were present $50 delegates and
the attendance was variously estimated
at 225 to 800. Mrs. A. A. Wyman,
carrying out the idea of getting people
to talk, rather than to talk herself,
which she said she supposed was what
was wanted Of her, put some questions
to the convention, the answers to which
proved very helpful. sa
u. ~. lAluIlGy, tiiS AhiAiSi-
lean Sunday School Union, now work
ing in Rutland county and soon to
work in our own county, gave an en-
couraging report of his work. Some
800 scholars not before in Sunday school
now study the word of God in the 26
Union schools he has established in
Vermont. Mr.. Kinney was accom-
panied by his wife, who sang several
solos. She has beautiful voice and her
manner and rendering of the songs was
very fine. Beautiful solos were also
given by Miss McGregor and by Miss
WOODBURY..
Rev. G. J. Harris of South Windham
gave very bright, earnest talk on
Chow to Hold Young People in Our
Schools impressing his hearers that
he could practice what he preached.
Mrs. Hawley of Brattleboro told of her
primary class work. She uses motion
songs, marching songs ETC., and uses
object lessons as much as possible. For
instance, they had the finding of Moses
represented by tiny doll in little
basket placed among some green stalks
in river bed made of sand. She
thought no child present would ever
forget it.
Reports were given from II Baptist,
Methodist, Is Congregational and l
Union. They were most encouraging.
Prof. III. Fl. Shaw of West Brattleboro
gave talk showing the great good to
be gained by the Home Department
work. 1t insures certain amount of
study each week. The Brattleboro
Baptist school made special effort to
get their Home department members
out recently, sending teams for them.
Milan Davidson of Newfane had a
carefully prepared paper on "Methods
to be Used in Teaching Advanced
Classes" Use the printed questions
and add others Of your own. Get your
scholars to prepare the lessons as
though they were goingto teach.
Mrs. G. M Robbins told of methods
she used in preparing to teach advanced
classes.
Miss French told in vivacious man.
ner of her work in Brookline and other
places.
The convention was presided over in
a most excellent manner by the presi-
dent, N. G. Williams. He is succeeded
by L. w. Hawley of Brattleboro, with
Miss Winifred Ball of this place as vice
president and Rev. G. ]. Harris, South
Windham, secretary and treasurer.

You can draw your own conclusions

clusion that you can possibly come to

investment you never made. Just as
sure as you wear these shoes, just SO
sure will that be your judgment of it.
Some shoes are cheap without being

enough for the most fastidious of feet.
They will fit as snugly as made to or
der shoes, and there are made to or

WOULD GIVE NO NEWS.
The COrwins Officers and Men
We're Mum as Oysters.

The newspaper men of San Fran
cisco were rendered indignant by
the secrecy that was maintained
by the officers and men of the
Corwin on her arrival in Sal Fran
cisco. The cutter did not enter the
harbor at first, but lay off Fort
Point long enough to send boat
to shore with dispatches, and then
sailed in and anchored off Sau-
salito, whence she afterward pro-
ceeded to Mare Island.
A United Press reporter, in a
boat, met the cutter off the fort
and endeavored to board her, but
was repulsed. His inquiries as to
how things were going at Honolulu
were unanswered. All hands had
evidently received strict injunc-
tons as to silence on that point;
and no intelligence could be got
out of anybody. Only a hint of
news at first was given by one of
the crew, who said, over the side,
to the reporter: There is big
row on down in Honolulu" After
ward, in answer to question, Capt.
Munger yelled back: "The queen
had not been put back on the
throne when we left, but she may
be there now all the same"
After putting an officer with dis
patches for Washington ashore, the
Corwin steamed over to Sansalito.
From the appearance of the cutter,
she must have been pressed during
the run, and the chances are that
it is not more than ten days since
she left Honolulu. Her starboard
coal bunkers were apparently
empty, as she had a decided list to
ports. F. paper.

fringed with palm and taro leaves.
The ten cent stamp displays q
handsome white star in the center
peeping out from among cocoanuts
and palms. The last of the series
is light blue and presents a very
fine cut of President Dole.
The designs were the work of
Mr.. Holdsworth, aud do him great
credit. The stamps will be printed
by the American Bank Note Com
pany.
The stamps will probably arrive
here about the end of February,
and will be placed on sale immedi-
ately. This will no doubt create a
handsome premium on the former
issues, on which the Government
should make a good thing.

