Ash wednesday Comes in the Second
Week of March.
The holy Lenten time will be nearly
month behind time this year. 1t
comes about this way, the first time in
many years, all on account Of the full
moon. Easter Sunday is the Sunday
following the first full moon after the
vernal equinox, which, this year, falls
on March q at 1857 a. m. The equinox
falling day later than last year just
misses, by only two hours, the full
moon of March 20, at 11:56 p. m. This
throws the Eastertide back more than
twenty days to the Sunday following
the full moon of April 10.
And thus it is that in 1905 Ash We'd
nesday, the first day of Lent, does not
come until March g. while last year it
fell on February II. And Easter Sun
day comes on April %, just twenty days
later than last year. The delay will ex-
tend the rnid-winter season of social
festivities

MAGNOLIA SPRINGS, FLORIDA.
With the passing of the holidays peo-
pie with time and money to spend com
mence to plan for a holiday in The
sOuth-some of them will spend the sea-
son-and others a week or two, and
with Jacksonville, the so-called gate to
Florida, only twenty-four hours from
New York and Chicago, a man can
spend his two weeks vacation in the
Land of Flowers with very little time
lost en- route.
For good all round time one cannot
find better place on the map to spend
a week or the season than at Magnolia
Springs, which is located twenty-eight
miles south of Jacksonville on the
banks of the st. Johns river. Magnolia
Springs is accessible either by the At
lantic Coast Line or Seaboard Air Line
railroad, or one can go down the river
by boat.
At the Springs is the Magnolia
Springs Hotel, which is personally con-

celebrated Royal Poinciana. Later he
severed his connection with Colonel

the best equipped in the state. The

no dampness, even after night-fadl.
Everything is as dry as when the sun
shines. The Spring without doubt pos

TESTERDAT'S STOCG MARKET
Trading Expands and Movements Are
Excited and Sensational.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Stock market
trading expanded again to-day and
some of the movements were excited
and sensational. But the activity was
even more congested than the recent
tendency in that direction, and the gen.
eral level of prices was not much more
benefited than yesterday. 1t might al
most be said of Reading that 5000
shares was the normal unit of the
transactions in it, so frequent was the
appearance of 5000 share lots on the
tape. The total outstanding issue of
Reading common stock amounts to
100000 shares. 1t is known that a
large part of these have been taken
out of the market. Sales for a single
day of SIC, 100 shares, which was the to-
tai reached to-day, may be safely as
sumed to represent large proportion
of matched orders and manipulative
transactions.
Probably the manifest character of
| the operations accounted for their lack
of effective influence on the general
| list. The entire lack of news to ac-
count for the movement and the high
level to which the price had already
| been lifted, considering the dividend
return, helped to beget distrust for the
movement and fears for the mainten-
| annn nf tho rnrino ba aTf
in Ontario and Western especially, and
in the other coalers to less degree,
was supposed to be sympathetic and
was equally without explanation in the
news of the day. The action of the
conservative Illinois Central directors
in declaring an extra dividend on their
stock went for to confirm the encour-
aging effect of other recent increases in
dividend disbursements, as showing the
! confidence of railroad managers in the
future prosperity of their properties.
The influence was percrptible in the
movements in Baltimore and Ohio,
Kansas and Texas preferred. Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Smelling, and perhaps
in some other stocks.
| The announcement of the settlement
of the Fall River strike was received
with qualification as serving to clear
up the situation in one of the few In
dustrial quarters which have Jagged in
the trade expansion. The absorption OF
two minor railroads which have been
within its sphere of influence by the
New York Central gave some early
strength to that stock. The whole list
gave way however with some violence

FUTURE CENTER OF COMMERCE.

It takes ages to change the CONNER
ciaI and financial center of the world.
When one is once established it shifts
tar1ily and only long after it has ceased
to be the most convenient place for
the greatest EIinsber OF people. There
have been, hut {, comparatively few
such centers in the history of COM
MERGE. For centuries their location
vas on the Mediterranean sea or it's
tributaries. Carthage, Rome, Constan-
tinople, Vienna, followed one another
at long intervals. With the growth of
the AnGlo-Saxon and the Germanic
races and the development of ocean
traffic the location shifted to Northern
Europe. Then comes Bruges, Antwerp,
Amsterdam and finally London, where
it still remains. But the signs of the
times now point to another change.

