Miss Mary Lavina Ellis was born

Nearer and nearer the cold dark waters
Rolled in sight as dear Minnie lay
Waiting and watching for the messen-

Coming to carry her spirit away.
Patiently waiting for the dawn eternal
Earnestly hoping for the bliss of

Sweetly, quietly, lovingly trusting
In the S4vior whose love is 80 fully

Peacefully resting on the bosom of

When the messenger came she was
ready to go,
Then she passed quickly through the

Leaving behind this world and it's

So Do Your Part.

Il helped to gather in the wheat"
The reaper's daughter said,
With dimpled smile and accent sweet,
And toss of golden head.
The child was young and very fair,
Her cheeks were all aglow;
Her eyes like purple pansies were,
Her teeth a shining row.
''You helped me to gather in the grains
You are too young, my child!
You could not fill the creaking vain,
Why speak a thing so Wild3"
81 am a harvester, I say,
And papa says so, too;
I bear his dinner every day
To yonder shady yeW.
''And though I cannotcut the blade,
Nor fill the creaking vain,
I do my part" she gently said,
Toward gathering in the grain"
To do her part-what more could she's
Could you or I do more9
The lesson still abides with me,
con it DER and DER.
Oh, rich would be the golden yield,
If each would do his part
Upon the worlds great harvest field,
With brave and earnest heart.
Selected.

WHAT SHALL / DO WITH MY
BOY2

No question of greater Importance
than this confronts parents. He who
solves il satisfactorily is q benefiactor
to his acc. The boy must be educated
to accomplish much in life. Growing
up in ignorance, he must be a newer Of
wood, and a drawer Of water to those
more highly favored in intellectual de-
velopment than he. Hoping to help
the parent solve this problem, we call
attention to q school we'll equipped
to give your son all the help he needs
in the way Of academic training. We
speak what we know and testify to
what we have seen, when we say that
the FAYETTEVILLE MILITARY ACADEMY
offers the best OF opportunities for the
moral and mental training of the youth
of this State, and of all who may wish
to avail themselves Of it's benefits.
The official report Of the remarkable
attendance last year Of the students Of
this school, at Church and Sunday
school justifes the belief that this
record is not surpassed.
1st. The moral and religious Influences
of the School are first class, while
its discipline is calculated to build
up moral character, without
which education is curse. While
the school is in no sense secta-
rian. or UNCONVENTIONAL, the prin-
cipal is a Christian gentlemen
Christian character.

TIE Life of Vance from boyhood to
grave, edited by Major @. Dowd. Of
Charlotte, N. O., who was once a law
partner Of Senator Vance, should be In
the homes of all our people. The press
work and binding was all done
in North Carolina and is about the best
ever executed in the State. The book
contains 500 pages, is beautifully illus
trated, and is sold in Wake county by
Mr.. P. W. Dowd, who will be glad to
take your order and deliver the book.

which appears elsewhere in this issue
In these days the endorsement of a

ers and the work done is thorough
and faithful.
3rd. The location of the School is very
desirable. Tt enjoys a heelthful
climate, and is in the midst Of q
refined and cultivated people.
While there was whisky cold in
the town last year in the open
saloons, such was the discipline OF
the school that no student was
eve known to visit a saloon, or
indulge in any Intoxicating
liquors. Now there are no sa-
looms in the city.
In view of the above facts, and
many others that might be mentioned,
If you have a boy to educate, we take
great pleasure In recommending the
FAYETTEVILLE MILITARY ACADEMY,
Fayetteville, N. O., to your favorable
consideration.

KoHALA CORRESPONDENT AGAIN.

