SCORED A SUCCESS
Lawn Party and May Day
Celebration.
Cleaners Entertain a Large Num-
Der Of People-Castie Lawn
Scene of Caiety.

The Cleaners gave their lawn party
and May-day celebration on the
grounds of the home of Mr.. w. r. Cas-
tie Saturday afternoon, when a de-
lightful time was spent by all who at
tended. The grounds were very pref
tily decorated, and the various booths
and stands, placed as they were, made
a scene good for the eyes to gaze up
on. The Hawaiian Band. stationed at
the Waikiki corner, furnished music
from to D. m. Undoubtedly the in
clement weather and another good rea-
son kept many people from attending,
but 10 prove that a large number of
people were present, it might be stat
ed that, so far. the sum of S35S.15 has
been collected. More money will come
in day or so. The Cleaners should
have something over $500 in the treas
ury when all bills are paid. For last
years party the expenses were $50
That was very heavy and it is not be-
lieved that this years debts will
amount to much more than $50.
In mentioning the various booths
and tables it might be well to start
from the gateway. Just to the right
and near the fence was the candy
booth. and opposite it the soap bub-
bles for the children. Up to the right
was another booth, decorated with
scarlet carnations and maiden-hair.
This was very pretty and attractive
spot.
The refreshment tables. near the
house. were neatly set. Next to this
was the flower stand, and next the tea
booth, made up of three large Japan
csc fans. moored TO the ground, and
wound round and round with sprays
of the jasmine vine. Under these as
canopy, tea was served.
The fancy table was to have been
set out on the lawn, but the inclement
weather prevented such proceeding, so
the lanai was used instead.
The baby show was, perhaps, the
most amusing thing of the afternoon.
The tent for this part of the after
moons proceedings was the farthest
back. 1t was here that over 50 babies
were placed in turn on a high chair,
and only their faces allowed to show.
The Guessing was pretty spirited. All
sorts of funny things took place. Fol-
lowing were the committees in charge
of the Cleaners lawn party:
Fancy Table: Miss Parke presiding
Mrs. E. c. Damon. Mrs. w. F. Frear,
Miss Day and Miss Margaret Hopper
assisting.

farmer will have profit of $25 an acre
on his paintings.
1t is the intention of the projectors
not to confine the output of the factory
to sugar alone The Planter says:
\ beet sugar factory with a daily
capacity Of $50 tons is to be erected in
or very near the city of Omaha during
the coming summer.
The company which is to accomplish
the object so long sought by the resi-
dents of this part of the State was in
corporated few days ago and is
known as the Nebraska Sugar Com
pany. The authorized capital stock of
the company is S350.000, and il is pro-
vided that the company NAV COM

scribed for stock.
In connection with the machinery
for the manufacture of sugar from the
pulp of the sugar beet. there will be
complete machinery for the manufac-
ture of syrup. high-wines and vinegar.
Machinery for the manufacture of glu-
cose will also. be added, and in this
manner the factory will be kept in
active operation the year round.

be somewhat of a surprise to our
own people, as comparatively few
were aware that one years impor-

thousand dollar mark. In view of
the new lease of life the bicycle
trade has taken recently, it is safe
to estimate that the exports to Ha-
waii for the year ending June 80,
80 will be nearly twice that of the
previous year. We have often re
marked that the manufacturers in

The exhibition last night was pre-

of the gymnasium. First on the pro-

and pleasing manner and was con-

is of benefit to the boys. For this
drill and the dumb bell drill by the
young men. W. l. Fletcher the Associ-
alton pianist officiated at the instru-
ment and helped TO make the drills
very inspiring. The dumb bell drill
was an example of the body building
work and showed an all-round and
very profitable exercise. Six of the
junior members contested in an Indian
club race. that was quite exciting.
Master Walterson was the champion
of the evening.
The most skillful exhibition of the
evening was the performance on the

While the japanese are often
spoken of as imitators, the soldiers
of the war with China may, if re-
ports are correct, be credited with
being decidedly original. 1t is said
they have petidoned their govern
ment to erect a memorial in honor
of the horses which helped to win
the japanese victories. The object
of this silent witness to the useful
ness of equines is to encourage pa
triotic men to give more attention
to horse-breeding. This is only an
other evidence that the japanese
are bound to go ahead in spite of
the fact that some of their methods
may elicit passing smile from Eu-
ropeans.

The Boston Herald quotes "a
manufacturer of advanced age and
long experience" as predicting
that the tariff bill will not be pass
ed before the first day of October.
This is not a happy outlook for
Hawaii or the United States for
that matter On the other hand,
at the end of the third days tariff
discussion in the Senate, Senator
Vest called attention to the fact
that more work had been done in
three days than had been accom-
phshed in any previous tariff de-
bate in three weeks. The predic-
tions on the tariff seem to be re
gulated largely by the personal
hopes of the prophet or the condi-
ton of his digestive apparatus.
After all it is a good deal like a
horse race. You put up your
money and await results.

