Looking for Goat Skins.

Youths Companion.
It is reported that the present de-
mand for goat-kld skins in England ex-
ceeds anything of the kind before
known, and that the 1emotest places
in Europe, India, South America ana
elsewhere, wherevef goats are kept, are
now visited by itinersnt collectors to
obtain them. This demand arises
from the recent discovery OF new
methods Of treating the skins, which
not only make them preferable to cali
kid as hoe-leather, but also render
them suitable Tor uses In dress trim
ming. When specially dyed and I'm
ished, they find great favor with dress
makers, and are used for vests,
strappings, reyers, pipings, blouses, and
even for underskirts for country wear

Too Late.

Beryl Clark.
We folded tenderly those quiet hands
When mother died.
We softly emoothed the sllken,
sllvery bands
on either side.
And as 80 often she her viglIs kept
We now sat watching while our hiother
sler.
That eventide.
We rained caresses on that placid brow
When mother died;
We kissed the lips that never until now
Our own denied.
We talked Of patience and of all her
care,
And grew regretful as our OWE small
share
Shrank down beside.
We idly mourned, "Were she but back
egain
By our hearthside,
To make her happy and to soothe her
pain
Would be our pride.
We'd cherish her-Ah. it ia ever so,
How gleam our jewel as we watch
them go
Adown the tide"
Why speak we not to longing, listening
So close beside,
The love that brokenly, above their
biers
We all have cried?
Why to so many must that cry of fate
Come drifting earthward, "Late, alas,
too late!
Thou art denied"
Go clasp your mother in your strong
young arms,
Dear boy-her pride;
Cast from your life each folly that
alarms
That truest guide.
Her pray ers, her love, her faith in you
shall be
A boon more sweet, richer legacy
Than aught beside

THE WRECKS AT PORT ARTHUR
Few of the Russian Ships to Be OF
Value to the Japanese.

LONDON, March 1S.-The CORE
spondent of the Times at Port Arthur
sends detailed description of the
condition of the Russian warships sunk
in the harbor. He says that so far. as
has yet been ascertained all of them
suffered enormous injury, both at the
hands of the japanese and the Rus
slams themselves when orders were
given to scuttle the vessels.
In describing the warships as they
lie sunk at all angles in the harbor, the
correspondent says:
"They hardly resemble real ships,
so twisted and burned are the tunnels
and superstructure. ~
After a detailed description of each
vessel the correspondent reaches the
conclusion that the japanese will be
lucky if they can save the Poltava,
Peresviet and perhaps the Bayan and
Retvizan. The Pobieda will meyer be
of any further use, as she is damaged
so seriously that even. if the Japanese
succeeded in raising her it is extreme
ly doubtful if they could make her
of any service. The Sevastopol is sunk
in 80 feet of water. Her exact posi-
ton is known only to the Captain and
a small number of the crew.

GOOD ROADS AND PROGRESS

1t will mark a step backward for
the Territory if the bill now pending
to permit the use of vehicles with
narrower tires should be passed by the
LEGISLATURE The best thought of the
age is in favor of good roads-and GOOD
roads are made better by being travel
ed by vehicles with wide tires. This
fact is well understood by the experts
at the head of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, who have en-
ga ed actively in the promotion OF the
movement in favor of wide tire legis-
lation on the mainland.
The movement, in fact, is wider than
the United States. On the continent
OF Europe in Great Britain, in all
lands where public utilities are up to
date. this movement for good roads has
made itself felt It is understood that
the people of the country districts are
the most interested in keeping up the
roads. and although the owners of
motor vehicles from abroad may start
the agitation in their own interest IN
some localities, even the most con-
servative farmers quickly see that the
better the roads the more accessible
their own places and the easier the
haul of their produce to market.
Regions that seek tourist travel are
especially quick to recognize the adj
vantages following Improvement of the
highways, and in this category the
Territory of Hawaii is now beginning
to take it's place. The wide tire law
at present on the statute books has
worked well-and worked no hardship.
The demand for its amendment in the
interest of few mossbacks who have
not complied with its provisions does
not come from the great mass of the
people, nor from any very consider
able number of them. The amendment
of the law at this time would be a step
backward. This is not the time for
way.
1t is an era of progress along the
best lines, and if the Territory is to
be Americanized it must go forward
with the balance of the country. If
the legislature is so far led astray as
to pass the law now pending, Governor
Carter will perform a high public duty
by vetoing the measure.

TT HITS THE MARK.