THE NEW STAMPS.
They Will be Ready for Sale With,
in a Few Weeks.

The Mariposa brought to the
postoffice the proofs of the new
issue of stamps which will replace
the surcharged stamps now in use.
The series consists of one, two, five,
ten and twenty-five cents, making
a total value of forty-three cents.
The one cent is pleasing shade
of yellow, and diplays the Hawai-
ian coat of arms. The two cent
has the color known to dealers as
sepia, and the design is a very
pretty sea view of Honolulu, as like
as such views generally are. The
words Hawaii above and 2 cents
below, are in broad faced white let
tiers, which are very unique. The
word postage is in a thin faced let
ter printed in a dark color at the
sides.
The five cent is a light carmine
stamp, presenting the statue of Ka-

Monarchy in Hawaii.

There have been so many re-
quests for a reproduction, in con-
venient form, of the article by
Prof. Alexander on Monarchy in
Hawaii" that it has been decided
to issue the article in pamphlet
form. This pamphlet, which will
be ready today, will be most val
liable work, being both interesting
to all who know the history of the
islands, and instructive to those
who do not.

The postponed annual meeting OF
the Planters Labor and Supply Co.
was opened yesterday morning at
the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce, at 1915.
Roll call. Present, President r.
win, Secretary w. o. Smith, and
Messrs. Baldwin, Swanzy, Lydgate,
Wilcox, e. NJ, Schaefer, Glade,
Wilcox, "a. S., Bolte, Davies,

The reading of the minutes was
dispensed with, as they had been
published. The Secretary then read
the annual report. 1t was accepted.
Twelfth Annual RspOIt of the
Secretary Planters Labor
and Supply Company.
Since the last annual meeting of the
Planters Labor and Supply Company
the Trustees have held fourteen meet
ings. These meetings have been well
attended and matters brought before
them have received full attention.
LABOR.
The various phrases of the labor
question las in years pastl, chiefly Oc-
cupied the attention of the Trustees.
The only supplies of agricultural Ia
borers from abroad for several years
past have been from Japan, and while
the Japanese have in many respects
given satisfaction, the objections to
depending upon one class have not
diminished; and the attitude of the
japanese authorities upon the subject
of giving japanese subjects in Hawaii
the voting franchise has also compli-
Gated the question.
The economic, political and social
questions involved in the immigration
and labor questions, in their bearing
upon the present and future conditions
of this country, are of great import
ance. These questions have received
serious and careful consideration, as
well as the matter of the demand for
laborers.
The report of the Committee on La
Dor and the discussions at the coming
meeting will doubtless give additional
upon the subject.
The following statistics will show
the number of immigrant laborers
who have arrived since October 1st,
1892.

Excess of arrivals. 2351 $50 -. As
most of whom may be available as
agricultural laborers.
Rates of wages for day laborers have
been during the year and are now
about the same as they were last year,
whilst modification has been made
in the wages of laborers who came
under contract from Japan, and also
in the charges for bringing these la
borers. By these notifications the
wages and expenses for such contract
laboTers have been reduced to about
the same sum as that paid for wages
alone to day laborers. Day lahorers
have been offering freely, and your
committee have not learned of any
difficulty in obtaining laborers during
the last twelve months.
The foregoing figures show large
preponderence of japanese over Chi
nese. The japanese labOrer is indus
trious, obedient, intelligent and
handy, of cheerful disposition and
readily exchanges many of his home
habits for the forms of Western civili-
cation; he is, therefore, q valuable
addition to the Hawaiian population
as laborer and settler, but as some
of our planters prefer having laborers
of different natiOnalities, it might be
advisable to encourage immigration
of Chinese agricultural laborers to
certain extent. c. BoLTE,
