WESTERN FARM MORTGAGES.

Minneapolis Tribune: Some re-
cent researches by the we'll known
statlstician, Edward Atkinson,
demonstrates that the Western
farm mortgage situation is not so
bad as it has been painted. He
says the completed returns show
that the life of the average farm
mortgage is less than five years;
also that more than one-half the
money advanced on farms is
loaned by people of the states in
which the farms are located. In
many instances, farmers are the
lenders, and the number Of far
illers who have money to loan is
almost as great as those who
need to borrow. The mortgages
held by so-called eastern parties
amount to less than II per cent
Of the value of the farms.

The South Dakota delegation

ed L. B. French chairman, and
Williams of Webster, member of
the resolution committee. There
were eight places to give out and
eight members of the delegation,
and in order to leave Pettigrew
out, one of the members was
awarded two offices by the COM
bine. There is such a thing as
carrying this matter a little too
far. Frank Pettigrew IS a citizen
of South Dakota and has many
friends who are hustlers, and
whose influence at a critical time
might mean a great deal to the
republican party in the state.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM Our heSular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. June u, 1896.
There never was less interest
shown in Washington in the
closing hours of a session OF
congress. Usually the galleries
are crowded, but III this instance
there were only the everyday at
tendance of tourists and idlers
who may almost always be found
III the capitol when congress is in
session. Owing to the anxiety of
republicans senators and repre-
sentatives to get to St. Louis and
take part in the ante-convention
maneuvers there was the great
est difficulty in keeping a quorum
on hand during the last two days
of the session. The house re-
voked all leaves of absence and
telegraphed the absentees to
come back, but not only did none
of those who had gone come back,
but others kept going all the time.
They knew that the only busi-
ness that congress would attend
to was the reconciling of differ
ences between the house and SEN
ate on appropriation bills, and
they were more strongly attract
ed towards St. Louis.
The interest in the financial
plank of the platform to be adopt
ed by the St. Louis convention
has been intense all the week and
will continue until the conyention
removes all doubts. Ali sorts of
rumors have been flying around
as to deals that we're being made
which would affect that plank. 1t

School, which opened its doors for act
i've operations on the first day of De-
cember of that year, and continued I'M
der his supervision, with Miss e. w.
Lyons as principal.
After laboring for years to secure the
financial aid and cooperation of friends
and as a means of supplying employ
ment for the natives, who were rapidly
moving to Honolulu, where livelihood
could more readily be secured, success
crowned his efforts and the Kohala
plantation was started in 1868, under
the corporate name and title of the
Kohala Sugar Company. This could in
no sense be considered venture for
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, as, notwith-
standing the fancy prices ruling for
sugar, as viewed from the present time,
the machinery and process of sugar
manufacture were comparatively crude,
eXtravagantly wasteful, and no sugar
plantation up to that time had been a
financial success to its Adventures, but
decidedly the reverse.
Twelve years rolled by before the Ko-
hala Sugar Company declared a divi-
dend, and it was then rescued from a
precarious condition only by the OPP
perfume passage of the Reciprocity
Treaty with the United States in 1876.
His income since that time received
from the plantation has been almost
entirely devoted to the cause of re-
ligion and education in foreign lands,
as well as at home, through the various
mission boards and educational socie-
ties one of his latest donations in that
line being for the relief of the sufferers
for the cause of religion in Armenia.
His heart and soul were bound up in
those twin promoters of all that is good
for the human race-religion and edu-
cation. Needy individuals also received
his generous consideration.
Neither asking for nor seeking wealth
for his own aggrandizement, as he often
had occasion to say, he was favored to
remarkable degree during the later
years of his life with the means for
promoting those interests to which he
had devoted his life. In spite of weak
ness and suffering, his mind was bright
to the last, and he took an active inter
est to the very end in the welfare of
those who were about him, and in the
stirring events that were taking place
in his adopted land and elsewhere, and
his conception of life of happiness in
the future world was that it should be
a life of labor.

Business Affairs in TangIe lie
Could Not Unravel - Could Not
Stand Competition-Brough Back
by Policemen and Sent Home.

