PICTURED HORSES.

The artists horse of to-day Ia AM alto
Rether different creature from the
artists horse OF century ago In years
gone by his neck was nrched. his rump
well rounded and his whole bearing
pompoua aud melodramatic. Fre-
qnently in the good old days he raised
one foreleg like IA setter dog or reared
on both hind legs after the fashion of a
grizzly bear. Iut things have changed
now, and the pictorial. or marble. steed
has altered his quondam poses for
hrislSer and more businesslike atti-
itides. While the modern metamorpho-
sih nny lack the heroic features
which formerly characterized our
good old friend. we believe the artistic
horse of the present day is much more
accurate. They say the change Is due
almost entirely 10 the revelations Of
the instantaneous camera. This infal.
lible portrait maker has cnught the
steed In action and shown us exactly
how he looks II has always shown MS
that when he runs he doubles up like
n jackknifc and throws grace 10 the
winds. II has Likewise demonstrated
the fact that old.tlme artists had or.
ronenus ideas as 20 how the brute han
died his feet and used his legs. Indeed
photography has shown us 40 many
things about moving horses that strict
accuracy In their portralturc Is almost
ridiculous.

NEW SCHOOkERS
Island Fleet Augmented
by Gasoline Vessels
mcChesney WIZ Bring the Sur
prise" from San Francisco
In December.

By the second week OF December
there will arrive in port a fine new
gasoline schooner for McChesney &
Co, the initial boat Of it's class for
service in Hawaiian waters. The con-
tract calls for the completion of the
vessel by the first of December. and
upon that date it will be turned over
to the representative of the local COM
pany in the harbor of San Francisco.
The builder of the schooner is Matthew
Turner of that city, and the work was
commenced by him in August last
Inc vessel will be a model one in
every respect, and designed to carry
heavy shipments Of freight, plying be-
tween Honolulu and mona. Hawaii, in
the interests of the kona Sugar Plan
tatiOn, and the plantations in which
MI W. r. Castle is interested. The
schooner's dimensions are, 1O2 feet in
length over all, "A feet beam, and nine
feet depth Of hold, with a registered
tonnage given at 125. As a matter of
comparison she is about the size of the
schooner SKa Moi which is reckoned
as the largest schooner entering Ho-
nolulu harbor.
Along the keel galvanized iron plates
form an important feature in its solidi-
ty. The cabin surmounts the poop
deck, extending from side to side, and
has a length of twenty-five feet for
ward of the stern. Ia the cabin, neat
but plain furnishings will be put in
and six hunks will give accommodate
tions for all the officers, and for such
naturally carry from time to time
The masts are of Oregon pine, carry
ing mainsail and two jibs; there are
three anchors with one hundred and
fifty. fathoms of chain and one large
windlass One 20 foot surf boat is all
that the contract calls for; it will be
OF heavy, substantial construction, to
enable landings to be made along the
rough Kona coast. The sides of the
schooner are to sheathed with one
inch oak to prevent chatting.
Blight knots is claimed for the boat
with the gasoline engine alone, and
& Co. feel certain that the
boat in speed and durability will fill
all the requirements stated in the con-
tract
The contract price of the boat Itself,
and delivered to the owners
in the harbor of San Francisco is given
at 900, and the gas engine complet-
ed at S. 900 additional, makes the total
cost of $4,000
Another contract with the same
builder has been entered into for the
of a second gasoline
schooner, much larger than the boat |
completed, and this will be de-
livered by the first of March.
A captain has been sent from Homo |
lulu to take charge; the vessel will be |
loaded for McChesney, and upon ar
rival here will be put on a regular run |
20 Kona She is designed to carry 200
,ons of sugar under the deck.
No name has yet been selected, but |
,or clearance from San Francisco and
he trip down, the schooner will be |
called the Surprise

How COnsignOrs are Bothered
AhOut Consular Certificates.

Mr.. Steiner of Hart & Co. thinks
that there ought to be some way found
to get around the trouble mentioned
in the following letter from Consul
General Job at Chicago:
Chicago, Ills, Nov. 7, 1899.
Messrs Hart e Co., Ltd, Honolulu,
H. I.-Gentlemen: A great deal OF
confusion and delay has, in the past,
resulted from the failure on the part OF
shippers from the United States, to Sc
cure proper Consular certificates for
shipments to Hawaiian ports.
The Pacific Coast Consuls have re-
Gently adopted the rule to not issue
certificates for goods originating west
of the Coast States, but to observe the
law, which provides that shippers must
procure certificates from the Consul
nearest to the point from which the
shipment originates.
Accordingly, will you kindly notify
your forwarding agents, and those VINO
ship goods to you from my territory,
to have their invoices certified TO by
me.
Yours very truly,
FREDK. w. JOB.
Mr. Steiner says that people cannot
make long trips to find Hawaiian
Consul when they want to ship goods
and that it ought to be practicable to |
use notaries public for the certlflca-
ton of invoices. The Advertiser is in
formed that shippers may send their
INVOICES by mail to the nearest Consul
md that personal visits are not at all
necessary.

