friend and the execntrix Of Lady Iyt.
ton, had been confided a packet Of 2aS
letters, representing the correspond
epce OF Bulwer I.ytton with Miss
Wheeler In the days of their early
courtship. Miss Dewey published these
with a preface, stating that she took
this action In order to vindicate the
memory Of her dead friend. In what
manner the letters could be regarded
as a vindication it II difficult to see,
though they serve as a remarkable con-
tribution to the literature Of enistolary
lovemaking, The extravagant absurdi-
ty OF some of them Is almost beyond
belief, and two passages may be quot
ed as illustrative of many others In
the letters Bulwer Lytton addresses
Miss Wheeler as Poodle" and signs
himself Puppy" or ''Puppo."

japanese Conditions in Ha-

Reported.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, Dec. ga report on
japanese conditions in the Hawaiian
islands will be made to President
Roosevelt by Frank P. Sergeant, COM
missioner of immigration and natural
ization, as aresult of his recent visit
to the islands.
Commissioner Sergeant today ex-
pressed the opinion that there are few
er Japanese in the Hawaiian islands
now than there were two years ago,
a greater number having come to Am
erica in that period than arrived in
Hawaii. Mkt Saite, the Japanese
consul general at Honolulu, intimated
to Mr.. Sergeant that the Japanese gov
eminent discouraged its people from
coming to the United States because
of its knowledge of the conditions ex-
listing in this country, especially on
the Pacific coast, and it was appre-
hensive lest the coming here of great
numbers of Japanese might induce a
prejudice against them that would be
embarrassing.
The Commissioner Of immigration
found that the owners of sugar, pine
apples and other plantations in the
islands are in serious need of labor
and many Japanese are coming to thu
islands to work on them. He says
that 1t is the effort of the Hawaiian

At the centenary celebration early
in December of Mrs. E. P. Osler,
mother of DR.. Osler, famed for his
chloroform theory, the chief feature of
the decorations was historical birth
day oaks. The Toronto Globe describes
it thus:
THE birthday cake, which had been
on view in the window of the Harry
Webb company, Yonge street, for sew
eral days, and was the admiration of
all who saw it, was in five layers adj
orned with five score red and white
candles, red icing traceries on the
white ice ground and bearing symbols
of some of the chief inventions of the
century. On the top story of the cake
is: "E. P. Osler, December IA, 1906,
George Ill, Rex" Each of the other
layers respectively bears the dates of
the accession of the other four Sow
ereigns in whose reign Mrs. Osler
has lived:-"1S2O, George w.. Rex;
1880, William w., Rex; 1887. Vic
toria, Regina; 1901, Edward VII,
Rex" The progress of the race in
the eras in question is typified by de-
signs of an old-fashioned coach in the
first reign, and thereafter by develop
ments from crude conditions to the
era of the gasoline launch, the modern
man of war. the bicycle and automo-
bile.
Dainty and valuable souvenirs of
the happy occasion were given by Mrs.
Osler to each of her children, grand
children and great-grandchilden
These were centennial silver spoons
in three sizes, with design by Mrs.
Gwyn of Dundas of the Cornish Cross
on the handle of each, and engraved
with the Cornish county motto: "One

the handle was lettered the date of
Mrs Osler's birth. December IA, 1906,
