Scarcely day passes that some

by thu time he reached home to re-

made up his mind that he was in

came the answer from Dear
Mary" TO whom he had written,
saying that she was willing.
The thing was to be done in some
style, SO that printed invitations

reached the busy scene Of prepare

find that Mary was not the girl he
had fallen in love with at all, but
the elder sister. He did a little

ABOUT CONSULS.

The methods employed by the Unit
ed States with regard to Consular Re-
ports are beginning to stir up the
mercantile nations of the earth. A
little while ago questions upon Con-
sular Reports were asked in the
| House of Commons, but it will take
a long time before the Consular staff
! will get out of the rut it is in at pres
ent. Germany has also taken up the
! matter of Consular Reports and has
/ had DR.. Wiedemann of Berlin invcst i
! gate and make report on the sub
| ject.
The American plan, which was in
stituted by Mr.. Emory, is to publish
pamphlet daily, of from eight to
twelve pages, containing extracts from
| the letters of Consuls as they are re-
| ceived The pamphlets are sent to
the principal mercantile agencies, and
to the newspapers throughout the
| Union, and the information with re-
gard to American trade is quickly
disseminated. Instead of writing re-
ports quarterly, half yearly, and even
yearly, the Consuls are urged to write
as often as possible. These pamph-
lets are also reprinted in monthly re-
ports for purposes of binding.
In Germany the reports have been
annual" and DR.. Wiedemann urges
strongly that monthly reports be sent
in. Shortly the American system will
be adopted and daily publications of
the various monthly reports will be
made.
In the course of his Investigations,
DR.. Wiedemann has a great deal to
say about the personnel of the Ger
man Consular corps. The Empire
employees two classes namely expert
Consuls and elected" Consuls. The
expert" Consuls are those in the
regular Consular service. The elect.
ed" Consuls are German merchants
, resident abroad, who fulfill the duties
of Consul while conducting their owl
, number of elected" Consuls prepon
:, derates. there being only eighty-eigh
'eXpert" Consuls, out of total of sly
hundred and ninety-one Consuls whC
, represent the Empire.
The doctor suggests in his pamph
let that this should be changed ant
that in point of fact the Consular ser
vice, as a service or profession apart
> should be largely increased, Will,
the number of elected Consuls shoul'
be decreased. For this purpose witt
typical German thoroughness, he say
the expert Consuls should be properl
trained before being sent abroad. II
suggests that they should minutel
study national economy, should com
in contact with the mercantile an
industrial classes of their native lane
and that they should be skilled il

ABOUT NEUTRALITY.

There is a great deal of nonsensical
talk about neutrality. Whether the
Republic proclams neutrality or not,
it has not the force to maintain its
neutrality should any nation at war
care to violate it. Upon this point
The Star said some weeks ago
"The rules are clear, but they deal
with powers able TO enforce them.
How could Hawaii enforce them? She
has no ships or ornaments to enable
her to enforce, such rules and yet,
for allowing a violation of them, she
might be held responsible if war
takes place between the United States
and Spain. Better the protection of
great power in time of war than the
unprotected condition of Hawaii as
an independent state
The San Francisco Chronicle, COM
menting editorially upon these re-
marks. SAYS: "The Hawaiian Star is
right in its observation that the neu-
trality of the little republic would
not be respected by Spain or any 9TH
err naval enemy of the United States
in the Pacific"
Upon this point we have historical
precedent and present fact. During
the Napoleonic wars, the small states
of Italy, which at that time, were
numerous, consisting of republics,
principalities, dukedoms and petty
Kingdoms, declared their neutrality,
but neither Napoleon on land, nor
Nelson by sea, paid much attention to
their proclamations, and demanded
and obtained what aid each one re-
quired in turn. Sometimes the mayor
of city tried to help each secretly,
but as soon as this was discovered
either Napoleon's generals, or Mel
sons captains, incontinently hanged
him. Neutrality depends entirely up
on country's ability to maintain it.
If we look at present facts we see
that the great countries of the earth
are preparing to preserve their neu-
trality. They do not depend only up
on mere paper proclamation. Great
Britain is increasing her military
strength in the West India Islands,
and it will also be found that her
naval force will be increased, purely
to enforce her neutrality by arms
against either belligerent. France is
doing the same thing. At the time of
the Franco-Prussian war the entire
Belgian army was posted upon the
frontiers of that little country with a
view of maintaining its neutrality.
Those who are croaking over neu-
trality do not realize what it would
be for this country should there be a
long war between the. United States
and Spain. AS has been said in the
quotation printed above, "better the
protection of a great power in time
of war" If the United States will on.
ly annex us, she is quite capable OF
protecting us. The Star has faith in
the United States, it has very little
faith in neutrality proclamations
which cannot be backed up by force
of arms

