"A DYING INDUSTRY.

Who would have thought during the
fifties that Honolulu would ever take
no interest in the whaling industry.
In those days people dreamed of moth
devoted to raising produce for the
whaling fleet. The slopes above Ka-
waibae in those days were covered
with potato patches, for the whalers.
Today not potato is raised there. la
haina, in the palmy days of the whal-
ing feet, was quite an important place,
and several of our wealthy citizens laid
the foundation of their fortunes in
that town. 1t was town in those
days, for the houses extended in an al
most unbroken line to Olowalu, a dis
lance of over seven miles. But with
the departure of the whaling industry
the houses have disappeared and where
once there was busy population
there is now nothing but snn-baked
earth, rocks, with a plover or so for
inhabitant. Lahaina itself is a SYM
phony in dry rot.
These thoughts are suggested by a
glance at the "Whalemen's chipping
List" That paper shows that the
whaling industry is dying slowly.
Sperm whaling now only employs fiji
teen vessels and all are cruising in tie
Atlantic. The right whale fishery last
year employed thirty-four vessels, of
which sixteen were steamers. OF these
twenty-four were in the Arctic. Their
success was not great. Three vessels
got nothing, six vessels secured one
whale each and the fifteen others took
among them fifty-nine whales. Of the
other ten vessels, five were in Hudson
bay and five in the Ol<hotsk and japan
seas. The latter got twenty-five
whales and the Hudson Bay contin-
gent contributed ten.
Were it not for mineral oil the price
of whale oil would be almost fabu-
lous For we certainly seem to have
used up our supply of whales. For
tunately for the world we have dis
covered another method of lighting
and when mineral oil diminishes in
quantity, as it must do in a century OF
two, our descendants will use electric
ity entirely, or, most probably will
have found something still better. II
is odd, however, to look at a practical
ly dead industry like that of whaling
and to think into what different walks
of life those who would have beer
whalers have had to go. 1t was pic
turesque calling, and full of wild ad
venture.

The rate of interest is falling
throughout the civilized world, which
is by no means a pleasing prospect for
those whose incomes depend upon in
vested capital-premising that the in
vestments are safe and not speculative.
Railroad bonds in the United States,
says the Philadelphia Enquirer
which years ago were issued at six and
seven per cent are being extended at
4 and Az per cent. So that the hold
ers of the bonds find their incomes
suddenly cut down from 35 to 43 per
cent. This will send money into the
speculative market and have the effect
of lowering the rate of interest there.
British Consols have lately sold as
high as ia per cent. They bear 2A
per cent interest, which is to be re-
duced to 2Ia per cent in 1908. Thus it
requires Il pretty considerable capital
to make any kind of an income out of
what Sam Weller called reduced
Counsels." Seeing the need of capital
here it is a pity the islands are not bet
ter known to this class of investors.
But our securities look too speculative
and yet they are far safer than many
of the schemes taken up.

A TALK ON CLEANLINESS.
MARCH 30, 1897.

1t is not often that people
in our line of business speak
about toilet soaps, but as the
handling of hardware, plows
and other implements soil the
hands and face, it is natural
that we, as well as others, use
soap.
We have a large stock of
soaps Of various kinds-too
large for our own consumption
for some time to cosle-and
will allow our patrons to take
advantage of our stock to sup
ply themselves.
The name of Colgate & Co.
is known the world over as
the makers of fine toilet soaps,
and when we offer Cashmere
Boquet and Jockey Club at
35c per cake, Glycerine, Rosa
dore and Honey for zoe per
cake, Rico and CASTLE at lOc
per cake, there should be no
hesitancy about buying them.
The same make of Demul-
cent shaving Soap is an assur-
ance Of superior quality, even
when we sell it at 1Oc per
cake.
Everyone is familiar with
the healing properties of Cuti-
cura soap. 1t confers on con-
sumers the greatest of human
blessings-a skin without a
blemish. Twenty cents per
cake is too cheap.
Medicated tar soap makes
an excellent shampoo as well
as a bath soap. Many use it
exclusively. You will find it
impossible to buy this soap
anywhere for less than 25c
per cake, except of us, where it
goes for 15c per cake.

