BISHOP RESTARICK
RAISES SO, 584.9O

Bishop Restarick scored triumph
yesterday when he raised $s,584.so to-
ward the fund to be used in completing
st. Andrews Cathedral. At all the ser
vices for Easter Sunday the contribu-
tions, in cash, pledges and subscrip-
tions, amounted to the above sum
which is a third of the entire amount
necessary.
Since Bishop Restarick assumed
charge of the diocese of the Hawai-
ian Islands less than two years ago,
he has looked forward to the time when
the money for completing the cathedral
edifice could be raised He has put
forth every effort to induce Episcopal
lians to contribute of their means to this
fund, and yesterday had the satisfac-
ton of receiving a substantial Offering

THE LAND COURT.

There are other things of less public
necessity, which can be dispensed with
In the Territorial plan of economy bet
ter than the Torrens land court.
Titles to land in Hawaii are in un-
settled state. Purchasers of real es-
tate are required TO trace back through
years OF changes and descriptions of
metes and bounds of uncertain ac-
curacy, and designated by Hawaiian
names which in all cases have not been
carried down to the present day.
Weeks are often required in the
searching of records. and a title under
the old system is not only expensive
but litigation does not always end with
the passing of the deed. Hawaii has
more need of a system such as the
Torrens land registration than prob
ably any other state or territory.
Eventually the land court will
straighten all the real estate tangles
in the islands, and with the Torrens
system better understood, the process
win be one of only a few years II
economy requires a reduction OF ex-
penses in that particular court, there
is no reason why this cannot be done.
Probably the court could be continued
in mere skeleton shape, with only
Judge and clerk, and If need be these
could be made fee rather than salaried
officials In measure the court IS
sell supporting now, applicants Tor
registration paying fee for the ser
vice, which becomes government re-
aIization. Rather than see the law
repealed and thus unloading the work
which it may again take years to ac-
conaplish, the court might be put en-
tireEy on the fee basis for a limited
period and be maintained at a mini
mum expense to the taxpayers A few
titles have already been registered un-
der the provision Of the Torrens act
and the Territory is under moral IL
not a legal obligation to maintain
them. To appeal the law now would
certainly be a backward step.

another crowded house. Many of those
who were disappointed on Saturday in
securing seats, bought for tonight in

other Nawns have series of cele-
brated sketches IA Touch of Nature

all the others have lengthy repertoire

take in South Africa over the same
route laid out by Rial with the Worlds

thought, be in fine fettle by the time

their excellence will surely help far to-

The movement which has resulted in
the organization of a Board of Trade
in Hilo and Civic Federation in Wal
luku can only be productive of good
for Hawaii. Heretofore the various
business organizations in Honolulu
have borne the brunt of the campaign
in Washington and at home for meas
ures from which the entire Territory
derived a benefit. Petitions with the
added weight OF organized influence
from Hawaii and Maui win naturally
impress Congress more than resolutions
coming from Honolulu alone, even
though they might voice the wishes of
all the islands.

2IIsaA.s coal RESOURCES.

The London Financial News declares
that it is too often assumed that be-
cause Russia is largely woodworking
country and a considerable importer OF
British coal her own coal supplies are
insignificant. A greater mistake could
not be made If her economic develop
nnent had depended on wood fuel or oil
1T could never have reached its present
proportions; and, although progress is
slow in Russia, when compared with
England, America or Germany, it can
not be denied that she has made great
strides, from a commercial point of
view. within the last twenty-five years
strides that have only become pos
sible by the rapid exploitation of her
unquestionable mineral wealth The
native coal may not always be of high
quality, but it has sufficed for indus
trial expansion remarkable alike in ex-
tent and character. In 1877 the coal
output of European Russia was no
more than 1,774,1s tons; twenty years
later the production had risen to H.
Os2. 25S tons, and there has been note
worthy annual increase since then, the
total figures for all the centers in 1901
having equaled 16, 2T0, GOO tons. Added to
this, the Asiatic dominions of the Car
have been brought into closer touch
with Russia proper by means of the
railway. and it is stated that in Sibe-
ria. as in the Ural region, vast coal re-
serves have thus been rendered avail
able. The Eskibastus district, to the
south of Omsk, is estimated to contain
200, 600, 600, 900 pools, or over 5000, 100000
IONS. while the reserves in the Ural
mountains are inexhaustible in quanti-
fy. 1t is true this coal has high per-
centage of ash and sulphur. but it is
used very largely for railway and navi-
CATION purposes in European Russia,
and, we may be certain, has also found
its way farther east. Again, in the
Donetz basin the coal resources are
such as to preclude the possibility of
famine, the yield being about 11,500,0oO
tons both in 1900 and 1901 There are
supplies in this district alone sufficient
to last for eight hundred years at the
present rate of production. which pro-
crosses at something like 100000 pools
per annum. Then there are the Dom
brovski fields in Poland, which cover
an immense area. and. although the
quality of this coal is also rather in
ferior, it makes UP in output for its
deficiencies. the quantity dispatched by
land carriage in 1901 being ISIS, 7eo
tons. II viii thus be seen that, while
quite a young industry, coal mining is
carried on very extensively in Russia;
that the production, already large, is
constantly increasing, atoning in size
for defects of quality. and that. other
things being equal, the empire can wen
afford. in the matter of its coal sup
plies, to depend upon its own Internal
resources.

MOVING PICTURES
JUST THE THING

Editor Advertiser: I most heartily
agree with you in what you say in the
sunday Advertiser about the character
of Hawaii's exhibit at St. Louis. A
weIl-chosen and well made set of stere-
opticon and biograph pictures viii keep
crowd before it every hour of the
day. In this age people love the spec
tacular The eye must be appealed to.
Moving pictures are everywhere i'm
menseIy popular. AT every exhibit of
the San Francisco Camera club. where
fine stereopticon views are shown, a
large hall is packed to the doors. Peo-
pie will even stand on the sidewalk and
gaze at the shifting of electric letters
over a cafe. 1 remember that several
years ago. before came to Hawaii, and
when I knew little or nothing about
the country, 1 attended a stereopticon
show in a little country town in New
England During the evening a few
Hawaiian views were put on the screen.
They were poorly made and poorly
shown and the lecturer could say next
to nothing about them, but was filed
with curiosity about the Paradise of
the Pacific and Immediately set about
reading every book 1 could find on the
subject
Why could not a few slides be inter
spersed also which would set forth in
brief, crisp sentences some specific in
formation for prospective tourists? For
example, something like this:

cure for Hawaii more practical results
than all the exhibits made heretofore
put together.

himself up to the police, and both are

the Indian woman whom he slew was
the fourth victim of his axe and knife.
He induced the woman to accompany
him some distance into the woods,
and then turned upon her suddenly,
struck her over the head with an
axe and then cut her throat from ear
to ear. The motive for this crime was
robbery, the woman having 800 81
