The library of the late Senator Davis
consisted of eight thousand volumes,
and this comprises good part of his
estate. Though poor in property in
terests he was rich in knowledge of
the affairs of the world. And more
than that, his honor and integrity were
beyond question. Such man is truly
great.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-02-26

nolulu is the fear that the line may
be extended to the Asiatic coast. This
accounts for the hostility so frequently
displayed in Congress, and for the vari-
Gus paragraphs pointing out difficulties
in obtaining the consent Of the Japanese
Government, and others making plans
for the route through Alaska.
However, though the efforts against
the trans Pacific have been successful
in the past it by means argues that
they will be successful in the future.
The need of rapid communication, con-
trolled by the United States, with these
Islands, the Philippines and with Guam
will force a cable line. When none of
these places was American territory
the tactics answered, but now there
is great change, and our chances of
cable are ten times as great as they
were two years ago.

THE HOTEL STABLES.

The Hotel stables are to be burned
down, it having been finally decided
that the buildings are infected. 1t has
taken some time to reach this result,
but being reached, there is no necessity
for any further criticism of the hesita-
ton by the Board. In the interest of
those who are living in the vicinity, es-
pecially, and of the city, in general,
rat proof fence should be erected
round the property.
1t is understood that the buildings
are to be torn down first and the ma
terial burned afterwards. The rats,
during the process of destruction, will
certainly be disturbed and will natural
ly seek quieter quarters in the adjacent
premises, and a wholesale migration
of rodents is just what it is most desir-
able to prevent.
If, when the place has to be burned,
the fire men say that it is necessary
to have the fence on the street side
removed, it can be done, but the fence
protecting the cottages adjacent to the
stables should be retained. 1t may,
however, be pointed out that in other
parts of the world the fire men are
able to carry on their work while a
rat proof fence is retained round the
entire infected property.

THE CABLE.

The House Committee on the Gable
bills has decided to favor the Sherman
bill, which provides for the private
ownership of the cable as against the
Corliss bill which provided for govern
ment ownership. There are some pa
pers on the mainland who regard this
as a move on the part OF those who
are interested in opposing a cable
across the Pacific, to get the matter
put off, since the private parties will
require time to make surveys, apart
from those made by the government
In cable matters it must always be
remembered that there is strong
financial party where interest lies In
preventing cable line across the Paci-
fic, and their objection to line to Ho-

There is an Hawaiian bill before the
Senate and another Hawaiian bill be-
fore the House. Each of these take
precedence upon their respective pro-
grams, and the chances are that they
will be pushed forward in both branches
of the Legislature. When they are
passed there will have to be COM
mittee of conference at which an agree
ment between the two houses will most
probably be reached. The conference
committees reports will most likely be
accepted, and then the Hawaiian or
ganic law will be established and we
shall begin our new era. From indi-
cations it looks as if this event will
come comparatively soon. Certainly we
can allow our hopes to rise.

Though cases of plague break forth
from time to time and delay the let up
of the quarantine, the fact that they
are quickly discovered and as quickly
isolated says much in favor of getting
the better of the disease. The work of
the inspectors and . sub-inspectors is
most valuable and there should be no
let up to it. The inspecting duty is
undoubtedly trying both on those in
speeding and on those inspected, but 1t
is must vital that every sub-inspector
should see every one in his district once
a day.

Most Exclusive Climb on Earth.

The Diamond Club of London is the
most exclusive, richest and, in some
respects, the oldest club in the world.
It's members are such of the great dia-
mond dealers of London as can qualify.
Each candidate for admission is exam
ined by committee, which inquiries
infinitely into his past.
The club is primarily an eating place
and place Of business. The members
meet daily at the luncheon hour in the
dingy little cafe in Hatton Garden, oc-
cupying a private room. Although
these dealers in diamonds do not care
for dress they do care great deal for
good dinners. Their 1 o'clock repast
is famous for it's excellence. 1t is said
to be the finest in the world.
The doors of the clubhouse are
opened at 10 a. NJ and the place is de-
serted before Z p. NJ, about the time
when the West End clubmen are begin
ming their day. One of the features OF
this curious club is the displaying OF
diamonds by it's members. Often bags
full Of rare gems of exceeding size and
lustre are emptied onto the dining
room tables for inspection, and num-
5ers of them are passed around the
room and handled by as many men as
wish to look them over The owner

when Tee Cream Was New.

When ice cream was first introduced
many funny stories were told about it,
It was first offered in the national capt.
tai. according to an authority on the
subject. by Mrs. Alexander Hamilton,
who had had it in her home in New
York. She used to tell with amuse-
ment of the delight with which Presl-
dent Jackson first tasted it, and now
he promptly decided to have Ices at the
Executive mansion.
Accordingly" says the historian
guests at the next reception were
treated to the frozen mystery, and al
forded considerable fun to the lnltlat-
ed by the reluctance with which they
tasted it. Those from the rural dis
tricts especially first eyed it suspicious
ly. then melted each spoonful with
breath before consuming it. Their dis
trust was soon removed, however, and
plates were emptied with great rapid
ity.
"The man who made the ice cream
was, oddly enough, negro by the
name of Jackson, who in the early part
of the present century kept a small
confectionery store in Washington.
Cold custards, which were cooled by
setting them on a cake of ice, were
very fashionable, and Jackson, at Mrs.
Hamilton's suggestion, froze them by
placing the ingredients in tin bucket
and completely covering them with ice.
Each bucket contained quart and
was sold for ST."

The custom of smoking tobacco.
which Columbus and other European
pioneers in the invasion of America

peculiarly American interest to the
pipes which antiquarians have collect

most curious finds Of sundry tribes,
partly Of stone or wood. partly of ter

them having been found in the mounds

The shapes Of the bowls are OF all de-
scriptions: some represent birds. heads
of birds. mice and other rodents. toads,
frogs. lizards. men in recumbent. sit
ting or squatiing posture and human
hands and faces. The tubular shape
was widely in use in ancient America.

There are also stone urn shaped
