HAIL TO THE FOREIGNER.

Seductive Call of the Jill Shmpo
The Jill Shimpo (Toko) of Monday
has the following sweet and flute like
call to the Foreigners
Some people Git says) doubt whether
the number of foreigners who will nov
come to Japan will be large. We are
of opinion that business men and CAPT.
talists will come here gradually, if not
In rush. The Americans, who are
light-hearted and go to any part of
the world will come here first, If we are

not mistaken. We ought not to ,ivc a
more favorab BILE reception to the men Of
one country than to the men of an
other, but will welcome all and will try
to afford them every possible help ara
convenience. The more fairly they are
treated the greater number of them will
come, but we believe the middle class
of foreigners will be the majority. They
are the people whom we call "we,l-to.
do and they are longing for an easy
and happy life. Higher society. both in
Europe and America, is showing ten
dency to fast living and the desire for
luxury and ease of social intercourse
is growing. The middle-cass people
remove to foreign countries, simply to
get out of the whirl of fast society
There are small settlements of English
men in France and Belgium and MINI
Der of Germans and Frenchmen are
removing to America and other co.ii.-
tries year after year. In America the
houses of the rich are shut during the
summer and the inmates pass their
leisure at watering places. This is the
way rich Americans spend their time,
but the middle class cannot afford il
and they are eager to get away. These
people will come here when they know
our fair country, and the small cost of
living. The climate of Japan is very
healthy and the country. which is call.
ed the most beautiful in the world, has
not lack of fine scenery. Japan would
have been invaluable If it had been sit
uated among the European countries,
but here any foreigner can build his
residence at cost which is Il trifie to
him. No land ownership has Deea
granted to them so far. and this may
be said to be a drawback: but they
can obtain this privilege quite easily
They can pick up beautiful portion, Of
the country, and we are sure they will
eagerly come to this paradise. Here
they can procure good and reliable
maids very cheaply and we know this
will be great relief of Americans. who
are greatly troubled by the servant diff
ficulty. Wages for servants have risen
somewhat of late but they are still next
to nothing If compared with those paid
in America and other countries. This
possibility of procuring faithful and re-
liable maids alone may attract u num-
Der of them"
Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-09-23
THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY.

Privacy, according to legal decisions
in America, has no rights that amount
to anything. We cannot by injunction
restrain another from invading our pr1-
vacy, nor can we punish such an inva-
sion by securing damages, as the courts
have held that the sentitiveness which
resents publicity is too fine thing for
this rude world. And so in this coun-
try in the present conditions of the laws
we must abandon the sacred privilege of
being let alone.
This is not so in France, and at pres
ent it Is not the case i'm England In
France newspaper or other publica-
ton may not discuss the private af-
fairs of Il private person without per-
mission. In England the law was much
as it is here until a publisher prepared
to print some etchings made by the
Queen and her late ConsOrt Prince AL
bert. The courts stretched Il point and
issued an Injunction though all the pre-
cedents were against such remeuy In
the course of time an act was passed
by Parliament defining privacy and fix
ing penalties for it's invasion.
But in America we are practically
without redress. We cannot prevent
publication by injunction, but after
ward must prove damage-damage
which can be assessed in dollars and
cents. Suppose Il flashy and objection
able paper should print the portrait of
a private gentleman's wife or daughter.
Every refined person would concede
that there had been damage; but how in
the world could material damage be
proved? Right there the difficulty lies,
and until it can be removed the very
finest flower of civilization is endan-
gered.
Legislatures hesitate to do anything
toward the relief of privacy from the
invasions of too-curious papers for fear
of putting an unconstitutional restraint
upon the liberty of the press. But lib
erty is one thing and license quite an
other. The press is at liberty to de-
scribe, to discuss and to crticIse the
public acts of public men, but even they
should have, if they desire, IA privacy
which it were license to trespass upon.
The majority of men who amount to
anything part with the right of privacy
to a certain eXtent--"pro tanto,' as the
lawyers put it. An author, an actor, a
preacher, an artist, or any one who at
tempts to teach the public or who cha-
lenges it's criticism, abandons his right
to be let alone so far as his work is con-
cerned. But beyond that he should be
protected in his privacy as by man
tie.
1t is true we can defend ourselves
against Islander and libel, but from idle
and vulgar gossip, until privacy and it's
rights are defined by statute laws and
confirmed by decisions of the court,
there is no protection whatever. The
life of a savage is open at all times to
the inspection of his tribe, but the
greater the civilization the greater the
desire for retirement and privacy. the
greater the necessity to b let alone.

HOW TO STARCH A SHIRT.

After they have become bone dry" put the
shirts. collars and cuffs through wheat starch
made by pouring foaming hot water over smooth
batter obtained by stirring wheat -four and Geld
water together until 1t Is the consistency OF thin
cake batter. This should be boiled slowly for
two hours and then strained through cheesecloth
TO leave It perfectly free of Jumps. Add to each
quart Of boiling starch n teaspoontul OF white
such is especially prepared for laundry
The secret OF a good smooth finish TO stiff starched
clothes is in the method of starching. This must
be carefully done. Spread a shirt bosom
clean board. and with piece Of thin cloth rub the
starch into the bosom with strong firm strokes.
There should not be a wrinkle in the linen after II
is thoroughly wet and starched and all superfuous
starch is wiped off with cloth. The wristbands
end neck bands treated the same way and the
shirt is again hung out to dry. When IT is thor
oughly dry-"bone dry again-the shirt and collars
and cuffs are dipped for moment in boiling water
and quickly wrung through the wringer with the
rollers pressed tight together they can be
turned The pieces should now be left to stand
for at least hours before they are ironed-CThe

ASPHALT PAYING IN THE CITY.

officials at the City Hall said yesterday that the
report of the Commissioners OF Accounts on asphalt
paving In this city ought to be the means OF saving
n great deal Of money to the taxpayers In future
street paving, and that the recommendations or
the Commissioners regarding open specifications
and expert supervision would be followed In all
future contracts for street-paving with asphalt
Many people have believed that there was toe
much OF a monopoly In asphalt paving In the city.
and that the city paying too high prices for
smooth streets The Commissioners OF Accounts de-
clare after a thorough investigation. that there
has been a monopoly based on the practical control
OF trinidad asphalt. and that in the specifications
for street paving contracts provisions were allowed
which excluded from competition nine out or ten
OF the contractors for such work. The Commission
ers have declared also that the monopoly was foe
tered ay official ignorance and wrongful use OF OF
fetal discretion.
IL will be pleasing to many people to hear thar
IN future the city officials will have open contracts
for asphalt pavements TO admit the use OF any
natural asphalt. in order 10 prevent monopoly
and excessive In paving streets IL II declared
by some OF the officials that In the near tutur2
there Will be a great increase In the number OF
