MEN SHOULD BE MANLY.

When it comes to marriage, no
woman in Christendom is good
enough for any mothers son, while
any old fool of man--who is half
way presentable-is good enough
for the daughter, or so it seems.
Now who are largely to blame
for the unmanliness of men? The
mothers7of men, As a woman said,
81 am not surprised that my hus-
band is harsh and unkind to me,
for his mother spoiled him. She
would get up at midnight and cook
chicken for him when he had been
out fishing, and she always carried
him around on her hands"
A daughters record must be clean
and wholesome in the mothers
eyes, while the son can drink,
smoke, chew, swear. and so on ad
infnitum, and have no regard
whatever for purity OF living and
yet all his offenses are condoned by
the mother, and he is coddled and
petted, says the Ladies World.
Does she not know that if her
son is living an impure life some
other mothers daughter must suf-
fer through her son, and that no
woman ever fell from grace without
a man back of it?
If all men were manly there
would be no fallen women, for in
stead of leading them astray they
would step in between them and
all wrong. But all men are not
manly, and as a result all our large
cities are in a disgraceful condition
because of the thousands of women |
who are STEPPED in vice.-Exchange. |

COMEDY.

They parted with clasp of hand
And kisses and burning tears,
They met in foreign land
After some twenty years
Net as acquaintance meet;
Smiling, tranquil-eyed:
Not even the least little beat
OF the heart upon either side.
They chartered on this and that.
The rothings that make up life;
She in a Gainsborough hat,
And he in black for his wife
All, what a comedy this,
Neither was hurt, it appears;
Yet once she lad leaned to his kiss
And once he had known her tears

Women And Radium.
Prominent Part They Have Taken
in Making its Phenomena
Known to World.

scientific news says the New Yori
Times is strikinglv illustrated il
the case of radium and of radio
active substances generally. 1t ha;
become a matter of absorbing and
almost exacting public interest
The average man in every civilized
country knows as much about
radium as do the most advanced
physicists, and the daily progress
of investigation is watched with
interest By the well informed news
paper reader everywhere. Sir Oliver
Lodge notes this fact with approx
ing comment, showing how much
better advised the people of other
countries are on this and kindred
subjects than those of France, where
the news value of great scientific
discoveries is not yet appreciated.
Another fact of exceptional inter
est is the prominent part which
women have had in the isolation of
radium and in making its astound-
ing phenomena known. 1t was
discovered by Madam Curie, not
by accident, but as the result of
pure deductive reasoning from
observations of uranium and
polonium. Among the most i'm
portant Of recent contributions to
the literature OF radium are those
of two accomplished women. Lady
Higgins, wife OF the president of
the Royal society, and Miss
Wilcox of Newnham college,
Cambridge. Lady Higgins, in as
with Sir William Hug
gins, conducted a line OF experiments
to obtain the spectrum of the fam
iliar spontaneous radiation from
at ordinary temperatures.
The most careful observations pos
sible with the eye were first made,
and photography was then called
upon to catch the record OF the
blue, violet and ultra-viol,; lines of
the spectrum. Ultimately, after
IN exposure of y hours. a negative
vas obtained showing eight bright
lines, eight faint lines and a nebul-
Gus trace of continous spectrum
n the blue region. In i report
published by the Royal Society
Lady higgins reaches the quite
unexpected conclusion that the
seven strongest lines in ;he new
spectrum agree not only in posi-
ion but in relative intensity and
character with the bands in the
pectrum of nitrogen, and, further,
hat nearly all Of the ultraviolet
adiations appear to have come from
nitrogen. Additional photographs

Yellow Fever Scare
Is About 0verwith.

