FIVE COMPANIES AFTER /
WILL BE LIVELY BIDDING FOR
THE MOLOKAI RANCH.
Likely that the Huis Headed by Alfred
Carter and Manager Dillingham; will
Combine-The Others.

The big Molokai ranch belonging to
the Bishop estate will be purchased
when it is put up for auction in front
of the Judiciary building next We'd
nesday noon. just who will get it
and for what figure it will be knocked
off for, is very difficult to even pre-
diet.
At the present moment there are five
separate and distinct huis after the
property. All save one are counting
upon starting sugar plantation in
the event of their coming into posses
sion of the land. The upset price fin
ed on the property by the trustees
of the Bishop estate. with the appro-
val of the court is $l50,000. This sum
has already been offered by one of the
companies now in the field.
One of the strongest of the five COM
panies who propose bidding for the
place is known as the Carter compd-
Carter, Gen. A. S. HartweIl,
and two close relatives of Gen. Hart
well who live in other climes. 1t is
stated that this company has made
the offer of $l5O,OOO for the ranch. 1t
is known that Judge Carter made a
hurried visit to San Francisco last fail
for the purpose of interviewing Chas.
r. Bishop relative to this matter.
Another combination which will be
a lively competitor for the ranch Is
composed of Manager b. f. Dilling-
ham of the Oahu railway. Associate
Justice w. f. Frear, the McCand-
less Brothers and William Mutch
Negotiations are now pending
ing between the Hartwell and Dilling-
ham companies to amalgamate. At at
a late hour this forenoon the negotIa-
tions were still pending and the pros
poets for a satisfactory arrangement
in which the companies could come
together, We're said to be favorable.
Theo. III. Davies is known to want
the property and he is prepared 10
blu rU1 II. manager Nriliiuin y. I.o--
rie of Eva plantation will be present
at the sale in the interest of several
capitalists. He has recently visited
Molokai
1t is the intention of all these co,,,-
panies to use the land for sugar cane
cultivation. The Meyers brothers,
the sons of the late Robert W. Meyer,
superintendent of the Mololai settle
ment, will bid for the property,
with the view of continuing it as IA
ranch. 1t is believed that they will
be outbid by the other companies.
The Molokai ranch comprises the
entire west end of the Island of MoIo-
kai. Besides many thousands of ac-
res of leased land there are approXi-
mately $4,000 acres of land owned in
fee simple by the estate. The ranch
begins with the uplands at Kawela
and extends on down to the sea.
The district of Kawela was award
ed to King Lunalilo, who sold the low
lands to the natives and the uplands
to the Bishop estate.
The ranch is well stocked with cat
tie and horses. 1t is one of the larg-
est ranches in the Islands.
At Kaunakakai there is every chance
of establishing large sugar planta-
tion which will equal in acreage some
of the greatest plantations on the Is
lands, Practically, this sale will mean
the awakening of Molokai.

Appendicitis.
No Medical Cure for the DANGEROUS
Affection,

No Medical Cure for the Dangerous
Affection.
That there is really no medical cure
for appendicitis, even though some
cases recover without operation, says
the Medical News, is the opinion OF
many eminent physicians, and accord
ing to experience, though it is a surgi-
cal disease, operation may not be neces.
sary in every case, from the fact that
the ailment is a stoppage of the drain
age from the appendix to the colon, and
preliminary treatment is often worse
than useless. Thus the opium treat
ment, though relieving pain and dis
comfort, entirely masks the symptoms
of a most important time, for it is in
the first "a hours from the beginning
of the attack that physicians can decide
not only as 10 the diagnosis, but as 10
the probable course and result of the
case. 1t is found. for instance, that if
there is no increase in urgency in five
or six hours. the patient is not in i'm
mediate danger when kept at perfect
rest in bed, and if in 12 hours there is
still no increase in the severity of the
symptoms, the patient should begin to
improve. On lhe other hand, if the
urgency OF the case has steadily in
creased in IL hours from the time when
the diagnosis vas made, an operation
will probably be called for. After two
attacks a patient is sure to have third.
The Irish standard., 1898-11-12

