MOUNT HoLYokE ALuMNAE.
Graduates in Honolulu Hold
Pleasant Reunion.

An exceedingly pleasant reunion
of alumnae of Mount Holyoke Col
lege was given Monday afternoon
by Mrs. C. H. Kluegel, in honor o.
her venerable mother Mrs. Persis
(Thurston) Taylor, who is one Of
the early graduates of Mary Lyon
The Hawaiian Alumnse Associ-
alton has numbered on its roll
twenty-four members, but by death
and removals it is reduced to six
teen. Ten of these reside in Homo
lulu and vicinity, only six of whom
were able to be present yesterday.
But with daughters and grand
daughters present and invited
guests, among whom were Miss
Kelsey of Smith College, and Miss
Hopper and Miss Millard of Well
esley, the gathering was represen-
tative and choice.
The business OF the meeting in
eluded the reading of several let
tiers from Miss I. F. Cowles, the
secretary Of the National Alumnae
Association of the United States,
one OF which announced that
large sum Of S15o,0O0 had been
pledged by a wealthy gentlemen of
Chicago, d. X. Pierson, as a per-
manent endowment fund, of which
the interest only should ever be
drawn, on condition that the
alumnae themselves should raise
an additional $4,000 before the
end OF 1897. Honolulu's small
branch was urged to do what was
possible by personal contributions
or by solicitation from others. The
president of the Hawaiian alumnae,
Miss Chamberlain, gave notice that
contributions would be called for at
a future meeting.
Mrs. u. T. Taylor read a very
interesting class letter received
from one of her class OF 1S45, who
had celebrated the fiftieth anni
versary of their graduation last
summer. Out of a class OF fifty
one members thirty are living, ard
nine OF these met at the old school
home this summer. Refreshments |
were served by the granddaughter

ed, and all the alumnae voted
thanks to Mrs. Kluegel for the
pleasant visit.

Planting on Nolokai.

The regular weekly session o
the Board of Heslth was held Wed
day afternoon. There being
present, President Smith, DR.. EN-.
erson, Dr.. Day, 7. F. Lansing, D.
Keliipio, J. T. Waterhouse, DR.,
Wood. DR.. W. T. Monsarrat, c. B,
Reynolds, DR.. Myers, Dr.. Wayson
and DR.. Howard.
In response to question put by
the president, DR.. Monsarrat said
that there was no more than the
usual amount of sickness among
the hogs. In the recent wet
weather some had died from lung
disease. Quite a number had died
ar Palama and other outskirts OF
the city,
The president suggested that Dr..
Monssrrat attend to cases where
damage 10 meat or cruelty to ami
mails was suspected.
The president thought that a
better system Of garbage removal
should be instituted; at present
there were many defects. Better
work could be done if the whole
thing were put under the active
control Of the Board OF Health.
The expense would be no greater
than at the present time.
In regard to tree planting on
Molokai, the president said that
Mr.. Marsden had suggested the
erection of a shed or building for
the protection of the young plants. |
No progress can be made until
protection is assured. The presi-
dent said that lumber had already
gone TO Molokai for the building. |
1t was suggested by DR.. Emer-
son that a list OF burials outside
the regular burying ground be fur
nished the Board. The president
spoke Of DR.. Wayson as a person
who could collect such information
while out on his rounds.
The fish report from January
18th to 10Th showed 30,925 fish |
received at the fishmarket. Only
two stalls were used at that time.
A letter from J. F. Colburn ask
ed for permission TO sell fish on
MaunSkes street.
The idea did not meet the favor
OF the Board. 1t would lead to the
establishment OF markets all over
the city.
DR.. Emerson thought that peo-
pie should be allowed to sell fish st
different places in the city, such as
on Maunakea street.
I. F. Lansing said that the es-
tablishment Of one market, such as
asked for on Manuakea street,
would lead to establishment of
others in the vicinity.
Action upon Mr.. Colbur4's re-
quest was deferred.
4 letter from Mr.. Myers OF the
Molokai leper settlement endorsed
the suggestion Of paying premiums
to successful tree planters.
The Board then went into execu-
tive session for q consideration OF
reports and matters relating to the
Leper Receiving Station at Kalihi.

Coffee-,irowing In Mexico.

