French People Pleased
WITH ACTION
Against Sugar Bounties

John c. Covert, American Consul at
Lyons, reports to the State, Depart
ment as follows regarding the sugar sit
uatlon in France In connection with the
Brussels conference. His letter bears
the date Of Dec. 20, '02:
The people of France are happy in
the anticipation OF a reduction in the
been paying for sugar. Their hopes
are based on the recent action OF the
Lower House of the French Parliament,
in reducing the internal revenue tax
on that article to 20 francs (si.S2) per
100 Kilograms (22O pounds. Up to the
present time, the tax has been 60
francs (s1l.5S) per 100 Kilograms, and
the retail price Of sugar in the groc-
cries, IL cents per pound.
In the debate In the Lower House OF
Parliament, the opinion was expressed
that the consumption would so In
crease as to compensate for the loss OF
excise revenue, which aggregated 50,-
O0O, 900 francs 1850. OO0) per year; bur
this loss OF revenue Is more than COM
pensated by the abolition OF sugar
bounties. which In 1901 amounted to
nearly s2O,0O0,OOO. The Lower House
also adopted a bill ratifying the action
OF the Brussels Sugar Congress.
The cessation Of the bounty does not
take effect until September, 1908, and It
is impossible to estimate at present the
reduction that Is certain to take place
In the growing Of beets; but farmers
are thinking what they will do with
the land that will be released. The
growing OF beets has been generally
confined to the northern Departments
OF France, and before these became the
favorite crop, oil seeds we're cultivated
with profit: also rape seed and poppy
These are imported into France In
large quantities, and their consumption
has more than doubled within few
years. The Journal d'Agriculture
states that while petroleum has taken
the place of the oils produced from
these seeds as illnminants, they are
very popular as lubricants.
An authority in Lyons expresses thu
opinion that wheat will be grown OF
much OF the acreage heretofore sowI
in beets, and that its price will be eE
hanced. The fruit-canning factoriei
lin the Midi, which have been olmos
idle for some years, will find a new
career OF activity, and an increase,

question of schedule committee came
up, II was decided to appoint the cap

that these may come to an agreement
among themselves and thus settle the
matter of games beyond all question Of
dispute.

Honolulu Will Now Have
BASEBALL PARK
With Stand and Fences

A meeting OF the baseball league was
held in the Elks' hall last night for the
purpose of deciding on site for the
proposed baseball park. There wero
present representatives from each Of
the six clubs already admitted into the
league for the seasons games. as well
as Trustees w f. Allen and l.. A
Thurston.
The first business brought before the
meeting was the plan Of the field which
1t was proposed TO lease. A drawing
presented by President ID. =. r. Isen-
berg showed the limits Of the field with
o suggested grandstand along lines pre-.
pared by Engineer Chris Willis.
This land contains about four acres
and is included between King and Ber-
etania streets. about third of a mile
beyond the McCully tract. II is eX-
pected that the Rapid Transit line on
King street will have been extended to
place close to the baseball field at the
beginning of the coming season so that
the terminus will be only about four
hundred feet away from the grand
stand.
After a discussion of the matter, II
was decided unanimously by the league
that lease should be obtained from
Manager Pain Of the Tramways Com
pany at the rate mentioned, which is
$3.50. The matter having slreauy been
talked over with the parties concerned.
1t was stated that the league could OBJ
tain the land for Ave years at the rent
al mentioned, with an option on Ave
years more at the same price. This
fact, taken into consideration with the
fact that the Rapid Transit Company
has agreed to ratlfy the lease should
the merger of the two street railway
companies be effected, makes the
league very sure of the ground upon
which II is treading.
The motion which authorized the
making of the lease, also gave full con-
troll of all affairs in connection with
the grounds, into the hands of the
trustees. These were chosen ut the
last meeting and were announced last
night by President Isenberg as fol-
lows: w. +. Allen, d. p. Il. Isenberg,

THE DoWAGER DUCHESS OF
ABERCORN

A wonderful old lady, now in her
ninety-second year, is the dowager
Duchess of Abercorn, who in spite of
and not at all in mind.
She was Lady Louisa Russell, daugh-
ter of a Duke of Bedford and she mar
ried in 1882 the first Duke of Abercorn,
known to his friends as "Old Splendid"
At the time of their wedding the bride
was twenty and the bridegroom TWEEN
ty-one, and both were exceedingly
handsome. It was an ideally happy
marriage, and the duchess became the
mother of no less than thirteen chill
dren, six sons and seven daughters.
When her first child was born the
happy young father asked her what
present he should give her. She chose a
locket to contain portrait of the baby.
This gift formed a precedent, and at
the birth of each of her children the
duchess received another pendant, till
in process of time thirteen lockets were
strung on gold chain. The jewels are
amethysts and diamonds, and the neck
lace is one of the dowager Duchess of
Abercorns most precious possessions.
The dowager Duchess of Abercorn
has about 100 direct descendants, for
whom she has a great affection. She
makes a point of being present at their
weddings. At the family gathering for
her last birthday were many little
folks, among them Lady Dunglass' in
FAINT, her first great great grandchild.

club of ladies. It's secretary is Mrs
Cousens. There is also a woman s
French bulldog club of America
Almost every fashionable breed of
canine is now under the fostering care
of clubs and associations of women dog
fanciers. The leading one of these or
CARNATIONS is the Ladies' Kennel Asso-
citation of America which holds it's an
nual bench show in Madison Square
Garden, New York. Another prominent
dog club is the Ladies' Kennel Associa-
ton of Massachusetts,, to which distin-
guished society women of Boston be-
long.
The annual show of the Ladies' Ken
mel association in Madison Square Gar
den is a great occasion. It is the event
that opens the city social season and
celebrates the return of fashionable
people to New York from the seaside
and the country. 1t is held the first
week in November. The exhibition this
year is the third annual one the ladies'
have presented to the public Each
year the exhibit improves. It is now
said to be equal to what the Westmin-
ster Kennel club, the most influential
association of men dog fanciers in
America, was able to do in its earlier
years
At any rate it is show of a thou
sand, that womens dog exhibition.
Picture to yourself the Enclosure in
which wild west and circus people have
exploited themselves. in which cavalry
evolutions, political conventions and
walking and bicycle matches have had
place. Think of this great arena full of
dogs, woolly and hairless, Great Danes
almost as tall as a COW and little rats
of things weighing less than a pound
of All colors and tempers, and nearly
all bowling, barking, whining, at once
and you will have an idea of what that
dog show in Madison Square Garden is
like.
Nearly 2oee dogs are exhibited this
season, and there are more than fifty
glasses of them. In one respect the as
ISOLATED women dog fanciers of Amer
lea have it better than their sisters in
England. The Ladies' Kennel associa-
ton here has had from the start the
help of men dog lovers, who cheerfully
Uttered the ladies the benefit of their
experience and encouragement. Many
