NO ENTHUSIASM

A few members q, the Hawaiian
Jockey Club responded to the call
of the President, and met last even
ing at the Pacific Club.
AS result Of the meeting it can
not be ascertained yet whether we
are to have any races on the 11th OF
June.
The secretary wants TO know who
has got horses, and what kind Of
races will suit the owners of racing
stock. The most prominent racing
men kept away from the meeting
and it was plainly demonstrated that
the men who started the Jockey
Club have outlived their usefulness
and lost interest in keeping up an
institution which has proven bene-
fetal to all raisers of fine stock and
to the country.
If the old Jockey Club is "tired"
aud wishes to retire and disbsnd let
it be known. Another club may be
formed which probably will be COM
posed of men, not belonging per-
haps to the dancing exclusive" So
ciety OF the present Jockey Club,
but knowing more about horses and
races than any one OF the "exclu-
sives" who now try to smother horse
racing in Honolulu. Although the
meeting Of the Jockey Club of old
was not enthusiastic, it is to be
hoped that there are enough sports
in the islands owning good horses,
to secure success of the old ma
tional racing day, the 18th of June,
even if the races have to take place
on the Kamoiliili road.

BEET SUGAR VS.. RECIPROCITY.

The "Pacifc Rural Press" for
February 9th, has very interesting
paper on beet culture and sugar
manufacture in California. The sue
cess OF the beet sugar industry in
California and some thirteen other
States Of the United States which
have the requisite soil and climate
to produce beets Of the required
saccharine strength and purity, is
menace to the sugar industry in Ha-
waii, as the American sugar pro-
ducer will, naturally, oppose both
the commercial and political feat
ures of the treaty OF reciprocity now
existing between the two countries.
The figures given will be OF interest
to the sugar producers OF Hawaii
for other reasons than those already
alluded to.

factories in Germany in statements
for 1896, showing dividends Of 30
percent and 1S percent respectively.
Mr., e. @. Burr, manager OF the
Alvarado Sugar Factory, weil-kuowD
to several of our sugar people, in a
communication to the newspaper
containing the article under con-
sideration, says: but the
industry has all its cloudy seasons,
and factory that one year makes
% percent can The next year make q
loss. This blessed climate
OF California is tickle, aud although
we may have pleasant dry weather
up to November, we all know that
there have been heavy rains in Sep
tember. Take for instance a leaf
from my note book for 1894: Aver
age percent sugar in beets for Sep
tember, 1876; for October, 1913; Nov
ember, 10S; for December, 105.
While for 1898 for the same months
it was respectively 1874, l4.4, 147,
149 percent. In 1898 we had light
showers, but in 1894 we had on Sep
tember 28th u inches of rain, fol-
lowed two weeks later by another
storm OF 2 inches. Hence,
although factory may in one year
pay 25 or so percent on its capital,
it is not 10 be depended on. Il \
What then, does stand in tho way
OF further development of the in
dustry2 Nothing, except lack of
rational protection on the part Of
the Government. A pro-
tective duty Of u cents pound, as
is at present talked OF, ID in reality
no protection to the industry in
California, owing to the free entry
of Hawaiian sugar. As long as the
Reciprocity Treaty with Hawaii
exists, there can be no protection in
specific or other duty. This treaty
should be modified as to sugar, or,
if the treaty must be maintained Tor
political reasons, then a bounty
should be paid the domestic pro-
ducer, OF this l am confident. That
the beet sugar industry is perma-
nently established in this country,
although it may be some little time
before our lawmakers give the sup
port it merits"

An Explo.ion Like an Earthquake.

Chesterfield, Ind, was almost wiped
off the map at an early morning hour
by the explosion of 81 quarts of nitro
glycerin which had been placed in an
open field half mile from the town.
james Colds house, 800 rods distant,
was torn to pieces. The explosion tore
a hole in the ground down to the water
line, | a three-ton engine was torn
to fra ,nents. Marion Mansey and
Sam Mcguire were working at gas
we'll near by and Mansey was thrown
so feet, but not fatally injured, while
Mcguire was thrown 100 feet in the
air and b IDLY injured, but will recover.
Inc little town of Cheste rfield is a
mass of ruins, every house was moved
from its foundation, windows shattered,
doors smashed in, every light put out,
and the plastering shaken sfrom the
walls. Several people were shaken
out of bed. At Dalesville, two miles
away, and at York town, fine miles dis
Jant, the damare was almost as great.
Many people were injured, and it is a
miracle that none were killed outright.
The jar was felt for Is miles in all di-
rections. The gas in the well was
blown out and a workman named
Cooper lit it and caused another explo-
sion in which he was fatally burned.
The damage cannot be estimated.

Her Debut Into Politics.

From the Kansas City Journal: In
1890 the Farmers alliance sprang into
existence and Mrs. Lease wanted her
husband to join the movement and
become a politician. But he declared
that he was not Of the stuff of which
politicians are made and suggested
that she 60 into 1t herself and leave
him in peace. Mrs. Lease had never
thought Of entering politics, but she
consented to try 1t. How, when and
where to get the first speech OF was
the puzzle. Finally neighbor, Dixon.
was taken into the deal and he arrang-
ed It so that Mrs. Lease could appear
before the next Farmers alliance
county convention and make talk.
She was there on the appointed day.
and as soon as her name was mem
toned she rose and made bee line
to the stage. Her maiden speech, they
say, was a stemwinder. She was the
sensation of the hour, and before that
campaign was over Mrs. Lease was
the best advertised politician in Kan
:sas."

writing from India regarding the theo-
ry that the jugglers perform their tricks
by will power" says: During the
course of the Indian mutiny made the
acquaintance of one of these gentlemen
of India. who tried to instruct me how
to perform these tricks. He said 1t
was all imaginary on the part of the
spectators, as he simply willed that
they should see these things. The most
exciting performance that he gave for
my amusement was the converting of
a bamboo stick into q native servant,
who waited at table and supplied our
wants. Afterward-in his absence-I
tried 1t on and to my surprise the same
man was before me asking for instruc-
lions. directed him to Ali the chat

the well in the compound. This he
proceeded to do. When he had filed

agination. 1t seemed that the bunra.
low would be washed away. Finding
that ] could not arrest or stop his
movements, he passing through me az
though did not exist,1 drew my sword
and lay In wait for him. Making a
slash, I apparently cut him in twain,
when, 10! there were two men bringing
IN the water. neither of whom l could
restrain or prevent from doing so. I
was completely out of my depth, when
heard quiet laugh behind me. and
on turning found 1t was my instruct
or, who held up his right hand and the
two men disappeared, the stick resum-
ing its place In the veranda, and. to
crown all, there was not the slightest
sign OF any water having been brought
in. l excitedly appealed to him for
an explanation. He said that he had
been present all the time, having willed
that he should be invisible to me, and
that should imagine myself to see and
DO what | though had taken place. IN
order to prove It, he asked me to step
out into the compound and directed
my attention to a huge cavern, which
knew was not there before. As 1
entered number Of huge elephants
and camels issued from II In a contin-
uous stream, yet could not touch one
OF them. They apparently passed over
me as though I did not exist. He
again raised his hand and the cavern
and animals disappeared and there was
no induction of an exodus of any kind"
