THE BANNER YEAR.

bradstreet's report for the year end
ing with December, 1899, is a most re-
mafkable showing OF prosperity. The
most sanquive American never dream
ed OF such prosperity. The report
says:

and financial hopes or predictions

uld during 1899. Certainly nothing
ike the widespread and general upward
movement of values, alike Of staples
and of securities, such as occurred

Where Most of Our Jewelry Is Made.
Providence, r. l., has the largest sill
factory in the world, the larg-
est mandatory for small tools and the
largest file works. Perhaps it is espe-
cially unique in producing more. jew
elry than any other city in the United
States, says the Nashville American,
and nearly as much as all the rest of
the country combined. There is no
city which possesses SO many separate
and distinct shops for the\manufaeture
of a single commodity as Providence
does for the manufacture of jewelry.
There are at least $50 separate fac
tories devoted to the making of gold,
silver, ro~lled-plated, electroplated and
brass jewelry and novelties. In addi-
ton, the auxiliary industries for fur
nishing supplies of special labor to the
jewelry factories number more than
seventy-five. Many of the jewelry
shops are small, employing only ten
or a dozen hands while some employ
as high as 300, and in one case 1,4OO.
By the state census of 1895 the capital
invested in this industry in Providence
is s12, 900 600; average number of hands
employed, 1000; annual wages paid,
$500, 600; avlue of material used, S.
500, 000; value of annual pT lucts, S14,-
DOC, 1000. Had these figure been taken
in 1898 they would have been at least
80 per cent more. In almost every case
the shops have been started by poor
men with small capital, and as a result
of success there has arisen a large
class of well-to-do-people, neither rich
nor poor, but prosperous and con-
tented.

TRANSVAAL LOSS OF LIFE.

Moralists are discussing the terri
BILE loss of life brought about by the
Transvaal war. Yet here life is sacri-
feed for a purpose-for an honest prin-
ciple. 1t were better to preach against
the needless sacrifice Of life. Thou
sands of people succumb to ailments
which might easily have been checked
in the beginning. Dyspepsia carries
off more people than are killed in war.
The use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
would ave many lives. Constipation
may seem a little thing, but it invari-
ably developes into something worse,
and the longer it is allowed to run, the
harder it is to cure. The Bitters cures
Indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia
and biliousness, naturally and perma-
nently, without shocking the system.
1t is good for everybody.

MAY GARRY POWER NILES.
NEW SCHEME PROPOSED FOR
SPRECKELSVILLE.
Surveys Being Made for Construction
of Electric Plant to Generate Power
for Pumping Station.

The Spreckelsville plantation man
ayers have now under consideration a
scheme to bring electric power to their
pumping plant distance of seven miles
According to the plans the plant will
be erected in lao valley for the purpose
of developing the water of that district
and saving a large amount of expense
in operating the pumping plant. The
attention of W. j. Lowrie the manager
of the plantation was called to the pos
sibility of such a scheme and he
brought it to the attention of the agents
of the company. The matter was placed
in the hands of Grimwood and Richard
son, the engineers for estimates OF the
cost
1--WE have had our engineers in the
field for a week." said Mr.. Richardson
this morning and it Will be month
before they are able to make report.
According to the proposal the company
is to erect an electric plant to develop
the water of lao Valley and develop
power for operating the pumping plant.
At the present time fully $250.000 a year
is spent in coal in running these pumps,
while such a plant as is proposed could
be run for about 100000 thus saving
from 100000 to $15O,000 a year. This
would within a short time pay for the
cost of the electric plant. A 5000 horse
power plant is to be put in.
AT present the power will be run
miles to Spreckelsville and may perhaps
be extended to Kikea a distance of Is
miles. The new machinery now used
in this work enables this transfer of
power to be made with slight loss. In
Southern California they have a system
from San BernadinO county into Los
Angeles carrying power a distance of
so miles with loss of only 20 per cent.
The operation from the lao Valley to
SpreckelsVille would be accompanied
by practically no loss at all In addi-
ton to the saving in operating the
pumping plant a large area of land
could be reclaimed by the development
of the water in lao Valley, a task which
is impossible now owing to the great
cost of pumping under present condi-
lions.
1T will require several months con-
sultatiOn after the report of the surveys
have been made, before it will be def
nitely decided whether to construct the
new electric system. If the decision be
favorable Mr.. GrimwoOd will probably
go east to attend to the purchase of the
machinery. 1t will be at least a year
before the plant is in operation"

