The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-03-27

The cry of the men who want to re-
turn to the Mainland before their funds
are exhausted has been heard, and DR..
Carmichael has made arrangements
whereby steerage passengers taking the
prophylactic, may obtain leave to re-
turn to places where they may hope to
obtain work. Their case was a pecu-
liarly hard one. In consequence of the
plague the lines of work which they
could engage in were shut Off and they
could neither get work nor get away.
The Star has voiced their complaint for
them, and they now are to be enabled
to seek for work elsewhere. The move
is one which is eminently a good one,
as when their money was exhausted
they must have become charge upon
the community.

The resignation of Armstrong Smith
from the principalship of his school
will remove a very devoted educator
from the profession. Mr.. Smith has
served the Board for many years. He
first had charge of the school at Wal
thence was advanced to Honokaa
where he showed such ability that he
was promoted to the charge of Kaulu-
wela, in Honolulu. From thence he
went to Fort street, and finally opened
the new school at Palama. Wherever
he has been he has won the esteem and
respect of both pupils and parents.

There will be considerable excitement
all over the world, once more, when
the Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton's new
yacht, comes over to try for the Am
erica cup. The last set of races were
watched by the world, and the coming
set will have equal interest shown in
them. Some of these days either Aus
tralia or Canada may make an effort
to win the cup. No one can say that
Sir Thomas Upton is not a true sports
man. He took his defeat philosophic-
more. He deserves to win, if anyone
ever did.

NO CATCHING AT sTRAws.

Drowning men, they say, will catch
atstraws. Naturally enough, because
they see nothing better to catch at.
1t Is the principle Of any port in
storm. All the same the straw does
not save the drowning man, nor is the
tempest-tossed mariner likely to find
a safe harbor every time he runs for
the shore. The scientifically con-
structed life preserver is better than
a straw, and to know how to ride out
a storm is better than to trust to luck
in finding port in time Of need. Just
so it is in disease and all manner of
sickness. When your life is threat
ened by disease you naturally desire
a mode CT treatment founded on alb
solute knowledge treatment that
has proved effective in other cases
like your own. This is the common
sense Of the subject and no one will
dispute it. And tits because the we'll
known effective remedy

The cruiser Calabria has been ordered
Off suddenly to China Italy has grow
ing interests in those seas, and under
the circumstances she naturally wishes
to put all the force she can on the spot.
But the destinies of Chinese commerce
lie in other hands than those of Italy.
The United States and Great Britain
are the main factors in that problem,
with Russia for very strong resolvent.

TUESDAY, MARCH %, 1900

The reason so little interest is taken
in the deliberations of the Council OF
State is that the general public does
mot believe the appropriations now be-
ing made, will be drawn upon for more
than a few weeks, and this seems to
be the opinion of the councillors them
selves

a lie, and I never knew him to break promise, and I think l am better ac- quainted with him than possibly any other American. Without doubt gross atrocities were committed and much property destroyed by the Kurds; but 1t is fact that while these acts were per petrated upon the Armenians, no American suffered the loss of hair from his head. Abdul Hamid is no more to be blamed for these crimes than William Mckinley would be if the Apache Indians should go upon the war path and slay the white settlers, as they have done in times past"
 This Is plausible, but the general opinion in this country is that it is more ridiculous for the Sultan to refuse to pay the claims, after they have been sealed down, and payment has been agreed upon, than 1t is to ask him to pay them.

FASHION NOTES.
Safe Uses for sgurres.

Though handkerchief waists have been overdone, some of the very large squares may still be put to use. Beau tiful square parasols are covered with taffeta handkerchief squares. Some round parasols have squares draped over them. Squares are also used for shoulder finish on some of the very pretty new cloaks. Here their prettiest employment has corner hanging over each shoulder, one In the back, the front one split where the cloak fastens. Some of them are used cleverly for the down dipped waist line, the upper point turned down to show yoke

fl GOOD UORD FOR THE TURK.

Many men of many minds, says the copy-book, and 1t is therefore not sur prising to read that General Lew Wal lace, who was minister to Constantino- ple under the Garfield administration, does not approve of the extreme meas ures the State department is said to be contemplating if the Sultan of Turkey doesn't pay the missionary claims. To me, says MT. Wallace, the idea of the great and powerful United States en- gazing in controversy with Turkey over a despicabie $1OO,O60 Is ridiculous. MT. Straus states that the Sultan promised to pay the claim, and the Turkish minister declares that no such promise was made. Of course, do not profess to know which one of these gen tlemen is correct. but this 1 do know
 that the present Sultan of Turkey is an honest man. l never knew him to tell

IN INTE < ESTING WISSTON.

