ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 19.-The open.

and clear. During the night the fin

Der of the buildings and every effort
had been made to get the grounds in
good shape for the opening. From the
top OF the forty-seven fagstaffs on the
buildings around the grounds fioated
penants and flags Of all nations, and
the doors of the buildings which had
been closed for several days were all
thrown open. In the interior of the
buildings over nine-tenths of the ex-
hibits were complete and neatly ap-
pareled attendants stood at each
booth.
AS the day grew older the crowds
that had been admitted to the
grounds gathered around the gates
and anxiously awaited the appearance
of the military and the directors.
Down town preparations began early
for the parade to the grounds, and the
uniforms of United States regulars
and visiting and local militia lent q
martial tone to the multitudcs. The
city was mass of bunting and wav-
ing decorations and flying flags.
At noon every steam whistle in the
city broke forth into noisy chorus,
the crowds in the streets cheered and
the festivities of the opening day We're
fairly begun. At l O'clock the pro-
cession under the command Of Colonel
W. L. Kellogg of the United States
army, began to move. In the line
were the Fifth regiment U. S. A., the

The Marquis of Salisbury has sent
an ultimatum to President Crespo

The ultimatum is now enroute to

most serious manner during
lthe late epidemic of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in Opt
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been a great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost Of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in a high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing Of the tower in a storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent
piece Of work can be turned out
at so low a price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor
to call in at our stores, or write
to us and we shall be pleased to

We understand that the Minister
OF Finance has expressed surprise
that we were in possession of certain
facts connected with proposed
consolidation of the debts of the
Hawaiian Government by a London
syndicate. We beg to tell him that
our information was derived direct
from London, and was not culled on
the "street corners" of Honolulu.
We cannot help that our contem-
poraries are not as we'll informed as
we are. We use our facts wherever,
and however we get them at the
proper time. The prop 'sal to con-
solidate the total debts of the Ha-
waiian Government for thirty years
at AZ percent interest, is yet before
His Excellency the Minister Of
Finance, and if he was wise and had
no prospects Of personal gain in
view, he would grasp at the offer
without delay.
How are we to take the following
from the Star:
"The degree of seriousness with
which the Government views the
accumulation of claims growing out
of martial law happenings is quite
clearly shown by the calm move
ments of prominent officials. The
Attorney General is making vaca-
tion trip to New Zealand, and the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs is ar
ranging to leave the Islands and
take charge of the Hawaiian Lega-
tion at Washington. Whatever the
outside talk or surmise, it is evident
the Cabinet is not greatly worried
over the various demands for dam
ages"
Is this sarcastic on the Govern
ment organs part? Or is it said in
the simplicity of faith and credence
of the ordinary idiot2 OF course
they are not worried7 They know
the claims have to be paid, but the
country's pockets have to stand the
brunt. Their own share will be
small.

ing the strenuous terms tho Monroe

Bayard was communicating the
terms OF the dispatch to Lord Sails

THEIR FUNNY WAYS.

Some of our sugar barons are
really amusing. About year ago a
prospectus was issued to the plant
ers for the formation of a sugar
trust which was going to "bust"
Spreckels and build a sugar refinery
on the Esplanade of Honolulu. Mr..
G. Bolte and Mr.. p. @. Jones were
the manipulating spirits of the
scheme, The prospectus and the
charter were kept profoundly secret,
but somehow or other the present
editor of The INDEPENDENT, who at
Chat time was editor of the Holo-
mua, secured a copy of the charter,
exposed the scheme, and by show
ing the true object Of the promot-
ers, had it shelved.

The situation was one of extreme
delicacy and difficulty at home and

party Of independence Of the coun-

funeral, although certainly the Presi-

attended the obsequies, and the chief
honors paid to him were accorded
by the graceful courtesy OF the

There is manliness and sense of
dignity and honor that rises superior
to political faction aud financial
fear. Captain Mist rests in the

remain green, and 80 will the broad

honors his profession stand out in
