The Afternoon Meeting.

AT the afternoon session of the Board
the difficulty arose as to who should
accompany President Wood to Hi'o A
medical man, familiar with the plague,
its treatment, and the method of estab-
fishing quarantines was necessary in
order to instruct the medical profession
of Hilo on all matters pertaining to
plague:
Minister Cooper felt that Honolulu
needed the constant services of Pres
iGent Wood and a Trip to Hilo would
compel the latter to remain there al
most a week. The Presid mt, however,
wss willing to make the trip, stating
that few hours conversation with the
physicians would be worth more than
volumes of litera turs upon the subject.
1t WAS suggested that Dr. Garyin be
Wicked UP at Kahulni on the way to

fession at Kahului and vicinity was not
large in numbers. and he felt certain

THE CHINESE MERCHANT.

sheridan P. Read, formerly United states Consul at Tien Tsin, writing in the October Century of "Chinese as Business Men" declares that the mer- chant will prove q powerful fac tor Tn the restoration of order in the Middle Kingdom.
 A reactionary movement, he says against the present disturbances will originate. not with the official. not with the Hterati; but it will spring from the Will of the common coolie, and the staid, sensible, clear-eyed meroharf. both of whose interests, together With those of the native producer are ey- anywhere suffering. This is the saving feature of the whole situation.
 Deprivation will also be experienced by consumers of cotton goods. kero- sene oil. cotton goods, flour, timber, and many other commodities from the outer world. Clocks, watches and needles, for example, are now regard ed by the Chinese as essentials. The whole of this trade is now paralyzed. and will net be resumed until there are sure signs of order, and the contfnu- ance of order.
 The millions of Chinese who have pCGH hllulilS SIeaQy employment in carrying on the vast machinery of trade at the twenty-eight treaty ports of China, whose hands have erected the magnificent business hongs and public buildings at these large empo- riums of trade, and whose backs have borne, literally, the vast cargoes of two hemispheres, will finally resolve them selves into an assertive power for the continuance of the conditions upon inn proved lines.
 The merchants throughout China, in state of quiesoence at the beginning of these troubles, are already bringing pressure to bear upon their officials in the unaffected parts of China to pre- serve the present status quo of order.
 The writer predicts that the disturb ing elements, backed up by corrupt of ficialdom. would, even without foreign intervention, yield ultimat tely to the pressure brought to bear by the Chi nese merchant class with it's following.

gold standard discourages enter prise and paralyzes industry.-From
 MT. Bryan's Madison HOW INDUS Square Garden speech,
 TRY WAS August F, 1896.
 PARALYZED. The most accurate ba-
 rometer of business con ditions which is accessible in other than census years is the clearing house re- turns. These indicate as correctly as is possible the volume of business done in any particular section of the country and in the whole country. MT. Bryan said that the "gold standard discour- ages enterprise and paralyzes busi- ness" But does it? Just look at these figures:
 In 1896, the year of the Bryan McKin- ley presidential contest, the clearances in all the clearing houses in the United States aggregated $51, ,935, ,651, ,733. The first year of McKinley.s administration -1S97-they were S54, ,179 545, ,O3O: the next year they ju1ped to 65,924, ,S20, ,769, and last year they reached the prodig ious total of sSS, 1908, ,661, ,776, an increase in three years of s37,OOO, ,OOO, 900. To put it another way, 75 per cent more busi- ness was transacted in 1899 than in 1S96 or in 1895, and double the volume done in 1894.
 Another index of how business was paralyzed" is found in the traffic of railroads. In 1896 these transportation companies carried 773S6S,716 tons of freight. In 1898 they carried 912,973,S5S tons. (These figures are the latest ob- tainable). Not only did the traffic in crease tremendously, but the average rate for transportation dropped from S2 cents per 100 tons per mile to 76 cents, within the two years mentioned.

He states that he will cover the neT purchase with a substantial brick and occupy the corner for his own business pursuits. The work will be commenced at once all along both streets. Taken in all, these latest deals in real estate transfers carry for this city great weight, as the two most desirable cor ners of the city dose two of its big gest gaps. In snort, it indicates the way the wind blows. With new Mon tezuma street a solid block, the new Burke hotel already "looming' up in majestic form, the Wilson corner filled Tn, the Richards building at work on, the Bashford- -Burmister's immense structure, and adjoining buildings on Gurley, the handsome Bank of Arizona building leaping upward, and others building and built. the future of new Prescott is only exceeded by that so often and so long ago proclaimed, viz, capital and confidence are only necessary to make Prescott the queen city of the southwest Both are on hand tcday.-JournaI-M Miner.

ANOTHER ROCKEFELLER.

Percy Avery Rockefeller, second son William Rockefeller, the Standard oil magnate. is to enter business life soon in the greatest of trusts, the Standard oil company.
 Young Rockefeller, who was grauu- ated from Yale university last spring. Is now in the Adirondacks at his fath- CTS camp, where Miss Isabel Stiilman, his fance, and her brother-in-law and sister. MT. and Mrs. William Rockefel- Ter. are visiting. Percy Rockefeller ana his sister Ethel will come to their city home at the close of this month, when the other members of the family Will eo to Redwood hall, Tarrytown. Miss Ethel will resume her studies as her brother enters his business career.
 Young Rockefeller will begin at the foot of the ladder in the tremendous b,1siness of the Standard Oil company Mir. Rockefeller has simple doctrine that he has instilled into his boys-tnat the possession of wealth should not be the creator of laziness, should rather spur latent energies.