That is an interesting mission which has been undertaken by Mayor Taggart and Editor Morse of Indianapolis. These gentlemen have gone to see MT Bryan. They have gone as representatives of
 the Indiana Democrats, and they will say to Mr Bryan that it is the unani- that the national platform should not be burdened with any reference to the confined exclusively to other and more vital issues They are bearing letters of the same import to MT. Bryan from large number of Democrats who were pronounced free silver men in 1S96 and who would be for that issue now were they not convinced that more important events have eliminated it from the is- sues this year and that it will burden rather than help the party. It is prac- tically agreed by all Democrats in h. diana that the question of free silver ought not to be forced into the cam paign.
 MT. Bryan is sturdy young Roman, and his heart is ever true to Is to 1. But perhaps he can be persuaded not to tell his love too vociferously this year. He may be enabled to see that a little judicious concealment of his grand pas- sion is eXpedient

GAMBLING IN THE SIX NATIONS | The Indians of the Six Nations will
 not play cards, for these were brought 1 to this country by the white man, and | would have evil for the Indian. They also look upon the violin as an instru- mcnt that has led white young people to harm and will not permit it's music to be heard among them.
 The gambling game played at these religious festivals is the peach-stone game. have brought hack several of them. The s1ndians lose all their stoi- cism when indulging in this game, and the scene within tho Longhouse can only be compared to morning on the Board of Trade Men and women both engage in the game. Some of the most valuable articles of wearing ap- parel and other possessions have been collected as prizes.
 Two men, one from each side of the Longhouse are appointed to call out the male players, and two women to serve a like purpose for the women A blanket is spread on the floor of the Longhouse, and in the middle is a wooden bowl containing six beach, stones. These stones. have been worn and polished until they have almost a one side. At the south edge of the blanket is vessel containing 100 beans, from which each of the callers takes seven. The players are exhort- ed to keep their tempers, as it may please the Great Master to make the losers win next time if they behave we'll
 Two players are called at a time, and each in turn shakes the bowl and strikes the bottom. This throws the peach stones up and they fall back. The winning throws are six black or six unpainted surfaces the count being five in either case, and all but one of either color counting two. A woman representing the winner takes the beans he wins by his throws, and the game goes on until the beans are gone. Each article contributed has had an- other of about equal value attached to it, which is wagered against it, and when the game is over the winner gets back his own article and also the one attached to it.
 One of the most impressive things about this game is the manner in which the opposing sides gather about and urge the plays, much as dice throwers on d asLousiana dock would do. Pointing their two forefingers at the peach stones those who are for the player say coaxingly: "O-han-dah, o-han-dah"-all black-or "Hun-je, hun-je''-all white. The opponents even more fercely shout "Scha-a-ah, scha-a-ah" and "Tek-i-ne-ta-weh, tek- i-ne-ta- weh"--two of a kind. This game may last for twenty-four hours, but the excitement never flags.-S. c. Simms in Chicago Tribune.

CHINESE CONSERVATISM.

The difficulties in the way of success for the engineer and foreign capitalist in China are very considerable. In the first place, it may be safely asserted that the authorities actually in power do not want foreigners. The state- ment one so often sees in articles on the subject that the Japanese war has opened the eyes of the Chinese and shown them that if they wish to keep up with other nations, they must adopt a more enlightened policy, is incorrect, or, at all events, misleading, because whatever truth there Is in it depends upon the fact that the statement is merely to the effect that the enlighten- ed policy is necessary to enable the country to progress on the same lines as the rest of the world, and it is mis- leading because it suggests that, in the opinion of the ruling classes, such pro- gress is a thing to be desired. No such feeling exists in the minds of the ma jority; but 1t is the members of this minority who are most likely to meet visitors to China, and who are more likely to be appointed to foreign mis- sions, and whose views, consequently, aremcst readily impressed on the Flu ropean public, and are naturally taken representative of the views of the majority.
 Nothing would please the bulk of the mandarin class better than that foreign nations should go away and leave China alone. She has done with out railways, and steam cotton mills and mines where 1000 tons of coal day are raised by steam instead of 20 tons, drgged out by coolies, and she can do without them now.
 The Chinese have, no doubt, begun to realize the fact that foreigners are determined to exploit their country, and also that they are weak success fully to resist this action, and they are, therefore, reduced to putting ob- structions in everybody's way. In do- ing this, most of them are honestly convinced that they are doing their country a service, and If they cannot keep out foreign civilization, they should at least delay its entry as long as pussible.-Cassier's Magazine,

