The Automobile Truck.

The Directors of the State Agri-
cultural Society voted yesterday that a
special gold medal for meritorious and
mechanical display be awarded to the
exhibit of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson.
The most conspicuous feature of this
exhibit is the representation in regu-
lar size of an automobile truck. 1t is
set upon a platform in the midst of an
exhibit of stoves and ranges, and is
itself laden with ranges. Incandescent
lights of red, white and blue are placed
all over it, forming the outline of the
truck. The wheels are studded with
them, and are kept revolving. The fig
ure of a man with metal cap and collar
sits on the seat grasping a wheel
brake. A large gong is seen just below
the seat, and numerous minor details
of the automobile truck as it will be
when it makes it's appearance here are
represented. The idea is in line with
once given the credit of being up to
date.
Among the ranges shown are the fa-
vorite steel Monitors and Gem Mon
itors. The various sizes and attach
ments of these are effectively displayed; |;
also, an immense United States army
range, the range adopted by the Gov
ernment for use in the different army
posts throughout the country.
There is an interesting assortment
of modern copper, agate and nickel
kitchen utensils, a long line of air.
tight and other heaters and refriger-
ators. The exhibit we'll merits the spe-
cial recognition given it by the Direc-
tors of the society.

Washing the Face.

The right and wrong way of washing
is now being intelligently studied
The method of performing this daily
face washing is of great Importance,
as even if only only washes it twice d
day the operation has to be gone over
700 times in the course of a year and
this would naturally affect it for good
or evil.
Highly scented or highly-colored
soaps should be avoided, and one which
gives a soft lather and does not cause
any feeling of irritation is the best
The soap should be we'll rubbed into
the face with a clean piece of flannel,
and bathed off in basin of absolutely
clean water. so that every particle of
soap may be removed.
After a thorough bathing the face
should be dried with a Turkish towel,
then with moderately rough towel,
unless the face is very sensitive, and
finally welh rubbed over with a piece
of chamois leather.
Gentle friction of the face with soft
lather, or, better still, with the finger
tips, when clean, tends to remove lines
and prevent the formation of wrinkles.
If lines have formed the skin should
be rubbed in direction contrary to
their length; as, for example, there are
vertical lines between the eyebrows.
they should be rubbed from side to
side; if there are straight lines across
the forehead. they should be rubbed
down from the hair to the root of the
nose and back again.

The Ice Flow.

The action of flowing ice, whether in
the form of river-like glaciers or broad
mantling folds, is but little understood
as compared, says John Muir in writing
of Yosemite in the Atlantic" with that
of other scupturing agents. Rivers
work openly where people dwell, and SO
do the rain, and the sea laundering on
all the shores of the world; and the
universal ocean of air, though invisible,
speaks aloud in thousand voices and
explains its modes of working and its
power. But glaciers back in their cold
solitudes work apart from men, exert
ing their tremendous energies in silence
and darkness. Coming in vapor from
the sea, flying invisible on the wind,
descending in snow, changing to ice,
white, spirit-like, they brood outspread
over the predestined Landscapes, work.
ing on unwearied through unmeasured
ages, until in the fullness of time the
mountains and valleys are brought
forth, channels furroWed for the rivers,
basins made for meadows and lakes,
and soil beds spread for the forests
and fields that man and beast may be
fed. Then vanishing like clouds, they
melt into streams and go singing back
home to the sea.
Standing on this adamantine old mon
ument in the midst of such scenery,
getting glimpses of the thoughts of
God, the day seems endless; the sun
stands still. Much faithless fuss is
made over the passage in the Bible
telling the standing still of the sun for
Joshua. Here you may learn that the
sun stands still for every devout noun
taineer-for everybody doing anything
worth doing, seeing anything worth
seeing. One day is as thousand years,
a thousand years one day, and while
yet in the flesh you enjoy immortality.

State Fair Notes.