character of our national credit in the recent award of an English loan of 10000, 600 pounds sterling. More than half of these securities were awarded to American subscribers.
 This is a revolutionary departure in the financial attitude of the United States, and places us in the forefront Of the credit nations of the world. The bonds of the United States yield only from two and one-half per cent to the holders, while the English bonds So largely taken by United States bidders, yield over three and one-half per cent

 BECAME us the double standard, CREDITOR. and then we will stand
 as the mistress of the worlds commerce.-From a speech de- livered in Minneapolis by MT. Bryan, October 12, 1896.
 The United States is now the greatest creditor nation on earth, and has be- come so since President Mckinley was inaugurated. From March l. 1897, to March 4, 19O0-that is, in three years, the excess of American exports over imports represented a value of $1, ,4S3, 573,049. In other words, that was the balance on the credit side of Uncle SaGn's ledger during the first three years of the present administration. From 179O to March 1, 1S97-1O7 years the excess of exports was only s3S3,- o2S,4 497.
 Thus in three years the United States under the administration of President Mckinley exported four times as much as during the entire period preceding 1t from the foundation of the republic. The United States is capturing the markets of the world. Europe, Asia anG Africa are buying American manufac- lures and farm products in constantly increasing quantities. They are send Ing over their gold in the settlement If trade balances, and then borrowing it. During the fiscal year of 1900 alone the excess of American merchandise sold abroad over the amount purchased there represented a value of s545, ,O00,O O00 The Philadelphia Times, a democratic newspaper. recently printed the follow ing under the caption, Ours is now the best credit in the world:

CITY PAWN SHOPS IN GERMANY.

The consular report of Sept. 21 shows in a striking manner the advantage of city pawnshops in Germany and indi- cates the present prosperity of the in habitants by the decrease in the mum Der and amount of recent loans. From 1892 to 1899 this decrease has been con tinuous, and amounts to fully 25 per cent. In 1892 there were 525 loans to every 1000 inhabitants-in 1899 only 391
 The report of the City Pawnshop and Savings associations board ascribes this to the favorable condition of the business market, the demand for labor and the increase in wages. When ar ticles pawned are not redeemed they are sold at auction, and the balance re- 'ceived over the amount loaned, an1 interest. is returned to the borrower. The working capital is about $25O,000, and the operations are conducted at small profit. The American consul recommends this method of relief to city officials, and suggests that it be made unlawful for private individuals and companies of any kind to loan money on personal chattels.

PREsCoTTs. GREAT GAIN.

\ transaction involving an outlay of nearly a quarter of a million of dollars in PreseoUt, and the beautifying of the business portion of the city inn measura6ly, was the transfer by r. NJ. Murphy of the Wooster corner, 5OXI5 feet, to the Prescott National bank, on Saturday. The sale of this desirable tract of ground ana it's rehabilitation" by an edifice for business purposes, is hailed with especial delight by the en- tire community, and particularly so is l it favorably regarded by people that this financial house is the recipient of many kind and deserving expressions in securing at last a permanent and convenient home The new building which will adorn the corner will be two stories in height, of the very latest in architectural design, while in mater ial the red sandstone and pressed brick will be used. The work of erecting tfss new block will be undertaken al once and pushed to completion as rap idly as men and money can accomplish it.
 In disposing of this corner MT Mur- phy has by no means taken the bit out of his mouth in g far as his fidelity and regard fer the town or its inter- ests go. He will. as usual, and with his characteristic energy, keep in the procession with his old tfme-lock step, and has given orders for the adjoining ground of tifty-foot front on Cortez street, where the Bellevue is located, to be cleared away and q two-story brick and sandstone building will be built at once On Gurley street. for distance of seventy-fivc feet, MT. Mur- phT states that the "shacks" along that thoroughfare will be razed, and a tWO-stOry brick also erected. The plans for the gigantic business under taking have for some time been sub mitted, and the realization of the ear Tier plans is Indeed gratifying and again and again is a pretty tribute to the present and future of our city and county and that, too, by men who are ever Jealous to the advancement of the same. With this new block, 75xl5O feet, ornamented as outlined. and with the other business centers erected al- ready under headway in that vicinity, Prescott will have one of the prettiest and most imposing avenues oe trade and travel of any cfsy in the west.
 Another transaction of Saturday that carries with it especial significance in the commercial rating of Prescott is he purchase by J. W. Wilson of the old Kelly & stephens corner of l2o fett square. Mr. Wilson is tried ana true townsmIn and so firmly has he been linked to Prescott, and is now, for that matter. that he has concluded to FIive down and deep the last stake and go into camp in Prescott for good.

THEODORE ROosEvELTs WIFE.

It is high time some of our women should learn that a woman may be re- spected and loved for the things she does not do, as often as for the things she does do. Hundreds of thousands of men and women respect Mrs. Theo- dore Roosevelt today because she has chosen to keep her personality in the background, and refused to stand in the glare of publicity. She has no place there and she knows l.. By her attitude she has won warm place in the affections of American women and in the respect of American men. Yet she might shine, instead of keeping in retirement, if she so cnOSe, as every
 one who knows her will at once con- cede. She has simply chosen to be wife. a mother. and a woman, and not a publicist. She has elected to give the benefit of her talents and gifts to her husband. her children and her friends rather than to society in its promiscuous sense. She has her work to do in the world, but she does not believe that work to be of a public ma ture. She is content to leave that to her husband. She remains in her home and one need only hear Theodore Roosevelt speak of that home to dis
 cern at once how strong upon him has been the influence which has radiated therefrom.-Ladies' Home Journal.
