AN ARTISTIC DISPLAY.

At Durant's. opposite the postoffice,
 the varied and beautiful assortment of holiday gifts in the way of rings, scarf pins, lockets. watches. and bracelets will repay every one in search of an artistic and valuable present. The trays filed with diamond rings are delight to cultivated eyes and tastes. for MT, Durant has a remarkable collection of these beautiful gems, the rings ranging in price from $20 to $55O. His solitaire and cluster rings are hewildering in their beauty. and so large is his col- lection that purchasers have a wide choice. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies and opals, with their settings of tiny dia- monds, are as fascinating in their bril- liancy as the diamonds alone, and very alluring to the Christmas buyers. Then there are the watches, in every style and make, from the expensive gold time pieces, to the exquisite little chatelaine watches in red, blue, green and black enamel. plain or with tiny ornaments painted on the back. some of them set with pearls. and all excellent. time keepers, as are the gun metal and silver chatelaines so much the fad at the present time. Nothing could be prettier or more serviceahle than a Christmas gift of one Of these cflatelaines. The stick pins and scarf pins are almost be- yond description. they are so dainty and unique. Mir. Durant considers that he has the best assortment of these al- ways acceptable gifts in the city. They are in many designs, and range in price from 60 cents to s25, even the lowest in price being Of gold. Among the love- lies. are an opal set with diamonds, @ crescent of pearls and diamonds, and a crown oF pearls. Mir. Durant also has in stock the latest novelties in silver ware, and his imported opera glasses are from the leading makers of the world. It is but step across to his store from the postoffice, and it will be well worth the while Of holiday shop pers to examine the attractive and very reasonable goods he has on exhibition.

THE REALISTIC pRAMA.

Mime. de Navarro has recorded the greatest lesson she ever received against too much realism. In a certain drama the heroine, under great excite ment. suddenly steps to gain composure, as she hears the approaching carriages of the guests.
 ''Hark!'' she says. q hear the wheels of their carriages
 We obtained the effect of approaching wheels, but try as we would, the stamp ing of the horses feet upon the gravel before Clarisse's door we could not manage. At last a brilliant idea struck me, which the stage manager promptly indorsed.
 It was that we should have in donk- ey from Covent garden to trot up and down behind the scenes on the gravel especially laid for him. We were de- cidely nervous on the first appearance of our four-footed friend, whose role was to counterfeit the high-stepping horses of the brilliant French court.
 When his cue was given there was only an ominous silence. , I repeated the word In a louder voice, when such a praying and scuffiing were heard as sent the audience into roars of laughter. Although 1t was one of the most serious situations of the play, could not help joining in their mirth until the tears rolled down my cheeks.-Exchange

AN ORIGINAL. HOSTESS.

One of the most charming entertain CTS of the east, one known to many a guest on both continents, New York woman of wealth and culture, puts into practice well-nigh all the virtues of hospitality. Every year she has a house party at her beautiful summer home in the Adirondacks. She sees to it that the guests are all people of somewhat similar tastes, although cer- tain ones may be wage-workers, while others may be millionaires.
 Each guest is pledged to do each day two hours Of the lighter sort of the home work for the common good. These tasks are drawn by lot and changed weekly, as are the seats at the spacious out-of-door table. Never such enjoy ment as the fine lady and elegant gentlemen find at the dish-washira; the picking and arranging of the fiow- CTS; the wedding and hoeing of the garden; the dusting of the rooms; the oversight of the water tanks; the feed- ing of the horses and of Aristophanes, the donkey. The hostess, too, takes her portion of the daily labor; and so tact full and unobtrusive is her management that she seems only one of the guests.
 The continual permutation of work and workers brings all the guests into close communion, and the light labors about the house and gardens gives ad- ded zest to the outdoor games and ex- cursions, the indoor music and di- versions. No one is bored. The com mon interest is in the joint care of the beautiful home, in which each feels a lovers share.-Edwin Markham in Good Housekeeping.

THE VIOLATED TREATY

President Marroquin hopes that the violation of a public treaty; he express es the wish to strengthen the ties of friendship and commerce with the Uni ted States; he appeals to our sentiment of justice and equity, to our national conscience, even. We fear that his ap- peal is futile, and we know that it comes too late. He must see that we cannot now intervene to restore Colom- bias sovereignty over the territory we have just recognized as independent. Recognition of independence is irrevo- cable. We cannot destroy the sover- eighty of Panama by saying that it was all mistake. The status quo can be restored only by war. It would be quickly restored by Colombian troops if we would take our hands off, or if we would confine ourselves to the strict performance of our duty under the treaty-the protection Of transit. The administration will not do that unless unmistakably commanded to do it by the voice of the American people. We see now no sign that the voice of the people will be heard in that sense. We want the canal built, all the world wants it built, That desire is domina- ting. It makes us and the world too It, tie mindful Of our broken faith. All that even the most candid supporters of the administrators policy will admit is that we have done evil that good may come. They are in an exultant mood now, and will take no account of the evils that may come afterward. Our adventurous president is quite too stren- uous and sanguine to waste any time in thinking about the remoter and possibly dangerous consequences of his policy New York Times.

