He wanted all the farmers to take part
and to help organize the head of the
farmers Institutes and hoped that the
first branch would be formed at Wa
hiawa.
The Farmers Institute which will be
at the head of all branches in the Ter
ritory was then organized by the cleo
ton of the following officers:
President-Jared G. Smith.
Vice-President-T. F. Sedgwick.
Secretary and Treasurer-D. L. Van
Dine.
Mr.. Smith was unable to be present
because of his attendance at another
agricultural meeting and his regrets
were presented by Mr.. Sedgwick. He
has, however. consented to serve as
President. By vote, the President was
empowered to appoint all committees
required in the organization of further
institutes. It is intended to form
branches in all parts of the Territory,
and this work Will be taken up inmedi-
ately by Mr.. Smith.
LETTER FROM GOVERNOR DOLE.
The letter written by Governor Dole
was read at he meeting by Mrs. T. F.
Sedgwick, and his expression of conf
dence in the small farmer was heartily
received. A vote of thanks was tender
ed and the Governor was elected an
honorary member.

The paper prepared by Jared G.
Smith on Forage Crops" and read by
Mr.. Van Dine was a very welcome adj
dition to the interest of the program.
Mr.. Smith dwelt upon the Importance
of forage plants to agriculture and the
extension of their cultivation He said
that the clover plant was the best FOR
this purpose. He sketched very enter
tainingly the history of various forage
plants, saying that the alfalfa was cul-
tivated by the Romans at least two
hundred years before the commence
ment of the Christian era. He referred /
also to their feeding value, the compar- :
ison of rationS, the use OF folders IN
rations and it's fertilizing values. /

culture of a country is marked by the

colonists it has been found that toma-
toes. egg plants and peppers could be
made staple articles for shipment TO the
coast. The stock there appears to be
doing well. and there is also thought
TO be a fine field for dairying.
SUCCESS WITH PINEAPPLES.
The principal crop of the colony is the
pineapple, and a large acreage is given
over to the industry, which is being
constantly extended. The present con-
ditions there do not permit of the ship
ment of green fruit, and arrangements
have been made for canning on an ex-
tensive scale. The Hawaiian Fruit and
Plant Co. has $4,000 plants in one
block, and harvested last year 5000
pines of a very superior quality. Their
output this year will be between 10000
and 10000 pineapples. The Hawaiian
Pineapple Canning Co, which was re-
Gently organized, has already planted
$1,000 pineapples and viii continue on
an even larger sclae. A third company
is now being organized there, which is
known as the Tropic Fruit Co. and
which has over 800 acres and will set
out 100000 plants.

home of Mr.. Clark. was attended by
nearly every member of the colony. 1t

the schoolhouse, but the lack of light

the hospitality of Mr.. Clark was gladly

The meeting was opened with prayer

BERLIN. Jan. 25-The Prince of Wales,
who has come to Berlin to represent King
Edward at the celebration of the anniver-
sary of the birth of Emperor William,
next Monday, was received with great cere-
mony on his arrival this evening. EN-

First Royal Dragons, accompanied by his
second son, Prince Wilhelm Eitel Fried
rich Prince Henry of Prussia, a number
of other princes, the Duke of SaXe-Coburg
and Gotha, the British ambassador and his
staff and numerous distinguished person
ages, awaited on the station platform the
arrival of the princes train.
The Prince of Wales, also wearing the
uniform of the First Royal Dragons, upon
alighting from the train was greeted by the
Emperor who advanced and warmly shook
mis- hand. The station was filled with
brilliantly uniformed guard. The prince
and the Emperor, side by side, passed down
the line of the guard, while the band played
the British anthem. The military escort
passed in review before the Emperor and
mis- royal visitor, who afterward drove in a
state carriage to the palace, where they
dined with the imperial family.
At Emperor Williams special order an
unusual number of police occupied the
streets. The crowds, however, were small
and showed little interest
The celebrations in honor of the Prince

WOMAN'S QUEER STORY.
Mary Todd Says She Is the Daughter
of Abraham Lincoln.

CHICAGO, JAM. PA Springfield Qll)
dispatch to the Record-Herald says: "a
queer story was told to States Attorney
William E. Shut here Friday by woman
who says she is the daughter of Abraham
Lincoln. She alleges that her name is Mary
Todd, and that she has lived in Springfield
for over a year. She has been silent con-
corning her relationship, she says, because
she had confidence in promises that she
would always be well cared for. Her desire
at this time is to prove her identity in
order that she may lay claim to a farm in
Menard county, near Petersburg. She de-
elares that she knows Mr. Lincoln owned
the farm at the time he was assassinated
and that the present owners are illegally in
possession of it,
1.-The woman does not know her exact age
or where she was born. She says she was
reared by Robert and Jane Todd on a farm
near Chambersburg, in Pike county and
lived with them until eighteen years of age,
when she quarreled with Robert Todd be-
cause of his refusal to tell her the name of
her father. She says Todd gave her s., 600
in cash and she went away. Robert and
Jane Todd are both dead. Several persons
she says. told her that Robert and Jane
Todd were not her parents, and that Abra-
ham Lincoln was her father. The woman
asserts that she remembers when she was
about six years old that Lincoln came
and they talked about her. She was too
small then TO know what they were discuss

ion that Lincoln was paying Todd TO take
care of her.

of Mr.. Shut TO assist her in proving her

Mr.. Schwab's observations in France,

Bliss gave the cost of producing raw sugar
in Cuba at about cents a pound, the SELL
ing price in Havana about 1I2 cents.
Mr.. Lewis Place, head of the Cuban dele
cation, made an earnest statement, con-
trOverting the claim that the reciprocity
movement was instigated by the United
States sugar interests and contending that
the Cubans had long urged and expected
these concessions. Cuba is lighting it's
own cause on it's own merits, declared Mr..
Place.
Mr.. Mendoza, also of the Cuban delega-
ton, added the statement that the Platt
amendment had been accepted by Cuba on
assurances from President Mckinley that
his influence would be exerted with Con-
gress to secure economic concessions for
the island These assurances were relied
on, Mr.. Mendoza said, and without their
execution the Plat amendment would
bring no advantage to Cuba.
The Cuban hearings then went over until
Tuesday, when the beet sugar men and

declared that the empire must protect it
