and this was the miserable result Old
memories crowded upon his mind, and
the present faded and grew indistinct,
losing itself in the past. The comely
woman before him was a child again,
and he, her proud stepbrother, her
chosen playfellow. They met on more
equal terms then, in the happy uncon-
| seriousness of childhood.
Thy mother has been a good mother
to me" The woman's voice recalled
him, and he raised his head to listen.
Twas my father came between u.s."
May, nay; twas he threw us to-
gether. Thou wouldst never have
thought to marry me but for him. He
warned thee to have naught to do with
such ne'er-do-well, and that set thee
to spite him.
"Ah!"

but-the manner of telling me so might

The tired voice sank to silence. He
was too utterly weary to say more.
Ralph, lad-O, l deserve it all! Thou
dost right to blame mel"
Blame thee" he looked at her in a
bewildered sort of way. Il did not
think to blame thee. Twas all a mis-
take, but a mistake there was no going
back upon. | pay for it-now. [ have
done my best-for thee-it is not vet

He sank back in the chair, and his
eyes closed.
The woman flung herself on her
knees beside him, and took his wasted
hands in her strong, warm clasp.

thee through all. 1t angered me that
thou vast poor, that folk should think

But she pleaded in vain. In the deep
silence the rain battered against the
window, ceaselessly, monotonously. vet
with a strange insistence. There was
no other answer.
She chung closer to him, a dawning
terror in her great gray eyes.
Ralph, lad, | love thee" she cried.
'Dost not hear? l love thee. | have
longed for thee all these weary years to
tell thee, to show thee"
Another sound broke in on the pat
tering of the rain-the sound of patter-
ing feet along the passage, and then
child's happy laughter!
'Hist, Ralph" and she sprang to her
feet. "Dost hear? Thou wilt hear him
our sonny little boy whom have
so longed to show to his father! o,
thou wilt forgive me now and love me,
and-Ralph Ralph!"
She threw herself on the ground be-
side him and broke into passionate
weeping.
Yes, she had been pleading to deaf
ears.
1t was too late for love or for remorse
to avail her anything here. Ralph
Wroughton, the failure, was dead.
And without a laughing child tried
vainly to raise the latch.-W est End.

LORD BEREsFORD.

Every citizen of every nationali.
ty extends a cordial greeting tc
Lori Charles Beresford. Enter
in lis outpost of American ter
ritory at a time when bonds OF
friendship between the English
speaking nations from them
into a sort of interna-
tional nationality, it is with
particular pleasure that the Anne.
rican citizens as we'll as the
British residents accept the oppor-
tunity to offer their tribute of
friendship and respect to one Of
the most notable figures of British
affairs.
As regards Lord Beresford's
present mission, the interests of
Americans and British are iden-
ticsl. 1t was when the first blows
were struck to open, the door of
the Orient that the "blood is
thicker than water" incident &C.
cured, and the two nations have
since that time forged along the
same pathway in opening the
Oriental DOR to modern progress
in civilization as well as com
merce.
MAY the bonds of friepdshi p
never loosen, and may the furries
of international strife that have
occasionally cropped up in the
English speaking family be ever
know as unfortunate inciden to
of the 10Th century.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1899-02-03

1t is rather an interesting coin
cidDice that Lord Beresfor1
who champions the British and
American friendship and progress
shonld arrive at this American
outpost on the same day as the
American troops who 60 forward
to uphold American houor and
progress in the Orient. They are
goirg in opposite directions but
they are working for the same
end the fulfillment of the DIES
tiny of the English speaking ma
tions rs powerful factor in the
civilization of the world.

1t was in 1856 that Roosevelt
showed most marked allegiance
t. party, which gives the lie to
the differences of the Mugwumps.
A. 5. Hewitt was nominated by
Tammany for Mayor of New York
city. Hewitt was recognized as
an excellent man for the place
and an attempt was made to have
the Republicans endorse him
This they refused to do and
Theodore Roosevelt accepted
the Republican nomination for
Mayor simply to preserve
the integrity of the Republican
party. This incident had an
almost exact parallel in the cam
p ,ign of 1897 when Gen. Tracey
ran on the regular Republican
ticket aud refused to combine with
the Mugwump movement Of the
Citizens Union. In each case the
party and the candidates recog-
nized that defeat was sure. The
fight was made simply and solely
to preserve the dignity of the
party, irrespective of the good
character of the men placed before
the people by the opposition.
Roosevelt was appointed assistant
secretary of the navy by virtue of
his personal worth and steadfast
loyalty to the party. His appoint
ment was endorsed by the party
organization, and the bosses. In
the governorship campaign he also
had the support of the party or
ganization and retains it even to
the present day,
This is the record of facts and
II is mighty small satisfaction that
the opponents of party organiza-
ton and friends of independent
off shoots get out of it. Roosevelt
has been and is an independent
character, and is power in his
party but he has always accepted
the decision of the majority
although it may have been not
altogether In keeping with his
personal views.