Ex-Governor Thomas Crittenden, con-
sui general to Mexico, has sent to the
state department full report on the
coffee industry Ia that country.
The report has been complied with
great care to show the methods and
cost Of going into the business Of coffee
growing there.
A plantation will pay from 100 to 300
per cent. in many cases on the capital
invested. Each tree yields annually
from three to ten pounds, and the value
Of the plantations Is calculated at the
rate of sl.00 per tree, q single acre Of
land producing as many as 800 trees.
While Mr.. Crittenden says that he
never saw coffee growing till he was
sent to Mexico in 1893, he says that he
has taken pains to be accurate in his
statements as 70 the cost OF growing,
the value and character Of the different
varieties and the portions Of the coun-
try 10 which each IL adapted. All
these are fully set forth in his report.
At the close he states: ''As a rule
would not recommend anybody 10 uu.
dertake coffee raising in Mexico with
out sufficient capital to pay for $50
acres Of land, cash in hand, and have
at least $1,000 in Mexican currency TO
meet the first years expenses"
The report shows that the cost OF
land is about $50 an acre, making q
capital Of 1880 for land, and sl2, 50C
in all, the amount desirable TO start
into business.

A Report Worth Thought.

The monetary commission OF 1875
was appointed by Congress to investi-
gate the cause OF hard times. Their
report was made on March 2. 1877. 1t
contained these significant words:
"The true and only cause Of stagna-
ton in industries aud commerce now
everywhere felt, is the fact everywhere
existing of falling prices, caused by
shrinking in the volume Of money.
Failing prices, misery and desti-
tuition are inseparable companions. 1t
Is universally conceded that falling
prices result from the contraction Of
the money volume.
"A shrinkage in the volume Of cur
rency has caused more misery than war,
famine and pestilence, and more injus-
tice than all the bad laws ever made.

THE nomination Of Hon. Frank Steu-

us certain of the cleanest campaign
ever made in the State.
Mr.. Steunenberg himself is above

days election by $1,000. There should
be no surprise at this. The Demo-
Gratis abandoned the State early in the
campaign.
Prior to the Chicago Convention the
Democrats put up gold State ticket
on gold platform; after they heard
from Chicago, they snapped horses in
the middle Of the stream and put up a
silver man on silver platform. This
action paralyzed the party and nothing
more was done. The Republicans food
ed the State with their best speakers
and canvassed every precinct, and the
result, under all the circumstances,
could not have been otherwise than a
victory for the active party.

For PRESIDENT:
WILLIAM ]. BRYAN, Of Nebraska.
Idaho,s Complex Politics.

The complex condition of Idaho pol
itics is sumner to the oldest men in
the parties. Where are we att" is
cry heard echoing in ali the camps.
The actual results in the number of
votes OF the November election are as
uncertain as the morrow's winds.
The conditions in politics this year
are anomalous; they are as they have
never been before, and this fact will
account for the uncertainty which |
places the voters in state OF anxiety |
and unrest. THE News is not prepared
TO forecast the happenings or changes
that may take place in the seven re-
manning weeks of the campaign, but
they will be many: about this there
can be no question.
The fusions agreed upon and those
which may hereafter be made, are re
sponsible for the doubts and uncertain
ties that rise like fogs from the marshes
and obscure the beaten pathways. Flu
sions weaken the confidence which par
ty men have one in another. They Gre
ate suspicious; they awaken mistrust
and doubts, and as rule make victo-
ries uncertain.
After the great battle OF Chicka-
manga, General Bragg, commander OF
the Confederate forces, undertook TO
reorganize his decimated regiments by
doubling them up, throwing them to-
gether, reducing the number and max
ing those remaining of full compile
ment of rank and file. In this new or
der of things he put troops of different
States in the same regiment-North
Carolinians with Texans, Georgians
with Tennesseans, Kentuckians with
Floridians, and so on. In this assign
ment companies were strange to each
other, a color company knew nothing
of its support on its right or its left
and it grew unsteady. The battle o.
Missionary Ridge followed early upor
this reorganization and history know:
the result of that battle. Confederate
HhO AetA AohShg ItAJOACb w OAON vi
many hard fought field, fed befor

They doubted their support; they mis-
trusted the men on their right an
their left, and many Of them broke an
ran before firing gun. 1t is known
all who were in the battle that Bragg
defeat at Missionary Ridge was Target
due to the fusion of forces that ha
not been accustomed to fight side b
side.
The political situation in Idah
brings to the mind of The NEWS thi
bit of Confederate history. We hay
put new men together and are sti
keeping up the work Of reorganizatio
in the counties. To win we must fir,
of all establish confidence one in th
other; wemust keep faith in the pledge
made and be true to ourselves and OIL
obligations. Honesty in politics as
other thing is the best policy.
