Numerous Accidents In
Kauai Borders.
But the Round of Social Life
Goes On Most
Happily.

KEALIA. Kauai, Feb. "a very
pleasant social hop was given by the
Living Questions Club" at Kalapaki.
Lihue, last Saturday, which proved 10
be the social event of the week Mes
danes c. II. Bishop, H. G. Boswell and
". T Lucas, the committee in charge
of the affair, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Lyd-
gate and other members of the club,
are entitled TO credit for the very pleas
ant evening enjoyed by a large num-
Der of the most prominent society peo-
pie of the neighborhood. "Kalapaki,"
the very pretty beach house. belonging
to Senator VIM. H. Rice, was tastefully
decorated for the occasion, the club be-
ing indebted to the courtesy of VIM. H.
Rice. Jr., for the use of the premises.
This club is literary society, organ
lied by Rev. Mr.. Lydgate some three
months ago, and numbers among its
members many of the leading citizens
of the, district, who meet weekly for
the review and discussion of the lead
ing topics of the day throughout the
world and has developed into quite
y. y
Rev. Mr.. Lydgate read an interesting
and instructive paper on the Panama
Canal" which he illustrated by colored
views and plans of the work, made by
himself.
Mrs. Ernst Lindermann. most en-
thusiastic member of the club, has in
vited the members to a picnic up the
beautiful Wailua River next Saturday.
An ENJOYABLE outing is Anticipated. q
There has been a succession of mis-
haps at three prominent mills of this
island during the past fortnight. At
Kealia a broken or loOsened roll, for
warded to Honolulu for repairs per
James Makee last Thursday, this being
the first time that steamer has been
able to make her moorings at Kappa
for nearly three weeks, owing to the
very rough weather. At Lihue, broken
12-ton steel roll and the return bar.
The Mikahala made a special trip to
bring the new roll to this mill, arriving
at NawiliwiIi last Sunday, but owing
to rough weather was unable to land
it until Thursday, the 25th. AT Kaloa,
broken roll, said to be the largest
on the island, caused a shutdown of
the mill for several days.
There is a proposition under consid-
Grafton to establish an ice plant at
Lihue. AS it is in the hands of repre-
sentative business men of the district,
it will undoubtedly become an actuality
at no distant date.
The weather has moderated very con-
siderably during the last 4S hours, this
being a most charming and perfect
day. The wind is light and from the
northward.

KIMBERLY DIAMOND MINES.

Some very interesting particulars
concerning the Kimberly diamond
mines were given by Professor Crookes
in the course of a recent lecture at the
Imperial Institute. After full descrlp-
ton of the working of the diamond
mines. the lecturer mentiond that the
four principal mines employed about
5000 persons. of whom 1900 were whites
and $500 blacks. From two to three
million carats of diamonds were turned
out of the De Beers mines in year,
and up to the end of 1892 ten tons OF
diamonds valued at 10000 900, had
come from those mines. In 1895 there
were found 2.435, 541 carats of diamonds,
realizing e3,105,95S, at an expenditure
of e1.7O4.S13. and leaving profit OF
81 4O1 145. The De Beers Company
could raise more diamonds than were
represented by these figures, but 1t had
been found that the demand for the
stone did not exceed or AZ millions
sterling annually, and the output was
accordingly restricted in order to main
tain the price. Large diamonds were
not so uncommon as was supposed
Stones weighing over an ounce Q5l.5)
carats were not infrequent at Kimber-
ley. and the largest found so lar IN
that mine weighed 42S1a carats in the
rough and 22S1b carats after being cut
The largest known diamond, weighing
go carats. was found at the Jagers-
fontein mine. and was now being cut al
Amsterdam.

MORE JAP STUDENTS.
Large Number Arrive on Satur-
day-Placed in Quarantine.

NJticii
The Japanese steamer Shinshin Maru
arrived Saturday morning with 665 i'm
migrants. AS there seemed to be some
irregularity regarding the manner of
their leaving Japan, it was decided by
Collector General Castle not to allow
the men TO land until everything was
thoroughly investigated.
Chester A. Doyle, official Japanese in
Executive Council, and Port Surveyor
Stratemeyer boarded the steamer in
the stream, and found from the mani
fest that there were Z saloon and Cos
Isteerage passengers. As the vessel was
so crowded it was found impossible to
make a searching investigation, and
Mr.. Stratemeyer decided to order all
the passengers into quarantine, as the
alien law provides that landing at that
station does not constitute q landing in
the Hawaiian Islands, in the strict
sense of the word. This order was so
modified later that the officers and sa-
loon passengers were PERMITTED to land
at the wharf and go up town.
1t is believed that some of the i'm
migrants will attempt to land as free
laborers without being possessed of the
sum of $50, and to prevent any Juggling
with the law the immigrants will be
examined individually today bN the
Customs authorities, with Chester A.
Doyle as interpreter. The steamer and
passengers are consigned TO the Kobe
immigration Company.

