Times obituary of the Duly
Bulletin is rather misleading.
1t was not want of popularity
that killed it, for the only land
slide Of patronage which ever
struck it soon spent it's force.
The whole trouble was that
not half the capital stock was
issued until lately, and the
concern was partly bought in
1890, with borrowed capital, run
for more than a month after
the company got it with bor-
rowed money, and equipped
with $4,000 worth of new plant
in 1892 bought wholly on Gre
dit. A large proportion Of
these debts were paid out Of
ordinary revenue in two pros,
porous years, preventing the
accumulation Of any surplus
to tide over the depressed
times and a political boycott
that Immediately succeeded the
revolution of 1898. A too ex.
pensive building and depres
sion in the job printing depart
ment were additional causes Of
the fate that overlook the
old Bulletin.

Legislature will meet on the
18th of June. The most i'm
portant question which will be
treated by the august body of
super wise men is the new
land law. 1t is the intention
of the government to open up
to settlers the vast lands now
owned by the government and
it is proposed to dispose of
them on the very easiest and
best terms. The lands which
especially will be offered are of
different natures and suitable
for different purposes. Grazing
and coffee lands, sugar and
fruit lands and lots suitable for
the small farmer or for resi-
dence only will. be placed in
market. If the government
succeeds in establishing a land
boom under the suggested
term, it will be entitled to
great credit and a great step
will have been taken in the
line of solving the present
question of hard times" now
staring the whole community
in the face.
But whether the lands to be
offered are to be used for the
cultivation of coffee or the
promotion of guava jelly, one
fact remains; it is necessary for
the prospective settler to pur-
chase an Aermotor and secure
sufficient water for his
premises.
We offer the very best and
most improved style of Aer-
motors. The numerous patrons
who have tried our Aermotors
speak in the highest terms Of
the results We have recently
placed an Aermotor of the
latest pattern at Lunalilo Home
and w. 0. Smith, who gave
us the order, has only praise;
for it.
Since we are talking "land'
we may as well remind eventua
settlers, that we sell the )OneS'

is used on all ranches of any
importance, and we receive
daily orders for more of them

REMARKABLY GAME
OF BASEBALL ON
THE LEAGUE
GROUND.
Kamehamehas Give I'm
knowns a Great
Drubbing.

Anybody who expected good
game of ball on Saturday, be-
tween the Kamehameha and the
Unknown mines had to pocket a
disappointment. Yet In the mat
ter of mere amusement the game
was bulging with success. 1t was
indeed a game that looked beau
tiful on the scoring board up to
the sixth inning, prior to which
the Unknowns were in the lead
with three to one. 1t looked as If
the score could be kept down to
about that, but then the Kane
hamehas woke up like giants.
They slugged the ball all over the
field, sometimes giving it Il pre-
liminary foul clout or two over
the grand stand. They won a
lead Of one in he sixth and, while
keeping the Unknowns from
making any more they piled up
seven more in the next two
innings. They made eleven hits
and eleven runs. The players
were as>follows:

yelled in subdued fashion. j.

many addressed identical letters
to Japan, requiring certain
notifications in the conditions
Of the treaty of peace to be
signed between the latter
power and China. The demand
was made that the letters
should be answered by May z,
the day before the date fixed
for the final ratification of the
proposed treaty. Russia, back
ed by the two other powers,
objects to Japanese occupation
of any of the mainland Of
China. What answer the Jap
anese government will make is
of course unknown, but it is
probable that it will take the
form of notifying the protest
ing powers that Japan occupies
the places referred to as a
guarantee of peace, as we'll as
of the fulflment of other con-
ditions of the treaty, and that
the final settlement of the
question is one which is pecu-
liarly the province of Japan
and China between themselves.
The chief significance of the
whole incident is the fact
cabled that all officers and men
of the Russian navy in Japan
ese waters have had their
leaves of absence cancelled,
and the ships are held await
ing orders. This would indi-
cate that serious measures may
be taken by Russia in the
event of Japan's positive re-
fusal to permit interference
between her and China. But
as there is not a consensus Of
opinion and action between the
whole of the great powers-it

Written for the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.l
WOMEN IN FINANCE.
1t is said that at least one chapter of
the forthcoming report to congress of
the comptroller of the currency will
prove interesting reading to those who
believe that women are not possessed of
and cannot acquire any ideas concern
ing financial affairs.
The chapter relates to women's inter
ests and activities in the world of fin
ance It will show that there are sew
eral very able women bank presidents
in this country, a large number of wo-
men directors in financial institutions,
and a very large number employed in
subordinate positions in such institu-
lions. The west, naturally, makes the
best showing in this respect. Several Of
the western national banks have women
presidents, and many of them employ
women in positions of great responsible
ity. All over the country are banking
houses that number women upon their
board of directors. According to the
comptroller's last report, 967 women
were employed in national and state
banks, but since that time the number
has been greatly Increased. And in
addition to this testimonial to the abi1-
ity of women there is a tribute to their
integrity. The report will prove that
in whatever places of trust women
have thus far been employed, they have
shown themselves particularly saga
cious. and altogether discreet and
trustworthy. They are proof against
most of the temptations that assail
men when in charge of other peoples
money, and they have proved them
selves to be conscientious and faithful.
These statements will be found in an
official report, a document of much
weight and significance. They prove
that a goodly number of women, at
least, are strong where the mass of
them are supposed to be weak. Are
