THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
FOR WESTERN CANADA.

"There win be thousands of Amer.
leans coming up here in the Spring.

from the vicinity of Langdon. North
Dakota, when he arrived in Winni-
peg, Manitoba, the capital of West
ern Canada. a few days since. Hc
was the advance guard of a large
body who are following him, and he
has already invested in several farm.
ing sections for himself and Others
and purposes to take up his perma-
nent abode in this country. He went
on to say: Hundreds are coming
from my district alone / know this
to be fact, for many of them are
neighbors of mine. The chief topic
of conversation with the farmers is
the coming immigration in the
spring"
1.-The impression general in the
part Of Dakota where I live that
farmers can get from 10 to Is cents
more a bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than ON
the Canadian, has not prevented peo-
pie from turning their eyes to Cam
ada as place to live in. They know
they can get land in this country
which is every bit as fertile as that
in Dakota at about one-quarter tho
price. 1t is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations Of
all Canadians"

render of Gen. Lee your husband is en-
titled to release anyway, for he was
one of Lees brigadier generals"
Mrs. Clay thought not, and was sure
that she would have heard of it if her
husband had been a brigadier. But
Gen. Garland said: II remember very
distinctly that in the last days of the
confederacy voted in the senate for
the confirmation of Clement C. Clay
to be brigadier general. You must
go and see Gen. Grant, and see him
tonight, as understand he is going
away tomorrow, or very soon. Go to
Grant and tell him your husband was
one of Lees brigadier generals, and
ask for his release from prison.
In few minutes she was seated in
the carriage which Gen. Garland had
ordered for her and speeding to the
residence of the great federal general.
He had just finished his supper, but
greeted Mrs. Clay in his parlor, heard
her story in silence, then struck bell
and told the attendant who answered
it to send Gen. Badeau to him. Grant
introduced Mrs. Clay, and said: "Ba-
0SoO, PkCdSS IOOh anu sec WASlucI
Clement c. Clay is brigadier general
in the confederate army"
In very few minutes Badeau re-
turned with the statement that Mr.
Clay's rame appeared on the roster
as confederate brigadier, and at
once Gen. Grant wrote an order for
the release of the prisoner Hand
ing it 10 the grateful woman, he
said: Take that paper to the secre-
tary of war. don't think he will
throw it into the waste basket" The
self as he had barely time to reach
a train which was to take him out
west that very night.
On the following morning Mrs.
Clay called upon the secretary of
war, and was rudely received even
| by the messengers who had seen
how CURLY she had been received the
day before. She was told that it
would be useless for her to send in
see her. No farther than the mes.
sengers could she get until an army
officer came into the room. She

she had a note from Gen. Grant

fused to take in her card. The of
6cer said that he would do SO, anc
she gave him her card. In q few
minutes the bell rang, and mes
senger was told to admit Mrs. Clay
When she entered, Secretary Stanton
did not even look up, but grimly
said: II suppose you want to tell me
that story all over again. but it viii
be useless, as am too busy to lister
to it. That is all; good morning
But Mrs. Clay did not tremble at
frighted this time. On the contrary
she placed the order before him, say.
ing: THAT is all. Good morning.
She did not stop to even glance at
him. She knew that he would not
tear up that order. On the contrary
he approved it, and Mrs. Clay left for
Boston that afternoon, where she

2HE autocrat of the gardens II
Col. William Il. Smith, and he il
- a hero-worshiper. Nobody can
get any choice flowers from the Botan-
ical gardens except with the approval
of Col. Smith, who is the veteran SUI
Perintendent of those bowers; and,
nobody can get close to the heart Of
the genial Scot without knowledge of
Robert Burns, all that he wrote and
all that he was. Col. Smith worships
at the shrine of Bobbie Burns.
Not long ago a new EN- Der of con-
gress was told that admiration of
Burns, properly expressed in the pres
ence of the superintendent of the gar
dens would win him friendship of
value; for this superintendent of the
gardens directs the floral supplies for
all of the statesmen and their families.
The new me mber induced an old men,
Der to call with him and introduce him.
After the exchange of a few common
places, the new member noticed the
splendid collection OF Burns works,
and said: You deserve congratula-
tions for having such an excellent col
Like a raging, roaring lion the an
cry old man shouted: Jimmy Burns,
ignoramus; talk to me of Jake Wash
ington, Jimmy Grant, Billy Lincoln, or
show your ignorance in any other
way, but don't insult me in my own
den by talking of Jimmy Burns"
The new member went out of the
presence of the autocrat of the gar
dens, and what flowers he gets during
his term of service here will not give
him any foundation for Dragging
when he gets home.
During the civil war, when Early's
raiders came near capturing the ma
tional capital, Col. Smith was volun-
teer soldier and came near being cap
tured by his old friend, Gen. Brecken-
ridge. He tells an interesting story of
his experiences in the field, and what
a mastery retreat he made at double
quick for a couple of miles down Sew
enth street road, back to his botanical
gardens. He has a scrap book replete
with "reminiscences of those days, and
one of them gives an insight into the
character of Secretary Stanton and
interest every reader. 1t is story told
ny the late Attorney General Garland,
who had formerly been a member of
the confederate senate.
AT his hotel in this city, shortly after
Andrew Johnson had been advanced to
the presidency, Gen. Garland received
Q visit from the wife of Hon. Cleme mt
c. Clay, who had been captured and
confined at Fort Warren. She was adj
vised to call upon President johnson
In behalf of her husband, who was not
only in prison, but in delicate health.
She shrank from such an ordeal, be-
cause Andrew Johnson was regarded
as an ogre by all southern people of
the upper classes. They could not
comprehend how any southern man
could conduct himself as Johnson had
done. Gen. Garland assured her that
President Johnson would receive her
with courtesy, and that he would
treat her with kindness. Having grea
confidence in the wisdom of Gen. Gar
land, she finally concluded that she

