People OF Prominence.

Miss Hattie Lee Johnston, of Hop
kinsvllle, Ky, is young lady who
is fast forging TO the front in the
new guard 1of Kentucky fiction
writer's. Her first novel. THE
City of Sin" has been financial
success, and was the fad of last
season at the Southern and East
ern summer resorts. She is pre-
pairing to spend next winter in
France, collecting material for
her new novel. "The Golden Age
of Virginia, shortly to be issued.
Her first novel has been trans
lated into French by NJ Bauer
neiste, and is published by
Mcguire & Co. Miss Johnston is a
niece OF Gen. Albert Sidney John
ston, and is rarely beautiful yong
woman. Last week the was visiting
Mrs. L, L. Donaldson, of Dayton,
Tenn, and was a joint guest OF
honor with his Honor, Benton Nc
Millin, Governor of Tennessee, at
reception given by Mrs. w, c.
Gardenhire, one of the wealthiest
society women of Dayton Other
guests of honor were Miss Sallie
Frazier, of Chattanooga, and Mrs.
Donaldson. A friend of Miss John
ston says of the occasion: "Fruits
and all of the delicacies of the
season were served in courses. In
the morning beautiful children
sang sacred songs. Throughout
the day the softest and the sweetest
music hoated in the rose-scented
air. Miss Frazer rendered
several classic compositions from
the masters. Among them were
List, Chopin and Moskowski.
The Governor congratulated Miss
Johnston and expressed his desire
to read her forthcoming book. The
Golden Age of Virginia. He was
quite animated IN conversation.
His language was like conserva-
tory in which were the choicest
exotics of speech, as his lips con-
dropped diamonds, pearls,
emeralds and topaz thoughts, iu
rare richness. His NOBLE features
reflected these jewels in
the sparkle and changing lines of a
prism. Mrs. Gardenhire Is a wo-
man born to the purple, and is
dark and rich hearted as a wine
red Jewel. She is widely Travelled,
and has many times visited Eng
land, where she was presented at
the court of Her Royal Majesty,
Queen Victoria, and was greatly
admired Miss Johnston is re-
lated to Mary Johnston, the au-
thoress of ITO Have and TO Hold,
but as yet has not taken to the
colonial age for her inspiration. In
the forthcoming book she will in
wade that period of the history of
America, and her friends are pre-
dieting much for her talents. Her
chief characteristics, literary, are
Imagination, romance, and the gift
Of beautiful words for the ex-
preston Of her thoughts, Her
power Of selecting beautiful, poetic
words amounts to absolute genius.

Substitution Is Suspicious.

The attempt by dealer to sell
his customer a substitute in place
of the article the buyer calls for at
once places that dealer under the
ban # suspicion. The only reason
why the buyer does not invariably
realize the suspiciousness of sub
stltuton and promptly resent it,
is probably because in many cases
the money transaction involved is
so small that it does not suggest
the motive for fraud. Suppose a
ieweler advertises a diamond at
$50 CO.. He places it in his window.
a would be buyer enters the store
and asks for this particular dia.
mond. But the jeweler says: Il
can give you that diamond if you
want IT, but here's another that 5
just as good as the one advertised. "
The buyers suspicious would he
aroused at once. He would insist
on the stone in the window aud he d
keep an eye on it to see it WASH t
changed But in the case Of i'll
/ ty.cent transaction it is dlflereDt.
The buyer often accepts the sub
stltute which IS offered as Just aa
good as widely advertised arti-
Gle, although substitution is just as
usplclous in a iiity-cent transac,
tion as in one involving fuy dol.
lars.
Look at the question from anoth
er point Of view. A sale Of stock j.
advertised There are horses with
pedigrees and records 70 be sold
Farmer Brown attends the sale
with the purpose of buying one o
theee good horses. But the seller
says to him, THAT horse you wan

got another here that is just az
good, which I'd like to sell you"

