From the Providence Journal.
Why are restaurants patronzed by men
exclusively better than those open to both
sexes? This is the question a correspond
ent of the New York Sun wishes to have
answered. Perhaps it would be necessary
first to show that his assumption is iusti-
fled by the facts. If we leave the hotels
of the tirst-class out of the question we
may conclude without any great danger
of contradiction that he is right. Expert
authorities on eating certainly prefer
mems restaurants as IA general thing. The
cooking is better, they say. This is a
reasonable statement. apparently, because
it is an admitted fact that men, as a rule.
are much more particular about their
food then women are and are also dis
posed to spend more money upon it. Wo-
men have improved in these respects since
their emancipation, but they still have
much to learn. Probably the great hotels
that are open to men and women make
most of their money out of the men,

What Is a Lawyer Worth ?
From the Harrisburg Commonwealth

NITO.J
When the Philadelphia Press declares
that there are lawyers in Philadelphia
to-day whose incomes from their pri-
vate practice range from $4,000 to
100000 a year it is evident that some
one has been imposing upon the Press
writer. If there is lawyer in Phladel-
phia whose private practice brings him
in $lOO0oO per year it is fairly open to
question whether the fact is a credit
and honor to him or not. The man is
not living who is worth 100000 a year

ACTION IS TAKEN
Hawaiian Commercial to
Issue Bonds.
To the Amount of Two and Half Mil Ions
Money TO be Used as
Required.

The stockholders of the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Company have al
most unanimously acceded 10 the pro-
ject. already outlined in these columns
on two or three occasions, of issuing
bonds for raising money for perma-
nent improvements.
A special meeting of the stockhold-
ers was held in San Francisco on Au-
gust 10, at which it was decided by a
vote of 80, 165 shares, represented out
OF the total of 100,0 900, to issue bonds
for S2,500,OOO, secured by the property
of the company, bearing interest at 3
per cent per annum, maturing in TWEEN
ty years. In the absence of President
Henry p. Baldwin, who is on the ISL
andS, Vice President Albert Meyer was
chosen chairman. Secretary George
VI. Rolph read the notice to stOckhold-
ers, which sets forth that the corpora
ton proposed to increase the bonded
Indebtedness to the amount of So 500
900 for the purpose of paying off all
debts now outstanding against the
company, recOnStructing and increaS-
ing the milling capacity, increasing it's
water supply for irrigation, construct
ing new ditch, erecting irrigation
pumps and for recOnStructing it's rail-
way and adding to its rolling stock.
Chairman Meyer eXplain6d that the
bonds were to be secured by all the
property possessed by the company,
and to be issued as the money should
be needed A mortgage and deed of
trust is TO be given to the Union Trust
Company of San Francisco Cor the
total amount that will be required. The
improvements, he stated, were absO-
lutely necessary to increase the capac
ity of the output. The railway had to
be reconstructed, new ditch had to
be built, and the new mill it was in |
tended to erect, which was to surpass |
any mill in the Islands, would cost |
bout $600,0 The present floating |
debt of the company was $2,1OO,OOO.
That the company had $516,355 worth
Of sugar floating, and 1920 tons await
ng shipment, the sale of which would
.educe the debt to $4,000. Wallace
H. Alexander, representing the largest
lumber of shares, offered the resolu-
ion for the issuance of the bonds, all
he stockholders voting in favor of it,
nd instructed the chairman and sec
etary to file the certificate with the
county Clerk and the Secretary OF
state, as required by law, before lssu-
ng the bonds.

THE SHAMROCK"
Has Arrived in Safety in New
York.

NEW YORK, August 1S.-The Sham
rock reached port this morning, ac-
companied by her tender, the steam
Yacht Erin. The Shamrock sailed
from Fairlie, ON the Clyde, August 3,
and made the transatlantic voyage in
much quicker time than was antici-
pated
The Erin lowed the Shamrock about
1000 miles and the latter sailed some
thing more than 1900 miles. Her best
days run under canvas was 26S knots.
Most of the towing was done after
passing the Azores, August 10. At
quarantine the yachts were promptly
cleared.
, The crew are a sturdy looking To- of
Scotch and English men. They wore
blue jerseys, bearing on the breast the
words Shamrock, R. L. Y. c." The
same words appear on the yacht 5
stern. The steam yacht Erin flies, be-
sides Sir Thomas Liptons private sig
nal, the colors of the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club.
After the yachts had anchored in the
upper bay Captain Archie Hogarth of
the Shamrock said:

fact, l am delighted, because my most
Sanguine anticipatiOns have been more

swells. leaving her bronze plates bare
and showing the fine, smooth riveted
work done by the builders. Besides a
big lap streak cutter, carried on pair
of brass davits, the Shamrock carried
two collapsible life-boats on deck.

THE CENSUS SUPERVISORS.
None To BE Named Before the Prcsi
dents Return,

1t is said in the Census Bureau thai
there is absolutely 10 foundation for the
report that the supervisors for Rhodt
Island and Connecticut had been appoint
ed. No supervisors will be appointed un-
Ill after the Presidents return from Mas
sachusetts. when Director OF the Census
Merriam will have a conference with Mr
Mckinley and submit to him the list OF
supervisors, who have thus far been recon-
mended for appointment by Senators and
Representatives.
The Director of the Census, it was stated
today. does not make the appointment for
the reason that the Office of supervisor is
filled By the President, with and by the
consent of the Senate. This fact has been
overlooked by many applicants.
Harrison Dingman, who will be appointed
supervisor for the District of Columbia
was at the Census Bureau this morning
and had a talk with the Director. Mr.
Dingman stated that he had received a few
applications for position of enumerator
but nothing like what he expects to re-
ceive after the President makes his ap-
