BEEF FROM SAN FRAN.

p What with lack of rain, the
y pest of the horn fly, the occa-
y sional bad case of tuberculosis
- and the increased demand or
y consumption, it has come to the
- pass at this time that Honolulu
y must draw upon the coast for
y beef.
y The first order for monthly
r. shipment of 100 dressed car
p casses of prime beef went for
r. ward yesterday from the Metro
y politan Meat Company here to a
y large concern at San Francisco.
y The conjecture is that the requi-
- sition is to either Swift or Ar
- mour. 1t must be, as they are
" the only people who could meet
- the call
- For the present, at any rate,
" the price of meat to consumers
y will not be advanced by the
- Metropolitan Meat Company.
p This much, together with con-
- firmatiOn of the new arrange
y ment, was given out yesterday
y by Mr.. Waller, manager for the
= local supply company.
- There is plenty of mutton in
- the Islands. Once in a while it
D. comes here from the Colonies.
y The 100 beef. carcaSses per
y month will be brought down by
., the local steams ship, the Oceanic
y Company's Australia. Work on
~ the new refrigerating plant was
~ in progress while the vessel was
p in port this time and will be
@ completed on the coast. The ca
" pacity will be increased to 200
u tons The cold rooms are aft.
y Principally on account of the
- drought the beef supply of the
y Islands has just about been eX-
y hausted. 1t has reached the
D. point lowest in years. Drought
y here, by the way, does not have
y the same meaning as on the
y coast. 1t is simply the condi-
y ton that there is not sufficient
y field or pasture grazing for fat
y tening. There is some feed and
y there is ample drinking water
y with the exception, perhaps, Of
y in one or two small districts.
y Crops of cane, etc, do not Suf-
y fer for the reason that they are
y irrigated and do not at any
y time depend on rains.
y The coast beef is to be Of the
- very best quality. For one thing
y it is all subjected to the most
y searching official inspection at
y San Francisco.

Kansas City, Mo, have sent a large
number Of letters to the pupils of Pu-
nahou Preparatory school in this city
The acquaintance was brought about

of work in the school there and of the
play, dress, ETC., as well as OF the
climate and a number of features OF
the country. The scholars here are
asked a number of questions and will
reply. One question was, How do you
wear your hair?' The scholars at
Kansas City are doing this letter writ
ing as part of the study of geography.
They say they are communicating
with schools in every country in the

J. H. Ankrom, who will be rememb
cred here as a dealer in iron fences and
real estate to put them around, has
reached Ponce, Porto Rico, and writes
back to Louis Marks. These are eX-
tracts from his letter:
Landed here December %, less than
five days from New York A fine trip
in good ship. After looking over
Ponce pretty we'll l drove eighty miles
over the world-renowned military road
to San Juan. Neither stories of the
road nor of the beauty and fertility of
the country have been exaggerated.
The road is remarkable piece of engi-
neering and the scenery along the way
is grand. The mountains are fertile
clear to their peaks. One product is a
tobacco said to equal the best grown
in the province of Havana, Cuba. AL
most all of the land is cultivated. The
island is not as rough as Oahu. 1t is
not of volcanic origin. There are plen-
are coffee plantations everywhere.
Everything that is grown here is very
cheap and living costs next to nothing
The poor are very poor and lots of
them and the rich, while living nicely,
are not wealthy according to American
or Hawaiian ideas. The climate is fine,
Temperature ranges from seventy to
ninety degrees and there are invigor-
ating sea breeZes. Ponce would be
healthy place if they had a Board OF
Health like the one at Honolulu. But
there will be changes in this line in
time and there is lots of room for i'm
provement. The children of the poorer
classes run about naked. This is to be
stopped by military order so soon as
clothes can be made for the young
sters
THE city is beautifully located and
the principal streets are paved with

I went with several fellows and sailed
over the bay to a place where there
was to be a grand chicken fighting
tournament. This seems to be the ma
tional sport. They are at it all the
time and get tremendously excited and
bet their last bits of silver.
"Gold is at premium of 80 TO 65

language is spoken almost altogether.
1t is easily learned. ! am taking les
sons. The soldiers and the other Am
ericans who have been here two to four
months can make themselves under
stood in the lingo and lots of the Span
iards and natives are picking up Eng
lish.
THE future here depends on legisla-
tion at Washington. If it is favorable,
from tariff standpoint, everything will
be all right. 1t it is unfavorable bust
ness will not amount to much for live
men for a long time. There is every
hope that Congress will act soon and
favOrably. The present duties are
something terrific. I have several good
agencies from New York and expect to
do we'll with them, but on the whole l
would not advise people coming here
for year yet, though, of course, this
is the time to get in on the ground
floor. There will be big money to be
made in lands and am studying the
methods of handling property.

'POssOm and Eaters.

Ex-Gov Taylor did not attend the
corndodger banquet at Knoxville as was
expected but his speech was there and
was read by James Parker, Esq, who
read it we'll. He said in part:
"What are the rich, smoking viands,
and the tempting pastries, and the
wines that glow in tho cup, but the stuff
that nightmares are made Of; the sweet
prophesies OF sour stomachs and head
aches in the morning?
Give me the melting piece Of an old
corn dOdger, or the ''crumbling glory Of
'Tatty bread" for health and happiness.
Give me the delicious Odor that hangs
around good old hog iowl and turnip
greens like halo of JOY forever. Give
me the hallelujah of fine large fat
'possom and the ''dOxOlogy" OF we'll
buttered "yaller" yam.
'Possom and 'taters are the symbols
of old time simplicity, and around
them cling thousand precious memOr-
les, like the fragrance Of roses that are
faded and gone; memories OF civiliza-
tion that is dead, aud happy days that
will never come again to the sons and
daughters of Dixie who banqueted with
Uncle Rastus before the war, and heard
the lullabies of the old black 'mammy"
so tender and sweet
Mr.. Chairman, the old time darkeys
are gone No more we hear the bark Of
the 'possOm dog; they sleep together in
the happy long ago But, thank the
Lord, the old time 'possom still fingers
with us. The old time black nanny
will dish him out no more. But let US
rejoice that the fair hands Of the beau
tiful women OF to-day are adding new
leaf to his laurel wreath OF glory, by
learning how TO dish him out them
selves.
Farewell to Uncle Rastus and Aunt
! Dina. May they rest in peace. Long
live 'possom and 'taters."

For the first time in more than 20 years

general weighing of the mails. Postnsas-
ter Clohan has received on order from
Postmaster General Smith directing him
to weigh all mail matter that passes
through the Martinsburg Postoffice be-
tween October 3 and November 8, and 10
sand a report to the Department. Every
postmaster in the country has received a
similar order. The Department at Wash
ington has been arranging for this gener-
al weigh-up and preparing blanks, circu-
lars, &c. for some time. AT the end OF
the s. days reports from all Of the post
office in the country viii be forwarded to
Washington During tie period sinae the
last weighing of'the mails by the Govern
ment the railroad companies and other
carri,r have weighed the mails themselves
The Department could only estimate then
weight. and the Government may have
been overcharged.
