NEW RAILWAY FOR HAWAII
WILL EXTEND FROM PAHALA TC
KAILUA.
Nearly One Hundred Miles Of Track
Touching All of the Plantations.
Millionaire Coerper Interested.

j. Coerper's great railroad project for
the Kona and Kau districts of Hawaii
now seems fairly certain of develop
ing into something more than a paper
affair. In fact there is every proba-
bility that between seventy five and
hundred miles of railroad track will
be laid and the system put in opera
tino without much delay.
An early start depends upon the in
terest a brother of Mr. Coerper may
take in the scheme. This brother is a
millionaire brewer of Chicago and ar
rived here a few days ago to look over
the lay of the land. He is now on Ha-
wall with the promoter. The Chicago
Coerper is said to have brought with
him a letter of credit for 100000 as
a starter.
Mr.. Coerper's plan is to build a rail-
way from Pahala plantation, via
Hutchinson, Kahuku, the new Castle
plantation and Kona Sugar COmpanys
estate to Kailua. Ten miles of Kona
Sugar Company's track would be alb
sorbed as also would the track of the
Castle company, giving the new con-
Germ twenty miles of road to start
with.
1t is proposed to make Kaiua the ter
minus for the present. The harbor
there will be improved to the extent
that large sailing vessels from the coast
may enter with ease to take sugar
All the sugar from Kau district, Mr.
Coerper thinks, will be shipped over
his railway line and if the two Kona
railway lines are absorbed he is sure
of everything on that side.
But the scheme does not end there. 1t
is the intention to ultimately extend
the line around to KOhala connecting
with the Hilo railway. The possibility
of this will depend largely upon the
humor of the Hilo railway people, how
ever, as it was and is their intention
to extend over the territory to be &C.
cupied by Mr.. Coerper
Gardner K. Wilder, of Hilo, is attor-
ney for the Coerper project He has
drawn preliminary papers, but these
are subject to such alteration as may
be prescribed by the Chicago capitalist
and his friends. The capitalization
may therefore be anywhere between
! 81, OOO, 900 and $5,O00,000 so far as the
present outlook is concerned.
The new railroad will traverse an
immensely rich country, territory
capable of vast development. That it
will pay seems certain. Mr.. Coerper
calculates that the road will end ship
ping from Punaluu and Honuapo.

Major Mcleod, who loaded the Elihu

San Francisco where he will superin-

Coast he will have made arrangements
for regular shipments, obviating the
necessity of other trips. AS yet there
is no prospect of an immediate ad-

TOO MUCH CLEANING.
some WheeImen Ruin Their Mounes
by Being Altogether FinlcaI I'm
Keeping Things Clean.

The rider who is neat naturally
wants his bicycle to be without spot
or blemish, but it does not pay to be
too fnical in keeping it clean. There
is such thing as overzeal In the care
of a wheel. Some riders are constant
IL taking apart and cleaning their
bearings, which is very bad. Othera
continually use strips of cloth to saw
back and forth about the bearing
cases to remove all traces Of dust
from the polished surfaces. This is
also bad Dust which accnmulates
and adheres to the oil exuding from
the cases forms an excellent protec-
tion TO the actual bearings Very
dirty, guInmed-up cases are usually
practically dust proof A daily scrub
bing forces more or less dust and grit
into the bearings and causes wear. A
bicycle should never be taken apart
needIessly. Superfnons adjustment
shortens its life. Adjustments should
be set right at the beginning of sea-
son and afterwards let alone except
for an occasional looking over to see
if everything is right. Bearings should
be properly oiled, but they rarely
need taking apart. We do not advise
any rider to go about with dirty BIZ
cycle, but so far as the life of the
machine is concerned too much anna
tenr securing is almost as bad ~
sheer neglect.-Ioiden Days.

tion, would seem more than enough
for any musician, but DIR. Bischoff
does not stop here, and, in fact, con-
siders his talents as heretofore men
toned as the smallest part of his
equipment.
Great as his success has been in
these former lines, his success as a
composer has been even more marked.
All singers of note are familiar with
some of Bischoff's beautiful songs.
DR.. Bischof has done much to eie-
vate the standard os music in the
churches of Washington, not only by
presenting the best class of music in
the services Of his own church, but
by helping to place in the church
choirs throughout the city singers of
the highest degree of proficiency.
Along this line he has instituted in
his own church what is styled ''An
Evening with the Choir" one Sunday
evening every five or six weeks be-
ing devoted to this choral service,
when the choir renders fine anthems
and sacred choruses, and solos; and
concerted numbers by his quartette
make up the programme. These sery-
ices are most popular often
being turned away from the doors.
Dr.. Bischof was born in Chicago.
He is totally blind, having lost his
night when only two years Of age.

odd Items of information for tha
Instruction of the Young
Housekeeper.


