MRS. DNDS SNY HIS LONG FLOWING LOCKS WANTS 1000 NEAW HOME FOR UU BELIEVES Annexation
! CAPTAIN DAY DECIDED NOT TO
VISIT THE BARBER.
An Army Officers Strange Now-As-
signed to Duty at Fort Canby-He
Did Not Like the Transfer.

Capt. S. A. Day of the United States
Army, who is a passenger on the Peru,
on his way home from Japan, where
he has been on an important mission
for his Government, is a man of some
note. He is particularly famed on the
Northern Coast because OF his ecCen-
trio actions while in command of a
battery at Fort Candy, at the mouth
of the Columbia river, from which port
he was transferred to New York only
few months ago.
Fort Candy is a pretty spot, sur
rounded by mountains and river and
ocean, but not particularly desirable
place to live, as the only means of
communicating with the outer world
is by boat, and social pleasures are few
and far between. As army folks are
fond of social life, the post is avoided
as much as possible
Capt. Day was detailed to Fort Can
by in 1892. 1t made him angry, but
like a true soldier, after exhausting
his pull for II transfer, he went tC
the post, and settled down to thelquiet
! life.
But he made VOW which made him
famous. He vowed he would not shave
or cut his hair while he remained al
the post and he kept his VOW. AS time
wore on his beard grew long and his
hair fell over his shoulders He looked
like one of the veteran Indian scouts
pictured by Cooper. The Captain i:
not lacking in humor, and to heighter
| the effect of his flowing locks ant
beard he took to dressing in buckslIin
and to riding the country on horse
! back. Every stranger took him fol
talk of the country side. Capt. Day
enjoyed his novel distinction very
much, as it afforded him more amuse
ment than anything else in the place
y Few months AGO Can't Day wa
transferred to a New York post ant
was soon afterward detailed on
special mission to Japan for the Gov
ernment. One would not recognize il
him today the "Indian Scout of For
Canby." His flowing locks have beer
shorn, and today he has the appear
ance of a well groomed army officer.

VISIT FROM THE AGENT OF AN
ENGLISH CORPORATION.
Desire Land on Which to Grow Rame
Coffee Planters Will Be Asked to
Plant the Fiber-Big Scheme.

Alfred f. White, a civil engineer IF
London, England, called upon Commits
sioner of Agriculture Marsden this
morning to enquire concerning the
growtl of ramie in the islands, and
the price of land suitable for the
grow:h Of the iiberous plant, Mr.
White represents an English COM
pany, recently formed with large cap
ital, for the purpose of growing ramie
and manufacturing cloth from the
fiber and he was sent by the Company
to the Orient to find Il field for opera
ton
Learning, while there, that the cof-
fee lands of the Hawaiian islands are
best adapted to the growth of the tib-
erous plant, he decided to return home
by this route, and take opportunity to
examine into the matter. He had in
tended to remain over here for some
time, but through the courtesy of
Commissioner Alarsden he was placed
in possession of the facts and figures
so quickly that he was able to con-
tinue his voyage homeward. He went
impressed with the idea that the
islands possess the best field for oper-
alton for his company, and promises
that he shall be heard from in a prac-
tical way within very short time.
So far as Commissioner Marsden
knows no machine has yet been in
vented for ramie fiber cleaning. The
experiment has often been tried here,
buj always unsuccessfully. Commits
sioner Marsden believes, however, that
Mr.. White means business, md that
he will be heard from at an early date.
The proposition advanced by Mr..
White was to purchase from the Gov
ernment or from private parties 200O
acres of land outright, ior the purpose
of starting a ramie plantation. This
will only be starter, for the company
! I'aN )oses to put in an extensive plant
here for the separation of the fiber
The coffee planters are to be encour-
aged to cultivate ramie on their plan,
| tation. 1t grows well on coffee lands
as an intermediate crop between the
coffee seasons, interfering in no way
with the coffee industry, and yielding
the planter big returns during Oh sea,
sons.
Mr. White, after consulting with his
employers, will make formal propo
sition to the Hawaiian Government in
relation to his business.

THE TERMS OF THE COMPROMISE
MADE KNOWN.
Will Receive Good Sized Draft When
the Peru Is on the High Seas
End of the Suit.

