a shipboard Romance.

A pretty little romance was unfolded
last evening as the Ventura was about
to sail 1t was the announcement of
the engagement of Mr.. Shute, of Liver
pool, and Miss Tanner, of California
who arrived on the Zealandia on her
last trip, the guest of Mrs Lorrin An
drews. Both were fellow passengers
on the steamship. and the acquaintance
begun on the Pacific between San
Francisco and Honolulu terminated In
an engagement. Mr.. Shute is a mem
Der of an English firm operating a
line of sailing vessels. He was sent
from Liverpool to Hawaii 20 look after
the affairs of the bark Senator, which
put into Hilo in a leaky condition.
When Mr.. Shute arrived here he as
certained that the Senator had sailed
from Hilo for the Sound only three
days before. Mr.. Shute sailed on the
Ventura last night, en- route TO Eng
land. Miss Tanner will remain here
until January, when she viii depart for
Liverpool, where the wedding win be
celebrated

Hawaiians Are the Most Indus4ri.
Gus and Capable of All
Dark Skinned Races.

HAVE been impressed most with the
] beauty of the city and it's possibili-
ties as a winter resort. I can think of
nc place to which I would rather go
fl ON Chicago for my vacation than
here, if I could take my outings in the
winter. There are so many variations
of climate right in the city that one
may find all that he wants.
1 see that there are great improve
ments in the way of buildings going
on, but I do not believe that it ever
will be possible to make a typical busi-
ness city of the United States of this,
and it is to be hoped that 1t will not
be attempted. The beauty of the trop-
ical foliage and the abundance of color
make the city one which always will
be remembered by visitor
My impressions of the Hawaiian race
gained from my reading have been al
tered by seeing the people and their
mode of life. I believe there Is not a
dark-skinned race which can compare
with this in industry and thrift. No
comparison can be made with the ne
=
in the United States When it is con-
sidered that this people has been in
contact with civilization about a cen
tury while the African races have
known contact with enlightenment for
two centuries and a half. the greater
capacity of the native race here will be
evident Where 1 came expecting to
find a people indolent and prodigal
find them industrious and progressive.
1t is a great pity that the people have
disposed of such a great portion of their
lands. think it would be wise II
there could be legislation which would
prevent the sale of lands by a native
for say 100 years. By that time the
people would be a match in business ca
pacfty for the Americans, and could
make headway for themselves In the
absence of such legislation the plans
being followed are admirable for the
preservation Of the lands for the peo-
pie themselves.
It would mean much for the Islands
If the people of the United States could
be told of the beauties of the scenery
and the life, and it would bring to youl
shores hundreds of people who woule
enjoy their stay as much as l hav'
done. GRAHAM H HARRIS,

Study Of the History of the Psopse
and the Enterprises Proves
Most Attractive.

OUR STAY here has been most pleas
~ ant and profitable too. OF course
the first visit of this kind always is
somewhat of an event, for we discover
much which is interesting scientifically.
1t has been a rare chance to study
the country and the people, from the
fact that in my researches it has been
n,.ct ssary to draw upon the libraries
and the newspapers of the old days.
and my coming in contact with the peo-
PIE while making our trip along the
CT asts has been very pleasing. I have
seen many things which have been en-
tertaining and I will return within a
couple of years with the most lively
antieipations of enjoying myself to the
fullest extent.
Scientifically the trip of the commits
sion has been very successful We
rave secured a vast number of fine
specimens of fishes and some of these
are new, not only new species but in
several cases new genera We are tax
ing with US two cans of fish, and each
member Of the party who has gone to
the Coast UP to this time had with him
several packages of specimens. These
will be assembled at Palo Alto.
In looking UP the history of the fish
cries of the Islands have found many
interesting facts. Few people here
realize now the extent of the fisheries
of the past. The history of the whaling
industry reads like a romance. The
gener raj fisheries records are very inter
estirE 6 to US, and we have spent much
time in making full study of the con-
dittons which have existed in the past,
and the present state of the fisheries

Sponge and oyster matters have fur
nished me with some study in the past
few days, but without much direct re-
suit. There are fair oysters in the
Pearl Lochs but there is room for i'm
prcyement. 1 was given a shell Of q
pearl oyster from the harbor yesterday,
showing that the species is not entire
ly wiped out, despite the fact that there
Is nothing like a quantity of them, as
of old. The sponges which I have been
able to find are not of commercial val
ue. but 1 did not get to the point OF

had to confine myself to what was
found in Pearl Harbor.