The contracts for building these vessels have been distributed to a large mum Der of builders, possibly for the purpose of hastening their completion. Five are being constructed by the Maryland Steel company, two by the James Reilly Repair and Supply company and one each by the W. R. Trigg company, the Petersburg Iron Works company and the New York Shipbuilding company.
 The mechanical equipment of the dredges for salt water service will in- clude surface condenser outfits, with air pumps, feed pumps and fire pumps. The dredges for the Great Lakes are provided with large cross compound, double acting, air pumps and jet con- densers. The air pumps are of novel arrangement, inasmuch as it is possible hy the manipulation of valves and cocks provided for the purpose to cut each pump in half and run one side en- tirely independent of the other side. This practically provides spare pump in each installation without the neees- sity of being overweighted with dupli- cate machines, and at the same time s-e cures the advantages of compound steam cylinders.
 These dredges are the largest in ca pacity ever built and are designed in each case for the special work which they will have to do. They are self propelling, seagoing dredges, and do not depend upon the assistance of tugboats or other craft to move them around from point to point. Some of these ves- sells are fitted with immense bins, in which the dredged material is deposit- ed, and when full the vessel propels herself out to deep water, dumps the sand or mud and steams back to repeat the operation. Others are arranged for depositing the dredged material into large scows fastened alongside the yes sel.
 The operation of these machines is l interesting. A long flexible tube, twelve to fifteen inches in diameter, drops down from the side of the vessel twen- l ty to thirty feet or more to the bottom of the river or harber upon which the dredging operation is being performed. l The upper end of this tube is connected
 to an immense rotative centrifugal pump, revolving at the rate of several
 hundred revolutions a minute and ca pablo of handling many hundreds of | tons of water an hour. The lower end of the tube is manipulated from the vessel against the sandbars and mud
 banks, and as the water is sucked up-
 ward by the centrifugal pumps a large
 proportion of sand and mud goes with
 it. The centrifugal pumps discharge
 this water with it's suspended material
 into the tanks on board the vessel or l into scows, where the heavy matter
 quickly settles to the bottom, the water
 flowing back into the sea.-New York Tribune.

A KANSAS CONSCIENCE.

Misgivings of a Girl Who Didn't De-
 clare Excess Baggage.
 Every railroad is said to have a ''eon- science fund.-" contributed to by those who have been overtaken by remorse after wronging the company ill one of the many ways possible. However, it is doubtful if any company can show as tender conscience as that revealed to the. Santa Fe railroad in the following letter addressed to the Santa Fe agent at Wichita:
 Everett, Wash, Nov 6. 'To Agent at Wichita:
 ''This summer, while attending a camp meeting, I heard some rousing sermons on the line of restitution, which caused me to see that had cheated the railroad company by carry ing excess of baggage from Wichita, Kan., to Oswego, Kan, in October. 1901. judge l must have had nearly, two hundred and twenty pounds, < "As knew the rules of the railroad company, feel that I did wrorg, and I write this to ask your forgiveness. and to find out how much l. am owing you.

YESrERDAY,s STOCK MARKET.
Steel Preferred Driven Down to Near It's
 LoReat Record.