After parleying for a while, Mr..
Grady took her into an adjoining room
and introduced her to one of The edi-
tors, ]. H. Oil, r%emarking that the gen.
tleman would be her superior officer
in future. She went to work-the first
woman ever employed on the Constitu-
ton staff. And she labored hard, sup
plying daily and Sunday matter in large
quantities. Then one day a romance
had an ending, and the pretty girl So
ciety editor and the young man editor
slipped away quietly down to Washing

style, returning to the Constitution Of

their work, the fair bride in her dainty

Miss Elizabeth Banks is a typical

at the slight figure and girlish face
that she is the American Girl" whose
fame has spread over England and has
been heralded with delight by her ad-
mirers on this side of the pond. While
thoroughly refined and ladylike, she is
full of push and ambition as ever was
the imperial Caesar. Miss Banks was
born in the East, but spent her life
at the home of her aunt in Wisconsin.
Here she passed her young days in
reading beneath the trees, in weaving
fairy of which she was her
W heroine. The aunt used to keep

A Political Traredy.

In July, 1895, Stefan Stambuloff, ex-
premier of Bulgaria, was murdered on
the streets in Sofia by three assassins,
who stopped his carriage and attack
ed him with knives. Three men ac-
cused of the crime, one of whom was
S~tambuloff's coachman, were tried by
a military tribunal at Sofia last month,
and two who were convicted were
sentenced to three years imprisonment.
A dramatic incident of the trial was the
charge made in open court by Madame
S~tambuloff, widow of the murdered
statesman, that the men on trial were
merely tools, and that the real MUIR
derers of her husband were the pres
ent government of Bulgaria.

PARTISAN LAWYE


Their Life Is Very Different from That
of the American Attorneys.
Lawyers in France, according to a
Rochester gentleman, who has just re-
turned from a three years s%ojourn in
Paris, do not have such an easy time
as they do in this country, says the
Rochester Union and Advertiser.
There, far from encouraging the bright
young men of the land to enter into
the legal profession, it would seem that
that they are discouraged and every
obstacle thrown in their path, the re-
suit generally being that it is only a
rich man who can be a lawyer. Under
the regulations at present in force"
says this Rochester gentleman, bar
r%isters, after they have kept their
terms, and passed a sort of three years
novitiate, during which they have the
title of advocate, but have no voice in
the deliberations of the council of dis
cipline, and are not inscribed on the
rolls, can plead during the three years
probation, but it is a sort of empty
privilege in nine cases out of ten. When
an eminent barrister in France en-
ploys a junior it is generally some one
ancribed on the rolls; should he en-
pIoy the probationer, the honor thus
accorded him must suffice. He does
not pay him. But he must live, and
here is where the problem comes in,
which is usually more easily solved
by the American or English young
lawyer than it is by his Partisan broth
er. In the first place, there is the out
lay for his gown, or beretta, which
comes close to so francs, unless he pre-
fers to hire it at the rate of 10 cents
per day. Then he must engage some
one to teach him department, for this
is an essential qualification in this
land, where King Etiquette rules with
an iron hand. The services of a pro,
fessor Of the conservatory must also
be called in to train his voice, unless
nature has been kind to him in thar
respect. But these expenses are mere
incidents, He must, above all, MOI
live in small chambers and rem dingN
offices. Poverty is a poor key to oper
the pockets OF his clients.

A DEER.
1t Was the Merriest Skating Party Eve,
Seen.


Seen.
We had gone up in the great bay near
the head of the lake, when some boys
and dogs, rummaging around in the
woods along the shore, started a deer
and chased it onto the ice, and we had
the most exciting chase Immediately
after that | ever took part in, says a
writer in the Minneapolis Journal. We
did not harm the animal, and had we
wished to do So we couldn't, for there
wasn't a gun in the crowd, but we
made him make the effort of his life"
before he broke through the trocha we
built around MIN and got away. When
we sighted him he was making straight
across the bay, which is five miles wide,
and the ice was so slippery that he
could not make anything like the usual
time Of his kind when they throw their
soul into their heels and scatter miles
behind them with an easy Indifference
most beautiful to witness.
We played wolf on him. Doe Spald-
ing, who vas riding the ice bicycle,
shot straight ahead and very soon
passed him and forced him to turn and
when he did turn there was a ring of
skaters all around him, and for an hour
he played with us very much as a four
legged seal might.
We got him running in a circle, but
we were unable to catch him, for every
time any n tried it that venturesome
indi yidual either failed TO get a hold on
him, or, succeeding, was hurled as from
a catapult along the ice, to the great
delight of all the rest. 1t was the
merricst skating party ever witnessed,
although the deer might not have seen
much matter for merriment in it.
But he was perfectly safe unless his
wind played out before ours did, of
which the event proved there was small
danger. One wing of the circular
trocha we had formed in the line got
out Of breath, and slowed up, a gap was
formed in the line, and the deer went
through it like a fash and the last we
saw Of him was hull down. and 60
ing as merrily as if freshly started.

