What a Man Earns.

II is agreed that the biggest salary
ever paid was that OF George Gould
who received from his father $4,000
Tor ten years work. Some life insur-
1nce presidents are paid $780, annu-
ally, and Sir William G. Van Horne
If the Canadian Pacific railway
draws $4,000 a year. Great salaries
are usually paid to men for what W,
call brain work. But let us get from
he pinnacle of the executive, as Victo.
smith puts it, down to tne broad foun-
lation of the laborer. the man WHIT
receives the biggest wages is A. j
Jay, of Pittsburg. He rolls steel anG
ron. He rolls more in a day than any
other man in the world, and that Is
Why he receives the biggest pay. They
awe had a row in Pittsburg, and Day
wages have been cut to $4,000 a year
He used to make $40 a day at the
Diver mills, but the labor war set him
back a trifie. He began life as boy
helper in the mill, and worked his way

CURIOUS STONES AT KAILUA.
Some Ancient Remains Which are
Puzzling People.

Some very curious stones have re-
Gently been found at Kailua bay. They
are small and evenly shaped, and have
been hewn in a manner which makes
1t difficult to determine what instru-
uents were used in dressing them.
There is line of these mysterious
stones extending from the sea up TO the
shore a short distance, and all bear
the same general design, and are all
nearly OF the same size. They are hewn
on three sides, the fourth being rough
and sunk into the ground. In mo
cases the ends are also cut off so tina.
they could be placed in an even line
end to end. Their width varies from
twelve to fourteen inches.
Those who have examined them, are
at loss to say to what use they may
have been pvt. The supposition is that
they were placed in position in the tine
OF Leleo, and probably formed ter
race. or marked the lines of lanai.
They have been covered with earth,
and oDlv recently we've brought to light
by a Chinese who owns the property,
and offered by him for SAFE.
The fact that the stones were so nice
ly neWn before the iron lrnD'em nus
were introduced. forms an interesting
feature OF the discovery. One ~ the
stones was found in the sea. probably
having been dislodged from the main
row long ago and was eventually wash
ed into the ha-bor. Interested resi-
dents ~ Honolulu feel that the stones
are a study for antiuuarians. Marv neo-
nile at first believed that an ancient
heiau had been uncovered but the
etores were ~ a different character
from those usually found surrounding
the temple spaces.

curing and installing the elaborate
pumping plants required, have been
suffered. In addition to this a severe
financial stringency has prevailed for
over year, making it extremely diff
cult for many stockholders to meet as
sessments. Meanwhile the company
instead of erecting its own mill, has
made a contract to grind at the Spreck-
elsvile 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.
100000 by surrendering into the trea-
sury stock to the amount of $500. 900. He
has offered to contribute the bulk of
this himself and l.. A. Thurston has
agreed to make up the difference to the
round 100000. This action is irrespec-
tive of the action 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 surrender
ed stock shall be held in the treasury
or whether the capital stock be reduced
$500 000."

THE PROPOSED k|HEI DEAL
MIR. THURSTON'S PAPER ON THE
SUBJECT.
Tells of the Circumstances Leading
II. P. Baldwin to Make His Offer
What win be Done.

The publication in yesterdays Star
of the proposal to surrender 100000 of
the paid un stock of Kihei into
the corporations treasury, created
a sensation, as well it might. The facts
of the proposal We're stated conserYa-
lively but on good authority. The
men making the proposal did not care
to announce it until they announced II
to the stockholders. However the facts
were known more or less widely among
stock brokers.
This morning, the Advertiser, which
is owned by l.. A. Thurston, publishes
the following, which may therefore be
taken as an authoritative statement on
the subject from the men who, in effect
make and will have to carry out the
proposal.
"The Kihei plantation consists of
about 5000 acres of cane land, part
of which belonged to H. p. Baldwin in
dividually, 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