Roy ". Martin, quarantine in
spector for the government, who
recently returned from Linares,
declares that city is dead COM
mercially and partly deserted on
account of the prevalence of yellow
fever.
Linares is situated about sixty
miles from Monterey on the Mex
lean Central Railroad; the popula-
ton of the place is about ten
thousand, and the town is about a
quarter or half mile from the depot.
As to just what started the in
lection no one is able to say, but it
is generally supposed that it came
from Tampico with shipment OF
fruit. There are now about 400 cases
in that city. There has been quite a
number of deaths, but not ms many
as heretofore reported by the press.
A conservative estimate would
place the figure at about 1875.
The local authorities have done
everything in their power to stop
spread of the disease, and are now
being assisted by the superior
health officer of the Republic of
Mexico. DR.. Bruton has taken mat
tiers in hand and will proceed at
once to use his best endeavors sto
have the disease stamped out
entirely He will have all patients
moved into one ward of the city,
and as far as practicable into one
building, and will have this build
ing made perfectly mosquito-proof.
1t Is generally supposed and
believed tina. at this place as well
as at Tampico matters will be taken
in hand, the disease overcome in
the near future. i'ampico is now
entirely free from the scourge and
no fear is entertained of its reap
pearapee this season.

fever now exist in that city. The

tractors on the Monterey division

is scarcely a camp without the

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-01-03
The reason Why an exclusive fran

chiSe for cabling between Hawaii and
Japan was required, was that British
cable companies had exclusive fran
chises for cabling in the Orient extend
ing over long terms of years. A cable
from Hawaii to Manila would conflict
with these franchises, but there would
have been no difficulty in arranging
matters if the Hawaiian cable itself
mad an exclusive right as far as Hawaii
was concerned.
Unfortunately for the success of the
Morgan enterprise a condition was in
serted in his contract with the Hawai-
ian government making it invalid if
disapproved by the Secretary Of State
within six months. 1t was disapproved
on the last day of the six months by
Secretary Hay, at the instance of the
Hawaiian Commission, and that put an
end to the far-reaching plan of Pier
pont Morgan in regard to a system of
cables in the Pacific ocean.
THE SUCCESSFUL COMPANY.
Last winter, after fruitless efforts by
the Commercial Pacific Gable Company
to secure an enabling act from Con-
gress for it's cable, it sought authority,
as am told, from the State Depart
ment, Department of the Interior and
other departments of the government,
lone of which appeared to feel that
they could authorize the landing Of the
cable ir Hawaii
Then President Roosevelt, in his alert
and vigorous manner, cut the gordian
knot and gave the long sought author
ity under certain conditions to be COM
piled with by this company.
In his last message to Congress he
asked that his action in this matter lie
approved, and there can hardly be any
doubt that the approval will be given.
1t is possible that the company would
have gone ahead even without the sane
ton of the President, but the proba-
bility is that, but for his action, we
should have waited Indefinitely for the
result which We commemorate today.

the scene who were ready and willing
to furnish the capital and experience
for a cable from California to Japan,
touching at Honolulu, Guam and Ma
Mia. These men Were J. Pierpont
Morgan, who had obtained by actual
subscriptions the sum of 100000 for
this purpose, and Gen. James NJ. Scrym-
ser, who for over twenty years had been
president of the Mexican, Central Am
erican and South American cable COM
panies. Their plan was comprehensive
and patriotic. They saw the need of the
United States government to conmu-
nicate by cable which should be under
an American company-with it's pos
sessions in the Far East. They fore
saw the time when the commerce Of the
Pacific ocean would justify and sustain
their enterprise.
To accomplish their object they form
ed the Pacific Cable Company Of New
York, of which Gen. Scrymser was
president, and as their attorney OBJ
tanned from the Hawaiian government
a cable contract dated July I'd, 1898, in
which they agreed to lay and operate
a cable between California and Hawaii,
within two years from the date of the
Act of Congress authorizing them to
do SO, and within three years from such
act to lay and maintain a cable from
Honolulu to Japan, touching at inter-
mediate islands. A deposit of $25, 600
in Hawaiian Government bonds was
made by Mr.. Morgan to secure the per-
Torrance of this agreement. His con-
tract called for no financial aid, but
merely for exclusive cabling right be-
tween Hawaii and Japan for a period
of twenty years.
