Mrs. DR.. Cooper, daughter of DR.. and

strained by the importantly of friends
to remain over there a while LONGER in

C. April that we left Honolulu. We had
very good trip though pretty rough,
OIng up. There was good company on
the steamer.
II met good many friends in San
Francisco who were glad to see me,
for 1t was twenty-four or twenty five
years since l had been there last. The
Examiner sent n man to interview me
and gave me long article, which l
suppose you have seen.
From San Francisco we went on to
Cincinnati. An Inquirer man called on
me at the st. Nicholas and gave me
a long puff. You know Cincinnati was
my old home. / used to practice medi-
cine there before I went into the Union
army. We stayed three weeks in Gin
cinnati. I met many old friends there

most of my former acquaintance are
dead.
I'm Cincinnati received letter from
a lady I had not heard from for fort =
years. 1t was the week following the
appearance of the article in the In
quirer. This lady had read the article
and seen some people who had met me
and this is the letter I received from
her."
DR.. McGrew produced a letter of six
closely written note pages and invited
the reporter to read it. The writer was

THE THANKS OF a
TRANSIENT VISITOR

L. +. Tenney. the venerable guide to
Eva plantation. was delighted to find
in yesterdays mail the following ap-
preciative letter from a man to whom
he had shown the great sugar estate;
Steamship Gaelic.
Mid-Pacific, 18th June, '03.
Dear Mr. Tenney: When in a remi-
niscent mood 1 set open the doors
leading to the past, there will come n
beautiful memory sweet with the frag-
rance of Honolulu hospitality, II was
truly stranger and We took me in"
and did for me what could only eman-
ate from hearts filled with true hos
pitality; without money and without
price 1 was shown your fertile fields
and had explained to me by u master
of the art, in most graphic manner
the method by which results are at
tained that make your island ona of
the most prolific in the world.
remember too, you gave me n tabu-
lated temperature sheet showing the
temperature taken three times per
day for the past sixteen years, from
that I learn one can sit under the
Regia or other gorgeous flow
ering tree, or beneath your beautiful
palms at any hour. day or night the
year around, that your beautiful flow
ers are never killed by the biting frost
nor wilted by an over hot sun and that
I might battle at any time In your
surf, in the water clear
as crystal which has washed your
beach until 1t Is smooth and soft as
silk.
I was taken to the home Of the Ha-
waiian and treated with the southern
warmth of hospitality. to feasting, to
flowers to music and the dance.
When 1 think that I simply blew In
to Honolulu without an introduction
or friend and that as was saying
good bye to mine host of the Hawai-
Ian Hotel to go aboard the steamer
for home. to receive your kindly re-
wishing me God speed
It filed my measure Of courteous con-
sideration full, pressed down. over
lowing.
The memory of my visit to Honolu-
In will be to me like unto box OF
precious ointment broken over the head
whose sweet fragrance will go with
ne day by day till even the last chap
.er of life.
with most kindly and cordial re-
,ards.
Yours truly.

The burden of Mrs. Rockwoods letter
is a rciteration of the warmeSt express
sions of gratitude to DR.. McGrcw for
the great kindness he showed to the
writer's family, kindness which she
wildly recalled from her personal re-
membrance, when they were prisoners
Of war in the hands of the Union army
during and after the siege of Vicks-
ourg. la was DR.. McGrew himself who
saved the family from hunger and other
miseries by his individual ministrations.
Interspersed with such grateful re-
minders the letter gave a great deal of
information regarding the history of
families and individuals, with whom DIR.
McGrew had formed acquaintance dur
ing the dreadful experiences at yicks-
burg. Mrs. Rockwood's husband was
president of the Howard Association
"a noble man" she affectionately calls
him. He died in 1878 and in honor of
his memory the city of Vicksburg was
draped In mourning for thirty days.
Mrs. lockwood pays a high tribute
to General Mcpherson, telling how his
name was revered, among those of all
other Union officers, by Southerners for
his great kindness to the distressed
people after Vicksburg surrendered and
he took command of the city. women
shed tears" Mrs. lockwood writes
when they heard that General Nc
Pherson was killed" She testifies to
the great regard the South held for
President Mckinley, but is severe upon
the G. A. RS colored demonstrations
in that country.
One very interesting thing she tells
DR.. McGrew is that the house he oc-
cupied during the siege and occupation
of Vicksburg is still standing.
From Cincinnati we went to New
York." DIR. McGrew resumed. I'VE
stayed there three weeks and went
around by the way of Buffalo, Cleye-
land, Detroit and Chicago. We stayed
in Detroit week. Altogether we had
very pleasant trip. 1t was cold on APP
preaching San Francisco, but we had
beautiful trip down-no rough sea-"
DR.. McGrew was asked If people on
the mainland were disposed to talk
about Hawaii with any show of interest
In its welfare. He replied affirmatively|
but said there had been so much foolish
ness published that many people had
the widest notions of conditions here.
The doctor said:
Some have an idea that there is
danger of leprosy from even inhaling
the air of Hawaii. l told people who
talked that way that they might liyel

CHARITY IS
THE GAMER
Chinese fractional
Strife Ends
Well.