The departure of Mrs. Carey Higley
Dmond for San Francisco on the Peru
today has brought that celebrated di-
vorce suit to an end. Mrs. Dimond,
who was defeated in the Circuit Court,
leaves her home and chile well satis-
fled with the compromise made her by
Mr.. Dimond on Monday.
The details of the compromise were
learned today. The amount of the set
tlement was $4,000. Out of this sum
has been paid Mrs. Dimond's expenses
while in Honolulu, contesting the suit
of divorce brought by her husband,
as well as her attorneys fees. The re-
mainder, which is in the neighborhood
of $4,000 is in the form of a draft on
a California bank and was placed in
the hands of Capt Frielc of the Peru,
by Mr.. Dimond's counsel with instruc-
tions to deliver it to Mr.. Dimond when
his boat is well out of the Honolulu
harbor on her way to America.
TO a Star reporter Mrs. Dimond stat
ed on board the Peru this noon that
she leaves Honolulu for good. ut was
with reluctance that | part with my
island friends who have stood by me
through all my trouble" said Mrs Di-
mond. "They have my highest appre-
citation for their kindness and my best
wishes for their welfare. l leave Ho-
nolulu never to return, except to stop
over perhaps on my way through to
Japan in December.
upon my arrival in San Francisco
| expect to start in at once in the re-
hearsal of my part in Ali Baba. [ nave
signed for the 'season and have a
couple of good offers under considera-
tion for the future"
There were a number of people at
the wharf to bid Mrs. Dimond good
| bye.

BRISTOL'S EDUCATED HORSES.
VIII Exhibit in Honolulu Commencing
Next Monday.

Professor Bristol's educated horses
will exhibit in this city, commencing
next Monday. The show comes well
recommended and in more respects
than one the entertainment stands out
prominently from ordinary theatri2ais.
The studied purity of the whole eAhi-
bition, eliminating every objection
that the most eXacting could raise, has
made this the only theatrical attrac-
tion that the laity and clergy of all
denominations attend. 1t is especially
interesting and instructive to child
ren, and great crowds of little ones
throng the matinees.
Professor Bristol's system of Horse
Education has developed hitherto un-
heard of equine sagacity, in which he
has achieved worldwide reputation.
His method of educating and controll-
ing the horse has been imperfectly
copied by few inferior horse-trainers
with varying results. TO his superior
knowledge of the horse we have as a
result this wonderful Troupe of Edu-
Gated Animals, the Original Eques-
curriculum, and the only Perfectly
Educated School of Horses in the
world.
In speaking of the exhibition, the
Boston Globe said recently:
mo lover of horses can afford to
miss the Equescurriculum at the Globe
most wonderful exhibition of animal
intelligence. There is not dull mo.
ment from the time the horses come
Their intelligence and skill cannot be
eNcelled."

COSY COTTAGE MAY BE BUILT ON
HOSPITAL GROUNDS.
Hospital Flower Society VIII Take the
Matter in Hand-The Ladies Favor a
Fair-Sized Home-Need Assistance.

If the plans of a noble philantrophic
scheme already inaugurated by several
charitable ladies are carriesd out, EIo-
nolulu will be endowed with a Con-
sumptives' Home.
At the present time there is abso-
'utely nc provision made for these un-
fortunates. They are denied entrance
into the Queens hospital, the Board of
at a recent meeting that consumptives
will not be taken into that institution
henceforth for obvious reasons.
The idea of a Consumptives' Home
originated with the Hospital Flower
Society and the matter is now under
consideration by that organization.
The plan is to erect a cosy cottage on
the hospital grounds. Many of the
ladies are in favor of building a fair
sized home which can be enlarged
from time to time as the demand
grows and the money is secured.
Mrs. f. NJ. Swanzy, president of the
Hospital Flower Society, says that this
important matter will beb rought up
for determination by the society very
shortly you know our society is not
rich one by any means, began Mrs
Swanzy yesterday. But we hope to
interest other charitable organizations
in case we decide to establish the
home. There is nearly 5000 in the
treasury. The free bed in the hospital
costs $4,000 and we would still need
to raise $3,s25SO to make up that
amount
Should the worthy aim of the Hos
pital Flower Society be successful, an
other grand ball, this time for the
benefit of the Consumptives' Home
would be among the probabilities. The
! Calico Ball netted the ladies in the
neighborhood of $500 and an affair
now suggested would certainly ado
another thousand dollars toward tn,
founding Of a Copsumr'ives' Horne.

UNAPPRECIATIVE PUBLIC.

