THE NEW PASTOR.
Large Congregations at Central Uni
on Church Yesterday.

Large congregations morning and
evening welcomed Rev. William NJ.
Kincaid to the pulpit of Central Union
church yesterday.
His sermons created the same good
impression of him as "A preacher that
his brief soiourn had already created
of him as a pastor.
The morning sermon had for its
theme the rich heritage of all that is
spiritual and uplifting, of the Chris
tian. The evening sermon was a
consideration of the life of the Patri-
arch Jacob.
Mr.. Kincaid has fully sustained the
reputation that preceded him of being
an efficient pastor and an admirable
pulpit orator.
On Thursday evening there will be
social gathering in the church par
lors to give further opportunity to the
people of the church and of the city
to meet both him and Mrs. Kincaid

RUSH FOR LAND IN KEANAE
HOMESTEAD LEASE LAW PROVING
POPULAR.
Need for Good Road Before the
Lands are Opened for Settlement
Would Pay for Itself.
Maui. September II.

Maui, September II.
The natives on the Island here are
just beginning to realize what the
homestead lease law of 1895 is, and
what it offers to them.
Heretofore they have been very
shy of it, and did not want anything
to do with it, but now they have come
around, and applications for land un-
der il are very numerous. There are
some fifty Hawaiians wanting lots at
Keanae. Nahiku and Kaupo. and 9th
ers yet to be heard from. Besides
these there are many other applicants
for lands under other systems of the
law, in different parts of the Island,
and there are busy times promised for
some time to come. Keanae lands are
much sought after, and there will be
some excitement when the same are
divided and put up.
What is now a vast tropical wilder
ness can easily be transformed into a
busy and prosperous district. The
government should first put good
road through this country before it
is thrown open to settlers. if only for
its own benefit
Under present conditions the land is
worth not more than So to So an acre,
while with good wagon road through
it, it would sell for from $15 to $40
an acre, and the road would be more
than paid for by the settlers them
selves, and the government would he
out nothing. The NahiEu lands were
sold before the road was built, and
now the road will cost more than the
lands brought. and the government
will practically get nothing from the
sale of the lands.
It is hoped that some plan NAV be-
arrived at so that work on the Nihi-
lu road may he commenced soon. and
continued on to Huelo without delay.

SUPREME COURT Sitting
COMPLICATIONS FROM JUSTICE
FREAR'S ABSENCE.
First Calling of the Calendar THIS
Morning and Disposition of Cases
Made-Another Lawyer Admitted

At the opening of the supreme court
this morning Chief Justice Judd nnd
Justice Whiting occupied the bencn.
In referring to the absence of JUS
tice Frear the chief justice said that
owing to his duties on the Commis-
sion. and the possibility of his le5y-
ing for Washington in about a month
it was doubtful if he would BE- able
to take part in the business Of the
court at this session. While IL was
the rule of the court to call on one of
the circuit judges to fill vacancies, the
chief justice thought this could not be
done in the present state of affairs.
Judge Stanley was overworked with
the trials of the last term and it was
imperative that he should have a va
cation in order that he could partjci-
pate in the already large calendar Of
the next term. The members o. thc
bar were well aware that Judge Perry
was simply overwhelmed with work
Consequently the court would feel
compelled to call largely on the mem
bers of the bar to assist in the hear
ing of cases at the present term, ard
while many of them might feel del
icacy in accepting assignments for
such a purpose, still under the law it

Asparagus Growing.

The Missouri experiment station has
been experimenting for the past two
years with asparagus growing, and has
successfully grown asparagus In the
open field In mid-winter by running
steam into shallow tunnels between
the asparagus rows The asparagus
field was first covered with six or
seven inches Of heating horse manure,
and the steam forced into the soil from
the greenhouse boiler. BY this means
large yield Of fine asparagus was OBJ
tained throughout the months of De.
cember, January and February; the
finest quality being gotten in the mid.
die of January, when the weather was
coldest. Many of the sprouts were
twelve or fourteen inches long and an
inch in diameter, bleached perfectly
and very tender and delicious. The
amount Of steam required was yery
SMALL and for persons located near a
good market the winter growing Of as
paragus would prove profitable.