When the Chinese unite they are solid
and the impact impaired upon things
by them in that state Is tellin. "Out
of the strong came sweetness" Samson
said about his honey find in the carcass
of the lion he had slain. Out of the
bitter fractional strife between the I'M
perialist and Reform factions OF Chi
nese, which was meat to the local press
not long ago, has come large benefit to
sweet charity. The battle was waged
over the relief fund in the name Of the
United Chinese Society for the suffer-
ers from the great fire of 1900. That
was the marrow, the ostensible bone Of
contention being the directorate of the
society.
The fund ultimately went not to buy
sunpowder for either the Queen Dowa-
ger or the Bow wong rebels, 1t was
placed where 1t Yields In perpetuity
golden fruit for the care of the in.
!, Yesterday afternoon an Advertiser
reporter, 1pon detsdl out of his usual
kuleanas, found himself for the first
time in many moons walking on King
street between Smith and Maunakea
streets. His eye was attracted to a
curving line Of golden letters upon a
presentabie two-story succeed ia.
on the niauka side of King stree
which read, 1.-THE Omitted Chinese So
ciety, 1903" Could he have forgotten
his bearings? Yves the United Chinese
Society burned out Of its hospitable
home in 1900? These were questions
that momentarily bewildered his brain.
No. Looking up to the familiar old
site, between Nuuanu and Smith
streets, there was the societys build
ing with it's ornate iron-railed balcony
where the band plays ON the Celestial
Emperor's birthdays. Then had the
society sold out and moved into bran
new quarters?
For the correct answer an often prov
ed authority on Chinese colony affairs,
Chang Kim is he, was consulted and
he cleared up the fairylike mystery OF
magically appearing architecture.
When the factions had become rec
onciled, an old story now, they agreed
with each other to invest the Chinese
relief fund in a building for revenue
producing purposes. The society owned
a lot between Smith and Maunakea
streets which was under lease when the
great fire came and wiped out the les
sees building. He was broken by the
disaster and allowed his leasehold to
go by default of rental.
Upon this eligible site the United
Chinese Society has erected a substan-
tial building, the chief decoration of
which is the society's name inscription
as already described. 1t is occupied
by the Chinese Printing Co. and the
branch of a Japanese bank, and yields
an income of s11O month. This
money is perpetually devoted to the aid
of the Chinese Hospital established at
Palama several years ago.

COL. MAYO MAKES INTERESTING TALK.
Tom Richardson Speaks in Highest TERMS of
Hattiesburg and Its Citizens.ShOuld Ex-

The Hattiesburg board of trade was
called to order last night by A. f.
Thomasson, the president. The court
house was we'll filled with spectators.
Mr.. Thomasson read over the list of
the organizations in Mississippi and
Loiusana, total of thirty three be-
longing to the united unions of these
two states.
At the conclusion of his few re-
marks Col. II. M. Mayo of the Pro-
gressive Union of New Orleans, was
introduced in a few we'll chosen re-
marks by Capt. j: P. Carter. Col.
Mayo spoke just half hour and his
speech was interesting from start to
finish. He is deeply in earnest in the
work he is doing and shows it plainly
in his speeches. He impressed upon
his hearers the great Importance of
advertising and said the railroads
were the best advertisers Of any other
corporations in the world and obtained
greater and more lasting results.
Money was no object with he railroads
when it came to advertising was
the good results they were after let
the costs be what they may. In one
instance he cited where one pamphlet
cost railroad company $50, 900 to get
it out and distribute it as the company

the raw material was hauled away,
manufactured into merchantable
goods, and, being freighted back, sold
at our doors. He was surprised that
we did not have sash and blind fac
tory here and several other wood
working factories.
His speech throughout was full,
fine, practical and delivered in an
earnest, matter of-fact manner.
But to give the reader a better idea
of what he said we here give part
of his speech in his own words:
I'm the developement of any particu-
/! lar section of the south where condi-
| Itions are more or less crude, or where
man is more or less CONSPICUOUS by his
absence, it follows that every element
of progress should be taken advantage
of in order to properly manifest the
development which the natural sur
roundings and environments make
possible.
Even as the missionaries in the
early days of history pushed the ritual
of the church and of the Almighty in
to the unknown corners, so do the
railroads represent the vanguard of
civilization.

of its kind in the United States Its prov

haps its horse and mule market business
overshadoT's its beef-cattle trade. The lat

The yards cover 10 acres. paved with Wit

of $500 cattle. and frequently has success

to it are large branch packing plants of
Nelson Morris. Swift & Company and Ar

blast demand between $50 and 200 cattle

kill the next.
In 1892 the East Side stock yards handled
1.1l2.942 cattle. 1.329,Sl9 hogs. 523.2O1 sheep
and 100. 80 horses and mules. The South
west was in the lead in hogs. Texas sup

with 6ae0lS hogs, as against only 5000 for
Texas. Missouri sold here 22!.0c3 sheep, as

The next heaviest factors in the market
were Arkansas. Illinois. Oklahoma and Ten

from Iowa. and the States directly to the
