HEARTY VOTE OF THANKS GIVEN
COLONEL PARKER.
Session Declared by Those Who have
Attended to Have Been a Pleasant
and Profitable One.

Colonel Parker concluded his course
of lectures this morning by an ad-
dress on school government. He said
he had talked of nothing else. Or
der in the individual is the limitation
of personal energy to educational
work. You are in order now if you
settle down and control yourself, that
is, attend by an act of will to every
thing that is interesting. But what
is educative work? We work togeth-
er in societies, in schools. So we
have to have a modification. What we
do for others is educative and moral
work. The only way to help our
selves is to help others. "He that
would save his life must lose it."
The work in communities is that
the energy of all the community is
limited to educative work. In that
case comes compromise. The individ-
ual may do things without regard to
others, because others are not there.
But society, democracy, is an ever
lasting compromise. We have to ad-
just ourselves to the movement; and
help it on. The trained citizen is the
highest result of civilization.
The question of how much whisper
ing or noise there should be in school
is answered by saying, just enough
to help the work. He wanted to pre-
sent the doctrine of order. Every vol
untary act has an end or aim. He
imaged that end or aim and then
moved towards it, that is, he strove to
attain it, Our motive is the move
ment of the ideal. The knowledge
wanted is that which reaches the
ideal; whatever can be used for that
purpose, is selected and adopted. All
else is thrown aside.
He summed up thus: All ideals
that are true require constant strug'
gle. effort of the mind, skill of the
body, correction of the muscles, and
in that struggle there may be pain
sorrow, but it is all for the end in
view, and it is all interest.
Colonel Parker concluded by say
ing he had never spent a more happy
three weeks than in this new world
\ hearty vote of thanks was moved
by j. F. Scott, to Colonel Parker foI
his inspiring and stimulating lecture

RED GROSS BONES.

The ladies of the Honolulu Red
Cross Society have put contribution
boxes in various stores and offices in
the city with the hope that their si-
lent appeal to generous minded peO-
pie will meet a full and liberal re-
sponse. There are. it is believed,
many who cannot afford to give large
amounts. or who have not the oppor-
tunity of paying their subscriptions
at the headquarters. who will avail
themselves of this opportunity to give
small amounts. Dollars can be Civ
en- in this way as well as quarters and
dimes. Any amount will be grateful
ly received as the various lines of
work upon which the society has en-
tered. call for the increasing eXpendi-
lures and the treasury is not over-fill-
ed to meet the emergencies that may
arise at any moment

DELICACIEs FOR THE SICK.

Eugene Rosenthal, who was with
Clara Barton and the Red Cross in
Turkey, is on the Pennsylvania on his
way to Manila. He has in his charge
about $4,000 worth of Red Cross sup
plies, tents, hospital enquipment and
that sort of thing, for Use in the
Philippines. In addition to that he
started with about $400 worth of del
icacies and supplies to be used on the
voyage. He says that owing to the
change of diet and commissariat from
camp to shipboard more of this was
used coming here than was expected
and that some of his stores were bro
ken into. For this reason he has not
sufficient for the trip from here to
Manila, and he makes an appeal for
additional supplies. He particularly
needs canned fruit, condensed milk
cocoa, soda crackers and similar deli

OUR GUESTS THE SOLDIERS
THEIR HOSTS THE PEOPLE OF
HONOLULU.
In Their Attitude Toward Each Other
They Exemplify the Spirit of Kip
ling's Most Stirring Verse.


And never the twain shall meet;
Till Earth and Sky shall presently
Stand at Gods judgment seat.
But there is neither East nor West,
Border, nor breed, nor birth,
When two strong men stand face to
face,
Though they come from the ends
of the earth.
-RUDYARD KIPLING.
There probably was never a more
concrete exemplifcation of the spirit
and thought Kipling has so wildly
expressed in lines, than in the atti-
tude and character of the troops now
with us toward the people of Honolu-
lu, and of the people of Honolulu tow
ard the soldiers.
The soldiers are sturdy, self-reliant
and asking nothing. The people are
open in their hospitality, cordial and
gracious as a proud and self respect
ing people may be.
Whether consideration is given to
the troops alone or to the relation be-
tween the troops and the citizens, the
figure of speech of two strong men
standing face to face, the meeting of
the East and West is complete.
Among the troops here are men
who have faced danger or attained dis
tinction in every quarter of the globe.
Among our own people duty has been
well done in the past unhinchingly.
What picture of self-reliant frank
ness, of unembarrassed candor, could
be more complete that the entertain
ment of the troops at the Executive
grounds this afternoon.
The men from the Pennsylvania to
the number of 300, headed by the
excellent band of the Montana regi-
ment, were marched to the govern
ment building a little before noon,
where their thousands of comrades
have been entertained before. Cap
tain George Ashley and his corps of
assistants had everything in readi-
ness, and there was no delay.
The corps of ladies who volunteered
their assistance under the able direc-
| tion of Mrs. S. f. Fuller was as large
as ever, and there seemed to be no
diminution in the quality of good
| things sent in by the ladies who could
not personally assist.
Mrs. Damon entertains about twen-
| ty-fve of the Boys in Blue at dinner
every day.
Mrs. Love has had soldier boys for
her guests at dinner and frequently
at lunch every day since the Peru
and City of Puebla arrived.
The soldery we have with us are
remarkable for their good behavior.
They wander freely round the coun-
try and we hear of no difficulty with
the people. And yet the poor fellows
themselves get into pilikia. Take for
instance couple of men. yesterday
They had forty-eight hours leave
and wandered out beyond Diamond
Head. Night came on and they were
lost. They quietly entered lot neal
the headlands and went to sleep. Al
midnight the owner found them sleep
ing comfortably on grass recently wa
tered. He suggested that it was not {
healthy location. He invited them in
to his house; gave them a good bee
and supplied them with a Dountifu
breakfast in the morning. But see
the honorable character of the men
who were quite content to have tax
en- their night in the open air ant
walk into town breakfastless. There
are very few armies that have mate
! rial all round like that.

