A Pretty Function.

The high favor in which ne Min
lister of Foreign Affairs and Mrs. l.. 4.
M0tt-Smith are held by the society
people and the general public Of Ho-
nolulu was fully attested by the sue
cess of the garden party OF yesterday
afternoon. II was the larges, and mos
notable gathering Vanity Far has
known for many months. More than
a thousand had been hidden to meet
the guests of honor, Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
Old MO,t-Smith and Mrs. Yates. Very
nearly all who had been invited were
pleased to respond. From 4 20 there
was a constant stream of people com
ing and going and the grounds and
the dancing lanai were well filled all
Of the time. The home of the Minister
in lower Nuuanu valley has mosi
spacious park. There is much lawn
and the tropical trees and plans are
humorous. The whole had been dressed
most artistically for the occasion.
There was quaintness and an aesthe-
tic beauty in the happy cOnccit of plac-
ing artificial vari-colored blossoms on
crOtCn plants and fig trees. Lanterns
and flags were festooned from palm TO

10 relieve the evcnness of the carpen-
ter work. The music OF concert and
for dancing was Supplied by the Gov
eminent band, under Capt. Berger,
augmented by Hawaiian young lady
vocalists. The music was a delightful
feature of the party. The scene alto
gether was a lovely one. The men
were for the most part in morning
dress and the ladies in light costumes,
some white, but many in colors.
The receiving party was in beau
tiful bower and consisted Of: The Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Patty
Mrs. T.. A. Mott-Smith, Mrs. Harold
Mott Smith, Mr. Harold Mott

Yates that the party was given. After
the ceremony of presentation the
| guests turned their attention 20 con

grounds, to listening to the music, OF

to know nearly everyone else, making

The Oceanic is not expected to be very
speedy, in which she differs from Hal
Lung, a torpedo boat destroyer built in
Germany for the Chinese govern ment.
This vessel made 40.S miles per hour
in a heavy sea, which is by far the
fastest time ever made by boat,
and is almost equal to railway speed.
1t is pleasant to add, in speaking Of
ships, that ship.building seems to have
taken a new lease of life in this coun-
try. Many Americans regret that
most of our enormous foreign trade is
carried by vessels built and owned in
other countries but it is probable that
this will not be for long. This country
now ranks first in the production of
modern ships. Therefore, we oug ght
to be able to compete with the world
in this business. Many millions of
dollars worth of ships are today be-
ing constructed in our shipyards.

SCARCITY OF BEEF CATTLE.

Beef cattle-oattle especially suita-
BILE for slaughter-are always scarce at
this season of the year; but according
to local butchers they are scarcer this
year than for a long time previous.
In fact, the butchers say they have
never known the like before.
At this time last year cattle were
cheap-that is, compared with now.
It was not an unusual thing for the
butchers to buy choice beef, on foot, at
from II to 2 cents a pound. Frequent
ly the owner was careless, and both
parties to the trade would be willing
to guess at the weight, when the price
would sometimes run less than / ! cents
a pound. But there is nothing of that
kind going on now. No cattle that
are at all suitable for slaughter are
selling for less than 81 cents on foot,
and even higher, according to the con-
dition of the animal under considera-
ton.
This scarcity of cattle, it seems, is
not confirmed to a very circumscribed
area. 1t extends all over this section,
and local buyers find themselves in
competition with buyers from Chester,
Lancaster, Gastonia, Gaffney and even
Spartanburg. The few cattle owners
who have stock that is worth handling,
are generally we'll informed as to val
ues, and most of them are inclined to
hold for everything they can get.
Of course, there are cattle-not an
abundance-in the country, coming
on; but generally they are not fat.
They have Jared pretty badly during
the winter, and have not yet had time
to pick up in the pastures. There are
individuals around in different parts
of the county who own as many as so
or 100 head each of these; but such
cattle cannot be made fit for the mar
ket until say about next August.
That is, not by pasturage. They can
only be hurried by the stall feeding
process.
AS the result of the scarcity of cat
tie, the local butchers are having
pretty hard time of it just now. They
claim that by the time they pay 2a
a pound, or more, for cattle gross, and
then retail them out at an average Of

- We have never felt that the presi-
dents proposition to have the national
government look after the care OF Con-
federate graves was of especial signih-
cance. We have not doubted the sim
cerity of the president but we do en-
tertain doubts as to whether our north
ern friends are liberal enough to carry
out the idea. We are not displeased,
therefore, that the U. c. V. convention
has been so deliberate about the mat
ter. But still those graves should be
looked after, and if the Federal gov
ernment does not look after them, our
own people must do great deal more
than they have been doing. If we re-
fuse Federal assistance, and continue
to neglect our own duty in the matter,
we will not be entitled to especial
credit.

THE CHINCH-BUGS.

The chinch- bug, which wrought 80
much destruction in the wheat and
corn crops of the Blackjacks two years
ago, seem to have abandoned that Sec
tion. .
Most of our readers will remember
that the ravages of the bugs two years,
ago, were so destructive that the entire
wheat crops of many farms were de-
stroyed. Not only did the bugs ruin
the wheat, but they got into corn that
promised to yield Is or 20 bushels to
the acre and reduced the yield to such
an extent that what was left was not
worth gathering.
In answer to an inquiry over the
telephone Thursday, Mr.. o. L. San
ders, of McConnellsville, said that
there is considerable amount OF
wheat in the McConnellsville and
BLACKJACK sections" and that it is
looking fairly we'll. He has heard no
complaint of the chinch-bug SO far this
season, and has no reason to believe
that the pest is still in the country.
He says that there was little wheat
in the McConnellsville section last
year and that it was not seriously
hurt by the bugs.

Hampton Quite Caustic.


A correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal claims to have seen General
Hampton in Columbia last Tuesday
and writes his paper as follows: Gen.
eral Hampton is violently opposed to
expansion, and thinks the war with
Spain was a mistake. He says, how
ever, that he would be quite willing
to 20 and fight in the Philippines If
he was allowed to choose his staff. He
would send William Mckinley, Cen
eral Miles and Secretary Alger to
storm the first trenches and see that
the duty was properly done. The
general has plenty of bricks now from
the ruins of his house, which he says
he is saving for Senator Tillman and
Governor Evans and the members
of the penitentiary board, provided
they pay in advance. General Hamp-
ton says he is not opposed to a scrap
with Germany, as he would like to get
a fling at the hirelings who fought in
the northern army. In scrimmage
on the old Plank road, near Peters
burg, a portion of General Hampton's
command almost completely extermi-
mated two regiments of the northern
army, which the general says were
all Germans. Scarcely an officer or
man could speak English.
