Since annexation various depart
ments of the Government have been
flooded with letters from the States
inquiring about the country and busi-
ness opportunities. Dozens and hun
dreds OF these refer to agriculture and
field products, and all such have been
turned over to the Bureau Of Agri-
culture and Forestry. To kill many
birds with single stone Commission
er Clark has prepared circular letter,
dealing with the subject, which will be
sent out shortly. These are some of
the most interesting extracts from 1t:
II can unhesitatingly say that the
finest climates Of the world are to be
found here. II Is only matter Of
location to get a wet, or dry climate,
or a warm or cool one; and IL in the
winter time you would like a glimpse
of snow and the bracing effect of
frost, you have only to go to either of
I the islands of Maui, or Hawaii, where
there are elevations of 1880 feet and
10000 feet respectively, with all man
ner of climatic conditions, depending
upon the altitude, and with heavy rain
fall on the windward sides and dry
climate on the lee sides. These dis
tricts are not thickly settled, in many
instances are virgin forest or pasture
as the case may be. You can Judge
for yourself what spot 1t Is for the
man of leisure who wishes to enjoy
life.
"As to business propositions
would not like to advise, but would
say come and see for yourself and
form your own judgment. l would feel
quite safe in coming here with $4,000
or $4,000 capital myself, but would ex.
pect to take some chances as else.
where, with the added feature that Is
upon us at the present time-many
persons like yourself are turning Their
eyes this way. This Is small but
very rich and fertile country; yet We
cannot give employment or opportuni.
ties to all who are coming here II We
can Judge from the letters of inquiry
received. There is such thing as
OVERRIDING matters.
There are many who have promis.
ing outlooks in coffee; it is like any
other line OF horticulture; a person
should have some native ability in tina,
direction, and should be sure to star,
in the right location with favorable
conditions. Under the proper condi
lions, for the right person, with cap
ital Of $1,000 or $4,000 1t Is certainly
worthy of thorough investigation
Nothing else is safe. in any country OF
any business, and I am afraid IL
should say come by all means and

would consider me very unsafe coun.
sellor. Itwould not care to advise any
stranger as to business chances here;
this is a fertile country, with as neai
} perfect climatic conditions as prevail
anywhere in the world. There are also
business opportunities for those hay
ing capital and who know how to de-
velop them. Climate and natural con
ditions are only allies, that need goot
generalship to bring success; they vii
not insure 1t here more than anywhere
else, further than the natural condi

THEY MAKE BIG MONEY
IN COFFEE IN MEXICO.
Mild Complaint That Profit Is I'm.

Mild Complaint That Profit is I'm.
der 80 Per Cent.
Mexico will continue to raise coffee
at handsome profit long after other
countries. less fortunately situated
with regard to land and labor, have
gone out Of the business" says Mod
ern Mexico. There has been -consid-
cradle complaint among Mexican coffee
growers during the last year owing to
the low price of coffee, but 1t was not
because they were not making money.
There Is still easily from 100 to 200
per cent margin between the cost OF
growing Mexican coffee and Its selling
price. The mild complaints are heard
because there is no longer 300 or more
per cent profit In raising the berry.
However, there are not many produc-
tive coffee plantations on the market.
Coffee can be grown In Mexico for
about 8 cents, silver, per pound From
favored districts transportation to
New York costs so cents per loo
pounds. The prevailing prices In New
York for Mexican coffee range from
to 16 cents, gold, per pound, while
some fancy grades bring higher prices
therefore, 1t is readily seen how the
profits Of 100 and 200 per cent are real
lied. No, Mexico Is not going out OF
the coffee business because the price
Is not as high as 1t was a year ago
Coffee has always stood at the head Of
Mexico's agricultural exports, and will
probably continue to do so for years
to come. During the last ten years
Mexico has exported coffee to the value
of nearly 74.OOO,00O pesos. The only

EXCHANGE IS A Co
Local Brokers Agree to
Get Together at Once.
Meet and Hear Mr.. Pollitz-Ques'
lions and Answers-A Com.
nnIttes 10 Appointed.

