IN THE
HALL OF STATE
Gov. Dole, officials, and Their
Ladies Shake Hands With
Hundreds of Callers.

With the band OF st. Louis College
out, the inaugural reception began in
the great hall of the Executive building
Immediately after the exercises on the
steps. For an hour or more 1t continu
ed, and during that period Governor
Dole met and shook hands with several
thousand of the citizens of the new
Territory of Hawaii.
Even in the Did uays when the iauieS
and gentlemen of the Kalakaua merry
time used to hold their levees in the fine
old room it could scarcely have pre-
scented Drawer show. A bank of PAINS
and ferns stood in the center of the
room, surmounted by jardiniere over
flowing with red and white carnations,
from whose midst rose two small silk
flags, Hawaiian and American. waving
In friendly union. All the chandeliers
were wreathed with ivy and wound
about with red, white and blue ribbons.
The big cheval glasses at the sides of
the room were draped with graceful
loops of ivy. The dais at the mauka
end of the room was hidden by q forest
of palms, lifting their heads to the
canopy and giving but glimpse of the
empty throne behind.
Those Who Received.
In front of the dais the receiving
party took their stand. They were:
Governor and Mrs. Dole, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry E. Cooper, Judge and Mrs. Wal
ter f. Frear, Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Halves
and dr. and Mrs. A. t. Atkinson. Col.
Soper, Col Curtis Iaukea and Capt
Pratt of the Governors staff had sta
toned armed soldier boys at all of the
doors, and soon they were flung open
and the people began to flock in in
streams. Picturesque the throng look
ed and cosmopolitan. There were Off
GERS of the army and navy in full dress,
Respondent with gold lace and orders
and braid, Chinese in the flowing robes
Of their country. European consuls in
black frock coats and silk hats, and
civilians by the hundred in white ducks
and Panama hats. The costumes Of the
ladies, bright colored summer stuffs.

Attitude of Hawaiians.

To Hawaiians this occurrence was es-
pecially painful and bewildering Accus-
toned to the wise and successful rule of
the Kamehamehas and TO Hereditary
sentiment of loyalty toward the ruling
chiefs, but few were able to weigh thu,
causes that led to the disintegration of
the royal prerogative in 1893; yet in spite
of the most disturbing nature of this
hostile attitude, nor refuse their conf
dence to those who succeeded to the
sovereign authority. although they have
to a considerable extent held aloof from
participation in public affairs. Many
among them have been irreconcilably
hostile to the new movement, while 9TH
erS have been its SteadfaSt supporters.
but the mass have remained In q state
Of suspense in political matters.
The solution that has come is political
union with great and most friendly ma
tion, In which relation native Hawaians
are guaranteed full civil rights as, citi-
zcns of Hawaii and also as citizens of
the United States. May they never for
get how America has trusted them
This generous treatment of the Hawaii
ans by Congress calls for no less consid-
Grafton from their white fellow-citizans
in these Islands. They We're the first set
iers In Hawaii-pioneera of us all. With
the most limited resources and without
metals, they worked out an elaborate and
splendid feudalism. developed agriculture
hydraulic engineering and the manufac-
ture of beautiful and useful fabrics They
welcomed the white man and adopted his
civilization both to their advantage and
injury. May fellowship between the two
races be honorable and helpful and sin
cere.

Debt to the Past.
Hawaii owes its remarkable progress
in civilization largely 10 the wise states
manship of Kamehameha III and other
high chiefs in the early part of his reign
These men and women carefully weighed
the cOunSelS of their new advisers from
across the sea, and selected the best as
a basis of action. A few months OF
peaceful revolution sufficed for an ad-
vance in civil administration. which has,
in analogous cases. required years of dew
guaranteed; the absolute authority of the
sovereign was voluntarily surrendered
for constitutional limitations; the vast
landed interests OF king and chiefs-the
rich prizes of the victories of kamehame-
ha the First-were divided and adjusted
in conformity with the new recognition
of the rights OF the common people, and
the creation of corporate government.
II Is not easy for US at this time to give
due weight TO this organizing work of
these chiefs and their foreign advisers.
Had the former been less public-spirited.
or had the latter been less sincere, in all
probability the history of many another
tragic conflict between the forces OF civil
lization and barberism would have been
repeated here.
The influence of this peaceful reform
In the civil system has been to this day

between the Hawaiian and the white
credit the comparatively peaceful settle
ment of the disturbed condition of af
fairs incident to the dissolution of the

the police moved back the people in

Taking the Oath.

