Father Bonavcntura of lIilo has
come to Honolulu to confer with the
Bishop of ranopolis relative to the
scheme for coffee plantation on a
large scale i'm thee Puma district.
The plan which Father Bonaventura
has laid down TO the Bishop is to Gull
tivate the Mission lands in Puma for
coffee growing. There is in the neigh
hurhood Of 700 acres in tract of
5000 acres belonging to the Mission.
which is suited for coffee growing. it
is proposed TO issue 1000 shares OF
stock. the par value of which shall he
800 The Mission will retain 1000 Of
the shares. 1000 shall remain as treas
ury stock and the balance sold. But
$50 per share will be demanded as a
first installment and each month
thereafter there will be an assessment
of one dollar per share for three
wears. This sale of stock will furnish
cash capital of 100000 as the Mis-
sion would turn over the land 10 the
company in lieu of cash. The money
derived from the monthly assessments
will he used in paying the running eX-
peuses.
The Reverend Father is certain that
the investment will be a good one. He
says that the Goudie Brothers are IN
part of the Mission land and are get
ting as fine a quality of coffee as can
be found anywhere. \ good manager

plantation of Rycroft, Wight, Miss
Wilder, and others in the district.
proves that the climatic conditions
and land in Puma are adapted to cof-
fee.
Father Bonaventura says that Il
company organized on the lines as
planned gives persons of limited cap
ital an opportunity to become inter-
ested. At the most he does not see
how more than $50 per share can be
called in, and that will be the sum to-
tai paid on stock having par value
of 500 The Father has made n
careful estimate of the expense of
the trees until the first crop is taken
off three years afterward. He has al

ers as a basis. He calculates that
when the first crop is taken off and
marketed the company can declare a
cash dividend of % per cent.

LETTER THE HUNGER.
The Meteoric Career of Old Hutch's s
 Successor.
New York world.)


 Joseph Letter. the king of the wheat pit in Chicago, the man who has engineered the biggest corners since the palmiest days of "Old Hutch, :" is n smooth-faced. athletic l looking Harvard graduate, 30 years old He lives in magnificent style, has a valet, keeps many horses and dogs and is extremely careful about his dress-almost as careful as he is in business.
 When Letter went into the wheat deal six months ago he knew noth- | ing about the game. Now he is teaching men who have passed their lives on the board of trade. He is looked upon as the most remarkable man Chicago has produced.
 Young Letter is not a self-made man in the ordinary sense, yet he has made vast fortune. When he came from college six years ago his father, old Levi Letter, looked him over doubtfully. A boy without practical experience and who had spent q deal of money is an uncer- tain quantity. So the old man, to test his metal, gave him $l ,000,000 to do with as he pleased. And great was the joy of tue sharks thereat. A college dude, Nasty Pudding man with million! Never was there greater promise of fine pluck ing.
 Joseph Letter began to plungeinto speculations, and he found no end of holes. Sehemers, speculators, pro- motors and confidence men flocked to him and carried away such booty as they could. The young man paid the price and never whlmpered. Af- ter a time he learned that you can not beat q man at his own game un- less you know it better than he does His million was nearly all gone be- fore he learned this.
 He began to study details. He liked city railway stocks. He gain ed q marvellous amount of technical and practical knowledge. He took up mining in the same way. The tide turned. Money began to flock back mere swiftly than it went out. Old Levi began to realize that his son was not a failure. He began turning over properties to the youth. The old gentleman now admitted that the boy had ontstripped him.
 More than year ago the father turned over all his belongings to Jo- seph. When the financial world learned that a young fellow, not yet thirty, had absolute control of $30,- 0O0,00O worth of property 1t was aghast. His fortune is divided among the best institutions of Chi cago. 1t extends to railroads, ranches and mines.
 It is supposed that Letter went in- to the wheat market as a result of being appointed 0 colonel on the gov ernor's staff. He was thro vn in friendly relationship with the state grain department. Wheat interest," ed him, casually at first, and then the fever took possession of him.
 When he appeared in the wheat market six months ago there was joy ih the pit. A man with $50, ,0O0,- GOO and only six years of business ex- perience doesn't come along every day. But they ought to have taken stock of his chin and the manner in

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Mr. $. Y. T. Knox's residence on West Fifth avenue had a narrow es- cape from fire Monday. His littlu son went to the wardrobe to get some clothing and lighted match, which was earelessly thrown on the floor of the furniture. Shortly alter wards Mrs. Knox discovered smoke in the room, and an investigation revealed that the smoke was coming from the wardrobe. She hastily opened the door and found a lot of clothing OH fire. The clothing was quickly removed and the fire extinguished by the smothering pro- cess. The damage was only slight, but the escape was 8 narrow one.
