The bounty fed sugar producing ma
tions as France, Germany, Austria
Hungary, use much less per capita
than the countries to which the sugar
is exported. The reason for this is the
heavy tax which is locally laid on the
article to enable the sugar to be ex-
ported. 1t was against this system
that the Brussels conference levelled
it's rulings.
The poorest countries of Europe use
the least amount of sugar thus, while
the United Kingdom uses 916 pounds
per capita, and the United States 65.2
pounds per capita, Spain only uses
1915 pounds, Turkey so, Greece ~, and
Italy but 6.1 pounds per head. And
Greece at one time, in the far away
classic times, was famed for it's sac
charine products. The bees of Mount
Hymettus supplied honey, the only
sweetening substance t hen known
not only to Athens and Attica,
but their product found it's way
to Rome. AS the ancients depend
ed upon honey for their sweeten-
ing matter it is no wonder that they
took so much interest in their bees, and
illusions to and dissertations upon bees
occur in both in prose and verse in all
the classic writer's.
We care very little for honey, but we
care a great deal for cane sugar. We
should all be acquainted with its his
tory, its price, it's success and it's COM
petition, for it is by cane sugar we
live. Take sugar away and the Islands
go back sixty years.

The latest advices from the leper set
Element show that the feeling against
Wilcox is growing more bitter as the
lepers realize what he is going to do
with them, if he can only carry out his
ideas. Every leper who dies win have
a post Elortem upon his or her 5ody,

ers will be forwarded to all the medical
museums in the world. If there is any
thing which is repugnant to the Ha-

the lepers will be treated as prisoners,
their little homes win be broken up,
kokuas viii be sternly forbidden the
settlement, and there will be a season
of helpless misery among the unfor-
Inmates. This proposal comes from the

Marshal Hendry keeps his eyes open
for the gentleman who are wanted"
by the United States authorities.
Through information supplied by him
an absconding witness, in a very inn
portant case, has been run down by
the federal authorities. Honolulu and
the Hawaiian Islands generally are no
longer a haven to which the criminal
and the absconder can fly and be at
rest, starting out afresh and rising to
the position of dignified and wealthy
citizen. The Islands used to be the
absconder's paradise, but they have
ceased to be so. Federal and Terri
torial officers make them of more than
average tropic heat.

CENSUS FIGURES.

Making all allowances, people seem
to live longer than they used to in the
United States. This is the conclusion
to be drawn from the figures given in
a statement issued by the Census Office
in which the median age of the pOpuld-
tion under the census of 1900 is COM
pared with that under several preceding
censuses. 1t may be explained here
thar the median age is such an age that
half the population is over it and half
under it.
The median age of the total poplation
in 1900 was 22.S, as compared with 21.9
in 1890. The median age of the white
population is higher than that of the
colOred portion, being 23.4 in 1900, as
compared with 1871 for negroes, Indians
and Mongolians. In 1890 the figures

While The Star advocates the candi-
dacyrof f. w. Macfarlane for the posi-
ton of Treasurer, if he will accept the
office, there are others who, failing Mr..
Macfarlane, The Star would be willing
to support The preponderance, how
ever, is distinctly in favor Of Mr., Mac
farlane, for he has many advantages
over any other candidate proposed.
His strong association with the Ha-
waiian element in the community is at
this time very ccgent argument In his
favor. When one adds to this his high
financial standing among the business
community and his organizing abihty
he certainly is a candidate worth sup
porting. Ii we want to restore thor
ough confidence MIR. Macfarlane is GER
tainly the man to do it quickly, and do
1T thoroughly. But then Mr.. Macfar-
lane may refuse to accept.

lent treasurer to be found in Theodore

We're pa for the whites and 1873 for the
colored people. There seems to have
been an increase in the median age of
the white population during each de-
cade from 1910 to 1900. In the ninety
years intervening the increase amount
ed to IA years.
OF course a number of influences have
cO-operated in bringing about this re-
suit. Three are specially mentioned,
namely the rapid progress of medical
and sanitary science, which has tended
to increase the average length of life;
the decrease in the relative number OF
children born, which has made the
earlier-age periods less preponderant
numerically in the total population, and
the influx especially since 1910 of great
numbers of adult immigrants increas-
ing the number in the older-age periods.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Trade Large and Active. Sep

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-There was large
and active trade in wheat today, and the
principal feature to the market was
further covering by September shorts.
The strength in that option induced some
of the shorts in December to cover. The
market ruled firm all day and closed at
a slight reaction from high point. For

bled an estimate, which comes from

crop at 1900, 600 bushels. the largest on
record. Cash demand was very quiet.

wheat this year far surpasses that of
last season, as IL produces a stronger
and uniformly better flour. Estimated

day, and mostly all of local profess
sional character. The market ruled quiet

There was less pressure to sell by grain
men. but there was selling by one of the
leaders of September and October lard
early Later the market was firmer and
closed with small gains for the trade.
The trade was quite heavy and the
cheapness of distant futures is bringing
in a good class of buyers. Cash trade
shows improvement, but is not urgent in
the least.

While upon this subject. it is to be
noted that practically all of the $751;
600 600 of bonds offered have been taken
by the Union Pacific stockholders in ex-
ercise of their right to subscribe to
them to the extent of Is per cent of their
holdings of stock. 1t appears, therefore,
that the underwriting syndicate will
have the handling of a very few bonds.
AS against the temporary collection of
the first payment toward these bonds
there has been an Offset in the money
market this week. namely, the distribu-
tion of $4,000, 900 among the members

for some time. The rate for call loans
advanced to per cent, and the ruling
rate was per cent, which was l per

money market was also a little firmer,
but according to all accounts there is
not much demand for that form of ac-
