THE GOVERNOR
IS COMING
And General Bell and the
Governors Staff.
They will Help Florence to Cele-
brate Independence Day. The
Committee is Doing the
Right Sort of Work.

AS The Tribune has said before in
this connection, Florence never does
things by halves. and this year s
Fourth of July celebration will only
be anot her proof of the assertion.
The Fourth of July committee has
not only provided for splendid line
of events for the day. but to add eclst
to the occasion an invitation was sent
to Governor Peabody and his military
staff and to General Sherman Bell and
staff, and the invitations were prompt
ly accepted. The committee received
the letters of acceptance this morning
and the members are now formulat-
ing plans for fittingly entertaining the
distinguished visitors The COVER
nor's letter is as follows:

Holmes, Matt Carroll, II. + Hoff-
man, W. NJ. Sheridan, Florence.

favor OF the 18th inst. inviting my
self and staff to be with you upon

be my pleasure to accept your invita-
tioD and to be with you upon the
aforementioned occasion IN company

Governor.
General Bells letter is just as cor
dial but is not as brief as the gov.
ernor's. 1t contains bit of dry
humor and shows that he writes much
as he talks, and from this can be seen
how easy il is to address him as 'Sher-
man. instead of General. His
letter follows:

ONCE MANAGED
A SUGAR ESTATE

Martin Richter, whose position was
that Of assistant manager in the Of
fees of the Swiss Marine Insurance
Company, at 315 California street, ended
his life yesterday afternoon with bui-
let. What prompted Richter to destroy
his life is mystery. and the manager
of the company refuses to talk. Illness
is given as a possible cause, but a let
ter left by the unfortunate man to his
wife contains statements that lead the
police to believe that money troubles
may be involved.
Richter was native of Germany
and about IS years of age. He resided
with his wife at $50 Clayton street.
They had no children. He was a man.

for many years, but came to this city
about eleven years ago and secured

he knows there was nothing wrong
with Richter's accounts, but since news
of the suicide reached him an investi-
cation will be commenced at once. At

BARRY AFRAID OF
CALIFORNIA LAWS

Dave Barry has an idea that prize
fighting in California may get set
back because of the recent fatality in
the ring, and that laws may be enacted,
as in many of the other States, pro-
hibiting prize fights.
THAT doesn't say that it's danger
ous,'' declares Barry. THE manly
sport, when engaged in by experienced
pugilists, is just as safe as it is for any
other individuals to walk up street.
Accidents may happen TO either one or
the other, and there is just as much
chance of the pedestrians being run
down or subjected to some unforeseen
fatality as there is fer the men in the
ring TO be put out of business

SMALL BLAZE ON
PACIFIC HEIGHTS

Fire on Pacific Heights yesterday aft
ernoon came near destroying the resi-
dence occupied by C. C. Henion of the
waterhouse Trust Co. A spark from
burning trash fell on the roof of the
house and ignited the dry shingles. a
motorman passing on his car saw the
blazing roof and attempted to warn the
occupants of the house by repeated
ringing of the gong This had no effect
however and the car was stopped and
both motornan and conductor rushed %
the house to assist in saving il from
destruction Neighbors also came to
the rescue and the fire was extinguish-
ed with little loss. Quite a portion OF
the roof was burned. Mr.. HeIlion had
his hand cut while assisting in extin-
gushing the blaze. None of the furni-
ture was damaged.

AFTER OUR
PINEAPPLES
Coast Canneries
Want Island
Fruit.
Byron 0. Clark Talks Of
Possibilities OF
Industry.
The Colony at Wahiawa Win Grow
300.0 600 PineappIss
This Year.

Representatives of various large fruit
canneries on the mainland who have
been in Honolulu during the past few
weeks have given decided impetus TO
the pineapple industry of the islands.
There is a growing demand for Ha-
quality and the care taken in their Gull
tivation and preparation for market.
Byron O. Clark, the founder of the Wa
hiawa colony, is more encouraged than
ever, over the outlook for small farming
in the islands and is enthusiastic over
the prospects for the pineapple indus
try.
Probably nothing else could so GER
tainly indicate the splendid outlook for
the pineapple industry as the appear
ance here during the past two weeks Of
representatives of some of the largest
fruit-canning concerns in the United
States, one of these being Hunt Bros,
of Oakland, Cal, said Mr.. Clark.
I'VE folks here in Hawaii have all
along known that eventually our pine
apples would command the foremost
attention as much-desired article for
canning, in which We have had good
start.
Now that we have large interests
viewing our superior pines with salts
faction, the future markets will in all
probability be greatly increased, and
the industry advanced to its rightful
position, which evidently will be ahead
of the Bahamas and Florida in a short
| time.
Our colony at Wahiawa, it is ex-
/ pected confidently, will during the COM
| ing season grow from 250,00o 10 zoos

for 1904.

In past years. says the native gov

there is protection when we dwell un-
der the flag of the government of the

Many evil customs have grown in
Samoa since heather times, with ignor-
ance in years gone by, because there
was no instruction in civilized ways
and wise methods, such as practiced
under your authority and the govern
ment of the United States of America,
in that there is not another great power
which can protect with such honor.
I'VE desire to represent to you our
request Let it be the pleasure of your
excelleney and the government of Sa-
moa to continue in that way toward

generation in wise subjects.
There are now in this portion of
eastern Samoa, Manua, between 40o
and 500 children who are ignorant OF

we desire some assistance from your
excellency and the government where
we are unable to help ourselves.
