SAN DIEGO LINE.
Colonel Walker Discusses
Its Future.
Palatial Steamers 10 be Put On Within Year
In Connection With Santa
Fe Line.

Yes, the present line of freight
boats now running between the Orient
and San Diego will be superseded in
the near future by first-class ocean
liners which will bod for both passen-
ger and freight traffic said Colonel
Aldace F. Walker last nign, at the
Hawaiian Hotel.
Colonel Walker is the chairman OF
the board of directors of the Santa Fe
Railway, which controls the line OF
freighters which have been plying be-
tween San Diego and Japan for short
time past.
The freight line was put in as
feeler,'' he continued, "but now we are
satisfied that we should be justified in
Installing a regular first-class service,
and another year may see it in active
operation. The steamers put in will
be as good as anything now running
or which is to run in the Pacific, and
| if we cannot buy them already built
they will be built to order. The pas
senger traffic OF this ocean is bound to
increase and the Santa Fe, with its di-
rect through line, should be able to get
its share of the travel, especially the
transcontinental part OF it.
Under it's reorganization, made in
1896, the Santa Fe system has gone
steadily ahead, and is now paying
stock dividends. The stock is very
hnin
holders in the United States and a
great number in England. Before
many days the loot of the Santa Fe
locomotive will be heard in San Fran
cisco and the Southern Pacific monop-
oily, which has existed for years, will
be broken.
| Honolulu is delightful garden

their charm and beauty the Islands
have a magnificent future before them
Commerce will make them great, even
more than the sugar industry Vi
course in these days of marvellous pro-
fits in sugar it is hardly to be eX-
pected that there would be any othe-
god of industry in these Islands. But
Isome day more attention will be given
to fruits and to small farms so that sc
many things will not have to be I'M
Iported. Why, in alligator pears alone
EIhere is a big opportunity. In New
York this fruit is a great luxury or
account of it's rarity, and there is NJ
reason why the Islands should not ex
lport them by the ton.

A discovery of this astounding character
was bound to spread almost as rapidly as
an elopem ent story, and soon, 1t is said.
the farmers for miles around were apply
ing the noiso cure to their orchards.
Horns and drums and conch shells were
put into requisiticn and bushels of worms
are said to have been gathered UP and de-
stroyed. According to the adopts in tho
use of tho noise cure the conch shell
seems to be the most effective. although a
well beaten bass drum answers every
purpose.
We do not vouch for the strict accuracy
of this announcement, but unless the Cats
kill correspondent is gifted with AN abnor-
mally vivid Imagination that young female
hoCn blower solved two problems with one
blow. She not only discovered how to
bring the caterpillar down out OF the tree
without going up after it, but she also
furnished a solution of the problem what
to do with Wagner music, which has been
described as brilliant noise"
| 1t will be a simple matter for manufac-
turers of monographs to turn their at
tcntion to the Catskill discovery and de-
vclop tho same by supplying the con-
meeting link between Wagner music and
the forest tent caterpillar Farmers can
be provided with monographs and mega
phone attachment, and all the owner of
an orchard will need to do will he to turn
a Wagnerloaded photograph loose among
his trees and proceed to gather up the
caterpillar by the basketful. In the mean
time the idle brass bands and orchestras
throughout the country can be given en-
ployment playing Wagner to the phono-
graph.
i Tho discovery of the sound cure at Cats
kill is a little late for use this season as
the caterplars are now going into the
cocoon stage, but the same may be fully
perfected for the coming year; and it IS
not impossible that Wagner music may be-
come the most common. II not the most
popular, noise throughout our land.

TAX DODGING IN VERMONT.
(From the Barre Times.)

Mrs. Hetty Fl. Green, the richest
woman in the United States has changed
her legal residence from Bellows Falls
this state 10 Hoboken, y. j., and the
grand list Of Bellows Falls suffers seri-
ously in consequence. Mrs. Green is one
of those persons who would be willing to
live in a canal boat If she could save
money and avoid just taxation by such
means. In that respect however, she diff
fers only in degree from good many
other people.
One class of these tax dodgers which
especially deserves 10 be brought up is
made up of men who have bank account
of considerable proportions and just be-
fore the first of April withdraw the bulk
of their money and keep it in their safe or
first and then deposit it again. The presi-
dent of the national bank in Vermont a
few years ago told the writer that of the
deposits at that bank over 100000 Illegally
avoided taxation each year by this means.
With tax rate of 500 this would be a
loss Of $4,000 per of the income of the
municipality and to keep this money in
their pockets an unknown number of
men commit perjury each year.
This Is only one of the we'll known
methods of avoiding taxation, but there
are scores of others which become known
TO listers in their work but in such a
way as to make it impossible to secul e
a conviction for perjury in case they bring
1t into court. 1t is probably impossible 10
correct the abuse in all cases but we be-