of Hawaii, gentlemen, l am con-
fident is assured.
"You have referred to my mis-.
sion as being in the interest of
commerce and peace. 1 think we
may hope ere long to see an ALI
ance between Great Britain, the
United States, Germany and
Japan-not for selfish purposes,
but for the realization of that CON-
mercial ideal which has been apt
ly condensed into the term, the
open door, 1t would be an alli-
ance that would promote trade,
which is the best means of pre-
serving the peace Of the world
that blessing that we all desire
most devoutly."
Lord Charles concluded by
again heartily thanking the
British residents of Honolulu for
their hearty Hawaiian welcome.
His offhand reply, delivered in
quiet and charming manner, was
saluted at the close with applause.
After the formality was over,
Lord Charles chatted gaily with
members of the party. He laugh
ingly admitted the escapade 10
which he was concerned as
"midshipmite" while here in the
Clio in 1865. Also he spoke of
his second visit here with the
Duke of dinburgh in II. b. M.
s. Galates in 1869 He remarked
the great undermining of the town
which had taken place since then.
Commissioner Kenny invited
the gentlemen of the com mittee
and the Chamber of Commerce
to luncheon with Lord Charles
Beresford at l o'clock. Later, it
had been announced by telephone
that a reception would be
given the distinguished visitor at
the consulate general, Palsma,
this evening. This will be by
invitation.
The informal reception at the
Consulate over, Lord Charles and
II. Is. Ms Commissioner Kenney
drove to Waikiki to call on Har-
old NJ. Sewall, the representative
of the United States here. At q
o'clock, Lord Charles returned
to the Consulate and at 2:l5, sat
down to luncheon with Mr.. Ken
ny, mem bers of the Com mittee of
Welcome and the Committee from
the Chamber of Commerce. The
Quintette Club is stationed outside
and the luncheon progress merrily

1t is interesting aud amusing to
noe he attempts of Mugwump
factions TO represent Theodore
Roosevelt as an enemy of parties
and the so called party bosses.
AS matter of fact Roosevelt has
been strict party man from his
first entrance in politics, and the
Republican organization has sup
ported him. In 1881, one year
after his graduation from Har-
ward he was elected to the state
assembly; he WIS reelected to the
Office in 1883 and in 1884 was
chairman of the New York DELE
CATION to the National Republic
40 convention.

Board OF Agriculture.

A short session of the Board Of
Agriculture was held this fore
noon. Routine matters were at
tended to.
The Board voted to allow the
Ladies Floral Society to have a
piece of land on the Makiki slope
of Punchbowl for a flower garden,
the amount of land and the rent
for the same to be left with the
Minister of the Interior.
Byron o. Clark reported that
he was unable to obtain the TO-.
600 camphor trees which he had
ordered from California. The
supply had run out, and only
1000 could be obtained.
Camphor tree seeds are now on
the way, and these will be planted
as soon as they have arrived.

REPLY

Lord Charles Beresford replied
in substance as follows:
"Dr. McKibbin and Gentlemen
l feel highly gratfied at the kind
thought that prompted your cor
dial address of welcome. While
it is very gratifying to public
man to receive expressions of APP
probation of his conduct, you are
aware that the sentiment of our
countrymen is that a public man
is always expected to do his best.
81 have been very pleased to
note the conciliatory and friendly
tone of your address in its refer
ence to our kinsmen of the United
States of America. The interests
of that nation and our own are
identical for the promotion Of
commerce aud peace. With both
working in harmony to that end l
think the peace of the world
would be assured. There has
been a great advance of late in the
friendly relations of Great Bri.
tain and America, and so long az
such mutual sentiment prevails
there is really no need of form
al alliance.
"There was talk once of de.
sire of Great Britain to acquire
the Hawaiian Islands. Since she
has not done 30, l am sure there
is no nation that Britons would
next prefer to own the islands
than the United States. With
regard to the native Hawaiians,
can not say that 1 know very much
about their position. 1t may be
presumed, however, that they feel
a degree of soreness over the
change in the political conditions
of their country. Nevertheless
looking back to my own country
not 30 very long ago, there was
considerable soreness in Ireland
over its union with Great Britain
Indeed, a good many Irishmsn to,
day think that the union is not en-,
titled properly-thst il should bs
Great Ireland and Britain in,
stead OF Great Britain and Ire.

 The second purchase was the prop erty known as the Debar Mountain tract, in the town of Duane, compris- ing about 15,O0G acres. This property partly adjoins that of the Mecham Hotel company, which owns several thousand acres.
 It is reported here that the Rocke- fellers have made offers fer the en- tire Meacham lake property and also for the Paul Smith property and forest lands. \ year ago the AIeacham lake property was on the market at sS0. 0.0OO, but this was before the new house was erected.
 Within the Santa Clara preserve were numerous private holdings and a small village known as Brandon. These property owners have been largely bought up during the last few months, so that the Rockefellers prac- ticaIIy own the town. Should the AIeacham fake property be purchased it is said the same policy would be followed in Duane, which consists a. most wholly Of a sparsely settled farming community.

Evidence Tending to Prove Identity

Mexico, Mo. July 12.-It developed today that when Alexander Jester es- caped from jail twenty-eight years ago he left bible behind with his name written therein. In view of the fact that the aged prisoner denies that he is the Jester wanted for the Gilbert Gates murder and yet admits he is a preacher and has gone under the name of Alexander Jester, it would appear that the bible is strong evidence against him.
