Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
1t is always pleasure to meet person
who, learn for the first time Is an inter-
gives me a kind and cordial greeting
because of my being Aunt Madge.
Such a pleasant experience was mine a
few days ago, and more than that, this
new found friend makes request which
hope some one will be able to answer
She has one stanza OF poem written by
Madame Guyon, while she was confined
in the Bastile, and would be glad If some
one would send this other stanzas to the
column. This is the one she has:
"a little bird l am,
Shut in from fields of air;
And in my cage l sit and sing
To Him who placed me there;
We'll pleased prisoner to be,
Because, my God. 1t pleases Thee"
A brief history of Madame Guyon may
not come amiss here. She was born in
Montargis, France, 1913, and died in Blois,
1717. She early in life displayed religious
turn of mind which her parents encour-
aged, although they would not allow her
to enter convent.
When about sixteen years old she was
married to Jacques Guyon. After his
death, which occurred twelve years after,
she removed to Paris for the purpose OF
educating her children. She advanced
some peculiar views on religious doctrines
which attracted good deal of attention,
and caused her much persecution, She
was, however, sought out by many even OF
high rank. Fenelon was much interested
in her instructions.
She was imprisoned In several different
places. In 1To2 she was released from
prison and baaished to Differs; there and
in the near city of Blois she passed the
rest of her life in perfect retirement. She
was voluminous writer. Cowper trans
lated many of her hymns.

The u. S. SenatOrshiD.

Just at this time a number of the
West Virginia newspapers are hav-
ing much to say as to the successor
of Sen. N. B. Scott. A majority
of these papers favor returning Sen
Scott to succeed himself.
In some respects Mr.. Scott has
made good representative, but we
of the Southern portion of West
Virginia should endeavor to get a
Senator from Southern West Vir-
ginia. There are several persons
who might be named as the man.
but at the present time Hon. j. l..
Caldwell seems TO be the leading
man in the race. Mr. Caldwell
comes from Huntington. His in.
terest are identified more closely
with that of the people of this part
of the State than any man we know
of, and we deem it wise that our
people give him their support His
ability is unquestioned; his Repub
licanism is above reproach; HE stand
ing as man and christian gentle
man is without blot; his earnest
ness and zeal for the success of the
party in the past and the work ne
has done for the party, has marked
him az the man TO 90 to the Senate,
and we believe that he is the man Of
all others with whom Mercer should
cast her lot; and we hope and expect
that when the "roll is called" down
at Charleston that two votes will he
cast for James Lewis Caldwell.
Of him we will have more to say
in the future. Mercer Republican.

THE BILL
FOR TACKS
SUGAR
QUOTATIONS
LOCAL FACTORS ARE NOT MUCH
PERTURBED OVER REPORTED
HEAVY SLUMP OF PRICES.

The cablegram that was received last
night stating that sugar had dropped
to 1-16 cents a pound, seems beyond
any reasonable doubt, to have been in
correct. The proof of such fact is of
negative character, however, but the
various sugar factors are not much
disturbed by the alleged drop in the
price of sugar.
The Planters Association has ar
rangements with. welch 81 Company of
San Francisco to cable Without delay
any change in the quotation of sugar,
SO test. From the fact that up to 1870
p. m. today no cablegram announcing
any change whatever had been receiv-
ed, little credence. is taken in the re-
ported slump.
r. D. Mead, the representative of w.
q. Smith who Is the secretary of the
.Rlanters' Association stated this after
noon that he had received no cable on
the subject FTe said that from the fact
that no cable of any character having
been received, he felt confident that
the reported slump was due to an error
in the dispatch filed with the cable
company at San Francisco.
e. Potlitz, the San tFrancisco broker,
who is now in Honolulu, is confident
that the reported fall in the price of
sugar is incorrect, He says that had
there been change of even one-siG-
.teenth of a cent in the price, he would
have been advised Immediately by ca
BILE. He has received no such dispatch.
The general opinion in Honolulu this
morning was that the cable stating
that raw sugar had dropped to 1-16
was a mistake. Though the message
was repeated by the cable company and
is therefore sure to be a correct copy
of the message given in at the other
end, it was thought by many that
mistake had been made bv those who
gave the message at the cable office.
II don't believe there was such
drop" said Albert Raas, stock broker.
1T seems to me quite likely that the
figures were 11-16 and that a figure
one was dropped off, making it 1-16.
cannot believe without further con-
firmation that sugar dropped 5-S in one
day"

THEY Pointed
To BOYD'S
END
A Bill for RefreShment That
Bobbed up Before a Hawaii
Road Board but was not
Paid,