Secretary Shields has been ably as
sisted during the Fair by Harvey Lon
den. Mr.. Londen was formerly asso-
ciated with President Spreckels in rae,
ing matters in San Francisco, and his
thorough knowledge of that department
of the Fair has been attested by the
utter lack of friction that has charac-
terized matters at the Park He has

Rartan Ice Cream.

The person has yet to be found who
since the opening of the Pavilion has
complained of the quality of the ice
cream. 1t is all Barton's. and is in
variably good. The secret of the sue
cess of Barton's ice cream is that, in
addition to knowing how to make it. he
always uses pure, fresh, sweet cream.
Barton has several booths in different
parts of the Pavilion, where ice cream,
ice cream soda and lemonade are
served. The favorite one seems to be
in the south wing up stairs. This is

AS the week draws to a close the
strongest attractions are to be pre-

remembered for the drawing powers or
the stage shows, special events and its
spendid musical concerts. Not small
amount of credit for the stage shows
and the promptness in conducting the
same is due to L. w. Buckley, who
has also directed over forty exposl-
tions, fairs and carnivals, and who has
been wired to go to San Francisco 10

The celebration Of the Feast Of the
Holy Ghost began Saturday evening
and was continued throughout yester-

Mission were crowded throughout the
celebration with devotees who came to
lay their offerings upon the altar where
reposed the crown and sceptre.
At o'clock Saturday evening the
fete began. The bazaar was thrown
open and the offerings which had been
collected previously were blessed. The
procession of priests and the faithful
was formed and the crown and sceptre
were taken from the cathedral and
placed in the repository which had
been built for them. The altar and
chancel in this building were beauti.
fully decorated with flowers. In the
midst of the decorations numerous

TOO MUCH GOLD
Plethora of Yellow Coin
Reported From East.
Storage Facilities OF Banks Over
taxsd-Paymsnt Of Customs
Theories Are Confutsd.
New York WORLDLY

The banks and the treasury alike
are suffering novel embarrl 'sment.
They have too much gold.
There is u cash balance of 1881 $780,
S7S In the treasury. of which $2il,-
496, O16 is in gold while the small re-
mainder is divided between treasury
notes, greenbacks and about four and
a quarter millions of net silver.
At the same time the banks have so
great a glut Of gold that their storage
facilities are overtaXed, and to get rid
of the burden they are paying larger
proportion than ever before of GUS
toms dues in the yellow metal. Thus
during March, 1897, no gold was re-
ceived for customs; during March.
1898, the proportion of gold received
was 17.6 per cent: during March, 1899,
1. was no less than $50 per cent, and
during the first ten days Of April II
rose to S91 per cent.
Americans do not and will not use
gold in ordinary business. This Is
partly because of long habituatiOn to
the more convenient paper money and
partly because we have small notes.
In England. where the smallest Bank
of England note is for G5, or $25, and
in France, where the smallest Is 5Of.,
or $40. gold passes freely from hand to
hand and large amount of It is kept
In circulation. Here we hurry our
gold to bank and the banks hustle II
into the treasury.
The present plethora Of the more
precious metal confutes some econom-
ic theories and disproves great many
political prophecies, but facts are
stubborn things"

That the Railroad company had al
ready entered into contract with the
Olaa Sugar Co. for the immediate con-
struction OF the road to that point and
expected to do the same with the Puma

ready placed orders for rails, locomo-
tives and other building material to
the amount Of about 100000; that
the company expected to take immed-
late steps for pushing the road In the
HilO and Hamakua districts; that 1t
had been suggested that the existing
company had not intended to build to
Hilo and Hamakua, but this was in
correct.
The company had not gone into bus
mess for the purpose of building a

The City of Picking arrived in
San Francisco from Honolulu
today and brings news Of the

The Picking spoke the steamer
Elihu Thomson, when $50 miles

Thomson, boarded the Picking
and said his vessel was making
about three knots an hour and

offered to tow the Thomson into
port. Capt. Whitney declined
the offer, but very gladly ac-
cepted two bolts of sailcloth
with which to make extra sails.
There is $4,000 insurance on
the hull and about $4,000 on
