Folding Linen In Holland.

Folding linen is an accomplishment
in which each one of the women in
Holland is expected to be proficient
before she becomes mistress of home.
In Holland especially the folding of
linen requires considerable skill and
training Much of their fabric is of
the finest texture and quality, and they
fashion the various pieces in ironing
into birds, animals. flowers and all
manner of artistic shapes. Their linen
closets are often shown to visitors with
the same pride that china closets are
shown elsewhere.

SCOTS EMULSION

of cod-liIer oil is the means of
life and enjoyment of life to
thousands: men women and
children.
When appetite fails, it re-
stores it. When food is a
burden, it lifts the burden.
When you lose flesh, it
brings the plumpness of health.
When work is hard and
duty is heavy, it makes life
bright.
1t is the thin edge of the
wedge; the thick end is food.
But what is the use of food,
when you hate it, and can't d.
gest it?
SCOTS emulsion of cod
liver oil is the food that makes
you forget your stomach.

AT the head OF a mob of 200 citizens
of this county, Conway Younger is%pur-
suing the negro who assaulted his wife
and cut her throat last night.
Not a word has the stricken man
spoken since he learned from the lips
of his. little child the story Of the awful
crime. The capture of the fugitive is
but a matter of time, for the blood

trail promptly. Nothing can save the
pursued man. if captured,
The crime was committed early last
night while Mr.. Younger was away
from his home and at work in field
near by. There was no one to tell the
tale save little 3-year-old child
"A big negro knocked mamma down
and dragged her away" the child told
its father when he returned from
work
Frantic with grief, Younger began a
search and found the body of his wife
in the bushes near the house. Her
throat had been cut and there was evil

believe they are near to their quarry
The Youngers are among the most
highly respected people in this county.

tations of each of the Islands he has so
far visited-Oahu, Hawaii and Maui.
THE amount of energy that has been
thrown into many of these plantations
has been stupeLdous. The magnitude OF
the Island investments surprises me-.
The finan1 iers CT Hawaii are dealing in
m lions. 1t is almost paralyZing to find
to what an enormous extent resource

various plantations ] have only the

about to guide me in saying anything of
their values or to whether or not their
bonds are safe investments. There has
been a monumental display of energy in
the last eighteen months on certain
plantations on Hawaii and in other
places. The men behind these vast en-
terprises have done tremendous amount
of work. The whole situation has opened
up my eyes to what there is here. I be-
lieve that the people of the Coast are.
in a large measure, ignorant of theSa
facts.
Now as to sugar prices and the pros

of the opinion that there is little need
to fear that prices will come down. Re- k-
now an absolute necessity, and with the
continual increase in the population of

PLANS FOR A
VICTORIAN CHAPEL
Projected Memorial at Westmins.
ter or Buckingham for
Late Queen.

NEW YORK, March THE proposal
that the Victorian memorial shall take
the form of structure near the Abbey,
or possibly at Buckingham Palace, with
a statue of the Queen as its most prom
inent figure, is condemned as made
Quate, says the Tribune's London cor
respondent, and the King is expected to
refer it back to the committee with a
suggestion for a more comprehensive
scheme. 1t would probably involve the
erection of an isolated and inartistic
valhalla, with statue by Onslow Ford,
and would be commonplace memorial
of a unique character and design. The
Dean of Westminster, who consulted
Queen Victoria respecting the construc-
ton of q chapel as memorial of the
jubilee, was told by her that it would
be more appropriate to her death than
to an anniversary of her coronation
This utterance, which has never been
contradicted, encourages the Abbey
clergy to hope that a Victorian chapel
will be built which will provide addi-
tional space for monuments and sepul-
ture, both transepts now being over
crowded. The only site available for a
chapel is. Mr.. Labouchere's house
which now commands an exclusive
view of the Jewel Tower, one of the
most interesting relics of old Westmin-
ster. A chapel built there could be con-
nected with the Abbey by a cloister I'M
derneath the flying buttresses of the
Chapter House. This project already
has strong support. The committee's
plan does not excite enthusiasm in any
quarter.

*, OUR property values are too high
" in the business section of Homo
lulu" said Mr.. John Lloyd, one
of the directors of the Germania Bank
and Savings Association of San Francis
co. to an Advertiser representative yes
terday evening Mr.. Lloyd is of the
opinion that, although Honolulu proper
ty-owners will not admit it, there is a
real estate boom on in the City, and as
much of a one as those which prevailed
in California and in the Sound country
a few years ago.
Mr. Lloyd has remained over in Homo
plantations and other properties which
were lately visited by himself, w. S.
Goodfellow and Mr. Tourney of the same
institution.
I'VE were here for the purpose OF
making Investigations throughout the
Islands," said Mr.. Lloyd. I'VE have
travelled very extensively since arriving
here, and from what we have seen we
are favorably impressed. l am left here
TO go into the situation more precisely.
| feel sure we may find properties on
property or bonds. We have already put
out considerable money here There is a
plethora of money on the Coast, Money
has become almost a burden to us to get
rid of. We have some 100000 or SO to
invest. If we eventually make UP our
minds that there is here a safe field. we
may extend our investments over wide
area of properties"
Mr.. Lloyd has keen insight as far as
valuations are concerned. The loans
which his company proposes to put into
City property will be only in the bust
ness section. He insists, however. that
prices are inflated to an extraordinary
degree, and is now awaiting the sale OF
the Rookie properties next Saturday to
determine Fort and Union street valua-
lions as a guide in making future loans.
The company has not even looked at
residence properties, as they are classed
as "unproductive'' among the savings
banks.
Mr. Lloyd cannot find words enough
to express his admiration for the plan

TO REBUILD Mo1L11L1 CHURCH
One of the Old Landmarks to be
Rebuilt.

Through the efforts of Mr.. Paul Isen-
sberg $1,000 has been raised for the pur-
fpose of renovating and putting into
good condition the historic old church
at Moilili, which was built by his
grandfather, William Rice. The reno
vations are expected to be completed
before MIR. Isenberg sails for Germany
in April. 1t is not intended to rebuild
the church, but it will be made cosy
and comfortable, the old stones being
USED IN reconstruction. The only new
portion of the building will be the roof.
The grounds about the church will be
planted with shrubbery and flowers and
better ventilation arrangements will
be made for the building. The restora-
ton of the ancient structure is a, for
tunate thing, as 1t is one of the oldest
in the Islands, having been built in
early missionary days

Editor Advertiser: To settle a friendly
dispute, please state the proper title that
is due the Governor of State or Terri
tory, when officially addressing him. Is
it His Excelency" or Honorable?
Yours truly, T. AND r.
The Organic Act does not confer the
title of His EXcellency" upon the Gov
ernor of this Territory, though at least
one State has such provision for dis
tinguishing it's Executive. Mr.. Dole's
official correspondents address him as
Honorable" 1t is interesting in this
connection to note that the trainers ot
the Federal Constitution refused to
give the President of the United States
the title of His Excellency" and he
