when Olba called to pay hi. rns-
poets rhortly afser the marriage OF
Mics Henrietta Wiii,, sister OF the
Bishop OF Honolulu, to the Rev 4.
Richard Wainwright. Ths other
was when the Bishop OF Honolulu
showed his deep sympathy at the
funeral services over the rem aims of
Olba and his following, on foot, to
the grave side; certain prominent
educator often told his pupils that
the example then set by Bishop Willis
was one worthy to be- emulated by
anyone, particularly IS he belonged
to another portion of the Western
branch of "ihe one, true and Holy
Catholic Chuycb.' We are further
given to understand that this edu-
Gator tried to impress such a sweet
aud laudable character upon the
minds OF his pupils, and our refer.
ence to it has recalled it 10 the

Canadian Energy

The Canadians have q quiet but very
energetic way of going about matters.
But little was heard about the Cana
Clan Pacific Railway until it was near
ly completed, the cable between Can
ada and Australia las been laid with
very little flourish and now the Cana
dians are to have new transcontinent-
al railway. Work Gas been going on
quietly for nearly { 'hteen months, and
il is to be finished il 1907. The road
is to run from Quebec to Port Simpson,
paralleling the Canadian Pacific, and
2S0 miles north of that line. 1t will
run through a country that annually
produces 52,000,00O bushels of wheat
and to the west of the wheat fields in
the Territories of Alberta, Athabasca
and Saskatchewan are immense depos-
its of petroleum and coal Of both kinds
awaiting development. Port Simpson
the western terminus, is the most
nertherly Pacific port of the Dominion
being just south Of the southerly ter
mination of the Alaska strip. 1t is
Just about halfway between Victoria
and Skagway, thus offering the short
est sea trip to Alaska, and it is also on
the shortest and most direct line to
China. 1t has therefore, both strate-
gic and trade advantages over any eX-
listing route. Moreover, the harbor is
said to be second only to that of San
Francisco on The Pacific Coast.

The Army Transport Affair

The bedrock facts in this wordy AZ
my transport affair appear to be that
the army in the Philippines has been
greatly reduced in numbers; that,
therefore, freight and passenger traf-
fic between this city and Manila
has decreased; that Secretary Root
has concluded that Government car
riage of this relatively small business
may be more expensive than transpor
tation by private companies under con
tract; that he has, therefore, adverts
ed for bids; that he received only one
covering freight and passengers; that
that was from the Boston Steamship
Company, of Seattle, that it was very
low; that San Francisco merchants
must have been mapping; that the Sc.
attic bid may be accepted; that San
Francisco would thereby lose many
millions which the transport service
now brings her; that the city is much
stirred up, that nothing can be done
except to urge Secretary Root not 10
accept the bid, or file lower one with
in a week; that If the Seattle bid were
accepted it is proposed to begin ser
wee February /, 1903; that the con
tract would run only siz months; that
then San Francisco companies couid
present bids for future service,

 There are S10 pages in the book, which was compiled by the Wiggins Directorles Publishing Company of Columbus. ono, and many departments have been added to the work.
 The publishers of the directory claim that Montgomery has shown a marvellous growth in the past year. In their pre- fatory statement they say:
 Montgomery has shown healthy growth for the past year. While the director for 1902 shows a total of 12o45 names, the director for 1913 contains 16, b62 names. Estimating the population upon the basis of the names coptained in the directory and using the multiple 5, fhe average used by other cities, the population is 49.6s6. a net gain of 12O51, or about 31 per cent. over last year."
 The new directory contains much valua- bIe information. In addition to the directory of strets' public buildings and places 1t present list of the National, State.

REFUSED TO INVITE HER.
"seven Wise Men'' Decine to Re-
 quest of Presence of Miss Roosevelt

New Orleans. Jan. St--The Seven Wise Msn has declined to extend an invitation to Miss Alice Roosevelt. daughter of the President to attend the Mardi rCsas ball The reported req son is that the members of this order profess to dislike President Rooseveit's attitude to- ward the negroes.
 Miss Roosevelt will attend the carnival as guest of John McIlhenny. a member of ths Roosevelt Rough Riders during the Spanish American war, and when the question cana up of extending an invitation to her to at- tend the ball during Mardi Gras week ths members of the society decided not to invite her. The Seven Wise Men is a national secres order and Is not one of the carnival societies proper. The carnival societies are Rex. the Mystic Krewe of Proteus and the Knights of Comus. These organizations furnish the paeeanss. and each of them gives an annual ball during Mardi Gras week, which are attended by the leading members of the New. Orleans 4oo. The organizations are all secret and the in~ vitations to the balls are passed upon In se- cret session. No member is permitted to give out any information under penalty of expuI- sion. and il is, therefore, very difficult to as- certain the names of parties who have been rejected.
 It is said that the Rex Comus and Momns societies have issued invitations to Miss Raose- welt to attend thelr balls. and the cards have been or will be forwarded to Washington.

 One finds mcny quaint and curious names in the Directory. As if ordained by fate, there is but one Few-William H. clerk at the Western Railroad off, fices-and likewise but one New-Wil- liam T., machinist. Max Pestky is an amiable, quiet and good natured clothing merchant, notwithstanding his name. and Angel Mai is a candymaker. Israel KtaZ is dry goods merchant and Henry Maus Is an electrician. The Nestling family is numerous and the name of Munch is also printed several times.
 In the Directory is found the names of MT. Short and Mir. Long. Mir. Right and MT. Light, MT. Sheen and MT. Shank Mir. Self and Mir. Sirmon. MT. Lash and MT. Trott. Mir. Maudelin and MT. Wyser. MT. Rotton and MT. Rentsch, MT. Pye and MT. Sandwich, as we'll as MT. Feaster.
 Mir. Halfman is a gateman for the Lou isville and Nashville Railroad, and Mr. Fleeman is tailor. while Mir. Perlman is salesman. and MT. Fassman is a grocer.
 Among othehr uncommon names found In the directory are Nighten. ovens, Out law. Pfngstl, Pharr, Pipes, Poulnot, Tombstone, Runner, Magma, Quenin, Sal ley, Rhody, Slower. Grouber.
