MIR. CURzON,S SALARY

The Indian vice royalty was in time
past regarded as the one great finan-
clal prize among satrapies, but it is
understood to have become, in part,
no doubt, by reason of the fall in the
rupee, much reduced in value. The
salary ($l25,000) is not large for a
functionary who has to maintain so
much pomp and circumstance, but
the allowance for expenses are on a
very liberal scale. In the case of 9TH
er governorships it is almost impossi-
BILE to do the thing we'll" and to eff
feet any saving out of the salary. 1t
may be observed that wealthy men
very rarely accept these positions. In
fact, it may be questioned whether a
wealthy man has ever held the vice
royalty of India. Lord Brassey. Lord
Jersey and Lord Aberdeen, among
governors, are rare exceptions. and
the first named, as governor of Veto
ria, when the salary had been reduc-
ed from $4,000 to S35, 900. refused to
take it if a further reduction was
made.

HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL COUP is
NOT UNDERSTOOD.
Impression Prevails That Control has
Gone to New York Instead of Hon
olulu-The Spreckels Story.

The full meaning of the change of
control of the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company is evidently not
understood in San Francisco. The
Examiner of October ? says:
Many are interested in the question
of who owns the Hawaiian CONNER
cial Company? That Mr.. POLITE and
his fellow stockholders on the board
of directors are not the principal own
ers of the 10000 shares they represent
is well known. Daniel Meyer is cred
tied with the ownership of a large
block, hence Albert Meyer was chosen
as one of the directors, but the bulk
of the stock is owned by New York
syndicate. Such, at any rate, was the
talk on the street yesterday.
The story of the young Spreckels'
Bismarckian method of diplomacy
that of telling the truth-and winning
because the clever people on the out
side did not believe them. is finding
many adherents. The brokers who
did not believe and who infused their
own incredulity into their clients real
ly played directly into the hands of
the two young men. They prevented
the depreciation of the stock. which
they believed the Spreckels were try
ing to bear" and so the two broth
ers got better prices than they ex-
pected. The average price at which
they sold three-quarters of the sugar
company's stock was about 500. and
at this price they realized nearly So
100000. Their actual profit was al
most million more-all made in four
and half years out of company
the stock of which at the beginning of
that time had practically no market
value. In the four and half years
the Spreckels brothers ventured their
all, and at one time the company ow-
ed them 100000 for money advanced.
TO bring the company through its
financial straits into its present affiu-
ent condition was a difficult task. The
brothers have alternately spent sew
eral months of each year at the plan
tation, travelling on horseback over
the red. dusty soil from morning I'M
til night and practicing the strictest
economy in the management.
Charles 5. Wheeler, one of the re-
cent directors, and the attorney of
the company, said yesterday.
Il know that both the Spreckels
nrotherS are well pleased to'be out of
the company and are to he relieved
of the strain of financiering so large
a corporation. / am aware that some
people are incredulous and affect to
believe that the directors had some
Interior motive in which their pur-
pose has now been baked. This is
not so.
II would like to add that the best
OF feeling exists between the retired
and the newly chosen directors. We
know that the property is well worth
S3,OOOOO0 and that it is i'm very
prosperous condition today. and we
sincerely hope that the new owners
VIII be successful with it. Not only
VIII they have the best wishes of Gus
and Rudolph Spreckels, but also any
llttle help that can hn afforded in the
assumption of a business which must
be more or less new to them will he

associates on the board of directors. ="

With Digestion Perfect.

"My mother was subject to sick head
She was unable to stand for any length
OF time, and was obliged to stay in a dark.
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head She suffered 30 much
that she became but the shadow Of heE-
self. One day happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods Sarsaparilla- It.
Sounded So Truthful
1 persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods SarsaparilIa and,
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is az years old and says she feels as wel1
as when she was IS. Hoods Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure in her case"

1T is not deemed necessary TO discuss
this measure in great detail. as its proyls-
ions have been so fully and clearly sc,
forth in the very able report submitted With
the bill.
The department desires, however, 10
emphasize the Importance of its early con-
sideration and enactment. The navy has
won warm place in the hearts of our
people; il Is our strong arm of defense. il

gress. This bill provides at once some
measure of reward for past achievement
and a promise OF increased efficiency and
greater usefulness in the future

gests the propriety of legislation, such IS
formerly existed, whereby the way may
be opened for men in the ranks TO rise by
merit 10 official grade. This might be done
by authorizing the president 10 annually
