J. F. Knapp. special commissioner o.
the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition, arrived here
in the Sierra The Republican office
was favored with q visit from tht
commissioner yesterday.
The South Carolina fair with the
long name viii be held at Charleston,
5. e, Dec l, 1901, to June 1, 1902. IL
viii draw many exhibits from the Pan
American at Buffalo. Mr.. Knapp's
primary mission to Honolulu is to pro-
cure the Hawaiian educational exhibit
from thence. In addition he viii look
for so much of the returning Paris ex-
hibit as may be suitable and avail
able. Also, for such a fresh exhibit
of products as the two commercial
organizations of Honolulu may be in
duced to have assembled. Byron Q.
Clark's offer of services for getting up
an exhibit for Buffalo. published in
this paper some days ago, might be
embraced with advantage if still held
out.
Mr. Knapp says: "On my way here
interviewed the proper authorities of
the States west OF the Mississippi
and nine out of twelve of them will
transfer their Buffalo exhibits TO Char
lesion.
What Hawaii aims at is, presume
the tourist traffic. BY having repre-
sentation at Charleston you viii reach
the Florida and Southern California
tourist trade. This connects with
Charleston by four great routes-the
Seaboard Air Line, the Southern, the
= MI
A reasonable estimate of the Southern
traffic is $4,000 tourists for the sea.
SON.
The preparations for this Southern
fair the coming winter, MIR. Knapp
says. are as far advanced as were
those of Omaha and Buffalo at co.
responding periods in advance of the
opening From the printed matter he
furnishes it is ascertained that the
principal buildings of the Exposition
will be eleven in number. Their
| styles of architecture, judging by the
/ illustrations, are as handsome as the
finest of all preceding great fairs
About one-half of the site containing
100 acres will form a natural park
of endless beauty. The directorate OF
the Exposition includes the CONNER
cial magnates of South Carolina.
The Exposition will reveal to tha
world the marvellous development oi
the South in the last quarter of the
Nineteenth Century
Mr.. Knapp's visit thus early affords
ample time for the business commu
nifty of Honolulu to give due deliber
alton to the question of having the
Territory's resources for health, pleas
ure and profit exploited at Charleston
the coming winter.

A NATIONAL PAwNsHoP.
The Operation of the Institution in

Correspondence the New York Evening
Post.
The question of pawnshops in Mex
leo really affects the prosperity of the
people. as with majority the pledg-
ing of articles is not an incident in
their lives, but the most natural thing
to be done to meet an emergency. The
act is repeated as often as the need
OF little extra money arises. A null
titude of families among the poorer
and middle classes live in this way
never knowing what it is to be free
from a state of bondage.
Answering the demand for such
loans, an abnormal number of pawn
shops exist in the City of Mexico and
over the entire republic. Fom Is to
% per cent. is demanded. At regular
intervals advertisements appear in the
daily papers announcing that in certain
pawnshopS the, articles must be re
deemed or they viii be placed on sale.
That rateros. as Mexican pickpoc-
kets are called find a ready way to
raise money on the spoils in these
places is certain. and the police are
given authority to make thorough
raids when necessary. A government
pawnshop, the ~Naeional Monte de
Piedad.- was founded in IT'S by the
rich and xind-hearted Pedro Romero de

that as soon as Mayer Pusey and the

shape Of a leather bound book containing
a typewriter translation in English. then