Progress Shown by Building Oper-
ations Promises Much for
Future of the City.

A THOUGH have been very busy
y during my stay here I have found
time TO see much OF the city and the
surrounding country, and I can say
that 1 have had a most thoroughly en-
joyable time. 1 have been so much
pleased that my present plan is to re-
turn here in the spring for a longer
stay.
The scenery is most delightful I have
taken over 200 views during my visit
and some of them are as pretty as any
scenes which I ever have had the priv
ilege of photographing. There is the
constant change of land and seascape.
and the mountains and valleys are full
of color and beauty. The scenes along
the roads are very fine and I am very
much pleased that have had the op-
portunity to add them TO my collection.
There is an air of bustling activity in
the city which means much for Its ad-
vancement. The buildings are of the
substantial order and / in every way
there are evidences of progress. am
most pleased that / came, and I think
that the people here viii appreciate the
intention of the department to give
them all to which they are entitled as
an American city. There is no inten
ton on the part of the department. to
attempt to force the free delivery upon
the people. There have been about 5000
who have signified their desire to have
the service. We shall try and give them
all that we can. AS to what viii be
the outcome of the experiment. l. of
course, cannot say but am very hope
full of the future I am of opinion that
within year the people will have
found that there is much of good in the
service, and that it viii have grown
into the life of the city until it could
not be abandoned without serious objec-
ton.
There seems TO be a great future in
store for the city of Honolulu and the
Postal Department will keep abreast Of
the needs of the community and lead
in the progress when possible. The
amount of building is remarkable and
the character Of the structures is of the
best The various elements which go TO
make up a live city are here and 1 ex-
pect to see even greater improvements
in the next few years. There can be no
question of the great future in store for
Honolulu. ]. w ERWIN.

Beauty of the City and Hospitality
of the People Combine to
Charm the Visitor.

THE beauty of the city and the hospi-
l tality of its people have been the
most impressive things to me during
the six weeks of my stay. 1 can say
that I have enjoyed this vacation more
than any preceding one 1 ever have
taken. I have found a very high grade
of intelligence and the most pleasing
surroundings throughout the time, and

find that the missionaries have been
greatly criticised. 1t is not necessary
that the son of a missionary should
preach. He is fit for any walk of life,
and If he wants to go out and make
money honestly he should be permitted
70 do so. But I find that there Is much
of the true missionary spirit here. l
do not think there is another commu-
nity in the world where the rich men
give with such liberality to the church
1t Is not a question of few dollars or
a few thousands; it is the need for the
money for the work
The city itself is a most beautiful one,
and as this was my first trip l have
enioyed the scenery and the varying
mountain and plains views very much.
Then. too. the variations OF climate are
remarkable. I have spent days and
NIGHTS in various parts Of the country
about the city, and the change which
location makes has been remarkable
and most pleasing. From the various
elevations on the road to the PaH TO
tba air of Manoa valley, the changes
have been welcome and the heat has
not been oppressive at any time. In
fart everything we have encountered
has been a source of pleasure. We have
been entertained on every hand nave
met old friends and made new ones ana
this has added zest to our visit,
On every hand I can see evidences ol
nrosnerity. The new buildings and the
in,nrovenoents in various ways mark a
rar;od of advancement which must
o,aan the grssvth of the city to a re-
able extent. This seems TO be
substantial growth and the city VIII oe
one worthy of the place il holds in the
commercial world. I leave with the
most lively feeling of friendship for the
city and its people. 1 have enjoyed ev-
ery day of my vacation and feel that
bave been benefited by it.
