HAWAIIAN RECIPROCITY.
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Favors 1t.

At meeting of the committee on
state and national affairs of the Cham
Der of Commerce. held recently at
Seattle, developed several new ideas
on the subject of the continuation of
the reciprocity treaty with the Ha-
waiian islands. The way in which C.
l.. Webb presented the matter to the
Board of Trustees at a previous meet
ing led TO the belief that his views
would be ADOPTED and that the repre-
sentatives in Congress would be urged
to vote against its renewal. The dis
cussion was participated in by Mr..
Webb, Gen. Meem, Mr.. Hayns and
others, and the result was the exact
reverse of what was expected, the com
mittee recommending to the Board of
Trustees that the reciprocity treaty
be renewed at its termination.

GIRL MAKES A FORTUNE.
She Puts Her Inventive Faculty to a
Money-Producing Purpose

Miss Jennie wertheimer. Of Cincinnati.
has made a fortune by dint Of har inven-
tive talent Three years ago she hit
upon scheme Of commercial paper
which would effectually exclude all pos
sibillty Of raising amounts on checks
forging names or otherwise tampering
with their face value. Many days she
spent. with vigils Of thenight, to perfect
the system
She patented a private check system
for the benefit OF bankers and a plan
OF commercial paper which will make
attempts at forgery futile. The principal
feature Of her invention lies in the form
and composition OF the draft From the
TOP Of the note to the name in favor
Of whom the amount Is made out the
paper material has the usual thickness
But from that point It becomes as thin
and transparent as tissue paper. At the
same time the paper preserves its
strength and durability. II the note has
been tampered with in any way this will
be shown by holding the paper UP to the
light
