IS
NOT DISTURBED
Church Matters Go on as il
Bishop Was Far
Away.

There was not a word uttered at the
two services of the Second Congrega-
ton of ST. Andrews which would have
led the stranger to judge that there
was a crisis in the affairs of the par
ish.
During the morning service Dr.
Macintosh made the announcements
of the week. Meetings of the two par
ish guilds were announced for Wednes-
day evening, to be held in the Sab
bath school room, and it was said also
that the confirmation class would meet
this afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
In no word was there suggestion that
interference might cause any failure
of the regular routine of services. The
congregation was in no wise disposed
to take any other view of the situation
than that which offered in the rector's
acceptance of the situation, and as a
result there was no general criticism
of the bishop, but christianity resig-
nation.

WOULD NOT
MEET THE QUEEN
Why Mrs. Cleveland Left the
White House in
Dudgeon.
Especial 20 the Advertiser.)

/ SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-The Los
Angeles Times tells the following story
of Queen LiIiuokalanis first visit to
table monarch:
The return of former Queen Liliuo-
kalani to Washington has caused mucn
speculation as to how she will be re-
ceived IN official circles With the
Booker T. Washington dinner in mind
there are those who affect to believe
that the dusky former potentate will
be invited to dine at the White House.
But of course this is mere surmise.
But even though she does not get
the Roosevelt welcome, she can be de-
gossip. Her first visit to Washington
during the Cleveland administration is
talked Of to this day. At that time she
was a royal claimant.
President Cleveland invited her to
tread the red carpet of the Executive
Mansion, and even sent n messenger to
Mrs Cleveland saying he desired her to
meet the dusky visitor. Mrs Cieveland's
answer was such that diplomacy re-
uuired that it be communicated to the
President in a whisper. Mr.. Cleveland
got red in the face and returned a per-
emptory order TO his wife to appear.
A few moments later Mrs. Cleveland,
lightly dressed, brushed past a Surpris
ed group of visitors at the White House
and entered the snow and rain and
bluster of q terrible March storm. She
walked unattended to Dan Lamont's
house. just across Lafayette Square,
and didn't return till late at night. No
such domestic perturbation. however, Is
expected in the case of the Roosevelts.
If the deposed queen follows her GUS
tom she Will erect a throne in the
hotel at which she stops, and exact
obeisance from ali who wish to ap-
proach her. On previous occasions the
strip of carpet leading to this throne
cid not show the wear and tear of
many feet.

Mrs. Campbell Would Not Consent to
Wedding Until a Financial Under
standing Had Been Reached.
George Gear and George Davis Sprung Some
Hawaiian Oratory at the Dinner Where the
Engagement Was Announced.

F., With all the eclat possible to the
handsome Hawaiian Mr.. Parker said:
! Ladies and gentlemen: 1t is with
the greatest pleasure that L inform you
OF the engagement of Miss Abbie
Campbell and Prince David Havana
nakoa. L congratulate the bride-elect
and the prospective groom. Let us all
drink to their lifelong happiness"
Sam drained his glass and looked
over at George a. Davis, who is on a
strictly water diet. Davis in flood of
choice oratory covered all points of the
romance. Hei was at his best and
amazed and pleased the quiet San
Joseans by the beauty of the oratorical
bouquets which he gracefully flung at
Miss Campbell. Prince David. Mrs.
Campbell, Sam Parker. and everybody
within reach.
Davis said in part: 1T would be un-
becoming in me to eulogize the virtues
of the Prince because it is well-known
that 1 was closely connected with him
as a brother of tie mystic tie, and as
close personal friend; but I could say
that 1 value his friendship and sterling
qualities and was not surprised that
he had won the heart of one of Ha-
waits fairest daughters. But it is
passing strange that the Republican
National Committeeman from Hawaii
should announce the engagement of the
Democratic candidate who opposed him
at the first Congressional fight in Ha-
waii.
The closing years of the century are
full of wonders. and therefore 1 cease
to be puzzled. The club, the race track
and all lovers of true sport and all good
fellows in Honolulu and throughout the
Territory will join with me in congrat-
uIating the Prince-who is a prince by
nature as well as by name-upon the
successful termination of his suit
When Davis had closed. Judge Geo.

