agreed with him in this opinion There
was a large number of people in those
regions wanting a place to spend the
winter. Some three months ago he
wrote to superintendent of education
throughout the territory in question,
as a result of which he had received
lists containing upward OF 3JUO names
of live people interested in education
President Griffiths of Oahu College
had that day got the proof of a folder
on Education in Hawaii which he
had prepared. Copies of this work
would be distributed a the meeting
of the National Teachers Association
in July. Then there was DR.. Cofer's
folder on the Climate of Hawaii" All
available data would be sent to pas
senger agents throughout the country
THE Oregon girls work. when they
go back, will help u.s. the Secretary
remarked We will get an inhuex of
teachers this year and through their
advertising many more next year.
TOURISTS WILL MULTIPLY.
4 have no hesitation in saying
that where we have one tourist today
we will have three, or even five, next
year
Mr.. Wood said it was not only Wis
itors but builders that were
coming. Mr.. Swanzy had told him OF
one tourist who said he would come
back if he could get Il good house for
himself. Many others had said the
same thing. Some had engaged hotel
rooms for next season.
! Il feel confident that instead of
$1,000 a month, 100000 or $780, 200 a
month will be expended here by tour
lists next year." Mr.. Wood said, land
even greater results had we the re-
j quired means at-ou disposal
METHODS DISCUSSED.
| Mr.. Spalding spoke of methods by
! which additional money could he rails
| ed for promotion work-if it met with
| the approval of the Chamber and 49,
| Chamber desired to continue the work.
| 1t would either be an increase in the
wharf tax or an increase in private
subscriptions. The latter were now RI
diculously small, probably because
most business houses already sub
| scribed through the wharf tax.
| Some desultory talk ensued, in
| which Mr.. Wood gave figures of what
| Coast cities, as well as transportation
companies were paying for promotion.
MI Morgan then said: Il think we
| can not start too soon in giving the
Promotion Committee something they
can depend upon. from month to
month. I therefore move that COM
mittee of three be appointed by the
| chair TO make an endeayor to collect
| the amount necessary for the Promo
| ton Committee, per the estimate
given. and report if possible a the
general meeting of the Chamber next
Wednesday,"
The reporting clause was added af-
ter Mr.. Spencer had suggested defer
ring the matter to the Chambers quar-
| terIv meeting next week. Another
! suggestion he made was to pay the
| appropria tons for the militia and Sea-
mems institute, amounting to about
| $500 out Of the general fund so as to
| have that much extra for the Promo
| ton Committee. His report as treas
| uxer had shown a balance of $4175 in
| the trea sury.
| Mr.. Morgans motion carried as
| above aad the chair appointed Messrs.
Morgan, Spa1ding and CARVE as the
] soliciting committee.

MARSOEN
AVAILABLE:
Former Pubic Man of
Hawaii for Azores
N Mission,

| Joseph Marsden arrived from San
| looking his old robust and CHEEKY self
| to a charm. AS his name had been
mentioned some days ago in connec-
ton with the immigration mission to
the Azores, Mr.. Marsden was asked
by an Advertiser reporter if his visit
had to do with that subject. With
some little hesitation he answered:
| If they want me to go to the Azores
I Will accept the commission. At all
events 1 am going to see Acting Gov
ernor Atkinson in the morning.
'Oh, yes Mr.. Marsden replied to
a suggestion that he was familiar with
the labor problem here, Il presume
understand the situation pretty we'll
and could undertake the business with
out much coaching at this end"
Mr.. Marsden, besides being a retir-
ed sugar planter OF these islands, was
a member of the House of Mobiles in
the Legislature of 1890. On the over
throw of the monarchy he was one of
the commissioners hurriedIy sent to
Washington by the Provisional Gov
eminent to negotiate a treaty of an
nexation. Under the Republic of Ha-
wall he was the executive officer of
the Bureau OF Agriculture, in which
position he did effective work in the
campaign against pests and in the
introduction of useful plants and seeds.
He also went on9 labor mission to
Japan.
With all this experience relative to
the country's agricultural conditions,
it goes without saying that Mr.. Mars
denis qualifications for the Azores mis-
sion are fairly plethoric.
BY the way, it was not when Mr..
Marsden was Commissioner of Agri-
culture that he introduced the mon
goose, but many years before, when
he was a practical planter. He brought
the little animal from Jamaica, where
it had the reputation of a good rat /
exterminator, and is ready today to
enter the lists anywhere in defense of
that mission. Mr.. Marsden has al
ways contended that the mongoose
saved the sugar industry in Hawaii
and it is not recorded that he has ever
been put down on that proposition.
An evening paper says that E. r. ]
Stackable collector of customs, has
been practically selected as the man i
to go to the Azores. The same au-
thority mentions Andrew Adams, man. |
ager of Kahuku plantation, as a pos
sibility for the mission.