1t Is said that Senator Tillman
sends cold chills down the backs
Of his brother Legislators when he
launches out on one Of his critical
speeches. This Is due not 50 much
to the fear of Senator Tillman as
10 the fact that he dares TO ride
rough shod over the time honored
manners Of speech OF the United
State Senate. Tillman's influence
can hardly be put down as so thor
oughly bad as the majority of his
critics make out. He at least
brings his fellow members in close
touch with line Of thought that
is uppermost in the minds of a
good sized number of American
citizens. 1t Is by no means a bad
plan for the class of people he re
presents to have an outlet for their
pent-up feelings. The conserva-
tive element cannot expect. nor is
it always best for them, to always
have their own way in a country
governed by and for the people.

ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE.
Very Good Pictures But Waits
Were Long.

When the Hawaiian Opera House
opened Saturday night it looked very
much as though the subscription list
to the illustrated Magazine" C''Manao

to pay for getting ii out. and as is the
case with many sure-enough publica-
lions, the promoters would have 10 de
pend upon the advertisers to make up
the deficiency. But after two or three
pages had been turned. new names
were added to the subscription list IN
til il was quite full.
The magazine is interesting. but like
many Eastern publications, it is long
on illustrations and short on text. Par
ticular attention is given TO the adj
vertising columns. so that they were
quite as interesting, and amusing in
some instances. as the body of the
book. A suggestion to the publishers.
to the effect that the pages be cut, so
that they might be the more easily
and quickly turned. will not be amiss.
A wait of five or eight minutes is long
enough under any circumstances, but
when this is aggravated by an orches-
ira of violins and horns saving and
blowing out compositions that have
been played so many times in Honolu-
lu as to become execrable, the wait be-
tween the illustrations are painful
There is not fault to be found with
the illustrations; artistically arranged
and executed, in some instances. with
superabundance of action and life
like genuineness, they were indeed
pleasing to the eve. Take it all and all
the promoters of the "Manao Noeau
are to be congratulated on the sue
cess of their venture.

The bicycle has apparently
reached the point where 1t may
be regarded as one OF the neces-
sites Of modern life. The growth
of the bicycle trade in the United
States has been marvellous and the
demand shows no sign Of decrease.

chimes turned out for domestic use
the American manufacturers have
been doing a lively export business.

Honolulu should indulge in any
statements regarding harsh treat

premacy IN the ORIENT Is not re
mote possibility. The condition OF
affairs in Korea is far from salts
factory to Japan and it is suggest.
ed that the continued aggressive &C
ton of Russia viii lead to open
hoStilines. Comments upon Jap
ans ability to cope with great
European Powers bear a marked
similarity to those made previous
to the opening Of the war with
China. Those who scott at the pro
liability Of japan asserting itself,
compare Russian millions with
japanese thousands, they also
make light Of the japanese navy
when compared with the modern
ships and trained fighters Of Rus
STA.
1t Is a strange and possibly a
significant fact that the journals
OF England are the leaders in say
ing a good word for Japan. The
St, James Gazette gives consider
able prominence TO a series OF arti-
cles to the effect that the chaotic
state Of affairs in Korea is due 10
the check held upon Japan. Russia
Is credited with allowing the king
and government Of Korea to con
nnue in their corrupt methods,
while Japan would, if allowed a
free hand, introduce justice and
equity. Japan's real strength IS
said TO be in it, freedom from cor
rupnon.
The London Saturday Review
dwells upon this point and also re-
marks that the character OF Russia
in Europe and Russia in East Asia
must be dealt with separately.
That Russia Is a more formidable
antagonist than China Is admitted,
but, ju& as Japan overcame the
latter because of the rouenness and
corruption Of Chinese administra-
ton. 50 she will have some advan-
rage from the same cause in a
struggle with the former. There is
corruption in every branch of Rus
sian administration, from the most /
exalted bureau to the humblest dis I.

more evident the further we get |
from the center of government. /
Everywhere one meets with scamp /

those Of another power, II viii be |
found that the same policy has
been at work to diminish the fight |

This Is a view Of the situation
seldom taken into consideration. |
The intense loyalty of the Japan
csc place them among the best
fighters. The japanese govern
ment Is already busy increasing Its
navy and cultivating financial |
friendship with Great Britain.
With the improvement in naval ar
that viii be brought about
in a year or two. together with the |
moral support of Great Britain,
Japan could indeed muster a
fighting force that would keep
Russia on the move.