THE TRADE Of THE ISLANDS
WITH THE MAINLAND MARKET

mated from the reports. We find con-
firmation of this view in the tonnage
statistics which have been kept up.
Vessels are not employed in this trade
for the simple purpose of airing sails
or consuming fuel. Some trips are nee
essarify made with light cargoes up or
in ballast at the close OF athe sugar
season, because of the scarcity of that
sort of freight, but these have not
been any more numerous OF late than
formerly. 1t is rare that vessels are
sent TO the Islands otherwise than
with full cargoes, while more large
ships have been used than formerly.
1t may be rather crude way of get
ting at the value of exports to the Ha-
waiian Islands by averaging carSoes
by the total number of vessels cleared
into the gross amount of the annual
exports. But this is the only rule that
can row be applied. In the fiscal year
of 1SgS-99 the exports from San Fran
cisco TO the Hawaiian Islands were
valued at S!515.S sos. This total included
small shipments by steamers en- route
to Australia and China The number
of straight clearances from this port
to the Islands in that cereal year was
175 This number divided into the
above total showed an average of s45.-
coo to each vessel as the value of the
cargo. In the fiscal year of 1S99-00 in
Guiding the same value for the last half
OF June as for the first half of that
month. these exports were valued at
S11. 1913. AS there We're 203 straight
hence TO the Islands for that
year. the average was 500 900 To each
vessel Some. if not all, of this increase
Is due to the larger class OF vessels
employed. If only the same average be
used to the 19S straight clearings hence
for the Islands in the fiscal year 10000,
the gross exports for the last fiscal
year We're valued at SO. 0.615 GOO. If any
one can make a closer guess TO the
total for that year we shall be glad to
accent it-Bulietin

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4-No trade
statistics between the United States
and the Hawaiian Islands have been
kept by the Bureau of Statistics since
June II. 1900. >Nhen the customs laws
of the country were applied to the ISL
and group. which has since been treat
ed as American territory, and Of course
placed in the same category as other
domestic coast ports. Uncle Sam pays
no attention to the trade between San
Francisco and Portland, and since
June IA. 1900, has paid no attention to
trade between San Francisco and Ho-
nolulu and other Island ports. The
dropping out of these trade statistics
from the general compilation of Ameri-
the grand total but it makes a very
serious difference to the size of the
commerce of San Francisco, since
about % per cent of the trade of this
port has been with the Islands. and
the dropping out Of such a percentage
from the statistics works to our disad-
tage in all comparisons of our port
with other ports, as 90 per cent of this
trade has always centered here.
We do not think there has been any
falling off in either the imports from
these Islands to the Mainland, or the
exports from the Mainland to the ISL
ands since the new customs arrange
ments went into effect. Up to the clos
ing of all statistical information as to
the values of this trade the volume of
commerce showed "a steady increase
from year TO year for several years,
and ii is perhaps safe TO assume that
the same ratio of expansion has con-
tinued since such statistics were elimi-

~ AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-The en-
gagement of Prince David ana
~ Miss Campbell was announced at
dinner given by Miss Campbell in
the st. James hotel in San Jose, and
the Hon. Samuel Parker was the
spokesman for the fair and rich Ha-
waiian girl who sat blushing by the
side of Prince David. The declaration
of the engagement came after a fort
night of coy denials by the Prince
sweetheart, and after considerable
parleying by Mrs. Campbell, the moth
er of the coming bride. Prince David
has a poor reputation for thrift, and
Mrs. Campbell did not give her con-
sent to her daughters betrothal until
the prospective groom and she had
reached a thorough understanding as
to settlement OF Miss Campbelrs for
tune.
The mediation of-ColoneI Parker did
much to win success for David, and
Judge Gear and George Davis also aid
ed in argument for the suitor.
A week ago invitations We're issued
to forty close friends of the Campbells.
and of Prince David to dine with Miss
Campbell at the st. James hotel, on
New Years evening. Two hundred
prominent San Joseans were hidden to
a ball which followed the dinner.
The tables were arranged in the form
of {. parallelogram and were gorgeous
ly decorated, as was the banquet hall.
The color scheme was pink and the de-
signs included large lamp shades, rib
bons and festoons arranged in an artis-
tic and harmonious manner. Smilax
and holly in wreaths were twined
about the windows. The glow of
hundred electric lights made brilliant
the room. The tables were strewn with
The choicest flowers of California. The
guests were seated about $50 O'Clock.

A Clever California Woman.