WERE BEsIEGED BY BOXERS.
Return of Americans Who Were At
Picking.

A number of people who were eye
witnesses of the Boxer troubles were
among the passengers on the Coptic
which arrived yesterday from the
Orient. Mrs. NJ. S. Woodward, Miss
lone Woodward and Miss Cecile Payne
of Chicago who were guests of Minister
Conger during all of the terrible strug-
giles in Picking were on the steamer.
They say that they had nothing but
horse and mule flesh to eat for days.
Mrs Woodward attended the wounded
marines who helped defend the lega-
ton
Dr. ]. H. Ingram wife and two chill
dren were also among the Coptic's pas
sengers. They We're in Picking. DIR.
Ingram says that the relief of the lega-
tons occurred August IA instead of the
18th. After relief had arrived the Chi
nese made a furious attack upon the
legation but were repulsed.
Rev. Franklin Chaplin is another of
the American missionaries who were
at the legation during the attack of the
Boxers. He says that the Russians and
French planned to deceive the Ameri-
cans, English and Japanese by saying
they would not attack before August IA
but advanced the night previous. The
japanese spies heard of this manoeu-
Vre and warned the other allies. While
the Russians and French were attack
ing the north gate the Americans, Eng
fish and Japanese stormed the south
gate. The Chinese had taken their
force away to repulse the northern at
tack so the other allies encountered
comparatively little resistance, and sue
ceeded in getting into the city by the
14th. The Americans were the first to
enter, climbing over one OF the walls.
w. G. F. Squires a youth was also at
Picking during the attack of the Boxers.
The others aboard who experienced the
Boxer troubles are Rev. F. Brown, c.
H. Fem. and c. H. Oliver. Captain S.
E. Smiley went to China from Manila
to Join the fourteenth Infantry but was
taken sick.

PUBLIC PARKS.
An Enthusiast Writes About the Capt.
toll Grounds.


EDITOR STAR: Honolulu's popula-
ton is Increasing very rapidly. Public
parks and breathing places are very
few High business blocks are looming
up and more are in progress and in pro-
ject of building, where formerly were
beautiful lawns, shrubbery and trees.
The government would do a wise and
economical turn to provide parks and
air spaces for the future.
We have a beautiful park right in the
center IF Honolulu; the capitol grounds.
But it is tabu just at the time when
the taxpayers could enjoy it. There is
no earthly reason why our authorities
should shut the ponderous rates of the
old palace at 5 p. m. Let the public
have the benefit of the beautiful
grounds. I'm sure this will be a very
popular sep and greatly appreciated
by thousands Of people that can't
afford private grounds and have not
the time and means to get out of the
city during our lovely evenings. The
guards that patrol the grounds after
nightfall can be stationed inside the
capitol buildings and that is the proper
place foc the guards. By all means let
the grounds be open and free to the
public,
We are now a part of the great re-
public and have no more revolutions to
fear so 10 away with that high iron
fence and closed gates. Provide a few
more exits and plenty of lights, A
low stone coping will be sufficient to
protect the lovely spot in the center of
Honolulu.
The Sunday concerts at the capitol
are greatly enjoyed by our popula-
tion and would be more so if the num-
Der of rustic seats We're increased and
placed pc anently around the magni-
ficent shade trees.
If our energetic and liberal minded
superintendent of Public Works could
carry this suggestion out | am sure he
will become very popular with the pub
lie.
