RG RECORD broken TOBACCO EXPERT COMING THEY PLAYED ROULETTE SCHOOL WORK exhibition
NAY BE ENGAGED TO EXPERI-
MENT HERE.
Professor Bondurant of Australia in
Correspondence With Local Capital
lists.

There is movement on foot to have
Professor Alex. j. Bondurant, head of
the agricultural department of Nicto-
ria, resident of Melbourne, stop over
in Honolulu next Spring for a period
of two or, three months to make eXpe-
riments In the cultivation of cigar to-
bacco. If carried out the scheme will
be backed by some of the best money
ed men in the city.
Professor Bondurant is native of
Virginia. and made life study of to-
bacco and agriculture generally. Be-
fore going to Australia he had the
chair of agriculture and was director
of the experiment station in the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College of AL
ALBANIA. He was recommended to the
important post at Melbourne by the
agricultural department at Washing
ton.
Early in the spring the professor is
to leave Australia for long visit to
his home. He has consented to stop
over. 1t is proposed to pay him a
salary of 5000 a month during the
time experiments are in progress and
his travelling expenses.
In letter to VIM. G.. Irwin & Co
Professor Bondurant says of the pro
iect:
From what I have seen of the soil.
on the Islands in passing | was favor
ably impressed, and with that climate
| think there is prospect of those Is
lands producing cigar tobacco of fin,
quality, provided it is intelligently fol
lowed up; but of course this is only
conjecture and the facts can only b,
demonstrated by examination and ex
periments.'
Some experiments in tobacco are al
ready under way, but have never hat
the direction of an expert. w. w. Di
mond has done the most eXtensiv,
planting here. He is following the in
structions of a large New York to
| bacco house, which thinks favorabl,
of plantation and a cigar factory il
the Islands. There are business mel
who belie'e that tobacco can he grow
here as successfully and profitably a
| in Cuba.

BIGGEST WEEK IN THE HISTORY
OF THE POSTOFFICE.
There were Received and Dispatched
Last Week 171,370 Pieces of Mail
Matter-Sunday Work Entailed.

The postoffice broke the record in
handling mails during the week De-
cember 4-10.
That week began with the mail
brought Sunday morning by the XII
nau, Claudine, w. G. Hall and other
Island steamers, arriving Sunday
morning. 1t included foreign mails
brought and dispatched by the Coptic,
Moana, Alameda and Gaelic, and of
course the receipt and dispatch of a
weeks Island mail.
In cold figures, there were received:
OF local mail, 39,5S2 letters and 14,S45
prints; and of foreign mail, 25,090 let
ters and 2O,39S prints. There was dis
patched OF local mail, 19,4S0 letters,
and 25,69S prints; of foreign mail, 20,-
$40 letters, and 5,746 prints.
This makes a total of 99,915 pieces
of mail received, and 1,464 dispatch
ed; grand total of 1850. The total
number of pieces of local mail receiv-
ed and dispatched was 99,605; of for
eign mail, 71,774.
All this mail in round numbers
nearly 175,OOO pieces was handled
promptly and accurately. The force
ullutI lHe DOSlIldSleT StlltIdl anu
Mail Agent Kenake was promptly or
hand when mail was to be received al
unusual hours, and worked actively
until it was all handled. Mails were
received promptly from steamers, anc
outgoing mails were promptly deliver
ed to steamers.
\ new feature of the work of the
postoffice and one which tests its eff
cheney is the Sunday mail received anC
handled since the new Island steam
er schedules went into effect which
bring so many steamers in late Satur
day night or early Sunday morning
The Sunday morning mail received
now at the postoffice amounts t.
about 1887 letters and 1,S06 papers
almost as much as an ordinary mai
| from San Francisco.
Santa Claus and Christmas undoubt
eddy had much to do with the phe
nomenally large mail, both local AM
foreign, of last week. They vii
doubtless continue to swell the volum
of mail until the beginning of tn
| wear.

SCHOOLS OF CHICAGO PRESENT A
MUSEUM.
For Pupils and Teachers of Hawaii
Opened at Office of the Board Of
Education.

