CLIMATE OF HAWAII
BEST IN ALL AMERIC A

II have been booster for Hawaii
for the past month now," said the
Rev. ]. w. sylvester of Central Union
church yesterday, discussing his i'm
pressions of Honolulu. Il have been
! trying various climates for the past
three years now, and from what l have
| sampled of the climate of Hawaii, If /
We're going to make a climate TO order
think l would have it just like that
of Honolulu. Perhaps degree or two
cooler at midday, but otherwise just
as you have 1t here from day to day.
Before coming here / had very
vague idea of Hawaii, though not as
vague as one Of my correspondents,
who puts five cent stamps on the let
ters he sends me from the States. /
knew Hawaii was in the Union and,
of course, had heard of the good work
done here by the missionaries, but /
was not prepared to find the great in
dustrial progress that has been made,
the industries that are flourishing and
the advances in all lines that have
been made. / think that probably
ain representative of the intelligent
and informed classes of the East, and
/ think that the average Easterner
would be as much surprised as / was
to find Hawaii advanced as it is. The
average American has no idea of what
You have here in Hawaii.
For the past three years my chief
interest has been in seeking a climate
in which l could have good health, and
l think l have found 1t here. Certainly
this is a better summer climate than
in any part of the mainland, except
possibly at some of the resorts in the
Adirondack or White mountains. As
for winter climate. which / believe
is only slightly cooler here than in the
summer, certainly no better could be
found than this.
II have been boosting Hawaii with
my mainland friends for the past
month. | sent great many copies Of
the Advertiser Jubilee number back
East as well as other Hawaiian liter
ature.
PRESS Is METROPOLITAN.
II have been greatly impressed with
the press OF Honolulu, Naturally one
would expect the newspapers In this
distant Territory to have provincial
tone, but | find them thoroughly met
ropolitan, much more 80 than In cities
the same size ON the mainland.

Under New Pure Food Law if He
Sells Bad Eggs He Can Be
Arrested. ..
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal ,..s =
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 2o.--There is
trouble ahead for the. Iowa grocer.
State Food Commissioner Wright today
gave a ruling that if eggs bought in
Iowa are bad the customer can have
his grocer arrested. This opinion is
founded on the new Iowa pure food
law. The commissioner has given much
study to the relation of the egg bust
ness to the pure food act and has de-
cided that eggs, are to be considered as
food as defined by sthaT law, and there
fore, if sold, must be pure.
That some indigna1A housewife will
be just mad enough I'd take the food
commissioner at his word is what the
retail grocers are fearing, and eggs are
being scanned more sharply by the deal
ers now than heretofore.
Food inspectors, who were put to
work Oct. l, have found many apparent
violations Of the law. 1t is possible
that prosecutions may follow soon. OF
twenty-one samples of sausages and
hamburger steak examined, eleven were
found to be adulterated with sodium
sulphate. Four samples of Goldfish were
all found to contain boracic acid. Lard
was found generally adulterated with
beef stearine. The law went into effect
July /, with some exceptions, but the
system Of inspection was not started
until Oct. l.

POST TO KEEP GREEN
NAME OF MELLETTE
Veterans Of Watertown, S. D.,
" Will Sell Holdings to Honor
- Former Governor.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
,Watertown, S. D., Oct. 2O.-Freeman
Thayer post, G. A. r., Of Watertown,
prompted BY patriotic admiration and
unselfish fraternal love, is arranging to
convert the post S property, consisting
Of lot and hall in this city, into a
monument to be erected to the memory
Of their former comrade, Arthur G.
Mellette, the first governor Of South
Dakota.
The plans are all perfected and the
design of the monument selected. All
that remains Ito. be done is to provide
the funds, and for this the old soldiers
will sacrifice their hall and fraternal
home, realizing that in few years
they will have no more need Of a COM
mon assembly room.
However. they do not desire to erect
the monument alone, but want it to
stand as a memorial from the entire
state, as well as a tribute from the
governor comrades, and the legisla-
ture will this winter be asked to assist
in building it; It will be twenty-five We
Italian marble Of Governor Mellette.
The action of the Grand Army recalls
the great sacrifice which Governor Mel
lette made to the state at the time of
the Taylor defalcation in 1895. He
had been an Industrious worker and
had accumulated small fortune, which
was practically tied up in real estate
| which he owned in nine counties. It
| was the period of drouth and panic,
but even then his property was esti.
mated to have been worth from 100000
to $4,000. g..
The governor was one of the sureties
on Taylor's bond when the latter de.
faulted in the sum Of $3.50, 000.> The
! other bolldsmen made frantic efforts to
get their property in such shape that it
could not be taken to satisfy any judg'
ment obtained by the state. Owing to
various business deals, the governor Is
property, practically in it's entirety
was decided in trust to one Griffith OF
Boston, altho the deeds had not yet
been recorded. When Taylor became
defaulter, Governor Mellette real
lied that he would be called upon to
make up portion Of the shortage
recorded and the governor could have
vised him to take this course. =
"No,' said he, IT have worked fol
South Dakota too long to take anything
that should be her 's.' -.
He followed out that plan, turned
over to Coe. I. Crawford, attorney gen
eral, all Of his property, which was ap
praised at about $4,000 without liti
cation, and assisted in securing iudg
ments against himself and other bonds
men. He gave to South Dakota al
that he had and left Watertown PENN
less to begin life anew at Pittsburg
Kan, where he died on May Is, 1896. :

