Over $4,000, 600 pieces of mail were
handled in the Honolulu Office from
November 1, 1900, to December 1, 1901,
which gives a fair estimate of the i'm
portance of the postal service in the
Hawaiian Islands. These figures are
based on averaging the contents of GER
tain sacks Of mail picked at random.
T. is estimated that a paper sack con-
tains so pieces, but, as a general thing,
there are usually double that number.
and thus the figures given above are
supposed to be far under the actual

a record to be proud of since Uncle

be Apt to Act Cautiously.

Brussels, Feb. 16.-It is said that
the desire to keep secret the depart
ure of DR.. Mueller. the former con-
sui of the Orange Free State in Hol-
land, for the United States, was so
keen that the Boer emissary booked
his passage under an assumed name.
According to information from re-
sponsible Boer quarters, Mr.. Kruger's
letter to President Roosevelt, of
which DR.. Mueller is the bearer, does
not appeal for intervention, but ex-
presses regret that he is unable at
present to personally congratulate
President Roosevelt on his accession,
and concludes with a gratifed allu-
sion to the numerous invitations to
visit the great republic which have
arrived and are still arriving.
Besides recognizing the Boer
propaganda in the United States, DR..
Mueller will direct his efforts 'prin-
cipally to obtaining government pro-
hibition of the expectation of articles
regarded by the Beers as c%ontraband
of war, thus indirectly eliciting an
opinion on the war by the United
States government.
DR.. Mueller is supported by wealthy
Boer s~ympathizers in Europe and has
great hopes regarding the result Of
his mission.

HE CLINcHED 1T.

Erie, Kans., Feb. 17th.-In July of
1900, W. III. Ketchum of this place was
suddenly seized with a violent pain in
his back. He says he supposed it was
q "stitch' and would soon pass away.
but it lasted five months and caused
him great soreness, so that he was
barely able to keep out of bed. He be-
came alarmed and consulted a doctor
which only increased his anxiety and
did him no good.
A friend who had some experience
advised him to use Dodd's Kidney
Pills. Mr.. Ketchum began with six
pills a day and in a week was well and
the soreness all gone. However, this
did not satisfy him for he says:
81 thought I would clinch the cure
with another box and T did. I have
had no recurrence of the trouble since
and as this is over a year ago I am
thoroughly convinced that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have completely cured me-"

UNCLE BILLY AND BRICKBATS.
With the Old Man Economy Was a
Science That Was Illustrated
in II Novel Manner.

That ignorance is bliss, and that
the Hottest man should be the hum
blest, are two somewhat irrevelant
aXioms which often are most inter-
esting when traced to their remote
point of conjunction, says the Detroit
Free Press.
"Out in the cemetery, the other
day." a matter-of-fact elderly man
remarked, 81 noticed that Uncle
Billy's tombstone needed straighten-
ing up. A touch would do it, and as
/ pulled it into position l couldn't
help smiling. Now, I was not smiling
at the crooked tombstone, but at an
early recollection-an episode in con-
nection with this same Uncle Billy.
He was a fine man and a power in
his community, but he had been fru-
gally reared-all our first settlers
had to make economy a science, you
know; and even after Uncle Billy had
grown wealthy in the wholesale dry
goods business, he still practiced the
most rigid methods of saving, by
which he had accumulated money. /
was a clerk in a stove store, as we
used to call them, when he was quite
an elderly man. A bachelor he was,
and had a ~spinster sister, Aunt
Sarah, for his housekeeper.
SWELL, he bought a new stove from
us, a fine library stove-no furnaces
at that time in the ordinary homes in
this city. In a day or two he dropped
in to complain that the stove wouldn't
work-didn't throw out heat enough
to warm a cat. He was droll-Uncle
Billy was--but had a fine, ~courtly
bearing, too. The firm sent me out
to his house to see what was the mat
ter with that stove. At the door
Aunt Sarah met me and said in a low
tone: William, if you will make your
Uncle William take a peck of brick
bats out of that stove, + think it will
hold coal enough to warm the room.
"Sure enough, the stove was half
full of brickbats. IL was Uncle
Billy's frugal idea that all stoves held
too much coal for their own good;
and that he could cut down his coal
bills by a deep layer of brickbats in

PROVINCE OF BATANGAS.
The insurrectiOn Practically Wiped
Out by Gov. ReI1-Malvnr he
coming Unpopular.

Manila, Feb. 17.-Gen. j. Franklin
Bell has practically cleaned up the
instruction in Batangas province,
the troops under his command hav-
ing made a clean sweep of the dis
trict. 1t is not believed that all the
insurgent arms have been captured
or surrendered, but that a number
of them have been taken by the in
surgents to other provinces or safely
hidden. The increase of robber
bands in the provinces of Tayabas
and Cavite show the effects of the
drastic measures adopted in Batan-
gas and Lagnna provinces.
Gen. Bell says the people of these
latter provinces never realized the
terrors of var until they personally
experienced its hardships, owing to
the closing of the ports and the con-
%centration of the natives in the
towns.
Gen. Bell believes that the insur-
gent leader Malvar is becoming ex-
ceedingly unpopular with the Fill
pinos, and that when the natives
cease to fear his vengeance, many
will be found willing to betray him.
What has been said of Batangas
province applies almost equally to
Laguna.