California boasts Of girl who has
been the foreman of a thrashing crew
and successfully harvested season of
grain. Her name is Ethel Hobson.
Her father is a rancher of San Luis
Obispo County. He had a thrashing
outfit with all modern improvements,
and for fifteen years has harvested
grain for the country. His daughter
has always been his close companion.
and when she was but little girl
played about the harvesting machln-
cry in the field. For the last three
years since she was sixteen she has
been his bookkeeper. In this capacity
she has gone with him from ranch to
ranch, camping out in tent at night.
This year at the height of the season
Mr.. 'Hobson met with an accident,
which laid him up for the summer and
rendered 1t impossible for him to fill
his contracts. 1t was then that his
daughter proved her ability to carry
on the business, which she has done
with marked success. She took her
fathers place as captain Of the big
machine in the field. Every detail she
superintended herself, from the en-.
gine to the separator. Twenty three
men worked under her direction. Some
were reputed to be hard characters,
but one and all obeyed her orders to
the letter.

HAVE CROWS A LANcUAGE2
Many Curious Facts That Go to Justify
the Theory.

many CURIOUS lnuU NO 10 Ouetiiy
the Theory.
There is some reason for calling an
owl the bird of wisdom; and yet there
Is cause for wondering If the crow Is
not mentally his superior. Crows are
not disheartened by the gloom of late
autumn. If the fog is too dense to
fly through it, they rise above it or
trot about the ground, discussing the
situation with their fellows. Is this
speaking too positively? I have long
been familiar with an observing man
who has lived all his days within sight
and hearing of crows. He claims to
understand their language, and can
repeat the words that make up their
vocabulary. Certainly crows seem to
talk; but do they? Does certain
sound made by them have always The
one significance? Ytlr after year 1
have listened and watched, watched
and listened, and wondered If my
friend was right. He believes it. I
believe it-almost. Are there limita-
tions to pathological Interpretation?
And is this an instance where truth
is unattainable?
We know that crows are cunning and
by their mother wit have withstood the
prosecutions Of mankind; we know
that they have wide range Of ut
terances, and not one is put forth
merely to crafty the ear, as in the
case of thrush's song; yet we hesitate
to say plainly that crow talketh unto
crow and that they take counsel to-
gether. There is no physical or meta
physical reason why this should not
be the case; there is abundance evil
dence pointing in that direction, but
no actual demonstration, satisfying
everyone, has taken place.
Were we less theory ridden and more
observant, the question would have
been settled before this. In such q
case the opinion Of the farmer is worth
more than that of q professional orni-

When a Locomotive Blows Up.

"I am one Of the very few persons
who ever saw a locomotive blow up"
remarked an old railroad man the
other day. Generally the men who
witness the explosion of a steam en-
gine are so dead when the smoke has
cleared away that they are never able
to give an account of the disaster.
Like many other accidents, the one
I saw was the result of carelessness-
low water in the boiler, for the en-
gine had just come from the shops
and was in complete repair. 1t was
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
in West Virginia q number of years
ago. I was on locomotive some dis-
tance behind the one which exploded
and was looking ahead out Of the cab
window, so that the ill-fated engine
was Immediately before my eyes. Sud
denly l saw the machine rise in the
air; it seemed to me to be about as
high as the telegraph poles beside the
track, which, as you doubtless know,
are not so high as telegraph poles in
the city. Then came cloud Of dense
black smoke and dust, whlch hld the
engine from view, and almost simul-
taneously 1 heard the roar Of the ex-
plosion.
"Both the engineer and the fireman
were killed, and the locomotive was
fit for nothing much but the scrap
heap when it fell to the ground. The
crown sheet oves the fireboX had
blown out.
"The strange thing about the explo-
sion was that no white steam was
seen. You know perfectly dry steam
is invisible, being like the air. and
before it had time to condense it was
probably smothered by the cloud Of
smoke and dust raised by the bursting

After Many Years.

Very curious was the scene enacted
in a popular uptown table dhote
restaurant one evening recently. y
middle-aged gentleman Of distinguished
appearance entered and found a
seat at the only vacant small table.
He had scarcely been seated before
almost his exact counterpart in facial
appearance entered and was ushered
to the seat opposite him-the only un-
occupied seat. Each naturally looked
at the other, and was struck by the
wonderful resemblance.
1t was evident that they We're
strangers.
Their respective orders served, the
onlookers We're amused to find them
taking furtive glances at each other
with wonderment and bewilderment
depicted on their features.
Finally one of them ventured to say
to- the other that his name was -
and that the family resemblance of
the other was most striking.
II ha J twin brother" he said, "but
he was lost in his infancy in going
from England to Australia"
mo, he was not lost" was the reply.
"He was rescued by a passing ship
and taken to Melbourne and reared
by the man who had picked him up
out OF the sea as his son. Recently on
his death, l learned the secret OF my
life and 1 am now on my way to Eng
land to hunt up my family"
A hasty comparison of dates recalled
the fact that the two were twins
hence their wonderful family resem-
blance-reunited by singular circum-
stance after separation since early
youth.-New York Time.

