The wonderful development of cer-
tain faculties in he eases of persons
who have lost the Use of sor.n of their
natural functions. or of others whose
farultic:' have not been fully developed,
has long been Il matter oi re.sl;li'k. but
il is not alone the outside observers who
appreciate the provisions of nature for
the benefit of the l,nfortunates. The
sufferers themselves often appreciate
this fully. says the New York sun. and
i'll some instances. after years. grow to
depend so much upon their acquired
faculties as to be afraid of change,
even if they have the chance of one.
An illustration of this is given by
woman in Brooklyn who never has
learned to read or write. In no way
could one discover this except by her
own admission. or by putting her to Il
direct test, for she is one of the best
educated women in the country. con-
versant with languages. art. literature
and all the current topics of the day.
Size is rich. too. and could afford all the
services of the best teachers if she but
chose to learn to read, but she refuses
TO do so.
When this woman was a child her
parents lived far from schools. so She
had no chance then TO read or write.
AS mere child she began to earn her
own living. and again the chance for
schooling slipped away. Then she mar
ried and the care of family took up
her time. BY time the babies We're off

and then she began her real education.
and low. as Il widow. she continues it.
Her companions read to her about all
the topics which interest her. Years
of such work have stored her mind
with a rich treasure of knowledge. and
there is not q page of a book that has
been read to her that she is not familiar
with; her stores of knowledge are at
her instant command. Why will she
not learn to read? Because, she says,
she fears that this wonderful memory,
which is now such Il treasure-housc to
her, might be impaired if She were to
do anything to weaken the demands
upon it.
What such memory can do is well
illustrated in the case of n tailor of this
city who cannot read or write He is
probably the most widely known man
in his business here. as for many wears
he has done business with New York's
1iremen and policemen. Almost every
man of these two bodies has dealings
with this tailor, and each month be-
tween the first and the tenth DAYS he
visits every station house and engine
and truck house in this city to collect
his dues. He has acquired consider
able wealth, and it is said of him that
i'll all the years he has dealt with the
tiremen and policemen he never was
known to make mistake of n cent in
any mans account, although all his
records of transactions have been kept
In his head.

History of the Society.
The story back of this immense gather
ing in the land of flowers has Il romantic
interest that lifts it far above the COM
monplacc. But sixteen years ago this
worldwide organization had a humble
birth in a little, out-of-thcway church in
Maine. To-day there are $4,000 socic
ties. with Il membership OF 7,O0O,0OO
young people in every part of the civilized
world. from Spain to the Samoan Islands,
in the south seas, and from Australia to
Alaska.
In this time 1O.nOO,OoO meetings have
been held by Christian Endcavorcrs.
Copies OF the constitution numbering
5.O00,00O have been printed in forty lam
guages, and at least 15,0O0O00 copies of
the pledge. More than 100000 associ-
ate memncrs have Joined the church. and
more than $2,O0O,OO0 has been given for
denominational purposes Such, i'll brief,
ia the remarkable history of one OF the
most conspicuous religious movements of
all times.
The immense meeting on the Pacific
slope has eclpsed all previous reunions.
The central meeting place was Mechan-
les Pavilion. which occupies an entire
square in the heart Of that western me
tropois. and has seating accommodations
for 10000 persons. The second great
meeting place was Woudward's Pavilion,
which is about ton minutes walk from
the central rendezvous. 1t is an octasonal
building with Il seating capacity of 1000.
These two places of meeting were supple
mcntcd almost every hour i'll the day with
gatherings in the various churches. Even
the Chinese churches and mariners
church Hospitality throwing open their
doors.
This religious siege of San Francisco
was nothing if not picturesque. 1t was
nineteenth century ''ilongs' which doubt
less made the monastic saints of long ago
turn unnasily i'll their graves. The Chris
tian EndcavOrcr goes in for Il happy re-
lisiOn, and if he cannot vent his cXuber-
nnce in !: long and loud hosannl he re-
sorts to i. yell in characteristic college
boy fashion.
Most interesting of all the meetings
were the services i'll out-of-thc-way places.
Prayer and song and exhortation were
made by wanderin. bands before the
lcatllen temples i'll Chinatown. in the
magnificent gambling saloons. among the
sailors, on the wharvcs. in the jails and
in the slams. in the different factories. in
the hoSpitals-in fact, wherever the
Christian Endeavorer could plant his two
feet and his symbolic flag.

