Mr. Hotchkiss arrived in Hawaii in
1865, and for the greater portion of the

by Robert Grieve, one OF the oldest
printers in the country.
The funeral held yesterday afternoon
in H. II. Williams undertaking parlors
was attended by members of the typo

Hotchkiss was pleasantly known.
The funeral service was read by Rev
Hiram Bingham, who paid a touching
tribute to the man whose name may
soon be forgotten, but whose assistance
to the missionaries in the Gilbert ISL
ands will always be remembered as one
of the providential blessings to those
engaged in spreading the news of the
Gospel. The remains were inferred at

Todav's Baseball Game.

Undoubtedly today's game between
the Stars and Kamehamehas on Makiki
base ball grounds at $3.50 p. m. will be
one of the most exciting of the season.
The Stars on the one hand are confident
of a victory with their new men, and
the Kams on the other hand are not
the least bit afraid, deeming their old
team good enough to take the twinkle
out of the Stars. So there it stands,
with two of the best teams in the
League, and each assured of victory.
As already stated in the columns Of
this paper, Babbit of Punahou will
pitch for the Stars, Bliss of the Imperial
base ball team of California will play
second base, and Lionel Hart will try
a little fielding out in right. Harry Will
der will occupy his usual position be-
hind the bat.

The Calnphor Tree.

Prof. II. c.. Hubbard, the we'll
known entomologist, believes that
camphor growing can be made a
profitable industry in Florida. At
the late meeting Of the State Hor-
ticultural society he presented the
subject in a manner calculated to
excite much interest in. it. He said
the worlds supply of camphor is
nearly exhausted. It had been sup
posed that the interior of Formosa
was a vast camphor forest, but a
German scientist lately told him in
Washington that he had visited
Formosa and explored it on pur-
pose to ascertain as to this fact, and
that there is very little left on the
island. The price Of camphor gum
is advancing rapidly--it is now six
ty-fve cents a pound and will prob
ably soon reach dollar
Florida suits the canphor tree
admirably. It is as hardy as the
wild gum tree; has never been kill
ed to amount to anything except i'll
the severe freeze of February, 1906.
And, even if cut down by the cold,
it sprouts up again with great Wig

The subject of fences is of vital
importance to all who are now in
the Sunny South Colony and also
to those who may wish to come in
the near future.
While we have sevelar different
kinds of fences here from the rail
or worm fence to no fence at all,
we find that it requires fence at
once high enough to keep cattle
from Jumping over and at the
same time tight enough to keep
the razor back" from reaching
through and laying tribute to the
third row sweet potatoes" from
the fence.
We built fence from the young
pine saplings and the sawyer has
SO eaten the wood as to almost
cause the poles to break of it's own
weight. Cattle have found this
out and break it down at will and
destroy our crop, this is aggravat-
ing but does not keep the cattle
out.
A good board fence consisting
Of three boards at the bottom and
two wires at the top will keep out
both hogs and cattle, but the ex-
pense of both wire and boards
must be met in cash.
A post and rail fence is very SER
vicable and is fence that one can
easily work near to with a team

terial on each lot, will last a long

or. 1t grows more rapidly than the
orange. In the Orient is some
times grows $50 feet high. Such
trees, of course, have to be cut
down and destroyed. But if cam
phor is produced economically in
Florida only the leaves must be dis
titled in order that the plantations
may be perpetuated.
BY means of a rude still i1npro-
vised from two cottolene cans he
had extracted the gum from seven
pounds of leaves, and he exhibited
samples of the pure white gum, the
unrefned product, and the water of
distillation mixed with camphor
OIL
Professor Hubbard states that
10Y pounds Of leaves of Florida
camphor will yield pound Of
crude gum. At 40 cents a pound,
the present price, an acre of trees
three years old will produce $500
worth of gum annually, with two
cuttings of the leaves per year, Or
possibly three. He gave figures
showing a rapid increase in the
value of the annual yield of gum, as
the trees grow older, until finally
the possible output may safely be
placed at $1,000 per acre per year.
The tree makes a very dense head;
he is not acquainted with any other
which makes solder one. A ma
ture tree will contain 700 pounds Of
leaves, of which 900 pounds might
safely be cut or plucked without in
jury to the tree.
The camphor will grow in very
poor, sandy soil or in the richest
hammocks, but it is mistake to
suppose that it prefers poverty of
soil. 1t is as sensitive as the or
ange to good cultivation and fer
tilizer. An almost perfect situation
for it is on Our frst-class plnelands,
although he thinks that the leaves
from hammock grown trees will
probably yield a slightly higher
percentage of gum.