LAKE STORM
REVEALS HEROES

Captain Hansen Of the steamer
Charles Street, which was lying in the
canal, and Mrs. Dan Washburn, wife
of supervisor Of Houghton county
from Hancock township, who keeps q
hotel at the canal, both dressed in
sou 'westers and oilskins, waded out
into the dangerous waters among the
pieces Of floating Wreckage and spars,
to the, rescue Of the drowning sailors.
Mrs. Washburn took her own life. in
her hands every time she went out into
the terrible waters Of the lake and
suffered as few men do in an effort to
help the poor, half-frozen seamen.
With her own hands she pulled four
men out of the waters and helped to
rescue three others, including Captain
Sullivan. She assisted the men to the
warm shelter of the lifesaving station,
where she ministered to their wants
with food and hot drinks and prepared
warm and dry clothing for them. She
dressed their wounds and did every
thing in her power to help them.
Mrs. Washburn is a pretty, sweet
little woman, with kindly face and
friendly eye. Her picture will long be
treasured in the hearts Of seven able
seamen and their captain. -.

Calumet, Mich, Oct. 20.-According
to the annual report of the mine in
spector of Houghton county, the num-
Der Of men employed in the mines at
present is the largest in the history of
the district. For the year ended Sept.
80 the average number Of men en-
ployed in the Houghton county mines
was 1896, an increase of 1,25l over
the previous year. <"
Lake Superior copper miners are in
a class by themselves, which fact has
resulted IN many mining districts be
ing recruited from this section. The
taking Of millions of dollars Of Lake
Superior capital into the mining dis
tricts Of Mexico, Arizona and Montana
has resulted in great numbers Of expe-
rienced men leaving this section to
accept responsible positions in the
newer camps. Many from this section
also have gone to the great Cerro de
Pasco mines in Peru.

Wanderings End in st. Peter.

Major Brown took the skull to his

century carried it about from post to

was always source of curiosity to
him as to the lines which the skull,
with the nest of wasps, suggested to
General Custer, but in none of his read

Several years ago Major Brown pre-
scented the skull to relative living

. Found on Battlefield.

At the mouth of. the Little. Big Horn,
where Custer rejoined the mafs.. ss.ce,
he went aboard the boat, on, which sAtu-
jor Brown was passenger, carrying
the skull. TO the latter the famous
cavalry leader stated that in passing
over one of his old backgrounds,
where few years before he had de-
feated and routed band of Sioux, he
had found the skull
At that time it contained wasps'
nest, but this has since dried and fallen
out. Custer asked Brown to keep the
skull for him until he came back, say
ing that the nest, with the wasps fy-
ing in and out, had reminded him Of
something he had read regarding "life
n death,o and that he wished to search
for the quotation on his return to Fort
Abraham Lincoln.
Death had no terrors for Custer that
bright June day, and he little thought
that he would never return to claim the
skull. The morning after he presented
it to his brother officer, he started in
search Of Sitting Bull, who was report
ed as being in camp on the Little Big
Horn. A few days later his COM
mand fell upon Sitting Bull and his al
lies, fought the unequal battle and was
annihilated.