Our kohala correspondent III
his second letter makes some pecu-
liar comparisons between the edi-
tor OF a newspaper and the man
ager OF sugar plantation. To
the newspaperman who knows the
number Of bloated bondholders
among those III his business the
comparison Is highly amusing.
The remuneration held out to edi-
tors i money and experience"
The other fellow usually gets the
money and the editor gets the ex-
perience.
We take pleasure however in
comparing the business policy of
the corporation controlling this
paper and the policy of those whom
our Kohala correspondent cham
pions. We admit that newspapers
take advantage Of improvements
in machinery and whatever
science or mechanical skill may
have accomplished to enable a
larger amount of work to be done
at a smaller cost. We believe that
the sugar planter should make the
best possible use of science, and
also improve his mills and every
mechanical detail connected with
the manufacture of sugar. The
scientist has done a wonderful
work, which is not only apparent
TO mill owners, plantation owners
and farmers. but also to the com
mon people who now have the
benefit Of luxrries which compare
lively few years ago the average
workingmen could not afford to
buy. The. tendency of scientific
assistance Is not to throw men out
of work, but to !. increase the
amount of production, reduce
prices and bring formerly expen-
sive products within reach of the
men with small incomes.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-04-29

employ white labor in order TO en-
JOY pleasant reciprocal relations
with the people whose business they
obtain. In just the same line the
man who turns out agricultural
products has duty to perform.
The agriculturalist enjoys reel
procal relations with the United
States. The object Of the Recipro-
city Treaty was not TO furnish ma
terial to build mp an Asiatic popu-
lation in this country. And IL
the employers Of labor depart
from the spirit Of that reciprocal
contract they Will suffer the dan
ger of withdrawal Of the support
by the party Of the second part.
We fully appreciate the hard
work that has been done by men
of brains to bring our staple in
dUstrv up 10 It, present standard.
but all this work will be worse
than wasted if these same brainv
men with one hand draw blessings
from the springs of science and
reciprocal friendship and with the
other cut the throat of American
civilization in this country.
1t Is not until quite recently
that the people generally have
come to view in its proper light
the perniciOus tendencies of our
present labor system and we are
pleased to note that there seems
TO be Il general change of front all
along the line. We are firm in
the belief that the white labor agi-
tation which our correspondent de
precates will prove something
more than a passing furry and of
lasting benefit to Hawaii nei. By
following the pathway of Ameri-
can civilization the people of this
country will enjoy individual
prosperity and national peace and
good will.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-04-29

Prof. w. f. Ayrton, of London,
is quoted by Electricity as saying
recently, in relation to recent pro
gress in biography without wires:
''There is no doubt the day will
come, maybe when You and / are
forgotten, when copper wires,
gutta-percha coverings, and iron
sheathings will be regulated to the
museum of antiquities Then
when a person wants to telegraph
to a friend, he knows not where,
he Will call in an electromagnetic
voice, which will be heard loud by
him who has the electromagnetic
ear but will be silent to every one
else-he will call, Where are
youH and the reply will come loud
to the man with the electrOmag-
netic ear, L am at the bottom of
the coal-mine, or crossing the
Andes, or in the midle of the Pa
cific.' Or, perhaps, no voice will
come at all, and he may then eX-
pect the friend is dead. Think
what that will mean. Think of the
calling which goes on from room
to room, then think of that call
ing when it extends from pole to
pole-a calling quite audible to
him who wants to hear, absolutely
silent to him who does not"
Perhaps by the time this pre-
diction is realized Hawaii will have
cable.

Minister to Turkey Appointed to
Make Demands of sultan.
ANN ARBOR. Mich. April 1S.-I5
has come TO be understood in this city
that the appointment of James B. An
CELL TO be Minister to Turkey has con
siderably greater significance than us
ually attaches 70 the selection of rep
resentatives of this country tO'foreign
Governments. If the information of
his intimate friends and associates in
the faculty of the University of Mich
igan, of which he is president. is cor
rect, Professor Angel will go to the
Turkish capital with a special mission
to perform. That mission is the Wig
orous prosecution of claims for in
demnity brought by American citizens
and American missionaries against the
Sultan's Government.
The appointment is supposed here to
mean that President McKipley's ad-
ministration intends to bring to q
speedy end the dawdling negotiations
that have been dragging through
many months with reference to the
payment of damages for the destruc-
ton of lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens and make His Ottoman
Majesty feel the full responsibility of
repetition of the outrages with
which his soldiers insulted this Ma
ton in the past.