Previous to sailing Prince Henry, in
conversation with a press CORE
s%pondent, referred to the report that

The last seen of the prince from

lifted his cap in response to the
cheers of the assembled crowds.
Commander VIM. H. Beehler, U. S.

gram previous to the departure OF

ty Mel Wounded.

Pretoria, Feb. 17.-One hundred and
Fifty mounted infantrymen, while pa
trolling the Kip river, south of Jo-
hannesburg, February ID, surrounded
a farmhouse where they suspected
Beers were in hiding. A single Boer
broke away from the house and the
British started to pursue him. The
Boer climbed a kopje, the British fol
lowing. Immediately a heavy fire
was opened upon them. The British
found themselves in a trap. and in a
position where they were unable to
make any defense. Eight of the Brit
ish officers made a gallant effort and
defended the ridge with carbines and
revolvers until they were overpow-
cred. The British had two officers
and ten men killed and several off
GERS and 40 men wounded before the
force was able to fall back under
cover of n blockhouse.

Washington, Feb. 15.-President
Roosevelt returned to the White
House Friday forenoon in a very hap
py frame of mind after five anxious
days at the bedside of his boy, who
has been critically i'll with pneumo-
MIA at Groton, Mass. The journey
back to the seat of government was
made much more leisurely than the
hasty dash into New England. lastSun-
day, when the presidents anxiety to
reach his son outran the fastest spe-
cial train. The trip to Groton was
made in IA years, but is hours were
consumed in the return. In this
Homecoming the president had a
chance to make three short rear-car
speeches to the crowd at Worcester,
Woonsocket and Providence. In each
he assured the waiting hundreds that
Ted was all right and out of the
woods, and in each case the crowd
seemed as joyous as the president
and cheered v~ociferously. The jour-
ney, after leaving Providence, was
u~neventful. DR.. Lambert, who went
to Groton at the special request of
the president, left the train just be-
fore it was taken on to the ferry
boat Maryland at Harlem river early
Friday morning. The private car did
not go into the Philadelphia station,
and at Baltimore there was no one
except train hands to gaze curiously
into the car of the nations chief ex-
ecutive. The president received no
word from Groton during the trip ex-
cept a few newspaper reports that
the boy was progressing favorably
through the convalescent stage.
There were only a few people at the
Pennsylvania station here when the
tary Loeb met him and the party
was driven rapidly to the White
House.
Miss Alice Roosevelt left for Gro
ton over the Pennsylvania road at
1850 o'clock Friday afternoon. Tt is
expected that if the improvement in
the young mans condition continues
for another week he will be brought
here at the end of that time. Mrs.
Roosevelt and Miss Alice will be in
Washington when Prince Henry ar
rives.

tions that his condition was not per-
fectly satisfactory. At / a. m, the

Mrs. Roosevelt, who went to the in

TRANsPLANTING CONTRACT
rs.babIy the Largest Single Con-
tract Ever Let For Trans-
planting FulI-Grown Trees.

st. Louis, Feb. 13.-Sevep hundred
shade trees will be transplanted On
the Worlds fair site by the Detroit
(Ntieh.l Shade Tree Co. The contract
for this attractive decorative effect
at the exposition was let Tuesday,
by Director of Works Taylor to Ed
gar d. Williamson, president of the
Detroit firm.
Each tree marked by the force of
Landscape Architect Kessler will be
uprooted from its present location
on the site and removed by the con-
tractors to the spot designated along
the avenues, now merely indicated by
the stakes of the engineer corps.
Long before the skeleton frame of
the Varied Industrial building is
raised, the rows of parked trees will
mark the exact size and sweep of the
main boulevards of the fair.
Mr.. Williamson said that his con.
Germ wa equipped to make the entire
transfer in 60 days. He started at
once for Detroit to prepare the bond
which has been eXacted for faithful
performance of the contract. APP
paratus and skilled horticulturists
will accompany him on his return to
st. Louis within the next few days.
He says that he will begin without
any delay as 500 as the bond has
been executed.
President Francis Of the EXPOSE
ton company signed the unique con
tract and Mr.. Williamson affixed his
signature for his company. The tree
contract has attracted more atten-
ton throughout the country and
abroad than the contracts for the
great main exhibit structures of the
Worlds fair. 1t is the largest single
tree-planting contract that has eve
been undertaken in this country, and,
SO far as known, in the world.
The required number of trees for
replanting have not been marked on
the site, and it is possible that the
total number will not be obtained
from among the sylvan sisterhood
which has been spared from the de-
stroying ak of the engineer. The con
tract with the Detroit company pro-
vides that wherever the supply of the
Worlds fair company is short. the
contractor shall provide trees. Where
a tree which has been marked for
transplanting does not seem to meet
the regulations, a new tree shall be
furnished by the contractor, at a GER
tain allowance to be made. by the
Worlds fair company. The figures at
which the contract was let do not
appear in the statement made in on
nection with the giving out of the
work.
