HANATS PLACEA OMAHA
ISLAND EXHIBIT ATTRACTING
ATTENTION.
Good Work Done by Commissioner
Shingle-Excellent Results May be
Expected from the Showing Made.

A letter has been received by The
Star concerning the Hawaiian Exhibit
at Omaha and Commissioner Shingle,
who has charge of it. The letter is
at once fatteripg to Mr.. Shingle and
complimentary to the merchants and
planters who so literally contributed
to the exhibits and to the government
officials who arranged and designed
the exhibit as a whole. And if any
thing like the results from it which
are pictured, are attained, it will
prove a most satisfactory investment
for the country.
The writer says:
81 have become well acquainted
with your Hawaiian commissioner,
Robert Shingle, and | must say that
my first impression of him has be-
come not only confirmed but increas-
ed, in that / think he is one of the
brightest and most affable young men
| have ever met. / do not think there
is person on your Islands who could
have gotten more people interested in
your country than he. His descrip-
tive powers are great. He has been
working very hard, and | think he
should take things easier, as either
this climate. or his work has reduced
him considerably in flesh. He has
gotten all of his exhibits that have
arrived in good shape now. He has
been bothered on account of the delay
in receiving a portion of his exhibits,
part of same not having yet arrived.
He is now working with Colonel Has
kell, owner of the Minneapolis Times,
and whose father is also owner of the
Boston Herald, to take excursions to
your Islands, and it is my opinion
that the result of his work will be that
you will have hundreds, perhaps
thousands of tourists visit your coun-
try from the Trans-Mississipp region
during the next six months.
"The attendance at the Exposition
has greatly increased, and we expect
enormous crowds during the next two
months, and it is my opinion that Ha-
waii will get better returns from the
money she has expended than any of
the other exhibitors"

FOR H|LO'S ADVANCEMENT
PROJECTS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
HARBOR.
Bright Prospects in the Future for
the Second City on the Islands and
the First on Hawaii

Advices from the United States say
that good deal is to be done for the
improvement of Hilo harbor. AS soon
as Professor Pritchett gets to work,
the exact lines of improvement will
be laid out, but everything points to
extensive works which will make the
second city of the Islands fairly boom.
This is another of the many advant-
ages the Islands will reap from annex
alton. 1t does not look at all likely
now that the plantations should fail
and grass grow in the streets of the
two chief cities, as was prophesied by
one disgruntled individual some time
ago.
The Islands are very like piece of
property which has been held by a
man of moderate capital who has
been unable to develop his estate
properly. Let it fall into the hands
of man with ample capital and it is
wonderful what Improvements will be
made.
1t the matter of harbors a great
deal will be done in the next few
years, and it will not only be Hilo
that will be benefited but other ports
on Hawaii and Maui will feel the ad
vantages of annexation and the guild
ing hand of Uncle Sam.

A STOCK EXCHANGE HERE
BROKERS AND INVESTORS ARE
CONSIDERING IT.
Conditions Which Prevented Organi-
zation a Year Ago Have Changed,
While the Need is More Imperative

There is considerable interest man
ifested i'm the suggestion for the or
ganization of stock exchange in
Honolulu. About year ago an effort
i'm that direction was made but one
or two influential brokers held back
and the effort was abandoned at that
time. Now the opposition that de-
feated the project then has ceased and
the auspices seem favorable for car
rying out the plan.
1t was pointed out by a broker this
morning that with the interest which
has been aroused in Hawaiian secu-
rites both in the United States and
Europe. evidences of which are COM
ing to light in all directions, must re-
suit either in the establishment of an
exchange here. or the listing of the
principal securities with American
stock exchanges, the opening of Offices
for the transfer of stock in America
and the transfer of the business of
dealing in Hawaiian securities from
here to other places.
Buying and selling will be conduct

are made, so that the buyer can feel
assured he is purchasing at the lowest
market price and the seller that he
is selling at the highest, at the time
of the transaction.
stock exchange, too, with it's
regular daily quotations based on
actual transactions publicly made,
would add greatly to the volume of

