were her passengers.
The sealing schooner Agnes Macdon-
aid came off the ways last night, and

and on all forenoon, while the skipper
was settling up his affairs ashore. Dur
ing her stay in port the Macdonald has
had her rudder replaced, lot of new
copper put on and lot of miscel-
laneous repairs, requiring four days
time, and yet her bill was under $500.
When the schooner was off shore she
had the appearance of a fine pleasure
yacht. She is built after a Burgess
model, and was really intended for
racer. They say she is the most grace
full craft ever in the harbor.

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

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
tleman 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 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 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 want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, 1t has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval OF most eminent
physicians
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling n laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, AS they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneiicially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

"Allied to the religious objection is
the objection that the introduction or
Sunday cars would pave the way for
Sunday amusements of various kinds,
for the adoption of what is called the
continental Sabbath and in this con-
nection we are referred to the expert
ence of cities on the other side OF the
line where Sunday cars are found In as
ISOLATION with theaters, beer gardens,
base ball games, etc. Here, while we
would not undertake to say that the
introduction of Sunday cars would
have no effect upon the general observ-
ance of the day. we think that 1t Is
carrying the argument too far to say
that Sunday cars are the cause of all
the customs with which they are some
times found associated. A community
which wants Sunday theaters and beer
gardens will certainly insist on Sum
day cars; but it does not follow that
a community which wants the cars will
insist on the theaters and beer gardens.

sidering the position OF the people Of

published by the Appletons). The theme
of this book is the barter and sale of YAM
kee wOmanhood in exchange for foreign
titles which goes on in uninterrupted regu-
larty in the higher social circles of New
York and other large American cities; but
we cannot see that the author had added
anything of particular moment to the al
ready ample controversial literature on
this subject. and certainly her book is not
intrinsically important as a story. The
characters in it are all men or women of
straw; and the tone is abhorrently realis-
tic. We suspect that it did not need Ger
trude Atherton's pen to establish that the
American mother who plots to trade her
daughter for social distinction is morally
not one bit above the depraved creature
who sells the virtue of her offspring for
money; or that the petted darling who
knowingly consents to the trade and in
trigues for and encourages it is really in
finitely worse than the ignorant and way
ward damsel of the strets.

TROUTING ON THE RIO RUI-
DOSO, NEW MEXICO.

Trout" Well, you just bet!
The sweetest trout you over met.
Yes, genuine speckled mountain trout,
And anyone can yank them OUT.
Easy as winking. Just you try
The Ruidoso with a fly,
Or bug, or worm, or anything,
And see how quick you'H catch a string
So spoke the bright New Mexican
And fired his PARTY, to man,
With dreams of speckled beauties fried
And broiled-and heaps of fun besides.
And so they struggled day by day
Along the rough and arid way
Until at last they all gave thanks
BY Ruidosos vCrdant banks
Then Lathrop's sportmans heart beat
high
And rapture shone in Gillam's eye,
Gay as a youngster Just from school
The colonel found a favorite pool
The staid and stately commodore
Approving, walked the grassy Shore
And Dickinson forgot his fat
Left off his coat and cooked his hat.
And trudged the grove with caution great
In efforts vain to shoot some bait.
Harmon and Hawkins pleasure saw
In striving to teach each other law
And armed themselves in other scenes
To catch their fish by legal means.
To give each guest complete content.
And Simpson curled beneath tree
Said, This is good enough for me-
Meantime the fishers faithful hshed.
They dropped, and tossed. and threw, and
swshed.
They tried the fiy-Srass-hoppers tried,
Bugs, bits of meat. and lots besides,
But all in vain! No feck of fin,
No ginting of speckled skin.
No shadow darting I'm and out
Betrayed the presence of n trout,
A native who the anglers saw,
In spite of fate, in spite of law,
Approached the foremost fisherman.
What be you trying to catch?" "a
troutv'
The native answered with a shout,
"Well I'll be id
The fools amt altogether dead,
The fish we catches in these ,an's
BY gosh! they always comes in cans"
The fishers fled those fshless scenes
And ate lunch of French sardines.

MAY MAGAZINES.

