Landscapes by Charles II. Davis.

At Clausen's Gallery Charles n. Davis
Is holding an exhibition that will remain
open until March /.
He lives and works in Mystic, Conn,
and the thirty-three landscapes shown here
have the intimate feeling that comes Of
thorough comprehension and affection.
The comprehension is not only one of feel
ing. Mr.. Davis is an eminently skilful
draughtsman. with a profound knowledge
of construction and form and a practised
ability TO interpret both. Ground, water
and sky are drawn with an assurance that
establishes a sound foundation of fact for
the overlap Of delicate sentiment. One
may easily overlook the Importance Of
this. until some day one ind oneself before
a picture that has much evident charm
and vet fails to be convincing. Then one
realizes that the sentiment is but a pleasant
veneer, unsupported by substantially;
and what for the moment was pleasurable
becomes by further acquaintance i%ntoler-
ably unsatisfactory mere sentimentality.
The moods of nature represented in this
collection are varied, but all are ~convinc-
ingly rendered. 70 signalize certain pict-
ures would be only TO express ones in
dividual preference. | would rather call
attention to the consistent excellence Of
this exhibition and leave TO each visitor
an undisturbed selection OF what appeals
to him most.

NITRATE MEN on STRIKE.
ChIle's Greatest Export Business Dis
turbcd by Labor Troubles.

Nitrate OF soda Is the largest sou
Of Chile. II IL obtained along the north
coast Of that republic, a little inland, and
comprises three-ffths Of the value Of all
commodities Chile sells TO the rest OF the
world. II Ii cum in the desert and has
the appearance of rock salt.
Mills erected al the MINIS crush 1t, var-
ous processes exclude foreign substances
and il r. then carried from the diggings on
short railroads TO the nitrate ports, where
most of it is shipped TO Europe TO be used
az a fertilizer.
None Of the fertilizers In the market
Il of greater value to crops. IL il widely
spread on the fields of Germany and France,
il used TO a less extent in Great Britain
and Belgium, and about one-tenth of the
output Is sold in this country. II is nov
in greater demand than ever and the high
estimation In which II II held Is shown by
the fact that over 1900. 600 tons IL sold every
veartothe farmers Of Europe and the United
States.
The nitrate industry al present il being
disturbed by troubles between the eX-
porters and the labor they employ. Ship
ments through Iquique. the largest Of the
nit rate ports, have entirely ceased.
The trouble is due to the fact that in
December last the brakemen on the nitrate
railroad connecting lquique with the mines
demanded eight hours' work with ten hours
paw and extra pay for overtime. The
railroad company refused to comply and
when new brakemen Were employed the
labor union refused to unload the cars OF
nit rate AT the warehouses in the port. Then
the exporters notified the workmen that
| no more nitrate would be shipped till the
car were unloaded and the striking work
men were locked out.
The several abors societies having formed
n union, have deCided TO hold out to the
bitter end Al last account neither side
seemed disposed 10 yield and it was feared
that disturbances would arise when work
men, who had been sent for, should arrive
from the South. Nitrate was still being
shipped from other ports to the north,
but il is reported that they, too will cease
operations till all difficulties are settled.
II the trouble continues long the German
sugar beet growers and many other farmers
viii have to use some other form Of fer
tilizers. In many Of the contracts made by
sugar manufacturers of France and Ger
many with the growers Of the sugar beet
il il stipulated that a certain amount Of
nitrate shall he used every year on each
acre of land devoted to beet culture.

RUTHERFURDS CHARIVARIED.
JERSEY MEN WELCOME THEN
TO "TRiNQUILITY FARMS"
The, Now know They Are the Most Pop
ular Couple In the state Mr.. Ruther-
furd Comes Down Viz a Tenner. and
. the Bride Bows TO Cheering Musicians.

ALLAMUCnY, n. j., Feb. 22.-More than
one hundred farmers, young and old. to-
gether with their wives and sweethearts,
gathered last night and descended on Tran
quillity Farms" where Mr.. and Mrs. Win
throp Rutherfurd are spending their honey
moon, and -belled" the bride and bride
groom No one here, save those on the
Farms, knew that the newly married couple
was TO come here after the wedding, which
occurred at Grace Church, in New York,
on Tuesday, so IL was not until last night
that the farmer boys got together and
sent the word broadcast through the set
Element. The bride is a daughter Of former
Governor Levi p. Morton.
il should be explained to such as have
had the misfortune TO I've born outside OF
New Jersey hat no one was ever married
in that State without afterward being
c~allithumped and the popularity OF the
couple is usually gagged by the amount
Of callithumping they receive. Mr.. Ruther-
furd il now regarded as the most popular
man in the State for on no previous occasion
was there ever AZ much noise made by a
-belling" party As last night.
The party got together at O'Donnell's
store about s o'clock. Some brought tin
pans, others horns that had gone through
every political campaign since Greeley ran
for the Presidency. Two young men
brought a horse fiddle. At $50 o'clock
the word was given and silently the crowd
proceeded TO the mansion house on the
farms. They stole up on the great front
porch without being discovered and then.
at a signal from the leader. the noise broke
forth.
To compare the outburst to anything
else ever heard under the sun would not
be doing the party justice, for no boiler
making plant ever turned out a brand OF
noise equal to IL. The horns footed. the
pans ratified and a man who had brought
a bass drum pounded.
Above all the din could be heard ever
and amor the discordant notes Of the horse
fiddle as the artist drew his big bow across
the resined ropes. Very soon after the
sounds began Mr.. Rutherfurd appeared at
the door to inquire what had happened.
but il was five minutes before he could be
heard.
He inquired the object OF the call and
learning that a ten-dollar bill and a glimpse
of Mrs. Rutherford would purchase ever
lasting silence. he quickly offered 10 settle
on those terms. The money was produced
and amid the cheers Of the callithumpians
the bride came to the door and bowed TO
her new %neighbors.
At O'Donnell's store the ten-dollar bill
was quickly turned into candy. navy plug
and cigars. Some Of the boys managed TO
get a dollar commission on the deal and his
wen TO a farmer in the neighborhood who
is famous for his brand of hard cider. When
the cash had all been spent three cheers
were given for Mr.. and Mrs. Rutherfurd
and the crowd dispersed.

