OUR H1Lo LETTER.
Jottingp Of News From the Progress
sive City.

sive City.
During the past eight or ten days
we have had steady down pour OF
rain. The rain storm has not been
confined simply to Hilo, but Hama
kua has also had it's share. For two
days we had a thunder storm during
which the lightning did some dam
age to persons and property. A
woman in Olaa was struck by light
ming and was unconscious for some
time. One OF the blacksmiths on
the Olsa plantation, while at work
at his anvil, was knocked down, and
somewhat hurt. There is no more
scarcity OF water in Olaa, the trou-
BILE now is too few tanks. During
these few days considerably over
seventeen inches OF rain has fallen
aud it is still raining. There is con-
siderable snow on Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa, 30 that we are having
deliciously cold night and mornings.
The Collector OF Customs for
Hilo, Mr.. George Turner, has ten
dered bis resignation to the head
Office. Mr.. Turner who has held the
Office for almost three years, has
made himself popular by his honesty
and strict adhesion to business.
DR.. Williams, the we'll known
physician and surgeon, leaves Hilo
for good. He has sold out his prac-
tice to DR.. John Grace, but retains
a tract OF land in Puma and another
in Kaiwiki The old doctor will be
sorely missed by his many friends to
whom be has endeared himself by
many kindness, and who wish he
may meet with prosperity in bis new
home.
A. j. Campbell and W. HI. Camp
bell arrived by the Kinau. They,
together with Charlie Hyde and Mr..
Rycroft, left for Puma yesterday. 1t
is generally believed that w. H.
Campbell will be the manager Of
the new plantation in Pune, work
on which is going on at lively
pace.
The departure OF the Kinau early
on Friday mornings is a great dis
comfort to the merchants here who
have not time to check off the goods
which come from Honolulu con-
signed to them. The harm will re-
bound on the Honolulu merchants
and the steamship company. for the
business men here will import more
direct from the Coast.

New York, Oct. 22-Sir Thomas
Upton spent to-day on board his
steam yacht Erin.
II shall not challenge for the cup
next year." he said in reply to
question. "You see the time is all
too short to design boat, build her
and have her tuned up to concert
pitch to race next fall. I shall,
however, issue a challenge for 1901,
and shall complete the arrangements
for it 10 day or two. The matter
must be discussed fully with the
committee OF the New York Yacht
Club"
Sir Thomas commented on the
proposed trip of the Columbia
abroad, saying: "If she we're my
boat | should take her across at
once and you can take my word for
it she would sweep everything be-
fore her. / sincerely hope she will
cross the Atlantic il for no other
purpose than to show them over
there what a Yankee yacht is like.
Believe me. it will teach them some
thing.
IL want to say again that l have
been treated with the utmost cour-
tesy by every one that / have met.
Never for moment have the yachts
men here made me feel otherwise
than perfectly at home. l have fail
ed to win your cup, but / proved
what l said before sailing for it,
that any yachtsman who came for
the cup would have fair opportunity
to win it.
II am deeply touched at the spirit
shown by your Americans in arrang-
ing for that loving cup for me. I
shall prizs it above all things. 1t
shows nat my estimate OF American
character is not wrong. / am at
liberty to say now that the wild
guesses as to what the Shamrock
cost were all of them far out. The
cost of the boat alone, as she is
now, without considering the ex-
pense OF the crew or anything else,
is about $500,000.

1t is easy enough for our would be
educators to write articles in news
papers about the future Of rhe
young girls now growing into
womanhood. We hear a great deal
about how they ought to be trained,
but we see very little in practice Of
the theories advanced.

and of the patronage given to them.

the educators" insist in bringing
up the young girls to be "ladies,"
that means to thump piano, dress

and be useless in any home. The
people who supported the great
schools for girls in Hawaii we're
sincere, we have no doubt, but they
were very much mistaken indeed in
their alleged efforts Of promoting
civilization.

One educator wants the girls to

Why should Hawaii not have a
class OF servants or peasants or
whatever you please to call them7
In Europe you are waited on by
female servants your food is cooked
by women, your children are nursed
and looked after by members of the
"gentle" sex and everything gets
along nicely. 1t true that Bridget
cannot play the piano; and Mary has
never heard about Marconi, and that
Betsy knows her policeman on the
corner better than riding a bicycle.
But is it not better and wiser to
educate some people to do the
menial work necessary in this
world instead OF bringing all of
them up to the "higher grade" that
means to expect menial work to be
done by others7

The girls in our Seminaries can do
all that, They can teach what
they know. They can preach-what
they don't practice, and they can
probably sing a pretty song, ham
mer tune on piano and look wise
when the wireless telegraphy is
mentioned. But they cannot be
servants or housekeepers and under
the present system of education
they cannot even become good house
wives.
