A DAY IN BED.
In Experiment. That Few Healthy People
Have limo or Disposition to Try.


Have limo or Disposition to Try.
One often hears somebody say with
slee that he is going to take u day off
sr u day in the country or day OH the
river, hut seldom if ever that he is GO
ing to take u day in bed, and yet day
so spent when one really needs day of
Is one which deserves rod letter record
i'll his history, according to writer in
the Pittsburg Times. Ono lies late of
Sunday mornings and tells what lux
ury it is not to have to get up at the
usual hour, but one never knows the
glory of such u thing till he spends q
whole day i'll bed. To enjoy it one must
not be sick nor pretend to be. He must
be in fairly good health and free from
trouble or worry of any sort Then he
is entirely himself, and it is the only
place in which he can be.
AS soon rs he dresses he comes under
restraint, not merely physical, but
mental, for no one can wholly escape
the influence of his clothes, whether
they be good or bad, in fashion or ont.
For ages character has been identified
with clothes aud will be for ages, in
spite of all that has been or will be said
against it. One may not always be con-
scious Of the influence, but it exists all
the same. Not trace of it is felt when
one is in bed. There he is free. He can
twist and roll and kick and throw his
arms about as he will. If he should do
the like elsewhere, there would be sus-
picion of his sanity. A day in bed is
not day of rest merely, but of liberty.
He has the infinite for his own.
Not few of Pope's best lines came to
him while in bed. Thomson composed
his finest description of natural scenery
while i'll bed. A like thing doubtless
may be said of the humorists. There is
little doubt that the liveliest jokes cur
rent were thought out while their au
thors were in bed. The blood flows free
ly then, digestion does its perfect work,
the mind is relieved of the care of the
body, the imagination and fancy roam
the earth and skies and gather of their
treasures, the inscriptions on the tablets
of memory come out, and incident and
adventure recur in light of their own,
suggesting new ideas and relations. Ono
never knows what life is till he has
spent day in bed, in full or fair health,
without thought save those which
come smiling to him in his rest.

HAS HIS REPORT READY TRUST STRIKES BACK Sentiment IN STATES SHIPPING AND SUGAR
GOES INTO THE COFFEE BUSINESS
TO MEET THE ARBUcKLES.
Purchases Large Mills Reduction An
nounced at Once-A Bitter Fight n
Prospect-Facts and Figures

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 1S.--The Ameri-
can Sugar Refinery, better known as
the sugar trust, has closed deal for
100 shares of the Woolson Spice Com
pany of this city, being eleven eight
eenths of its total stock. The price to
be pail is $l,265,ooO.
Some time ago the Arbuckles, the
coffee kings" branched out into the
sugar business. a large refinery was
built in New York, and thereby the
Arbuckles became the competitors of
the American Refining Company. The
latter was not at all pleased at what
it considered an intrusion. At first
the refining company offered to buy
out the Arbuckle plant, so the story
goes, but the latter refused. Then
the refining company concluded to
flank the movement of the Arbuckles,
and hence this deal
Representatives of the refining COM
pany opened negotiations with the
! Woolson people, who are a very close
second to the Arbuckles in the coffee
business, and Lawrence Newman, one
of the largest shareholders of the
Woolson Spice Company went to New
York to confer with the refining COM
pany. He is there now, and has prac-
tically closed the deal.
At present the Arbuckles control
one-tifth of the roasted coffee trade
in the United States, the product of
their mills aggregating 100000 bags
a year. The Woolson mills have a ca
pacity of 100000 bags a year, but it is
said chat their plant will soon be adj
ded to, so that they can put on the
market 100000 bags of roasted coffee
annually.
Arbucliles have followed the lead of
Woolson Mills in announcing a reduc-
ton of half cent a pound.

c. S. DESKY FINDS IT Is IN FAVOR
OF ANNEXATION.
Many Enthusiasts-Ha Should
Advertise-Cuban Issue Paramount
business Outlook.

Mr.. c. S. Desky, of Bruce Waring &
Company, accompanied by Mrs. DeslIy,
returned to Honolulu yesterday by the
China from three months tour
abroad. They have received the sym
patFies of their many Honolulu az
quaintances over the loss of their son
in Germany. For the present Mr.. and
Mrs. Deslly are stopping at the Ha-
wailian Hotel.
While he was travelling in the States
Mr.. Deslly took occasion to inquire in
to the sentiment of the American peO-
pie on the question of anneXing Ha-
waii to the United States. He found
everyone to be heartily in favor of
the absorption of the islands by the
great Republic. All who have given
the matter any thought are enthus-
iastic anneXationists.
Mr.. Desky is of the opinion that the
best thing that Hawaii could do for
| itself would be to advertise. He says
that it is surprising the number of
people that one meets who are uncer-
tain whether the Hawaiian Islands are
in the Atlantic or the Pacific ocean.
"The paramount topic of discussion
throughout the States just now is the
Cuban issue" says Mr.. Deslky. "The
sympathy of everyone seems to be
with Cuba and against Spain. Compa-
nies for the relief of Spain's foe are
being organized in all the larger cities
i'm America and financial assistance in
being freely given. 1t begins to look
as if Uncle Sam might have 2 round
with Spain herself. Congress is de-
termined apparently to force its posi-
tion on this great question at once,
despite the Presidents protests.
Business is very poor all through
out the States, now," continued Mr..
Desky. However, the prospects are
brighter and everybody looks for bet
ter times and great things with the
Inauguration of the new administra-
ton"
Mr. Desky has travelled 10000 miles.

MINISTER COOPER WILL MAKE
RETURN TO THE PRESIDENT.
Ten Thousand Miles of Travel--Eu-
joyed All of It-Salute and Serenade
Some People He Met.

The return of Minister Henry L.
Cooper from abroad on the China yes
terday was made known by salute
of guns near the dock of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company shortly after
IL o'clock on Christmas Day. The Min
lister was accompanied by his private
secretary, Mr.. b. l.. Marx.
This morning the Government band
gave Minister Cooper welcome home
serenade at his residence on King
street. \ program consisting of eight
pieces was given. The Minister ar
rived at the Executive building short
ly before 10 o'clock and was greeted
by the President and members of the
Cabinet
Mr.. Cooper has nothing whatever 10
say to the public concerning his visit
abroad except in social way. He
says that matters pertaining to Ha-
waii which he dealt with while abroad
were of diplomatic nature.
At Boston, his old home, Minister
Cooper was the guest of the municipal
officials. While in Washington he met
President Cleveland and Cecretary Oh
ney and many other high dignitaries.
President-elect Mckinley received hin
very cordially at his home in Canton.
He was made the guest of honor at
many dinner parties and on the whole
had most delightful time.
81 am feeling in the best of health"
said he this morning. "We Travelled
10000 miles and 1 enjoyed them all.
The report of my trip abroad is ready
and will be submitted to President
Dole on Monday"
