Easter Sunday was f~ttingly observed in
| the different churches Of Eureka. At the
Presbyterian church in the morning the
pastor spoke on The Resurrection Of
Christ" The interior Of the church was
nicely decorated with evergreens, and
there was q profusion of flowers and
ported plants arranged about the rostr UNI.
The evening service was in charge of the
Sunday School, and a really excellent
programme was rendered, consisting Of
songs, Rotations, responsive readings, and
selections by the choir. The young peo-
pie all acquitted themselves very creditably
and are deserving Of praise for the efforts
they made.
At the Catholic church Father Manion
preached an appropriate Easter sermon 10
the morning. The music, which had been
specially rehearsed for the occasion, was
excellent, and all the services were attend
ed by large congregations. Special Easter
Devotions were held in the evening. The
Easter brightness was in marked contrast
with the the sombre coloring OF Lent and
a fine display of flowers and plants beauti-
fed the altar.
At the Episcopal church there was .
fine display Of flowers and appropriate
Easter music. The children Of the Sunday
School were recipients Of beautiful Easter
cards and a goodly quantity of gayly col
ored eggs. In this connection the Sunday
School desires to return thanks to Dewey
Powell, a former member Of the school,
but now of Sacramento, for q beautiful
selection Of flowers.
All Of the churches received cut flowers
from California and a number of the
ladies kindly loaned their choicest plants
for the occasion.

MIR. FREMONT EXPLAINS.

To the Editor of the SENTINEL:
The Elko Independent Of the 18th
instant contains the following:
"In the list of Census Emu merators
for Elko county appears the name Of
Mrs. Elizabeth Stinson of Eureka.
Will Mr.. fremont tell us why this
lady is given preference over appli-
cants from this county ?"
In reply to this query l would say
that no preference has been given to
any person over Elko county appli-
cants; but that in my judgment the
object of the Census will be best at
tanned by the appointment Of Mrs.
Stinson to this district for the follow
ing reasons.
l received but mi application for
the district in question, namely,
Samuel Deaton Of Arthur, Ruby Val.
ley. who, after standing examination,
withdrew his application, owing to his
removal from the district. thus render
ing it necessary to fill the position by
the appointment Of an applicant who
was thoroughly acquainted with it.
Mrs. Stinson is a daughter of John
Phalan, an Elko county pioneer, who
resides near Sprucemount. This dis
trict, having been the lady's home,
she is thoroughly acquainted with il
and most of the districts therein, and
therefore can render better service
than it would be possible for any ap-
plicant from the town of Elko to
render in that district.
In the selection of enumerators /
have acted entirely for the the good OF
the service, and will be pleased to ex.
plain my reasons for the appointment
Of each and all.

INVITE THE PRESIDENT HERE.

Early i'm the coming spring, President
Mckinley will leave Washington for an
extended tour of the Pacific and west
ern states. During the course Of his
Itinerary he will visit San Francisco
and attend the launching of the battle
ship Ohio San Francisco is the gate
way to the more western possessions
Of the United States and it would be
a most desirable occurrence could the
President be induced to extend his trip
to the Hawaiian Islands.
Certainly an invitation should be ten
dered him Immediately and every effort
made by the people of this territory to
induce the Chief Executive to visit this
part of the New United States While
it. may not be possible to bring the
President here, it is but the duty of the
Hawaiian people TO extend their hos
pitality to the stranger who will be at
their gates. 1t will be but proper
courtesy to him as the highest official
of the nation and a graceful tribute
TO him as a man.
That such a trip would be taken with
the keenest delight is certain. The ac-
QUESTION of new territory has been so
extensive and so radical under the adj
ministration of Mr.. Mckinley, that he
must regard with special interest the
welfare of the new possessions. An
appeal to this interest would seem al
most certain of qualification. Such a
visit from the President could result
in nothing but the greatest benefit to
the territory of Hawaii as well as to
the satisfaction and information of the
distinguished visitor. The prestige
which such a visit would bring to the
islands, in addition 10 the immediate
influx of tourists, would be marvellous.
Aside from purely commercial in
terest in inducing the President to
come here, the people of the territory
can we'll be eager to have such visitor
1t would bring them more closely in
touch with the head of the nation, it
would cement more closely the union of
the Hawaiian race with American blood
and show to the natives that their
welfare and the best interests of the
islands are keenly entertained by the
Administration.
The time is ripe for extending an in
vitation to the President to visit us.
We want him. He wants to know us
Thre- months yet remain in which the
itinerary of the president is to be de-
termined. \ visit here would require
scarcely two weeks more. If the terri
turial officials and various interests
here but combine and urge Delegate
Wilcox to aid the measure, there is
very good reason for hoping that the
President will come to the Paradise
of the Pacific and learn to know it's
wonders and appreciate it's beauties

