SURPRISING. GROWTH.

The young growth on the old or
ange sturnps in this section has
made most wonderful strides since
the freeze. La many groves the
young growth is reported TO be
from ten to fifteen feet, and where
cared for are in a fine growing con-
dltion
Hon. Thomas Cochran reports
that his grove is dong nicely and
that he expects fair crop in 1897.
Many other growers are equally as
hopeful is Mr. Cochran, and all
are satisfied with the start made
this season. = Citrus County

r. J. KERR of Texas is now in
Florida endeavorlpg to interest
farmers in the cultivation of canal
gre. This plant produces great
quantities of tannin, one ton of it
being equivalent to five tons of
oak bark. 1t grows best on a
loose, sandy soil, producing tubers

HINDRANCE TO FLORIDA

D. F. Jack of the Plant System
made statement In the interview
with him which appeared in the
Morning News yesterday, which
contains much food Tor thought.
The Plant System" says he, "has
spent more money and done more
tor the purpose of attracting i'm
migrants to- the territory which it
covers in the past year than have
the states of Georgia and Florida. "
1t is the olIcy of both Georgia
and Florida to attract desirable i'm
migration. Georgia is doing some
good work in this direction, and
her ncwspa pers and railroads are
working IN harmony with the soci-
ETY. of which Ex-Governor NoIthen
is the head, to bIiog In desirable
white S. tiers. La Florida the sit
uation Is d hLtle different. Some
of the leading politicians and news
papers of that state are disposed to
treat the railroads as if they were
public enemies, with the result
that the immigration work suffers.
The railroads of Florida have done
and are dong great work for the
development of the state and
should be encouraged by every le-
Ultimate means. If the leaders
there who devote the major por-
ton of their time to fighting the
railroads would only do as much in
proportion to their opportunities
for the upbuildlng of the state as
the railroads are doing, there
would be much less talk of hard
times in Florida Savannah News.

Rev. ID. r. Birnie,
Rev ID. p Birnie preached 10
large congregations at Central
Union church Sunday. His sermon
on Possessions" at the 1880 ser

ment and rules for guidance in ex-
alted purposes. The new preache,

upon the congregation. His ap-
pearance is good, and his delivery
clear, smooth and forcible. He
wears the pulpit dress of the Con-
gregational church, something new
to the custom here. During the
service Sunday and Sunday evening
flowers were handsomely arranged
the pulpit. The music was ex-
cellent at both services, particularly
at evening when several special
selections were offered.
In the pulpit Rev. Mr.. Birnie is
an attractive parsonage. His ges-
lures are graceful and his voice
resonant without being harsh. His
words are we'll chosen, ideas clear

LINES BY LEO XIII ON HIS DEATH.

The setting sun at this thy close Of day
On thee, o Leo, sheds its parting ray
Within thy withercd veins, thy wasted frame,
Slow, slow burns downward life's expiring
flame.
Deaths arrow flies, the funeral veil unfolds,
The cold remains, the grave her conquest holds,
But swift the painting soul, her fettcrs riven,
Spreads her free wings and seeks her native
heaven.
The long and toilsome road has reached its
end.
Thy holy WILL my Saviour, l attend
And, IL so great grace thou canst accord,
Receive my spirit in thy Kingdom Lord

HAMAKUA, Jan. 10, 1885.
WM. g. IRWIN n CO., LTD, HONOLULU
GENTLEMEN--1he mill has been running dur.
ing the past two weeks, with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results.
Our mill consists of three sets of two roll
lers, - in dia. by - in. long, the shredder
discs being #. in. long, driven 10y an
automatic engine IL in. dia cylinder by IA
in. stroke.
The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
as IL is possible for cane to be, having been
subjected to severe drought during the
whole period of its growth, and growing on
land with trade wind exposure. Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves il to he Just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better
prepared 10 have Its juice extracted than for
merlN after passing through the first mill.
The first mill is now allowed to open 9i6 in.
iistead of = in. as formerly, 50 that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
it formerly did the second, and this without
the old timed gruaning, choking, and strain
ing of the machinery.
Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past ~ days,
as per statement attached, has averaged 35
per cent. ON the total uice from the cane
The trash from the last mill is cut up much
liner than before the ) iredder was applied,
mI ch of it resembling saw dust it contains
"a per statement 80 per cent of moisture and
hiaheS W iuei, Tue juice from IN" Htst mn
stands degrees BriX., SO that the moisture
in the trash is of . per cent. sugar solution.
The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to lie taken to keep them
from blowing OIL whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on
By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mill, and throw back the long pieces.
The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantlal jon, and should cause little or no
trouble, as it is subjected to but light strains.
You will see that by applying the Shred
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially mproved-obtaining "A
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill
Yours Respectfully,
A. MOORE.

