After the Illinois BoodIers,

Col. Jonathan Merriam did not get
the chance to introduce his reso!u-
tion calling for a legislative investi-
cation in the house at Springfield
yesterday. There was no quorum
present, and the colonel showed his
bombshell back in his desk to keep
until next week. Only Sc members
we're present when the house con-
vened, which is q less than quo
rum of all elected. The house did
not wait to secure a quorum either,
and manifested every sign that it
was immensely gratified that moth
ing could be done. 1t remained in
session just three minutes. As soon
as Speaker Cochran's gavel fell. Rep
resentative Muir, of Cook, moved

adjourned until Monday evening at
5 o'clock. That carried. Then MIR.
Berry moved to adjourn, and the mo
tion went through without oppose
tion. The nightmare Of apprehen-
sion was temporarily suspended, and
the members left for their homes
minus the distressing load they had
been carrying all the week. The
motions made all came from mem-
bers OF the steering committee.

Colonel Merriam returned to his
desk without word. He did
not argue the matter at all with the
steering committee. nor would he
discuss it very much with anybody.
but it was evident he was mad clear
through.
1t is known that the steering COM
mittee does not favor the introduc-
tion of an investigation resolution at
this time. Col. Merriam, however,
does not propose to be bound by the
dictates of the committee. He sub
mitted the resolution to the commit
tee merely rs a courtesy. If the
leaders continue to discourage his
plan, the colonel will so ahead on his
own hook. The prospects are that
he will stir up the dry bones next

last session OF the Pennsylvania leg
islature. or the 4S4 bills passed he

plurality the republicans Of that

GATHERING OF THE CLANS.
ScOtsmen Extend Hospitality to a
Departing Member.

Members of the Thistle Club and
invited friends spent a pleasant
evening last night in their hall.
The regular meeting night was en-
livened by a farewell to A. CARVE,
a member who is soon to leave for
MakaweH to accept lucrative pO-
si.ion at that place; also to con-
graduate Thomas Black, another
member, on his recent marriage
and in return for lavish hospital
ity extended members of the club
at his residence last Wednesday
evening.
Chief Logan opened the meeting
with complimentary remarks to
Mr.. CARVE, who had proved to be
a most valued member. His de-
parture was deeply regretted and
his absence would be seriously felt.
He had labored zealously for the
welfare of the club in and out of
season, holding the position of
treasurer and other important
Offices
Mr.. CARVE responded cordially
to the kind words offered. He
regretted to leave the club, but
would cherish the fondest recollec-
tions of the many pleasant hours
spent with the members.
What he had done for the
interest of the society was from a
sense of duty, much pleasure re-
sulting therefrom.
George Dali recited Burns mas
terful Tam O'Shanter;" William
Mckay sang a favorite Scottish
ballard, in which all joined
Thomas Black read a stirring, pat
riotic essay on Scotland and the
many prominent characters that
country has produced.
A serviceable present in the
shape of an elegant clock was pre-
scented Mr.. Black. Archie Steele
read an excellent essay on Home"
which was well prepared and par
ticularly pleasing to those present.
Other members made appropriate
remarks, interspersed with lively
songs. Genuine Scottish hospi-
tally prevailed, bumpers being
drunk to health, wealth and pros
perity of Messrs. Garvie, Black and
other members.

If mine are not freaks in growth

coffee is the tree for these islands,
as 1t returns an income almost as
quickly as cane.
~ These same trees promise a large
yield this year. They will GER
tainly yield two pounds per tree, if
they equal their promise and no
accident happens to them. This
yield for trees three years old is
very promising. The native vari-

not equal the Guatemala in growth

GUATEMALA COFFEE TREES
Mr.. Horner Has Obtained Promis-
ing Returns From Them.

Mr.. EDITOR When Mr.. Wide
mann was minister he imported
from Guatemala some seed coffee
of which I received a small lot
which produced me over 800 trees.
I transplanted them from the
nursery to their present position
two years ago last January. Dur
ing the two years their average
growth was over five feet; some
even exceeded six feet and were
topped at that height.
The trees average forty primaries
each. The average yield of berries
was 800; several most favorably
located yielded 1900. The greatest
yield from any tree was over 1000
berries, a phenomenal yield, no
doubt, for a coffee tree only three
years from the seed.
Primary four contained 395 ber-
ries; its opposite contained $50 /;
another 300, and other primaries
were of nearly equal promise on
this ard other trees. On this tree
there were 40 primaries, Is Of
which were in bearing within the
two years.
These 800 trees are surrounded
by nursery-raised native trees, set
about the same time and receiving
about the same care, both in the
nursery and in the grove, yet they
have not attained one half the
growth and produced no berries, or
but a few scattering ones. What l
want to know Is If others have
Guatemala trees. How do they
compare. with the native trees in
growth and fruit? Are they superb
or IN these respects OF is mine only
a freak? Has any one had the
coffee exported? If SO, how does it

PARTNERS FOR VEAL OR WOE,
Joseph P. Cooke and Miss Maud
Baldwin Man and Wife.
Thursday EveninG-SuptiaIs Wit
messed by over 600 Guests.

The beautiful home Of Hon. and
Mrs. II. p. Baldwin at Haiku,
Maui, was the scene Of a very large
and brilliant wedding last Thurs
day evening at s o'clock, when the
nuptials of Miss Maud Baldwin,
their handsome and highly accom-
plished daughter, and Joseph Plat
Cooke, well and favorably known
in his home cities of Oakland and
San Francisco, Cal, were SOL
emnized.
The words which bound the
couple until death do them part, Z"
were spoken in the presence of over
two hundred invited friends, by the
Rev. DR.. Beckwith, well known and
loved in Honolulu as well as on
Maui.
The bride, who is a pronounced
beauty of the blonde type, looked
lovely in an exquisite gown of pure
white silk, embroidered with Lilies
of the Valley. The skirt was cut
long court train and daintily
trimmed with punches Of Lilies of
the Valley. The bodice was high
at the neck, with long sleeves and
trimmed profusely with the rarest
lace. The hair was dressed high
and the dainty wedding veil held
in place with a most exquisite
crescent of diamonds. The brides
bouquet was white carnations and
maiden hair fern. The groom
wore the conventional black.
Miss Grace Cooke, sister of the
groom, was Maid of Honor, and
most perfectly graced the occasion.
She wore a pink silk crepe, cut
slightly low at the neck and taste
fully trimmed with pink chiffon.
She carried flowers of the same
shade.
Harry Baldwin, brother of the
bride, was groomsman. Misses
Lottie Baldwin and Alexander,
both dressed in white with pink
trimmings, made a pleasing pic
ture as bridesmaids.
After the ceremony refreshments
were served. The bridal party
was conveyed to Paia in carriages,
where a special train was in wait
ing to carry them to Waikiki.
The journey was made to Maalaea
Bay in carriages, at which place
the party boarded the steamer
Waialeale, reaching Honolulu
shortly after noon yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke went from
the steamer to the residence of the |
groom's uncle, G. NJ. Cooke. They |
will depart by the Australia today |
for Oakland, their future home.
May the blessings of life be album
dant is the sincere wish of their
many island friends.
Mrs. Cooke, Miss Ethel Cooke |
and Miss Alexander remained at
Haiku, and will not return to the
Coast for several weeks.
Hon. II. P. Baldwin, Manager
Colville, of Paia, H. A. Wilder and
two other gentlemen who attended
the festivities, accompanied the
bridal party to Honolulu.