WINDING up AFFAIRS
sTOCKYARDS SHAREHOLDERS TO
GET SOME MONEY.
May Get Eighty Per Cent When Real
Estate is Sold-Some TO Be Paid
Now.

The directors of the Honolulu Stock
Yards Company held a meeting this
noon at the office of Secretary j. f.
Morgan at which the question of max
ing a payment on the shareholders
stock was brought up and discussed.
The horses and stock have been sold
and most of the assets sold with the
exception of the real estate, in itself
the most valuable part of the corpora
tion's property. 1t is probable that a
twenty-five or thirty per cent payment
may be made to the holders of the COM
pany's scrip, pending the satisfactory
sale Of the ground forced sale Of
which would at the present time hard
ly realize what the shareholders would
consider a profitable price.
The question of the law suit just be-
gun by Contractor. Smith for payment
of some S4, 500 that he alleges to be due
him on the new building that was
partly damaged by the StOckyards fire
and on which certain payment had been
made by the company also was discuss
ed. No agreement has been announced
concerning the determination arrived at
in this matter.
There are still some outstanding col
lectiOns to come in which may add one
or two per cent to the proportiOnate
shares. 1t has been expected by the
directors that the affairs of the organ
ization can be finally wound up to give
a return of about eighty per cent of the
investment. ~

TWO DOZEN MEN GATHERED IN
TODAY.
Went to Associated Charities This
Morning to Get Assistance But None
Could be- Given Them.

Twenty-four destitute and hungry
Porto Ricans were taken to the police
station this morning from the neigh
borhood Of Hotel and Alakea streets.
The entire crowd consisted of men.
They went to the Associated Charities
e try and secure assistance. Many Of
them said that they had families and
none had had any food today, while
others We're in even a worse plight.
Nothing could be done for them so
the men went lOunging about the neigh
bOrhOOd. Several residents telephOned
to High Sheriff Brown and notified
him Of the presence Of the crowd q.
Officer Frank Ferreira was sent with
the patrol wagon and gathered the
bunch to the police station. That most
Of them had been without food for
some time was very evident from the
way in which they partOok of dinner
when it was served them today
The men and their families have been
living in Kakaako as best they can. An
attempt was made to send them away
today on the Kinau to some of the
Maui and Hawaii plantations but Col
Onel Lake said that the plantations had
agreed not to hire any men who had not
an honorable discharge from the plan
tations where they had been formerly
employed so nothing could be done for
the present crowd.
High Sheriff Brown will try to secure
them employment on some of the Oahu
plantations and in event of the men
being willing to work, will ship the lot
out of town. In case the men should
refuse to accept work, they will be
prosecuted for vagrancy.

MONEY IN THE COURT
CASH READY FOR THE BISHOP
ESTATE.
Kinney objects to an order Under
Which S52,737 Was Paid over for
Condemned Land.

Chief Clerk Henry Mailing of the
United States District Court has S52,-
737 in his possession, paid over by
United States Attorney j. j. Dunno for
the 561.2 acres of Pearl HarbOr land of
the Bishop estate, condemned in the
recent suit. The money was paid over
pursuant to an order of Judge Estee's,
placing the United States i'm immediate
possession Of the land, subject to exist
ing leases. The Bishop estate, how
ever, has appeared with an objection
to the order, and there may be a con-
test in court tomorrow.
Attorney w. A. Kinney first heard OF
the order yesterday morning, and he
went on the warpath. He declared that
he had received no notice that the gov
ernment was going to ask for such an
order, and had had no opportunity to
oppose 1t. Dunno stated that it was
an order that did not call for any no
tice to the other side, but that if Kin
ney had objections to make, the mat
tire could be brought up in court.
This morning Kinney was not able
to attend and the matter went over to
tomorrow. Il applied for and obtained
the order under section 1853 of the
civil CODE" said Dunno. Later 1 met
Mr.. Kinney and he demonstrated with
me for not serving him with notice. l
on the subject and that there was no
thing in them requiring any notice of
such an order as 1 secured, but that if
he wanted to appear in the matter it
could be brought up this morning in
court. He is not here and Mr.. Big
low suggests tomorrow morning. l
have no objection to the matter going
over until that time"
"The money is here and will draw in
terest," said Judge Estee. The Bish-
op estate can either take it or refuse
it, The court signed the order because
under the law it was the only proper
thing to do"
THE only thing that annoyed me-
said Dunno, "was that any member of
the bar should think I had taken ad-
vantage of him by getting an order of
court behind his back. I looked up the
law on the point, and as there was no
requirement that notice should be
served, I did not serve notice.
Bglow proposed pOstponing the hear
ing one day, and it went over. In the
meantime there is the sum of $52, 1877 in
Mailing's hands, which the Bishop es-
tate can get at any time it calls for
IT,
