TRANSITION IN HAWAII.
The Modern Overwhelming the AM
client is Not Change Wholly TO he
Desired.


JUNE "a, 1899.
Editor Of The Phonir.
Dear Sir:-People hereabouts are hurry
ingto get letters ready for the Mariposa,
which came in from Australia this morn
ing and goes to the states at a o'clock. We
have been here only two days, but find our
selves already falling into the ways of the
land. 1t seems odd to have our mail only
once week on the average. When the
Nicarauga canal and the cable and the new
line of big ships are completed great things
are expected here. Already rapid changes
are going on. Modern business blocks and
elegant residences are going up and the
promise of complete alteration of APP
pearance is very clear. One, however,
from the tourists standpoint, cannot re-
press a feeling of regret at the sight of the
modern overshadowing the ancient and
quaint. The little stores, the narrow
streets, filled with people from all over the
world, the funny tram cars drawn by
mules and ponies, the native costumes and
the manners that have come down from
generations far back, have certain pic
turesqueness and charm which the visitor
would not have dispelled, Somehow there
seems to be an incongruity between the
lazy pace of nature.
As l write looking through an open
door all kinds of tropical growths are in
view. The college grounds embrace about
300 acres on a gentle slope towards the
sea. Here thrive palm trees in variety,
oleander, rubber tree, monkey pad, al
gasubas, golden showers and many l can
not name. In the gardens grow pineap-
rNlo ,Nio frttii
mangoes, oranges and vegetables common
to the States. The climate is favorable to
long growth and continued abundance.
Time does not count as it does where the
season is shorter. There is nearly mile
of night-blooming cereus in detached
hedges, which a week or ten days ago had
about 500 blossoms. The houses of the
well-to-do people nestle in the midst of
this tropical luxuriance.
A view from Punch bowl mountain day
before yesterday revealed a wealth of
beauty hardly to be surpassed anywhere,
The diligent Chinese and japanese, with
their gardens and fields of rice and fruit,
and the natives with their taro patches
give brightness to the landscape, but
leisurely nature displays herself most at
tractively. Modern progress must in due
time work great notifications not alto
gether to be desired. The advance, how
ever, has begun and is not likely to be
stopped. Schools, papers, banks and in
tercourse with the land of annexation are
fast undermining and will eventually OBJ
literate much of the past. 1t is pleasant
to be here now and look backward and
forward at the same time.
We have been most cordially received.
This afternoon we attend reception Civ
en- by President Dole. Several invita-
lions to social functions are received, the
hours go by swiftly as we take in new
sights and sounds. Our journey hither
was delightful except for the heat be-
tween Boston and Chicago, and we are
both well.
We would that a host of our friends at
home could be enjoying this restful and
valuable vacation with us.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Three Fires at Keene.

They Were Set by Incendiery Rioters
who Planned 20 Burn Several Build
ings.
A gang of incendiary rioters kept the
fire department busy by setting three fires
at Keene Monday night.
The first was in barn in Ash Swamp
meadow owned by Charles II. and Parker
G. Butler and containing several tons OF
old hay The barn was an old one and the
entire loss could not have been but few
hundred dollars. The alarm was rung IN
about 9:15 o'clock and the department re-
sponded at once, but it was impossible TO
get the apparatus TO the fire in time to be
of service. An alarm was rung soon after
II o'clock for a fire in a pile of hay on the
Fitchburg railroad company's property.
The department again turned out but could
do little. At Q 10 Tuesday morning the
new Washington street alarm was rung IN
for fire in an old barn owned by Geo. X.
Wright, east of the Burdette chair factory.
The two hose wagons and one steamer re-
sponded and two streams were soon on the
burning building, but it contained several
tons of hay which burned like finder, and
the building was soon destroyed with most
of its contents, including some farm
machinery. The hook and ladder company
was summoned to the scene later. The
loss will probably be within the hundreds.
The old tannery property at West Keene
and several other buildings had been set
apart for bonfres by the city vandals, but
rumors of their plans reached Marshal
Cole and the property was saved.

OVER 400 STUDENTS
Have Registered at the Conference at
East NOrthfcld.

East NOrthficld.
To the Editor of The Phenir:-I
haven't seen lately more refreshing and
encouraging sight than the conference of
young men now in session in Mortified.
There are about 900 student delegates in
attendance (84 from Yale alone) and the
Holy Spirit is moving among them might
ly. The young women's conference, which
opens July IA, bids fair to rival it in at
tendance and power. Over 400 delegates
have already registered-the largest num-
Der in the history of the movement Mr..
Robert E. Speer, who has been received by
the men with the utmost enthusiasm, is to
speak every day at the young women's
conference, besides conducting a daily BIZ
BILE class in the study of the Gospel of
John. DR.. Charles Cuthbert Hall of New
York and Rev. Teunis Hamlin, D. D.,
Washington, are also among the speakers.
Now this conference is open to the
whole Christian public. Arrangements
have been made so that whether visitors
come alone or with friends, good accom-
modations will be found, and at very small
expense. 1t will be a wonderful oppor-
tunity for spiritual uplift and blessing.
hope pastors will make special effort to
bring it to the attention of the young
women of their churches.
Yours sincerely,
D. l.. MOODY.

Mortified had the quietest Fourth for
many years. The small boy was not in
evidence, and people were allowed to sleep
in peace during the night, and only an oc-
casional cracker disturbed the quiet of the
day. Many drove to adjoining towns to
celebrate. On the Seminary grounds pat.
riotic zeal was exhibited as only 900 wide

The afternoon was given up to the sports

An Hour.
In an interview at London Tuesday re
garding the torpedo boat-destroyer Viper,
which is being fitted up with the turbine
system of engines in the expectation that
she will develop a speed of 43 miles an
hour, Hiram Maxim, the well-knowh in
ventor, declared there was no doubt that
need had been shown for the extraordinary
speed promised, and that Mr.. Parsons, the
inventor of the turbine system, was the
man to get this speed. Mr.. Maxim aided
that the boats deck would have to be fair
ly near the water. 1t would need to carry
every boiler and engine it could possibly
hold. The steel screws must be exception

The turbine could be beneficially expert

did not increase the speed it would at any
rate remove the vibrations caused by the
working of the present engines. One OBJ

1T was difficult to quickly stop a vessel on
which it.was used, but engineering enter
prise would overcome that Then there is
the matter of storage. The adoption of the
new system would lead to the construction
of more spacious vessels, which would
gradually replace the present line steamers.
