THE CHINESE TIMES.
High Old Times in the Editors Sane.
tum This Afternoon.

Chung Chang Sing is the editor
and halloween of the ChineseTimes
and he is now in the hospital. He
invested the sum ofsl1 in the paper
a short time since. Yesterday he
valued his interest at $50 and
offered to sell at that figure. An
agreement was made with a would
be purchaser who was to pay up
and take control of the paper to-
day. The man went to the office
with his money, accompanied by
Chin Tai, another stakeholder.
But the editor had changed his
mind and refused to sell. There
upon Chin Tai larded the EDITOR
al sanctum with choice celestial
epithets and sailed into the editor
with convenient hammer.
A blow on the back of the
head luckily glanced off, tearing a
hole in the editors scalp. If the
blow had struck squarely instead
of gIancing, the editor would have
been in charge of the corner in
stead of being laid up for repairs
in the hospital. Ching Tai is
under arrest on a charge of as
sault with a deadly weapon and
the future of the Chinese Times
is very uncertain.

EXHIBITIONS AGAIN.

In the efforts TO set forth the
character of its agricultural pro-
ducts, Hawaii is today far behind
the agricultural communities of
the Western Coast, and we doubt
il it equals even the province of
New Brunswick on the Eastern
Coast" says the Advertiser as
part of its reply to this paper on
the subject of exhibitions. AS
the editor of this paper was never
in New Brunswick more than
two nights and day,
he cannot resolve the Adver-
Users doubt. But having in his
time written full reports. of fed.
eral, provincial, county and ma
tive Indian industrial exhibitions,
east and west of New Brunswick,
he is in position to say that the
idea conveyed in the sentence
quoted from the Advertiser is
eminently correct. 1t is a great
treat to visit the average ex-
hibition anywhere from the At.
lantIc to the Pacific. But the
kind of exhibition advocated
by the Advertiser-without legis-
lative sanction or support, or
authorized location, no accesso-
ries for exciting popular interest,
nor likely to have means for
bringing it properly to the atten-
ton of the outside world-could
not come up to the average coun-
ty or even township exhibition
of North America. Lately cor
respondent Of this paper advocat-
ed series Of popular festivals to
take place on the Inauguration of
the Waikiki beach boulevard.
This paper thought it good idea,
in keeping with the stimulating
fetes lately in California towns.
Similarly, the BULLETIN will be
found at the front in supporting
periodical industrial exhibitions
whenever the Legislature sees its
way clear to giving it authorize
ton and assistance. 1t would be
q grand thing for Honolulu to
have permanent main building
for periodical exhibitions, with
accommodation adjacent for live
stock shows, either at Kapiolani
park or a park that ought to be
established at Kalihi. Such an
institution would alone make a
permanent exhibition of credit
able nature feasible. The Bull
LETIN is not antediluvian in its
ideas, but cannot be beguiled into
supporting counterfeit schemes Of
progress.

Why
Hang
On

to your type printed visiting
card, when it is SO easy to
get the correct thing right at
home.
No card but an engraved
one is acceptable; others are
considered shoddy and should
not be used.
We know the correct thing,
and any work turned out by
us, will place you right in
the swim.
Every effort is being made
by us to keep this work at
home, and if a strict adher-
ence to San Francisco prices,
combined with good clean
work is any inducement to
place orders here, we will get
all your work from now on.
Bear in mind that we are
not trying to meet the cut
rates of Eastern Department
stores for inferior work; but
are doing good work, using
the very best of material, and
adhering closely to ruling
rates in San Francisco.
Nor is the work confined
to Cards alone, but Wedding
and Society Stationery, Bust
ness Cards, Announcements,
Bill Heads for Professional
men, Embossing, and the
general run of work coming
under that head, have the
same careful attention.
You may not need any
thing now, but it is well to
bear in mind whoG the time
comes, and save the expense
of sending away for it.

Cheap Lodging For /. Prince.

Accidentally bill of an inn at Pas
seier, Tyrol, was discovered among the
papers of recently deceased member of
the official household Of Emperor Will
Liam l, which gives an idea of the cost
of living at that time In 1851 William,
then prince of Prussia, with a suit Of
six companions, stopped at the inn. The
lodging for the company amounted to IL
Eeutzer-5 cents. The breakfast coffee
was more expensive, however, kreut-
ger for each CUP. e., az cents. A
dish of milk was cent, three eggs for /