In the assembly room of the Board
of Education ofhce there is the finest
display OF school work ever seen in
tins country. 1t is a most interesting
exhibition. To teachers the display
must be instructive as well.
The specimens include everything
from work in the primary grades up
to the normal departments. On the
walls are sketches, drawings and
paintings by the score. Some are
small and others of considerable size.
All have bearing on some specific
study or the work of some particular
department. Among the most inter-
esting are drawings of chalk on black
background. This is a new style
adopted for the normal school in Chi
cago.
On a large shelf at the side of the
room are numerous geological speci-
mems, stuffed birds and animals and
woodwork There are also schemes
for teaching various branches, count
| ing, etc. These are all arranged by
pupils in the schools.
On an upper shelf are hundred or
more books used in the schools of Chi
cago for special work. Most of them
apply to the lower grades. There are
also books on teaching, or pedagogy,
| for instructors.
All this mass of study, of entertain
ment, of knowledge and work was
| presented to Armstrong Smith for the
| pupils and teachers of the Hawaiian
| Islands. Pupils and teachers of the
Chicago schools were the donors. They
gave freely of everything. Some of
the specimens are of considerable val
ne in the states and even more price
less here. 1t would take years and
money to collect many of them.
For the present the exhibition will
be kept at the Office of the depart
ment, where teachers may see the
| specimens and look over the books.
Later room in one of the principal
schools may be allotted to it. when Is
land snerimens and school work may

equipped educational exposition.

MYRTLE BOAT CLUB.
Considering a Proposal to Join the
Oarsmen Association.

Five members of the directorate of
the Myrtle Boat Club attended busi-
ness meeting held last evening. Two
new members were elected and the
usual routine business was transacted.
An invitation from the National AS
sociation of Amateur Oarsmen of the
United States to come in was read
and favorably considered. 1t was not
deemed of special advantage to join,
however, unless the other boat clubs
of the city would become members
also. A committee to confer with the
Healanis and Leilanis respecting the
matter was appointed.

TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
TO be Acted Upon This Evening by
the Y. NJ. c. \.

At the meeting to be held in the Y.
NJ. c. \. hall at 1880 this evening the
temperance committee of the associa-
tion will present its views on recon-
mendations to be made to Congress re-
spectng the liquor business in the Ha-
waiian Islands. Then the subject will
receive general discussion. 1t is eX-
pected that some agreement can be
arrived at.
AS stated yesterday the temperance
people of the mainland are urging the
prohibition experiment in Hawaii. 4
bill to that end has already been pre-
pared. Before presenting it, however,
its advocates have asked the opinion
of the people of the Islands concern
ing it. 1t is not believed that straight
prohibition will be endorsed in any
quarter in the Islands, for well known
reasons. hut measures to restrict the
traffic in liquors will meet with ia
vor.

NOT A LODGING HOUSE.
Crew Not Allowed on the City of Co.
lumbia.


The crew of the City of Columbia
will not be allowed TO make a lodg-
ing house of that vessel any more.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Marshal
Hitchcock decided that as he was the
custodian of the vessel by order of the
court, and responsible for its safety,
he could not permit sixty or seventy
men to be coming and going as they
pleased. In the interest of all cred
itOrs, of whom the crew are the first
in preference, the deputy marshal is
trying to keep down the expenses of
the custodianship. Two men are re-
quired at the pumps, and policemen
are on guard. At the earnest request
of some of those interested. Mr..
Hitchcock consented to let the men
sleep on the vessel last night.
Application will be made to the
court for an order directing the mar
shal to secure lodgings for the men
ashore, the expense to be a lien on
the judgment for wages recovered
against the vessel.

Position of Brewers,

Brewers union No. IS. of Daven-
port and Rock Island. has adopted the
following resolutions. an outline of
which has heretofore appeared in The
ARGUS:
Whereas, The brewing industry
is seriously assaulted by the saloon
keepers. by reason of the brewers
having added the additional war tax
of 81 per barrel to the price of beer,
and
Whereas, We deem suoh action
Justiiable on the part of the manu-
facturers in all localities where the
price has already been low, as IN thi $
vicinity, and
Whereas. We believe that work
ingmen and consumers would be per-
fectlv satisfied with slight curtail-
ing of the present ample measure
rather than inviting an inferior bev-
erage. Therefore we. the United
Brewery Workmen of local union No.
%, unanimously adopt the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That we endorse the ac-
ton of the local brewer. in raising
the price, and support them in their
endeavor to retain. or possibly i'm
prove, the present quality of beer.
Resolved. That it is against the
interests of union labor and higher
wages to strain competition to such
an extent among brewers as well as
saloonkeepers so rs to remove reason
able profit.
Resolved. That it is for the benefit
of beer consumers generally to en-
courage good product rather than
one of the cheap character, to which
there would naturally he a tendency
by lowering the price.