Few recent issues of the Century have
equaled that for May either in the diver
sity or in the timeliness and uniform inter-
est Of the contents. In another direction
we have already directed attention to the
notable chapter Of secret history contribut-
ed in this number by General Schoteld
concerning the withdrawal of the French
from Mexico. a p0per on Crete by resi-
dent of Athens and General Porters in

ditional features of historical. character
Three papers on scientific kite flying will
he read with eagerness by all who wish
to be well informed on current scientific
p 'ogress. A review Of the Tennessee CEN
tennial and a chapter on bicycling
Through the Dolomites," with the usual
quantity of serial and short stories, poems,
editorial comment and miscellany, I'll! up
a generous measure Of literary instruction
and entertainment. What the Century is
for adults the May St. Nicholas is for
young folk.
The opening paper I'm the current Forum
is by Comptroller Roberts, of New York.
and IS a defense of the progressive inheri-
taDce tax lately passed by the Empire
state legislature. The papers by Editors
Miller and West on congressional subjects
Rave heretofore been reviewed in The
Tribune. A study Of the German Kaiser
by prominent Berlin journalist; a scath-
ing arralgnment by Thomas Davidson Of
Europe for its treatment of the Eastern
question and paper by the eminent man
ufacturer, George II. oliver, on "Indus-
trial Combinations" are additional feat
ures worthy Of note. The dozen papers in
this issue represent significant addition
to the controversial literature Of the day.

would pay interest on large outlay
perhaps on the entire cost OF a road.
4-Shrewd capitalists not long since
prepared to run railroad into this
country Just to tap the mountainous
beds OF gypsum. IL could probably
be done with proht at any time
6-There are twelve thousand people
whose supplies and products need
transporting. With a railroad their
number would quickly and largely in
crease.
There is n good mart of tho nonuls-
tlon OF an area larger than that of all
the Middle States together to be car
ried to and from the White Mountain
health and summer resorts, to say
nothing of inva,ids from all over the
country, and supplies for all Of them.
I-Such road would form an i'm
portant link in system that would
Drng Chicago 800 miles nearer by rail
10 El Pasc, and avoid almost every
thing In the way of heavy grades.
SO much for the business a road
could count on. The cost Of building
a railroad would be absurdly small,
Twenty miles at the El Paso end are
already graded, and about nine miles
laid with track. For more than one
hundred and thirty miles then the road
would be over a mesa as level as an
Illinois priarie. No costly rock work,
no bridges, no long trestles. Even the
last ten miles of the one hundred and
sixty present no difficulties to the rail-
road man-just easy mountain grades.
1t Is the cheapest proposition in rail-
road building ever saw-and the best.

REVIEWS.

The newest Crockett book is Lads
Love-" pIblisfe ed by the Appletons. 1t is
not to be compared in continuity Of plot
with "Clcg Kelly" but there are quaint
touches here and there that suggest what
this singuarly effective author can do.
The materials employed are a close-fisted
Scotch farmer with three marriageab.e
and incorrigibe daughters who entertain
masculine admirers surreptitiouSly, a
Cameonial neighbor whose son isn't good
enough for one of those daughters, some
addle pated lairds, peddler, poacher "a
betrayed girl, ETC.; in fact the usual in
gradients of melodrama of the moors.
These are shuffied together In whatever
manner suits the authors pleasure, but
while the result will bring down upon him
the censure of the critics. 1t will satisfy
any reader who is not overly fastidious
and run up a royalty account that we
would nightly like to have to our credit
in the bank.
After some silence, Guy Boothby,
through the Appleons, springs on the pub
lie another Oriental sumner, whose con-
tents are quite up to the pace set in "Dr.
Nikola" and indicated in the title OF the
present effusion. The Beautiful White
Devil" The devil" is a very accom-
psshed, fascinating and resourceful young
woman who rules over secret island i'm
the Pacific, owns a phenomenal boat by
means of which she ever and anon abducts
some rich Chinese mandarin, holds up
treasure ship or performs other feats su-
perior to anything Of which Captain Kidd
ever dreamed, always escaping from pur-
suit, and disports herself in ways too
novel to mention, When Dumas wrote
Monte Christie" he merely scratched the
surface of the ground that Boothby has
sowed in his novel We don't wonder that
the young doctor whom she hired to treat
the small poX in her island bailiwick fell
In love with this impossible creature an9
what is more, married her.
Gertrude Atherton has told us on num-
erous occasions that she enterta!ns the
utmost contempt for the American socisty
woman; yet she has presumably felt OBJ
liged to renew this information by means

EXTENDING THE TERM.
Mr.. George c. Bland. of King and
Queen. introduced two bills. proposing
amendments to the Constitution. which
are both in the line OF economy. One OF
these measures provides that members Of
the General Assembly be elected for four
years and to serve two terms. The sec
ond bill proposes TO merge the May cleo
tions with those OF November. The object
OF these proposed amendments is to save
expense to the commonwealth In con-
Quoting elections to prevent agita-
ton In the country.
Mr.. William G. Williams, OF Orange,
offered bill proposing to amend the Con-
stitution so as 10 reduce the membership
OF the House Of Delegates 10 not more
than sixty nor less than fifty delegates.
This would reduce the membership al
most half as at present the law provides
that there shall not be more than one
hundred nor less than ninety. IL would re-
quire the redistricting Of the State. but
no provision is made for this.
