Poi for Chicago.

The Hampton (Va.) Bulletin says
that seven tons of taro are on the way
to Chicago, and that city will be the
distributing center for a new food
which has just been imported from the
Hawaiian Islands. This is the first
shipment of the taro root to the Unit
ed States for general use. It's introduc-
tion has caused no small interest. 1t
has been prepared carefully, and is in
tended for the sick and young chill
dren especially. 1t possesses a large
amount of nutrition. Poi has been
used by two families in Chicago. The
flour made from the root is grayish
blue color, is slightly granulated and
has pleasant taste. 1t its native coun-
try it is eaten raw or with water, but
foreigners use it as they do corn starch.
1t is considered much more nourishing
than the latter article of food.

WORKING FOR A CABLE.
British Capitalists Hold Meeting in
Vancouver.

VANCOUVER, B. c., September e.
The following-named telegraph mag
mates held a closed meeting today in
Vancouver in connection with the pro-
posed cable line from Vancouver to
Australia: George G. Ward, vice
president and general manager of the
Commercial Gable Company; S. S.
Dickinson, superintendent of the COM
pany at Canso, Nova Scotia, where the
Canadian Pacific line connects with
the Atlantic cable; X. V. Dey, secre-
tary to President John w. Mackay; J.
Wilson, Pacific Coast superintendent of
Canadian Pacific telegraphs; l.. w.
Storror, superintendent Pacific Postal
Telegraph Company.
After the meeting no news of di-
rect nature could be obtained regard
ing the business transacted, but state
ments were freely made that inside in
formation obtained warranted the an
nouncement that a Canadian Pacific
cable from Vancouver to Australia
would be an assured fact at compare
lively early date, and that the present
meeting had to do with some very i'm
portant preliminary arrangements in
which Millionaire John w. Mackay is
to take very prominent part.
Mr.. StOrror stated that his company
would, of course, handle the Pacific ca
BILE work at this end, and that he, with
others, would inspect the proposed
landing stages in British Columbia at
once. The entire party will leave for
Victoria tomorrow. 1t is said that some
of the members will be passengers on
the outgoing Australian boat for Ha-
wall Many other indications that the
long-proposed British scheme is about
to materialize are promised to occur in
quick succession.

Princess Kaiulani To Leave England
I'm October.
NEW YORK, September 3. - The
Suns Washington special says: Prin-
cess Kaiulani, who would have been
Queen of Hawaii If the Islands had re-
mained under the monarchy, will re-
turn to America from England next
month on her way to Honolulu.
She has just completed her educa-
tion. A letter was received recently at
the Treasury Department from Liliuo-
kalani, containing a request that the
courtesies usually extended represen-
tatives OF foreign countries on landing
in America be granted the Princess.
This means facilitation in the exami-
nation of baggage and the avoidance OF
delay in getting il through the Custom
House. The Treasury Department
postponed answering this letter, as
Kaiulani will not reach New York for
more than month and today a repe-
tition of the request was received. The
Department will probably direct the
Collector of Customs at New York to-
show the Princess the courtesy extend
ed TO distinguished visitors, but not to
recognize that she has any official sta
tus. Liliuokalani is living quietly at
the Washington Hotel with her atten-
dants, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Heleluhe.

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAC

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
in the heart of the Sierras, almost at
| the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist. The eligibil-
| ity of the place selected was due to
rare combination of flowing water, in
| spring mountain scenery and inviting
| forests
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
| splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
| a sumemr resort for health, recreation,
outdoor sports. sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively a family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations
To this end rooms on the first and sec
ond floors of this splendid taXern with
board will be furnished at monthly
rate of $50 a person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at a monthly
rate of $50 a person.
The accommodations of the Tavern
are first class in every particular. It's
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
ious. Its verandas are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery TO be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting. fishing, riding, BIZ
cycling. walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento. thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at o'clock D. m. arriv-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning. the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. Thus both in going and in COM
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy OF his time have been
studied. In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and IS the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

sacrifice much of his time to society.
He had one great advantage-he never
consented to spoil his dinner by max
ing, or, what is still worse, by having
to make, a speech.
1 once felt greatly aggrieved, sitting
opposite Browning at one of the Royal
Academy dinners. l had to return
thanks for literature and scholarship,
and was, of course, rehearsing my
speech during the whole Of dinner time
while he enjoyed himself talking to his
friends. When l told him that it was a
shame that l should be made a martyr
of while he was enjoying his dinner in
peace, he laughed, and said that he had
said no once for all, and that he had
never in his life made a public speech. l
believe. as rule, poets are not good
speakers. They are too careful about
what they wish to say. Still l felt it was
hard on me, and l became more and
more convinced of the chronological
identity of honor and onus.
At last my turn came. Having to
face the brilliant society which is always
present at this dinner, including the
Prince of Wales, the Ministers of both
parties, the most eminent artists,
scientists, authors and critics. had, of
course, learned my speech by heart, and
was getting on very well, when sud

Everybody saw you were collecting your

delivering what you had learned by
heart. Besides, it did not last half
minute" To me it had seemed at least
five or ten minutes. But after Brown
ing's good-natured words / felt re-
lieved, and enjoyed at least what was
left of a most enjoyable dinner.
The best place to see Browning was
Venice, and 1 think it was there that
saw him for the last time. He was
staying in one of the smaller palaces
with friend, and he was easily persua-
ded to read some of his poems. I asked
him for his poem on Andrea del Sarto,
and his delivery was most simple and
yet most telling. He was a far better
reader than Tennyson. His voice was
natural, sonorous and full of delicate
shades, while Tennyson read in SO deep
a tone that it was like the rumbling and
rolling sound of the sea rather than like
a human voice. His admirers. both
gentlemen and ladies, who thought that
everything he did must be perfect, en-
couraged him in that kind of delivery;
and while to me it seemed that he had
smothered and murdered some of the
poems 1 liked best, they sighed and
groaned and poured out strange inter-
jections, meant to be indicative OF rap
