ALFRED STEAD JR.,
WRITES UP HAWAII
Pictures the Island as Being
in a DsPlorable
Way.

LONDON, March 22.-The Saturday
Review, continuing its anti-Americar
campaign, today publishes long com
munication from Alfred Stead, son OF
W. t. Stead, the editor, picturing the
alleged deplorable condition OF Hawaii
as a result of annexation to the United
States. Mr.. Stead said that the unvary-
ing lament is heard from every class,
whether planter, or member of the gov
eminent, to the effect that Hawaii has
reaped no good from annexation. The
foremost advocates OF annexation in
1898 are now the most bitter and out
spoken in bewailing its accomplish
ment.
Mr.. Stead says that the application
of the American coastwise navigation
laws has deprived the Islands of the
use of 81 1868 tons of shipping annually
thus Gripping trade and raising freight
rates. The wealthy inhabitants of the
Islands, continued Mr.. Stead, when
they are in a hurry to reach the Pa
cific coast, are frequently forced to
take passage on a foreign vessel and
pay a fine of $500 in addition to their
fare.
Phe frequent calls of transports are
greatly despised as they almost always
bring smallpox or some other con-
tagion requiring quarantine, says the
writer, and the exclusion of the
Chinese is running the labor market.
The tariff concessions to Cuba
threaten to kill the sugar industry.
America has twice prevented Hawaii
from obtaining cable. Hawaii is thus
cut off from newspaper publicity.
which is essential to securing speedy
Commenting editorially on this
communication from Mr.. Stead the
Saturday Review says: Whatever
evils the Hawaiians are suffering as
a result of American protection, they
have richly merited it as punishment
for their monstrous treatment of

HARRIS IN BY
LARGE VOTE
Continued from page II

Brown and several faithful workers
formed the party at varying moments
during the day When the polls closed
there was an immediate preparation for
the tabulation of the returns for the
various precincts. These came in over
the telephone. The first to be received
was the Third, followed by the Seventh
and then the rush of the reports until
the last to be received was the Fifth.
The election of Harris was assured
when the returns from the six pre-
4 cincts gave him 219 majority, and the
cutting down of twelve, which came
with the returns from the Fifth, was
not enough to make any change in the
spirit of jubiIation which possessed the
crowd. The cheering began early. and
as the totals of the figures showed the
complete triumph of Republicanism,
! there were calls for Harris. for Repub-
licanism, for everything which is Re
publican, and one voice added when
| there was a cheer for the party, And
GOV. Dole" and there was even greater
enthusiasm for the significance of the
polling was not lost upon the men who
had made the fight.
Finally there were so many demands
as committeeman came in from the
various precincts, for a speech from the
candidate, that Harris was forced to
mount a table and speak to the crowd.
He said: II have to thank you all for
the victory which has been gained this
day. This is the result of the work
ings of no clique but of the party as a
whole. 1t shows what can be done
when the party works for success as
one man and works with will. L
want you TO remember that we trf-
umphed over not one party but two
parties, combined upon one candidate.
You must remember that the Repub-
lican party stands for good govern
ment. That is its motto all the time, |
and the result of this election shows |
that the people of these Islands will !
not be satisfied with anything but the !
best government. The result of this |
election shows us that we can go into |
the battle in the fall with good chances .
for victory all along the lines"
Amid cheers, which were long and |
loud, the crowd spent the next hour
with its jubilations, the leaders after
wards dining together.
The Home Rulers received reports at |
the headquarters of the party, and |
there was no time lost by them in their
appreciation of the fact that defeat
was to be their portion. The results
came in quietly enough and the crowd
which could see no relief in any re-
port, simply faded away, until there
was none of the leaders about by 6
o'clock.
Prince Cupid said that he attributed
the victory to superior organization
and the fact that the business day kept
many of the members of the party at
work instead of being idle, and able to
get to the polls when they wished.
c. A. Long attributed the defeat to
the same causes, and said the party
would receive it as a lesson which
would discipline il for the fall work.
He said that he was confident of the
results then.

