OUR MEAT SUPPLY.

The extraordinary advance in the
price of meats on the mainland to.
gether with the legal proceedings in.
sttuted by President Roosevelt to
quash the so-called Beef Trust, are of
interest to all householders in Hawaii
The existence Of a contract or combi-
nation between the Chicago packers
seems to be proven by the agreement
which is published in the supplement
of today's Sunday Bulletin.
Some of the figures given are very
interesting. showing an advance Of
two and one.half cents in the cost Of
prime beef as charged to the butcher
within two months. An advance of
from two to four cents a pound charg.
ed on beef, mutton and lamb at retail,
as compared with year ago, is the
tax imposed upon the consumer.
AS 1t has been customary to supply
Honolulu with meat very largely from
the Pacific Coast, 1t is gratifying to
learn from Mr.. Gilbert J. Waller, OF
the Metropolitan meat market that
Hawaii is at present Independent OF
the mainland for its supply of meat
Where shipments of three hundred
carcasses of beef and one thousand
sheep used to be brought here by each
regular incoming steamer. we are now
getting next to nothing, the people Of
the Islands being supplied from Oahu
Hawaii and Molokai Better prices are
being paid for Territorial beeves and
sheep, and 1t is exceedingly gratifying
to know that the improvement in val
ues here is going directly into the
pockets OF the producers of stock IN
this Territory.
The information which lis supplied
by Mr.. Waller and which is given IN
our regular news columns, is of direct
and immediate interest.

International polo contests will be.
gin between American and English
players next Saturday. Great interest
has been taken both in the personnel
and In the proficiency of the American
team since their arrival in England.
They have been practicing at Rugby
and their first days play was rather a
revelation to the Britishers. The
American ponies prove equal to the
best on the other side. but the most
surprising feature of the play of the
Americans was their extraordinary
quickness on the ball. Their comb.
nation is described by English critics
as admirable and their hitting per.
feet. The result of next Saturdays
game will be awaited with consider.
able interest. In the meantime, the
polo enthusiasts of Honolulu can
study the portraits of the American
players and their ponies In today's
supplement Of the Bulletin.

an error of Judgment, perfectly honest,

AGE AND MARRIAGE

For many years Is has been the
custom of the friends Of Chauncey De.
pew to entertain him at a dinner at
the Montauk Club upon the occasion
OF his birthday. The 61st celebration
was recently held and the Senator was
presented with a birthday cake by Q
young lady who marched into tho
dining room. representing Columbia
and escorted by rough rider, a sail.
or and band.
In his after dinner speech the New
York Senator took occasion to refer to
the event which had happened in his
life since the previous similar annual
celebration of the club, and emphasize.
ed his belief that It was not good for
man to be alone. Having tried both
single blessedness and marriage SUM-
GENTLY 10 thoroughly test the ques
ton, Mr.. Depew had come to the con.
clusion that marriage Was not d fail
ure.
Passing from this subject, Senator
Depew dilated upon the advantage OF
being old. When he was 81 years Of
age he thought man Of forty very old
and that he ought to retire. When he
himself reached the age OF forty he
felt that a man Of sixty had grown Sc
nile and worthless, and when he him.
self reached sixty his opinions we're
reversed and he felt that fifty and for.
ty and thirty and twenty knew but lit,
tie of the pleasures OF existence. Now
he is looking forward to the seventies
and he referred to other United Sta,es
Senators, his seniors, such as Allison.
Morgan. Hoare, Plat Of Connecticut.
Frye, Cullom, Vest, Hawley, Bates.
Jones of Nevada, Stewart, Proctor.
Gibson and Teller, without whose un.
divided cooperation no measure could
ever pass the higher chamber OF the
national legislature.
Speaking of the enormous wealth in
the United States, Senator, Dcpew
said that when he graduated from
Yale there were only two multi.mil'
lionaires in the country, John Jacob
Aston and Commodore Vanderbilt, and
neither of them had then reached the
ten-million limit. There were not In
the whole country twenty people
worth a million dollars, whereas to.
day there are more than one hundred
men in Pittsburg alone who have lass.
ed that figure. The vast fortunes since
accumulated and held by individuals
are today regarded he says, as mat
ter Of curiosity and the possessors OF
wealth have invariably shown wise
generosity in its distribution. The
total sum known to have been given

anthropic and patriotic purposes. ag

Money that 10 distributed 80 gener'
ously in this shape tends to the better
education OF more and more Ameri'

Washington, d. c., is having a ht-

departments with tales OF starvation,

AS an instance. 1t may be mentioned
that several Senators recently inter.
ested themselves to secure job worth
two dollars day for a man who. a
few years ago. was a millionaire, at
tending the Minnesota convention in
his special car.
