The Women Are at Work to
Raise Funds for an Exhibit
at Atlanta.

The women have gone bravely
to work in an effort to have Miss
issippi creditably represented at
Atlanta. The following address,
which explains itself, has just been
issued:

civil, political and financial trials,
than has grand old Mississippi?
Has any other State than ours sent

Here is record of which every
Mississippian may well be proud;
then in the name of all she has
produced, Of her pride, of her pa

her wonderful products at the At

What "A Ships Flags Tell Us.

Every one who has watched great
ocean steamship coming into or going
out of port has noticed that flags fly
from nearly every masthead as well as
from flagstaff at her stern, yet few
people understand that every one of
those flags is hoisted for special rea-
son and tells something about the ship
and her movements. A writer in st.
Nicholas says it is easy to learn what
the flags tell for they mean the same
things on all ships the world over, but
first we must know the different kinds
of flags
A flag proper is rectangular, TRAN
gular flag is called pennant, and tri-
angular flag with the end notched out
is called II burgee. A flag proper, with
its end notchod ont, is called broad
pennant, and very long narrow pen
nant is called coach whip pennant.
First, then, the big national flag
waving from the short staff at the stern
tells in what country the ship is owned
and registered 1t tells her home. Then
the national flag at the foremost head
tells the country to which she is going.
If it is the same flag as that ut her
stern, it tells that she is Just getting
home from long journey at sea. Then
at the mainmast head You will see q
flag, or pennant, or burgee, which
is not the flag of any nation, but has on
it letters and symbols with which you
are probably unfamiliar That is her
house flag''-that is to say, the dis.
tinguishing flag of the company to
which she belongs. If you spend much
time on the sea or in seaport cities, you
will learn many of these house flags by
heart. Thus the Cunard line house flag

CHINA'S FUTURE.

The Hong Kong M0iFs highly
interesting depletion of the pro-
posed new China reads like con-
verging possibility. The writer of
the article reproduced in THE STAR
has had access to the plans and
specifications of those hoping to
replace the flag ends Of a once
glorious civilization with the life,
the enterprise, the liberty, the
equality, the enlightenment of the
progressive West. These arch
fleets of a revised ma
ton and a changed empire are
men of wonderful skill in the
science of government. 1t is APP
parent at once that they are states
men with certificates of graduation
from the civilizing schools of Great
Britain, the United States and
Europe. With the highest skill
and the utmost cunning, the keen
minds behind the colossal move
ment have pointed out and measur-
ed every obstacle and have calcu-
lated on meeting every difficulty
They propose, too, a form and
manner of government that seems
admirably adapted to the
necessity of making the movement
popular and effective and to hedge
safety and satisfaction about the
transitory period. The careful re-
view of the scheme of honest revo-
luton and peaceful reform is almost
romantic. But it is terribly real
and earnest and will make its inn
press upon the world. And the
question to ponder over, is, Who
are the men engineering this
gigantic AFFAIR."

MUSIC AT OAHU.
Concert at the College Under Direction
of Miss Axtell.


of Miss Axten.
The parlor of Oahu College was
comfortably filled with guests last
night, assembled to enjoy the
musicale arranged by Miss Axtell.
Unlike former entertainments OF
this character most of the pupils
who have been taking music parti-
cipated in the program. Two of the
young ladies had entered the music
class last September, while last
evening was the first appearance of
five others.
Misses Axtell and Wilcox opened
the entertainment with a piano
duet, Invitation la Valse." A
song, "Speed Away" followed,
sung by the College Glee Club.
Misses Axtell, Mabel Sumter, Nellie
Porter, Edith Bond, Ivy Richard
son, Winniired Andrews, Lizzie
Lindsay and Elsie Wilcox offered
piano solos, chiefly exercises, that
were enjoyed. Miss Matte Rich
ardson sang two very beautiful
selections. The college chorus
sang THE Song Of the Triton, " and
the program ended with the Stun
Der Song" by the Girls Glee Club.
Great credit is due Miss Axtell
for the enjoyable affair and for the
proficiency attained by her pupils
after SO short a time at training.
The playing in each case evidenced
careful and accurate instruction,
and the proper ground work for
thorough musical educations. The
choruses were specially pleasing.
These pupils have been under the
special training of Miss Axtell for
several months past.

of saloon Men,

In the absence of President
Allen, Councilman Tenny acted as
chairman at the meeting of the
Executive and Advisory Councils
in joint session Tuesday after
noon.
Minister Smith read a petition
from J. Kamakna asking to be re-
stored to his civil rights. The
man served a term i'll prison some
years ago. He is now living in
Kau and the petition was Endorsed
by a number of good men of that
district. On motion the petition
was granted.
President Dole presented a
petition from liquor dealers OF
Honolulu for remuneration from
losses sustained during the con
tinuance of martial law. Referred
to Judiciary Committee.
Minister Hatch read a communi-
cation from British Commits
sioner Halves on the subject OF the
nationality of A. NJ. Hewitt, 7. b.
Walker and II. w. Richard. Mr..
Hewitt is found to possess no
claims to British Citizenship, With
the other two, however, different
view is taken and Lord
Kimberly considers them not
Hawaiian subjects. The state
ments of Richard and Walker
to Mr.. Halves were also read. Mr..
Hatch stated that the matter was
still under consideration by the
Executive Council, and that the
opinions expressed by Lord Kim
berly had not been assented to by
that body.
The bill to authorize the Mar.
shall, his deputy, sheriffs and de-
putty. sheriffs to administer oaths
passed its second reading.
At 4:3o the Councils went into