IMPROVING CATS CONDITION
Washington VIII See That the Domestic
Pet Is Neither a Menace Nor

A cat club has been incorporated in
Washington, D. c., which has for its object
the improvement of the cats condition at
the capital. The official announcement
contains a statement to the effect that the
homeless city cats now destroy property.
flower beds, young chickens, disturb SUM
bers, wreck the nerves, wiring hearts
through their sufferings at the hand of
the small boy and the vicious adult, and
are a menace to the health not only to
the pets of a household, but of the children
as well. Many fine cats are annually lost
during summer months in the care of ig-
away with puss as a menace and puss as
set in motion by the club. These include
the picking up Of stray cats in the street,
the designation of addresses where vagrant
cats may be left; calling for undesired
additions to the cat populations; providing
OF pets fo- those who wish them; protec-
ton for straying cats until their owners
can be located It is also on the cards of
the club to furnish the best medical and
surgical treatment Of afflicted cats and to
palnlessly Kill the incurables. The funds
are to be provided by an annual cat show,
by the care of cats for absent owners sale

club. The only name published in the
press in connection with the club is that of

purses Of all sizes from the very capa-
cious pouch that might serve as small
travelling bag to the minute affair which
hangs from one Of the beaded chains.
IN making these the beads must be
strung on the silk before the purse is
commenced and then they may be
crocheted In any pattern the worker
wishes. They are very simple and very
smart looking
One woman, who has trunks full OF
helriooms has gone to her attic instead OF
the shops this year and has hunted out
nall dozen old bead bags knitted by her
grandmother. Some of them reproduce
rustic scenes in variety of colors 9th
ers represent punches of roses, forget me-
nots, and other sentimental blossoms, and
stlll others are in conventionalized pat
terms They are to be remounted and Civ
en- on Christmas morning to the six great
grand daughters who will appreciate the
beauty Of their great-grandmother's in
dustry not whit the less from the facts
that the bags are again a fad Of the day.
There is considerable wholesome advice in
ancient saws and sayings and most people
nave proved the truth Of the proyerb
which favors a large attic and trunks
piled With things that are seven and thrice
seven years old Unfortunately flats
rather discourage accumulation, and the
problem fiat jewellers try to solve is not
how to acquire but how to dispose Of
things. Not everyone has an attic, even
though everyone may have had a grand
mother, and so the modern bead work
makes a most satisfactory substitute. The
Indian chains which are worn over the
winter coats and from which dangle the
beaded purses for small change are Won
derfully smart and they can be made by
any one who can thread a needle They
are of beads Of one size or of graduated
sizes, OF one strand or of two strands
joined occasionally by large bead and if
they are for house wear they end in a
quaint tassel of beads or a picturesque
knot. The beads are so pretty in them
selves that it is fascinating to work with
them. They come in all shades, soft and
eastern in color, and some of them are
| ornamented in Dresden fashion while
others have strange hieroglyphics In some
contrasting colors. In stringing the
chains, don't use anything but stout silk
thread unless you want to have your chain
break at a critical moment and don't use
too many colors in one chain. The best
results are obtained from rather simple
combinations.

THE REVIVAL OF BEAD WORK

now. The jewelers. have a few Of the
smart long bead chains, but they ask more
than twice as much for them as one need
pay If one is clever enough to do them
oneself. So great is the popularity of
this bead work that the shops are unable

| orders to Chicago and New York for
more beads to match the enclosed SAM
ple." AS yet none of the shops has fol-
lowed the example set by Marshall, Field
& Co. in Chicago where an instructor in
bead work has been employed by the
management and is kept busy all day.. =
A number Of the teachers have been
weaving chains for the past year and one
Of the Janitors devised odd little looms for
them. Bead work is taught in some of
the normal schools, and at Pratt institute
| and some wise persons profess to believe
that it will form a feature Of the school
industrial work at some future day.
| One of the Wells college girls learned the
pretty weaving in the east, and so many
| requests have been made by her friends
| for lessons, that she consented to teach
| them for a small sum- which Is to form
a part of the endowment fund for her
alma mater. The Wells college girls will
have fair Friday afternoon and evening
at the home Of Mrs. S. A. Harris, and it
was first suggested that the head weaver
| give lessons there as an added attraction
but so many wanted to take them, and
the time was SD limited that it was finally
decided to have only an exhibit of chains
belts and fobs and make the lessons an
other means of raising money for the en-
dowment fund.
! One can learn to weave in two lessons
the first lesson is usually on chain
White linen thread is used to string the
loom and a cotton thread for weaving
The old Indian method Is used, and the
beginner usually copies some of the sim.
pie Indian bands. The oriental designs
are also easily adapted to the bead work
and some Of tho girls are clever enough
to make their own patterns.
/ Bead work has taken the place Of rata
at the thimble bees, and the woman who
hasn't loom strung for work is dis
| satisfied until she can secure one. Al
Mrs Chester Simmons the other after
! noon there were half dozen women
learning to weave, all gathered around
the teacher who skilfully untangled knots
and solved difficulties.
Although weaving Is not at all diff.
cult and can be learned in two lessons

cannot find time for even two lessons ant
