MEMBERS DEPART
Congressman Farewell to
Honolulu.
Large Crowd on the Wharf-Visi-
tors Well Pleased With What
They Saw.

I will remember my visit to Hawaii
as long as l live" said Congressman
Berry on the deck of the Australia yes
terday, "and I hope some day to come
back again. Some day you may be a
part of the United States; I hope so,
sincerely" Mr.. Berry, like all the 9TH
er members of the party, was loaded
down with leis, and Miss Berry-well,
she was a bank of sweet-scented posies.
As she stood at the rail waving fare
wells to the many acquaintances of her
visit, some one gave Professor Berger
the signal and the band played ''The
Kentucky Babe" out of compliment to
the young lady from Newport, Ken
lucky.
Representative Laudenslager and
his wife were both heavily laden with
leis, and were as busy as bees, shaking
hands with their friends. Mr.. Lauden-
slager's face was wreathed in smiles
when he said: Goodbye, boys; we
came this time unannounced, and we
may drop in on you again in the same
way. We have had a delightful visit,
and this scene today is one l shall al
ways remember. You have treated us
royalty, and l hope some time to con-
slider you as belonging to u.s."
When the ropes were cast off and the
steamer drifted slowly by the wharf,
the picture became a very animated
one. Leis were tossed to the wharf
and back again to the steamer ad
libitum. The only one of the party who
could not join in the pleasures was
poor Mrs. Dovener, who was taken i'll
at the luau at Waipio the day before.
She was reclining on a steamer chair
with the surgeon of the Bennington in
close attention upon her. Her condi-
tion was rather serious, and her
friends here thought it unwise for her
to leave.
Just before the steamer got away
from the wharf, Mr.. Laudenslager call
ed for three cheers for Hawaii, and
they were given with a will by every
one on the hurricane deck, after which
the people on the wharf cheered the
Congressman to the echo. Ministers
Damon, King, Smith and Hatch were
on the steamer to bid adieu to the Wis
itors. EX-Minister Lansing, Colonel
Fisher, w. H. Hoogs and many other
members of the Annexation Club, in
whose hands the entertainment of the
guests was placed, were on hand to
make the last moments of the party
on Hawaiian territory as pleasant as
possible. The visit was pleasant one
for the Representatives and for those
who came in contact with them.
The last two or three hours before
the departure of the steamer was spent
in visiting the various war-ships. The
members and their wives and daugh-
ters were the guests of Admiral Mil
Ter at luncheon on the U. S. S. PhiIa-
delphia, and did not leave there until
after 3 O'Clock, going in the ships
boats directly to the Oceanic dock.

thousand Chinese, and forty thousand
natives. These last need not be count
ed as they are rapidly being civilized
out of existence. The millionaires we
do not want, since the supreme court
has decided that we cannot apply the
income tax to them and we have
enough of our own. Besides, they are
said not to be a good breed of mil
lionaires, as they belong for the most
part to the Claus Spreckels variety,
which is much inferior to the Wander
bilt Astor Rockefeller species. The
Yale men we should like to annex, es-
pecially Professor Alexander, Lawyer
Judd and Mr. Carter. The Chinese,
Portuguese and japanese we do not
want either as citizens or as serfs, but
there they are, some of them actually
claiming rights. We cannot get the
climate without getting the inhabit-
ants viii it pay? 1t would be as well
to examine the property pretty closely
before making the bargain.

Work in organizing the Y. NJ. c. A.

Most of the people who have entered
the classes are Woodworking men who
do not care to allow any good oppor-
tunities of obtaining useful knowledge
to slip away from them. Up to yester-
day afternoon 80 had entered, and in
each class the following number have
enrolled: Geography and writing, Z;
reading and spelling, Z; shorthand, II;
typewriting, 8; arithmetic and gram
mar, IA; civil government and COM

5; bookkeeping, 10; Hawaiian Ian
guage, 8.
Bookkeeping leads, with shorthand
next. In civil government and COM
mercial law, more have signified their
intention to join the classes. The to-
tai enrolment is 80 at present.
In the elementary branches, arith-
metic and grammar will come on Mon
days, reading and spelling on Wednes-
days and geography and writing on
Fridays.
In the business branches bookkeep-

o. R. & L. ACCIDENT.
Two Natives Entirely to Blame
for Their Death.

It now develops that the two ma
tives, whose deaths resulted by being
thrown from one of the cars of the
o. R. & L. Co. recently, were entirely
to blame; also, that they were en-
ployed by the plantation. This testi-
mony comes not only from disinter-
ested witnesses in the case. but from
relatives of the men themselves. Hay-
ing been repeatedly told to obey GER
tain rules for their own safety. they
chose to become careless, and death
was the result. In Marshal Browns
investigation, it was proven beyond
doubt to his mind that no person or
persons were to blame but the deceased
themselves. The statement that the
Marshal went down to further investi-
gate the matter on Tuesday is erron-
eous. He was with the party that went
down to the luau at Waipio and was
accompanied by Mrs. Brown.
1t is the intention of the o. R. 81.
Co. now to make a rule to the effect
that any employe disobeying orders de-
signed for their own safety will he
forthwith discharged from the com
pany.

At the Hotel.

One of the finest dinners and
dances ever held at the Hawaiian Hotel
was given last night as farewell to
the guests departing on the Australia
this afternoon. The halls of the hotel
were prettily decorated with palms
and large ferns. The dining hall was
also decorated, palm leaves gracing
the doors and windows and punches
of ferns decorating the walls. Vases of
flowers were on the various tables.
The band began to play at 7::3O o'clock,
and when the middle of the program
had been reached there was quite a
long intermission, during which time
dancing to music by the Quintette Club
was INDUCED in by many people pres
ent. The concert finished, the dance
was continued.

Producing Rain.

A simple experiment in producing
rain may be made by the use of q cyl
inder of glass, about four inch hes in
diameter and eight inches high. This
is to be half filled with ninety-two per
cent. alcohol. A china saucer is placed
over the. cylinder, which is then put
into hot water bath and heated quite
hot, but not the boiling point for al
cohol. Then the cylinder, still GOV.
cred, is carefully aud quickly placed
upon a table in cool portion of the
room. Very soon vapor will be dis
covered on the under side OF the sau.
Ger, clouds will form and from them
little drops fall down upon the alco-
hol. This miniature shower may last
for an hour or more. The top part of
the cylinder clears directly 30 that the
condensation is seen midway between
the alcohol and the saucer. 1t is a
curious and interesting sight, the
water below the clouds and the clear
atmosphere above. II Immediately
after removing the cylinder from tho
hot water bath a cold saucer replaces
tho hot one, storm currents are dis
cernible. Often tho currents will as
semble upon one side of the cylinder
and descend upon the other. Conduct
ed upon q somewhat larger scale, this
experiment would be of great interest