white, all white" was the reply.
THE manager will be A. c. Smith,
now in charge of the laundry of the
Palace hotel at San Francisco. He
is man who thoroughly understands
his business and we have had to pay
"A stiff salary to get him. He will
bring with him five experienced hands
which will be enough to start with.
AS our business increases these five
people will teach others and in time
become the heads of their particular
branches"
AS to prices?" Mr. Winston.
'Well, that has to be decided on af-
ter our manager looks over the field.
On straight work, | mean washing
and ironing only, we can underbid ev-
en- the Chinese laundries, as we use
steam in place of labor. From the
washer the clothes go into centri-
| fugal drier and then to the patent
mangle, and the job is done in two
hours or less. No Chinaman can COM
pete with the machinery we have For
fancy starched work we shall have
our own prices. We do not expect
very much of this work at first. but
when people see the class of work we
turn out we think they will be will
! ling to pay reasonable prices. / can
say that our charges for shirts, col
lars, cuffs and such articles will be
less than San Francisco rates. Where
time is an object we can take clothes
in the morning and return them the
same dav. or if necessary in three
hours. With our facilities we expect
a large patronage from the steamship
lines, who have heretofore not had

DIFFICULTY LIES IN THE SMALL
MAINS ON KING STREET.
There is an Abundance of Water for
General Purposes but Not Enough
to Battle a Regiment.

Connections were made last night
with the new 5000 gallon tank which
has been erected at Camp Mckinley,
and a full force of water turned on.
This morning there was about four
feet of water, or 5000 gallons, in the
tank. Speaking about the matter,
Captain Pratt of the water works Of
flee said: '"There is no trouble with
the water, the fault lies with the men
and the mains. The principal difficult
ty we have to contend with is the
smallness of the King street main.
From Thomas square to King street it
is only four inches and from the cor
ner of the Waikiki road to the Sun
ny South six inches. From there on
the main is eight inches in diameter.
Now we can't fill an eight inch pipe
from a four inch, consequently there
is little pressure when the water gets
out to Waikiki. But we are furnish
ing an abundance of water at the
cam for all practical purposes, and if
the men would stop wasting it the
tank would fill up in a short time.
During the time we were trying to
fill it last night there were dozen
taps running and men around each
stripping to the waist washing them
selves. There is no reason for vast
ing water in this way as the men can
get all the sea bathing they want for
little or nothing"

END OF THE REGULARS.
Will be Withdrawn from Active Mill
tary Service.

Colonel Fisher will tonight promul-
gate the order withdrawing Compa-
nies + and + from active service with
the end of the month. Their officers
will be directed to turn over to the
quartermaster's department all the
quartermaster's stores in their pos
session.
The effect of this order and the dis
continuance of active service, so far
as the military organization is con-
cerned will be simply to put these
companies on exactly the same foot
ing as the other companies of the reg
iment. OF course doubtless the per-
sonnel will change. Many of the men
will find employment elsewhere and
will in consequence sever their con
nection with the National Guard. 1t
is expected that the officers will re-
main and the companies will be re-
cruited as other companies are.
Active military services on the part
of the National Guard. however. will
cease with the end of the month.

that promoted for gallentry on
the field of battle. The men
rose on their merits as men, and
nothing else. "
There is one thing about our
foreign citizenship, as soon as they
have been in this country long
enough to get a taste of liberty in
all Of its phrases, they become
Americanized and will take up arms
even against their mother country
and they make the very best
soldiers too. Take Germany for
instance, we have three million
Germans in this country, and
should a war spring up between
this country and Germany, we
venture to say that the per cent of
Germans who would wish to return

arms against their adopted country
would indeed be small We have

as soldiers and there has been none

EAST SIDE COURT.

Recorder Murphy, Attorney Sol

size matinee this morning at the
halls of justice.
The bench of repentance was oc-
cupied by three white men and
three negroes.
The white men were charged
with vagrancy, having been caught
in one of the Iron Mountain box
cars asleep, which Recorder Muir
ply regards as one of the worst
crimes a vag can commit as he
thinks a good bed of leaves out in
the woods by log fire would be
more preferable, he is trying to
work up the habit of sleeping on
the hard and greasy floor of a car
and run all such sleepy inclined in
divlduals into the country.
The first case called was j. e.
Ellsworth, he sang his song, but as
he had not taken conservatory
course during his school period, it
did not go with Recorder Murphy
and he wrote down guilty after his
name.
Tom Watson did not deny the
charge that he was vag, a man
without fixed habitation and no
Job, but he wanted work badly.