THE MILK IN THE CocoANuT.

Mrs. Ward complains of her cocoa
nuts being stolen by the Boys in Blue.
The matter should be investigated by
the police. knowing how well the
boys behave as rule it seems odd
that they should misbehaye at this
particular house. The probability is
that they do not understand that the
trees are on private property. A
board stating that it was private
property might answer all the diff
culties and make them cease.

SUGAR AND COFFEE.

Curiously the productions of the Is
lands are almost entirely class of
articles for which the people of the
United States have in the past been
compelled to send money outside of
their own borders. Sugar, coffee, the
tropical fruits and rice, for which we
send abroad more than 100000, 900
annually, are the chief products of the
Islands, and while the quantity so
produced amounts to less tnan one
tenth of this sum, it is believed that
it may be materially increased and
to this extent our expenditures for
this class of articles be, in future,
kept within our own borders and also
among our own people.
OF sugar, of which it is said the
Hawaiian Islands are much more pro
ductive in a given area than those oi
the West Indies. the expectation in
creased from 204, ,7S4.S19 pounds in
1895 to 520,15S,232 pounds in 1897, ant
for 1898 will, it is expected, be con
| siderably in excess of last year. o.
coffee the expectation increased from
| 3,O51 pounds in 1891 to 337, 7,15S pounds
| in 1897 of rice the expectation In
creased from 3,76s,762 pounds in 1s9
to 5.499, 400 in 1897, and in pineapple
the increase was equally striking.

SUMMER SCHOOL ENDED THIS IS THE OPEN SESAME
REAL PURPOSE OF THE FORTY
CLUB.
No. 1 of the Organization Tells Its
Purposes and Plans and Proposed
Mode of Accomplishment.

Editor Star: As usual you have
distanced your two contemporaries in
your discovery of the Club of Forty"
and in the main your last two lacal
articles have been correct. Being in
position to know l will say that the
organization of the club was perfect
ed and temporary officers elected two
months before annexation became AN
assured fact. These officers have dill
igently attended to their tasks and
could now burst forth with a fully
enrolled quota of members, so numer-
Gus have been the applications for
membership. But as you first stated,
and as the name of the club imports,
there can and only will be forty mem
bers, and they are now being selected
by the cOmmittee-no more. The
forty-first man must wait for the
death or resignation of one of the ori-
ginal members, and my experience
with similar organizations in the
States teaches me that few die and
none resign.
RAID ON PURSES.
| Whether Intentionally or not, your
reporter has written his articles in
such manner as to leave the impress
sion that the purpose of the organiza-
| tion is to start raid on the purses
of the would be candidates and | see
| by editorial notes in other papers
! that this keynote is being sounded
! by those who have hitherto had a
monopoly in that business. The pur-
pose of the club is higher and It's
chief purpose and interest may be
summed up as follows:
HOW IT WILL WORK.
The selection of men for member
ship who can be trusted to stand or
| fall together; that they shall vote for
no man who shall not pledge the exc.
cutive committee to give a position to
such proper and fit person as the or.
ganization may select and such per.
son so selected may or may not be
member of the club. We want for.
w places in the distribution of pat
ronage and intend to have them, OF
do our best to defeat the men who
refuse to take our pledge when Their
names come up for our suffrage. We
do not intend to be allied to any par
ty. but to select from all such men =,
we can rely upon.
THE COMING DAWN.
The day of Capitalization is passing
away and the dawn of equal repre-
sentation in public office is breaking
The Forty" will be composed of mel
with higher motives than that o
ward strikers;" of men who are de
termined when the time comes tha
the poorest candidate will receive th
solid vote of forty men and all the,
can control among their friends, if hi
election will insure a chance of liveli
hood to one selected by us as fit u
have the place. There will be n
chasing after rich men for that woul
at once stamp piece club" all owe
the acts of the organization. We see
no financial aid. Our members ma
need it and to meet that necessit
shall insist upon representation I
the government employ, and will tr
to worry along on the salaries allow
ed by law. As you remarked editor
ally, politics ought to be every man
business" Rest assured that clea
politics will be the business or tn
"Club of Forty" and keenly that OF
mo. L."