A meeting Of brokers and others in
terested was held In the office Of the
Bank Of Hawaii yesterday morning to
meet Mr.. Edward POLITE and talk over
the prospects for Stock Exchange in
Honolulu. Present we're: George r.
Carter, H. Armitage, Willard E.Brown,
VIM. A. Love, J. H. Fisher. E. C. Mac
farlane, Theo. F. Lansing, Charles
Hustace, ]. w. Luning, b. r. Banning.
w. M. Graham and Mr.. Pollitz. George
r. Carter, who presided, introduced
the latter.
Mr.. POLITE said that since his ar
rival In Honolulu he had inquired in
to the system of handling stocks and
had found the same conditions that
prevailed in San Francisco twenty
years ago, when he first entered the
business. There. then, as here now,
the brokerage business was done on
the streets and by brokers individually.
1t was unsatisfactory In every way
and unbusinesslike. The business was
handicapped greatly and both sides
iabored in the dark.
In, financial centers exchanges are
necessary. Where a large amount OF
stocks are handled there are few in
situations so important. Here in Ho-
nolulu, with the large and growing
business in stocks, the matter Is sc
vital that it should not be neglected q
moment. The eyes Of financial centers
are now fixed on the Islands and Ha.
waiian securities. There are In the
United States immense amounts Of
money awaiting just such a field as IL
here offered for investment. Intefes,
there is low and money Is a glut In the
market. Sugar securities are being
sought in the United States and ir
Europe. Naturally Hawaiian Island.
sugar stock comes in for a most i'm
portant place.
An exchange brings capital 1ht
those seeking capital together. With
out q common center OF this kind
broker must hawk his securities oh thu
streets, with hard work to maxi
sales and frequently unsatisfactory re
suits. The exchange will bring ou
valuations.
During his talk, lasting more thar
an hour, Mr.. POLITE read from Sar
Francisco stock reports and gave thu
details OF operations on Change. HI
was frequently questioned by thos'
present on various points and repliet
promptly and satisfactorily. After hi
address 1t was decided to proceed a
once with organization. A COMMITTEES
Of Ave was selected to prepare plan
and draft set of bylaws, to be sub
mitted at q second meeting to lie HEX
In the very near future. George r
Carter, J. H. Fisher, e. c. Macfarlane
willard e. Brown and Harry Arm
itage constitute the committee.
A member Of this committee, seel
after the meeting, said that In outlin
ing scheme the experience Of the Sal
Francisco Exchange, as related by MI
POLITE, would be used to profit. Rule
and systems found to work well Their
would be initiated as nearly as pos
sible. In It's work the committee will
frequently seek the opinion and ad
vice Of Mr.. Pollitz. 1t is expected tina
the committee can complete Its labor
in the next two weekf

THAT ANCIENT CONUNDRUM.
What BECOMES OF the Millions of
Pins Manufactured?

Who has not heard the question:
What becomes of all the pins?" Mil
lions of them are made in a year. mil
lions are sold. and yet the supply no more
than keeps pace with the demand, which
seems to be growing enormously all the
time.
BY a computation made ten years ago
il was shown that at that time the week
ly production of pins in Great Britain
was 2S0. .eo0.000. Then l20.0o0,000 were made
in France, and 120.e00,000 in Germany,
Holland, and Belgium.
Since that time the production of pins
has increased largely. The biggest pin
manufacturing city in the world is Bir-
mingham. where $1,000 900 pins on the
average are manufactured every work.
ing day. The other pin factories in Eng
land together turn out about 10,e00 900
pins daily.
The daily output of pins in France ex-
ceeds 20.000 900 and Germany and other
countries I'm Europe manufacture about
l0.0OO.0 90 more daily, the total production
of pins being So. 100000 every day-e02, ,0o0,

This is. of course, exclusive of the fac
tories i'm the United States, which num-
ber forty-five, giving employment to 1.600
persons. and turning out in a year pins
to the value of about 81 100000. 1t is cal
culated that only about 1 per cent OF the
pins manufactured are worn out or brok-
on; the other 50 per cent are lost.

JUVENILE NOTIONS OF BEAUTY.
Original Views of Lovely Sights in
Childrcn's Ewes.