Japan is looking into the matter Of
sugar trade. There is some cane rails
ed in Japan, but what the japanese
propose to do is to set up their own
refineries and draw raw sugar from
Formosa, the Philippines and the
Straits settlements. Should this be
carried out it will seriously affect the
German refined sugar trade which at
present monopolizes the japanese
market. The average yearly consump-
ton per capita in Japan is eight
pounds. In Europe it is eighteen
pounds, in the United States thirty
six pounds. There is plenty of room,
therefore, for considerable expansion.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-05-11

great deal of truth in the criticisms,
though The Star does not agree with
them in toto But it is well for the
public to understand that there are
teachers who have no sympathy with
the simple head teaching, but who do
believe in carrying on education on
practical lines, and dropping the theo-
ries and fads of the day.

The PnrisInn MidoMs.

The performances given at Music nall
yesterday afternoon and evening by
Webcrs Partisan Widows were about the
best that have been produced in the bur
lesQue line in Scranton this season. The
programme presented was equally in
merit to that given when the Partisan
Widows visited the city last fall. and was
decidedly up TO the minute in every par
tiCuiar. This company contains some of
the funniest comedians and most talent
ed vOCalists on the vaudeville stage. and
there was scarcely dull turn I'm the per-
fCrmanCe of yesterday.
A taking feature was the presentation
of the various warships of the United
States navy which were applauded ViGor-

duCed new features of humorous chaTaC-

trio were better than ever in their inter-
probation of operate selections and pop

WELL.KNOWN CLARIONET PLAYER.
Clarence T.. Knowles Will BE Heard
with Symphony Orchestra.

Clareh e +. knowles, the well-knoWn
solo clarionet player, has returned to
Scranton for good. He has been per-
manently engaged with the symphony
Orchestra society OF Scranton. He is
without a peer in the state of Penn
sylvania as a performer having played
with Gilmore and several other equally
fine organizations.
The solo oboist and also the solo
baSsOon player of the late Anton Seidl S
celebr.,o "a orchestra have also been
engaged for this concert. Mr.. Knemp-
bel. the bassoon player, is coming all
the way from Montreal to be present.
Mr.. Eller, the obOist, is undoubtedly
the greatest living exponent of the
oboe. His tone is of a richness and
purity uneXcelled in the United States
There will also be Mr.. Victor l..
Shaeffer, late of the Waldorf Astoria
orchestra, New York city, and former
ly solo hutist at Ponce de Leon, the
largest of society's winter resorts in
Florida He has lately purchased a
flute made by BOehm and Member OF
Munchen, Germany.
Altogether, the reed section, consist
ing Of piCcOlo, two flutes, two obOi, two
clariOnetS, and two bassoons, will be
the finest ever assembled in Scranton
One of the greatest evils of the or
Chestras of today is having one or two
good reed performers and large num-
Der of mediocre assistants who simply
ruin the whole effect. This has beer
carefully avoided by the society, for
although many applicants have come
forward as reed players, only the mini
mum has been selected, making this
section the best possible. The diagram
for the concert opens today at the
LYceum theatre