above the walstcoat, the two side cor ners tucked back under the jacket edges to reappear and lie over the jack ct revers. Squares are used on sailor hats and when disposed carefully are stylish, though by July you likely will wish you had chosen some other less popular trimming.
 Still another use for these squares is in ties like that on the left hand dress of this picture, or in belts with sash ends, one square going about the waist, another hanging from it. A cashmere square was used in this tie and made a very tasteful accessory to gown of tan cheviot. Narrow dark red soutache outlined the scallopng of this skirt and followed the hem The bodice was laid In deep tucks, blousing slightly A more complicated gown ap- pears as companion to this in the picture. Its material was a blue pastel cloth. Folds of cloth and burnt wood'  buttons trimmed it. Blue and white figured foulard gave yoke and under skirt, black velvet strapping with sil- yer buckles finishing the former The sleeve tops matched the yoke. This is one of several permissible methods of widening ones shoulders It is better way than adding sleeve caps or epaulettes whose purpose IS evident, and that are not closely related to the general scheme Of the bodice. But the best way Of all Is tn have over the sleeve top some pretty and ingenious continuance of the ornamentation of the bodice proper. To accomplish that is not very easy order, but 1t is worth striving for. Some of the ornamental and highly fanciful boleros bring it about very prettily.

THE DUTY OF THE SENATE.

The report of the Senate committee on privileges and elections in the case of Senator Clark of Montana was sub mitted to the Senate yesterday, and 1t is as strong and definite as the earlier reports said 1t would be. It points out that the Senate should, as a duty to it. it's action in this case that seats in the United States Senate procured as Sen be retained, by the deliberate Judgment of the Senate The Senate also owes a duty to the people of Montana, who, conscious of the bad repute into which the State has fallen by reason of vast expenditures of money in connection with it's elections, manifested such public sentiment that the legislature of 1895 passed a statute which, If obeyed, would have redeemed the State from It's bad name. For the direct and gross violations of that statute and the con sequent discredit which continues to rest upon the State, Montana has right to. expect prompt and decisive remedy from the action of the Senate.
 True and righteous. And yet the general opinion seems to be that while Clark will have to stay out Quay will be let in.

HE BICYCLE As 4 CARRT4G

An English court has just dealt very thoroughly with the question. is bicy- | cle a carriage? The suit was that of Cannan vs. the Earl of Abingdon. Un-
 der an act allowing him to collect toll in the sum of twopence for "any car
 riage whatsoever" with less than four
 wheels passing over bridge across the
 Thames, the Earl believed he could tax ! bicycles as being less than four wheeled carriages. To settle their mutual rights the bicyclist made the following test: On the first occasion he rode a bicycle without any luggage or luggage carrier; on the second occasion he rode bicycle with a valise attached carrying lug tricycle. without any luggage carrier on the fourth he rode a tradesman's tricy- cle having box fitted to it's frame for carrying goods; and on the fifth occa- sion he rode tricycle. known as a "ba ath- chair tricycle. having a wicker chair fitted to its frame in which anoth- CT person was seated On each occa- sion the bicyclist paid, under protest, the twopence toll. The court held that both the bicycles and the tricycles were subject as carriages to the twopence toll When it came to defining a car riage MT. Justice Phillimore declared 1t to be "any mechanical contrivance which carries person or weights over the ground, raising the weights or talk ing the person off his feet so that the or the burden which he is bearing" even if he himself propels the contriv- ance.

One of the interesting exhibits al the Paris exposition will be that indicating the progress of the negro in Georgia. The exhibit consists of five parts. One is an electric clock in a carved frame, showing at successive intervals of ti1pe the number of acres of land owned by the negroes of Georgia since 1870. The clock was carved by an illiterate, un- skilled workman, and on the frame are bas reliefs of cotton, corn and tobacco. Thirty-one charts, done by hand in colors, ehow the growth and distribution of the negro population in Georgia and throughout the world; the age, classiti- cation and conjugal condition of the negroes of Georgia as compared with the whites, the proportion of mulattoes, the amount of property owned and the income and expenditure of negro faIni- lies. Statistics of 150 negro families in Atlanta and some 2,000 families in coun- try districts in south Georgia have been used as a basis for this compilation.
 Five maps of Atlanta, Savannah, AL bany and Mcintosh county are in the exhibit. On these maps the distribution of the negro population is given, this being indicated by different colors, and

There is young man in Boston who hoesn't quite know whether it has paid him to be good. When this young man was about to enter college his father gave him some good parental advice as to how he ought to conduct himself during his college career, and, in order to encourage him to avoid the vices that beset college undergraduates the father promised his son that if he would neither smoke nor drink during his four years at Cambridge he would make him . present of $5.000 on the day of his graduation. The young man lived up to the lofty standard set for him by his father, and along with his degree of bachelor of arts he received $5,000 in Globe bank stock, then quoted at par.