The National smngerfest.

The National Saengerfest, or German Song
Festival, to be held in Philadelphia week of
June 21st to 26th will undoubtedly be one of
the greatest mugical festivals ever held in the
United States. Besides the prize contests by
singing societies from all parts of the country,
there will be grand concerts by some of the
greatest soloists now known, assisted by an
immense, well-tmined chorus of 5000 voices.
There will be a parade of the United Societies,
several picnics and open-air concerts. The
entire week will be given up to mirth, music
and song. The Philadelphia and Reading
Railway has placed on sale, at all its stations,
Special Excursion Tickets to Philadelphia,

OUR exchanges, both Republican

the latter imagine the majority in
Pennsylvania will be Democratic this

is all right, but several of the mem

The public schools of town closed
this week for the term, and last even
ing the commencement exercises of
the High school were held in Fergu-
sons theatre The members of the
eraduating class acquitted themselves
. manner that not alone reflects
redit upon the local instructors, but
shows that the scholars have been
close students during their advanc
ment from the first grade primary to
the close of their career in school
The annual commencement exer-
cises bring to mind many thoughts
The whole aim of the school is to
prepare the pupils for the active
work they themselves must do. 1t is
work Of much interest, but of little
importance except it may have served
the purpose above stated. Not only
the pupil, but sometimes the teachers
forget this important fact the latter
setting an undue value upon branches
of education that may readily be ac-
Urel through reading after the
student has left school, and too little
npou the exercises which are to pre-
pare him for doing work without
guidance or assistance.
The kinds of knowledge to be OBJ
taiued by reading and memorizing,
observation and application thereto
of ha powers of reason, says the
Baltimore Sun, are much less depen-
deut upon the skill or zeal of the
teacher than upon the diligence, at
tention and native intelligence of the
pupil Hence it may be fairly said
that no amount of variety of knowl-
edge acquired by the student at the
close of his career in school can com
pensate him for any deficiency in
these fundamental studies Unless
he can read and write fuently and
correctly and has n good knowledge

tic as a matter of course) ne has not

ment' day-the day when he goes

battle with the world.
1t is desirable, of course, that he
should have in addition to these es-
sentials other kinds of knowledge,
but he can gain such knowledge out
side of school if he be given the keys
OF learning. He could learn this
from observation as well as from
theory, for inumerable great men
have fought their way painfully to
distinction for knowledge and ability
with scanty school preparation for
their commencement of life. And yet
it is necessary at times to call atten-
tion to the long recognized truth for
the reason that the ambition of
teachers and school directors tends
toward such multiplication of
studies that the fundamentals are
more or less neglected.
1t is customary on commencement

THE covert attack in Coyle's un-

Mahanoy City's most upright and
honorable citizens is one of the most
dastardly in the annals of journalism

Chicago, June 19.--Chailes w. spald-
Ing, ex-presldent Of the defunct Globe
Savings bank and ex treasurer OF the
State university, was yesterday ac-
quilted of the charge OF embezzlement.
The verdict was general surprise, as
the Instructions Of the court to the jury
left scarcely any chance for an ac-
quittal. The first words uttered by
spalding after the verdict had been
read in court were "Well, this is Il
surprise"
The specific charge against him was
the converting OF $1,000 worth Of the
bonds Of the Pittsfeld school district.
in Pike county. These bonds were
hypothecated with the Metropolitan
National bank, Of this city, to secure a
loan OF $6,75O. Spalding owes his ac-
quittal to a single word In the statute.
That word is interest" The jurors
could not become reconclled to the
proposition that the ex-treasurer of the
University Of Illinois Intentionally em-
bezzled the bonds of that institution.
After being taken back to Jail Spald-
ing sa II must admit that It did
surprise me some at first. After all,
the jury took the view Of 1t urged by
my counsel, and as the prosecution
showed no criminal intent the jury was
bound to acquit me-"

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So
the womb like the bladder, was created for
one purpose and if not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or diseased, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder therefore any pain,
disease or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble Of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set you
urine aside for twenty-four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder
trouble. The mild and the extraordinary
effect Of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-R Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy is soon
realized. If you need a medicine you should
