Kennebec Lumber Cut.

BY hose in situation to know about it
the lumber cut on Kennebec waters is
than estimated to be about 30 per cent

prices for manufactured lumber in the

Literary Notes.

early issue OF The Ladies' Home journal
his latest piece of literary work. 1t il a
series OF popular articles In which he de-
fines the relation that minister holds
to his congregation how a preacher is
helped by his people; how eongrega-
ton can make the most of minister,
and other phases of the most satisfac-
tory attitude of congregation to a
pastor
Lieutenant Peary, now in the Arctic
regions prosecuting new search for the
Pole, will describe, in the March number
of McClure's Magazine, the plan on
which he is conducting what he aptly
calls his campaign" and explain the
grounds Of his strong hope OF its ending
in securing TO himself and the United
States the glory Of discovering the Pole
The article will be illustrated, largely
from photographs taken by the thor
himself.
Major Gen. Greene, who is the author
of the standard history of the last
Turco-Russian war, and other military
works, writes a very interesting article
in the March Century upon Capture of
Manila" Ia writing of the campaign in
the Philippines he speaks with authori-
ty; for he commanded the second expe-
dition from San Francisco and took
conspicuous and important part in the
operations of the army. This is the first
of two articles from his pen. Lieut..
Hobson tells in this number of his ex-
perience in prison in Santiago and his
observations of the siege; Lieut.. j. Il.
Bernadow, who CON manded the torpedo
boat "Winslow" in the action at Carde-
mas In which Ensign Bagley was killed,
tells the story of MAY llth; Lieut..
Cameron Winslow, who commanded the
cable-euttng expedition at Ceinfuegos
the same day describes the hazardous
operatives which he directed.

Portland Press; The speech of Rep
resentative Merrill of Skowhegan, de-
mandatory of the railroad lobby at Au-
gusta is interesting from several points
Of view. Mr.. Merrill is understood to be
prominent candidate for the Speaker
ship of the next House, and his most
dangerous rival is Joseph Il. Marley,
for years the head of the railroad lobby
and the spokesman of its interests on the
floor at the present time. A contest be-
tween these two, in the light Of Mr..
Merrilrs attitude, may draw the line
between the lobby and the people in a
more pronounced way than either has
foreseen.

the Executive has also failed to
explain. The members of the
Executive have just the same
right to pay this delegate from
the Diplomatic service funds,
that they have to pay laborers on
the plantation from the appropri.
alton to assist European immi-
grafton.
If, as Mr.. Dole has lntim ated, the
President has so cordially endorsed
this delegate, why is it the Execu-
tive has made no effort, or if il has
n ade the effort why has it failed,
to have his expenses paid from
the 100000 appropriation for
the annexation Of Hawaii ?
The funds in the treasury of
Hawaii are the property of the peo.
tple, not the Executive. The people
by their representatives have
given no authorization for the
payment of special delegates to
Washington sirce annexation; no
evidence has been given that this
delegate will be either useful or
ornamental except TO denizens Of
the government building, and the
Executive has taken good care not
to submit the question of supply
ing funds for his expenses even to
the members of the Council of
State.
The position of the Executive is
similar to thst of the man who
took funds not belonging to him,
aud offered as an extenuating cir
cumstance that he gave public no
tie that the funds would be taken.

After the annexation of Hawaii
the Washington authorities found
that they could not draw upon the

alton for funds to maintain Fed
eral officers whose duties in Ha-
wsii were continued under the
Newlands Resolution.
Hawaii's officials, however, take
it into their heads that they need a
special representative in Wash
ington. When the question of sal
sry and expenses for this delegate
comes up-and it is not supposed

Mr. EDIToR:-I wish to correct
a wrong impression in regard &c
the knowledge Of the arrival in
this city q little while ago OF Jos
Malins, the great temperance
worker, that has been spread
abroad by the publication of an
article in the Advertiser of phurs-
day morning. Honolulu temper
abce people are accused of not
having known anything of the ar
rival of Mr.. Mains in the city.
Evidently the Advertiser had just
learned of it.
l knew Mr.. Mains was coming
and went to the steamer to meet
him. L got hack, took Mr..
Mains up town and to the Y. Nj.
Q. A. and entertained him until
the afternoon when the temper
ance committee of the Y. M. @. A.
met him and talked over temper
ance matters.
The meeting lasted two hours
and a lot of useful information
was CLEANED. l had intended call
ing a big public meeting for the
evening but, as the steamer in
which he came was leaving at 8
o'clock, nothing along this line
could be done.
1t is hardly probable that man
of Mr.. Mains prominence would
pass through Honolulu without
the knowledge of it being herald
ed abroad.

THE STERLING CONSIDERED
THE BEST WHEEL MADE.

GAS the constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;
AS the constant gnaw of tiger
Masticates the toughest bone;
AS the constant cooling lover
Carries off blushing maid,"
So the constant cycle rider
Says, the Sterling's best wheel made.
Many and varied are the bicycles which
are now offered to the riding public; some
good, Others fairly so; but more which are
scarcely worthy of the name. To the in
experienced wheelman all wheels look
alike to him, as they are enamelled, nickel
ed and decorated to produce like effect.
The best fittings,-as tires, saddles, ETC.,
are also sometimes to be found on the
cheapest wheels; this being possible, as
the money which should be expended on
good material and the skillful manufacture
Of same, Is used instead for the outside
appearances; thus bright nickel and good
enamel may cover the cheapest cast iron
and gas pipe.
In the every day use of cycle, It Is
subjected to very severe strains, and a
machine upon which the owner is to trust
his safety should be carefully selected, as
an imperfeetly brazed tube, or other SINH
lar defect, Is liable to cause serious injury
to the rider. Therefore 1t is well, when
purchasing wheel, to examine fully into
Its construction, material used, and the
amount of experience its makers have had
in the building of fcyeles. Before you
finally decide to buy wheel, the P. c.
Mfg. Co. on Fort Street would like to
show you the 90 Model Sterling and ex-
plain their superior points to you. Lady's
and Gents high grade Sterling 10000 on
small weekly or monthly instruments.
