DELAY ENDED.

There has been delay of an exceed
ing vexatiOus nature in the matter Of
proceeding with certain public works
that were considered by members of
the Government as necessary in the
highest degree. In the first place the
Legislature was slow in apprCpriating
or allowing the money. Then came an
neXation, making a number of ques-
tions or matters of financial moment
somewhat uncertain. Next followed
the visit of the Commission, rather in
terrupting the sessions of the Cabinet
by depriving 1t of the presiding officer
most of the time

ACTION.

Now the engine of the Government
is ready for business again. Tine decks
are cleared through the use Of ener-
getic advice and action opens with a
vengeance. Scarcely a State in the
Union will be doing as much for itself
present and future as Hawaii will
have on hand in few weeks.
Here is a partial list of what is to
be done, all authorized and ordered at
that Cabinet meeting last Saturday
morning:

CHINESE LOADED WITH MONEY.
Remarkable Discovery in the Clothing
of Two California Celestials.

Remarkable Discovery in the Clothing
of Two California Celestials.
The turnkeys in the Los Angeles
county Jail had an interesting expert
ence recently on the arrival of two Chi
nese from San Diego, pending deporta-
ton. The men had been searched by
the San Diego officers, and were re-
ported to have no articles on their per-
sons, but the Los Angeles Jail officials
thought it would be just as we'll to ap-
ply their methods of investigation, and
the outcome was lot of money, mug
gets and gold dust.
The coolies had little packages of
gold dust carefully packed away be-
tween each toe; others were braided
into the strands Of their queues; bank
notes were cleverly stitched into the
lining of their hats and the creases OF
their clothes. In fact, almost every
place, mentionable and uncomfortable
where coin, bills or gold dust could be
hidden, contained Its quota, the total
found amounting to something over SAC
in bills, as much more IN silver, and nc
one knows exactly how much In gold
| dust from Lower California mines.
The money of course belongs to the
| Chinese, but if they had been allowed
| to keep 1t on their persons while locked
up, they would surely have been robbed
of every cent of it by the other prison
ers.-San Francisco Examiner.

SHORT DAY PROVES A SUCCESS
EuS1ish Firm Lessens Work Hours
and Finds It Pays.

and Finds It Pays
The just-issued report Of Short Broth
srs, prominent shipbuiiders on the
Wear, in Sunderland, England, on their
seven years experience under the eight
aour system of labor is attracting great
attention among British shipbuilders
md other employers of labor to whom
the shorter workday has long been
troublesome question. The experience
" this British shipbuilding firm, In fact,
demonstrates not only the feasibility
but the desirability of the eight-hour
day for employers as we'll as workmen.
1t declares itself convinced that under
this plan the men do not lose so much
lime, but really work more hours than
they did seven years ago under the Old
system.
The firm has found, too, that instead
Of the production being less from the
shorter hours of work 1t has, on the
contrary, gradually increased since
1891. The firm took up the system IN
the belief that 1t could get the same
amount of work out of their men by
better method. Under the old system
Of the men working on time wages 10
,r 20 per cent. lost the first quarter OF
the day, while the piece men scarcely
ever started before $50. The men
started at 6 o'clock, stopped at fol-
aalf an hour for breakfast, had another
interval of an hour at noon and the
DAYS work was finished at s. The con
ditions were such that many workmef
were physically incapable of enduring
the long hours.
1t was then quite common for mar
to lose on an average three-quarters OF
day per week simply because he was
unable to rise every morning at
o'clock and work full time. From 10 Il
20 per cent. of the men never started
work till after the first quarter nat
, been lost. Under the forty-eight hours
system the men start-after breakfas
. at $50 and 60 on with only one breal
= until o'clock, and they are able to q
;. more work this way than under the Oh
;, system. and at the same time NOR
n work Is got out of the machines, the RI
= suit being an increased output and
decreased cost. Under the tifty-thre
hours system, according to the Shol
Brothers report, the men did not ave
a age anything like eight hours day
fact, some of them did not average nv
. hours, owing to the time they lost.

THE OLD FARM.
I love to dream about the days

love to dream about the days
/ spent upon the farm;
The theme is rich in memories
That never lose their charm.
Though early lured away by tales
OF traffic's golden rain,
How oft, how oft I've longed to turn
Back to the farm again!
I've toiled for gain in busy marts
And scorned the paths of ease:
I've wooed with fervor fortunes smiles,
Across the briny seas;
But neither tabled wealth of Ind
Nor fame's ambrosial wine
Could eer afford the lost delights
OF that old home of mine.
There every humble duty bore
OF rich reward its need,
And sweet approval gave a smile
For every kindly deed;
There peaceful sleep did wait upon
Each day of toll and care,
And hope gave strength each dawning
day,
Its burden new to bear.
There peaceful scenes on every hand
Did e'er beguile the eye;
The woods, the hills the winding streams
Rejecting azure sky;
The kline, contented, browsing DER
The blossom broidered void;
The ewes and lambs, at wane Of day,
Returning to the fold
All filed my little world with joy
And babe brief sorrows fly,
AS soothes the infants griefs away >,
A mothers lullaby.
Nor sordid aims did mar the flow
OF innocent delight,
| While honor's precepts were instilled
With loves persuasive might.
| Then take me back, oh, take me back
To that fair spot once more,
To me more lovely than the famed
Estates of classic lore!
Oh, take me back and let me rest
There, safe from grief and harm,
To spend my brief declining days 7
Upon the dear old farm! IL,