Of soup, meat. roast, fruit, preserves and

party amounted to 2 forms and "a

The Great Structure Erected b. Order u
Philip II of Spain.
The Escurial, built by Philip II be-
tween 1868 and 1854, was called 1.-THE
eighth wonder of the WORLD" says .
special correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid. 1t was ut once q temple, palace.
a treasury, q tomb and a museum. That
is to say, all these were included in the
hinge building which Philip erected ON
the slope Of spur of the Guadarama
range, 80 miles northwest Of Madrid.
The builder s object was to carry out the
will Of his father, Charles V, by con-
structing a royal burial place, and also
to fulfill a vow he had made during the
battle of st. Quentin, when he i'm
plored the aid Of ST. Lorenzo, on whose
day (Aug. 10, 1861 the battle was
fought.
The cdifice stands about 5000 feet
above the sea, facing the mountains, with
its back toward Madrid. 1t is rectangu-
Lar parallelogram, $40 feet from north to
south, and $50 from east to west. On
the east side is an advanced portico
which breaks the facade. This gave rise
to the vulgar impression that Philips
idea was to make tho building in the
shape Of q gridiron, an allusion to the
manner Of st. Lorenzo's martyrdom, no
having been broiled to death on a slow
fire in the reign Of the Roman Emperor
Valentianus, A. d. eel. There seems
to be no other ground for the fanciful
invention.
The building covers 500, 900 square
feet Of land, or nearly IL acres. 1t has
16 courtyards, sc staircascs, 10 clois-
GERS, IS fountains and 4, 900 feet Of paint
ed fresco. The church, which occupies
less than a sixth of the whole space, is
800 feet long, $50 feet wide and SEQ feet
high to the top of the cupola. The re-
deeming qualities Of the enormous struc-
ture are size, simplicity and situation.
1t seems to be a part of the mountain on
the slope Of which it rises. It still looks
grand even among mountain buttresses
Otherwise, it disappoints. Its architec-
ture has little in form OF color to COM

uity, and it does not express any reli-
gious sentiment. It might be a vast man.
ufactory. Its cold granite walls, blue
states, leaden roofs and small windows
give it q commonplace appearance.
Of course it is now little more than
q skeleton of what it was The living
monks who swarmed in it's courts are
here nc longer. The revenues on which
they lived have been taken away. The
French soldiers stole and carried away
many of its golden ornaments in 1908.
Its best pictures have been removed to
Madrid. The building has suffered from
neglect, exposed to hurricanes and WIN
ter SHOWS. Better care has been taken
Of it in later years. It is now used as a
seminary, where about 200 youths re-
ceive q secular education.

WHO SETS TIE FAsHIoNsi
Evidence That the Royal Ladies' q In

Evideneo That the Royal Ladies' q Eng.
land DO Sometime.
The late Mr.. Worth, the Partisan king
Of dressmakers, once said that it fire.
quently took him as long as three years
to educate the public up to one of his
fashions, and to have it adopted. He Of
course has set great many fashions in
his time, but the dressmakers are not re-
sponsible for most of the changes that
take place.
It is a simpler thing for q man like
the Prince of Wales, who is generally
admitted to be the best dressed gentle
man in Europe. to change fashion in
mems clothing than it is for lady in
society to change the fashion Of the time,
or to bring in new one. But any Of the
recognized fashion leaders, such Us the
Duchess of Sutherland, the Countess of
Dudley, Lady Brooke, the Countess Gros-
yenor or Mrs CORVALLIS West, can, if
they persist long enough. bring in a
fashion which will soon become general
" popular.
For instance, the Duchess Of Portland,
after her marriage, had a strong inclina-
ton for Malmaison carnations as button
holes, and wore them on every possible
occasion. Before that time they were
not much sought after, but very soon all
the florists in Bond street and Regent
street had a great display Of them in
their windows.
The Princess Of Wales is not fashion
setter, but is one of those most sensible
ladies' who favor comfortable costumes
and tailor made gowns, and who does
not run to the extreme modes. She
dresses, however, with excellent taste
Another matter in which the royal
family are very conservative is theway in
which they wear their hair. At the time
when the "bun chignOn" came in not
one of the young princesses adopted it,
although it was extremely fashionable.
Curled fringes, rs is well known, are
very popular with the royal family.
Sometimes the fashions are introduced
quite by chance. A few years ago, when
. well known beauty was married to a
young nobleman, the bride decreed that
her bridesmaids should wear dark velvet
hats with ostrich feathers. At first ev-
cry one was very much surprised, but
the idea caught on, and during 1899 at
two-thirds of the fashionable weddings
dark velvet hats were worn with light
dresses. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

For the past two and one-half
months w. l. Ball, the boat
builder, has been working on a
center-board sloop yacht for Clar-
ence Macfarlane, and yesterday
afternoon it was launched at the
foot of Alakea street.
The "Ukulele," the new yacht, is
20 feet long with a 15-foot water
line and Z by 6 beam. Her mast
is 81 feet high. She is painted
white with blue trimmings.
The "Ukulele" sits well in the
water, appearing as light as a
feather. She was admired by a
large number of people yesterday.
The yacht is built to go and will
enter a race with the very best in
