The late Baron Hirsch's life was con-
trolled by two desires that seemed equal
ly to determine his whole career. The
one was to uplift and help the whole
Jewish race. How many millions he
spent in furthering this cause can never
be known. The other was to establish
himself in European society. On this
he spent untold millions.
Although he was occasionally guest
of the Prince Of Wales, was friend
Of the crown prince of Austria, was
intimate with Prince Henry Of Orleans
nevertheless, aside from some such i'm
portant exceptions, Baron Hirsch never
penetrated beyond the outer circle of
that exclusive social set, where birth,
not wealth, is mainly the medium of
| exchange.
An anecdote is told of the multimil-
lionaire, illustrating this mania for So
cial recognition. At one time his name
| was presented that he might become q
member Of the Jockey club, the most
aristocratic club in Paris. He had set
his heart on being admitted. Two
princes were his sponsors. Nevertheless
he was blackballed.
For this humiliation he planned re-
taliation. Quietly buying the house oc-
cupied by the club, which was one Of
the finest buildings in Paris, he gave
legal notice that when it's lease expired
the club must seek new quarters. Al
most Immediately an intimation was
given that if he would permit the club
to remain, his election would be Sc
cured
ELECT So-and-so," he answered,
naming prominent Jew who had been
recently blackballed in the club only Oh
account Of his race, land you shall keep
your house. You shall make PREPARATION
to my race for this slight-not to me. -"

"Eddioashin" at Shields, 1870.

1t was in the midst of war, tumult
and riot that the first free school was
founded, at the instance Of few en-
lightened citizens of Shields, who
thought this a better way of celebrating
King Georges jubilee than by spending
the money collected for that purpose in
fireworks. But "eddicashin" was in
those days looked upon by many as a
thing not to be 'countenanced in any de-
gree whatever. AS Shields shipowner
Indignantly exclaimed: "Eddicashin!
Eddicashin! Noa! Well syun hev nee
sarvints" Another weighty argument
against education, especially in place
like Shields. whose seafaring inhabit-
ants at that time had more risks to en-
counter than they were subjected to by
the elements, was:
For mickle waste he counteth it would be
To stock head with bookish wares at all,
Only to be knocked off by ruthless cannon ball.
The Royal Jubilee school was opened
in 1911, but, owing to the almost uni
versal objecting to educating the mass
es, the learning which the trustees thus
freely offered was so hedged in by re-
strictions that it was very poor plant,
indeed. Spelling, the Bible and Watts
Hymns" were about the only things
taught, for the trustees, as the only
means Of surrounding opposition, avail
ed themselves literally of good King
Georges desire that every poor child in
the kingdom should be able to read his

Amsterdam, n. Y, Democrat.)
Last Thursday the publisher of the
Democrat was informed that some
body wanted him at the phone. Putt
ing the receiver to his ear he heard
the words:
"Do you recognize my voice.
well, hardly" was the reply, "who
is it?"
"Why, it's Mason, of Hawaii"
"You don't say so. Glad to see you,
or rather hear you. How are you,
Mason, anyway? And is cable com
municaton already established, SO
that you are now talking to me from
Olaa, Hilo or Honolulu" a laugh came
back in company with the words: 80
I'm in Buffalo"
And then after little more chat, in
the course of which Mr.. Mason agreed
to make Amsterdam a visit, good
bye was passed back and forth.

thus save the trouble of stepping into

Each of the principal islands is tray
ersed by wires and no extra charge is
made for connection with any part OF
it. For the monthly tariff of four dol
lars Mr.. Mason talks to his friends a
hundred miles away. Upon reaching
this country he naturally expected to
find even better telephone facilities
at his disposal for very moderate
charge.
"And how much do you suppose
had to pay for talking with you four
minutes from Buffalo the other day."
he asked, after arriving in Amsterdam.
"Oh, l should say about dollar"
was the reply.
"A dollar! We used the phone four
minutes and they charged me four dol
lars-a dollar a minute. That's pay
ing at the rate of $50 an hour for the
pleasure of conversing with you. | told

