anese minister to Russia, Mr.. J. Komura,

discussion of the advisability of having
the negotiations conducted by officials
who were not in China at the time of
the trouble.

at the foreign office. 1t it understood
the interview took place as the result of
instructions cabled from Washington,

regarding the conditions for peace, espe-
cially the penalties to- be exacted ard
the indemnity to be secured 1t is also

CAPTAIN MEHRTEN DEAD.
Well-Known Honolulan Passes Away
After a Long Illness.

Captain John A. Mehrten, for many
years senior captain of the police de-
partment and one of the best known
figures about Honolulu, died on Satur-
day morning of hemorrhage of the
lungs. Captain Mehrten had been i'll
for some time, but his death came rath-
er unexpectedly for he had been getting
better seemingly till the crisis came.
Attorney Charles Creighton had sat
up with the captain the night before his
death and had left only few hours be-
fore he passed away, the captain then
being much improved, apparently, and
in good spirits. A short time after
wards he fell into a deep sleep from
which he never awoke.
Captain Mehrten came to the ISL
ands from California about twenty
three years ago. He was on the police
force at the time of the revolution of
1893 and was prominent figure at that
period. He was one of the founders of
the Coyne- Mehrten Furniture Com
pany. He was universally popular. OF
late he had been living in the lane OPP
posite the Chinese church on Emma
street. He leaves a wife and several
children.
The funeral took place yesterday and
was under the auspices of Mystic
Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of which
/ Captain Mehrten was prominent
member.

For White Labor.

Every paper and every planter on the
island should join in the movement
suggested by the Advertiser, to try to
secure white labor for the sugar plan
tations. A successful effort to do this
would solve several knotty questions,
and would keep the money which is
now shipped monthly to Japan and
China, in the Islands. 1t will eventually
become absolute necessity to employ
white labor on the plantations, and the
sooner it is inaugurated, the better 1t
will be for all interested.-Maui News.

Tine oldest and most experienced
Chri stians needs to keep close watch
over his thoughts, bis words, his &C.
tions, his heart, and the company he
keeps. Recently we heard thought
full Christians man confess to an uttel
loss of respect for q certain minister ol
the gospel and doctor of divinity, be-
cause the speaker had been so unfortu-
nate as to be present in little circle ol
friends, whom his clerical friend had
undertaken to entertain by relating an
anecdote. The story might have been
listened to If 1t had come from another
source; but coming from one whose
business was to preach upon the text,
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God," 1t suggested too wide q
difference between preaching and prac'

A Matter Of Taste.

If women only knew it, they waste
a great deal of strength by undue ex-
penditure of emotion on small occa-
sions. Part of the training of our
young girls should be along lines of
self-repression, in the way of the quiet
manner, the restrained speech, the
tranquil expression Of face and the
resposeful carriage of the body. A
young husband, accustomed to the
calm gentleness of a mother who might
easily have been mistaken for friend,
so silent and dignified was her forti-
tude in the presence of disasters, so
equal was she to every emergency, was
shocked and alarmed, not long ago, to
find his idolized wife almost thrown
into convulsions by household
catastrophe of some sort-something
not more dreadful than the breaking
of cherished bit of china. The girl
wife came of a family whose custom it
was to express themselves volubly,
and TO fly into frantic states of mind
when there was apparently little rea-
son for!yehemence.
Apart from the lack of good taste
here displayed, women often wear
themselves out by too lavish display
of fssling. One may feel acutely with
out tearing passion to tatters, and it
would besWise for mothers to inculate
on growing children wholesome self
restraint. ls!>.
