HISTORIC INKSTAND.
(From the New York Press.l

(F'rom the New York PreSS-)
Hobart's one thousand dollar inkstand is
not a marker to one I saw yesterday.
Cranks who like to sit in chairs once oc-
cupied by great men, who are lifted into
a seventh heaven by breathing the atmos-
phere once breathed by a genius centuries
gone, who delight in treading the ground
where footsteps of sages left their i'm
print in the misty past, who banker after
anything and everything connected with
the great and famous, will be glad to
hear that the inkStand in which General
Sherman dipped his pen when he signed
the terms of Joseph E. Johnston's surren-
der at Durham Station, N. G, on the 26th
of April, 1865, is still in existence and in
the possession of a rich Philadelphia.
Arthur Otis Granger was General Sher-
mans private secretary and it was he who
drew up the papers which Sherman and
Johnston signed. The pen used was a
falcon type, in straight wooden holder.
The stand was one of those old fashioned
circular blocks of wood, with coneave
sides and holes in the top to stick PEN
holders in small glass well sat in the
center to hold the ink You all have seen
similar stands on lawyers desks. As soon
as the opposing generals had affixed their
signatures to the terms of surrender Gran
ger took up the pen and wrote a letter to
his wife, in Philadelphia. describing the
scene. then wrapped stand and pen in pa
per and packed them away for safe-keep-
ing. They are on his mantelpiece today,
and of all his possessions they are the joy
and pride

TROUSERS NOT TIGHT.
It Isn't the Fashion to Have Them
Like Pipestems.
TFrom the Chicago Record.1

LF
The New York tailorS are now show
ing large lines of materials for fancy
trousers. A few of these are rather
sporty-looking, but by far the greater
number are quiet designs in hairline
stripes. OF these stripes there is an al
most endless variety, in at least a score
of different shades and combinations.
The favorite material has soft gray
ground with white or blue hairlines
about a quarter of an inch apart. Then
there is another pattern very much in
favor that has a bluish-gray ground
with a dark blue hairiine and another
with a blue ground and a black hair
line. Sometimes the lines are as much
as half an inch apart, but those pat
terms are not so much In favor as the
narrower stripes.
In the cut of trousers this season
there are few changes to record. They
are still worn comfortably loose and on

in the measurements at the knee and

KIPLING'S NEW POEM.
sThe White Mans Burden" Dealing
With Expansion.

Rudyard Kipling has written a poem
entitled 1.-The White Mans Burden" evil
IDENTIFY called forth by the colonial develop
ment of the United States. 1t will appear
in the February issue of McCIures Maya
zine, although the editors did not receive
the poem until after the magazine was on
the press. The frontispiece was taken
out and the poem printed in it's place. The
poem is not only important, but is of con-
siderable length. Here are few extracts
from it.
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best We breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captiVeS' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On f1uttered folk and wild
Your new-caught Sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
The ports We shall not enter,
The roads we shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead
BY all We will or whisper,
BY all We leave do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you

A Blue Carnatiou.

George NJ. Gerhaty, manager of the
floral department of Daniels & Fisher,
makes the statement that he has under
propagation a blue carnation. He says
he has grown enough of them to satisfy
himself that it is a true and sturdy plant
but will not introduce it until he can
show a flower with a history that will
convince every one that he has the first

OUR HILo LETTER.
The Volcano Still Active and Seen
Well From Kilauea - General

The Volcano Still Active and Seen
Well From Kilauea - General
News,
HILo, Hawaii. The volcano near
Mokuaweoweo continues to be
active. For the past few days it has
been impossible to get glimpse of
the reflection from Hilo but last
night (Thursday) the smoke, which
has been hanging over the whole
OF the east coast cleared away and
magnificent view Of the glow was
to be had. From the Volcano House
grand view of the display OF foun
tains from the crater was enjoyed
by the visitors at that hostelry.
Though a telescope or even by the
naked eye could be seen the vast
columns of lava being thrown from
the centre OF the crater high up
into the air to fall again upon the
sides OF the cone and rush madly
down its sides in fiery columns.
These fountains vary at least from
200 to 500 feet in height, although
almost thirty miles from the Volca-
no House are plainly visible. It has
been rumored that the rates of
charges at the Volcano House have
been increased but this is far from
truth. Mr.. Fred Waldron has made
no advance upon the usual rates
which are the same as the Hawaiian
Hotel. III it is not within the com.
pass OF people to visit the actual
crater itself those who are able
should not hesitate to get as near to
it as the Volcano House. The elm
ate is simply grand there, and there
are 80 many points OF interest even
to those who have previously visit
ed the crater of Kilauea. From
Kilauea vast clouds OF smoke are
continually rising and it is so hot in
the lava bed near the crater that it
is very likely there will shortly be a
flow from there, for through the
cracks near the mouth Of the crater
can be see then hot lava.
On Thursday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. J P. Moir of Papaikou enter
tanned over 200 OF their friends and
acquaintance at the Hilo Hotel;
the occasion being the tenth or tin
Anniversary OF their happy we'd

Fourth OF July, was used for dane.
ing. About midnight the guests
adjourned to the spacious dining
rooms where delicious supper
awaited them. Mr.. and Mrs. Do.
nough, the manager OF the Hotel,
has proved himself most excellent
caterer, and the old residents of the
island who have been to many
events say that they have never sat
down to anything 80 enjoyable as
that supper. Dancing was kept up
till the wee sma' hours, and it was
by many of the guests
before leaving that they might be
able to meet Mr.. and Mrs. Moir at
the diamond anniversary OF their
wedding.