One of the mysteries of the year is
the disappearance of NJ. S. Levy, mer-
chant who has been conducting small
business on Fort street, next to Lewis
& Co., for the past three years. 1t has
been known for year that his business
was falling off and that it was only a
question OF time when he would give
way to the competition in his lines
Last fall he made a chattel mortgage
on his entire stock in favor of Theo.
II. Davies & Co. for $4,000, which will
probably cover the amount of his in
debtedness to that firm. Among his
other creditors are several jobbers in
Town. He has no outside debts.
Whatever his debts may amount to
have been contracted since he began
business for himself a few years ago.
Prior to that time he was with his
brother-in-law, s. Ehrllc, when the lat
ter was conducting the Temple of Fash
ion at the corner of Hotel and Fort
Levy's wife is Ehrlic's sister, and she
has helped him in the store since he
began business. Levy is man with no
eXtrayagant habits, and his losses have
accrued in legitimate business way.
Mrs. Levy was spoken to regarding
her husband, and said she had heard
nothing from him; she merely knew
that he stayed away from home Monday
night, but she was ignorant as to his
whereabouts.
At 6:55 p. M, just about the time
the reporter was in conversation with
Mrc T avy uorrv Cannon of tho Do
lama grocery reported to the police
having seen Levy in his store in the
morning and that he was on his way
by bus to Moanalua Cannon said Levy
talked with him for twenty minutes.
At 1920 p. N. the bookkeeper of the
Kalihi Fertilizer Works reported that
Levy was at his house in Kalihi, and
that he had called there Monday after
noon. This message was received over
the telephone, and at the time it was
sent Levy was sitting on lounge on
the veranda
The matter was reported at once to
the Deputy Marshal, who sent Officer
Logan and Mounted Patrolman Foster
in hack to ]. F. Hagen's home in
Kalihi.
Upon arrival, at about 7:45 o'clock
Levy was found lying on the lounge or
the veranda.
Patrolman Foster accosted him anC
told him that the Marshal wanted tc
see him. At this Levy exclaimed, my
God!" and then sighed.
He was put into the hack and had got
but little distance when he said: III
is too bad to be arrested. Fear made
me do it-made me run away"
The question was asked him, What
do you fear?" whereupon Levy an.
swered, 81 never robbed anybody;
have always been fair and square in my
dealings"
Upon coming to the electric lights
Levy would shrink back in the seat as

marked that his debts had caused his

end in view entered Bowdoin College
in Brunswick, Maine, from whence he
graduated in 1897 After graduation
from the Bangor Theological Seminary
in Maine in 1910, he offered his services
to the American Board of Commission
ers for Foreign Missions, and was as
signed to duty in the Hawaiian Islands.
He found in Ellen Mariner Howell of
Portland, Maine, a person who was will
ling to join him in that kind of work,
and who ever afterwards proved to be
laborious and devoted help-meet.
Having been united in marriage on the
10Th of September, 1910, they sailed
from Boston in the ship Gloucester"
which bore to these Islands the fourth
installment of missionaries to this land,
their fellow passengers and co-laborers
being the late Rev. Daniel Dole, Rev.
j. D. Paris and w. H. Rice, with their
wives, all of whom have long since
passed away from these earthly scenes
of labor with the exception of Mother
Rice" who still remains.
After tedious passage of six months
around Cape Horn, including a stop

on May 21st, 1S41, during the annual
meeting of the missionaries.
Sailing thence not long after the ad-

the increasing demands of the service,

followed the establishment of sugar
plantations, absorbed more of his time

TALKS WITH TENNYSON.

How Some Of the Great Poet's Famous
Limos We're suggested.
Mr.. Wilfrid Ward, who was on terms
a very interesting article in the New
Review. entitled Talks with Tenny-
son." From this we learn how some OF
the most famous Of the laureate's poems
took shape in his mind.
One remark which Tennyson made
to Mr.. Ward was Immediately after
ward embodied in eight lines OF great
beauty:
walking one day on the down which
stretches from Freshwater Bay to the
Freshwater Beacon, his conversation
was chiefly of two subjects. One was
the mad lawlessness Of the Celtic char
acter and the other all the
mass of confusion and crime which
great town brought together.
About half way between Freshwater
Bay and the Beacon, he suddenly stop
ped and pointed with his stick to star,
quite visible, though it was almost
daylight. DO you see that starr he

evening star. Do you know II We lived
there this world would look TO us exact
ly like that? Fancy the vice and con-
| fusion of London or Paris in that peace
full star" He looked again at the star
with an expression half OF horror, half
of grim humor. We walked on"
Mr.. Ward did not know at the time
that Tennyson was writing the second
''Locksley Hail." and it was with a
curious sensation that he read after
ward the exquisite lines which the walk
had apparently suggested.
| An exceedingly interesting portion OF
Mr.. Wards article is the account he
gives of Tennyson's explanation and
reading OF his poem, de Profundis. "
He was very i'll at the time, but his
mind was quite clear. Says Mr.. Ward:
| He seemed so much better when he
had finished his explanation that
asked him to read the poem through
again. This he did, more beautifully
than have ever heard him read. felt
as though his long illness and his ex-
pectation of death gave more intensity
and force to his rendering OF this won