 Lowest Record.
 New York, Dec. 11.-There was rather less activity in to-day's stock market and the dealings were more congested in a few stocks. United States Steel preferred was between three and four times as active as any other stock in the list and it was pressed upon the market diligently all day. Its price was forced down to 51 7-S, which was only a trifle more than two points above the lowest. The common stock sold at 10, which on a par with the low record, but the dividend of 1-2 per cent. came off the price yesterday. There was no actual news accompany ing the selling, but very specific as- sertfons were in circulation that a re- duetion of the dividend rate on the pre- ferred for the present has been practi- cally determined on. Published esti- mates Of the heavy shrinkage of the net earnings of the corporation also af- fected the stock. Brooklyn Transit, which was next in point of activity, was reactionary on what seemed profit taking.
 Amalgamated Copper, Erie and Penn- sylvania were very conspicuous in the trading and had periods of strength. The buying of Erie was attributed largely to London account. So long as trading continued in London the mar ket showed points of strength but af- forwards the advance melted away very generally, Brooklyn Transit re- ceding to near the low point of the morning dip. The upward spurt in Peoples Gas was apparently due to a judicial decision in favor of the com pany. The reactionary forces in the market did not develop great activity and the movement suggested rather cessation of the advance than new factors of weakness. The estimates of the regular express movement of cur rency for the week point to balance i'll favor of New York of between $2,- GoO,OOO and S2,5o0,000. As the sub-treas- ury operations have absorbed s571, ,O00 the cash reserve of the banks has prob ably increased during the week between Sl,5OO,ooo and $2.0OO,00O.e The active speculation of the week possibly in- wolves some expansion of loans and the call money rate ran Up rather suggest lively to 6 per cent. late this afternoon after an easier tendency In the early part of the day.
 The stock market closed heavy and at about the lowest.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value were $2,329,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

 An indication of the large amount of river and harbor improvement work now under way or contemplated by the United States government is given by the fact that at present ten suction dredges are being built two of which will be sent to the Great Lakes, two to New York harhor, two to the Mississ- ippi river, two to Charleston, S.

ton held its regular monthly meeting
last night at which We're elected to
membership, J. S. Williams, chief en-
gineer of the II. C. & S. Co., Maui: G..
r. Ewart, former manager of Kllauea
Plantation, and Z. Tappan Tannatt.
A paper on bagasse burning furnaces
was read by II. G. Ginaca, which was
discussed by Mr.. Williams, Mr. Dyer,
Mr.. Hedemann and others. Mr.. Kay Of
Trinidad described the furnaces used
at his home place.
Marston Campbell gave an informal
talk on the engineering features noted
by him on his recent trip over the
mainland. He told of his exploration
of the Hudson River tunnel and the
sewerage plant of Chicago. Among the
most interesting things seen by him
were the new docks at Hoboken.

Not AllurIpg to Tourists.

The Hawaii Promotion Committees
stereotyped advertisement in several
eastern periodicals, wherein snowy
slopes are announced as among the
local tourist attractions, has already
been given too much currency for sue
cessful contradiction. Patriotic Ha-
waiians, white and brown, who have
long been eXtolling in song and story
the beauties of their evergreen hills
and mountain sides must grin, and
bear this embarra ssing mistake of the
advertisement engraVer, who read
Snowy for sunny in the copy.
Residents of the mainland who are
seeking change of temperature in
the winter months are not likely to
regard snowy mountain or hill slopes
as conducive to pleasure and comfort
There are such features of Hawaiian
scenery as snowy SUBMITS, seen only
in the months of January and Feb
ruary, after heavy falls of rain in the
valleys. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa,
on the island OF Hawaii, are often snow
capped in those months, and so Is Ha-
leakala on Maui. A bit of snow Is
seen occasionally on the tops of Wal
aleale, on Kauai, and Kaala and Kona-
huanul. on this island. But all these
mountains especially the first three
mentioned, are very lofty and rarely
assembled.
Engravers are noted for perverting
facts and misspelline words, despite
the fact that they take their own time,
and plenty of it, in executing what
they are directed to do. The artist
who prepared the advertisement refer

thing: He spelled the name of the Ter

HELD FOR
PERJURY
The Federal Grand jury
Indicts Two
Japs.

| Two indictments for perjury returned
by the Federal grand jury against
Japanese will probably make some of
the members of that nationality lit
tie more careful of the truth in the
future.
Three indictments We're reported. by
the grand jury yesterday, but two were
placed on the secret file. Later an ar
rest was made in one of the cases by
Marshal Hendry.
Kinzo Ueda was indicted for per-
jury, in telling the immigration board
that he was the husband of Japan
csc woman whom he attempted to
bring into the country. Ueda is alleged
to have sworn before the commissions
ers that his name was Isojiro Naka-
gawa, and that he was the husband of
Yoki Nakagawa, an immigrant seek
ing to land here. 1t is alleged in the
in both these statements.
The second indictment is against
Tumateo Ichikawa. He is alleged to
have committed perjury before the
Federal Court April %, 1908, during the
trial of Yataro Hiroto for importing
women for purposes of prostitution.
Ichikawa is alleged to have testified
that he never visited Interpreter Calf
ney with the defendant in that case,
and, also that Hiroto did not call upon
Gaffney. Both these statements made
under oath are alleged to be false.
Ichikawa was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon by Marshal Hendry. He is a
japanese hotel keeper
