there before. Miss Palmer is from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, and Miss Foss is from
Massachusetts. The crew of the schoon-
'er are all from the Marshall Islands.
When the Queen of the Isles arrives at
the Carolines one of the first things to be
done by the missionaries will be the re-
opening Of the Ponape mission. This old
mission has been closed for the last ten
years. having been shut down by the
Spaniards in 1880. Mr.. and Mrs. Gray are
q start the mission going again and will
continue the work which was being done
when the Spaniards interfered. They are
being sent to the Carolines by the Ameri-
can Board Of the Congregational Church.
They do not know how long they will stay
In the South Seas. 1t may be for the rest
o. their lives or perhaps only for a year
or so.
Captain Hitchfeld says that the natives
OK the Carolines have been made to be-
lIeve that they can never enter heaven II
they use tobacco in any form.
This absurd doctrine has hurt the mis-
sionaries exceedingly said the Captain.
So he Catholic missionaries went there
and denied any such idea concerning to-
bScco and gave away great quantities of
the weed without charge. Unfortunately
\ tho teaching of mo tobacco has been
kept UP to this cay. but most OF the native
men use tobacco, though none of them
abuse IL.
! Though rather young Mr.. Gray has
been through the mil. and is a very lib
eral-minded man who does not believe In
the now. happily. almost burnt-out hell
fire doctrine Of future physical torture
and the making OF God a revengefuI, ma
licious being with more evil attributes
than the idols OF. the people they attempt
TO make Christians of. / tell you, he Is
ali right. The German Government will
ireosiye the missionaries with open arms.
The new Governor of Ponape, DR.. Hail, is

Though built in San Francisco. the
Queen OF the Isles flies the English flag.
While the Spanish war was going on
Captain Hitchfeld, who was in the Span
ish Islands of the South Seas. took the
queen OF the Isles to Hongkong and got
a British register for her. She was built
in 1S9S, Is of 40 tons gross register, and
is equipped with a Union gas engine
which can drive her at a seven-knot
sreed. The Queen Of the Isles has sailet
away for the Carollnes now; her stay
here was very short indeed.

Superintendent of Public Works Nc
Candless Is besieged Of late with petit
lions and applications for street extern
sions. He says the public has almost
come 10 the point of demanding that
the Government condemn property
without respect for persons or price.
Mr.. McCandless says the public
knows very little OF the difficulties at
tendant upon condemning property for
public street purposes. In nine cases
out of ten he says the owners hold out
for an amount which Is beyond all rea-
son. considering the advantages which
accrue by streets through their prop
erty. In some cases property which
was comparatively valueless
on account of its being entirely shut off
the street. is opened by the street ex-
tension system. and in many cases has
two street frontages in return, besides
a cash consideration TO the owner.
While the Government constructs the
street the property holders derive all
the advantages for which the taxpayers
OF the city pay. When the proposition
to extend Fort street was preached. the
Government replied to the petition that
II WOulu agree 10 open the street AZ the
property owners would donate the
amount Of land necessary for that pur-
pose. One of the foremost petitioners
refused to comply with the request
John +. Colburn for the Kapiolani es-
tate, said he was perfectly willing to
donate sufficient land IL the betterment
was shown TO be equal to the damage.
Thus the matter stands at present.
In the matter of the extension of
Militant street, Mr.. McCandless says
the financial difficulties encountered by
the Government are but a sample of
many others. The commission appoint
ed TO make the award OF damages al
lowed the property owners affected by
the condemnation s16.s00, and $500 addi-
tional for the removal Of a building.

work Of putting the street in shape and
putting the fronting property in trim
win cost the Government $4,000 addi-
tional. making a total OF 50, 900. This
covers the cost for the street from
Queen TO Halekawila streets. The dot
ted lines indicate what property was
condemned. Part OF the street was al
ready cut into the block from Halekau-

The Queen Of the Isles has come and

very short. without so much as please

quietly and modestly az a smuggler Of the
old days would have sneaked into some
sheltered bay TO discharge her contraband

O'Clock Saturday morning and dropped
her mud-hooks I'm the stream just off the
Oceanic dock. Shortly afterwards a Gus
tens officer discovered her and inquired
as to what she was doing In the harbor
and whence she came and when. AS the
Queen OF the Isles entered the channel
she passed the Thyra going out. The pilot
on tie steamer hailed her and asked what
she was doing at such an early hour IN

many Of her things are still as she left
them.
There is not so much regard shown
for the boys. But when the head of
house dies his vacant chair at the table
is never occupied. No one would dare
they kept his picture in a frame on
his chair until one day the glass crack
ed and the frame split from some IN
known cause. To this day they have
an idea that the old farmers spirit
came back and gave that picture
crack because he didn't like to see it
there. Next they looked for the plate
to be knocked off the table, but as
that didn't happen they take it for
granted that the farmer thinks that is
all right. Over on another farm, where
the oldest son died ten years ago, his
room is closed forever, and kept just
as he left it, with his gun, boots, clothes
and fishing rods in the corner. They
still call it Johns room, and will so con-
tinue until the farm passes into new
hands. Not long ago the sale of
farm was nearly blocked when the
owner wanted to stipulate in the deed
that a certain room was not to be occu-
pied until afte rthe death Of the seller.

Where the son or daughter dies aged q

grown daughters died within a year
of diphtheria- Their plates, In row,
are never removed, but fresh flowers
are frequently placed near them. Their
parents and brothers and sisters have
long since ceased their weeping and the

merry and happy, and they frequently
