GODFREY RHODES DEPARTS
PASSING of A VENERABLE FIGURE
This MORNING.
He Dice OF Old Age-His Long and
Honorable Career In
Hawaii.

This morning at twenty minutes
past one o'clock Hon. Godfrey
Rhodes closed a long and honora-
BILE career, dying at his residence
in Nuuanu avenue. Old age car
ried him off, the fatal symptoms
being blood poisoning. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Rhodes at
tanned his eighty-second birthday
on the eighth of March last, when
Minister Cooper sent the band, out
of regard for his long public SER
vices, to serenade him at his resi-
dence.
When 20 years of age Mr..
Rhodes came out from his home
in England on board the Hudson
Bay Co.'s packet Columbia, which
called at Honolulu on her voyage
to the company's station on the
Columbia river. He became mate
of that vessel and sfterward mas
ter of the schooner Unity, which
in 1889 carried a number Of In
dians, dropped here by sealing
vessels, hence to their native
land. Later he went to Monterey,
California, thence conveying
John Coffin Jones, q former
United States Consul at Honolu.
lu, to Acapulco in the Unity.
Returning to Honolulu Mr..
Rhodes stayed in the islands and
engaged in raising coffee and
other products on the island OF
Kauai. He was elected to the
Legislature from that island on
successive occasions, but aban-
doned his planting enterprise
there in 1852. In later years Mr..
Rhodes was appointed member
Of the House of Mobiles, that
being life position until
the constitution of 1887. He was
three times president of the LIE
gislature, last for the session of
1884. Many will remember the
ability and dignity with which he
conducted that breezy assembly,
when the opposition struggled in
vain against the Gibson admins.
tration with its policy dictated
from the palace. Mr.. Rhodes
was q member of the
Privy Council of State also in the
later years Of the monarchy. He
went to California in 1856 on &C.
count of failing health, only re.
turning here once on a visit until
last year, when with Mrs. Rhodes
he came back to spend his last de.
Ginning days amidst the scenes of
his prime.
Mr.. Rhodes married Nancy
Chapman on January "a, 1882,
now leaving her with one child.
Other relatives mourning his loss
are Mrs. Thomas Brown, a sister
and the mother of Mrs. Alex.
Macintosh and Cecil, Godfrey
and Frank Brown; Mrs. Won
Phister, a sister in England;
Judge G. w. Hart of Ho-
nolulu and Ludovico Hart OF Aus
tralia, half brothers; Miss Chap
man, sister-in-law; Mrs. ID. ID.
Campbell and Miss Pattie Rhodes
of Kauai, and Mrs. Richard Janion
of Victoria, nieces.
Mrs. Rhodes and A. st. M.
Macintosh, grand nephew, were
present at the deathbed of the
venerable gentleman. Miss
Rhodes, his only child, was absent
in the Waianae mountains with
FL. M. Won Hollis family.
The funeral takes place this
afternoon at $3.50 from the Roman
Catholic cathedral. The follow
ing citizens will act as pail. bear.

well on milk after it has been sepa
rated from the cream, should read the
following item, from the Riley Reg

sionally, that calves will not thrive
on creamery milk, that is, milk that
has had the butter taken from it at
the creamery. This statement has
been denied by Mr.. Globe, our cream
cry man, and now we have the proof
that it is fact. Chas. Mackender

averaged SIG per head. These calves
were raised entirely on creamery

A Unique Service.


From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
In the widest and most pictures
que section of Writ County, near
Creston, w. Va, q huge rock,
known as Devils Tea Table," hangs
over the river, high above the valley.
A few weeks ago the Rev. John Bon
nell, an eccentric mountain evangel
list, announced that he would preach
from the rock, naming last Sunday
as the day for the service.
During Saturday night and early
Sunday morning the backwoodsmen
and their families began gathering
at the foot Of the rock, and by IL
O'clock over 1000 persons awaited the
advent of the preacher, who soon
appeared on the edge of the rock
and delivered his sermon from a pull
pit 200 feet above his congregation,
his text being, "On This Rock I
Build My Church" It was the most
unique and impressive service ever
held IN that state.

Jews as Farmers.
From the Eexish Messenger.

&roW k1e %eS1sn messenger.
So far as farming is concerned,
the Jew is simply like his neighbor.
The tendency today is from the farm
to the town. As soon as the reaction
occurs and the people flock to the
farms, the cities will cesse to attract
new corners, Jew or non-Jew, and
the farms viii gain in value and at
Effectiveness. No forced movement
to agriculture Is possible or desira-
bic. 1t would simply lead to failure
and greater penury than before. We
believe that the pendulum is ready to
swing toward agriculture again,
but it takes time. When conditions
are ripe the Jew will be found among
farmers in as large a proportion as
nonJews. he is not and never was
an exceptional animal.

Irrigation i'm Nebraska.

From The Omaha Bee.
Reports every now and then of the
completion of new irrigation bitches
and reservoirs in different parts of
Nebraska indicate that the irrigation
movement is making steady progress
although it has not aroused so much
comment recently as formerly. For
localities which lack precipitation at
critical points of the farming season,
but have an available water supply,
irrigation is the sure preventive of
possible drouth. The irrigation in,
terests in Nebraska are bound to
grow in importance and magnitude.

The Boom in Wheat.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
We grant that the silverites are largely
correct in ascribing the s'boom" in wheat
to the worlds shortage. Gold standard
advocates have never said anything else
than that prices were regulated by the
demand and supply. The explanation of
shortage does not account, however, for
the raise in corn and live stock, and in
cotton goods, of which the farmers and
the mills have never had such large sup
plies. Something else than scarcity is
responsible for this universal upward
movement in prices, especially of agri-
cultural products.
Another point should not be forgotten.
Silverites seem always ready to recog-
nize deficiency and its effect upon prices.
but they concede nothing to an oversup-
ply. The reason for the fall in wheat in
past years has not been the largest crops
of the world, they say, but the demoneti.
zation of silver. Since 1873 the amount of
coined legal tender silver in the world
has increased 100 per cent, but we will
let that pass. Hasn't there been an
of agricultural products?
Hasn't there also been an Overproduction
of silver, as we'll as lessened demand?
These are points that the thimble- rig
ging free silverite never takes into con-
sideratiOn. From Teller down to Bryan |
there is the same effort to hold ND one |
side of the picture and conceal the other. |
Luckily in this case, as always, the mar
kets are giving demonstration so potent |
hat no one can ignore it.