HAWAII 5 VALUABLE TRADE
CONSUL GENERAL HAYWOOD Is
PROMPT.
An Interesting Report Upon the Is
lands and Their Resources Furnish
ed to the United States.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 1S.-The
latest and fullest information relative
to the newly acquired territory of
the United States, the Hawaiian Is
lands, has just been given to the pub
lie in a special publication by the
Bureau of Statistics. Hawaii, it is
shown by this statement, at present
imports almost everything she uses.
aside from sugar, coffee and fruits,
attention having been almost eXclu-
sively given to the raising of sugar,
all of which aside from that consum-
ed in the Islands, is exported to the
United States. Indeed, the United
States in 1896 took 1864 per cent of
the entire exports of the Islands and
supplied 1927 per cent of all the i'm
ports, and Consul General Haywood
in his report expresses the opinion
that, in case of annexation, over 95
per cent of the imports into the Is
lands would be the growth, product
or manufacture of the United States,
and adds that if the American tariff
were in force in the Islands about
100000 worth of imports which now
enter free OF duty, and are bought in
countries other than the United
States, would be bought from this
country, the free importation of fer
tilizers and coal alone in 1898
amounting to S466,319.

EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES.

The statement is not such as to en-
courage those desiring to seek en-
ployment in Hawaii. The market for
all kinds of labor, it says, is over
stocked, and it would be very unwlse
in the opinion of the Consul General,
for any one to visit the Islands with
no capital on the mere chance of OBJ
tanning employment, many of those
who have so arrived being compelled
to return disappointed. Wages on the
plantations including house and fire
wood or room and board, range from
1925 to S175 per month for engineers
and sugar boilers, $50 to SlOU per
month for blaclsmiths and carpen-
ters, $40 to SIS per month for locomU-
tive drivers, 500 to $175 per month
for bookkeepers, and $50 to $40 per
month for teamsters.

FREIGHT RATES.

Freight rates from San Francisco
are: BY steamer, S5 per ton and
per cent primage; by sailing vessels,
63 per ton and per cent primagei
while the rates to Atlantic ports are
from s. to 81 per ton, with per cent
primage, and the duration of the voy-
age from New York to Honolulu from

are three railroads which, however,
are used principally in carrying the
products of the plantations to the va
rious points of shipment and aggre-
gate about 20 miles in length.

DAISY LETTERS PORTRAIT.
Has Been Hung in the Royal Gallery London, and Is greatly Admired
 -Is Gy American Artist.

The picture of Miss Daisy Letter, which has been painted by Sargent, the American artist, now hangs in the royal gallery in London and is greatly ad- mired. Like the portraits of Mrs. and Miss Letter, this one is full length, while that of Mrs. Curzon is three-quarters length. The London press, comment ing in a tlatterinS manner on the DOT trait of the beautiful American. com pares the work of Sargent to that of Millais, and the subject with it's flutter- ing draperies, it's captivating expres- sion, and momentary action, is said to make other portaits in the room with it look garish, posed, or commonplace. Mr. Curzou has returned to the house of commons in London. Mrs. Letter says his breakdown. that was reported in the papers at Londan, was caused by overwork, His enforced absence has had most beneficial effect upon his health. He was cheered euthusiastical- ly when he returned to his place in par lament. The London papers spoke of this as an evidence of Mir Curzon's popu larity, saying further that he was al most overwhelmed with cougratua. tions by his colleagues.

NEW HOSPITAL SHIP.
The ReIIef Being Fitted Up in tEe Most Complete Manner for Ac-
 tive Service.

Surgeon General Sternberg is having the steamer Robert English, recently purchased by the government as hes pital ship and renamed the Relief, fitted up for active service. It will soon be converted into a floating hospital of the best possible type. Maj. George H. Tawrcy has been placed in charge ol the ship, which is now in the harbor of New York. It will soon be taken to key West, from which port it will ae- company the army of invasion to Cuba.
 When our forces occupy the island the hospital ship will patrol the coast, ready to receive sick and wounded sol diers. It will be in no danger from the enemy, for it will sail under the Geneva Cross flag, which will preserve it's neu. trality at all times, in accordance with the terms of the Geneva convention. IL will carry no guns, ammunition or articles coEtraband of war, save coal and stores necessary for the movement of tAe vessel and medicines and other articles necessary for the care of the sick and wounded.
 The ship will not be used as a trans port in any sense of the word. nor will ii carry officers or men or dispatches not belonging to the medical depart ment of the army Surgeon General Sternberg intends to select the most eX- perienced and efficient officers of his de. Partment to perform and superintend the work of caring for wounded sol diers. while the Red Cross society will furnish the nurses
