BUSINESS.

The showing of various plantations
as made elsewhere in these columns, is
one that must attract investment. 1t
is a startling revelation to strangers
and a surprising one even to local peo-
pie. Probably no form of agriculture
in the world produces SO much revenue
per acre on large scale as the Hawaii
an sugar business; and for that reason
our investing people are either making
fortunes every year or, where the plan
tations are new, have such fortunes in
sight a little way ahead.
Just now money is more plentiful
than it has been at any time since the
eras of the speculative boom and the
plague, and most of it comes from the
plantations or on their account. 1t Is
giving new life to every kind Of busI-
ness Merchants. professional men,
tradesmen, dealers in luxuries, trans
portation lines, manufactories-all these
are thriving. AS for the press, the in-
creasing business of Hawaiis favorite
newspaper speaks for itself.
But one thing can check this advance
in values, this efflorescence of prosper
ity, and that is some stroke Of supreme
folly on the part of the Legislature.
If that body would tear up its program
and go in for economy and retench-
ment every man, woman and child in
Hawaii would be the richer for it.

THE KINGS OATH.

The London Tablet, organ of the Ro-
man Catholic Church of Great Britain
and Ireland, points to the curious cir
cumstance that King Edward VII, in
the terms of his coronation oath, Will
be compelled to insult the religious
faith of ten millions of his subjects.
The oath is an ancient formula, con-
ceived in the days when Englishmen
were in dread of the power of Rome,
and 1t contains this clause:
1 do believe that in the Sacrament of
the Lords Supper there is not any, tran
substantiation, and that the invocation
and alteration of the Virgin Mary or any
other saint, and the sacrifice of the mass,
as they are now used in the Church of
Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous
Recited in the presence of the Ear
Marshal, himself the chief of the Papal
nobility of England, and heard for the
first time by the vast majority of En-
glish and Irish Catholics and Protes-
tant high ritualists, such an utterance
may impart a shock which Will be felt
at the foundations of the Kings per-
sonal popularity. Nor will matters De
improved any by the further declara-
ton, forced into the mouth of the King,
that he will not permit himself to be
absolved from his oath by the power
and authority of the Pope.
1t is an historical circumstance that
as lately as 1867 this same oath was
imposed upon several high officials IF
the Crown and that, seventy-fve years
ago, it was taken by every member Of
Parliament. The Lords and Common
ers, however, amended the law, leaV
ing the King alone to take the respon-
sibility of a declaration which, as the
Tablet says, visits an indignity upon
an immense body of those who acclaim
his rule" The Catholic organ suggests
that the Conservative party, for its
own sake and that of the King, may
follow the amending precedent before
the time for the coronation arrives.

OBJECTS OF ENVY.
and His Magnificent Chair
Attract Attention,

Secretary Longs messenger, a
negro who guards the outer entrance
to the office of the secretary of the
navy, occupies a chair which has
created considerable criticism and has
led many persons to remark that
democratic simplicity has entirely
disappeared at least in one of the
government departments. The chair
is luxurious one and is perhaps the
most expensive piece of furniture oc-
cupied in this or any other country.
The exact cost of the chair cannot be
ascertained, but it was made to order.
1t is of polished cherry. hand carved,
upholstered in expensive leather, and
revolves upon a steel pivot. The other
messengers IN the department are en-
vious of the man who guards the door
leading to Secretary Longs Office be.
cause of this elegant chair.
Inquiry as to why this man should
be especially favored in this way de-
veloped the fact that the chair was
made at the navy yard for the special
use Of Rear Admiral Hichborn, who
recently retired. This piece Of furni-
ture did not suit Rear Admiral
Bowles, the successor of Admiral
lilchborn, and it was therefore turned
over to the messenger for his use.
In fact, the chair is not at all suit
able for the present chief of the bu-
reau of construction and repair, who
is an extremely small man. while his
predecesso was large one and had
the char made to At him.

-bana q washingson.


Mrs. John A. Logan was shown the
different criticisms which have been
made regarding the Agures on the
pedestal of the monument which has
just been dedicated. When the pedes-
tai was first put up, the fact was
pointed out that the senators repre-
sented in the group were not all in
the senate ct the same time, or at
least were not there when Logan took
the oath. These criticisms have been
repeated since the dedication of the
monument, and have caused consider
able modification to Mrs. Logan, be-
cause 1t was made to appear that she
either willfu1Iy or fgnorantty had at
tempted to falsify the history Of the
senate. In explanation she said:
ut was not intended to represent
any particular session of the senate,
but rather Gen. Logan's associates in
the senate during his 16years Of serv-
ice in that body. II Affects the cor
rectness of history in no way, as he
was senator while Vice President Ar
thur presided, and he served with
each Of the senators In the bas-relief.
Senator Miller was . soldier and lost
an eye at Ferryville, hence his selec-
ton. Each had won distinction in the
United States senate, and all are
worthy of the places given them.
II cannot see that violence has been
done anyone, or that the criticism is
of any Importance. I think the sue
cess of the sculptor in the execution
of the design suggested to him by me,
and the fact that there is one great
statue at the capital of the nation that
fittingly illustrates the unique charac-
ter of Gen. Logan as soldier and states.

A vERITABLE BOOK WORM.
Master of Ten Languages Dies After
Living ON Bread and Water
Five Years.

Albert Lindmaier. master of ten lam
guages, has just died in Bellevue hos
pital, New York, where he was known
under an assumed name. His death
was due as much as anything else to
the fact that for five years he lived on
bread and water. Lindmaier lived in
a Bowery lodging house. He went to
bed at an early hour. taking with him
two loaves of bread and a can of wa
ter, and while the light lasted he read
the books and munched the bread.
He was as omnivorous in his read
ing as he was frugal in his fare. He
read newspapers in all languages. What
little he saved he spent at the book
stalls. reserving only few cents .
day for his living expenses.

BIG GUN ON KEARsARGE.
Damaged Beyond Repair and Must
he Removed and New Gun
Put In Its Place.

It has been found necessary to re-
move the 13-inch gun from the Kear-
sarge. This gun, which was emplaced
in one of the turrets of this hattleship.
was seriously injured some weeks ago.
At the time an effort was made to have
the accident appear of little conse-
quence. Since then, however, 1t has
developed that the gun cannot be re-
paired. 1t is practically destroyed,
and will have to be replaced.
Bids for the forgings for this gun
have been invited by the navy depart
ment. 1t probably will be the last
gun of the type built for the navy, as
13-inch guns are no longer to be part
of naval ordnance.
The loss is heavy one, and while
the new gun is being constructed the
double turrets, the lower one of which
contained the damaged one, will be
practically useless.

NEW ENGINE INVENTED.
Mechanic at Des MOines, Ia., Claims
to Have Discovered . Novel
Principle.

An invention has been made by L..
Kessler, a mechanic of Des Moines, Ia,
which, If the claims Of its author are
realized, is destined to revolutionize
the manufacture of steam engines.
The principle has not been applied to
an engine of any large power as yet,
but the inventor holds that it will be
successful, no matter to what style
of an engine it is applied. The new
engine works on the vacuum prin-
ciple, and uses the same water over
and over again. 1t has no steam chest,
or, rather, both the steam chest and
boiler are combined in one. There be-
ing no exhaust, the same water is
used as many times as desired, being
converted into steam and condensed,
then reconverted into steam and re-
condensed, and so on ad infinitum.