might be something of hers In one OF
the magazines. His quick eye caught
her name, and he slipped the publica
ton into his pocket.
Then he finished the errands and
walked rapidly toward home, his hand
still closed on the letter, and his mind
specializing as to what 1t would say.
Would 1t tell of some new success!
How proudly he had watched her ca
reer! Perhaps 1t would say she had de-
cided to stay another six months In
New York.
Well, never mind. He could stand 1t,
and the end would be so much nearer.
The letter felt thin. After all, prob
ably 1t was but hurried note. to tell
of some sudden pleasure she wanted to
share with him.
His heart gave bound. Any way,
| 1t was from her-that was enough.
The words were so few.
"My next move may surprise you"
he repeated.
| A quick fear seized his heart.
He turned the page for more, but
that was all. Not even signature.
"She must have left out the rest by
mistake" he said, as ne held the open
page In his hand. "But whatever the
move Is, know 1t must be right"
His eyes travelled fondly to the face
smiling down the wall.

He rose early the next morning. Il
was only just growing light, but hill
sleep had been broken, and he would g

Geraldine would send 1t when sh
found 1t had been left out. He coult
even fancy the little laugh she woul'
give when she discovered 1t, and hov
quickly she would enclose 1t In anothe
envelope and add few words as to he
carelessness.
He pictured 1t all in his mind, as h
swung through the village street wit
an eager tread.
The little office was not open. Th
morning train was not due yet. Slowl
he wandered toward the station, an
stood gazing down the track froi
whence his letter would come. II
stamped his feet bit impatiently, an
took out his watch.

A REMARKABLE BELT.
Was Once the Property of a Dead
and-G0ne Indian Princess.

Miss Winnifred Winn of Ravenswood
has recently come into the possession of
beautiful belt that hundreds of years ago
princess. Later it was captured in
battle between the Sioux and Chippewas
and was retaken. Finally the princess
herself was captured and she ransomed
herself by giving up the belt and all of
her other possessions. For generations
it has been known as the Indian ransom
belt.
1t is marvellous bit of work and con-
noisseurs who have examined it affirm
that nothing like it can be found in
either the British or American museums.
The belt is Twenty-Five and one-quarter
inches long, two and one-quarter inches
wide and contains II $50 beads. 1t would
take an expert Indian worker six months
of continuous work to make it.
But skillful fingers are unable to re-
produce it now, as the beads are no long
err manufactured. They are about the
size of a pin-head and as brilliant as jew
els. There are nineteen colors and
shades, in blues, reds, pinks, yellows,
browns, salmon, amber, and clear glass,
but the colors are so tremendously blend
ed that the effect is as exquisitely rich as
a Persian pattern.
There are seventeen mosaic designs
running through the centre of the belt,
and they are surrounded by milk-white
beads. The edge is etched with a sharp
pointed pattern, done in full colors, and
though centuries have passed since it was
fashioned by mothers loving hand, on.
ly three beads are missing.
1t was given to Col. Winn last Christ
mas by an Indian at Fort Williams, On
tario, Canada. He was experimenting
the building of an immense steel elevator
for the Canadian Pacific railway and, as
the townspeople objected to his import
ing skilled labor from the United States
he employed Indians with the most salts
factory results.
He aroused the Indians gratitude b.
various humane acts and on Christina
day, as he sat in his office, two young In
dams walked in, and one, Alex Mccoy
flung a newspaper bundle on his desk
The other man stood in the doorway AM
said:
"Ughl There's my Christmas pres
emil" And both fled like naughty child
rem.
One parcel contained the belt and tn
other a knife sheath of modern MAKE
Col Winn mentioned his gift to an oil
fur trader with an Indian wife, and tn
sauaw said it was the famous Sioux raj
som belt, that was worked by the squa'
of famous Sioux chief for her daugf
ter's wedding present and that the pril
cess priced it above all her earthly pc
. sessions. The fame of the marvellous be
spread into the camp of the Chippewa
With the fortune of war it change
hands repeatedly until it finally came il
to the hands of Mccoy, chief of the Chi
pewas, who lived on the Pidgeon rive
He gave it to his squaw, who wore it
state occasions. The young half-bret
who presented it to Col. Winn is d
scendant of the old chief, so the belt b
came his by the right of succession. 1
the belt is too gorgeous to wear and t.
valuable to keep at home, Miss Win
keeps it in safety deposit vault.
