ROSE OF HILO.
Reception and Ball Given Our
Carnival Queen
At the Home of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs
IN BEAUTIFUL MANOA
All the Ladies and Gentlemen
Of Honolulu Bidder.
Many Officers of the goth Kan
sas Were Present.

The Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
which arrived by today's mail, has in its
issue of November s the following &C
count Of the reception rendered Miss
Rose:
There was rain last night in Honolulu
and in Waikiki, but. there were no
showers in beautiful Manoa, with it's
fresh mountain breezes, its hills and its
waterfalls and it's hedges and old stone
walls and it's wide roads and prettily
bordered pathways. Perhaps the clouds
that often carry rain from the noun
tain peaks and lose it in Manoa were
dispelled by the brilliancy radiating
from Puupueo. the valley residence of
Judge Henry E. Cooper, minister of
foreign affairs, and Mrs. Cooper. Pup
ueo was in gallant array. 1t is the
handSOmeSt mansion in the islands and
last night was sparkling throughout OF
itself and its exceptional environment
in honor of Miss Anna Rose, the Ha-
Waiian young lady who has just return
ed from the States, where she acted as
queen of the Topeka, Kan, carnival
Miss Rose was very prominent While
across the ocean and by the manner in
which she carried out the duties to
which she had been assigned reflected
great credit upon the country of her
birth and all it's people.
1t was on account of the enthusiastic
manner in which Miss Rose was praised
and notable attentions were heaped up
on her as the representative for the Oc-
casion Of the islands that Minister and
Mrs. Cooper decided to give her the To-
cal recognition which was so graceful
ly contaminated last evening.
All of the ladies and gentlemen of
Honolulu were hidden to the reception
and ball and the response was very gen.
eral. Certainly nearly all of Vanity
Fair made the journey up the valley so
favored in years agOne by native royal
ty A portion of the regular road is
closed for repairs. but the temporary
thoroughfare through a big estate is not
bad. President and Mrs. Dole were in
attendance. So were Minister and Mrs.
Damon. The attendance numbered
several hundred.
Puupueo is a stone house patterned
after the homes of the Spanish alcaldes
or estate owners of Mexico, with adap-
tatiOn to suit Hawaiian climate. Perhaps
the most striking feature of the house
is its appearance of masslveness and So
Hdity. 1t is a spacious mansion. The
principal rooms for the guests were the
large court, with banners hanging from
the ceiling and ferns banked from the
floor, the reception and the dancing hafl
and the makai lanai. The extensive
grounds were Illuminated.

The NJ. X. & T. to Erect a SIS,
900 Building at Parsons.
To Be Three Stories High and
Used For Records
STORED AT ST. LOUIS
Now, but Rents for Building
There Too Expensive.
Horton Engineer Makes Good
Showing Pay Day.

Parsons, Nov. 21.-The directors of
the NJ, K. & T. road have decided to
erect a three story building at this point
at once for the purpose of keeping the
records largely now stored away in st.
Louis. The building will cost $4,000
The records of the road now occupy
a large amount of office room, and the
cost of maintaining this department in
st. Louis amounts to three thousand
dollars annually for rent. Attorney
Sedgwick was notified that the plans
for the new building would arrive in
few days. The building is to be 40 x 100,
three stories high. The intention is to
erect the building on the north side of
the ground which has been cleared for
a park.
It has been the intention of the man
agement to put up a building of this
kind for a record building and also for
the stationery department. While in
the city Saturday President Rouse an
nOunced that he had abandoned the idea
of combining the two departments, and
that they would be separated and a
building put up for the stationery and
store keeping departments. This will
make the erecting of another large
building a necessity, and it will be erect
on the cOmpany's land on the west side
of the Katy station.

to eVade discovery for several years,
even though no such time checks had
been issued by the government for the
past six or more years. The SOuthah
time checks were sought after not only
in this city, but were handled all over
this country and as far east as Hart
ford, Conn.
With the money he realized from the
time checks, SOuthau was speculatine

NEW YORK'S HORSE SHOW
WEEK.

A taste for fine horses is expensive,
and the people who cultivate it are for
the most part rich. Being rich, they
are incidentally people of fashion, and
they form the nucleus of the crowd
which gathers once a year at Madison
Square garden, New York City, coming
from all parts of the country for the
purpose of seeing and being seen.
Probably no city in the United States
has the perpetual show of horses that
can be found in New York City, and the
ability to recognize a good horse on the
street is a qualification that pays for
itself in momentary entertainment a
dozen times a day. Horse lovers gath
er at Madison Square garden. and If
they are attentive and persevering, they
can hardly help learning something,
and if they learn how many different
sorts of good horses there are, and by
accomplishment will thoroughly repay
them for the trouble. There is a GER
tain breeziness in the atmosphere about
New York during horse show week
that this particular week is given up to
the horses. Madison Square garden IS
crowded both day and night with enthu-
Siastic admirers, and the equine thor
Oughbred, approaching the admiration,
gallopS and PAGES proudly around the
tanbark. Our picture taken from Har,
per's Weekly shows a four-in- hand be-
fore the judges. When the evenings
entertainment is over, the crowd ad-
j0urns to DelmOnico's, Sherry's, or the
tables, they laugh, talk, partake Of re-
tfreshmentS, and enjoy the hospitality
of these great and famous hostelries.
The show. which begins on Monday,
usually lasts six days, and 1t is great
show, edlfylng to the horse lover, the
anthropologist, and the philosopher,
and it is a show not to be neglected by
any one interested in horses.

GOING TO PIECES.
SPANS Sad Fate as Viewed by French
Newspapers.

Paris. Nov. 21.-The Soliel today re-
viewing at length the peace negotiations
says: How miserable is the fate of our
Spanish neighbors. American rapacity
has not left them an inch of territory
they have possessed in America since
the time of Columbus or oceanic since
Magellan But that is not the worst
of their misfortune. Their whole edifice
of political economy and administration
is going to pieces. Their parliamentary
parties, which, moreover, never had
strong root, are completely disorganized
and no one dares assume the RESPONSE
bility of power. The present ministry
remains because no one wishes to re-
place it. But it is almost poWerless be-
fore ills which threaten the country.
Touching the fate of the Spanish sol
diers who are now returning to a life
of idleness the Soliel says: If they
employ their leisure in cOnspiring, no
one can reasonably be astOnished."
The Petit Bleu says: Spain is be-
coming resigned at the idea of giving
the islands up, and the cortes will under
stand and approve of the inevitable
sacrifice"
The Figaro declares that Spain will
give in because she is powerless.
