OMAHA EXHIBITION.

There are several points in connec-
ton with the Omaha Exhibition to
which we are being invited to contri
butte, which merit our serious consid-
GRAFTON as prospective territory of
the United States.
In the first place the title of the eX-
hibition, "a colonial exhibition" is one
which we, as prospective territory,
do not like. The manager of Lihue
plantation, a couple of weeks ago, ex-
pressed himself as anxious to have a
colonial form of government for the
Islands, but he is, one fears, in a
minority of one. We do not desire to
be a colony, we have worked for, aim
ed for, and hoped for a far different
fate. We desire to be a territory and
we have justice on our side in having
the hope that such will be the result
of the Congressional legislation.
Next, we want Hawaii shown not as
it was, but as it is. Any exhibition of
grass huts hula dances and so forth
is decidedly a thing to set our faces
against. We want no native village,
with half-clad occupants to give an
impression that that is the normal con-
dition of our population. The Hawai-
ian of today does not live in a grass
hut, he lives in a frame house; 1T is
furnished much in the same style as
the houses of people in the same stand
ing in other countries. Even in the
matter of food, the Hawaiian has
changed very much in his tastes, and
keeps table that many a poor family
on the mainland might envy.
Then with regard to employment.
The Hawaiian is a mechanic, as wit
ness the men at the Iron works and
else where. He fills ably many posi-
tons. Any exhibition showing Hawai-
ians making tapa, or employed as Ha-
waiians We're a hundred years ago
would be utterly misleading.
On the other hand, if we can show
Hawaii as it is, can show it's manufac-
lures, show models of the machinery
in use, show the valuable productions
raised, show the school system and the
results obtained from it, in fact, show
that this is to all intents and purposes
an Americanized Archipelago, whose

Sexved Up for the Winter.
From Gunton's Magazine.

Here is amusing interchangeable
too-reported in the columns of the Chart
ties Review: A Brooklyn school teacher
sent little italian girl home with the
order to have her mother wash her until
she was clean" s-
The child returned shortly afterward,
accompanied by its enraged mother, who
said some things not really polite to the
teacher. finishing with: She is washed now,
anyway
THE only visible evidence of a boath was
a clean spot around the little ones mouth
and nose. The teacher told the mother that
she had meant that the child should be
thoroughly bathed. She should be put into
tub and washed she explained.
What! in a tub?' the woman exclaimed
Why, that would kill her. And BESIDES
she's sewed up for the winter"
1t may not be a sample CASE but we
strongly suspect it is. There might be some
hope of arguing few such parents out of
the "sewing-up' custom, but when for each
convert to cleanliness half a dozen new sets
of inaccessible and unwashable infants are
brought into the country We are a little
worse off than the backsiding toad in the
We'll. 1t is said that the American COM
mon school system is a caSt-iron stomach
capable of digestng anything that Is put
into it-but this is a delusion. There is a
limit to any stomachs capacity for en-
balmed food.

Curious Childish Practice.

From the Ka City Journal.
There was a little girl on the street cars
yesterday who was acting very queerly
That IS, certain grown ups who have
forgotten the ways of little girls seemed to
side her mother, but her bright eyes were
watching the streets closely for some
thing. Every now and then they would
sparkle and she made a queer little ges-
ture She touched the end of her second
finger to her tongue and doubling up her
fist struck it into the palm of her other
hand
"Ninety-five," she said under her breath
"Ninety-six.s Nipety-seven." Each time
making the gesture.
What could the Child be doing?
Just where, little girls learn some things
is a question. Probably from their grown
up sisters or other little girls grown-up
way whereby little girls can tell who their
future husbands are going to be. They get
together and agree to count white horses

three white nules.l and after that the first
young manIwho meets them is the fated

a matter OF, previous arrangement among
the little giIfs. It may be the first one who
shakes hands with them or who opens the
door for them or who gives them some
thing.

REPRESENT HAWAII
Judge Alfred 8. Hartwel Coming When
Congress Oonvenes.
His Presence Here Meets President
Mckinley's Approval Emil
grants to Islands.

