FOR A;KNLEY PARK.

The declaration OF J. s. McCandless
that he has become convinced that the
n ost appropriate form for memorial
to the late President Mckinley would
be a public park and playground. ap-
peals with force TO the practical people,
who see in such a memorial an everlast-
ing emblem OF aloha for the first Pres
ident to whom the people Of Hawaii
gave allegiance. Such a memorial is
one which the late William Mckinley
would have chosen for himself.
Honolulu Is all too sparingly provided
with public squares. spots where the
people may gather for the pure sports.
where the children may play and WHERE
the Keep on the Grass sign may
rever enter In all other tropical spots
on the face OF the earth the public
breathing place Is considered a neces-
sIty- In the former days there was no
reed OF such cOnveniences. or necessi =
ties. for each home had its environ
ment OF lawn and was given over TO the
sports OF childhood. But times change
and conditions change with them. and
now II IS that Honolulu has taken on a
new form. There are hundreds OF homes
where freedom to play upon a grass
sward or in a-sand heap is never given
TO the little ones. This Is one OF the
penalties of the city's growth, but IL
must not be that there is no remedy.
The plan for public square IS one
which would appeal TO every one who
gives any thought to the subject, just
as it has appealed to the members of
the committee which is now consider
ing the gathering OF the money for the
memorial. The outlined plan for an
arched entrance would serve every pur-
pose Of a base for a bust or statue OF
4 O.. I.
a dedication as would serve to call at
tention TO its meaning and thus in en-
during stone give record to the thought
OF this people.

CAREER OF ADMIRAL ScHLEY.

Midshipman Schley of Maryland. as
signed to the frigate Niagara, arrived
in his ship at Boston just after the at
tack on Fort Sumter. He and his
messmates were asked to decide wheth-
er they would stay with the Union or
go with the South. Schley was in doubt
as to the views of his family, but not
as to his own. and he took the oath
without demur.
The Niagara went South to join the
blockadinG fleet of Charleston and
Schley was sent home in command Of
the first prize captured. large steamer
called General Parkhill. He was but
twenty-one years old and short-handed,
but he delivered the prize in safety to
Admiral Dupont in Delaware bay.
Quickly advanced. to the grade Of
master he became navigating officer of
the frigate Potomac and as such WAS
cOmpIimented for distinguished gallant
~ in a fight with land batteries. AS
lieutenant and executive officer OF the
river gunboat Winona he got into a
battle where his ship was struck TWEEN
ty-seven times. Later he was in the
heaviest fighting before Vicksburg al d
Port Hudson, and did excellent snrv-
ice ashore with two nine-inch guEs.
In July. 1868. Schley. as executive Of
ficer of the Wateree. suppressed a re-
volt on one OF the Guano islands in the
South Pacific and later protected Amer
lean interests at La Union. Salvador,
during a revolution. After the war be
went TO the naval academy with the
rank OF Lieutenant Commander. to
serve as an assistant to Admiral Por-
ter.
When the Koreans, in 1871, fired on
Admiral Rodgers fleet, Schley was an
officer on the flagship, and became one
Of the landing party to punish the en-
envy. His work on this occasion, whom
the Koreans lost over $50 killed. was
brought officially TO the notice of the
Department.
a Commander in 1874. Schley was en-
gagged in naval scientific work until
to save Lieutenant Greelys party in
the Arctic ice. How well he succeeded
and by dint of what hardships are a
part of national history. When he
came back the North Atlantic squad
ron. assembled at Portsmouth gave
him an ovation; the navy department
officially thanked him; the Maryland
Legislature voted him a gold chronom-
eter; the Geographical Society named
an Arctic territory after him and the
President. after signing his commission
as captain, made him chief of the Blu
reau Of Equipment Of the navy, a posi-
ton which carried the honorary rank
of Commodore.
For four years at the head of this
bureau he introduced useful reforms In
the navy. Ordered to the command Of
the Baltimore, he found himself at Val
paraiso when the Chilean mob killed
his sailors. It was owing to his GOODNESS

ed States.
In conclusion, as a Rear Admiral, re-
tired, Admiral Dewey and his fellow
countrymen credit him with the honor
of victorious command at the battle of
Santiago. and he Is not unlikely to re-
ceive the thanks OF Congress. Such a
climax to his career would seem a mere
fulflment of an evolutionary law, for

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS.

