class club house and restaurant there
during the coming season. She has also
leased a number of the cottages in that
neighborhood and intends to improve
them. Mrs. Corbett has conducted Sun
Flower camp most successfully for the
past two seasons, and her enlarged scope
of business will be good news to her
many friends, as she is known as the
hospitable hostess quite as much as she
is the successful business woman. The
Casino was vacant during the past
season, and its location just at the term
ination of passenger trattics makes it one
of the most desirable business places in

ness at the same time; one uses all the
money he makes IN living we'll, and
sometimes even extravagantly. The
other invests all the surplus cash that
he can lay his hands on in advertising
here, there, everywhere that he thinks
will attract notice. What is the result?
The man who advertises has crowds
aocking to his shop to see the beauties
of the advertised goods, and as the
public begin to run so they will continue
from sheer force of habit. The first
shop keeper will in the meantime be
sitting untheught of and uncared for,
aghast the crowds that daily throng the
counters of his competitor and bitterly
bewailing the bad luck which has
followed his own venture into trade.
Yet he has no one to blame but himself.

Mr.. Newlands Do you know what
value sugar lands have in Hawaii?
Mr.. Haywood: They have increased
wonderfully since annexation.
Mr.. Newlands: Do you know what
the prevailing price was prior to an
nexation and what It has been since
annexation?
MIR. Haywood: No; I do not know
what the price was before annexation
OF course the value of land was fixed
by its use and what it produced. You
see. we have some lands-now, the

FLUFF'S CHARITY
BY KATHERINE BIRDSALL.

Fluff was about as good and about
as bad as the ordinary kitten, and she
never tired OF playing with her little
mistress. When Marjorie was tired
out. Fluff was contented to snuggle
down in her lap and purr herself to
sleep. Some one had presented Mar
jorie with some knitting needles and
bright red worsteds, and the little girl
was struggling TO knit what her grand
mother called comforter for dear
papa to wrap about his neck during
the long drive to the station each
morning. for Majorie lived in the
country and her father had to come to
the city to business every day. Fluff
found that knitting was very attract.
i've work. for she could be half asleep
and watch the needles moving to and
fro, and when the balls of wOrsted
rolled to the floor she could jump
down after them. If Marjorie didn't
discover her loss Fun would have
quite a game all by herself unwlnd!ng
and snarling the worsted to her heart s
content. II Marjorie discovered this,
Fluff was sure to be scolded and then
severely kissed for her misbehavior.
On this particular afternoon Fluii
had been put up on Mariorie's shout
der to go to sleep, and the needles
were clicl.lng busily.
Kitty, dear" Marjorie was saying
81 almost wish | had made this some
other color-I'm getting tired Of red
and gray aren't you?"
"Pwrpwrpwrpwr," answered Fluff In
her ear.
"Clickety.click," went the needles
and Fluffs blinking eyes closed and
her purrIng grew softer and softer.
Suddenly she was sure she saw botf
balls of worsted roll 10 the floor, anC
in a fash down she scrambled aftel
them. Down. down. down, the foo,
had surely never been so far away be

she came nearer the balls, she discov

Mr.. Haywood: No, sir.
MIR. Newlands: DO they live with

Mr.. Haywood: No, sir.
Mr.. Newlands How is It?
Why Chinese Are Leaving.

one. How mary such laborers would
be upon that plantation?
Mr.. Haywood: Fifteen hundred men
on Oahu, 500 on Waikiki, and SIS on
Honomu.
Mr.. Newlands: What is the reason
of the disproportion between the Jap
anese and Chinese in those islands
Mr.. Haywood: Because we have moi
received any Chinese now for sever
or eight years and they have been go
ing back, and we have lost them with
out receiving any in return.
Mr. Newlands That diminutior
started under our Chinese exclusion
laws?
Mr.. Haywood: No; just after the
overthrow. Its constitution started
of by saying that II was only to re
main in power long enough to Obtain
annexation to the United States, anC
then fearing that having a law OF
their statute books permitting Chimes,
to come in. which was so contrary t
the sentiment of the American people
would be against them, they copied al
most exactly the Geary law.

Mr.. Haywood: Well, yes, sir.
MIR. Newlands: That would make
5000 laborers.
MIR. Haywood: Yes.
Mr.. Newlands: why are there not
more Hawaiians employed ON the
plantations?
MIR. Haywood: Because we give the
Hawaiians the very best labor we
have to perform. They do the steve.
doring work and they drive and they
work on the stock ranches. They are
particularly fond of horses and they
are valuable
Mr.. Newlands: They are employed
as a rule in other vocations, then?
Mr.. Haywood: Yes, sir; and on the
plantations doubt very much II you
would find a manager who would ask
a Hawaiian to irrigate or strip or cut
cane.
Mr.. Newlands: Why Is that-be'
cause 1t is regarded as an inferior
class of labor?
MIR. Haywood: Yes, sir; II is harder
and we do not pay as much for that
labor.

Everything is skilled but the men wht

Proflt.Sharing System.

Mr.. Newaids: And thereafter you
resorted to the japanese labor?
Mr.. Haywood: Yes.
Mr.. Newlands: is that as satisfac.
tory as the Chinese labor?
Mr.. Haywood: do not wish to criti-

better. would like to say that we
have tried the proilt-sharing system
Mr.. Newlands: With the laborers?
MIR. Haywood: Yes. sir. 1t has prov.
ed very satisfactory. both to the plan.
tations and to the laborers. Those la.
borers who work that way receive on
an average from s1.25 to $3.50 day
for their labor and the plantations
like 1t better than hiring them by the
month at 500 per month.
Men From Porto Rico.
Mr.. Newlands: Do you have any diff
ficulty in getting laborers from Porto
Rico to go there?
Mr.. Haywood: No; think not.
Mr.. Newlands: But 1t cost you about
5000 head to get them there?
Mr. Haywood: Yes, sir.

large sum Tor steamship travel and &c
