MILITARY VALUE
HELPED ANNEXATION
VERY PROBABLE THAT STRATE-
GTCAL IMPORTANCE OF HAWAII
INFLUENCED SENATORS.

1t is very probable that the opinion
Of the strategical Importance of the
Hawaiian Islands from military
standpoint, had almost as much weight
i'm causing their annexation to the
United States as any other cause The
opinion of Major General Macarthur
on the subject of the importance to the
United States of terrifying and holding
the Hawaiian Islands as detailed by
him during the course of an interview
in the Star yesterday, shows clearly
the sentiment that is held by military
people regarding Hawaii.
General A. S. Hartwel was asked
by a representative of the Star this
morning for information on the in
huenCe upon annexation of the sup
posed military Importance of Hawaii,
and in response to the request spoke
as follows:
In December of 1897, as l was leav-
ing Boston, Edward Atkinson remark
ed to me, 1 don't believe you are GO
ing to get annexation. Mr.. Hoar tells
me he is against it unless the defense Of
the country requires it,. l was intend
ing to take the Sunset Limited via st.
Louis where l had arranged to meet old
friends when l got telegram in New
York from Mr.. Thurston at Washing
d
day or two. Important
Il went there and found that f. M
Hatch, the Hawaiian Minister and his
assistant James B. Castle and Mr..
Thurston had heard that Senator Hoar
was opposed to annexation. 1t was evil
dent that if he took that view in the
Senate he would carry a large number
of the conservative Senators of New
England with him. They had talked
with Senator Frye of Maine upon the
probability of Senator Hoar changing
his views. They sent for me to inter-
view Senator Hoar. 1 did so and in
ferred from his remarks that while he
did not favor the monarchy in any
way, he did not favor anneXing Ha-
wall. l then wrote to General Scofleld
who was in Florida and asked him to
write to Senator Hoar of his views Of
the Importance of Hawaii to the de-
fence of the Pacific coast and to wire
me whether his letter would go. l re-
ceived a telegram from him just before
| started west, saying he had written,
as l had requested, to Senator Hoar
L had known General ScOfield well
since before the Civil War when he was
professor of mathematics in a univer-
Sity at st. Louis in which I was a
tutor | had long known his opinion of
the strategical Importance to the Unit
ed States of Hawaii. l also wrote a
similar letter to Captain Mahan whom
did not know, so l went to Mr. Roose-
welt, then Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy, and told him about these things
fully, and asked him If he would, give
me letter to accompany my letter to
Captain Mahan. He Immediately die
tated such a letter expressing in most
vigorous language his ideas of what
ought to be done.
Il have good reason to believe that
the letters which General Scofield and
Captain Mahan wrote to Senator Hoar
had much weight with the Senator"

The Home Vegetable Garden,

All who own or rent homes should
raise their own vegetables, but quite
often ii is the farmer who owns the
largest number of acres who does not
raise one-tenth of the vegetables used
on the place. In planning for the home
garden this year try to have some
thing new. Few ever try to raise the
cauliflower, knowing nothing of this
most delicious of all vegetables. 9th
ers try but fail because seeds are start
ed in open ground, when they should
be started in hot beds very early in the
season. Soil must be well enriched
with a good manure. This vegetable
requires n high state of cultivation to
bring 1t to perfection. and moisture is
one of Its most essential requirements.
Some varieties are naturally self
blanching, while the outer leaves must
be tied over heads of others to insure
their snowy whiteness. Late sown
sorts are best grown in shade of fence
or buildings. The satisfy or vegetable
oyster is one of our best vegetables,
and is indispensable for soups. This
not very well known root is like the
parsnip, and like 1t one of the few
winter vegetables, hardy enough to be
left where it grows and dug when
needed. This is sown in rows, or
ridges like beets and can he sown at
gardening time in April. Have toma-
toes, radishes and summer squashes in
abundance. Many gardeners make one
planting of peas and then stop. They
should be planted at intervals of two
weeks from early April until June, and
then one can have them in succession
for quite while. Have plenty of late
beans, for the October beans are usu-
ally more appreciated than the early
summer sorts. Sweet corn planted at
intervals during the summer will give
one any number of delicious puddlngs
until frost. Do not make the mistake
Of waiting until planting time and then
making the garden of whatever hap
pens to be on hand, but make your
plans early, and order fresh seeds
from some reliable scotsman, then you
will not be disappointed in poor seed
when too late 10 remedy your mistake.

How 10 Sell Ponltrx.

1t is impossible to create n demand
for any commodity unless we give
prominence TO It. and let the public
know of its merits.
This is true, not alone of fancy poul-
try and eggs for breeding, but also Of
market poultry and eggs, where a pri-
vate trade is sought.
The fancier must exhibit his stock
and show TO the public that the fowls
are not only good, but that they have
been bred from strains that will re-
produce good fowls.
The man who sells eggs and poultry
must advertise and let the public know
what he has to sell. When n customer
is secured especial care must be given
so that no fault can be found.
The time is at hand when publicity
must be given, and no one can hope to
succeed who hides Lis business from
the public's gaze.
The incubator manufacturer has set
a good example of enterprising public
ity, and the poultry producers must fol-
low his example. Furnish the public
something good, and you can we'll af-
ford to let the world know it.-Home

Eradicatlng weeds.

"How can we eradicate daisies and
similar weeds?" is asked at every meet
ing. There are some reasons for the
appearance of weeds which, If under
stood, will show us what to do. One
of natures laws is that something must
be kept growing on the land. This is
for the purpose of protection. When
the desirable, more complex plants fail
to grow coarser ones come In. Make
the soil congenial and comfortable
home, so those plants wanted can
thrive, and the coarser ones disappear.
One of the surest ways of getting rid
of daisies is to use plenty of manure.
A second reason is the neglect to pre-.
vent their seeding. A common practice
is to NOW the fences after haying or
harvest. At this time most of the foul
weeds have matured seed over great
er space than II let alone. Many of
them when cut early will form a Sec
ond crop. which is rarely looked after.
A third reason Is the system Of using
machines and abandoning the hoe.

A DeIiuhtfuI Prison.

1t is very doubtful II there is any
where a more delightful prison than
that of Tobel, in Switzerland. There
are very few guards, not more than one
to every 25 prisoners, and they never
think of carrying arms. The prison.
ers' cells are constantly open, so that
the inmates can easily communicate
with each other and can tell at any
time what the guards are doing More
over, the prisoners are allowed to have
paper, ink, newspapers, cider and vari-
GUS daintles from the kitchen, -includ-
ing fried eggs, of which they are very
fond. One would suppose that pris-
oners would not desire to leave such
an earthly paradise as this, yet three
notorious murderers-Lohrer, Schmid
and Hess-quietly strolled away from
1t recently, and, 1t is said, have not as
yet shown any inclination to return.

Russia's Salt Lakes.

Probably the most remarkable lake
in the world is one with coating of
salt that completely conceals the water
1t may be seen at any time during the
year, fully exposed, being seen at its
best when the sun is shining directly
upon it. This body of water is one
of the saltiest of the salt lakes, and is
situated near Obdorsk, Siberia, says
the London Globe. The lake is 8
miles wide and II long. The salt coat
increases six inches in thickness every
year. The many inslands with which
the lake is studded are said to act as
braces and to help keep the arched salt
crust in position.
