Washington Feb 13.-Admiral Dewey and
Rear Admiral Taylor have brought back from
the Caribbean Sea mannuvres the startling
proposition hat the finest vessels of the navy
are defective ia manauvring quality TO de-
gree which would place them at a grave dis
advantage in an emergency calling for prompt

been considered sufficiently important to be
taken I'd by the Naval General Board, whose
members have been in consultation with Rear
Admiral G. ". Melville. engineer in chief and
other engineering experts, with a view to de-
visinE remedy. The supposed defect comes
from the use of the so-called outboard screw
prypellers. which in operation turn overland
away from the vessel. 1t is alleged that IN
board screws or propellers turning in an op-
posite direction or overland toward the vessel,
would proba bly, accelerate the swinging OF a
vessel IN answer TO its Tudder- Theoretically

trial was in Die MCully tract, where he
built four houses, which he disposed OF
at handsome profit. His skill and
ability as an architect soon became
known.t Mr.. c. S. Desky seeing his
work and being much pleased with his
originality. invited him to submit some
designs for houses which he intended
erecting on Pacific Heights, and the
designs were so acceptable that he was
engaged to build the Desky, Pratt and
Nichols residences there. He was also
engaged as architect by the president
of the Wilder Steamship Co., (Mr. c.
L. Wight and designed his fine resi-
dence in Nuuanu Valley and many
others.
Foreseeing a demand for houses on
the installment plan, Mr.. Campbell now
started in on an extensive scale secur-
ing the option on the most of two large
blocks of land known as the Base Ball
tract where he opened up Matlock
Avenue, and here covered the many
bare acres with beautiful cottages and
pretentious residences, giving the
neighborhood the appearance of a mod
ern suburban town on the Mainland.

neat fences erected and shrubbery set
out, everything conceivable being done
to make the locality attractive. Mr..
Campbell has installed a planning mill
plant of the latest improved machinery
which has enabled him to do his work
to the very best possible advantage.
After completing his work on the
Base Ball tract he secured the Pawaa
tract from Messrs. Magoon and Wun-
denburg, which is located opposite =.
F. Dillinghan's place. He has erected
on this tract up to present time Is fine
residences including Secretary Cooper's
on the corner Beretania avenue and
Punahou street This residence has
been very much admired and is con-
sidered one of the finest homes in the
city.
Through this tract there has been
opened a new street which will be a
continuation of Young street. Mr..
Campbell has during his brief residence
here erected over % buildings which are
particularly known by their artistic
style and adaptation to this tropical
climate. He has continually under
construction five or six buildings and

the merits of Doan's Ointment in cases

tormenting affection for the past year.
1 tried nearly everything that was rec

ally 1 procured Doan's Ointment. After
few applications I was much re-
lieved, and, continuing the treatment,
I was soon completely cured. 1 have
felt no signs of that intolerable itching
since, and it is four months ago since
1 used Doan's Ointment. To say that

since coming here has expended nearly
$500 900 for labor and materials and up
wards of 100000 for lands, nearly all
of which money has been put into cir
cuIation in Honolulu.
Mr. Campbell has also erected num-
Der of fine residences on Wilder Ave
nue., and is erecting a mansion in Ma
noa Valley He has also erected a
number of very fine residences on
Young and Piikoi streets.
The United States Naval Station
awarded him the contract for the con-
struction of a number of the buildings
put up by the government
Soon after starting in business here,
Mr.. Campbell chartered vessel to
bring building materials from the
coast, as he figured such a plan would
be a saving. He soon developed the
fact, however, that on account of the
many incidental expenses connected
with shipping. that it was cheaper to
buy from firms here than to import. He
still has his vessel however. which is
doing a general shipping business on
the coast and to the islands.
He pays the strongest possible trib-
ute to the material supply firms of
Honolulu for while Mr.. Campbell has
shown a great tenacity of purpose,
and has been able to overcome all op-
posing conditions caused by the strin-
gent money market, etc, he says a
great deal is due to the ting
and courteous attitude Of the firms with
whom he has dealt.

was also at one time Surveyor General
of Oregon. and was connected with the
Civil Engineering departments of the
Northern Pacific, and the Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation Co.
Mr.. Campbell first came to the ISL
ands at the solicitation of the late r.
r. Hind of Kohala, who had seen and
was much pleased with his work in
California where his skill as an archi-
tect is well known. He made two trips
down from the Coast for Mr.. Hind, and
erected several fine buildings for him
on Hawaii
Mr. Hind was greatly delighted with
the work done for him, and was most
liberal in the settlement for same, both
financially and in words of praise.
After finishing his work at Kohala two
years ago. Mr.. Campbell decided to
have a look at the Honolulu conditions
before returning to the Coast. He
reached here just at end of the stock
boom but in time to secure stock IN the
McBryde Plantation, which was then
being fioated. and was lucky enough 10
realize good profits from this invest
ment
An investigation of the conditions
here convinced him that there was, a
first class demand for houses, but that
they should be of somewhat different

close of the year, there is no one man
more worthy of special mention, and
who has demonstrated a more enter

more to modernize Honolulu since an

this connection it is only fitting, and
a just tribute to him, to mention some

THE MIRACLES
BY RUDYARD KIPLING.

1 sent a message to my dear
A thousand leagues and more to her
The dumb sea levels thrilled to hear,
And Lost Atlantis bore o her.
Behind my message hard came
And nigh had found grave for me;
But that I launched of steel and flame,
Did war against the wave for me-
Up rose the deep by gale on gale,
TO bid me change my mind again
He broke his teeth along my rail,
And roaring swung behind again.
After, I hailed the land at night
The towers built had heard of me
And ere my rocket reached its height
Had flashed my Love the word of me.
Earth gave her chosen men of strength
(They lived and died for me)
To drive my road nations length,
And tossed the miles aside for me-
I snatched their toll to serve my needs,
Too slow their swiftest flew for me-
I tired twenty smoking steeds
And babe them bait anew for me-
I sent the 1ghtnings forth to see
Where hour by hour she waited me-
Among ten thousand one she,
And surely all men hated me-
Dawn ran to meet us at my goal
All, day no tongue shall tell again
And little folk of little soul,
Rose up to buy and sell again.
