How a Great Story Was Written.

The history OF any great and sue
cessful undertaking is always interest
ing, therefore at the risk of being ac-
cussd of violating personal confidence,
we tell our readers OF the origin of
famous story of the late war. The
publishers of the Chicago Ledger
wanted a story which, besides being
love story of great merit, should vivid
ly describe the thaillIng events of the
battle of Gettysburg and the siege OF
Richmond. One author after another
failed in the work, land at last the
famous St George Rathburne was ap-
prQyched on the subject. He demand
ed a fabulous price for the work. but
1t was paid, and the story was actually
written to order 1t is, however,
printed under the pen name of Hugh
Allen" 1t is declared by critics. who
have been shown the advance sheets,
to be the best story of the war ever
written. The first instalment OF it ap-
peared in No. 3, Vol. xiii of the Led
ger. and at once attracted the great
est attention. A private letter from
the editor informs us that il order TO
reach all classes of people, the pub
fishers of the Ledger will mail the
opening chapters of the story free of
charge to all who send in their names
at once. The Ledger is great paper,
and each week gives story matter
enough to make dollar book. Ad-

THE OPIUM SEIZURE.

Oh no! neither the customs off.
cials nor the police are any good
The use of the tug was a useless
expense. 1t was filibuster that the
Government boat was after. 1t was
merely the groundless fears of the
President that kept the officials on
the alert. Thus the opposition
press of the city. Well, the officials
did keep on the alert apd late on
Saturday night a schooner with
400 pounds of opium on board
was captured off Keau, little be-
yond Waianae. There was no fuss
about it and the capture was made in
a quiet and business like manner.
Our authorities are certainly awake
much to the sorrow of those who
make a nefarious income out Of the
import and sale of the drug. a
most unwarrantable attack was re-
Gently made upon the Customs
authorities, in which it was charged,
by innuendo, that some OF them
were implicated in the importation
of opium. A more outrageous
charge could not have been made.
Our Custom House officials are
men of tried integrity, we'll known
among the community as incap-
able of the crookedness implied.
Our police is composed of trusty
body of men, alert and fearless in
the performance OF every duty.
The capture OF the Henrietta is a
feather in the cap of the authorities
and will silence, for time at least,
the little knot OF chronic kickers
who sigh for the good old days
when opium could be run in under
the very noses of the officials. That
it should silence them for good and
all is not likely. Their grumbling
is the salt of their lives and they
do not intend to pass a flavorless
existence. To check smuggling is
one OF the hardest things in the
world, every civilized nation is
troubled with it. Especially
it is difficult to check on islands
which have so long a sea-
board as ours. Our authorities

THE letters to Mr.. McStocker,
Deputy Collector of Customs, pub
Iished in our issue of today show
how well informed our Customs
officials are. They have means of
knowing what most vessels sail
with. Collector-General Castle and
Deputy Collector McStocker are
thoroughly efficient officials who
have quietly attended to the man
agement of their Office. They have
done their duty undeterred by the
senseless howl of derision set up by
people who would rather see dozens
Of cargoes of opium landed than
have the Government officials sue
coed. With them it is anything to
beat the officials, anything to
thwart the most honest efforts.
Slipped up this time. The opposi-
ton press was facetious a little too
soon. He laughs best who laughs

have all along shown the most
commendable energy in trying to
meet the difficulty and the capture
OF the Henrietta will certainly give
the opium smuggling a very de-
cided black eye. The opposition
press has done the Government
this good service, by constantly de-
riding our officials and represent
ing them as venal, it has lulled
the smugglers into a false security
from which they have received a
very rude awakening.
OF course the matter will come
before the Courts and the schooner
people will try to prove that they
are but innocent traders who sim
ply put into Keau for water. As
they have told several different
tales and had a very ample sup
ply of water on board, the story
has very ancient and fish-like
smell. 1t will have a very much
stronger odor when all the inform
alton that the authorities have is
laid before the public. Honor to
whom honor is due, our officials
have fully vindicated themselves |
md deserve the greatest praise.
The chronic grumblers can give Us
rest.