be framed that would compel a part Of

THE BUTTER "RADlATOR.u
An Intcrestin Invention Which Promises
to RevOlutionize Dairying.

Several years ago, says the New Eng
land Farmer, dairymen were much in
terested in an invention called the But
ter extractor" which made butter direct
ly from milk. but it was not a success,
chiefly because it injured the grain of the
butter making it salvy. A short time since
another butter machine of Swedish in
vention. called the Radiator" was
brought TO the attention of butter
makers in this country by a representa-
tive OF the inventor. Those who have ex-
amined the machine give favorable re-
ports of its work and the quality of the
butter made In the old extractor" which
was also of Swedish invention. the cream
was thrown against rigid obstruction,
revolving with great rapidly, which broke
the butter globues, and the butter also
lacked flavor. owing to the absence of the
ripening process for cream. In the new
machine the claim is made that these diff
ficulties are overcome. The first by forcing
n fine stream of cream against afastrevol-
wing wall of cream, which has sufficient
elasticity to prevent the crushing of the
butter g,obules and preserve the grain.
The butter is ripened by subjecting 1t TO
the bacterial action of sour milk, which
it is claimed gives IL more even and bet
ter flavor and with less trouble than to
ripen the cream before churning. The ma
chine is made in several sizes, the smaller
ones being suitable for small dairies
The milk first runs into pasteurf&er at
the top of the radiator. where 1t is heated
to 10 degrees or $50 degrees by the en-
haust steam from the engine. The organ
isms that would produce fermentation are
thus destroyed. The milk then finds its
way to the intermediary milk cooler Orom
which air is excluded and is reduced to
100 degrees by the use of common water
at from so degrees to 70 degrees. From
the cooler the milk runs into the radiator
and is separated at about 100 degrees in
the lower chamber of the centrifugal bowl.
the separated milk passing away through
a pipe to a cooler a short distance from
the radiator. The cream rises to the up
per part of the rotating bowl. where 1t IL
cooled to 80 degrees or 90 degrees. and
Ichurned by means of fixed churning tube
inserted in the bowl, which contains leo
small holes through which the cream Is
thrown with great velocity against Aims
of cream whirling on the tluted sides of a
steel drum. AS one man expressed 1t, "The
cream really churns Itself" No ice is re-
ouired for cooling. The butter comes from
the radiator mixed with its frothy butter
milk and falls into a wooden tub. Tho
roth is drawn off and the butter grains
taken up and placed in the butter-worker
as usual.
They range in price from 5000 to $3.50.
They are now manufactured abroad, and
to procure one the purchaser would have
to pay high duty on its importation.

Wagner Music VS.. CaterpilIars.

The average reader would probably see
little connection between the subject OF
music and the caterpillar pest which Ver-
mont in common with other States has
been experiencing during the past few
weeks, but if a story coming from the
classic region of the Catskfll mountains
is correct, the former may prove to be
the long-sought antidote for the dreaded
forest tent caterpillar. According to the
narrative in question young woman

shade OF a maple tree and upon blowing

A Relic OF the French and Indian
War.

Hon. Cassus Peck has in his possession
the old French and Indian war 1t is a
powder horn which belonged to Captain
John Wheatley, when he was an officer in
the British army, and now belongs to Mr.
Jesse Wheatley of Brookfeld, Vt, who is
descendant of the original owner. 1t is
large horn, seventeen inches long and ten
inches in circumference at the large end
1t bears In plain letters, cut in the horn,
the inscription: capt. John Wheatlcy,
Crown Point, Oct. ye Sd, 1759'
This is the year in which Gen. Amherst
occupied Crown Point. and commenced the
erection there of the most costly fortress
In North America. The date '1759" may be
seen inscribed on the stone wall OF one OF
the old barracks, which Is still standing.
Etched on the horn is a sort Of go-as-you-
please map OF the field of military opera

