The task is considered one of great diff

Women Gain In China.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 8. Woman,
downtrodden for thousands of years, is
asserting herself in China The dowager
empress is lifting up other women
whom she has learned to trust.
Mrs. Yu-King, wife of the former
Chinese minister to France, and their
two daughters have received the dow
ager empress highest favor. Her ma
jesty has just given another proof of
her confidence in the accomplished
daughters, who were educated in France
and who teach French and English to
the. ladies of the court. At the same
time the empress has highly affronted
the waiwoupu, the bureau of foreign af-
fairs, whose members, however, sill
smile, having due regard for their posi-
tons and their heads
The waiwoupu has charge of translat-
ing for the empress State kilograms from
foreign countries. But the Misses Yu-
King, TO whom such TRANSACTIONS were
submitted, found that many did not con-
vey the meaning of the originals and
others bore double meaning, of which
one always sustained the waiwoupus
views of the affair in hand.
Now by the empress command the
originals of all cablegrams go direct to
the Misses Yu-King. and they trans
late them for the real ruler of China.

Pulpit Rspg Book Fad.

LONDON, Sept 3-The growing
fashion among smart women of carry
ing at church parade prayer books in
bindings TO match their dresses has ter
rlbly shocked Archbishop Diggie of
birmingham, who has been denouncing
society women from the pulpit for their
frivolity and irreligion
But the archiepiscopal dismay is not
shared in Paternoster Row, which is the
home of the prayer book and Bible ware
houses. On inquiry there as to the Gus
tom, it was ascertained that no less a
person than the Anglican bishop had or
dered for his daughter a cream bound
prayer books with silver clasps and
monogram in silver.
1t was white prayer book which was
first introduced. primarily for the use Of
brides and bridesmaids. The custom, it
may be said. was borrowed not very
long ago from America That rapidly
developed into the colored prayer book
a West End dressmaker who was
consulted on the subject said it was
custom which had found great favor in
smart. society, IS increasing very rapidly,
and had come to stay. archbishops and
archdeacons notwithstanding.

are all the time expiring and this
paper contends. with the assent OF
every practical farmer in the Territory,
that something better can be done

it again for raising lantana or range

Complain of American action.

LONDON, Sept. 3-Liverpool COM
plains bitterly that Uncle Sam has taken
sides with Manchester IN the curious
struggle for shipping between the two
cities. Under a recent change in the
American consular district, the whole of
the ship canal is given to Manchester,
and Liverpool loses.
This means that the amount of Liver
pool shipping in next years statistics
will show a considerable falling off,
though it, of course, does not affect the
actual commerce of that port
Whenever and however this most
sinister attempt to fitch business away
from Liverpool has originated, does not
particularly concern u.s." says the Liver
pool Post. I'll is sufficient to know that
the attempt has been made and for a
short time apparently has succeeded.
But it is hardly conceivable that Ameri-
can interests which are now threatened
will be content to accept a regulation
which obnoxiouslv threatens their we'll
being to an extent which may not appear
on the surface, but which is latent"
Liverpool fondly hopes the shipping
trust will become its ally against grow
ing and greedy Manchester.

Former Hawaiian Iurlsa.

The present difficulty in securing
juries for the three circuit courts is
nothing to what the judges had to con-
tend with fifteen Or twenty years ago,
when ehgibles were so scarce that tour
lists on the streets had to be run in
Inc law requiring service was much
more elastic than at present" said a
member of the Hawaiian bar the other
day. Il remembered, upon one occa-
sion, an arrival from the coast had
hardly been in the country a month
when he was summoned to appear as a
juror in Judge Bickerton's court. He
at once hurried with his summons to
the Judges office, and endeavored to
excuse himself on the ground of Amer
lean citizenship. I'm an American citi-
zen, said he. That makes no differ
ence,' said his honor. But continued
the American, I haven't paid taxes

AUTOS IN HONOLULU.

