A pretty little miss of about IA sum-
at Linwood short while ago. 1t was
about the first wedding that she had
ever attended, and she felt the impor-
lance Of the occasion very much. After
the ceremony she noticed that the peo-
pie went up to the bride and groom and
that they were words of congratuia-
ton or coincidence or something of that
sort, but her ideas of the proper thing
to say under the circumstances were a
little vague. Finally she whispered to
an old friend of the family who was
near by:
What shall l say when 1 go up
there?' she faltered.
ooh, just anything to show them that
you are glad they are married. Just
something complimentary, you know"
In few minutes the little miss had
made her way to where the happy cou-
pie were receiving the congratula lions.
There was quite a crowd around, but
she didn't mind them one bit. She
marched straight up to the bride and,
extending her hand, said:
81 wish you many happy returns of
the day"
The remark convulsed every one in
hearing, but the little miss left the
church with the consciousness that she
had observed the proprieties.-Cincin.

KlHEI MAY REDUCE
ITS CAPITAL STOCK
The Shareholders Will Decide
on a Proposition at a
Meeting.

meeting of the stockholders of the XII
hei Plantation Company has been called
for a somewhat unusual purpose. and un-
der unusual circumstances.
The Kihei plantation consists of about
5000 acres of cane land, part of which
belonged to H. P. Baldwin Individually,
and the remainder to him and L. A.
Thurston jointly. The land had never
been used for anything but pasture, until
surface water in large quantities was dis
covered on the adjoining land of the Ha-
waiian Commercial Company, when Bald
win and Thurston began developing water
on their own land, found an abundance,
and started plantation on a small scale.
At this juncture B. F. Dillingham; exam
ineo the land and made them a PROPOSE
ton that he would form company, which
should buy the land from the owners, for
81, SOC, 900 in paid up stock, he guarantee
ing as promoter to furnish subscribers to
assessable stock to like amount. rms
proposition was accepted. The terms on
which the land was acquired were pub
lished, subscriptions to the full amount
required were received, and the establish
ment of the plantation progressed. Short
ly after this the price of machinery, pipe
and almost all material entering into the
construction of a pumping plantation
nearly doubled in price; coal and labor
have also risen greatly, and unavoidable
but expensive delays in securing and in
stalling the elaborate pumping plants re-
quired, have been suffered. In addition
to this a severe financial stringency has
prevailed for over a year, making it eX-
tremely difficult for many stockholders to
meet assessments. Meanwhile the COM
pany instead of erecting its own mill, has
made a contract to grind at the Spreckels-
vile mill. All of these circumstances
were unexpected. If they had been fore
seen, they doubtless would have affected
the valuation of the land in the minds of
the assessable stock subscribers. Under
these circumstances Mr.. Baldwin has
thought that it would be fair to the as
sessable stockholders to reduce the
amount of stock paid for the land to ST.
1000 by surrendering into the treasury
stock to the amount of 100000. He has
offered to contribute the bulk of this him.
self and L. A. Thurston has agreed to
make up the difference to the round $500,
OOO This action is irrespective of the &C
ton which may be taken by any other
holders of paid up stock.
The meeting of stockholders is called
to consider this proposition, and, If ac-
cepted, to decide whether the surrendered
stock shall be held in the treasury, OF
whether the capital stock shall be reduced

Editor Advertiser:-There has been
mission to Washington last winter,
that now that the elections here are
over, think it proper to make my
first public statement concerning the
objects / sought to accomplish there,
as well as the occasion for the appoint
ment.
Shortly after the publication of At
torney General Grigg's opinion of the
invalidity of all land sales and leases
made by the Republic of Hawaii after
July Z, 1898, the date of the annexation
resolution, President Dole informed me
of the wish of himself and Cabinet that

this Government in regard to the land
matters, and to remain there during
the tendency of the Hawaiian Bill, in
order to furnish required information
concerning Hawaii. The appointment

Dole also desired me to attend as dele

| Commercial Congress in Philadelphia,
and urged me to hasten there as it was
to be convened at an early date.
| AS to Dole's appointment as Cover
nor, nothing was said to me by him

friends complained that he did not
inform them whether he wished to be
Governor or not. He gave me no init
nation of his wishes either before ]

winter / received a letter from him dis
tinctly requesting me not to urge his
appointment. / hoped he would receive
the appointment and accept it, but

WHITE LABOR
FROM The EAST
Two Hundred Workers Coming
From Massachusetts, for
Plantations

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Nov. l.
Frank Alves of New York, represent
ing George E. Baldwin, who is inter-
ton Association is in the city looking
for white laborers. He arrived here
Sunday, and if what he says is correct
he has secured quite a large party in
this city who are ready to try their
luck in the new territory of the United
States.
Mr.. Alves states that he expects to
leave New Bedford, November 2, with
a party of about 200 who have signed
contracts to work for the Sugar Plan
tation Association for three years
Most of the party are French Cana
dams and Portuguese. They will pro-
coed from here to New York, and
thence across the continent to San
Francisco, which place they leave for
Honolulu, November 10.
The Hawaiian Sugar Plantation AS
ISOLATION being DESTROYS of introducing
white labor on the Islands, has agents
in it's employ in various sections of the
United States, and all who accept the
terms of the company by signing a
three years contract have the expense
of transportation paid Mr.. Alves
while here, has sought only men and
women who are unemployed or who
profess to be without work
Able-bodied men are to be paid $2s
per month for eight months in the
year, while employed in the fields, and
81 80 per day for four months, while in
the mills. Women and children over
IA years of age are to be paid from SIC
to SIS per month. In case of extra
work the prospectus makes flattering
offers, especially as ten hours is the
I stipulated days work. 1t is also agreed
in the contracts which each individual
signs that the company shall furnish
free rent, water and fuel, and furnish
medical treatment free of expense tc
i the emigrants who are willing to take
up their abode in the Sandwich Is
lands.
| Briefly, the conditions under which
given above, and in speaking of his
work in this city, Mr.. Alves says h
has been much more successful than ht
anticipated. But those who make thi:
venture will find that they are no
making the trip for fun, for the com
pany is thus resorting to free trans
portation, etc, is determined that eacf
signer of a contract shall work for tn,
wage paid him, and according to Mr.
Alves it is work in dead earnest.
One interesting fact in connection
with this matter is that there are 90
residents of our city who are ready t,
enter into the arrangements, ant
among them, Mr.. Alves says, are sew
eral families.

Mr.. Dole would we'll be Chief Justice.
He said tell the Senator you think so,
and you will get anything you want

for 1 had no authority to represent Mr..
Dole in the matter.
AS TO THE VOTING FRANCHISE.
1t was my opinion that the property
qualification of voters for senators and
for Senators would not be adopted
by Congress, and l so informed Mr..
Justice Frear when he was leaving Ho-
nolulu to go to Washington as one of
the Commissioners.
The retention of this qualification
was recommended by the Commission
