RECEPTION TO CHoATR.
Tho Am bassedor and Carnegie Were
the Principal Speak

NEW YORK, Nov. 1G.-Ambassador
Choate was the guest of the Lotus Club
tonight at a dinner and reception given
in his honor The keynote of the
speeches was the friendliness existing
between England and America. and the
desirabillty of it's continuance. Mr..
Choate expressed it in saying that
whatever differences came up between
the two countries would be harmoni-
ously, honorabIy and ami ably adjusted.
He said:
after all that I have seen in other
countries, it seems to me absolutely
clear that the cardinal principle upon
which American institutions rest-the
absolute political equality of all citi-
zens, with universal sufrage-is the
secret of American success. Introduced
by the comprehensive system OF educa-
ton, which enables every citizen to pur-
sue his calling and exercise the fran
chises. it puts the country on that plane
of success which it has reached. 1t
passes my comprehension how any man
can go abroad and not return a warmer
lover of the Institutions of his native
land"
Andrew Carnegie followed Mr.. Choate.
and referred to the way he came to be
quoted as saying New York was lone Of
the best-governed cities in the world
remark that was brought up in the
recent municipal campaign. A gentle
man reproached him for giving so much
money to so foul a city S New York
Mr.. Carnegie rejoined:
Look at your London, buying its wa
ter from companies whose shares Were
originally Ell. and now are g, 100.
Look how New York prepares for the
future in the matter of parks. 1t takes
a head to do that. I don't care what
party is in power; New York's progress
Is not to be impeded.'

THE NATIONAL BIRD.

The turkey. not the eagle. Is the true
American bird. Our country has no
monopoly OF eagles and after all the
eagle is not a creditable member OF the
bird family. He eats carriOn and mice;
he is far from brave and shuns his
enemies by roosting and nesting in the
solitudes of the higher mountains a
hawk will chase him in confusion 70
his uppermost eyrie. His chief useful
ness TO the world is that of a scaven-
ger and he delights in preying upon the
weak and helpless. The eagle cannot
be eaten, cannot be domesticated and
a filthy In his habits. Nor is he an
American. Any old country has It's
eagle.
But the turkey is a born American
The Roman feasts knew him not. There
were no turkey sandwiches at the
Grecian games. BelshazZar never heard
about the noble fowl and there were
no turkey giblets in his gravy at the
famous feast. Alexander conquered
several worlds but never saw turkey.
Caesar, who was all the time meeting
birds OF omen never flushed the strut
ting lord of the barnyard. omen OF the
autumnal sacrifices. Not until Column
bus returned from America with some
wild turkeys in q coop did the GALL
naceous dainty appear on an Old World
table. It came, was seen and 1t con-
quered. and now turkey is known wher-
ever men sit down TO feast.
For the purely American service OF
THANKSGIVING day there could be no
better fowl. Now that the buffalo is
extinct he is almost the only indigenous
food we can put at the head Of the
table. And where Is the sorry soul
who challenges his right to be there
Mark him where he sits! The chances
are that he has been brought up on
the cookery of France wherein chicken
covered with asbestos and lamb
tongue soaked In umbrella juice are
listed as gastronomic dainties.

this city for a building which will &C
conuodate the various Federal offices
have been impressed upon the members
of Congress who have visited the ISL
ands. Congressman Mercer, who was
here last week, is the chairman Of the
House Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds and he was greatly i'm
messed with the necessity for a build
ms, for the use of the United States
courts. postoffice and other branches of
the national administration. In this
line HiIo is not forgotten. as custom
house. there may be authorized as well.
OF great Importance is another step
toward the caring for the great future
which is before the islands, that OF pro-
vidfne for a survey of the harbors of
the Territory. There VIII be no har-
bor improvements until there has been
n survey. This VIII be asked by all
those Interested and it is safe to pre-
sumo that an appropriation VIII be Civ
en- in the Rivers and Harbors bill. 1t
will be 9 long step for there is work
to be done and once an engineers re-
port approves a project it is usually
carried through.
The matters of labor legislation. of
appropriations for Agriculture, For
estry, Fish Commission and statisti-
cal investigation, of the payment OF
fire claims. the designation of senatorial
terms. conversion of Hawaiian silver
and a number of other questions, will
come up and be given serious consid-
Grafton. Altogether there will be enough
to keep Hawaiis representatives very
busy. and that too upon questions
which are of vital Importance.

INTER.lsLAND CABLE VIEWS.

The idea of having the Mackay cable
go through the Hawaiian group instead
OF around 1t. touching at but one point
finds much favor in this community
People concede that it would settle the
matter of inter-island communication,
giving a faithful. dependable and I'M
interrupted service. Each outlying
island. beside getting into touch with
the Territorial capital would have a
Foreign connection and Hawaii as q
whole would come into contact with the
world about IL.
No great amount OF cable would be
needed to connect the archipelago. The
deep-sea line would merely cross the
channels. between the islands. meeting
ashore the land telegraph. Even If the
cable went the whole way the mileage
would count for very little in the
schedule OF expenses
without In any manner wishing harm
TO the wireless telegraph. many public
men In Honolulu think when the chance
comes to install a perfect system 1t
should be taken UP. Wireless telegraphy
"a not yet reduced to a dependable sys-
tenn: but the cable has proved its utility
FOR over thirty years

HAWAIIAN LEGISLATION.

