Tons Of Niagara Grapes.

ton the Citizen correspondent yesterday
visited and examined the large vine
yards near this place owned by the
Niagara Grape Company. Manager
King was busy putting his tramroad in
order and getting it ready to transfer
the grapes from the packing-house to
the railroad track a mile distant.
These vineyards cover about $50 acres
of land. Originally considerable more
land was planted in vines, but some of
the land proved too low for grape Gull
ture, and this portion has been laid out
and planted to something else. The
fruit is now approaching maturity,a few
of the punches assuming that translucent
appearance which indicates rlpeness.
A few days more will see the fruit ripe,
and then the harvest will commence in
earnest. The size of the punches is one
of the first things to attract the atten
ton of the visitor. With the party was
a gentleman who has been engaged in
grape growing in Northern Ohio for
years one association in New York
offered premium for single punches
which would weigh pound. Mr.. King
claims that one pound punches are not
at all unusual in these vineyards, and
frequently single punches have been
found which exceeded this weight by
several ounces. He thinks that he will
have good many one-pound punches.
this year. He says, however, that these
large lunches are not desirable, as they
are incOnvenient IN packing, and as a
rule hav.. to be cut in order to get them
into the baskets without crowdlng out
ev rvthing else except small clusters or
fragnrn's
The Weld Of fruit this season is alto
gelher SatiSfact. A number of
vines were examined on which the fruit
was estimated at ten to fifteen pounds
to tn Vine This, too, on vineyards
which have been set but four years.
OF course these we're exceptional. and as
often were there found other vines with
not more than two or three pounds of
fruit. 1t was noticed that the clusters
were solid and compact, so much so
that frequently it was found that sew
eral berries in cluster had been forced
from their stems by the pressure of the
growing fruit, and were turning black
and drying up. These can be removed
by a little movement of the end of the
finger. The contiguous berries were
found to be perfectly sound and free
from any disease.
DR.. King estimates his crop this sea-
son at 100 tons, provided no hailstOrm
or other accident befalls the fruit before
it can be gathered. He now has men
at work in the packing houses putting
up crates in which TO ship his fruit.
When the harvest begins, he expects to
work two forces, mostly girls, one at
each packing-hOuse. In the smaller one
he has room for about twenty; in the
other twice as many can work comfort
ably. AS the fruit is brought in from
the vines, it is sorted, and all lOw-grade
fruit is discarded. The high-grade is
examined bunch by bunch, and every
imperfect berry is removed. The clus-
tiers are then packed in three-pound

In THE centers of population
abroad there are armies of idle, and
grim want and dire distress tease

misery invades the homes and the
hearts In Hawaii every man has

quarrel anyhow. There is story
of man who finally reached the
pearly gates and there addressed

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light

IT HAS been manifest for some
months that not a little of the
trade of the islands was being di-
verified from San Francisco to cities
of the Sound country. Seattle is
tbs most aggressive trader. Port
land, too, has been after business.
In the item of houer the San
Francisco dealers have been forced
to reduce their price. 1t is now
announced that there is to be al
rect steamer half the year from
Portland TO Honolulu. 1t is
known that arrangements are
being made quietly for a steamer
line from Seattle. When San
Francisco wakes up she will be
obliged to do some tall hustling.'
In addition to having staples
cheapened, Honolulu will have
more tourists and more frequent
mails.

Loss of Grandchildren Drives Native

Alale, a very old native, is held
at the Station house charged with
insanity. He was acquitted upon
the same charge few days ago.
The old man has had trouble of
late. A few days ago two of his
grandchildren died only a few
hours apart. He accused woman
named Kaahanui of praying them
to death. He went to the woman
and threatened to beat her with a
club. Kaahanui had him arrested
and the charge of insanity came up.
When Alale was released it was
to find third grandchild very
sick. Once more he approached
the woman and accused her as be-
fore. He was locked up again and
is now out Of his mind. If he lives
through his troubles he will prob
ably spend the rest of his days in
the asylum.

THE police clubbing episode o.
Tuesday evening was the talk OF
down town till everyone went home
and has been a subject for gossip
all of today. THE STAR endeavors
to present the facts as matter OF
news. On the streets there is a
disposition to exaggerate the affair
and even to take sides. This latter
is as much TO be discouraged as the
use of the club. We rather think
the police department will inquire
into the charge of brutality. l

THERE is published at Cincinnati

THERE is published at Cincinnati
a paper called the Southwest and
denominated IAN Independent
Democratic Weekly" In recent
issue this print gravely inquiries:
"'Do the Missions Help the
Heathen." From this text it pro-
ceeds to preach that christianity
has in all instances ruined the alb
originies and that those who carry
the gospel to foreign parts are great
rascals. There is malice in the
question Of the Southeast and hate
in its assertions. 1t seems to be
pretty we'll established, however,
that the rapid evolution required by
civilization is too drastic an appli-
cation for the people whose happi-
ness as semi-savages is inexplicable.

fall behind in racing with the skill
ed traders and trained politicians
who come from distant shores. Sir
Cecil Rhodes and men of his class
are very nearly correct when they
declare, with almost brutal abrupt
ness, that it is the mission of the An
glo-Saxon to conquer and acquire
and rule. The British or American
pioneer takes to colonizing field a
force that finds worthy opposition
only within itself. But along with
it he takes the divine notions of
right and wrong. 1t is these that
are too frequently put aside. 1t is
then that those who retain thought
of Justice must assert the higher
and the true principles governing
the advance OF the Anglo-Saxon.

A FEW days ago a committee OF
the Health Board reported with an
apparent show Of satisfaction that
alarm on the growth Of one of the
King street cemeteries was entirely
unfounded. The committee added
that there was ample room for 1000
more graves. Now this is a subject
that must be handled with gloves.
But it does seem that it is about
time for Honolulu to be thinking
of becoming modern as to Gene
teries.

this double encroachment Is serious
matter. For several years, therefore,
rome contractors have employed q ma

then dumps it into the trench again.
This renders unnecessary any heaping

Just now, but the essential principles

The speed Of Electricity.

The speed Of electricity under the
most favorable conditions is now estab-
lished to be 10000 miles a second.
What this enormous speed implies n
somewhat dimly suggested by an Illus
tration recently used by the eminent
scientist, Sir Robert Bell. Suppose
that row Of telegraph posts $4,000
miles long were erected around the
earth at the equator. Suppose thAt .
wire were stretched upon these posts
for this circuit of $4,000 miles. and that
then another complete circuit was
taken by the same wire around the
same posts. and then another. and yet
another. In fact. let the wire b
wound no fewer than seven times COM
pletely about this great globe. We
should then find that an electric signal
sent into the wire at one end would &C.
complain the circuit in one second Of
time.

stead of bucket the tackle carries q
huge bowlder that has been loOsened
and encircled with q chain. The trestle
extends for q distance of nearly three
hundred feet, which IS scarcely more
than q short city block, and 1t is
mounted on little casters running on
rails. so that when occasion requires
the whole thing can be showed along to
keep pace with the work. At street
crossings, ordinary teams can easily
pass between the upright frames. At
present the system here described Is
being used to open trench in Boston
twenty weight feet wide and thirty feet
deep. One Of these days it is posi-
bic that the men with pick and shovel
will be replaced with excavating scoops
driven by machinery.