Rice starch used in laundering fine
linens, eambries and lawns is made
from pulverized rice. 1t is mixfd like
ordinary starch, and french laun-
dresses sometimes add few drops of
lavender or orris-root to scent the
dainty articles to which they apply
the starch, says the New York Post.
Succotash as served by the average
cook is merely cut corn and young
Lima beans cooked together. To get
the real favor of this truly delicious
dish the ears of corn, half a dozen
perhaps, or seven If small, to pint Of
beans, are first scored down each row
with sharp knife, then the tender
pulp or kernel is pressed out from the
ear. The cobs are then put into
quart of boiling water and cooked
hard for 90 minutes. Remove the
cobs, and in this water boil the beans
for half an hour. Now add the corn,
and cook a few minutes longer. Sea-
son with pepper, piece of butter the
size of walnut, and half a teaeup
of thick cream. Thus prepared, the
dish has all the flavor of the old
fashioned succotash, lacking the
heavy richness that comes from boil
ing with pork and stronger favored
bean, as was the formula of our grand
mothers.
IF the squares of toast on which the
chafng-dish dainty, scrambled eggs
and oysters, is served are spread light
" with anchovy paste before the mix
ture is poured over them, the flavor
of the dish will be improved. The
oysters should have the eyes removed
and be cut fine before they are stirred
in as the eggs begin to thicken. Use
the eggs in the proportion of dozen
to pint of oysters. A good finch of
paprika is desirable addition.
A French cook never beats the
whites and yo1ks of the eggs used in
an omelet separately. They are
broken together in bowl and beaten
till spoonful can be taken up. Be
fore they are beaten a tablespoonful
of water to each egg is added, and
when the mixture is ready for the
pan, dust of pepper and half tea
spoonful of salt to six eggs are light
ly stirred in.
A way in which one housekeeper
deals with summer squash is to cut it
in pieces and slip into coarse cheese
cloth bag. It is then cooked in boil
ing. salted water until fork easily
penetrates it. The bag is removed
from the water and allowed to drain.
1t is then put unopened in the colan-
der. With a potatomasher the rest
of the water is expressed from the
bag, which is then opened, any re-
naming Jumps of the squash pressed
out with a silver fork, and the yege-
table sent to the table in hot dish,
sprinkled with a little pepper and
salt and two or three bits of butter.
Boiling in bag seems to retain the
flavor of the squash as well as to keep
it moist but not watery.

Tspecial Philippine Letter. /

TTSHE town we are in is called Cs-
II vite Viejo, meaning Old Cayite,
~ and it is said by the natives to
be the oldest town In the entire Phil
ippine group, not excepting Manila or
New CaVite. 1t has a population of
about 5000 inhabitants, and is situated
on an arm of Manila bay, about 30
miles from Manila. On a clear day
the latter can be plainly seen with the
aid of field glasses.
The two things of most Importance in
this town are the old ruined church
and the house that was at one time
owned and occupied by Aguinaldo, the
rebel chieftain. The church, which is
reported to be over 800 years old, is
IN very bad condition, owing to the
bombarding of the Spanish gunboats in
1896. The picture gives a fair view of
the church and the convent in it's pres
ent state.
The convent is also in bad condition,
and cannot be used for any purpose
whatever, but the front part of the
church is still used for religious serv-
ices. Large holes can be seen inside
where cannon balls went through the
three-foot stone walls.
The church, like the rest of the Phil
ippine churches, is not supplied with
seats or benches like those in the
States" but instead has a stone floor
on which the worshipers knee1, or
squat down on their heels. The serv-
ices are somewhat similar to the Cath
olic services in the churches of the
United States, but instead of an organ
they have brass band.
The natives as a rule are very re-
fgious and say their prayers four or
five times a day, in fact every time
the church bells ring. No matter what
work they are at or how interesting
the subject they are discussing when
the bells ring they stop instantly and
say their prayers. One peculiar thing
about the honbres fmenl is that as
soon as the church services are over
