REV. J. A. CRUzAN
Will Be the Orator on
May 80.
Remains Over for c. A. r. Com
ades-MemOrial Day Invita-
tons Going Bloomington.

Rev. J. A. Cruzan yesterday came to
the conclusion that the United States
could spare him for a week or so be-
yond the period allotted for his visit
to Hawaii This being decided, the
popular preacher will be the Memorial
Day orator and will be heard in the
pulpit here again next Sunday. 1t is
chiefly upon. the cOaxing of G. A. R.
comrades that Rev. Mr.. Cruzan re-
mains.
The Memorial Day program has been
outlined by the Geo w. de Long Post,
G. A. r., and is we'll in hand. 1t will
be along the old lines. The day is
Monday next, the 3Oth. On Sunday,
the religious services will be held at
the First Methodist Episcopal Church
in the evening. On the next day there
will the procession to Nuuanu ceme-
terry, the decoration of graves in the
G.. A. r. plot and elsewhere, the music,
saluting and the grafton.
Geo w. de Long Post is now send
ing out the invitations for the eXer-
cises on the Goth. Concerning the
church services there will be a notice
published The G. A. r. Post invites
the u. S. Gunboat Bennington officers,
an escort from the vessel in war paint
and an escort from the National Guard
of Hawaii. The communications go
respectively to Capt. Nichols, u. S. n.
and Col Fisher, n. G. H. 1t is be-
lieveG that the Bennington, if still in
port, will send a strong battalion for
the march up the valley from Har-
mony hall on King street. 1t has been
the custom in the past for all of the
National Guard to parade as an escort
for the veterans. Just how many com
panies will be sent this time cannot
be determined upon till about the day
for turning out.
Chas. H. Eldredge, who SO many
times has been grand marshal on Me
mortal Day, will be missed this time.
His body has gone to the grave and his
soul to the last bivouac. Memorial
Day is observed here with more feel
ing than in most towns in the United
States Over there it is an occasion
for big athletic events. Here the day
is given over entirely to such ceremo-
MES as it's founders had in mind as
proper and appropriate.

One always wants the best of every
thing that can be procured for the
money and w. c. Peacock & Co. say
there is only one best, and that's 'THE

The Subscription List.

J. B. Atherton, chairman of the FL
nance Committee of the Big 100, has
left the subscription list with the
Hebron Drug Company. 1t will be
there and open till after the arrival
of the S. S. Mariposa, expected tOmor-
row. 1t is the wish of the Finance
Committee that every citizen interest
ed in the entertainment of the Boys
in Blue" make some contribution to
the general fund. So far the eXpendi-
lures have been very light. 1t may
also be said that men of means have
been extremely liberal. 1t is cOnsid-
cred. proper, however, that all citizens
show their good will and interest by
placing their names on the subscrip-
ton list for some amount.

THE YACHTS.
Repairs and ImprOvents, With
Cruising Proposed.

Cruising Proposed.
The big yachts here are all getting
ready for the summer season, when
the Saturdays and Sundays are spent
cruising about outside from Diamond
Head to Pearl Harbor. Mr. Johnson
yacht, that of Mr.. Dow and the Pokii
were all out on Sunday and the repairs
and improvements they have under
gone showed to good advantage. 1t
might be said of Mr.. BOWS yacht that
there has been an increase in the lead
keel and that the old spars and sails
have been replaced by the owner. This
gives her greater speed than before
and makes her more easily managed.
The yacht Hawaii has been cleaned
and has been painted both inside and
out a cruise will soon be taken to
Pearl Harbor. T.
The Helene, w. G. Twins yacht. is
being repaired and put in order under
the direction of Fred Whitney of the
firm of w. G. Irwin & Co. She will be
put in first class order and will then
be able to hold her own with the very
best.
There is talk of a run to Pearl Har-
Dor very soon, of several of the yachts
that are now being fixed up for the
summer season.

Parliamentary Point.

Vice-Speaker Kaai has habit of
not recognizing the various members
of the House when they rise to the floor
to speak on various matters. This has
been the cause of some very loud call
ing of Mr.. Speaker" in the House and
the very much used remark: He
must be deaf" When Speaker Kaulu-
kou was away on leave during his
first siege of illness, one of the mem
bers of the House came very near in

New York, Nov. 1.-The dry goods mar
ket was rather quiet to-day with fair
number of buyers seeking goods. The
home buyers have not changed their pur-
chasing policy, but their actual require
ments are enough to assure a steady de-
mand for cotton goods for prompt de-
livery of fair proportions.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. with the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange closed there was
a disposition to be cautious in this mar
ket; few orders came from the South.
1t was also reported that holders of spot
cotton in the South were making Il
stand against any further decline, and
that they were refusing TO follow to-
days decline in f utures. Our market
opened steady with process unchanged to
= points under yesterdays final figures,
under which there was a further decline
of to 3 points. The weakness was due
to the indications of very heavy move
ment of cotton oil all over the South,
supplementing disappointing cable ac-
counts from the English market There
was a bearish construction placed upon
the fact that spot sales at Liverpool had
reached only 10000 bales, notwithstand-
ing the reduction in spot prices, making
the figures Sd for middling uplands,
which many have claimed would be the
turning point when English spinners
would become very heavy buyers i'll antic-
ipation of their wants for the remainder
of the season.
The superb weather prevailing in the
cotton belt furnished another feature of
weakness, and for time local bears
showed a tendency to pound the market
with energy. But the movement in this
direction soon petered out, as the mar
ket without any special buying in sight
showed considerable resistance. In the
afternoon the phases of the market We're
in holders favor! but the chief demand
continued to come from shorts. The mar
ket closed steady at a net gain Of / to

Once Charles I sent Ben Jonson,
as poet laureate, 91OO a year and a
tierce of Spanish canary. No such
generous drink comes now from
Queen Victoria to lend sparkle and
vivacity to Mr.. Austin's verses.
Once DR.. Johnson, "the real p1imate

Carlyle, declared roundly and with
out ahocking anybody, Brandy,
sir, is the drink for heroes. 1t is
not thus that primates and teachers
of any land now hearten their wav-

alton Of his verse. It is not in this
graceful fashion that authors now
