HAWAII, THE PEARL OF THE
PACIFIC"
The Third Of a Series Of Letters by
John R. MuSiCk.
Sans soucf and the Government Build

Verne and Robert Louis steven

(Copyright, 1896, by Funk & Wagnalls Conn.,
pany, New York;
The most celebrated hotel and bath
place in the islands is Sans Souci,
which is near the famous Diamond
Head. Sans Souci has had for its guests
some of the most famous literary men
of the age. Mark Twain spent a good
deal of his time while on the islands at
this place. Jules Verne and Robert
Louis Stevenson made it their home.
The latter, in writing of this cool re-
treat, said:
IF anyone desires such old-fashioned
things as lovely scenery, quiet, pure air,
clear sea water, good food and heavenly
sunsets hung out before his eyes every
evening over the Pacific and the distant
hills of Wlaianae, recommend him
cordially to the Sans Souci''
/ found several gentlemen at Sans
Souci who had very vivid recollections
of Stevenson. He is described by all as
a small man, weighing. perhaps, less
than one hundred pounds, and an in
veterate cigarette smoker. 1t is barely
possible that nicotine poison hastened
the end Of this strange, mysterious,
gifted man.
He smoked from morning until
night" said the manager of the hotel.
Il am certain he would consume sixty
cigarettes a day. He was very pleasant,
unless irritated, and then he was like a
madman. Those who disturbed him
while writing or meditating were sure
to hear from him.
Mr.. Timmons, city editor of the ''Ha-
vvaiia1 Star - said.
Il met Mr.. Stevenson while he was
here, and was very strangely impressed
by him from the first. I learned that he
was at Sans Souci, and went to call
upon him. Reaching the quiet place, I
crossed the lama and entered the house
proper. No one was in sight but a
small, ordinary man, who sat
at a table writing.
:" Where is the landlord?' I asked.
"'TIe is out answered the small man,
and he went on with his writing.
/" Wen, perhaps you can answer my
question: 1 came to see Mr.. Stevenson.
The small man dropped his pen,
arose, and, extending his hand, said:
. I am Mr.. Stevenson
This was my introduction to this re-
markable man."
Then Mr. Timnons told me how Mr..
Stevenson came to write his famous
novel "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde

Like most Cinnamon he had wife and
children in China and one in this coun-
try, this, he explained, as a matter of
economy 1t was much easier to sup
port a family in each country than to
be constantly transporting a family
from one land to the other. The aver
age Chinaman remains in this coun-
try from three to seven years, and then
goes back to China, to spend an equal
length of time there, and again return.
The next day in company with Mr..
Timmons / visited the Government
building proper. 1t is a large building.
two stories in hight, with lofty ceilings
and a broad stairway There is a large
hall below, ornamented with handsome
life-size portraits of Kamehameha /.
and his wife, Kamehameha IL, Ill,
and ", and their wives, and Kane
hameha v These comprise all the
Kamehameha dynasty, the first rulers
of the nation. The upper hall is decora-
ted with fine portraits in oil, most of
them life-size. There is a fine portrait
of Queen Emma, the granddaughter of
John Young, the mate of an American
ship, who was the trusted adviser and
general of Kamehameha l. There is 81
full life-size portrait of King David
Kalakaua, one of ex-Queen Liliuo-
kalani, or Mrs. Dominus as she is now
called, and her deceased husband, John
0. Dominus. There is also a fine life
size portrait in oil of Admiral Farragut,
who was very much admired by King
Kalakaua. Legislative halls, committee
rooms, and council chambers, with the
various rooms of the cabinets, are in this
building. The building before the rev.
olution which overthrew monarchy, was
known as the Palace, and is even yet so
called by some, though monarchy is
rapidly passing away, and the spunky
little republic is every day becoming
more firmly seated in the saddle.
The Government buildings and all the
departments are guarded by soldiers.
The standing army, composed exclu-
sively Of white mems numbers about 200
regular soldiers. The National Guard
and the Citizens Guard swell this num-
Der to about 1000 fighting men. They
have two Gatling guns, two Hotchkiss
rapid firing guns, two brass six-pound-
ers, and some iron field pieces. Their
force is sufficient to protect the island
from internal troubles and from fill
busters.
Their greatest dread is of Japan The
/
tory over China, have given utterance
to some portentous threats against the
Hawaiian Islands for discriminating
against them. With a fleet of gunboats,
few heavy guns, and two or three war
ships the Hawaiians could easily de-
| fend themselves against the Japanese.
Their harbors are in excellent condition
for fortification. Pearl Harbor and the
harbor of Honolulu have promontories,
such as Koko Head and Diamond Head,
which, if fortified, would be impreg-
nable barriers against warships.