OF Hawaiian legislation there will be
a plenty during the year, If Congress
may be induced to consider all the
matters which are pressing for atten-
ton. There will be such a press of
work upon the leading committees that
there may be delays in some of the
more important matters, but the inter
est of so many members has been en-
listed in behalf of some of the questions
that It Is believed the outlook Is excel
lent for valuable legislation.
During the visit of Secretary Cooper
to the Capital there were frequent con-
ferences held between that official and
the various heads of departments.
From the fact that in the report of the
Commissioner of the General Land
office there is no recommendation for
action as concerns our lands, other than
that a fund be created for an eXamina-
ton of all lands in the insular posses
sIons, 1t is argued that there viii be no
general land laws for the Territory
passed at this time. This is reinforced
by the fact that during the last session
an attempt was made to provide for the
examination by a committee of sena-
tors, which failed. and 1t is hardly pos
sible that there Will be any action taken
at this session without further informa-
ton.
There will be a hard fight made how
ever to secure action in relation to the
irrigation problem. The interests which
are involved in the securing Of the use
of the public domain for the passage of
the canals for the conveyance Of irriga-
ton waters. will be at the capital In
force and they will aim to secure action
by Congress which Will be in the same
line as that which now affects the
mainland Territories. with some adapt
ations to local conditions.
There are many recommendation in
the report OF Acting Governor Cooper
which may reach law at this term. Eff
forts are being made by some OF the
largest interests to have the lighthouse
system of the islands taken over and
placed under the control Of the Twelfth
Light House district. Should this be
done in all probability there will be
several new lights authorized.
The matter of public buildings and
grounds will not be overlooked, and as
there has been no general public build
ing bill for some years the state Of
the national treasury leads TO the be-
lief that such a measure will stand an
excellent chance of being enacted into

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS emulsion.
1t is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro-
duces the pound; it seems to
start the digestive machinery
going properly, SO that the
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinary food, which
he could not do before, and
that is the way the gain is made
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you
have not got it you can get it
by taking SCOTS Emulsion.
You will find it just as use,
full in summer as in winter, and
if you are thriving upon it don't
stop because the weather is
warm.
If you have not tried it, send for free sanPi,
Is agreeable taste will surprise you.

There Is a brisker air about men and
things since the trolley cars started.
Business men who used to come down
In the dilatory trans partook of the
lazy spirit of the thing and merely
sauntered to their offices or stores.
Now, when they are whizZed to town
on the Rapid Transit line, they keep
up the gait and get to their posts in a
hurry. 1t Is a variation of the old
phenomenon of the slow man from the
country going to town and taking
walk on Broadway Before he knows it
he is walking as fast as anybody else.
Motion inspires motion and that Is
where the trolley does good work.

The Disappointed.

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwellS on the heights of fame;
l sing for the disappointed,
For those who missed their aim.
sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal.
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknoWn;
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers,
WHO share loYe'S tender pain.
| sing for the ono whose passion
Is given all in vain,
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way.
sing with heart Ger flowing;
This minor strain today.
And l know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
a prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that was wasted here.

uncle, Mr.. II. Wolverton, Mr.. Steward
McGinty, aged % years. He departed
this life August 8, 1901. The deceased
came by his death from internal in
juries received from falling from a
water wagon, while hauling water for
a threshing engine, the seat of the
wagon having become loose he was
thrown violently to the ground and
lived only about twenty-fonr hours
after the accident. Mr.. McGinty's
home was in Phillips county, Kansas,
but he had come to this county to
work through harvest and threShing.
His father and mother who were I'M
able to arrive until after he was laid
away, keenly feel their great loss,
and they have the sympathy Of the
people of the community. The funer-
al was conducted by the writer from
the Wesleyan Methodist church. We
are reminded by this, of the uncer-
tainty of this temporal life, and the
necessity of being therefore ready"

Railroad item in the Stockton Jour-
nal: Last Friday the train had a lit
tie miShap when it reached Stockton.
1t is the custom of the train crew to
turn the train on the Y and back in,
so they undertook to do the same
thing that evening, but the train was
somewhat longer than usual and while
the engineer was watching for the
signaIfrom the switchman that the
last car was past the switch the en-
CINE ran off the track in front. There
were several passengers that evening
and they had to walk up from tho
lower end of the Y. With tho assist
ance of the freight engine the train
was finally brought ia and the paSsen-
ger engine put back on the track and
then it again got away and ran off.
We believe this practice of turning on
the Y before bringing in the mail or
passengers should be stopped. Had
the train come ia last Friday evening
as it should have done the patrons of
the poStotfice might have received
their mail that evening, but as 1T was
they did not get it until next morn
ing.
