EVERYTHING FREE TO THEM
Guests of the Executive Committee and

The children Of all the orphan asylums

jr. at the Masonic fair this afternoon,
and for several hours they revesed in dis
sipation such as they had never before
beea permitted to indulge in. They we're
sRamped with candies, cakes. chewing
gum and kisses. they were bewildered by
the many strange sights and they shouted
with glee at the funny men on the paddle
stand, the queer people in the Mastodonic
Museum, the comical moving pictures and
the side-spHtting antics of ahe dusky
cake-walkers at the Dancing Palace
Everything was free to them.
Everywhere there was good feeling
which became infectious. lightened the
burdens Of tired attendants at the booths
and caused them to join in the pleasures
of zthe afternoon with the relish OF the
children themselves. Everywhere there
was an effort to Guido one another in add
ing TO the pleasure for the children, with
the result that by the time the little ones
were led away TO return to the asyIuns
they went very regretfu1ly.
There was a good attendance OF the gen
eTal public as well, who we're eager In
their search for bargains, which were to
besfCund in large numbers. As the end of
the fair draws near the prices are being
marked down from their original moder-
ate figures and it is almost impossible for
the thrifty housewife to pass them by

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

Fair Indication of the advance of
the world in application of science
and in accomplishment in short
periods OF time Of what were the tasks
of months or years is given by the
work of laying the Hawaiian cable
which is now in progress from San
Francisco westward to Honolulu.
Not yet forty years ago the first cable
was laid across the Atlantic. II was
an experiment to the extent that moth
ing of the sort ON such scale had
before been attempted 1t was slow
and tedious and months were required
to drop to the oceans bed cable not
greatly longer than that which will
reach from San Francisco to the first
stepping stone in the Pacific and will
take but days for the laying. Before
Christmas, if the weather at sea be
only haf propitious, the cable will be
landed on Hawaii, says the Pueblo
Star journal.
The accomplishment will be great
in ways beyond demonstration of
human progress in material things.
1t will bring the islands into closest
touch with the nation, will foster the
development of the possibilities of
earth and nature but above all it win
strengthen the tie that binds the
islands TO the United States and speed
the intellectual advance of the people
toward condition worthy of citizen
ship in the American union. The
conquest of the Pacific and the estab
lishment of American trade supremacy
in the far east viii more be hastened
and insured by the laying of this
cable to the Asiatic shores, to which
it will be extended from Hawaii,
than by all the footholds we have
taken ON land and all the force we
have displayed across the thousands OF
miles of water. American goods
triumph because of their superiority,
not because of being driven in with
the bayonet or forced ashore from
thirteen-inch guns