ECCLESIASTICAL ROME.
An Always Present Power that Gives
the City It's Importance.

the City It's Importance.
"Ecclesiastic'' Rome is the strong
hold of a most tremendous fact, from
whatever point of view Christianity
may be considered. If one could. in
Imagination, detach the head of the Ca
tholic Church from the church, one
would be obliged to admit that no single
living man possesses the far-reaching
and lasting power which in each sue
ceeding Papal reign belongs to the Pope.
Behind the Pope stands the fact which
confers, maintains and extends that
power from century to century-a
power which is one of the hugest ele-
ments of the worlds moral activity,
both in it's own direct action and in
ccunteraction and antagonism which it
calls forth continually.
1t is the aIl-pervading presence of this
greatest fact, literally, in Christendom
which has carried on Rome's import
ance from the days of the Cesars, across
the chasm of the dark ages, to the days
of the modern Popes; and it is this
really enormous Importance which con-
tinually throws forward into cruel re-
lief the puerilities and inanities of the
daily outward world 1t is the con-
sciousness of that Importance which
makes old Roman society what it is,
with its virtues, it's vices, its prejudices,
and it's strange, old-fashioned, close
fisted kindliness; which makes the con-
trast between the Saturnalia of Shrove
Tuesday night and the cross signed
with ashes upon the forehead on Ash
Wednesday morning, between the care
less laughter of the Roman beauty in
carnival, and the tragic earnestness of
the same face when the great lady
kneels in Lent before the confessional
to receive upon her bent head the light
touch of the penitentiary's wand, taking
her turn, perhaps, with a score of
women of the people. 1t is the knowl-
edge of an always present power, active
throughout the whole world, which
throws deep, straight shadows, as it
were, through the Roman character,
just as in certain ancient families
there is a secret that makes grave the
lives of those who know it.-Marion
Crawford, in the Century.

RETURN OF THE GOVERNOR.
Two Important Matters to BE Con-
sidered This Week.

hiuereu THIS Wetks
Atlanta, Ga, July 4-Gov. Atkinson and
his military stan returned from the Rich
mond reunion last night The governor
had very pleasant time OF It, he said,
and was greatly impressed by the demon
stration made by the army Of old confed-
crate veterans.
Next week Gov. Atkinson will hear the
plea Of the women's Christian Temper
ance Union and Kings Daughters for the
pardon or Communication Of sentence of
Mrs. Mobiles. the Twiggs county murder
ess, who has been resentenced to hang by
Judge Smith. Mrs. Thomas OF Macon Is
the president of the Kings Daughters
and viii come 10 Atlanta to present pc
tition from that order. Mrs. NJ. L. Nc
Tendon and others OF Atlanta will repre-
Union. II is understood that a petition
from women aggregating 100000, viii be
presented to the governor, asking that
Mrs. Mobiles be saved from the scanold.
The governor will also take up the trouble
with penitentiary company No. l over
the collection of the ST. 500 fine for cruelty
10 conVicts at Coal City. The company
does not want to pay the fine, but would
like TO see the lease vacated. Under the
law the governor cannot hold the bonds
men liable for this particular fine and he
will have to work scheme to collect ii
without forfeitng the lease. This, Il is
understood, Gov. Atkinson proposes to do
by ordering the Coal City camp broken up
and removed. The bondsmen would be
liable in case of a refusal to obey this
order, and as II would cost a great deal
more to move the camp than to pay the
fine, the governor thinks the money would
be forthcoming regardless of the disn-
clination of the company and its insol-

BOW OF HE REPUBLICANS.
THE BUCK AND LOVE FACTIONS
STILL At OUTS.

Zach side MarshalIinE Its Forces to
Control the state Convention-The
AdvfsabiIIty Of Putting out a state

johnson the Favorite Candidate
for the GOvernorship.
Atlanta. Ca, July 4-The republicans
have a lively row in prospect over tae
advisability Of putting out a state ticket
IN Georgia. The grand old party IS sp'i,
wide open and the two factions, IT is
said, are already lining up FOR the fight
over the control OF the state convention.
AZ one is to be held. At the last state
convention. when the delegates were
elected 10 the St Louis convention there
was a most confused state OF things. AZ
ter the Buck or Mckinley ticket had been
rushed through. the convention went 10
pieces. II was Immediately reorganizedi
with E. X. Love OF Savannah as chair
man, and another set Of delegates elected
This was the set that was turned down
at St. Louis. The Love convention, how
ever proceeded 10 elect new state COM
mittee and adopt a platform, which the
Buck convention neglected 10 do on this
account the anti-Buck crowd claim to
have the regular party machinery, Rev
Love being chairman OF the state COM
mittee. on the other hand, Col. Bnck
claims that his convention reelected him
chairman Of the state committee and en-
covered him to appoint the members Of
this body. He declares he holds the reins
and will continue TO do the driving as in
the past.
Speaking OF the situation to-day. he
said IL was his intention 10 appoint the
members of his state executive commit
tee early next week and call them to-
ge.her to consult over the ACCESSIBILITY
OF putting out a state ticket
Il cannot, OF course. tell what the
committee viii do" he said, but II Is
probable that the sentiment Will be In
favor Of a full state ticket.
II the republicans do put a state ticket
in the field il is said that Hon. Tomlin-
son Johnson Of Savannah viii be the can
ddate for governor. While Col. Buck
talks confidently of his position as chair
man OF the state committee, the Love
faction declares that he shall not usurp
that position and continue to ride the
grand old party horse without authority.
1t is the announced determination Of
this faction, the local leaders say, to Is
sue a call for a state convention to be
held at the same time as the convention
TO be called by Boss Buck, and them
when the convention assemblies. the fight
on the easy boss" will be preclpitated.
