Governor Dole
Sees Its Need

ent Promises to Assist by
Lending His Men.

Of Captain G.. p. Ahern TO Honolulu yes
terday. Capt. Ahern, who is superin-
tendent of the forestry division of the
Agricultural Department in the Philip
pines. had long conference with Gov
ernor Dole during the day, in which
the need of forestry experts was earn
estly discussed, and as a result of which
the governor will very likely ask that
forestry bureau be established here.
Captain Ahern believes however that
the need of such a thing is too urgent
to await the slow processes of the ma
tional forestry division which has fifty
million acres to look out for now, and
that the local government should take
immediate action, and secure forestry
experts from the colleges at Yale and
Cornell.
During the day Captain Ahern, in
company with Wray Taylor, visited the
planters experiment. station, the nurs
cry, and the governmental experiment
station back of Punchbowl. He took
with him on the Fitzpatrick eight diff
ferent varieties of sugar cane, and will
note the result of the experiments on
the lands in the Philippine Islands.
Accompanying Captain Ahern are five
specialists in forestry work who will
assist him in his experiments. They
are r. c. Bryant, who was the first
graduate of the Cornell forestry school
and was the expert in charge of the
New York state forests; E. Hagger,
who was the manager of the Cornell
forestry lands; w. Klemme, a graduate
of Cornell: Ed. Hereford, who gradual

estry in North Carolina, and S. F.

What lends special interest to these
men is the possibility that they are
likely to be sent to Honolulu to assist

ished. One of the promises by which
Captain Ahern induced them to go with |
him, was that in case the climate in

Then a similar proposition was made to
the Artillery but they did not like the

made to the Kamites for a game but
nothing came of the proposition. The
college team was spelling for a game
and there was no game to be had In
despair they decided to challenge the
loser of Saturdays game and did so and
there is a chance that the two teams
may meet next Saturday. The college
team is a very light one, averaging 135
pounds, while the soldiers will go much
heavier. The youngsters however are

pITTsBURG STEEL MEN SECURE
RAW MATERIAL SUPPLY.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 25.-The Melons, w.
H. Donner and others controlling the
Union Steel company have made them
selves absolutely independent in raw ma
terials, including ore and fuel and cox
ing coal. These interests, which will ul-
timately have combined interests covered
by a capital stock issue of about $20,000,'-
COO. will stand in Pittsburg with Jones
and Laughlin, limited, as among the two
greatest independent steel producing in
terests in the world.
The Donora mining company has its
headquarters in Duluth and is tncor-
porated under the laws Of Minnesota,
being a subsidiary of the Union Steel
company here. 1t has, by purchases and
new ore finds, intrenched itself with a
supply of ore which will make the con-
Germ independent in its supply for CEN
tury or more. Contracts of fuel coal
have been purchased in the Monongahela
valley and large body of high-class
coking coal In the new Klondike region
of Fayette county.
In short time. it Is understood, the
Union Steel interests will arrange for the
erection of its own coking plant, either
at the field or in connection with the
great new steel works which have created
an important community and city at Do
nora, on the Monongahela river, short
distance above this city.

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALs
UPHOLDS 1T
Reversal of Decisions of Two Lower
Courts in an Interesting Case
Brought Up From the
Indian Territory.

ST. LOUIS, No, Nov. 2-The United
States court of appeals, in reversing the
decisions of the United States district
court Of the Indian territory and the In
dian territory court of appeals, which
were in favor of Rose Pryor, who sued
Samuel T. Davis a wealthy merchant of
the Cherokee Nation for alleged breach
of promise, decided today that common
law marriages are legal.
Miss Pryor who is also a resident of
the Cherokee Nation, was a member of
Davis household The mistress of the
household was a young woman known to
Miss Pryor as Mrs. Davis. According to
Davis, this woman was his wife, with
whom he had lived for upwards of twen-
ty yea1S. When Rose Pryor was twenty
years old Davis was alleged TO have
eloped with her. but for some reason le-
fused to marry her. Miss Pryor fled
suit for $500, and won in both the lower
courts. She alleged that Davis had told
her that he was not legally married to
Mrs. Davis and that there was no legal
objection to his making her his wife.
Davis contended that he was alraa1y
married man. hence he could not have
made valid contract to become Miss
Pryor'S husband.
In delivering the opinion of the appel
late court Judge Adams said:
Marriage is civil contract and may
be made by any persons of different
sexes competent to make such contract
While commonly entered into at some
ceremony, either civil or religious, ii
may be consummated without any cere-
mony. If man and woman, in good
faith, agree to become husband and wife
and this agreement is followed by con
sistent and notorious cohabitation. the re-
lation Of husband and wife is lawfully
established
1t is also said by the court Rose Pryor
knew Davis relations to Mrs Davis and
could not, therefore, have been deceived
when he proposed to marry her.

BIG BATCH OF MINNEAPOLIS AND;
PHILADELPHIA PAPERS
NOT sECOND-CLAss
THEY CREATE POSTAL DEFICITS
Third Assistant Postmaster Madden
Points Out How Postal Priv
ileges Are Abused Most
Outrageously.
oNE-cENr POSTAGE POSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Another big
batch of publications excluded from the
second-class of mail matter under the
new policy governing that classification,
was announced today. Most of them are
serials published In Minneapolis and
Philadelphia. The list includes several
newspapers, almanacs and railroad
guides.
Third Assistant Postmaster Edwin C.
Madden, in his annual report, recon-
mends the consolidation of third and
fourth-class mail matter; an increase of
the limit of indemnity for the loss Of reg
istered matter from SO to s100, and that
postal employees be made liable for the
value of registered matter lost through
their carelessness. The total postal rev.
enue for the year from all
sources was Sill, ,631. 1873, being s3.-
923 727 less than the expenditures. This
is exclusive of the cost of transporting
the mails over the subsidized Pacific rail-
roads that have not yet settled their
bonded accounts with the government.
The total value of stamped paper and
stamped books issued during the year
was $104, 785, 1897. The issue of postage
stamp books is regarded as a successful
experiment. The 4,96S425 stamp books is
sued have cost the department $4,69 per
LOCO to manufacture. There were 659, ,614 :
500 postal cards issued
A Revenue Consumer.
The amount of second-class matter
mailed free of postage to actual sub
scribers within the county of publication
constitutes practically 67 per cent of the
entire amount mailed. Mr.. Madden says
it is but question of time, if the rate
of increase of second-class matter con-
tinues, before 1t will consume most, If
not all, of the revenue derived from other
classes of mail matter. While second
class matter, combined with it's neces-
sary equipment, constitutes approximate
ly two-thirds of the combined weight of
all the four classes of mail matter, it
furnishes only slightly over per cent Of
the revenue from all postages. About so
per cent of this nominal rate, Mr.. Mad
Gen says, is due to construction of the
statutes which has permitted the ad-
mission of great number of alleged
newspapers and periodicals which arc
merely pretensions.
The principal abuses of the pound rate,
named by the report, are sample copies,
bulk subscriptions, book SERIALS return
copies to news agents and premiums to
subscribers, the latter being character
lied as the king of abuses. The hope is
expressed that the next annual report
will show the second-class of mail prac-
tically free from at least the larger
abuses. This reformation, the report
says, may make 1-cent. postage prac-
ticable at no distant date.