The total receipts taken in at the
cycle show at Independence park last
evening amounted to S5. The expenses
were over $65. The show was repeated
because it was believed that the short
age of $40 incurred on Saturday could
be made. Consequently Henry Z.
Walker, agent of the Cleveland who
was the originator of the affair, is out
i'm cold cash 500. Mr.. Walker held the
first race meet ever given in the
islands and quit loser. Henry says he
is about pau experimenting.

GEORGE Il. MEYERS Is AN EN-
THUSIAST ON THE SUBJECT.
Islands Will Not Prove Costly to the
United States-The Resources Are
Ample to Pay Running Expenses.

81 have only one regret in leaving
this place." said George 7. Meyers, the
veteran salmon packer of Portland, Or.
this morning, as he stood upon the
deck of the Peru. THAT single regret
is that | have to leave it. Had I
known what perfect garden of Eden
this island is, | should have arranged
10y business so that | could come here
and stay as long as ] liked"
Mr.. Meyers came down on the City
of Peking with a party of tourists last
week, on a flying visit, to recuperate
his health after an attack of pneu-
monia. He came for the sea voyage
more than anything else, but now he
wishes he had come to stay. Mrs.
Meyers is quite as well pleased with
the city, but is just little anxious
to get back to her flower garden and
family.
Mr.. Meyers was an anneXationist
when he first landed in Honolulu, but
now he is an enthusiast on the SUBJ
! iect. 1--WE must annex the Hawaiian
! Islands, he says, "for the United
| States is more interested here than
any other nation. They will not prove
costly to us, for they are so rich in
resources that they can afford to pay
taxes for their own support and main
| tainence. | have studied this anneXa-
ton question a great deal, and partic-
ularly since | have been down here.
| TO the people who live east of the Mis-
sissippi river, these islands appear 10
be almost mythical, and the an lcXa-
tion feeling is weak in prop )rtion.
But we who live on the Pacific Coast,
who have had relations with the
islands and meet your people, the Ha-
waiian group seems very near; and
when there is talk of another foreign
power seizing the islands, it makes our
blood tingle just as much as il some
foreign powers We're to attempt to
seize n part of Oregon. When 1 re-
turn home / shall use every influence
at my command in behalf of anneNa-
ton
Mr.. Meyers expects to return 10 Ho-
nolulu next Fall or Winter, to remain
several months. He says he will make
up a family party. and hereafter make
his winter home here 1t is not unlike-
ly that he may be induced to invest
some capital in the development of The
islands resources. Mr.. Meyers is
highly esteemed in Oregon as a public
spirited citizen. and he would BE re-
ceived with open arms here as a per-
manent resident.

An English Dinner in 1S4O.

Of society in 1S40, Let me speak only of the wealthiest city class the people who lived In big houses in Bloomsbury or in the suburbs. They had evenings" with little music; they were very decorOus; the young men stood round the wall or In the doOrways; the little music included tie refreshment handed about or set out in the dining room. It consisted of sandwiches, cake and neguS. Some times there was a dinner party.
 The company were invited for half past 6; the dinner, always the same, or nearly the same, consisted of salmon outlets, haunch of mutton, boiled fowl, and tongue, birds of some kind, and pudding of one or two kinds. The dishes were put on the table; every body helped each other; nobody drank anything until the host had first taken wine with him; there was nothing to drink at dinner except sherry. After dinner the port went around once; the ladies retired; this was about hah-past ' or a quarter to 8; the men then closed up: fresh decanters were placed on the table and they drank port steadily till 10:30-i. e., for three long hours. Then they went upstairs to the drawing room; and, as If the port was not enough, they then had brandy and water, hot.-Sir Walter Besan& in Self. Culture

Indiaas Going Into Business.


 The missionary may have bUilded better than he knew. Several Indians acting in the spirit of emulation. have stores of the'~ own. and iD some lrstencee Carry rtoct of S8C10 k SIO,OUU. There are SIX stores of tnls description on their islands. These educated Indians have arrived at the conclusion that there Is money in com mercial life, and have decided to con- pete with MT. Duncan and his Portland capitalists. Mir Duncan has met his competition, first by selling four at $1.25 a sack and then raising dock rates to $3 per ton upon all goods not landed for his store The Indians have determined to build a dock of their own, and have announced that they will complete 1t this summer and allow anyone to land there who wishes to.
 This Is no idle boast. as they have plenty of money and can pay cash for work they don't do themselves. Edu- cational and religious movements on the islands are being overshadowed by commercial matters.