THE MAKEUP OF UNIONS

Inc trades-uniOns are not COM
posed of fools who undertake the
impossible. They are mainly made
up of honest, level-headed, indus
trial citizens who believe that God
meant what He implied in the die
tum that man should 'eat bread in
the sweat of his face" namely, that
when they furnish the toll that
brings the sweat the dread" must
be forthcoming, and plenty of it.
They believe that the day when a
faithful workman is to drink branch
water and run naked as the wage
Tor honest labor has passed forever.
Bread means for them what the
Almighty meant-good food, good
clothes, good homes for themselves
and dependents, reasonable comfort
for the wife, education for the child
rem, fair amount of recreation for
all and the time and facilities for
keeping themselves up to the high
standard of useful citizenship in q
great, free republic to whose pros-
perity they largely contribute and
of whose strength and glory they are
no mean part. They would wrong
no one in person or property, de-
prive no one of single right. Thew
do not seek by this means their own
pecuniary benefit at the expense Of
the rest of the community. A mere
dabbler in the science of Industrial

LION HAD THE TOOTHACHE

king Edward the famous lion
with the Sells-Floto shows, has quite
history. He is a real African lion,
and one of the few lions on exhibition
that was actually born in the jungle,
and instead of being secured while a.
cub was captured when almost full
grown after desperate battle with ma
tive hunters. There is something of
the lordly freedom of the wild beasts
in King Edwards walk and manner,
while his great size and beauty of his
head and name make him particularly
interesting to the students and artists,
and he has had enough photographs
taken of him by sight-seers to paper
the biggest house in town.
Would he hurt anybody ?" inquired
an amateur geological student, with
one foot in the air ready to run. ooh,
don't know. That depends. Maybe
Fit wouldn't be a good thing for a.
stranger to go into his cage. He
would likely resent that as an intru-
sion on his privacy" replied the
keeper. But he would never make
any row If 1 was to go to sleep in his
den. The only time I ever had any
trouble with Edward was last sea-
son on the road. One day I noticed he
had suddenly developed a cranky dis
position. He even resented nv going
into his cage, so I was at a loss what
to do so called a doctor with the
show.
"Why, he has a slight toothache;"
said the doctor after examining him.
you would naturally think the, King
would object to anybody fooline
around his Jaws but he seemed to
know the doctor was there to help him.
SO after the medicine man cleaned out
the cavity In one big tooth and
sprayed a little antisectic solution into
1t and plugged up the hole with a fist

and Kept his mouth wide open with

SHOULD WOMEN RETIRE AT FORTY

BY Anita D. Dart.
The period Of mems usefulness to the
world, has been fixed, according to
Dr. William Osler, to end at the age of
forty years, and he has inferred that
at the age Of 60 a man should be chlo-
reformed.
VIII the learned doctor please tell
us at what age q woman has ceased
to he useful and at what age she ought
to he chloroformed? don't like to see
ny sex sighted and it is only fair
that the doctor should let the world
knew more definitely his opinion re-
garding the women as well as the men.
have heard all my life the theory
expressed that a woman ages faster
than man. According to that a wom-
an should tie retired from useful life
youn ger than ~ man and should also
oe chlorotormed at a younger age.
know Of plenty Of women who
would be glad to be retired from active
life before the age of forty, ,but they
do net get the chance. The men keep
them too busy
. I am nearly 40 years old and my
family consists of men. They can not
spare me-not q single day. They are
like lost sheep without me. ..-
In my own case I will say have
led o very active and industrious life,
anu row as am nearing the age of 40,
I am healthier and stronger than l
ever-and am more able to do all
kind, Of useful work and have as much
ambition and energy as I ever had.
Then should 7 be branded as useless
and set aside simply becaues am 40 ?
know that / will be hale and hearty
at so, as my ancestors have been be-
fore me. and would hate to think !
