THE PARKER RANCH LITIGATION.

This litigation is very important and
is attre citing much attention, both IN
Honolulu and on the Island of Hawaii.
The ranch consists of about 3OO'Ooo
acres. The main business is that OF
raising and selling cattle and other
stock. 1t was started by John P. Par
ker. the grandfather of Colonel Samuel
Parker, prior to 1864, and has since
been greatly enlarged In his WILL
made in 1854, John P. Parker divided
his property chiefly between his son,
Holm P. Parker Junior, and his grand
son. Colonel Parker, and desired that
it be continued. The second John +
Parker and Colonel Parker. who was
his nephew. were in partnership, and

his will, in addition to other devlses
and requests, divided his land and
stock between Colonel Parker and

has always been lucrative. In tAe same
will last mentioned, it was provided
that, if John P. Parker the third died
under the age of twenty, his lawful
issue should take his share. He died
before he reached that age, and his
daughter, Annie T. K Parker inner

BAIT MIGHT GET STALE.

Joseph Jefferson believes in early
marriages. AT Yale recently he advised
a group of juniors to marry as soon as
they could afford it. Then he went on:
IT abominate bachelors. The older
they grow the more conceited they
grow. L took one down a peg, though,
the other day.
He was talking about this woman
he had known and that woman he had
known, and all these women, it seems,
had married.
Why, you,' said, are in danger
of getting left. Why don't you, too, get
married before it is too late?'
Oh, said the bachelor with a
chuckle, there are still plenty of good
fish in the sea-
But the bait said Isn't there
danger of the bait becoming stale?' =

The report from London that the Jap
anese and Russians are fighting along
a front of 12o miles can hardly mean
what it says. No battle line was ever
that long. Probably the news implies
that the Japanese are making stimuli
taneous attacks upon all the Russian
advance positions, which are wide
apart, though the main force, of neces-
sfty, must be near the railroad where
Russian activity centers.

THE HONE PURCHASING SOCIETY.

Tt is reported on good authority, that
the Cooperative Home Purchasing So
ciety is taking in from two TO three
thousand dollars a month from the peo-
pie of these islands, mainly natives and
Portuguese The Society, so far as we
are able to learn, is managed by man
named Strauch, who is now being sued
by P. H. Brunette to collect a debt
and it consists of his wife, sister of
George Markham; E. T. Rodgers
identity not known. and c. II. Sedge-
beer. who is supposed to be an en-
ploye of. the Fire department.
The! method by which the money is
obtained is made clear in a circular a
man who wants to get a nome Is III
vited to subscribe for as many Sooo
loans as he desires, paying S4.4O Per
month on each chance to qualify hlin-
self for the loans up to the time Wheh
the money may be available HIS turn

ont of his further subscriptions. In d
case cited in the circular a man got ms
$1,000 home paid for in Zoe months or De
tween eight and nine yea1s
This method of doing business may
produce the result Indicated providing
the custodians of the money are secure
1y bonded in a responsible concern are
personally responsible and are under
the strict surveillance of a local cor
ration Iaw-not the law of New Jer-
sav or North Dakota, but of Hawaii
Unless such conditions are observed
there is no certainty that the subscrib-
ers will ever get their money back
The thing for anyone to do who is
askad TO 90 into the Cooperative Home
Purchasing Society is to satisfy him
self on these points:
I. Is the Society backed by a soild
financial institution with a Dun or
Bradstreet rating?
III. Are its local managers people OF
property and financial responsibility
and are they under bonds that can be
III. Does the Society deposit its
funds in any bank?
". IL not, why not?
V. What guarantee is there that
those who hold the money will do what
they have agreed to do?
VI. Are the contracts for loans sign
ed by anyone whom it would be worth
while to sue?
VII. Is the business of the Society
subject to the oversight of the Terri
torial Auditor, or any other responsible
These are the usual test questions OF
responsibility which men who ask the
privilege of keeping other people
money for them, expect to meet. Have
they been put to the Cooperative Home
Purchasing Society? And is it enough
for the Society to say that its books
are open?" The question brought up
Is not one of bookkeeping but OF

 So I suddenly made a swift move, gathered up the goods in my arms and departed. 1 strode down Fifth avenue -"aIl in me Sunday regalia." mind you; purple cloth tailor made, white gloves and tulle bow-carrying what appeared to be the family wash. There wasn't an empty hanson, there wasn't a coach in sight. Nothing for 1t but to walk those five deadly blocks and to cut dead every one l knew l finally disappeared into a doorway and fell on the neck of a dressmaker who be- longs to an enemy of mine. Weeping few weeps and declaring that never again would I have my clothes made by any one who was not from Chicago (she halls from there), persuaded her to flag my friends things until the week after next and to put me on the main track in the express, so to speak.
 And then I departed, feeling better. because I Knew l had performed two good actions.
 But, just the same, it's pretty near true about the Chicago drossmakers. Next to the Parlsian modistes. give me the Chicagoans.