AT the conclusion of the reading of
the commission, Chief Justice Frear
faced Mr.. Dole and read the following
oath TO support the Constitution:

raised as the oath was read, and then
signed his name to the document One
could hear the rustling OF the wind IN
the palm trees as the grave words fell
from the Chief Justices lips, SO still
was the crowd.
The Inaugural Speech.
President Dole then received from his
private secretary, A. T. Halves, a port
folio. from which he took the manu-
script Of his inaugural speech. He read
II slowly and with emphasis on the
principal sentences. 1t was as follows:
Fellow Citizens: In accepting the pO-
stion of Governor of the Territory of
Hawaii at the request OF the President

A Pair of Great States.

One of them has 100000, the other
100000 acres within its boundaries;
either the Mississippi or the Missouri
river flows through large part of one
or the other of them; one state con
tains 10000 lakes-the finest of their
kind, and this lake region is regular
park land, where the best of land and
timber are found; the other state has a
wonderful valley-the Red River-that
is the greatest wheat producing valley
in the world. These states are Mime
sofa and North Dakota.
For general and mixed farming,
small fruits, etc, Minnesota cannot be
beat. For wheat, flax and other
grains, North Dakota is unsurpassed.
TO the surprise of many, corn is easily
raised in either state. One county in
North Dakota raised more than 200, 900
bushels of corn, yet this is the great
wheat growing state of the union.
The Indians have raised corn there for
hundred years.

The connection between the aurora,
sun spots and magnetic disturbances
has never been explained, but many
observations have shown that 1t def
initely exists. The outbreak of a cy-
clonic storm on the sun with the for
nation of spots is Immediately regis
tered in every magnetic observatory
on the earth. Sometimes the disturb
ance of terrestrial conditions is very
marked.
For example, ON Feb. 10, 1892, a
great spot, accompanied by enormous
cyclonic disturbances, burst forth on
the suns surface. That night a mag
nificent aurora was visible all over the
northern half of the United States and
in many parts of Europe. Telegraph
ing was carried on between New York
and Albany without batteries, so strong
were the earth currents. The tele-
graph system Of Sweden was COM
pletely paralyzed, and in Russia much
difficulty was experienced with the tel
egraph lines. At the Kew observatory
In England the magnetic needle swung
two degrees out of its normal position.
All this has furnished physicists and
astronomers a fruitful field for study,
and vast mass Of observations has
been accumulated, but so far no salts

bond of sympathy between solar and
terrestrial influences has been forth

o'Connen and the Tipperary Boys

At Tipperary, brave Tipperary, they
wanted to take the horses from O'Con-
nells carriage and draw him them
selves upon his way. '"This will never
do" he said to his daughter-in-law.
''Their intentions are excellent, but
they'll get so excited that Wen find
ourselves in the ditch presently"
Bursting open the carriage door, In a
moment he was out among these gi-
gantic Tipperary men, just as big as
any one of them. "Now, boys, be rea-
sonable," he said. leave the horses
under the carriage"
"But, shure, we'd rather pull you
along ourselves, sir" was the reply as
the preparations for so doing went gal
lantly forward.
"All right; on your own heads be it!'
cried O'Connell good humoredly, and,
throwing off his coat, he set to with
pugilistic intent, boxing them right
and left until he got them to desist.
Their amusement and delight knew no
bounds, and when, on regaining the
carriage, he doubled up his hand and
shook it at them, with beaming smile
and a twinkling eye, the air was rent
with enthusiastic shouting, and he
drove off oven a greater hero than
when he had come.-Donahoe's Maya
