HAWAIIAN SUGAR slOCES.
Comment of San Francisco
Commercial Paper.

The Financial Letter, George Heasle-
tons paper, contains the following of
local interest:
Mr.. st. Goar returned from the Ha-
waiian Islands during the week. where
he has spent six weeks in examining
the plantations. After careful eX-
animation Of the properties, he consid'
ers sugar securities the mot desirable
industrial securities in this or any
other market. He is of the opinion
that In short time most of these
securities will be taken out of this
market, or else be sold here at very
much higher figures than they are now
bringing. The plan to introduce them
upon the New York market Is now
being matured, and will be carried out
in a short time. Mr.. st. Goar said that
during the last week he was in the
Islands there had been copious rains,
sufficient for this season of the year.
At the Hutchinson there had been, dur
ing the storm, Is inches, at the Pau
hau 10, at Honokaa &, at Onomea be-
tween IL and ~. There is no fear of
a dry year. Mr.. st. Goar stated that
on the plantations whose stock is
listed in this market, the conditions
were very favorable, and that the
crops would fully reach the expecta-
tions of the managers. Mr.. st. Goar
emphasized the need of a cable to the
Islands, which he thought would make
the securities still more desirable, as
then investors would be in immediate
touch with the properties and their
conditions.
There was considerable buying of
sugar stocks during the week. Homo
kaa sold at 3ia4. 1t paid dividend of
80 cents on the LIST. This plantation
is in excellent condition. There is lit
tie doubt now that next year the dlvi-
dend will be increased 20 so cents per
share per month.
Hutchinson dropped OFF to 2sa. at
one time during the week. 1t is re-
markable that the stock of such plan
tation should fall so low as at present.
1t Is one of the model plantations on
the Island. Besides. there are posi-
bllities of an extension or enlargement
OF this plantation. which will very
much add to the value OF tle stock.

fore a Church Congregation.

Pomona Cal, April 5-"Before my
God and the whole church confess my

Gods law"
The speaker was Miss Celia Over
hotter, eldest daughter of a. millionaire
orange grower of the Pomona Valley.
The occasion was the aSSemblage OF
the whole Dunkard denomination at the
large church at Lordsburg in services
commemorative of Good Friday.
It is a modern instance of the sin of
Hester Prynne and her Puritan pastor,
Mr.. Dimmesdale, in The Scarlet Let

Several years ago the Rev. Edward
A. Miller was called to the presidency
of the Dunkard college at Lordsburg,
from Philadelphia. He was a bright,
active young man with a wife and two
small children: Miller became a power
in the new college and his sermons IN
the Dunkard church were considered
the most eloquent ever heard in this
valley. The attendance at the college
doubled in one year, and the young pas
tor and teacher was in demand wher-
ever patriotic and religious oratory was
wanted.
Among the girl students at the col
lege was Celia Overholtzer. She was

The Rev. Mr.. Miller asked her to be-
come his private secretary, and until
last December she gave several hours
every week of the college year to cleri-
cal labor in the college presidents study.
Last autumn Jner0 were 1unlOTS among
the college students that suspicious cir
cumstances had been observed about
the presidents study.
The DunkardS at LordSburg denounc-
ed the rumorS as falsehoOdS and the
congregation flocked to sustain the rep

Her voice was broken, and choking

amid tears and cries.
Miller knew what was coming. He
had gone with his family to Los Angeles
a few hours before, but left a note con-
Tossing his guilt and asking the prayers

Gus energy and rugged endurance.
Mr.. J. H. SiddaIl, Calvert, Tex, writes:
For many years suffered with nerv-
Gus headaches and took many kinds of
medicines in a vain search for relief. In
1894 was induced to try DR.. Miles Re
storative Nervine, which I did with good
results. I found relief at once and af-
ter using it a. few weeks my headaches
ceased. Before taking the medicine L
was subject to severe colds during the
winter, which were very troublesome.
Since taking Nervine in 1894 have not
had a cold"
Mr. A. L. Hereford, Springfield, Ill.,
says: Three years ago I was much
troubled with nervous dyspepsia, which
caused me to become run down in health
and spirits. I was nervous and rest
less, and found it difficult at times to
concentrate my thoughts. 1 did not get
my natural sleep at night and frequent
ly would leave the dining table without
tasting a mouthful of food. DR.. Miles
Restorative Nervine was recommended
to me and I was very much pleased with
my first trial. 1t improved and invig-
grated me, and soon gained 20 pounds
from it's use"

WAR OFFICE TO TEST 1T.
Experiments With the Marconi Syg-
tenn of Wireless Telegraphy Will
Be Made.

Washington, April 5.-The United
States will not be behind France and
Germany in the experiments with wire
less telegraphy. The success of the re-
cent experiments In telegraphing across
the English channel has led the signal
office of the war department to arrange
for sending messages from the top of
the war, state and navy building across
the Potomac river to Fort Myer, a mill
tary post in Virginia, nine miles from
Washington. The government has pur-
chased the necessary apparatus at con-
siderable expense. These experiments
will be conducted by the signal bureau
under the direction of Col. James Allen,
U. s. A, and Lieut.. George o. Squire,
u. S. A.
The Marconi system will be used. For
that it is claimed weather has no eff
feet. Wind, snow, fogs and rains will be
powerless to interfere with it. In clear
and open spaces within sight of each
other the Marconi system works per-
fectly. When, however, there is great
distance to be overcome, or obstacles
intervene, it is necessary to have height
for the instruments. Kites, balloons
and tall masts are utilized with salts
factory results.
The importance of giving this system
every advantage of tests by men of dis
tinguished ability is also realized at the
present time by the emperor Of Ger
many, whose government is making eX-
periments in wireless telegraphy on al
most Identical lines with the plans
mapped out by the government of this
country.

