His name is Sanford Fleming,
and his life's history is connected
with some of the great works in the
Dominion of Canada.
Mr.. Fleming, accompanied by
W. II. Mercer, arrived by the Aus
tralia Saturday. A. G. S. Halves,
Acting British Commissioner, had
been apprised that Mr.. Fleming
would arrive by that steamer, and
before she was sighted he engaged
for him suite No. II. which is con-
sidered the finest at the Hawaiian
hotel. Mr.. Hawes met Mr.. Flem-
ing, not as an individual, but as an
official, and later on Captain May,
of the Hyacinth, called upon the
new arrival.
This official courtesy demon
strates that Mr.. Fleming is not
here in an individual capacity, nor
as the representative of corpora
tion. Indeed, he is special COM
missioner from the Dominion and
his object in this city is to make
some arrangement with the Govern

Penrose a trifie too broad-indeed'
as the story is told in lay circles
today, they feared he might take
the bit between his teeth.
The clergyman is a son of Judge
Penrose, an eminent jurist of
Philadelphia. Early in life he
studied for the ministry, and when
manhood came he was full
f1edged Congregational pastor. Pos
sessing a strong voice, a winning
manner and sound body, he
thought he would preach the gospel
in the far west, where others less
rugged than he could not venture.
Going to Washington when it
was yet territory, he secured a
small hall in little country town,
and of Sunday was wont to stand
on the street corners and sing. One
by one people came to him, and in
this manner he gathered about him
a congregation that he led into the
little hall.
Time passed and these people,
first attracted by the young pastors
voice in music, then by his words
in sermons, dubbed together and
decided to to erect something more
suitable than hall A church was
builded, and there it stands today.
Then Mr.. Penrose came to Homo
lulu. He preached, he saw, he
listened. He was liked by the
majority and disliked by the min
ority. 1t came to the time when
he should "be called" if such was
to be. But the night before the
meeting of the trustees Mr.. Pen
rose said to them:
"I shall return to Washington
and there start another church.
My mission is to preach to con-
gregation of sinners; not saints.
What he meant was not clearly
understood it is not to this day.
He was in earnest when he said II,
so members of the congregation
aver. Nevertheless certain of the
church people wished him to re-
main, and it was decided to ask
the clergyman to reconsider his
resolution.
The evening following Mr.. PEN
rose was at a social gathering.
While there he drank of a punch
made of unfermented grape juice
and smoked cigar.
There was no more talk of ask
ing the Rev. Mr.. Penrose to recon-
slider his resolution for tho Rev.

down with n grape juice punch
and cigar.

There is a gentleman in town
whose presence here means more
to the people of Hawaii than most
people are aware of. Indeed, only
a half-dozen know that with him
practically rests the all important
question whether the Pacific cable,
soon to be laid between Vancouver,
B. c., and the British colonies in
the South Seas, shall have land
ing place at Honolulu or not.

shown him many of the charms of
Oahu. 1t is not known when he
will make his !irst official visit to
the Executive Building, but he will
probably call there today. Not
having presented his credentials, it
is not known what title Mr.. Flem-
ing bears, but the official courtesies
shown him indicate that it is a
high one.

It is said that this Government
was also apprised of hi coming
and is anxiou4ly waiting what ov-
ertures there are to be made.
Mr.. Fleming's name has been
connected with many public enter
prises in the Dominion. He per-
sonally supervised some of the sur

way and was identified with a

him as pastor-if all should prove

Illiteracy in tho United states on the
wano Among the Natlvr Porn.
Illitoracy in the United States is
principally confined to tho foreign
born and colored citizens.
From the statistics of illiteracy in
1890 it appears that, of the total
population 10 years of age and over
in 1897, II per cent. o. one eighth,
were illiterate. Ten years earlier a
similar proportion was II per cent,
or about one-siXth, showing an i'm
mense reduction in the proportion OF
illiterates. This reduction has taken
place in the ranks of the nativc-born
whites and the co'ored, while among
the foreign born the proportion has
increased, Thus, the proportion oil
illiterates among the native whites
was, in 1890, 81 per cent, and in
1880, 81 per cent. Among the colored
the corresponding proportions were
SOL per cent, and 20 per cent. Among
the foreign born, on the other hand,
the proportion of illiterates in 1890
was 1871 per cent, and in 1880 u per
cent, an increase to be accounted for
by the excessive immigration of the
decade and by the character of much
Of that immigration, which consisted Of
the lower classes of Southern and
Eastern Europe-ltalians, Huns, Poles
and Bohomians.
The illiteracy of the country is,
therefore, mainly represented by the
foreign born and the colored elements,
and by the latter in much greater de-
gree than the former. Considering
the entire population, the states in
which illiteracy is most prevalent arc
those OF the South. Mason and Dix
on's line, the Ohio river, and the
thirty-sevonh parallel OF latitude
separate the literate from the illiterate
states. North of that line the proper
ton of illitoracy ranges from 81 in
Nebraska up to 1913 in Nevada
South of that line it ranges from 1A.G
in the district of Columbia, to 45.S in
Louisiana, if we except Oklahoma,
which was largely settled from Kansas,
and carried Kansas education with it,
Indeed, throughout the cotton states
the proportion ranges high. being
forty per cent in Mississippi, forty-one
in Alabama, nearly forty in Georgia,
and forty-fve in South Carolina. In
the Northern states, throughout New
England and the upper Mississippi
valley. the average is between five and
six per cent.

back to time when the Hudson stur-

Importance In the present campaign
against China, and which will in all
likelihood be extended to the mainland
as soon as opportunity serves. There
is hardly a point on the Japanese
coast without its telegraphic station,
and in fact, the system there, consider
ing that 1t is the growth Of few
years, is of surprising extent and efii-
cheney. Field telegraphy, modelled up
on the latest European standards is in
use in her armies and the police and
fire-alarm signals are now communi-
Gated by electricity throughout all the
large towns in the empire. Japan has
profted by her Western schooling in
all particulars, but in none has she
shown more ingenuity and energy than
in appropriating to herself all the lat
est results in electrical science, includ-
ing that Of lighting up her streets and
larger buildings. Unless China is in
clined to follow so enlightened an ex-
ample, it may become necessary for
Japan to annex her and take the bus
mess In hand herself.

The Pacific Express Company declines
to carry money packages into the In
dian Territory, on account Of the nu-
merous train robberies which have
lately taken place in that region. The
population there is limited, and will
now be penniless, and consequently
desperate, until the embargo on the
import of currency is removed. One
way Of Fastening this measure OF relief
would be to hang the felonous element
Of the territory, so far as found out
along the principal lines of railway,
as a warning to their kith and kind
to conduct their predatory operations
elsewhere. This might restore con-
fidence to the express company till a
new robbery took place, but 1t is hard
ly a feasible expedient after all. The
frequency of crime and its immunity
indicate the difficulty Of its extirpation,
but 1t is obvious that on exposed lines
the railway and express companies
might provide more efficient safeguards
than they have hitherto done.
