BILL ARP ON THE SEASONS.
He Reiolces in the Sunshine of
Spring and Drops into Poetry.

SPAAhS anu oIopS lntO FOetfy.
How inspiring is tho earliest breath
of spring when nature like blushing
maid is putting on her pan;alets and
preparing to bang her silken hair.
What harmonious feelings spring up in
ones bosom and gush forth to all man
kind. "A balmy day fills all the cham
bcrs of the soul with music that Is not
heard and poetry that is not expressed.
Spring is unlocking the flowers. 1 see
sweet Violets peeping from their leafy
beds and jonqulls 'ftiny their yellow
bells to catch the sunshine. What a
rebuke to man is the innocence and
beauty of the flowers what a contrast
toi cruelty and strife and sellishness.
The love of flowers is refining and
draws man nearer to woman and to
heaven, and it is safe to say that what
ever woman loves, man had better
love, or try to. Flowers, music and
birds are given for our happiness.
They are the extras of creation de-
signed for our special pleasure. Pro-
violence would have withheld them if
He had not loved us. Or Ho might
have given us only the howlirg of the
| winds for music and buzzards for birds
| and dog-fennel for flowers. The love
of flp'gers is close akin to the love of
child rem.
Madam deStael said that music was
the only thing upon the earth that we
would find in heaven, for it was COM
mon to angels and to man, but she
dident know. If there are beautiful
mansions and golden streets and gates
of pearl and trees whose leaves arc for
the healing of the nations, why not
flowers? Spencer in his " Faerie
Queen " says "And is there care in
heauen and love i'll heavenly splits for
the flowers ?"
| Wadsworth says:
at is my faith that every Hover that
Enjoys the air 1t breaths."
The more uncultured and unreGned
a man ls the less he cares for flowers
and music and birds. Cowpar says ht
would not number on his list of friends
the man who would uselessly treat
upon worm. Shakespeare says tn,
Y man who has no music in his soul il
D lit for treason, strategems and spoils

Death of John N. Wright.

MI dODn N. WRIGHT, Weil-RnDWn
bamaaino, died yesterday at his resi-
dence at Independence Park after o
prolonged aud painful illness.
j. N, Wright was born in De-
Ruyter, N. Y, in 1880, where be was
educated. He came out to California
10 1858, when the gold fever was at
its height, but remained only two
years, when he returned to his old
home and was there IN arripd. Two
years later he went TO Mrmphi',
where he became w.gon manu-
factu -er and then entered he poll
tioal fisld for the irsttime. H. WAS

vice. He participated in tho bloody
battles OF the Wilderness, Spottsyl-
wants, was ia the ranks of the be
siessrs before Petersburg, aud saw
the end of the war at Richmond
His record as soldier was uni
formly good. His comrades say he
was OF the stuff OF which brave sol
diers are made, and that he went
wherever hs was told or led, and this
his comrades in Honolulu say is tho
highest tribute they can give to any
soldier. He cana out OF the Civil
War an orderly sergeant.
In 1865 his frat wife died aud
after making hi, home in California
for two years he decided to come
here.
Mr., Wright's career sjncs coming

He became manager aud remained
there until 1882, when be dispose d
OF his interests aud moved to III ,no-
lulu, where he has since made his
home. During this period, however,
he WAS the manager of Ookala plan
tation for about five years.

PLANS FOR ARMoRED CRUISERS
Points Determined by the Naval
Board on Construction.


Having referred to the Secretary of the
Navy for decision their differences over
the arrangement of batteries for the two
new battieships for which plans are be-
ing prepared by direction of Congress the
members of the Board on Construction
have begun consideration Of the plans for
the two armored cruisers. When the
board adjourned yesterday It had agreed
or the displacement, speed. and coal ca
paCity of these vessels and had made con
siderable progress in arranging the main
batteries The design viii call for ships
of 1900 tons displacement The bunkers
must held 1000 tons Of coal. thus providing
q great steamins radius. One. the Brook
lEI, the larger of the only two aTmored
cruisers Of the American Navy in commits
sion. has d maximum coal capacity Of
800 tons. while the other. the New YORK.
carries with every bit Of available space
full only 1850 tons.
The idea of the Board on Construction is
TO provide vessels that can cover from
1000 to 10000 miles without recoaling. thus
| ensurinE steady runs from the Atlantic or
the Pacific Coast to the Philippines and
| making it unnecessary to stop on the way
to get fuel
The speed has been fixed at twenty-five
knots, OF a knot faster than the contract
speed OF the Brooklyn and the New York
! In tonnage and general design these YES
sells viii be practically similar to the ar
nOred cruisers California and West Vir-
ginia, now under construction
The board has decided that the two
ships shan have either eIght-inch or sew
Cn-InCh rifles in their main batteries but
has not chosen between the two calibreS.
/ It has been practically determined. how
I ever. that if eight-inch guns are selected,
/ they VIII be mounted in tUrTets- but there
| viii be no tuTretS for Seven-inCh guns