HONOLULU, September Is, via San
fred S. Hartwell has been chosen by the
government to represent the territory of
Hawaii. unofficially, in Washington during
the coming Congress. The appontee will
leave for his post in time for the opening
of Congress, in December
President Dole stated that the action of
the Hawaiian government in sending a
representative to Washington was not only
with the knowledge but with the hearty
approval of President Mckinley.
The British tramp steamer Victoria,
whose cargo of emigrants for this port has
been the subject Of a good deal of inter
national diplomatic discussion, arrived here
September ID. Instead of nearly 600 Por-
tuguese and Spanish emisrants, who had
signed to take passage on her, she brings
only 343.
Before the Victoria left Madeira United
states Consul Jones took occasion to notf-
~ the men and wo men who had signed to
leave their native land for the sugar planta-
tons of Hawaii that the islands had been
annexed to the United States and that the
labor contracts they had made would not
hold.
The prospective emigrants were informed
that they would be landed at Honolulu and
would have to take their chances of getting
work after they arrived. Two hundred of
the men and women who had shipped de-
serted the vessel.
The German ship Marie Hackfeld, which
arrived September II, made the trip from
Hamburg, Germany to this port in 106

Gentry's dog and pony show is one of the
larger and more popular features of the
weeks amusements in Washington The
exhibition tent at the corner of 14th and
w streets has been well filled at every per-
Torrance, afternoon and evening, and last
night the crowd was immense, many being
turned away. The performance of the Won
derfully trained ponies, dogs, monkeys and
baby elephants is truly marvellous and has
attracted admiring attention from grown
folks as well as the children. who delight
in the many cute and comical tricks turned
by the intelligent animal actors. The ex-
hIbitions in Washington will positively close
with tomorrow evenings performance. the
actors making their appearances twice
daily, at and pm.
No adequate idea can be conveyed of the
many tricks and featS performed by the
carefully trained and tutored dogs and
ponies. Their drilled performances border
on human intelligence. And while the
small specimens of the equine world, i'm
ported from the Shetland Isles. and their
little companions of the canine family car
ry off the honorS of the afternoons and
evenings, the monkeys and elephants come
in for big share OF the applause of appre-
citation and shouts of enjoyment bursting
from the audience. Every animal in the
collection, from tiny terrier to ajestic
mastiff; from elephant to chimpanzee. and
through all the various breeds of ponies,
has his or her especial trick or turn.
Lots of the dogs and ponies are in the
rings at the same time. and in this way the
performance goes with a vim and vigor,
the audience being continuously and neces-
sarily on the qui vive. From the grand
entrance procession to the closing scene
the interest is never allowed to lag. The
closing act. by the way, is good one. 1t
is fire scene. Ponies draw fire engine
to the site Of the confiagration. The ap-
paratus is manned by monkeys. All is ex-
element about the blazing structure, and
many dogs in dire peril of fiery death are
bravely rescued by fellow canine firemen.

Climbed Millions of Steps.
the New York Telegram.


You know how firing it is to climb up a
flight of steps, even when they are well
made and nicely upholstered, but the
chances are that you have never given the
bus conductor a thought, although he prob
ably climbs more stairs than any other in
diyidual in the world. An obliging London
bus conductor has gone into the matter,
and being an adept at figures. as the ma
jority of bus conductors are. he quickly
evolved the following interesting facts:
There are" he said, mine steps from the
platform to the top OF the bus. and it is
rather undertaking it to say that I climb
that flight of steps twelve times an hour
during the fifteen hours I am on duty avery
day; twenty would be nearer the mark, but
to be on the safe side We will put 1t down
as twelve.
Mine steps at twelve times an hour, fif-
teen hours a day, seven days a week,
makes the nice little total Of II $40 a week.

SparrOvvs Whipped u Cat.


From the New York Mail and Express.
A queer fight, in which a pair of SPAR
rows worsted q cat, was witnessed at the
lower end of Hudson street, Hoboken, to-
day. The sparrows had built a nest in a
tree. and one of the young sparrows with
which the nest was afterward equipped fell
1uttering to the sidewalk. The parent birds
followed it, but an elert cat was already
after the young sparrow.
Nothing daunted by the size of their op-
ponent, the parent birds made a rush for
the cat. They f1uttered about the cats
head and pecked at its eyes, and kept it
so generally busy that 1t had no time to
look after It's intended prey
While this was going a.,bevy of SPAR
rows flew down, and in some way sup
ported and upbore the young sparrow until
they carried it to a fence, whence it made
a short flight on its own account and sue
ceeded in reaching the tree from which it
fell.
By that time the cat had been put to
flight, and the parent birds flew back to
the tree, where they and the other SPAR
rows twittered and chirped for half an
hour. as If they were holding jubilee con-
ventiOn.