These are all the specific holdings ag-
gregating over 100000 in value, aside
from a cash item Of $t,2l3,571 other
items amounting to over 100000 and
less than $1,000, 600 are quite too numer-
Gus to mention. 1t is calculated that
the income from his personal property
averaged less than 4 per cent, or less
than $1,000, 900 annually. He carried only
$4,000 insurance on his life and for a
man in his circumstances even this was
a surprising amount.
Mr.. Vanderbilts real estate is roughly
estimated as worth 10000, 900, bringing
the total estate up to about $73,OOOO0O.
Henry Clews wrote in his book Tween
ty-eight Years in Wall Street" that
Cornelius Vanderbilt's share in the es-
LcltN VI lAlS ltlNlltls w lllldlll II. V dllOtl-
bilt, amounted to about S62 OO0, 900. the
share of William X. Vanderbilt being
the same. That was in 1885, the year
of William HIS death. Hardly two
years later Clews, the leading gossip of
the street" said that Cornelius was
understood to be worth $50 GOO, 600. That
was evidently an exaggeration, though
the scheduled list of his personally now
shows that his investments had been of
quite miscellaneous character and not
always gilt-edged. 1t is probable that
the great residue of the older VauGar-
bits estate, which was divided between
Cornelius and William X. was overes-
timated in value at the time, and that
Cornelius increased materially the value
of his inheritance during his lifetime.
But his father more than doubled the
value of the inheritance which came
from old CommodoreVanderb 1t is
a noteworthy fact that the estate under
consideration contains no government
or other public securities. William H.
Vanderbilt held, at the time of his death
some $35,OOO,0O0 in United States bonds.

The statistics Of population in France
for 1899 have but just been tabulated;
that they excite but slight attention
abroad may be due to the fact that
they reveal the same tendency in ma
tional shrinkage in people which has
been characteristic of French census
reports for 10 years. The figures for
1899 report births as SAT, 627, which is
10, 900 less than the average for the past
decade. The excess of births over
deaths was but 1884. M. Bertillon, in
an essay on these figures, says grimly
that France is in the position of man
dying under the influence of choloro-
form. Germany now has 55,0OO,OO0 in
habitants, and France but 3S000,0O0

The kidnapping of the young Cudahy
boy at Omaha and his ransom by his
father was one of the most interesting
matters of news appearing in the cur
rent American papers. There is some
thing about the kidnapping of child
which appeals to the public and every
individual of it. Probably no single
event in the nineteenth century was
more written about or came to the
knowledge of a greater proportion of
the human race than the kidnapping of
little Charlie Ross in Philadelphia, a
quarter of a century ago. knowledge
of that event penetrated to the most
isolated portions of the world. During
the Spanish American war the kidnap-
ing of a little girl in Ohio more than
divided public attention with the war
for several days, or until the child was
recovered.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. PROPERTY

The schedules of the personal estate
of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt show
that he left personal property of an APP
praised value, at the time of his death
in September of last year, of $52999, 6S6.
The present value is about 1913 600.
This vast property is made up of all
sorts of stocks and bonds-railroad to
a large extent, naturally, but with a
large mixture of bank, coal company,
street traction, hotel, club and other
shares. 1t is noted that while he was
for years the controlling power in the
New York Central railroad company, he
held at the time of his death only 10000
shares of Central stock, out of a present
total of 100000 shares. His holdings of
New York and Harlem stock were 49,
46S shares, of a present market value of

The demand for bright new pennies
for the Christmas trade taxed the re-
sources of the government. The Phila-
delphia mint had IA coming presses
working overtime to allay what was
almost a penny famine. The rate of
coinage lately has been half million
cents a day, and it is hoped that the
output can be increased to 100000. A
brisk demand for cents is reported
from the West, where formerly no coin
smaller than a nickel was in circula-
ton.

In the death of David L. Naone there
has passed away an Hawaiian of a
most excellent type. Progressive in his
ideas he showed during trying times
a sagacious RECOGNITION Of the changes
which time and the advance of the
worlds progress were bringing to his
race and his native country. In him
it was proved that the Hawaiian is
not untitled by race or heredity to take
its place in the march of events. His
race may well be proud of him.

THE TREATY AND THE CANAL.

The adoption by the Senate of the
Hay Pauncefote treaty may be con-
sidered a distinct advance in the Mica
ragua canal matter. Whether the trea-
ty as amended by the Senate shall be
ratified by Great Britain or not, it
establishes beyond dispute the fact
that America is committed irretrievably
to the construction of the canal. This
gives a momentum to the project
which cannot be stayed. If a treaty
with England is necessary for diplo-
matte or other reasons before the canal
is built, that momentum will carry the
governments of both nations on to the
ratification of the necessary treaty If
such treaty is not necessary this mo-
mentum will carry our own govern
ment on to the speedy construction of
the canal, - pA
No part of the United States is more
vitality interested in the construction of
the canal than our own territory, The
Inauguration of two lines of steam
ship between the Atlantic and the Paci-
fic within the past year is an earnest
of the need of the canal. The expan-
sion of trade on the Pacific tells its
own story of the need. Situated as we
are the canal would make of Honolulu
one of the most important ports in the
world