INCOME TAX PETITIONS
Date Set for Arguing the Motion for Re-
hearing Of the Gases.
4 Full Sup. emo Bench Expected by
Nay 6, the Time Set - An Tn
usual Course for the Court.

The United States Supreme Court. through
Chief Justice Fuller, made the following
order in regard to the petitions for a re-
hearing of the income tax question::
"The consideration of the two petitions
(the income tax petitions) for rehearing is
reserved until Monday, May g. when full
bench is expected. and in that event two
counsel on a side will be heard at that
time"
Although the order does not explicitly SO
state. it means that argument will be
heard, not on the merits of the income tax
question ITSELF but on the question whether
not there shall be a rehearing of :he
suits heretofore decided. This argument,
1t is expected, will include TIE extent to
which the rehearing shall go-that is,
whether it shall be confined merely to The
point on which the court was evenly Qi-
vided, the constitutionality of the income
tax law as whole. or whether the whole
question shall be reopened and new argu-
ment made on the question of whether or
not rents are exempt from taxation, as to
which there was clear majority of The
court against this feature of the tax.
The announcement by the court is further
corroboration of reports of improvement in
the health of Justice Jackson. as 1t was
made only after assurances that unless his
case took turn for the worse he would
be able to return to his seat on the bench
by the date named in the order.
The course adopted by the court is
most unusual one, and gentlemen familiar
with its procedure for many years can
recollect but one instance in which like
action has been taken and that was in the
seventies. No authoritative statement could
be secured of the reasons for the order,
but the theory is advanced that the court
is again evenly divided. and that Justice
Jackson has been virtually made umpire
of the question of reopenirs the cases

LET THE BRUTE GO.
No One Made Charge Against an
Inkuman Father.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Mamie King died
recently. For long time the girl had been
ill, and when she died there was great
grief in the neighborhood. where all the
friends of the family gathered In the little
four-room fiat to see the last of the dead
girl Mamie's body lay in her coffin cover
ed by wealth of flowers and wreaths.
Mrs. King was explaining to the neigh
bors that her husband could not be found.
"Jimmie's been everywhere" shc sid,
land we can't find Robert anywhere. 1 am
afraid he has come to some HARM
At that moment King burst open the door
and lurched into the place. He was drunk,
and his clothes We're covered with mud.
He stared around vacantly for few min
utes looking aimlessly at the crowd. Then
he began 70 make a noise.
Cant you see, Bob?' cried his wife
Mamie is dead.
You're a liar" shouted King. "she amt
anything of the sort.
Then his temper got beyond bounds, and
King struck his wife a terrific blow in the
face knocking her across the coffin in
W hich lay the dead body of her daughter
Then he drove the guests out OF the room
with a chair and ended by knocking the
coffin down from its rest and breaking IT
all to pieces while the body OF the young
girl rolled out on the floor. Even that
sirht did not sober him, and King turned
his attention to his daughter who was alive,
hitting her in the face and Kicking her.
Mrs. King threw open the window ana
yelled for help. Policeman HaggeIty rushed
upstairs and caught King just as he was
about 10 hit his daughter Alice with the
leg of chair. King fought hard while on
the way TO the station house.
He was brought before Justice Simms in
the jefferson Market Court Neither ms
against him. and Justice Simms discharged
him with reprimand.

OIL MARKET QUIET.
Few Sales ON the Exchanges This
Morning.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 23.-The oil mar
ket opened at 2.l0 this morning, the closing
price of yesterday. 1t began to climb up
feebly and at 1870 it stood at 2.l3 bid
There were sales here and on the Oil
City exchange the transactions for the
first hour amounted to only 1000 barrels.
The Standards price for credit balances
remains unchanged at 2.10.
DANVILLE, Ky, April 23-Northern and
eastern prospectors fiocking to the
oil fields in Wayne county, fifty miles
southeast of this place, where the Standard
and other companies have already great
many leases made. Some good strikes
have been made in that region, and veteran
oil men express the opinion that the field
will shortly become of national import
ance. 1t extends southwark from Month
cello twenty-five miles to the Tennessee
line.
CHICAGO. April 23.-A good many of
the large steam plants now burning oil
will return TO coal May l. One reason is
that the price of steam coal is low. And
another r. aSon is the contracts between the
consumers and the Standard Oil Company
for the most part, expire May l. The
Standard has already notified several con.
sumerS that the contracts would not be
renewed on the present basis.
The West Chicago Street Railway Com
pany has advertised for bids for furnishing
100000 tons of coal. The company at pres
ent is using fuel oil. Mr.. Yuille, the assist
ant general manager of the road, said the
company was simply protecting itself
against rise in the price of fuel oil.