chine which would make the blocks
Beardslee, the government architect on
this job, to inform him where ma
called for by the specifications could
be obtained. To his amazement Mr..
Beardslee replied that such machine
did not exist; but that Mr.. L. e. Pink
ham, President of the Board Of Health,
had invented one, which would do the
work. Asked further as to how, when
and on what terms the Pinkham ma
chine could be obtained, Mr.. Beardslee
further stated that it yet existed only
in Mr.. Pinkham's mind; but that he
could make it.
During the course of the CONVERSE
ton Mr.. Beardslee stated that the
Pinkham machine had been evolved
especially in connection with the con-
struction of the Insane Asylum; that
/ the machine was to have been con-
trolled by the Concrete Construction
Company, of which Mr.. Pinkham was
formerly president; that the specifica-
lions were so drawn as to shut out a
brick building, secure a concrete
building and shut out all concrete
blocks except those which could be
made by the Pinkham machine.
BEARDSLEE $4,000 PROPOSITION.
After much discussion Mr.. Beardslee
offered to personally undertake to fur
nish to this company a Pinkham ma
chine to be furnished in seven months,
for the sum of $4,000, the machine to
belong to Mr.. Beardslee and his as
signs after the job was completed.
The objection was made that the
contract called for completion in thir-
teen months and If seven were con-
sumed In securing a machine there
would not be time to finish in the re-
| naming six months.
Mr. Beardslee replied that he thought
seven months, but that he must ask
for seven, as someNxperimenting must
be done; also that If the building was
not done on time there would he no
difficulty in getting an extension, If
| 1t were made known that Pinkham
| caused the delay.
To the objection that If the con-
tractor paid for the machine it should
! belong to the contractor, Mr.. Boards
lee replied that the machine would be
| furnished on no other terms.
Mr.. Beardslee finally reduced his
| proposition to writing and delivered 1t
to Mr.. Amweg. He stated, however,
that he did not want 1t to appear as
coming from him and he therefore
drew it in. the form of letter to be
written by this company to him, as
surfing Mr.. Amweg that Immediately
upon its receipt. the proposition would
be accepted by him and he would per-

Honolulu. Jan. 10, 1905.
George r. Carter, Governor Territory
of Hawaii.
Sir: The American Hawaiian En-
cheering & Construction Company,
Limited, has delayed making a final
statement of its position concerning
the Insane Asylum contract, until it
could receive the latest information
from it's manager +. ]. Amweg, now
in san Francisco, and obtain advice of
counsel Such information and advice
being at hand, / now state to you the
conclusions which this company has
come to, first summarizing the facts
necessary to an understanding of the
conclusions reached.
This company, in good faith, bid on
the contract to build an Insane Asy-
lum, offering to erect building of
brick for $56,575. or of concrete blocks
for $40, 391
It's bid for concrete construction was
accepted by the Superintendent Of
Public Works, upon condition that the
concrete blocks be made in Honolulu,
which condition the company accepted.
The only other bid filed was that Of
the Concrete Construction Company to
build a concrete building for s62,525.
THE JOKER IN THE CONTRACT.
Mr.. Amweg was absent when the
contract was awarded. Upon his re-
turn. the fact that but one other con-
tractor had filed bid, and that it was
more than $4,000 higher than that Of
this company excited his suspicious
that there was Joker" in the con-
tract.
Upon further study of the specifica-
lions and consultation with the Public
Works officers he for the first time be-
came aware that the government so con-
strued the contract that the contrac-
tor would be required to use hydraulic
pressure in constructing the concrete
blocks as we'll as, and in addition to,
the usual hand tamping process.
This was an entire surprise to the
contractor for the following reasons:
(a) Concrete is n standard building
material and the method of construc-
ton is equally well known, viz: by
hand tamping in mould.
OBJ There are no pressure machines
which will make the kind of block call
ed Tor In the SpeclncallonS, nor any
pressure machines of any. kind, ex-
cept for permanent factory purposes,
for making hollow blocks in sections,
for sale on a large scale.
(c) The plan of the blocks, forming
a part of the specifications. shows the
regulation form of block made in
standard hand tamping machines, and
never made by pressure machines.
(d) There was nothing I'm the
specifications to indicate that the pres
sure called for was to be produced
ALPHABETICALLY. and the contractor being
misled thereby and by the facts
above set forth, had not taken the
providing of high priced hydraulic
machinery into consideration in max
ing it's bid.

Notwithstanding this unexpected
development. Mr. Amweg desiring TO
carry out the contract, requested Mr..

First. That under the facts and cir

for which 1t is in no wise responsible,
and under the legal advice of responsible
counsel, 1t cannot be forced to proceed.
nor can it proceed II it so wishes. with
the literal execution of the contract,
which requires an impossibility.
Second. That II cannot proceed un-