The minority report of the Iwilei
committee is the one which meets the
,-aouirements of the Legislature, which
tolls the truth and advocates the
closing of the stockade and the "F1del-
itv Insurance Company's" joint
Senators McCandless and Lane have
done their work with intelligence and
fearlessness and have formulated a
definite policy. 1t cannot be said OF
tbern as of some others who have dis
cussed Iwilei that they have no. con-
crete policy to offer to justify change
from the present one.
Their policy is clear enough IL CANS
for the instant removal of government
protection from an unlawful resort
the shutting down of the official ex-
animation: the closing of the open
door to a shameless display of vice;
the use of the police to watch, not to
protect houses of ill-fame.
After reading the SNUG generalit1es
of the majority report, the genuine
quality of the McCandless-Lane report
stands out in bold relief.

A CHEAP TRICK.

The would-be oil monopolists who are
trying to get the legislature to shut
out one third of the oil of California
from consumption in Hawaii, by rails
ing the flash test to 1902, must be get
ting desperate when they resort to such
cheap and disreputab1e tactics as APP
peared in the House yesterday.
The highest flash test required any
where in the States is 10 degrees.
The Standard and Pacific Oil Com
panies tried to make use of the local
fire underwriters to have the test in
Hawaii placed at $50 degrees. The I'M
derwriters refused to recommend $50,
but out of an abundance of caution,
recommended 120 degrees, and caused
a bill to be drawn embodying such
recommends ton. This bill was inform
ally considered by committee last
week and then sent to the printer
When it came back and was distributed
yesterday, it was discovered that the
12O degree flash test had been changed
to $50 degrees, in the section referring
to fuel oil. An examination of the
original showed that it called for 40
degrees; but this had been crossed out
and $50 degrees written in above.
Whoever did it forgot to cross out
the figures in another section, which
still reads 12O degrees.
The apparent intent was to make it
appear that the underwriters had
recommended $50 degrees, and throw
upon the supporters of a lower flash
test the burden of getting it changed.
The cheap trick did it's promoters no
good, but caused much adverse COM
ment among members of the House.

THOSE IRISH JAP GENERALS.
O'Yama and O'Keough Their Real
Names-How It All Happened

LOGANSPORT, Mar. lS.-New light
upon the Japanese history was cast at
the st. Patrick s banquet of the An
cient Order of Hibernians in this CITY.
o. P. Smith, State labor organizer.
aroused the enthusiasm of his hearers
to high pitch by declaring that the
japanese Generals, Oyama and Oku,
were descendants of Irishmen and still
bore the original Irish names of the
families, slightly modified.
"Oyama is of Irish ancestry" said
Smith, "'and his name as originally
borne by his forebears was O'Yama.
The original O'Yama, whose given
name was Patrick, left ireland during
the Elizabethan era for France, but
was shipwrecked in the Bay of Biscay,
and rescued by a Spanish ship bound
for the Philippines. He was taken
went to Japan and turned naturally to
the career of fighting men. Intermar-
riage with the natives gave them stand
ing and position close to the Mikado,
which was advanced by their activity
in military affairs.
"Gen. Oku s name originally was
O'Keough, who though a military gen
ius, was a poor hand at spelling. The
rigors of the japanese alphabet proved
too great for him, and by Imperiaf
edict he was given permission to cut
out few letters. Thus the family name
became Oku and the sons and grand
sons after many generations followed
the fighting trade

THE ARTfUL DODGERS.

AS showing the evasive quality of
the majority report of. the Iwilei COM
mfttee. observe this paragraph:
We find that that particular portion
of Iwilei where the prostitutes are now
located is owned by the Fidelity In
surance Company Limited, and is now
leased to a Japanese named Ogata by
nisrepresenting the object for which
he wished to obtain this lease from
the Waterhouse Trust Company, the
agents of the Fidelity Insurance Com
pany, Limited.
Could that story about a misrepre-
have been written with a straight face?
Considering what those forty-odd little
rooms were built for, who built them,
their locality and the failure of their
owners to enforce the law against
Ogata under the terms of their own
lease and of the Territorial statute
does anyone suppose that the "Fidel-
ity Insurance Co." was deceived? If
1t was deceived why didn't it take adj
vantage of the remedy that its lease
and the law provides? Evidently the
deception" hasn't hurt it enough to
induce it to forego the eighteen per
cent the Infamous investment brings
! Finally If anybody was deceived
when the lease was made, the deceit
has long since given place to exact
| knowledge Everything is done so
! openly on the Fidelity preserve that
nobody who has seen the place has
; any reason to doubt its character.
