her against her navigator's intention

coincidence not to be adopted when not

The kaiser spOrted a plain straw hat

hat, and in this everyday attire he

Almost at break Of day the German
ruler and his family were up and

Simple Attachment Greatly Improves
Telephone.
CHICAGO.-By the application of the
laws of harmonics to the construction
of the telephone, a new instrument call
ed the ventrilophone has been invent
ed, by means of which the human
voice. music and other sounds can be
transmitted withNnearly the volume
and intensity of the original sound.
The new contrivance is now on .eXhi-
bithon in the Chamber of Commerce
Building, and if the claims of its inven-
tor, A c. Robbins of San Francisco,
are realized it will revolutionize GER
tain branches of the telephone service.
The ventrilophone's chief advantage
lies in the fact that it is not neces-
sary to shout into a transmitter and
listen attentively with the receiver at
the ear, as in the case of the ordinary
telephone The speaker can stand in
any part of the room and his voice
will be carried to me other end of the
line with enough force to be plainly
heard.
Briefly described the ventrilOphOne
consists OF an ordinary electric magnet
and iron diaphragm, just as in the
common telephone, but TO the end of
the magnet is attached piano string,
whose vibration greatly magnifies the
sound The sound is still further in
tensified by sounding board resem-
bling that of a guitar.

RACE TO BONNIE
Award is Made By the
Regatta Day Judges.
Indefinite Understands gs-Eatter
Of Handicap-A letter From
Captain Dole.

The Regatta judges have finally
awarded the first class yacht race to
the Bonnie Dundee, Hawaii second. In
this connection a letter from Presi-
dent Dole, owner and captain Of the
Bonnie Dundee, is made public.
After the race, on September II,
there was much talk Of understand
ings" concerning handicap On the Bon
ME, but it was made clear that there
had been no definite agreement. In
their decision the judges go over the
ground fully and discuss the several
recognized systems Of time allowance
and are unanimous in their verdict.
This is Mr.. DoIe's letter:
Honolulu, 8 Oct, 1898.
Mr.. Charles b. Wilson and others,
Judges of the Yacht Race of the lfth
of September Last.
Dear Sirs:-The misunderstanding
of the conditions Of the first class yacht
race was not due TO any fault OF the
competitors. BY the conditions as an
nounced to those who entered the Ha-
wall and the Marion, the former boat
won the first prize, and the latter boat
the second prize; and by the conditions
as understood by those who entered
the Bonnie Dundee she won the first
prize, and the Hawaii the second prize
The conditions as announced by the
committee to those who entered the
Hawaii and Marion were not an
nounced to those who entered the Bon
ME Dundee at all, and they never
heard of them until the race was over
AS there seems to be no possibility
of adjusting the matter, | suggest tina
the Bonnie Dundee be considered a!
out of the race, and the matter be set
tied ON the theory of race between
the Hawaii and the Marion alone.
Very sincerely yours,
SANFORD Il. DOLE.

confined to the mining industry itself
this would be bad enough, but the in

He can raise from 200 to 300 bushels Of
sweet potatoes, from 100 to 400 bushels of
Irish potatoes to tibet acre, and for $50 he
can build house that will keep them the
year round. FIJI
He can plain one acre of artichokes and
fatten so hogs on it; the hogs can do thier
own digging and watse nothing.
He can rarilse all kinds of stock 100 per
cetn: cheaper than 1t can be done further
nnorth.
He will not have to fertilize his land to
make it yield a good harvest, although
here, as elsewhere. judicious fertilizing
generally pays.
He can run af arm without mortgage
on it.
He can raise finer fruit, a greater variety
world.
He can have vegetables on his table the
year round.
He can plant one acre in cane and make
200 gallons of beautiful, clear syrup, with
no surghum twang to it.
Bees require no attention further than
taking what honey you wish.
Wet land, sown in red top, froms an ever

One bale of cotton is the average yield,
although one and a hal bales per acre Is
not an uncommon chop.
There never has been a total failure of

One hundred peach trees can be planed to

fruit per tree can be counted on after the