FENCING WILL
BE A FEATURE

The gymnasium and field work of
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation will begin next Tuesday when
the ladies', or adult class meets for
instruction. Miss Lillian Bacon, who
spent the summer months at Harvard
studying the newest methods of physf-
cal instruction, will have charge of the
physical department, and will add
many new and interesting features.
Fencing lessons will be associated
with the adult class work. Miss Ba-
con is a capable rapier wielder, and
this innovation has appealed to mem
bers of the association. Fencing is
still the athletic indoor fad in the east,
and the effort will be made to have
it become the fad here. Among the
attractive features of the gymnasium
work will be dumb bells, bar bells, In
dian clubs, wands, punching bag, fly
ing rings, jumping standard, rounding
ball, medicine ball, and a large variety
of gymnasium games. Basket ball

PEOPLE We KNOW
They Are Honolulu People
and What They Say is of
Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disappear
ing. This is due to the actual expert
ence Of our citizens, and their public
utterances regarding them. The doubt
a. -st doubt no more in the face of
such evidence as this. The public state
ment of reputable citizen living right
in Honolulu, one whom You can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.
Mrs. N. Joseph lives at the corner
of Liliha and King streets. this city.
She states as follows: "I was troubled
for seven months with a lame back
and also suffered from occasional at

plants made my condition by no means
a happy one, so that 1 much desired
some remedy which would bring relief.
This found in Doan's Backache Kid

the HOLSTER Drug Co.'s store. I am
pleased to say that they gave me not
merely temporary but permanent relief

OLD MAN KILLED
BY ELECTRIC CAR

Kalawai, an aged native man, was
struck by an electric car at Richards
street on the Hotel street line yester-
day. His clothes caught in the fender
and he was carried some distance
humping on the ground. When picked
up he was unconscious and in that con-
dition was sent in the patrol wagon to
the Queens Hospital. Kalawai linger-
ed until 9 o'clock last night, when he
died without having recovered con-
seriousness.
Motorman Dalton and Conductor
John M. Bright were in charge of the
car that struck the man. 1t is suppos I'd
that the. victim was deaf and did nc.
hear the gong. There was no external
fracture found on Kalawai and the be-
lief at the hospital was that death was
caused by hemorrhage of the brain.

A PRINCE AMONG
US UNAWARES

Something less than twelve months
ago Hilo had the honor of entertain
ing, unawares, en- route to the volcano,
a representative of one of the strongest
European powers now interested in the
Oriental trade.
This princes mission was to visit all
countries and examine so far as pos
sible, incog., the Notifications, naval
and supply stations.
A traveller who met him in Seattle
and Vancouver, and again in Honolu-
lu, and who was aware of his true po-
sition with his home government. asked
him to express his opinion of the ISL
ands commercially. He said that
there was no question but what Ha-
waits planters had the art of sugar
making down finer than any sugar
producing country, and that they with
their superior machinery, labor and
methods should be able to compete
with any country, but that the time
would come when the Islands would
require other industries. The Islands
had a great future before them; if the
Panama canal project matured, as it
undoubtedly would, their value in mar
thine channels of the Pacific ocean
was hard to estimate.-Side Lights.

AN OAKLAND PIONEER.

In telling his story yesterday Brown
began by saying that he was born in
Oakland II years ago. Unless some
Indian springs up to contradict his
claim, this makes him the Adam of the
across-the-bay metropolis. At the age
of 10, SO his narrative runs, he ran
away from his Oakland home Chat
would be in the year 1s42) and boarded
a sailing vessel which had anchored off
shore for the purpose of taking on
load of hides. With her he sailed to
the port of Boston, and for twenty
years was tar on the Atlantic sea-
board. During this time he had arisen
to be a skipper, and in 1852 visited this
port, he says, in command of a big
sailing ship.
Fifteen years ago the old captain re-
tired from the sea and went to live in
peace and quiet in Rhode Island vii
lage. He often grew reminiscent, how
ever, and told wonderful tales of adj
venture. About five years ago he Wis
tied this city, and in the lobby of his
hotel he recounted some of his strange
adventures. His words fell on ears
which believed, and when he told of
the $4,000. 900 treasure buried in an ISL

sent to this scheme. and it seems that
the good schooner Herman sailed about
for nearly a year, touching at many
ports, but never once on the distant
horizon was sighted the hay blue out

Captain Brown explains this by saying
that it was impossible for him to go to
the island so long as the spirits of the
dead pirates who buried it there how
cred about to guard the treasure. Just
