TO THE PERUVIAN
SUGAR FIELDS
r. +. SEDGw1CK, FORMERLY
WITH KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL,
LEAVES FOR A NEW FIELD.

Thomas f. Sedgwick sails today by
the Sierra, en- route to Lima, Peru, TO
enter upon "A course of experimental
work for the sugar planters of Peru.
Mr.. SedgwiCk's agreement with the
planters call for six months service in
an examination and analysis of the
soils of the sugar regions of Peru, to
determine in a preliminary way what
may be hoped or expected from ferti-
lizers in increasing the productivity of
the soil of Peru.
Upon the results of these investiga-
lions and reports will depend whether
or not the service shall contiAue. If
there is reason to believe that scien-
tific culture and methors can increase
the output of the Peruvian sugar plan
tations, then Mr.. Sedgwick will remain
permanently in Peru and will be pro-
vided with a completely fitted up lab
oratory and an experiment station with
all necessary appliances and assistants
will be provided, and the most system
attic work in scientific cultivation of
sugar in Peru will be undertaken.
The negotiations for Mr.. Sedgwicks
services were conducted with w w.
Dimond x Co, through Grace Bros, the
Peruvian branch of W. r. Grace & Co.
of New York which has very extensive
South American interests, and which is
largely interested in sugar growing in
Peru.
T. F. Sedgwick came here several
years ago to take charge of the depart
ment 0f agriculture at the Kamehame-
ha school for Boys. When the United
States Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton was established here under the di-
rection of DR.. Jared Smith, Mr. Sedg-
wicks services were secured and he
has conducted a large number of i'm
portant and valuable investigations in
connection with agriculture in these
islands. He was employed by the Mar
Gus Island Company to accompany the
Julia f. Whalen expedition under COM
mand of Captain Andrew Rosehill, to
investigate the value and extent of the
guano deposits on Marcus Island. The
occupancy of the island by a detach-
ment of Japanese marines prevented
the carrying out of this service as fully
as was hoped.

IN MEMORIAM

Hidalgo, Texas, Feb. 13.-Al-
though not unexpected, the news
that reached this place this morning,
announcing the death of Mrs. Annie
]. ClOsner, cast a gloom over the
whole community. Every man,
woman and child felt that they had
lost a friend, and the poor and
needy a benefactress. Death has
relieved her of her Sufferings, and
her noble, generous soul is at rest.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
the stricken family and relatives.
Much might be said of the virtues
of the deceased, but we will only
say that all who knew her loved
her. Could tears have availed
aught, or signs have stayed her
parting breath, she would still be
alive. Or if the disembodied spirit
can linger near her loved ones, she
can read recorded in a hundred
hearts grief tos deep and sacred
to trust to the pen of scribe or to
the chisel of sculptor.
All truly mourn, but the mother
has other offspring to soothe her
anguish, and the brothers and sist
ers can comfort one and the other.
Time will assuage the grief OF the
motherless children. But what
can fill the void in the heart of him
whom she took by the hand many
years ago, and pledged her lifelong
allegiance, to share his joys and
sorrows-and how faithfully she
ever kept that VOW. Time will
efface the grief of others, but for the
disconsolate husband, as long as
memory lasts, twill remain. And
it is to him that we should extend
our sympathy.

BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Crowded House Enjoyed the En-
tertainment Last Evening.

The musical and dramatic enter
talnment given by the pupils of tn,
lncarnate Word Academy last ev
ening at the opera house was
brilliant success, and the able man
ager OF the affair, Miss NJ. z. Duffy
as well as the young ladies who SC
heartily cooperated with her, have
cause to feel highly gratitied at the
result. The opera house was crowd
ed with a select audience, and all
were apparently much pleased with
the entire program. Each performer
did we'll, and some evinced unusual
ability. All were enthusiastically
applauded.
The program opened with a brill
liant piano duet, la Chase In
female" which was well executed
by Misses May and Octavia Sean
Ian. The other piano selections were.
a solo Illusion y Desengaho" by
Miss Magdalena Fernandez, who is
an accomplished pianiste; another
solo, LA Argentina" by Miss NJ.
Guinea of Matamoros, also a talent
ed performer; and a duet I'll Tro-
vatore," by Misses Anita and Eta
Kowalski, who rendered the selec-
ton very pleasingly.
The choruses, fCome Let Us
Dance" and Moonlight Will Come
Again" by pupils of the convent
were very fine. Among the most
features were the two
drills, which were executed with
grace and precision by number
Of pretty girls, being much enjoyed
by the audience.
The recitation of the Tragedy !
Of Blind Margaret" in costume, by
Mrs. p. Merrill Griffith of Malta
moroS was excellent. The pathetic
story of the poor blind girl was so
realistically portrayed by the talent
ed artistic, rs to bring tears TO the
eyes of her entranced hearers. She
was warmly encored. The second |
recitation by Mrs. Griffith, THE
Heart Rending Affair."" was also
most entertaining, being equally as
we'll rendered.
Mr.. Mulholland of Fort Brown |
also pleased the audience greatly |
with his comic song, "The Scaven-
ger Brigade" and was loudly en-
cored, kindly returning and sing
ing a second song, to the delight of
the audience.
The minstrel performance was
very amusing, and the ladies PROV
ed themselves quite as good in this
role as the amateurs of the opposite
sex. 1t is regretted that the fair
performers were incOnnuS, which |
prevents their receiving individual |
credit for the success they made. |
Aunt Chloe was a most entertain
ng character, and the musical farce,
n which all of the MINISTRIES par
made an appropriate and
rery enjoyable finale to the even
ng's entertainment.
The amount of the proceeds was
lot learned, but must have been
Iuite large, judging by the crowded
appearance of the building. The
aides are to be congratulated upon
heir great success.