Only one impression re- mained with me-what an awfully fine man the wicked 'lidy" would have made and what an awful nice boarding school of girls the gentlemen" of the piece would have made! And why Is 1t, will you tell me, that sheer wicked ness often spells strength and good ness the opposite? Is 1t because it takes some courage to be really bad? Ger tainly you have society against you, and as a sporting proposition my sym pathy goes to the plucky under dog, no matter what the fight is about. I don't know. But I do know this-that when ever she appeared on the scene of ac- tion the men all looked like puppets, even the villain who walkd around on moral tiptoes part of the time. But she strode in flat heeled recklessness from start to finish. and she didn't once finch even though the cards kept turning up against her. That Is why l have contended that plays where the good wins out all along the line are distinctly immoral, for if you are the least bit of thoroughbred your sym pathies are bound to go out to the hunted. And if you're not a thorough bred-well 1t doesn't much matter then what you feel anyway.

It was a scholarly effort, and from his statement the girls were shown to be smarter than the boys. Of course various receptions and entertainments occurred at intrevals.

SOME BIG PRICES
 PAID FOR SERMONS.

Probably the highest sum ever paid for a sermon goes each year to lucky German preacher. who receives $500 for his effort In 1890 a wealthy French Baron named Favart who lived in Elberfeld, died and bequeathed his money to the Protestant Church there, on the condition that 1t should be in- vested and the interest given annually to some clergyman. chosen haphazard from those holding the poorest livings in the see, on condition that he preach a short sermon extolling the good deeds of the dead Baron. It Is gener- ally delivered on the first Sunday in June, after the regular morning ser vice, and being of only half hours du- ration. is paid for at the rate of $120 minute.
 Each year the sum of $1 ,25o for ser mon of ten minutes duration Is paid for what Is known as the golden ser mon," which may be preached in any church within a radius of six miles of Haberdashers' Hall, London. Many years ago a man named William Jones died and left a large sum of money to the Haberdashers' Company, stipuIat- ing that the interest was to be given to the preacher of the best sermon within the radius mentioned. As this was a somewhat difficult matter for the company to decide 1t was deter mined to distribute $75O among the cIergymen of the East End and pay the remainder of the $2, 900, which was the annual interest, to the preacher of the golden sermon" This discourse Is never preached twice in the same church.
 Large prices are paid for other ser mons. Each year on the anniversary of Queen Vlctoria's accession to the throne, a sermon is delivered in Dur ham Cathedral which must not be more than a quarter of an hour in duration. For this the preacher receives $SO. There is nothing to show how the GUS tom originated.
 Many have heard of the lion thanksgiving sermon which is preached in a fashionable church in London each year. In the seventeenth century

 The eigth annual commencement of the Alabama Girls Industrial School occurred at Montevallo is over. This tn- stitution of training and learning. though young in years, is gigantic in growth and development: The in- struction is most thorough in every de- partment, and the Industrial Exhibits were very perfect. Besides a thorough collegiate course, instruction is given in dress making. sewing, millinery. cooking. telegraphy, stenography. typewriting, physical training, phar- macy. elocution, art, vocal and instru- mental music; and other departments are yet to be added to the school The enrolment the past session was 470. The faculty is composed of a President and 27 teachers. Godliness and thor ougness, are the prime factors, that has made this school for Alabama girls, the pride of the State. The pu- pills came from o5 counties in Ala bama. The cost of attending the school, has been reduced to the small and this includes board, laundry, medi- tendance in future years, will be num- bered only by the accommodations that can be had at Montevallo. Very much remains to complete the buildings, and equip the school, but Alabama will do that.

But that did not afflict me as it might. You have to give them more goods anyway no matter how much you get. The good dressmaker clothes her youngest with the extra yards; the poor dressmaker puts it into your gown by an ingenious system of cutting out duplicate sections until she happens to hit the right angle. But I'd rather clothe the family, if you give me my choice, for at least one doesn't have to stand and be fitted for them.

Costs Less Than Equally Good Accom- mOdatiOns Outside theNFair Graunds.
 The biggest summer resort hotel in the United States Is located at St. Louis, inside the Worlds Fair grounds Thous- ands of persons spend a month or so at the seashore or in the mountains. during the heated term, at summer re- sort hotels. This year those who are able to enjoy an extended season of 'tresorting" have something new to try. Seashore and mountain, after many seasons, pail upon one. But here is d wonderful way.
 The Inside Inn accommodates 6,000 guests. It is inside the Worlds Fair enclosure. and yet is so located that it has all the advantages of a home in the woods. The natural trees of Forest Park surround the Inside Inn. There are many acres of noble trees. with the handsome state buildings here and there, so that the hotel appears to be located in a select suburban section of a beau tiful city. Being open to the south and situated on high ground. there is an unobstructed sweep of southern breezes. Far away from the dust and grime of the city, and yet within a few minutes walk of the heart of the Worlds Fair, this hotel offers greater inducements as a place of summer resort than any other hostelry in the world this sea- son.
 The Inn is far from the seashore, but 1t is so near the wonderful Cascade Gardens of the Exposition that the roar of the leaping and dashing waters is audible. There is no beach and board walk, with band-stand music; but there is the magnificent Festival Hall, with It's world of famous oVchestras and its ponderous pipe organ.
 Guests at the Inside Inn have all the comforts of home while they are seeing the Worlds Fair, and 1t is not to be doubted that a great many individ- uals. families and parties will do their summer resorting there this season.