The Worlds Jewish Population.

In a London publication, "The Year
Book for Jews" there are such statis-
tics as can be obtained of the Jewish
population in all the countries of the
earth. The compiler of the statistics,
Mr.. Joseph Jacobs, in summing up his
figures, makes it appear that there are
now about II, 900, 900 Jews in the world,
more than half of whom are residents
of the Russian empire and subjects of
the czar. There can be nothing more
than an estimate of the number of
Jews in the United States at this time.
1t has been greatly increased in recent
years by immigration from Europe, and
is now certainly beyond 1,000, 900. AS
many as $4,000 Russian and Polish
Jews have come to the United States
in the last fifteen years. The great ma
jority of them are residents of the
large cities of the country, among
which New York is the Jewish favor
ito. 1t is probable. that the next CEN
sus of the United States will contain
trustworthy statistics upon the sub
ject.

WIDOWS NOT AVAILABLE,

Marrying One Meant punishment In
the Old Times.
He had to be a bold man VIC married
a widow, for a few rude jokes and a
Gathering serenade were not the only
p~unishments awarded him, says Lip
pincott's. He was deprived of benefit
of clergy. Benefit of clergy was the
privilege claimed by priests to be tried
before the ecclesiastical courts, in
which offenders were nearly always
sure of acquittal. Laymen also en-
joyed the privilege if they possessed
the extremely small amount of knowl-
edge requisite for ordination. Read
ing and writing were at a premium
and a mar under sentence of death
who could read a psalm might plead
his clergy and escape the penalty of
having his height shortened by a
head" In the ages when the custom
originated learning was too rare and
precious to be destroyed. A man
might be a murderer, but if he were
the only man in town who could read
it was not e%xpedient to kill him. BY
the abuse of this privilege, however, it
came to be that a man in England
could commit murder, rapine or theft
and be absolved from punishment by
glibly reading a few words. This pre-
cious privilege, which was a license to
crime, was taken away from a man
who committed bigamy. A man who
had taken a widow to wife could no
longer kill or steal with impunity; he
had no longer benefit of clergy. The
unfortunate fact that his wife had had
another spouse rendered the living
husband amenable to the civil law.

The first is Mrs. J. H. Oil, who
is one of the most promising
of Southern poets, and the second is
Miss Elizabeth L.. Banks of Wisconsin,
who made the staid old English papers
take off their cap to her by her unique
Journalistic experiences. Mrs. Oil ac-
companies her husband, who is the
correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. They have taken a suite of apart
ments in one of the prettiest flats in
the city, and moved north all of their
household goods, setting up a new altar
in Washington, which they expect to
make their future home. Mrs. Oils
taste is evidenced in the dainty fur
nishings with which the rooms are
made bright and homelike, the polished
floors being covered with soft rugs, del
1cate bric-a-brac resting on the slender
tables and quaint desks, while the
tinted walls are full of etchings and
photographs, prominent among them
being many odd little conceits de-
signed by skillful hands to illustrate
some of the poems which have made
he writer famous.
Maude Andrews, her girlhood's name,
by which she is still known to the lit

old town of Washington, Georgia, a

is as full of romantic memories as an
ancient feudal castle. Here lived the

Fled TIrough Dynamite EInmes.

From the Denver Republican: Sara
toga (WyoJ dispatch: Two miners in
the Axis copper mine near this place
had a narrow escape from death yes
terday. They were working at the face
of a 200-foot tunnel, and between them
and the outlet was a tin warming mag
aZine containing thirteen sticks of dy-
Mantle under which was a lighted
candle. Suddenly the men noticed that
drippings from the candle had taken
fire and that the box containing dyna-
mite was ablaZe. For a moment the
men were paralyzed with fear. They
were afraid to run past the blazing box
OF explosives and equally afraid to re-
main where they knew the gas which
would accumulate from the burning
dynamite would smother them. Finally
concluded to run and were obliged to
cover their faces as they pushed
through the flames, which by this time
hlled the tunnel. The powder did not
explode, but was entirely consumed by
the fire. 1t took several hours to clear
the tunnel of the gases generated by
the burned dynamite.