cowardice from attempting must very
soon be undertaken, under more diff
ficult conditions, by some president
soon to be inaugurated. There will in
evitably follow reaction against this
Anglomaniac craze that is fostered by
England at vast expenses in the
United States. The people cannot be
fooled all the time, and all the people
cannot be fooled any of the time. The
whole claim of English tenevolence is
are always found out eventually, and
those who have been deceived by them
generally end by hating and despising
them. 1t will not be many months be-
fore England will be an object of con-
tempt. Then we shall hear no more of
an alliance, but great deal more of
the annexation of Canada.
Another cause of the deplorable con-
dltion of our merchant marine is the
cranky and unreasonable rule regard
ing admission to the American register.
Another cause is the happy-go-lucky in
difference of our merchants, who kept
paying freights with cheerfulness to en-
rich their foreign competitors. And
fourth cause is the neglect of the Amer
lean congress to encourage ship-build-
Ing by subsidizing ocean liners in the
same way that other nations have done.
But before our ships become nu-
merous is the time to settle this busi-
ness Of Canada. Before Canada is fully
fortified we should find annexation
simple matter. Our coast cities are
pretty we'll prepared to resist bonn
bardmcnt, and very few English ships
that would cross the sea to engage in
this business would ever find their way
back. We are superior in seamanship
to England as we are to Spain. 1t is
not the Philippine Islands that we
should annex, if we are expansionists,
but Canada. The former territory is
outside our range, and will involve us
in endless trouble. All Anglo-men are
in favor of our seizing the Philippines,
because they think that this possession
would render us dependent on English
friendship. For that reason, the pa
trlots OF America, those who prefer
American to English interests, should
oppose it.

Cardina! / ogue on the Rossrv.

I have on more than one occasion
joined in the Rosary with the Pope in
his court in til" vatican. I have joined
in the Rosary in the cottage Of the
peasant; J ave seen the beads slip
through the fiNacrs of the most learned
the hands of he ignorant-and have
seen in all tn" aame earnest, unuues-
toned reverch"c, Now it appears to
me impossible .hat this or any other
form Of devotion could be so wide
spread, or inoe'1 SO deeply appreciated
by men in every walk of life, If those
that practiced j. did not know from
their own expe'i"nce, from the expert
ence Of Other. that it was a fruitful
source Of spiritual favors.
The history o. Irish Catholicity is the
history of devo ton to the Holy Mother
Of God. We can trace it in those
churches that have been founded by the
early Irish saints in every land which
has been blessed by their teaching. In
dark and evil days it has been the
solace and support of our fathers, draw
ing together more closely those bonds
which bound them to their grand old
faith with low stronger than death.
When the priest was slain or borne
away on the higl seas to enforced ex-
lie, when the mass and sacraments were
no longer within reach, how often have
our fathers gathered around their desc
Grated altars, and within the crumbling
walls of ruined churches, recited the
Rosary. This Jovotion to the Holy
Mother OF God lins clung to the cxiled
children of our raee wherever they have
sought refuge from persecution. They
have borne it away from nome in their
breaking hearts, together with love of
the dear old land, and they have planted
it deeply and firmly in those fiourishing
young churches, il the founding Of
which they and th;ir descendants have
taken a leading part.
Everybody SHOULD have set Of beads
ond use them ever lay.

Some time ago Gen. r.. j. Morgan,
former Indian commissioner, aud pres
cnt corresponding secretary Of the
American Baptist Home Mission So
cicty, made Il statement to the effect
that large number of Roman Catholics
are leaving their own church TO unite
with the Baptist communion The nc-
curacy of the statement was immcdi-
ately challenged, whcrcupon Gen. Nor
gan wrote to Baptist mini. t"rs in nine
states to get the number Of converts
from Romanism." The total number
furnished him, without namcs, Is 313,
not such large number, nftor all 1t
may be safely said that the Catholics
who have gone over to the l'uptist.i
never reflected any credit Oh the church
OF their fathers, and are not worth
having.

The three young men of Bridgeport
who have been camping out in Henry
Morgan's woods for the past week, were
expecting five more young men, Saturday
evening to j)in them, so as to return to
Bridgeport with them. There was quite
gathering at Anchor place waiting with
fife and drum for them till half past nine ::
still they did not come. The roads were
so bad after the storm for bicycling
which made them late as 10 O'Clock,
when they reached Anchor place. The
crowd had gone to their homes quite dis
appointed for they expected to hear some
singing from the Bridgeport young men.
They enjoyed their trip so well boating,
fishing, berrying and camping out in the
country that they are anxious to come
again in the future. They are coming up
some evening this summer to do that
singing. So boys and girls of Halter
town. be ready for them when they
come.