GUN CONTRACT AWARDED.
6ethlehem Steel Company Will Make
the Gathmann Weapon, Invented
by Chicapoan

Washington, April 5.-The Bethlehem
Steel company of Pennsylvania has
been given the contract for making the
1S-inch Gathmann torpedo gun. which
was authorized by the last congress
and which will be the largest piece of
rlf1ed ordnance ever constructed
Emil Gathmann of Chicago. son of the
inventor, has recently prepared the
working drawings of this monster, and
the steel ingots have already been made
at the Bethlehem works, The ingot
from which the chamber jacket of this
gun will be drawn weighs $50 900 pounds

much, while the ingot for the chase
jacket weighs 100000 pounds.
The gun will be about forty-two feet
long and the jackets and tube will have
to be worked over a mandrel while at
white heat. 1t is an exceedingly deli
cate piece of work. and one which ord
nance experts all over the country will
watch with interest.

Health is not a question of muscle
and sinew, but of resistance and endur-
ance. 1t is the weak, the wasted, the
thin blooded who are always sick; those
who have no resistive power, so that
a sudden cold develops into graver dis
ease. Every process of the body is con-
trolled by the nervous system; and just
in proportion as this nervous system
is weakened the whole body suffers loss
of resistive power. Overwork, worry,
care, anxiety-these are the chief causes
which sap the system Of its vital power.
The man who comes to his work in
the morning with a headache, who suf-
fers all day from dullness and drowsi-
ness, who goes to his meals without an
appetite, and losses restlessly through
the night without getting his regular
sleep, is not likely to fight off disease
very hard. The best thing for you,
when you feel that your bodily energy
is lacking, is to seek the Strengthening,
power-producing help of DR.. Miles
Restorative Nervine, which reinforces
and invigorates the nervous system to
a remarkable degree, and fortifies the
body against the encroachments of dis
ease with an abundant supply of nerv-

STRENGTH OF MORMONISM.
DR.. Tiff on the Consequences of Seat
ing Brigham Roberts.

New York. April 5.-The Rev. DR.. Thos
c. Tiff of Salt Lake City addressed the
Methodist preachers weekly meeting in
this city today on THE Present Situation
in Utah.
DR.. Tiff has been the superintendent of
the Methodist mission in Utah for TWEEN
ty-five years. He is making his present
trip the chairman of a committee rep
resenting the evangelical churches of
Utah, to prevent the admission to the next
house of representatives of Brigham H.
Roberts In the course of his address DR..
Ilif said:
If Brigham H. Roberts is permitted to
sit in congress it will be interpreted in
every Mormon hamlet as the fulfllment of
Brigham Young prophecy and also as
Matchmaking .Polygamy. The Mormons
will redouble their energies. Already they
may be said to hold the balance of power
in Idaho and Wyoming and they are very
strong in Nevada, Arizona and in south
west Colorado. The other day the wife
of a senator from a state adjoining Utah
herself a Methodist, was asked to use her
influence on behalf of our crusade. She
replied that she could not do anything
about the matter. That shows the Nor
mon influence in politics.
I'VE ask that congress shall expel Rob-
erts. We at first petitioned that he be not
received, but after comforting with Sena-
tor EdmundS and others we think that the

Mr.. Gould, in settling upon the Scent
fare for transfers, took a leaf from the
programme of the Metropolitan Street
railway by proposing to furnish rapid
transit Eat once" The Manhattan will
be able to do this by getting electricity
from the power-houses of the Third AV-
enue railroad.
Another direct result of the Metropol-
itan's bid for the tunnel is Mr.. Gould's
final decision to make several extern
sions of the 81" system in the lower
part of the city and in the annexed dis
trict. The company also will ask the
privilege to put down more third tracks
so that it can run express trains the en-
tire length of it's lines.
1t is further admitted that negotia-
lions have already begun with the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, with
a view to reaching an understanding
for a close-working arrangement with
the system of the two boroughs, and if
these go through the Metropolitan may
be compelled to fall in line.
Whether there will be a direct con-
nection between the two boroughs by
way of the bridge has not yet been de-
termined. 1t is said, however, that a
deal of far-reaching proportions is
among the early possibilities. The ad-
vance in Manhattan stock Is due to
these developments.

FEAR PROPHECIES.
Japanese and Hawaiians Greatly Dis
turbed by an Old Soothsayer.

San Francisco, via Honolulu, March
31.-The Hawaiian and japanese resi-
dents of the island are in great COM
motion over recent incidents that have
appealed to their superstition. A Ha-
yaiian prophecies over 100 years old Is
said to have predicted Kaiulanfs death
and the greatest eruption of the vol
cano Kilauea in modern times. The
princess having died the natives await
the activity of the volcano. All the signs
about the volcano point to an early
eruption. The heat in the crater and
the smoke and steam have increased
and in the mountains on the leeward
side of the island are heard seismic
noises which the Japanese say precede
eruptions and earthquakes in Japan.
Princess Kaiulani during her illness
Is said to have known of the prediction
made by the old seeress and to have
been mentally affected in CONSEQUENCE.