That children have peculiar ideas of
beauty was shown during one of Miss Is
abel Rhys' recent lectures ut the College
of Preceptors, in Manchester, England.
On one occasion, she said. she gave her
class OF Young children five minutes 10
think Of the most beautiful thing they
had ever seen. and the following original
and rather surprising answers were Civ
en-:
"A starfish and a sponge, pink silk.
"a monkey at the Zoo. IA toy house with
a man trying to get in and his wife keep
ing him cut because he was drunk"
Other faVorites were the sun snow, the
rain. butterfly. gold brooches. a ship
with sails. stars, and "A house with snow
dropping off it," Miss Rhys gave her
pupils "A whole evening To reconsider their
aesthetic opinions, but the result was no
better. she said. The boy who thought
the ship with sails the loveliest object
he had ever seen decided in favor of
steamer with lots of smoke, and the little
;srl who liked TO see snow drip from the
roof OF house added narrow street

only one case. that of little boy. was the
second decision an Improvement on the
first. Instead of steam engine running
along i'm the sunshine he substituted a
country scene having a stream with gold
en- bracken and the sun shining upon it.
The little ones. Miss Rhvs said, were
the children of well-to-do parents and
had lived among the beautiful the great
er part of their lives. Not one of their
number had ever been impressed by a

MYTHICAL NOTIONS OF WOMEN
4 Contrast Between Homeric Era
Idylls and Modern Roma0cps

Miss L. NJ. Ford gave the first of a
series Of Lenten conferences at Sherry :
in New York. yesterday morning. The
subject was. The Primitive Woman as
Seen i'm Myth Poetry Versus the Mod
ern Woman as Seen in Fiction.
Miss Ford explained that the origin of
MYTHS was to know the great truth
and only in this way can we have a gem
eric conception Of woman. There are
more myths in Greek poetry than i'm any
other. and the touch of poetry is always
the true touch of life. The speaker
then compared the idealistic and aes-
thetic feminine idea of the Greeks with
the ethereal and more practical concep-
tion of the Hebrews.
The characteristics of the Greek ideals
were beauty. fidelity and charm. TAX
ing her hearers still further East. Miss
Ford took up the HindOo woman. which
embraces the altruism of life, a calmness
and intense love of nature. The pecul-
iarities of the women of the middle ages
were alluded 10. and the natural evolu-
tion into the modern woman. who be-
gan to feel that it was time she did
some of her own thinking.
The new woman was considered an
exaggerated form of this DEVELOPMENT.
which has finally toned down into the
conviction that, while woman may do
many new things, she will succeed best
in doing them in the old intuitive and
feminine way. which has always been
greater than pure masculine force.

A Horse on Both of Them.
Trom the Kansas Citv Star.l


The newly arrived guest at the West
Side Family Hotel told the clerk that
he wished 10 have a horse and buggy
for ride out to an Unfrequented su-
burb. The clerk called up a livery
stable by telephone. and ordered the
horse sent 10 the hotel.
About ten minutes later a physician
who had a patient in the hotel. drove
up in front of the place and hitched his
horse, and went upstairs. A watchful
bellboy saw the horse and buggy in
front of the hotel. so he notified the
newly guest that il was wait
ing at the door. The visitor thanked
him. jumped into the carriage and
drove away.
Five minutes later the physician
came down stairs and discovered that
his horse and buggy was gone. He
raised an alarm, and then started TO
telephone the police. This alarmed the
bellboy, and he confessed that he had
made a mistake.
Which way did ne go?" shouted the
doctor.
Il don't know" said the bellboy.
1t appeared that the physicians
horse had been driven about twenty
five miles already and was in imme-
diate need of feed and water.
Il wouldn't have had it happen for
la hundred dollars" said the doctor as
he stormed up and down.
There was nothing TO be done except
wait for the return of the stranger. He
came back late in the afternoon. having
driven for five hours, and complained
that the horse was mo good. The
doctor was waiting for him, and want
ed to fight as soon as he saw the horse.
But the bellboy who had caused all
the trouble had obtained leave of ab-
sence and had gone to the matinee.

Diphtheria Among Cats.
From the Minncapolis Tribune J

(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)
Webster City, Ia, Feb. 2i.-An epidem-
ic of a peculiar disease is destroying the
lives of all the cats i'm this vicinity. The
malady broke out about two weeks ago
among the household pets and has con-
tinued with no abatement until the pres
ent time. when il is estimated that over
800 have died in this immediate vicinity
The highways in the country are strewn
with the carcasses of dead cats. The cat
is afflicted first with sore throat. The
throat rapidly swells and all nourish-
ment is refused Slowly it Starves to
death, and the fact that all the carcass
es have lean, gaunt bodies and largely
swollen necks indicates that they all die
from the same cause. The symptoms are
SO allied to diphtheria that the greatest
alarm exists where there are afflicted fe-
lines dying, and the greatest care is be-
ing exercised in treating and handling
them. So far no cases have been trans
mitted to human beings by the diseased
cats. but all the reputable physicians of
the city say such thing is possible. and
they recommend that the cats be killed
as soon as their throats become affected,
