CHICAGO, Feb. 1G.-The first corn
convention ever held 10 the United
States began here to-day at tho Great
Northern hotel. About 100 delegates
are present, and more are expected.
Nearly all the middle wcstern states
are represented, as we'll as a few Of the
far western commonwealth. Arrange
ments have been made for giving q
practical demonstration Of the value OF
corn as food, a kitchen having been
opened where bread, crackers and a
number Of table d~ellcaclcs are to be
had for the asking.
Mr.. +. D. Coburn, secretary Of the
Kansas state board OF agriculture, was
chosen chairman OF the convention. He
said:
THE object of our coming together Is
to confer about the ways and means
by which Americas premier crop and
wonderful cereal may be better un-
derstood and appreciated by the world

one person in q hundred thousand COM
preherds the magnitude OF Its product,
Its money value, Its irnumerable uses
and possibilities, or Its w~ho,esomeness
as a universal food for animal and man.
The central and western states are
the home and habltatIon OF Indian corn.
The statistics show the acreage devoted
10 corn to have been In recent years
about ten per cent. greater than the
aggregate devoted to wheat, oats, bar
ley. buckwheat and potatoes; in 1896
the acreage was eighteen per cent.
greater. We hear much Of the wheat
crop, and the casual reader of the news
papers would suppose there was no
other which could rightly be compared
with 1t. Statistics. however, show that
during the last decade the value, one
year with another OF our corn crop has
been nearly doubie-ninety-nine per
cent. greater than that OF our wheat.
The value OF the corn crop In this de-
.ade has been about the sam as the
combined values of wheat, oats. barley,
buckwheat and potatoes produced In
the same period.
I'm the last three or four a we
have heard much OF silver and It's i'm
portance. and from the attention, ora
tory ard printers ink devoted to It we
might suppose that 1t was the one in
terest before which all others paled and
sank into insignifcance.
The average annual product of
American silver mines, however, DUR
Ing the three years ending with 1885 was
less than SAG, 100000, while the average
value OF American corn for each Of the
hast ten years has been nearly $685., 0o0,-

4 BELLE FROM HAWAII.

To-day Sacramento will try to ex-
/ tend to Miss Anna Rose of Hilo, ISL
and of Hawaii, the Inequalities due a
visitor from that promising territory
so recently annexed to the United
| States.
| Miss Rose, who is one of the beauti-
full and intelligent young women Of the
half-h aole (white) class of the great
island of Hawaii visits this country
| under peculiar conditions She has
come all the way from the Rainbow
Islands to act as Queen of the autumn
carnival at Topeka, Kas She will be
! the guest of Colonel and Mrs E. r.
Hamilton of Sacramento, whose daugh-
| ter, Mrs. c. K. Holiday of Topeka,
! Kas, is here as a committee to escort
the Hawaiian beauty across the CONT
nent. Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Holiday
and Agent Eastman of the Associated
Press will arrive here from San Fran
cisco at noon. After luncheon they
will escort their guest of honor through
| the city, showing her the Croker Art
| Gallery, the Capitol, Suffers Fort, and
other points of interest. The evening
will be spent at the theater, the man
ayers of the Orpheum having extended
the party the courtesy of their private
| box.
| Mrs. Holiday, formerly Miss Nettie
Hamilton Of this city, represents the
enterprising citizens of Topeka, who
| conceived the attractive and novel plan
| of having a Hawaiian lady act as
Queen of their carnival Miss Rose is
| type of the superior class in the ISL
ands. Her father is a German and
her mother a Hawaiian woman; so
| she inherits the strength of the German
| character and the fawn-like grace of
| the Hawaiians. 1t is interesting to
note the fact that her home-Hilo-is
| the chief town on the largest of the
| islands, Hawaii. It's the point of
| debarkation for all who go to the
| greatest of all volcanoes, Kilauea,
though the surf is SO rough at Hilo
| that no ship can get within several
miles of the shore. At that point all
| passengers are landed from Hawaiian
yawls, manned by the most skillful
boatmen in the world. Hilo is a land
| Of luxuriant tropical vegetation, and
| it's annual rainfall exceeds 200 inches,
being greater than that of any place in
| the world except Ceylon. To maintain
| it's record there is a shower nearly
every day of the year, and the SUM-
| shine of the interim is likely to be
| liquid.
Miss Rose comes from a land of
| legends and natural wonders. There
| the seas forever glisten in the mild at
| mosphere of the subtropics, the gar
| landed cragS shine in clear-cut out
| line against dreamy skies, while rain
bows form and dissolve so fast that
the country has long been known as