Gowns of Varied Beauty,

1t Will be remembered that certain
princess in the fairy tales had gown
which she used to carry round In a
walnut shell when on her travels. Just
such froclS was shown the other day
at one of the smart faiseurs'. 1t could
almost have been passed through q
ring. 1t was gathered all round and
opened over a petticoat of tulle con-
fined by the newest Of satin bows and
boasting the most delightful little
pointed waistcoat, fashioned of pink
silk and silver embroidery and own
ing the dearest little sleeves of lace,
caught up with a ribbon Of soft satin.
The whole bore suggestion Of the
days Of Marie Antoinette, and one
longed to see it worn by fair girl
whose golden locks would be worn
somewhat high over cushion wreath
ed with pink roses and one long curl
falling on the left shoulder.
Another evening dress was poppy
red crepe de chine, lovely glowing
creation. the color of which was thrown
up by two full-blown roses in white
mousseline diamente. There was an
idealzed Louis Seize frock In blue,
painted with vioiets, and with raised
violets in chiffon, and ruffles Of lace
and diamond buttons on the most be-
coming little coat.-New York Com

Cot a SID Pearl With His oysters.

Morgan II. Morgan, file clerk in the
office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court,
in company with several friends,
lunched in a restaurant at Clark and
Randolph streets, and, among other
things, the entire party partook Of
fried oysters. Morgan picked out a
large, juicy one, and was beginning
to eat it with q relish, when his teeth
grated on hard substance.
He removed the object from his
mouth and was about to tell the waiter
that he had not ordered his oysters to
be seasoned with gravel, when his at
tention was attracted by the reflection
of the light upon the object he had
thrown upon the table. Investigation
showed that it was a pearl Of good
size.
Morgan put the pearl in his pocket,
and after leaving the restaurant Went
to the cffice of a lapidary in the
Champlain Building, where he was
offered $14 for the gem. He took the
money.-Chicago 1nter-Ccean.

French Waists.

Smart fancy waists are much in de-
mand to wear with the coats and
skirts so necessary to ones comfort.
For day wear-that is, for morning
wear with cloth costumes-there is
quite variety in taffeta waists, the
newest taffetas being changeable ones,
trimmed with narrow lines Of black
velvet. There is a curious greon-red
ehangeable taffeta of very soft, plia-
BILE weave that is very good, and looks
well with black velvet and white lace
trimmings. The tucked and pleated
waists are the favorite ones; the pleats
medium-slzed box-pleats no trimming
in the back, and in the front round
yoke or pleats with the lines OF velvet
These waists, as rule, are In dark
colors, but some Of the lighter taffetas
are used, and the rather heavier silks
with cord like those formerly known
as gros grains. There Is a shade Of
pinl1lsh blue that Is very good in this
silk; oddly enough, 1t is trimmed with
a very light blue velvet ribbon. There
are many regular shirt waists in fan
mel, silk, corduroy and velveteen, made
in the very plainest fashion, but they
are not what can be called very smart,
and are only possible with rainy-day
gowns, or for market.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

Peers Who Are Minors.

About a dozen peers who are still.
minors may view with unconcern the
orders regulating the form of cos
tune to be worn at the forthcoming
coronation which have just been pro-
mulgated by the Earl Marshal. These
include the Marquis Conyngham, who
at the time of the coronation will be
nineteen; Lord Camoys, who will be
eighteen; Lord de Clifford, seventeen;
the Duke of Leinster, Viscount Tor
rington, Lord Somers and Lord
Holmpatrick, fifteen; the Earl of Mac
clesield, fourteen; Lord Vernon, thir-
teen, and Viscount Exmouth, eleven.
The case of the marquis of Butte is
perhaps the most interesting, as his
lordship only attains his majority
about six or seven days prior to the
date of the coronation. Assuming,
therefore, that the upper house has
not adjourned, it will be quite pos
sible for the young peer to take his
seat in Parliament and few days
later to be present at the stately cere-
mony in Westminster Abbey, wearing
his robes and coronet.-London Tele-
graph.