THE SPANISH ARMADA IN 1888,
1t Was Com posed of Craft of All Kinds,
Numbering 13O.

It Was Com posed of Craft of All Kinds,
Numbering 13O.
The total number of craft Of all kinds
composing the Armada was, probably,
13O. At least sixty were galleons of
huge size and strength, ranging from
700 up to 1850 tons burden. They were
not, however, primarily built for war
purposes, and the proportion Of guns
they carried was, as compared with
their size, not large. But, being intend
ed for long voyages, their upper works
were high out Of water and their main
timbers three or four feet thick. One
hundred years before the Portuguese
galleons, under Diaz, had doubled the
Cape of Good Hope, and, with the con-
quest Of Portugal, some Of the finest
ships In the, world passed into the Span
ish kings hands.
1t was the Portuguese galeons that
formed the van squadron of the Arma
ola, the largest of them mounting, per
haps, fifty guns, and many Of these of
small caliber. In the case of the hired
ships, except the heaviest Levantine
galleons, the proportion of guns to ton
mage was still smaller. Usually sailing
In still water, they did not carry numer-
GUS crews, but now they We're crammed
with soldiers to an inconvenient degree.

galliasses, there We're four In the fleet.
These were proper war ships, and GER
tainly did their share Of the fighting.
Like the galleons, they We're three
masted vessels, but were also propelled
by oAIs, TO pull which they carried a
large number of galley slaves. Their
prows and sterns were furnished with
heavy cannon In high castles, and they
carried smaller cannon on the broad
sides, In ports between the rowers. The
two larger each carried nearly 800 sol
diers and over 100 sailors, with $50
slaves to row. There We're also galleys
with one or more tiers Of oars a side,
many merchant and store ships, cara
vels and urcas.
The personnel of the flotilla consisted
Of over 10000 persons, including $4,000
soldiers, 800 sailors, 1000 galley slaves
and numerous hospital staff, assisted
by 1S0 priests Of various orders. The
armament was Of 1000 guns; a few
may have been GA or 32-pounders (can-

greater number were 10, 6 OF 4-pound-

She was mistaken, however, for n
little later her majesty returned with n

and plates. The old farmers wife wos
served by the princess, who, II appeors

RECENT INVENTIONS.

Washboards can be securely fastened
to tubs by a new attachment consist

placed on a rod with thumb screws to
grip the edge of the tub.
A newly designed bicycle frame Is In
the shape of a circle with the head and
running gear clamped on with screw
clamps, making it easy to adjust the
height of frame and handle bars for
any rider.
A German woman has designed a
music holder for violinS which is form
ed of wire frame fitted with clamps
to attach it to the violin head, the sheet
of music being interlaced between n
number of cross wires to hold it In
place.
Railroad cars can be quickly unload
ed by new machine which is pro-
vided with a section of tubing large
enough to receive the car, Which runs
In on two rails after which the tube is
lifted and rolled upward at an angle
until the top of chute is reached, an
opening In the tube permitting the load
to fall into the chute.
A New Zealand inventor has bicycle
which is fitted with row of small
pumps around the rim of each wheel
the pistons running on the ground to
compress air which is designed to be
stored in the frame and used to propel
the wheels.
A Virginian has designed a torpedo
carrying balloon which has the explo-
sive suspended by number of cords,
with guide rope to assist in holding II
until 1t reaches the right current of air
to carry 1t toward the enemy, when n
second cord is pulled, which ignites a
slow fuse to drop the torpedo at the
proper place.
A handy store device is a take-up at
tachment for twine holders which pulls
the end of the string up in the air after
1t Is broken off. The cord passes over

a weighted pulley hung between them
which rises as the string is pulled and
falls as it is released, taking I'D the end