A friend who hailed recently from
Cairo told me this tale, as an illustra-
ton of the dilatory ways of Arabian
trades people,
"A certain gentleman ordered a
swing to be erected in his garden for
the use of his little boy, aged 6. He
waited and waited, but the swing never
arrived. In due course of time that boy
grew up to mans estate, and became
himself the father of little boy.
"When his son was years old, he
remembered how his own father had Or
dered a swing to be made for him. So
he called on the tradesman, who lived
at his gate, and asked him to send up
the swing that had been ordered 90
years before. The man agreed to do So
1.-THE little boy, becoming inpatient
after three weeks, his father called
again, and demonstrated with the Ara
bian as to his dilatoriness. The indig-
nant tradesman replied that he could
not really undertake to serve any one
who was in such fearful hurry. -

REV. r. ID. GARNIN is NOW TO
LEAVE HONOLULU.
Established a Church in the Face of
Obstaces-Leaves Good Congraga:
ton that He Organized

DIR. T. ID. Garvin has resigned tho
passionate of the Christian church in
Honolulu and will leave in about
three weeks for the States, not to re-
turn. 1t is likely he will accept an.
other charge in California. though he
has as yet nothing positive in view.
DR.. Garvin will complete next week
two years of remarkable success in re.
ligious work in Honolulu. He came
here in 1894 on a visit to relatives, the
family of Mr.. j. A. Hopper. The field
for a Christian church was open, but
all of uninviting. He braved the great
obstacles, however, and in August OF
1894 the church was started.
A meeting place had to be devised
With his own hands and the aid of n
few good carpenters, DIR. Garvin soon
erected on the lot now occupied by the
tennis court at Union Square a tent
in which meetings were held. There
the church took root and grew.

During the last 10 or 10 years we
have witnessed in Scotland an enormous
decrease in the number of ''hands" en-
ployed in agricultural work. In 1871
there were in Scotland 1866, 096 farm
servants, in 1881 there were 149, 765
and in 1891 only 120,770. Doubtless
more than one cause has contributed to
this result, but in the main it must be
traced back to two great central facts.
G During the last 20 years large
tracts of arabic land have gone out
of cultivation. GU During the same pc
Rod there has taken place an enor-
nous displacement of hand labor by
machinery. Take the effect of but one
single invention. During the past few
seasons self binding reapers have rap
idly sprung into popularity.
According to The Agricultural Econo-
mist, reaping and tying corn by manual
labor used to cost from IS. to los. per
acre, but with the new machines il
costs only from Is. Cd. to 2s. Cd. per
acre. In other words, some 20 or &c
youths can now perform the work that
formerly required 80 able bodied men
and an equal number of young lads and
lasses. This is but one example out of
many. True it is, limited number OF
those crowded out peasants may, and
doubtless do, find employment at some
of the various kinds of unskilled labor,
even in a comparatively overstocked
city market. Nevertheless, the inevita.
BILE result of all this must be the inten.
sification of the unemployed problem in

Mr.. Bryan was supported by men who
believed in the isms no was put forward
to represent, and by men who did not
believe In them.
The first were not NIL Of one mind.
Some OF them believed tho free coinage
OF silver to be honest and polite. Others
did not concern themselves about the
honesty or good policy OF free silver;
they were In debt and thought they saw
an easy way out. Others supported the
Chicago ticket because they had been
made to believe that the money power"
has grip on the throats OF the people
and that Mr.. Bryan was the champion
OF the masses against the classes"
Then came those who object TO the
exercise OF the authority az the federal
power to enforce the federal laws when
somebody desires to break those laws In
the name OF labor. All these could give
some plausible reason for standing by
the Chicago convention.
The second element OF the Bryan sup
port was made UP OF those who dissented
from the Chicago platform on every
vital point. They did not believe in the
free silver hercsy. knew the truth about
the money power" had no sympathy
with the class Idea, and would have
no respect for the government OF the
United States II It were to allow itself
to be ridden down by mob.
The men OF this way OF thinking who
supported Mr.. Bryan took that illogical
position because they call themselves
Democrats and because the Chicago
convention called itself Democratic
They come out OF the campaign so
whipped and pounded and bedragGIcd as
TO be objects of pity. They are without
the consolation of conscience or the graf
Ification OF victory.