ANOTHER instance of what Japan
csc competition can do has come to
hand. A wooden firm in Oakland
has set up, under contract, its mills
in Japan, and finds that, even after
paying duty upon the goods enter
ing the States, it can undersell all
competitors. 1t is not patriotic,
but it is good business and shows
the way the wind blows.

which he acted last Saturday.
Marshal Brown is a cool-headed
careful man, ever on the alert and

whether, after the schooner was

THE women of Honolulu have
produced a bright paper in the
woman's edition of Time. The
main object Of the publication is to
aid the kindergarten movement,
but aside from that there are
articles, bright, argumentative,
thoughtful and humorous, upon
woman in Hawaii, her work at the
present and her position in the
future. The editors and writer's
prove that Honolulu women can
unitedly give a lively paper and
handle their subjects judiciously.
In speaking Of the Possibilities for
Women" no mention Is made of
the women who are principals of
large mixed schools. The "possi-
bilities" of woman in this direction
are admirably eXemplified by Miss
Deyo of Hilo, Miss Malone of Wal
hee and Miss Angela Crook of Pa
hala. There are also some of the
sex who have shown their aptitude
in direct business as collectors and
financial managers. We congrat-
ulate the women of Honolulu upon
this edition of Time.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC CLUB.
THE GREAT SCOTCH GAME Is
SURE TO BECOME POPULAR
IN THE CITY.
REQUIRES SKILL AND PRACTICE
Will Become n Fashionable Game
The Grounds at the Town
and Country Club.

The latest English game to gain
popularity in America is golf, and it
has become quite the rage with fash
ionable society. It is an excellent
game, as it is one which brings the
player into exceedingly active out
door exercise, and, while it looks
easy, yet it takes skill to do much at
it. st. Paul has a Golf club that is
full Of enthusiasm, for it numbers
in its membership several expert
players who have won prizes abroad
for their efficient playing, and these
experts excite the admiration and
envy of the noviceS, SO golf in st.
Paul is sure to become popular. Bet
ter still, the club has a "golfing
who know what they are talking
about, is second to none in the coun-
try, and they even go so far as to
say that it is fully equal to some Of
the famous grounds in Scotland,
where many a celebrated contest has
taken place. The new grounds are
out near the Town and Country club,
in fact, within a five minutes walk
from this pretty place, and are on
Gov Merriam'S property. The holes
extend across an open tract some
800 yards so that when the game
has been played the players travel
over a distance of two miles or more.
The grounds are not fully fitted up
yet, owing to the dry weather, but
when spring opens up they will be
put in regulation order. AS it is, they
are now far ahead of most grounds,
and excellent games are played ev-
cry few days. The ground possesses
natural hazard" that is hard to
beat in the shape of ravine, and
this, with two large bunkers which
have been fitted up and are in direct
line of the play, make all the "haz-
ards" necessary. The players who
are most deeply interested in the
game are George Nettleton, Craw-
ford Livingston, F. B. Clark and 9TH
ers who spend a great deal of their
odd time practicing the game, and
are playing a fairly good score. AS
the game is a Scotch one, it is eX-
pected that the most enthusiastic
players of golf will be the members
of the st. Andrews societies of the
two cities, and they are taking a
great deal of interest in it, George
w. McCrea, deputy state boiler in
spector, is acting as coach of the
club, and in practicing the other day
made the round of the grounds in
forty-four strokes, which he says was
poor playing, for it is his opinion
that the round should be made in
thirty-SiX strokes.

by London's big wheel, which is the
most striking feature of the empire
of India exhibition and thirty-six
feet higher than the Ferris wheel at
the Worlds fair, after which it was
modelled. 1t is built to carry 1900
passengers.
1t is said that none of that sickly
feeling which many people experience
in a lift mars the ascent, nor do
creaks and joys alarm the ascending
fair. The trip is forty minutes of
novel delight.
Rearing it's 300 feet of Orders and
rivets and cushioned cars above the
cleaning courts of the Indian exhi-
bition, the great wheel goes round with
its forty carriages suspended around
the edge of the immense steel and iron
fabric, from which one may observe
the magnificent view of London and
it's suburbs
The great towers on either side of;
the wheel are to be used for recreation
purposes. A ball room is on top of
each tower, and there are three restau-l
rants built. one above the other
where visitors may eat and drink. and
watch the wheel go round.