FOREIGN RELATIONS.

well enough, Indignantly wants to
know why THE STAR doesn't
turn loose on Great Britain in
general and Lord Kimberley, Com
missioner Halves and Nice-Consul
T. Rain Walker in particular. The
Person declares, on a postal card,
that unless THE STAR does this
it will lose its Yellow Jacket OF
Hawaiian Republicauism and its
Peacock Feather of the Exponent
of Americanism. 1t may be
that the Person is entitled
to an explanation. To pos
tulate, as the theologists remark,
THE STAR will say that Great
Britain and her officials are safe
against abuse in this paper for the
same reasons that the Government
of the United States and its repre-
sentatives are exempt. The deep,
underlying principles active or re-
81 ousible are called by the names
of Common Sense and Ordinary
Courtesy, and being amalgamated
present the face of the policy OF
Reason VS.. Flapdoodle.
The status of the incident which
impels the postal card remon-
STRANGE from the Person is
that a decorous and entirely friend
ly diplomatic correspondence thai
is regarded as strictly prop
er is pending between Hel
Maiesty's Government and the Re
public of Hawaii. In all ptoba
bilitv when it ends there Will no
be any cause for protest from all,
quarter. There has been received
from the British foreign office al
expression on Hawaiian citizenship
which the foreign Office here dis
putes and will argue. There is NJ
occasion for bluster.
Many people seem to lose sigh
of the fact that this Government
has raised itself to a place in tn

The republican Buffalo Erpress con-
graduates the country on the fact that
of the forty-one republican senators
only nineteen are silver men. II
enumerates them as follows: Perkins,
Wolcott, Teller, Sweet. Dubois, Baker,
Mantle, Carter, Thurston, Pritchard,
Hansbrough, Mcbride, Mitchell,
Cameron, Pettigrew, Squire, Elkins,
Clark, Warren. The Twenty-Five re-
publican senators said to be uncom-
promislngly opposed to silver are
Platt, Hswley, Cullom, Gear, Alli-
son, Frye, Hale, Hoar, Lodge, Nc
MILAN, Burrows, Davis, Nelson,
Chandler, Gallinger. Sewell, Sherman,
Quay, Wetmore, Aldrich, Morrill,,
Proctor and the senator yet to be
chosen from Delaware. The Express
further treasures the East that "of the
silver republicans there are not more
than FIVE who are silver extremists, in
sisting on 16 to l or nothing. Indeed,
1t is doubtful IL there are more than
two. Even Wolcott of Colorado has
lately been talking about compromise.
Some of the men we have named as
silverites are very uncertain, for ex-
ample, Mcbride and Baker, neither of
whom has committed himself"

The Governors Plan.

Governor Richards has appointed a
mineral land commission on his own
hook. Its personnel is excellent, con.
sisting of Thomas G.. Merrill, w. w.
Dixon and George w. Irwin III. We
don't see any pecuniary emoluments
in it for these gentlemen-they are ex-
pected to contribute their time and
experience and learning for the good
of the people of the state. The pur.
pose of this commission, as we take il
from the letter of the governor, is to
serve, SO far as possible, as a check
upon the carpetbagging commission
appointed by President Cleveland
should the carpetbaggers attempt to
give the state any the worst of it-as
everybody in Montana expects them
to do.
Governor Richards in appointing his
commission was animated by a whole
some desire to protect Montana from
what has very much the appearance
of being brace game; and it is
earnestly TO be hoped that Messrs.
Merrill, Dixon and Irwin will be able
TO serve in this labor of love. They
will run up against hard proposition

A Washington newspaper tries to
trace a direct connection between the
hard times and many of the crimes Of
recent months. These are the train
robberies, burglaries, murders for
money and thefts-all money-getting
crimes, indicating the desperate straits
to which this class of criminals had
been reduced. Ordinarily such offenses
mean chiefly the natural growth in
crime of depraved and petty offenders,
but their rapid and unprecedented in
crease within period covered by the
past four years can be attributed to
one common cause.-the trying times,
during which formerly quiet and in
offensive men, have been driven to
desperation. OF like character pos
sibly are the numbers Of defalcations
and shortcomings by persons occupy
ing before an honorable fiduciary posi-
ton. The theory is at least q plausible
one and It is to be sincerely hoped it is
a correct one, for as the times grow
better these violations of law must
proportionately decrease. e