A bill for forty dollars worth of re-
freshments, which the Territory was
invited to pay, is reported to have been
one of Cooper's reasons for the removal
of Road Engineer r. N, Boyd. On
Cooper's recent trip to Hawaii he made
some general Investigations and one
story that has come from the big iA-
and indicates the sort of "extravA-
gance" which the superintendent claims
to have discovered.
The bill was Presented to a Hawaii
road board in. an, account for supplies,
and the board rejected it as an i'm
proper expenditure. Subsequently the
same account appeared in the form of
charges for tacks, and other supplies
needed by Boyd and the force of men
under him. according to the Japanese
who sold the goods. The road board
was informed by the Jap that the tacks
and other things on the bill really rep
resented refreshments and not tacks,
and again the bill was rejected.
Superintendent Cooper this morning
declined to add anything to the reasons
he had before given for removing
Boyd. He said that he thought a
charge of extravaganza covered the
case, and that he didn't care to say
anything additional.
THE Territory has not paid for any
refreshments so far as l know" said
Cooper, when asked about the story of
the good things that were used on "a
Hawaii surveying trip. When asked if
such a bill had been presented and re-
jected, Cooper said that it had been
Suggested that there was such a bill"
Boyd said this morning that he
hadn't yet heard of the call for his
resignation, but expected that it was
coming. This morning Cooper was in
colsultation with several members of
the Republican executive committee.
and it is understood that the removal
of Boyd was discussed. Boyd was a
strong party worker during the last
campaign, and has warm supporters
in the party.

WHAT HAS BEEN

SAILOR
Annual Meeting of the Sailors
Home Society Held This
Morning = Superntendent's
Interesting Report,

The annual meeting of the Sailors
| Home Society was held at 10 o'clock
| this morning at the office of the secre-
tary, F. A Schaefer. The resignation
| of j. b. Atherton as a trustee was ten
| dered and accepted with regret at his
| illness which made his resignation
necessary, and apprecia ton of his SER
vices in the past. The report Of the
treasurer, E. Faxon Bishop was pre-
tsented. Mr.. Bishop called attention to
the necessity, under the changed contf-
tions in shipping of some means for
meeting the current expenses of the
Home. The report was accepted, and
the mater of the future of the home
will come before the trustees for con-
sideration.
Charles II. Atherton was elected a
trustee to NIL the unexpired term of his
rather j. b. Atherton and the follow
ing were elected for the term of three
years: w. w. Hall, w. M. Giffard, b.
f. Dillingham;, II "A Isenberg, A. S.

The following is the report of the
superintendent of the Home, Captain

POST OFFICE
OBJECTS TO WHARF
WAIMEA DOCK DECLARED UNFIT
FOR MAIL AND SUPERINTEN-
DENT COOPER ORDERS REPAIRS

The Postoffice authorities have noti-
fed the Inter-Island steamship COM
pany that the wharf at Waimea, Kauai
is in such bad condition that mails
cannot be left there and as a result
the department of public works is pre-
pairing to send material to Waimea to
make immediate repairs. The post
office instructed the steamship company
not to leave any more mail on the
wharf, as the mail there gets wet, and
Waimea will have to get her mail from
other landings until the repairs are
made.
Material is being sent for a wharf
40X40, to be put up at cost of about
a thounSand dollars. 1t will be part of
general plan for a good wharf there
which superintendent Cooper proposes
to put up when the Legislature makes
an appropriation for it. The work to be
done at present will be such as will
form a part of the new wharf.
The department is also about to erect
a new steel bridge at Kapaia, Lihue.
Bids will be called for this as soon as
the plans are completed.

IN
THE HOME
BY WAVES
MAUNA LOA ARRIVES WITH CA
BINS FLooDED-BRUIsED BY BE-
ING THROWN OUT OF BUNKs.

With all of her cabin flooded and
half the passengers bruised by being
tossed out of their hunks by the tre-
mendous seas, the steamer Mauna Loa,
Captain Simerson, arrived from La
haina, Kona and Kau ports this morn
ing at 6:45 O'clock. The prevailing
rough weather caught the Mauna Loa
with full force and handled the vessel
as she has seldom been handled in her
history.
Throughout the entire trip, the wea-
ther was rough but the worst of the
storm was experienced coming home
last night through the Molokai channel.
The weather was bad in the Hawaii
channel. For the first time in her his
tory, the vessel rolled boats under. The
seas were tremendous and broke over
on the bridge at times. All of the ca
bins were flooded Many of the pas
sengers were thrown out of their hunks
with great violence as the vessel was
pitched and tossed about by the heavy
seas. The sea was running from the
northeast and along with it was a gale
from the same direction. The weather
was so rough that Captain Slmerson
would not risk sending boat ashore at
Maalaea Bay so no passengers or
freight were taken on and no freight
landed.
Along the hdu coast the gaze DleW
throughout the entire trip of the steam
er. At Punaluu late Monday night one
of the boats was swamped and load
of freight dumped into the water. At
Hookena a boat was driven on the
rocks but was later hauled off and
patched up aboard the Mauna Loa.
The steamer Kauai evidently caught
terrible weather on her trip up to Ha-
wall this week. In the Hawaii chan
mel, the main boom of the steamer was
broken. The vessel was lying az Kali
lua yesterday when the Mauna Loa
came up. The Kauai sailed for Hoo
kena the same day for shelter. The
Mauna Loa brought the broken boom to
Honolulu today. No damage was sus-
tained by the Mauna Loa during the
trip.