STEAMSHIP TRUST
c Combination of Transatlantic
Steamship Companies Being
RumOred at Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md, Nov s. Rumors
we're current to-day concerning a
combination oftrans-Atlantic steam
ship companies which will involve
several companies and many mil
lions of dollars. 1t was said that
the Atlantic Transport Company,
which operates lines of steamships
between New York. Philadelphia,
Baltimore and London, will be a
part of the combination Bernard
N. Baker, president of the company,
when seen to-day said:
81 have nothing to give out.
Others interested in the company
were equally reticent. but it was
learned from an apparently relia-
BILE source that negotiations are go
ing on in New York and that a rep
resentative of the Atlantic Trans
port Company is in that city look
ing alter its interests.
Color is given to the rumor by the
strength OF the Atlantic Transport
Company stock on the exchange to
day. There was an active inquiry
for it on the board and on the curb,
but the. only sale recorded IN the
early dealings was ten shares at
$50, an advance of Is points COM
pared with the last preceding sale
Since Aug. 30 the stock has risen
As points.
Details of the deal are carefully
guarded, but it is understood that
the stock holders of the Atlantic
Transport Company will receive
more than 5000 per share for their
holdings, in the event of a consum-
nation of the deal.
The Atlantic Transport Company
has in service now seventeen ves-
sells, ranging in tonnage from A.
$50 to 1920. The Minnetonka and
the Minnewaska, now building at
Belfast, Ireland, will be launched
next spring and placed in the New
York London trade. They will be
13, ,240 ton vessels and similar in
design to those now building for
the company by tie Maryland
Steel Company. Besides these YES
sells, the company is building two at
the yards of the New York Ship
building Company, at Camden, N
J.. and will shortly award contracts
for two more. The latter vessels
will probably be built at Norwich.
Conn.
The ships now in service are the
the Minneapolis, Mesaba, Manitou,
Mennominee, Marquette, Mohawk,
Michigan, America, Europe and
on the New York-Lon-
Ion route; Montana, Minnesota,
Mackinaw and Maryland on the
Baltimore and Philadelphia Lon
Ion route. The company also owns
he Maine, which is in the service
IF the British Government as a hos
2ital ship.

ATTITUDE OF RAILROADS.
Prompt Assistance Rendered by
Them at Galveston.

The popular belief that large cor
porations are relentless under all
circumstances where profits are at
stake. has received gratifying
.shock" in 50 far as the the atti-
of the railroads since the Galveston
storm is concerned. as the following
will show:
Morning Post, Rasigh, N. C
The Concorud Tribune says:
1--WE have all heard a great deal
about The corporations being soul
less. This may be true. They are
at least stern business institutions.
What We want to say is that when
a disaster of the Galveston nature
comes the people are absolutely at
the mercy of the corporations, and
in a measure look to them for relief.
Just now the railroad, express and
telegraph companies are doing no
little toward the relief of the Gal
weston sufferers, and deserve due
credit for what they are doing.
It's true they have large business
interests there, and suffer from
financial standpoint, but it is due
these companies, soul or no soul to
say they can and do do a great
good when there is suffering to be
relieved"
thus Is true and just. But Tor
the prompt generosity OF these cor
poratlons in such emergencies the
suffering would be multiplied many
fold And 1t Is not only the prompt
ness with which they respond but
the tree transportation OF supplies
'and all things necessary to aIieNi-
ate the suffering, whether provided
by governmental or individual char
ity, that deserves commendatlon.
It costs as much torun trains Tor
such occasion as it does to run sim
liar trains Tor profit. Yet there is
not a railroad company or an eN-
press or telegraph company IN the
land that would not be and has not
been prompt to render every service
that emergency could call for with
out price. When the Philadelphia
Press intimated the other day that
1T had nurses and medical supplies
and tralnload of provisions for
Galveston, these things had scarce
ly been gathered together before
the Southern had its train OF cars
and comfortable coaches at the
Quaker Cry depot and so soon as
all could be loaded and gotten on
board VAS speeding through the
South, with absolute rlght-ot-way OF
trackage, on its mission OF mercy,
1t IS due to say that either OF the
other great systems reaching into
the South would have cheertully |
performed the same service to the
extent OF It's system.