The First Loo motive
The real inventor of the locomotive
never realized a cent from his inven-
ton. His name was Oliver Evans.
He was born in Delaware in 1926, and
spent all his life perfecting inven-
tons, which were destined to bring
him nothing but mere poverty. He
was the original inventor of the high
pressure engines used in locomotives,
the only kind that could be employ
ed to advantage in this form of trans
portation; but realized nothing for
his idea. His application of the no.
ton to both land and water-power
was somewhat novel.
In 1904, the municipality of Phil
adelphia called for bids for the
dredging of the river and the clean
ing of the docks. Evans put in a bid
lower than any of his competitors,
and, when it was accepted, deter
mined to build a steamboat to do
the work. He fitted out scow with
a steam engine, building both the
engine and the scow in his own
work shop. When the boat was
ready to be launched, Evans deter
mined to give the people of Phila-
delphia an object lesson in mechan-
les; so he put the boat on wheels,
fitted up push wheel behind, set
his engine to work, and propelled
the boat through the streets to the
river, in the midst of an open
mouthed throng, not a few of whom
had a dim idea that he ought to be
arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank
Of the river, the wheels and aXles
were taken off, the craft was launch
ed, fitted out with other wheels, and
made to do the work of dredging the
harbor.
So far as the invention of mechani-
cal devices went, Evans had splen-
did genius; but when dollars and
cents came up for consideration, he
was a mere child, and even allowed
himself to be cheated out of the
money that was due him for clean
ing the Philadelphia harbor with his
new-fangled steamboats,. Louis

GLORIA'S GIFT.

ooh, but | am not, mamma! I'm
not bit tired. And / would so like
to have my little poem tell Uncle Dan
what 1 want him to feel"
Gloria Darling looked at the page
of manuscript she held in one thin,
white hand with eyes unnaturally
large and bright. The hand trem-
bled with excitement and her deli
cate cheeks were fever-fushed. The
bed was strewn with loose sheets of
paper covered with pencilings.
She sighed and lay back among the
pillows. ''It doesn't just suit me-"
she said 81 cannot express the
thought in any new way, and he has
heard the old, glad Christmas story
without needing it so many, many
years."
eff he will not heed the story from
on this earth,' returned her mother,
with half-breathed sigh, of which
she was not conscious.
''On this earth"-Gloria murmured
the words under her breath musing-
lyon this EARTH"
She lay quite still for long time,
with closed eyes. Mrs. Darling
thought her asleep, and moved softly
about the room, so as not to disturb
her. At twilight she heard her name
called and turned to find Gloria's
bright eyes regarding her eagerly in
the gathering dusk.
Mamma, do you think Uncle Dan
would come if you were to telegraph
him tonight?
"Gloria!" There was inexpressi-
BILE pathos in the exclamation, as if
wrung from her very soul.
Dear mamma, do not fret. I am
not going away from you. [ am just
tired and want to sleep little while
before you are ready. I could not
bear such a long life-journey as
yours; so I shall go soon and you
will find your little Gloria over yon-
der waiting for you whenever you
come. See, mamma, am not afraid!
Are you afraid for me?"
'My darling, no."
"Then, mamma, there is nothing
for either of us to fear. But [ would
like to see Uncle Dan before I go.
Will you telegraph to night?"
'My darling, yes"
Uncle Dan came the next evening
Christmas Eve. His heart was very
heavy, for there was a close attach
ment between the big, prosperous
man of the world and the frail young
girl about to pass beyond the portals
his only sisters child.
He brought with him a basket heap
ing with snowy schysanthemums.
Their cost was nothing to him. For
Gloria loved them. A Christmas was
not complete to her without them.
"My Christmas flowers" murmur-
ed Gloria, carressing the beautiful
blossoms with loving fingers. "How
kind and thoughtful you are, Uncle
DAM I ought to say my favorite
piece for thanks, oughtn't I? You
remember it?-Mrs. Bates Chrysan-
themums':