If it materializes in earnest and with
Admiral Deweys acquiesccnce, the cit-
zens OF Vermont, we venture to predict,
will do their full share.
But If comparisons-'vhich Mrs. Mala-
prop pronounced to be "odorous"-are to
be made on the basis of the very lmpcr-
feet and fractional figures in the Eagles
table, we do not see that Vermont makes
such a very bad showing. Small as was
the sum standing credited to our State on
June LIST, it was more than to all the res
of the New England States put together,
and more than 10 any one of thirty other
States each of greater population and
wealth than our little State Taking num-
bers and means into the account no State
had done any better than Vermont except
New York; and $1,000, or nearly half of the
sum credited to New York was subscribed
by the Brooklyn Eagle. When we remem-
Der that the amount of taxable property
of the City of New York alone is twenty
times the taxable property OF he entire
State of Vermont, even the trifling sum
thus far credited to our little State is not
so far out of proportion to the s14o5 sub
scrbed by the great Empire State out
side of the Eagle office. However that
may be. the fact is that the scheme TO

,JamaiCa's Future,

While we are enumerating the success
of England's colonial system as a justii-
cation of our course in extending our do
main among the distant Pacific Islands 1t Is
significant that the future of Great Brit
aims West India possessions is the subject
of serious discussion, not only in London
but in Washington as we'll Our readers
will recall the announcement made some
time since to the effect that the people of
Jamaica were loud in ther expressions of
desire for annexation to the United States
The troubles which led to the discomfort
finding voice in that expression have not
ceased, but are progressing to more crit
ical stages.
In this connection It is announced that
our authorities in Washington have an
interest in the coming Of Jamaica's reel
procity commissioners greater than the
trade of that British possession warrants.
feeling Is said to prevail that before
these commissioners return to their homes
they will bring the entire question of the
future Of the West Indies 10 focus. The
British foreign Office is believed to have
asked other British dependencies to send
representatives to Washington at this
time for the purpose of counteracting the
influence of the Jamaican commissioners
but in view of the state of feeling among
the people of that island the chances are
that our British cousins will be unable 10
accomplish that purpose.
II the Jamaica commission should ask
for direct annexation to the United States
following the failure OF that body to Sc
cure reciprocity. their step might give rise
to a more serious controversy than that
over the Alaskan boundary; and this is
to all appearances one of the proba bilities

Democrats in a Waiting Mood,

The opinions expressed by various men,
hers of the democratic national commit
tee in response to inquiries by the Chicago
Times-Herald in relation to their party
battle cry in 1900, confirm what we have
already said In relation to the attitude of
the democratic party as as1 exemplinca-
ton of opportunlsm In American politics.
Different committeeman are more or less
outspoken with reference to the issues
they would make prominent in the COM
ing national campaign, but significantly
enough very few OF their number are will
ing to make any one issue paramount ms
was silver In the popocratic platform of
1896.
In speaking Of the reply Of Col. b. B.
Smalley, member of the national commit
tee for Vermont the Times-Herald says
that he is not yet prepared to say what in
his opinion should be the battle cry of the
democrats in the coming presidential cam
paign. He thinks it unwise to build n
platform this year on which to stand in
1900. preferring to wait until that time.
1t may be assumed with safety, however
that he will not advocate free silver, and
1t adds. what every Nermonter knows
that he lis at all times gold democrat"
1t is true, as announced by Telegraph,
that only one committeeman says openly
to drop free silver" but the contempor-
airy supplements the ilterSiews with the
announcement that the members OF that
body are nevertheless sounding the death
knell OF free silver as the party's domnan ut
issue in the campaign of 1900. Views
which the members of the national COM
mittee secretly expressed at their recent
conference in St. Louis are now coming
to light and the trend of the opinions ex-
pressed in the interviews is plainly away
from the free coinage issue.
But while the democratic party is to all
appearances recovering from its free sill
yer fever. the fact remains that its con-
valescence is leaving it without a sing ,e
dominating issue. Its leaders are still at
sea and will remain so until a republican
administration through its commendable
acts or it's mistakes forces an issue upon
them. They will wait for something 10
turn up and next year will seize upon the
questions which hold forth the greatest
promise of success at the polls.
