A General Acknowledgement
That the Change is a Desirable
One

It has besn a custom as old as Wheel

ameLJ property expire April first Of
eacn year. This 5 a prevailing usage
throughout a great part Of the country
in the city and village as well as the
country places, and in connection with
all classes of so-calIed tenement prop
erty and while not so ancient a GUS
tom in respect TO store and office prop
erty, yet it is largely followed in these
classes Of property.
1t would seem that the custom was
borrowed by ancestry in this country
years ago from England, where It is
still followed, and in a good many of
the oyner European coun .r.es it re-
mains in fore. Ii is sad also that
Americans doing bu mess in the far
EASTERN countries have fer some time
made April the first the designated day
OF surrendering or taking UP new
leases Of properly occupied by them for
busin5 SIS and home purposes.
Ii is such an Old custom that it has

aration of guava jelly. Guavas grow
abundantly throughout the Islands.
Olive trees grow luxuriously, but,
strange to say, they bear no olives.
There is probably some popularity in
the soil which is unfavorable to the
fruiting of the olive tree.
"As to the woods of the islands,"
1--WE have no forests which yield
lumber Hence we are Obliged TO i'm
port all lumber for building purposes.
But the forests of the Islands yield
various woods of great value for cabi-
net work. The chief OF these are the
koa tree, a beautiful light red wood,
and the ohia, which is reddish white
and exceedingly hard. The ohia is
used extensively for railroad ties. and is
excellent for the purpose, although q
little hard to work"
"You have no minerals"
Unfortunately, no. The mountains
of the Islands have been thoroughly

The soil of the Islands is thoroughly
impregnated with volcanic iron, but
no beds of ore have ever been found
But we have a wonderful country OF
vast possibilities. The Hawaiian ISL
ands can readily support population
of 100000. The last census showed
a population of 10000. The climate
is perfect; the soil fertile. American
settlers of energy, good character and
money enough to establish themselves
are always welcome; and those who
once make their home at Hawaii are
not easily induced to leave"

polished and fluent orator. He pre-
SCENTS clearly, forcibly and picturesquely,
ideas which are clear, forcible and

logical. His theology is radically OPP
posed to the gentle and vague theories
of some preachers, while it is equally
antagonistic to the semi-atheistic
thought of the so-ealled advanced
critics. He has in larger measure than

can TO Enter u Rraziiian Port.
SpscialC Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
Frankfurd, Dec. 11.-Capt. Robert
W. Dasey has received letter from his
son, Capt. Ward W. Dasey, stating that
the latter has Just made successful
voyage on his bark Marion s. Harris.
from New York to the head Of Paragua
bay, in Brazil, with cargo of oil.
The voyage was notable from the fact
that no other American vessel ever
entered the Brazilian port, and also
because it was the wedding trip OF
the master of the Harris. Capt. Ward
Dasey and Miss Edith N. White OF
Frankfort were married Just before the
boat was ready to sail and Immediately
after the ceremony they embarked on
their wedding trip.
The letter received from the young
captain was decidedly interesting. All
on board the ship were reported well
and the voyage was SUCCESS in every
particular.
In speaking of game in Brazil, the
letter stated that the ducks were so
tame that they could be killed with
oars. 1t was almost useless to shoot at
them. as the sound of the guns had no
effect and they could be killed much
easier.
Tropical fruits we're found in abund-
ance and the climate is exceedingly
healthful.

The new steam pilotboat for the
Pilots Association of the Bay and
River Delaware is already in course of
construction, and when completed will
be the finest OF its kind ever built,
says the Evening Telegraph. Every
attention will be paid to the details Of
convenience. durability, utility and
speed. She will not only be designed
to be used to supply pilots, but is also
to be able to assist crafts that may run
aground or suffer other mishaps. Her
speed is to be 10 statute miles per
hour. When she goes into service two
of the present saiboars will work in
conjunction with her. 1t was the in
tention to have four of the present
eight sailboats in the service, but
there are now only three, one, the J.
Henry Edmunds, being withdrawn be-
cause the new association would not
pay the figure the owners asked for
her.
The new pilotboat is to he con-

appearance in more pleasing form than
ever before, having scattered through
its daily leaves many charming illus
trations. with an appropriate thought
or verse for each day in the year. The
1897 calendar contains a unique ar
rangement Of dates that will prove very
helpful and convenient to busy men,
and plenty of space is allowed fol
memoranda, 80 that the block may be
used as diary. or in any event will
become storehouse of the many little
things one desires to bs reminded OF
day by day. One feature of the calen.
dar is its neat stand so arranged that

A BREAK IN THE RASKs.


u. A. NJ, in Dover.
ecalCorresDOnuenceo t tlzette ana journal
Dover, Dec. 1.-THE friction which
has existed in Caesar Rodney Council,
Jr. o. U. A. NJ, reached a climax at
the meeting last night, when four
withdrawal cards were granted and
three applications for Withdrawals we're
received. A new council is to be
organized next week and Ii is alto
gether likely that those who have
withdrawn or expressed their intention
of withdrawing from the old council
will form nucleus for the new one.
1t is probable that 20 members will
leave the old council.
The trouble Ia said to have arisen
from two causes. Some of the mem
bers who are strictly temperate have
openly expressed their disapproval Of
admitting any who drink, no matter
how moderate, while others saw no
means of drawing the line. This
naturally set some of the radical tenn
perance men to thinking, and two or
three did not hesitate to "talk out in
meetin'." AS CONSEQUENCE some of
their fellow members became offended,
and fractional lines were soon apparent.
The breach widened. and the new
council will be the result.
The secondary cause for the trouble
is said to be the fact that some of the
members attend the meetings not quite
30 well dressed as others Some who
are identified with the latter element
make this assertion, at least Remarks
of this character were heard in front
of the hall after the meeting last night.
The council has about GO members
and those who are satisfied with the
organization as ii is now run see nc
need for another, and there is much
speculation as to whether two can
exist here.
