The Employment Rook.

The undertaking began last Janu-
AIRY to help to find work for those de-
string to be employed has been an en-
terprise rewarded with good results
and most satisfactory to those who
have made the experiment. To E. A.
Carroll should be given most of the
credit since his store was offered for
the headquarters of the book, and he
and his assistant have given the sub
jeet considerable time and interest
without any compensation. Between
January and November, 1905, 200 per-
sons we're registered, their references
looked up, and eighty employers at
least have obtained the services of
working people thro' the book. AS
Mr.. Carrell unfortunately is not al
ways notified Of every position that is
filed by the help it is impossible TO
give an exact account of the work
done.
Anyone except the regular female
house servant by the month who can
go to an intelligence office can register
in the book, and the various employ
ments represented there cover many
occupations for men and women.
Among them are men as janitors and
watchmen, for store, gardeners, stable
men, driving, furnace. farmers. Wom-
en- for teaching, music, English,
French and German, and drawing, for
massage, manicuring,
chiropody, writing, sewing and nurs-
ing invalids. Laundry women out or
at hom e., houseworkers including
cooks, mattresses and cleaners by the
day, and errand boys.

MRS. CRAIGIE HERE.

= John oliver Hobbes'' Arrives for a
Lecture Tour in This Country.
An interesting figure among the in
coming passengers on the Cunard liner
Campania Saturday was Mrs. Craigie
John Oliver Hobbes) The author,
who was accompanied by her father,
John w Richards, comes for lecture
tour, which is to include art, litera-
Iture, and biography. Her first lecture
will be delivered on November II at
Morristown, N. j., her fathers home.
In addition to her lectures she will
give few talks to working girls"
After ten days spent in and about
New York she will go to Washington
to visit Mrs. Letter.
Mrs. Craigie's last visit to the Unit
ed States was ten years ago. In the
interim she has observed many changes
in American literature.
:. / have noted especially, she said,
=" a revolt from the romantic school a
school of which / regard Henry James
and William Dean Howells what |
may call the Intentionally unreal.
The later-day American writers, too,
exhibit a tendency toward the slip
shod in their work "a sacrifice of style
in the effort to realize the general i'm :
preston sought to be created.
I'm pleasant contrast to this is the
English verdict on Edith Wharton.
Her House of Mirth' has aroused uni
yersal admiration especially because
Of its polished style, which came in
the nature of literary surprise"
Concerning her own latest book,
e The Flute OF Pan," she remarked
that it is the story OF an English
officer,
If it we're the story of an Ameri-
can Officer she added, with a mis-
,chievous smile, of course it would
be more interesting and enliyening. "
Mrs. Craigie, like nearly every
other person of prominence in this
world, has Morristown connec-
tion. Her father is John Morgan
Richards, whose father was Rev
James Richards, at one time pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church. His
father also named James Richards was
also pastor Of that church. She will
be entertained while here by Mr.. and

GETTING TOE ARCHIVES
IN SHAPE TO move

Work on the new Archives Building,
in the capitol grounds, is progressing
very satisfactorily, and Custodian Ly-
decker is already beginning to index the
contents of his countless camphor
chests of old papers preparatory to
moving. BY the time the new building
is finished, the papers will be in such
shape that the Custodian can empty
the chests and arrange matters in form
for easy reference.
OF course the papers have not nearly
all been examined yet but Mr.. Lyde cker
has line on the work. And he will
get 1t in better shape every day. When
he gets through with the first struggle,
the various state papers will all be
classified, by departments as we'll as
by subjects, so that students and 9TH
ers wanting to consult them will find
them in the most convenient form
and all papers on related topics close
together.
William Savidge, Clerk of the Ter
ritorial Senate, yesterday turned over
to Mr.. Lydecker the archives of the
late session of the Senate. In old days,
before the Archives Commission was in
existence, these papers would probably
have been put into a camphor trunk
somewhere, and laid away-and for
gotten.

B. L. Marx, attorney for the execu-
tor, excepted to the ruling of the court
that inheritance taxes were due on the
legacies. He claimed that the testatrix
having died before the enactment of
the law of 1905 relative to the inheri-
lance tax, the law could not be made
retroactive by collecting the taxes in
this case.
Judge De Bolt stated that a confer
ence of the judges had concluded that
the tax was leviable on all inheritances
not distributed prior to the passage of
the act. Yet, at the same time, it
had been agreed that the ruling was
not to be binding on any individual
judge if the principle were contested
before him. Therefore he appointed a
hearing of argument on the point in
this case for Wednesday morning. This
will probably serve as test case to
govern>the settlement of any other es-
tates that may be in the same position.

Il regard this sale of our refunding
bonds TO Mr. Irwin as the browning
glory of the Carter administration, :"
said Acting Governor Atkinson last
night. Mr.. Atkinson, by the way, is
himself entitled to very much more
credit in connection with the sale of the
bonds to local capitalist than he is
inclined to take to himself. And ii is
the sale of the bonds to local capitalist
that is of passing Importance in con-
nection with the matter. That breaks
the hold of New York financiers. There
is no longer the possibility of monop-
oily in Hawaiian securities

went on Acting Governor Atkinson,
land the result is that our credit stands
so high that there is no lack of money
to take up our securities when they are
offered And they are taken up on the
most favorable terms. As have said,
this is a triumphant demonstration that
the system and the methods of Cover
nor Carter are the best for the terri
tory,
The debt of Hawaii is not large,
now. 1t is, approximately, $3.50, 900.

coming year it will foot up about ST.

well within our income, and that Is
what Governor Carter has striven to
bring about. Every cent of the money
that, we have borrowed will pay for
itself.
THE next point will be the establish
ment of a sinking fund to meet our
bonded indebtedness. We must do that,
and financiers must know that we have
done 1t. Our credit is first class, and
it is good hard business sense to keep
it first class.
