THE USUAL CRIME
Attempted Near Charlottesville
Prisoner Spirited Away.

are about as follows:
Miss Hotopp came 10 this city between

bill ever seen az the resort were not fruit
less. for without any doubt the public
will be entertained Throughout the week
by an unexcelled array OF vaudeville
talent. Mr.. and Mrs. Brewing carried of

melody of wit and humor. and some pop
ular songs. that were made doubly popu-
lar by the artists. who retired only after
many encores. John T. Tierney juggled
with his Irish brogue. and made many
laughs by his humorous illusions 10 local
celebrities. The dainty little soubrette,
Miss Flossie Sinnott. became an imme-
date favorite. Rice and Elmere last night
pleased the audience with their athletic
comedy, the "Rube and the Chinaman."
The Warscope closes the bill with many
excellent and actual scenes of the Span
ish American war. displayed with clear
ness and animation upon large sheet.
The audience at times was wrought up
TO the highest pitch Of patriotism.

The field is occupied by those
who for forty years have been deve.
loping this Industry, extending aud
consolidating their interests.
The low lying fat land Of the
country with abundant water sup
ply, a considerable part OF the
whole, is wholly occupied by rise or
taro planters, who have engaged in
those planting occupations for many
years.
There does remain still, a con-
siderable area disposed of as surveys
are completed and as old leases e1-
pire, principally of lands suited to
coffee cultivation and small farming.
With reference to lands suited to
coffee cultivation it may be said, that
the same are in general forest and
bush lands, requiring much labor
and expense in clearing. Being in
general, away from present main
lines OF travel, they are at q dis
advantage as regards roads, and it
is inevitable that for some time,
trails more or less rough, must take
the place of wagon roads. For the
development of coffee plantation
even of moderate size, capital is
needed. Good intentions and in
dustry alone will not suffice.
AS far as am able to learn the
expense Of purchasing, clearing,
planting and caring for coffee
plantation during the FIVE years ne
cessary to produce paying crops is
not less than from $3.50 to 5000 per
acre, and with this must go all the
careful management without which
expenditure is OF little avail. Draw
backs of various kinds are common
to all agricultural enterprises, and
huctuation in prices prevails, in the
coffee market as well as in others.
AS to small farming it may be
said, that while an admirable eli
mate and fertile soil would probably
ensue to an industrious person all
that would be needed for his own
sustsnance, the question of addi-
tional profit is difficult one to
answer. The local market is easily
supplied and is in fact reason ably
we'll supplied at the present time.
What future demands will be, or
what new crops may be profitably
grown, it would be dangerous to
predict.

Experience, economy, and hard
work will have much the same value
that attaches to those qualities
elsew here. In other words, this is
no agricultural "Klondike" where
nuggets lie about loose. The
condition here is much the same at
the present time as in other pros
porous civilized countries.
With every desire to encourage
aud assist any one seeking to find or
better his fortune in Hawaii, would
still say:
Don't come as sort of forlorn
hope, without experience, without
money, trusting to good luck. Good
luck is as shy here as across the
water.
Don't come to plant coffee with
out necessary capital.
Don't expect to 6ud country
where hard work, care and economy
are not necessary.
Don't come without getting all
reliable information that you can in
advance.
Don't come within the next six
months, for surveys must be made
Of lands to be opened.
Don't come to speculate in land, (,
for the present Land Act was in
tended to prevent that, and ac-
complishes its purpose fairly well.
But il you wish to come after fully
considering the matter, aud can
bring experience and energy, with
enough capital to insure you against
any danger Of want, and enable
you to study the situation on the
ground before making a final de-
cision, it is safe to say that you will
be welcome. and what has been a
kindly country to others, may prove
so to you.

the small farmers and agriculturists
in general. The letter OF Mr.. j. F.

lands available here for settlers who
believe that muscle and energy are

grants to Hawaii. And he goes fur
ther in telling the men with capital
that even they will find it extremely
difficult to find a profitable invest
ment for their moneys in Hawaii.