Il Automobiles are being run in this city
4 nj a speed equal to and sometimes il
excess of that of the trolley cars. A
horseman who would travel at two
thirds the gait Of an auto that was
seen on the streets yesterday might
expect to be arrested for furious and
needless driving The absence of regV-
1ations for stearn9a and gasoline carriages
or the acknowledgements of regulations,
whichever it may be. is encouraging the
chaffeurs to 'let loose" and unless more
care is taken there is likely to be a
serious accident. The conjunction OF a
hack coming in from a side street at
fair speed and meeting a trolley and
an auto at right angles on the main
street, might cause loss of life. There
has been one narrow escape of that
kind already.
This paper confesses that it is not
much in favor of the use of high-pow-
cred automobiles in streets which are
as narrow as those of Honolulu. IN
fact, the promiscuous use of automo-
biles on city streets anywhere is not
reconcilable with the spirit of the laws
framed to protect the public from other
motor vehicles. Cities are careful, ex-
cept in special cases, to keep locomo-
fives off the thoroughfares. Such en-
pines ere compelled to use highways OF
their own. Trolley cars are kept on
tracks which carriages have small oc- !
casion TO invade. Nobody would think
of letting a trolley car. if the feat were
possible, go criss-crossing
along city avenues, lodging, or trying |
TO dodge ordinary vehicles and squirting
whenever the way seemed clear. Such |
a proposition would be vetoed offhand,
vet automobiles are permitted to do just
that thing. We have seen touring
ear pass a mounted policeman anu !

The rate of twenty miles an hour and
The outrage-for it was nothing less
was taken as matter of. course AT
me O'Clock the other morning the ponce-
man on duty near the Progress block
heard a. roar and looked around just In
lime to see an auto disappear. Had
anybody driven a horse by at an ap-
proximation of such speed the police
man would have got into action at
once.
What it all comes to is that we have
the same problem to deal with that has
disturbed the mainland cities and must
solve it in the same way.

show the home production in these two
great classes.
The cepsns tables show rapid move
ment OF population from the. gricul-
tural sections toward the manufactur-
ing centers, and as a result a smaller
proportion of the total population is
engaged in the production of food, while
a larger proportion is producing manu-
features instead of food supplies, thus
diminishing the surplus available for
expectation.

PROBLEMS OF SMALL FARMING.

The Stars objections to the small
farm movement are that there is no
local market worth cultivating for is
land vegetables and fruits; that tropical
products, saIable on the coast, can only
be shipped on American steamers and
there are not enough of these to assure
prompt service and low mates; that
there is no promise that a farmer could
find good, productive land upon which
to grow his wares; that a market and
transportation to it should precede the
cultivation of Hawaiian crops.
In reply we would say:
I The small farm proposition does
not include market gardening except
for the sustenance of the farmer while
export crops are growing. We contend
that he can always feed himself and
have surplus poultry, eggs, pork dairy
products and fruits to sell, That is as
good an outlook as the majority of
American farmers have.
II. Steamers cannot be expected to
tie up here and stay to encourage the
growing of export crops. They will
wait until there is business for them.
Where there is much freight accumu-
lating the carrying agents always come
for il. That is their trade. The Ameri-
can pioneers in their progress West
raised crops and waited for the railroad.
Eastern Kansas was farming region
fifteen years before a railroad came;
and it did not have much of a local
market in the meantime. California,
with one man to the square mile, grew
things and waited nearly twenty years
after 1S49 for the cars to come and
when the promise of business grew
bright enough the freight trains arrived.
Everywhere in the United States PRO-
DUCTIoN HAS PRECEDED MAR
KETS AND CARRYING AGENTS.
When the sugar industry began in Ha-
wall there was small market and
meagre transportation-one steamer a
month and few sailing vessels. But
commerce expanded to meet the de-
mands upon it and the market widened.
1t always has been so and always will
be so.

and source OF annoyance, not only
to the one who has it, but everybody
else. The thick, yellow discharge
from the head produces feeling of
personal dehlement, and the odor of
the breath is almost intolerable.
The catarrhal poison brings on
stomach troubles and affects the Kid

soft bones and tissues of the head
and throat. causing total or partial
deafness, the loss of smell, and Civ

you sick all over, for it is a dis
ease of the blood, and circulates all
through the system, and for this
reason, sprays, washes, inhalers,

failures.
The way to cure Catarrh thor
