When a Servant Girl is a Treasure

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps dedicates her
new story, The Successors of Mary the
First, the first chapters of which are in
the October Ladies Home Journal. in
these words; Loyalty in change Of for
tune, devotion in illness. fidelity to mono
tonous duty, and affection warmly tend

a household counts jealousy among the
treasures of lite. For, so sacred and so
subtle is the power of a human home that
those who have ever forfaed one family

like strangers without the gates. To the

and lovable women who have given me
happiness in giving me service / inscribe

AS To The
BIG CANAL.
Interest in the Coming
Report.
BURGLARS SEEKING It
Probability That the Commission
Will Recommend the Nicaragua
Route to Congress.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-It was re-
ported in Washington, says n Herald
special, that burglars who We're after
the forthcoming report of the Walker
isthmian canal commission had entered
the Corcoran building, in which the
commission had its Offices, and had
broken open the desk of Lieutenant
Commander stanton, secretary of the
commission.
Lieutenant Commander Stanton
said last night that when he tried to
open his desk a day or two ago he dis
covered that the lock was broken. His
impression was that it was the work
of burglars, who for some purpose We're
seeking to get advance information
about the conclusion of the report, He
sent for a locksmith, who persuaded
him that the desk had not been broken
open. but that the lock had become dis
arranged in the course of usage.
The incident created great excite
ment among the members of the COM
mission. The report of the, commission
is being very closely safeguarded and
1t is said some of the commissioners
are not yet acquainted with what the
report will contain.
The best information obtanable at
Washington is that the commission
certainly by a vote of five to four, and
possibly to six to three-will recon-
mend the Nicaraguan route. This is
based upon several differences as well
as upon statements from the commits
soners themselves.
1t is said that President Mckinley
has received sufficient information
about the report for use in his mes
sage. The message, if in line with the
rumor, will advocate the adoption of
the Nicaraguan route, the ratification
of the Hay Pauncefote treaty: the con-
struction of a canal without fortifica-
tons and the adoption of tolls
discriminating in favor of the United
States, Costa Rica and Nicaragua only
so far as coastwise vessels are con-
cerned and leaving the canal open to
all the shipping of the world.
Final estimates of the cost of the
Ncaraguan canal have not yet been
completed. The engineers are still
working on the figures.
Approximate figures the cost of the
Nicaraguan canal are believed to be
about $3.50, 100000
The commission will resume it's ses-
sion in Washington on Thursday and 1t
is expected to remain at work through
out the week.

GOV. DOLE REPORTS
ON THE ISLANDS
He Says Development of Natural
Resources Has Just
Begun.

! WASHINGTON, Nov 1S.-According
| to the annual report of eX-Presdent
Sanford b. Dole, Governor of Hawaii,
the increase of part Hawaiians tends
to keep down the number of the pure
lHawaiians. While the figures show the
race progress, the census reports as to
Surviving children are discouraging
In both the census of 1890 and that of
1896 the pure Hawaiian percentage of
survivors was the lowest of all nation
alities represented in the Islands. An
encouraging outlook for the Hawaians
exists in the fact that out of 6,S27 own
ers of real estate in 1896, 1895 were pure
Hawaiians and 722 part Hawaiians.
The facts are significant as showing
the ownership of homes by so large a
number of pure Hawaiians and the evil
dent tendency of the race to acquire
homesteads.
The eX-President reports that there
is reason to expect that annexation is
going to influence Hawaiian character
very favorably through the changed
condition effected. Their old depend
ence on their chiefs has ceased and
they are forced to rely more upon
themselves, and their footing with the
white man in the future will be equal.
The political privileges they enjoy in
common with other American citizens,
he says, will tend to educate them in
public affairs.
The total valuation of real and per-
sonal property in Hawaii subject to ad
valorem assessment in 1900 is $97, 491,-
5S4. The receipts from taxes are esti-
mated at 81 AL 65O
The commerce for Hawaii is shown
for the period between January LIST and
June a. 1900 as follows: Imports, &c.
6S3516; exports, s14,4O4, 1876; customs
revenues, $780,, 597. With the exception
of the production of sugar, rice, fire
wood and live stock and the promotion
of irrigation, the development of the
natural resources of the Hawaiian Is
lands is stated to have scarcely begun.
Recommendation are submitted for
legislation thoroughly revising the Ha-
waiian corporation laws in view of
some deficiencies and questionable
features in the same and new condi-
tions since annexation; legislation for
of various comm ssloners
for the protection of food fishes; pro-
vision for the education of children I'M
able to pass the required medical eX-
aminations; for irrigation legislation
and for a general municipal system.
The report says the present aggregate
area of the public lands Is approx
mately l,772,713 acres, valued at 80 $685.