to human advocacy or ecclesiastical author

found adapted to every evangelical creed, to
every race and class and language and con-

the principles involved In our covenant
pledge have been ignored. or where 1t has
been crushed out by denominational author

In answering the question of the sub
jcct, he said the movement must be true
to it's fundamental idea; must necessarily
be unifsing; must be pcrvasive force;
must be sacriticial, and must listen to
Gods voice and continually obey it. Con-
tinuing, he said:

the sailors were invited to join with rep

touch in their voyages to sing and to pray.
The complete program for the conven-
tion wonid fill IL good-sized book. OF spc-

hundreds of voices which sang in the two
great meeting places. The first gun was
fired Wednesday night, with twelve sim

Long before the hour appointed for the
opening of the convention on Thursday
every salt in the vast pavilion, which lc-
commodities over 10000 people, was occu-
pied. Promptly at 9:3O the great gather
ing WAS called to order by Rev. L. II.
Wilkc of San Francisco, and after a mu-
sical welcome by the choir, brief devo-
ti0nal exercises were conducted by Rev.
Philip h. King Of Benton. Tex. Then
the welcome of the committee of 90 was
delivered by 1tolla V. Watt, who spoke i'll
part as follows:

remarks of Mr.. Watt had subsidized the
welcome of the Golden Gate pastors was
given l,v the Rev. John Ecmphill Lieut..
Gov. !etcr then welcomed the delegates
and their friends on behalf of the State

ROYAL INCOMES.

The King of Greece whose income is
only 100000 a year, has offered TO
give up part of it to pay the war in
demnity. Compared with other
crowned persons, he can i'll afford to
do so. The Sultan has about $4,000
600, and can raise a good sized army
at his own expense. The German En-
peror, as such, has no income, his civ
il list, as King of Prussia, being about
$l,000,000. His private fortune is also
small, and there is no special grant
for the princes of his house. The En-
peror of Austria is much richer, and
his civil list is much larger. Italy's
King has to be satisfied with 100000.
The richest is probably the Car of
Russia who has unrestricted command
over the finances of his empire, al
though he is satisfied with a civil list
of 100000 and the $4,0OO,000 income
from private sources. The demands
upon the purses of these rulers are
nevertheless so great that none Of
them are able TO put anything aside.

Lieutenant of Ireland, guide named

Francois. and Joseph Tournier, were
killed by an avalanche ON the Grand
plateau of Mont Blame in October,
1866. The bodies of the guide and the
porters were found after a week. but
Captain Arkwright's body was only
recovered from the ice last month,
5000 feet below where he died. An

covered.
The right hand was marvelously
lifelike. The ice had preserved in. it
the red tint of the blood. From the

on it. The deceased officers collar had
in it gold stud and in his shirt front
was a larger one set with a diamond
star. The debris of IA silver cigaretf
case were in his pocket, and his gold
watch and chain were on the ice near
where the body was found.
The Justice of the Peace, the May

held an inquest over the remains, dis

in the shadow of Mont Blanc. They

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago prominent gen
teman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.

These percentages, as compared
with 1896. show small increase in the
imports from Great Britain, while the
percentage of exports remains the
same. The imports from Germany
show an increase of nearly $50 per
cent. There was also a slight increase
in the exports. The imports from
British North America increased from
500 per cent to 5.33. while the exports
decreased from coo to 6.2S. The i'm