What the condition is of tine troops who
fed with Aguinsldo from Mslolos is I'M
certain. One reports represents them as
badly demoralizsd and likely to break up
into small bands, some of which will re-
turn and seek American protection. while
others Will become guerillas. The fact
seems to be, however, that little is posi-
lively known in regard to them. 1t was
supposed they had retreated TO Calumpit,
but our scouts report few there 1t is
asserted that they cannot retreat much
farther north without enoountering hos
tile tribes who viii attack them in the
rear. AS Gen. Otis, after brief rest, Is
TO resume the persuit of them We shall
soon find out with certainty what their
condition is, whether the loss OF their
capital has had dem oralizing effect
upon them, or whether they are playing
tae same anne that the Cuban
rebels played so many years

always retreating when pursued only to
return again ut the first favorable oppor-
tunity to harass the Spaniards.

The Dooley letters. which are having
such a run in this country at the present
time, have recalled to mind some Of the
political s tirists OF the past. One Of
the brightest of these was Major Jack
Downing of Downingsville, who was

tributor to the Bangor Commercial says:
"His letters generally discussed Andrew

his popularity. Seba Smith had as

gave vent to political humor and po-
litjcal sarcasm in the form of open let
tiers, the original Joe Strickland, whose
short and witty productions grsced tho
newspapers In 1926, '27 and %. They
were written by Geo. W. Arnold, who
kept a lottery Office In Broad way, New
York. Then came the Croaker papers Of
John Rodman Drake and Fitz Greene
Halleck, who jointly produced sstirical
odes and illusions in the columns of the
New York Post Major Jack Downing
appeared upon the scene of action about
this time and when Seba Smith ceased
to introduce his carnations to the pub

gustus Davis, of New York, who was
really Jack Downing, the seoond."

1t is said that Charles Kurt will be a
candidate for the Republican nomination
FOR governor of Ohio and that his chances
are good of getting it. 1t will be renem
oered that Kurtz led the opposition to the
election of Hanna to the senatorship,an
acted with the Democrats TO defeat him.
Il would certainly be a strange thing to
soc him SO soon heading the Republican
state ticket, but then Ohio politics are
past finding out. McKisson, who opposed
Hanna as bitterly as Kurtz, is now in
full control OF the Republican machine in

The annual meeting of the Women s
Literary Union, which occurred Saturday
afternoon, showed successful year. both
financially and in its growth. The
union is to be congratulated upon Its
work and the harmony existing among
It's mem bers.
Miss Inez Blanchard, president OF the
union, delivered a very interesting an
nual address. She said:
1.-THE reports of the officers and Others
connected with the work will prove TO
you the value of concerted action.
when the storm wind Of the ATTAIN
tic on November "a, 1898. took from us
three memb ers of tried worth, We testi-
fed by a memorial service in their honor
and by contribution to assist those
that underlying bond of sympathy which
exists covered by the conventionalities OF
life.
lin the one subject to which we are
committed by successful carrying out of
an idea, that of school room decoration,
your interest and cooperation are strong-
ly advised. l wish it might be possible
In this tho tenth year of your existence to
reach the summit OF the work, and for
you to know that every school room of
Greater Portland had received It's nucleus
in that direction
Miss Blanchard said that it was a
question whether or not the union should
continue "a member of the General FEEDER

sources was u, o50.67. The expenditures
were 1894 OF leaving a balance of $685. GO
In the treasury. About $500 was paid to
the Portland Sufferers Relief Fund and
500 was paid out for school decoration.
The balance Of the expenditure was for
the running expenses of the club.
Cora. @. Roberts, the recording secre-
tary, submitted her report in which she
| stated that the directors had held eight
regular and one special meeting. The
largest meeting was held In October when
there were SO present. The report fully

The judge who is presiding at the trial
of Nancy Guilfoid in Connecticut, has
Just sentenced a representative of the n lew
York Journal who has been reporting the
case to $50 fine and five days imprlson-
ment for contempt of court in misrepre-
sentipg the testimony and commenting
on the case in his reports. As the report
err had got beyond the jurisdiction of the
court before he was sentenced, he will
escape punishment. But the sen ten sc
will probably deter other representatives
of the yellow journals from following his
example in Connecticut at least.