AS the frontlspiece Of a current
lChristnas magazine is n half-tone pic
ture by Pierre Fritel Of The Peace OF
Centuries Past" It represents splen-
lcId procession of the worlds conquer
ors riding down a long lane between
rows of human dead. In the front rank
of these mounted men Of destiny are
| Caesar and Hannibal and Alexander or
| 1IacedOn and behind them are Attilla,
IGenghi5 Khan. Charlemagne, Napoleon
and all the rest OF the bloOd-stained
company. over whom. in the great pic
ture, glares a light as OF the red fires
which they had kindled among the
homes OF men.
Ii is a strange Christmas picture. yet
He Of Nazareth came not TO bring peace
into the world but a sword. That such
was indeed His mission, history would
seem TO teach, for ever since the ban
ner Of the cross was raised on earth il
has dripped with blood. In His name
myriads Of men have died by violence,
in His name the flames Of the auto da
fe have licked the flesh of martyrs; in
His name the innocents have fallen I'M
der foot; in His name half the ruin Of
the world has been wrought. Yet is not
Christ also the Prince Of Peace and il
not His natal day the harbinger OF
goodwill TO man2
How reconcile these seeming differ
ences? How explain this brooding mys-
terry? Perhaps-who knows?-it was
Gods plan TO bring peace through trib-
ulation, as the Kingdom of Heaven is
taken by violence. AS one looks back
over history he can see that every
great war has given the race a pro-
founder hope of universal peace and n
nearer inclination TO reverence the doc
trines or those who would bring war
and bloodshed 10 an end. Wars are
now shorter in their time and the waits
between them are longer; the standards
Of the races are changing and great
men now seek the victories of peace
rather than the pomp of conquest.
Where is the great man in uniform to-
day? In his place we have the captain
of Industry. Where resounds the shock !
Of armies? Instead we hear the whir
Of wheels, the clangor of steam driven
ron. the rush Of commercial progress,
the clink of coin in a billion hands.
May 1t not be true that war was per-
1itted to teach its dreadful lessons so
that men, slowly reclaimed from an e.,
,ient savagery. may turn from them in
hatred and look into the clear face of
peace with everlasting nope and faith?
II this is so we can understand how
he who came bringing the sword and
setting men in deadly controversy is
till the Prince of Peace at whose birth
LEgels sang of human good to come and :
whose finger points TO the millennium.
rhe master hand has shown the terrors
II human strife; il now reveals the
aving grace of human concord. Wars
indeed will come, but peace brightens
he uttermost horizon and already gilds
he browning mountain tops.

Iver; a gold crown inlaid with gems and
1913 bricks OF gold. Admiral PalliseI
went. the island soil was deeply prod
ded and in due time the Briton return
ed 10 his station with the suspicion that
If he had found no bricks OF gold. he
had at least bought a gold brick of as
tonishing proportions.
But failure never stops greed. Before
Palliser were other gold-seelzing Aga
memnons and there are TO be more.
Late dispatches say that a corporation
has been formed in Victoria to send an
expedition TO the treasure island; and
also that a Costa Rican gunboat, repre-
Sc nting the national sovereignty Of Co
cos, will be on hand TO receive it. If
there is a buried fortune on Costa Ri
can soil. the Costa Rican government
means to absorb every ounce of it.
| The story of how the treasurer
treasure there became to Cocos island
is told as follows: a pirate named
Pedro Benito. lately from the West In
dies. met galleon off the coast Of
Peru. which was carrying the govern
ment treasure of that country to Spain.
whittier it was being taken to escape
capture by the revolutionists. Benito
attacked the galIeon. boarded her and
killed the crew. transferring millions o.
spoil TO his own ship. Then he shaped
his course to Cocos Island. place far
from the beaten track of vessels. and
buried the treasure. Next he sailed
along the coast of Mexico and hove to
off Acapulco. Sending trusted men
ashore he learned that two ships were
in the harbor waiting to receive the
richest Spanish people of the City of
Mexico, high officials and others, who
were going to embark with their port
able wealth, owing to the political fer
ment OF the country. When these YES
sells came out, six weeks later, Benitc
captured one with its entire treasure
and sank the other. rescuing, however
some of the wealth she was carrying.
Heavily laden with plumber. the pirate |
skip went back to Cocos Island. There |
a hole was dug in sandstone on hill. |
about half the spoil dumped into it and |
the surrounding rocks blown up. To |
show the location of the deposit certain |
marks were carved which still remain. |
In another excavation the gold bricks |
and crown were placed and in another
kettles of gold coin.
How the pirates were captured in 9TH |
a. seas by the British man-of-war Ma
sician; how eighty-one of them were
hanged al the yard arm and how but
two escaped; how one of these returned
to Cocos with an expedition and got
c 5000. which ne took to Newfoundland;
now his maps and papers and those OF
lis old shipmate fell into the hands OF
1eirs and how they were secured by the
Victorian corporation now about 10 dis
,atch a searching party, make up the
strange story to date.

Charles III. Arbuckle,. state fish
and game warden, has filed his re-
port to the governor. It is a neat.
pamphlet of II pages and gives an
account of the work Of this depart
ment for the last two years. Sixty
arrests we're made for violation of
fish and game laws.
In lieu of the present county
deputy warden system Mr.. Ar
buckle recommends the appoint
ment of five deputies, one from
each judicial district, to be salaried
and who shall devote all their time.
to their work.
Mr.. Arbnckle suggests . plan to
make the department. self-sustain-
ing by a system of licenses. One
Is a hunters license like that in OPP
Grafton in Maine, Michigan and
Wisconsin. He also favors the
registering of guides who shall fur
nish the state warden with reports.
Mr.. Arbuckle says that the ship
ment of game and trout from Ida
no to other states has been practi-
cally suppressed.
lie makes number of sugges-
tions as to improvements in the