Since the clock-work Internal ma

many years ago there has occurred
nothing so horrible In the way of u
maritime catastrophe in port as that
elsewhere described. Indeed the Bre-
men affair. though II cost three hum
dred lives, lacked many of the elements
Of high tragedy that appear In the New
York holocaust. The spectacle of n
great ocean liner swept with fire and
floating close to populous wharves with
its portfolios filled with the heads of
terrified men and women, all doomed to
unspeakable pangs and quick death
and beyond that the sight of other
floating and blazing pyres and docks go
ing up in smoke. while the air shlvered
with shrieks and appeals for help, was
awful beyond description. Now that
the tragedy has occurred 1t seems
strange that 1t should have so few pre- =
edents, for those great covered docks.

danger to themselves and to the ships
that tie to them. Hereafter the insur-
ance companies will be pretty certain
to require different sort of construc-
ton. Involving fire proof walls and
doors on the sides of all covered
wharves used in the steamship busi-
ness.

A THREAT CT BLAcKMAIL.

The point made by the Advertiser in
brief paragraph on negro labor yes
terday was that the laws of the United
States, regulating labor immigration TO
these Islands, could not be interfered
with by the Territorial Legislature.
The Independent comedies that this
may be true but assumes that the
planters could be bulldozed into doing
whatever the Legislature might direct.
We quote:
We are looking for information only,
and ask Editor Smith before the threat
ened" Legislature meets whether II
would be within the power OF the said
Legislature TO tax sugar, say, with SO
a ton. a Territorial tax, as long as
undesirable laborers We're employed. or
TO raise the taxes on property to such
an extent that our local sugar barons
would wish they We're we'll domiciled in
Oaklandf
The courts afford the taxpayer re-
dress against Legislative Matchmaking
or robbery. Taxation to be lawful must
be fair; enterprises cannot be taxed
out of existence to suit bulldozlns
Legislature. es pecially II they have cor
porate rights and privileges. No planter
viii pay $40 per ton ON sugar nor Will
any property-owner submit to the
practical confiscation OF his land. In
these respects the courts will safeguard
him; and II they were not here to do 1t
the victim. collectively speaking, would
safeguard himself.
A Legislature which would undertake
to follow out the matchmaking program
marked down by the Independent ought
first to look up Bob wilcox's gas tank
and get its ground floor furnished for
emergencies.

The amusing statesmen OF the indie
pendent party now propose to set aside
the clause of the organic law requiring
that all the proceedings Of the Legis-
lature shall be carried on in English.
They regard the feat as no more diff
cult than Kaulia's plan to restore the
Queen by Legislative resolution. We
understand that Meekapu, a we'll
known native hack-driver. an aspirant
for Legislative honors has assured the
party that he can nullify the Congress
sional provision by a single turn of the
wrist. Meekapu and Kaulia will be n
slightly brace of statesmen when they
get under full Roadway and Congress
may rs well make ready to show It's

are making elaborate preparations for
the event. Two thousand Invitations
will probably be issued. Each member
of the club will receive his own card

card for guests invited by the club.
1t is expected that there will be
large attendance of representative
Californians, embracing Judges of the
Federal courts, the Supreme Bench ana

non-partisan in character. Judge Estee
has host of friends in California who

The members of the local Bow Wong
Society have no cause to feel surprised
at the arrest of relatives in China.
They knew that if their names got on
the list kept by the Chinese Consul here
those relatives would have to suffer;
and yet they did not protect their revo-
iutionary meetings from spies and even
went so far as to have their photo
graphs taken in a group. With culpa-
BILE recklessness these Bow Wongs let
the Consul have the information he
wanted and now comes the vicarious
atonement. They have only themselves
to blame, providing it is a matter of
any concern to them what becomes OF
their kindred.

The minor coins of the United states
may soon come into circulation here
through the Postofilce which agency
has succeeded in forcing them upon the
reluctant public of san Francisco. The
law requires Federal postmasters to
give exact change and they are at lib
erty to use one, two and three cent
pieces in doing so. In this connection
it Is interesting to note that the mint
has lately issued new three cent piece
with a hole through the center so as
to clearly distinguish it from the dime
which 1t otherwise resembles.
