It is said that people living in the
tropics are indolent and lazy. Homo
lulu is unusual in this respect, for it
is beautifully kept. In driving about
the city, it seemed that I was driving
about in Shaw's garden, in st. Louis.
or in some other famous garden or
show place maintained at great ex-
pense by the public At one
place, we passed a great rice field,
and saw men working with water buff
falo. The rice fields seem to be be-
low the level of the surrounding
country. and a great deal of water is
required. In the rice fields, we saw
the work of harvesting in progress,
while just across the way, workmen
were engaged in planting seed. This
is the rule here; harvesting and
planting continues all the year round;
the markets are supplied with yege-
tables, fruits and flowers every day in
the year; there is no winter
We took a ride into the mountains,
place could see the ocean in two direc-
tiOns: east and west. The mountains
reminded me of Switzerland: we saw
one waterfall on the mountain side
that would have attracted attention in
Switzerland. The mountains are of
volcanic origin, and very steep but
wooded to the top. These trees are
protected, to conserve the water sup
ply: it has been remarked here that
trees aid in retaining moisture. The
roads are built of crushed lava rock,
and are almost perfect. We saw
travelling rock crusher being used
by road builders, which seemed an eX-
ce1lent idea. By-the-way, the Hawai-
ian islands produce no building ma
terial except this lava rock: all lum-
Der cement, brick. etc, used in the
islands. are imported. There is
considerable rain fall in the noun
tains. and Honolulu has a fine water
supply, obtained by means of reser-
voirs. Water is abundant on the 9TH
er islands, also, and used for irrigat
ing, which is necessary in raising
crops, except in a few favored local
tiles a very small depression in the
mountains will produce roaring
stream. many of which We saw dur
ing our drive. Water power is con-
sequently very cheap, and it is more
extensively used every year.

The arrival of a ship at Honolulu
is as much an event as the arrival
of steamboat at a sleepy country
town on the Mississippi river Until
the cable was completed three years
ago, the people of Honolulu received
all their news of the outside world by
ships. SO the custom originated of
ringing the bells and blowing the
whistles When a ship was sighted, and
the people assembled at the dock to
get the papers and hear the news.
This custom still continues. Away out
on Diamond Head there is a resort
kept by noted character who has tel
ephone connection with the city. When
ship appears, he telephones the power
mouse OF the street railway company,
and Immediately the curfew whistle is
blown, as done in Atchison when there
is fire Then the fruit peddlers, and
the hack drivers, and the flower sell
ers, and others interested, begin to col
lect at the dock, and we found big
crowd there when we landed this
morning.

Honolulu is the first tropical town
nave ever visited, and the wonderful
vegetation impressed me. At home
trees grow five months in the year;
mere they grow all the time. Dozens
of trees, flowers, vines, etc. were en-
trely new to me. At home we point
out fields where big successes have
been made with wheat and corn; at
Honolulu Mr.. Emmeluth pointed out
a cocoanut grove of eight acres, and
SAID that when the owner planted it
people laughed at him, but now the
owner has an income of $500 a yeat
from his venture. At many places We
saw fields of bananas. AT home we
are told that the bananas We buy are
picked green, and that they are neither
so good nor so wholesome as when
picked ripe. I picked a ripe banana
today in Mr.. Emmeluth's yard. and 1t
did not taste any better than the ba-
nanas l buy in AtchisOn, much to my
surprise. 1 also picked oranges. and
found them rather less palatable than
the oranges I buy at home. 8 + The
thing that impressed me most at Ho-
nolulu was a hedge with bright red
flower. These flowers appear on the
hedges all the time: the hedges look
about the same every day in the year,

VACATION VISIT TO HAWAII.


Flowers are very cheap and abundant
in Honolulu, and the wreaths do not
cost much. I think the custom is Pc
culiar to these islands.

When we left Honolulu considerable
number of people gathered to see us

around their necks, purchased OF
women and children at the entrance to
the dock AS the ship began moving
out 10 sea. the passengers threw these
floral wreaths to friends on the dock
When the passengers began
landing this morning I saw another
pretty sight: When a Honolulu pas
senger went down the gang plank, he
was received by friends, and after
greetings were exchanged, one of the
floral wreaths was thrown over his
head and around his neck; then he
was taken away by his happy friends.

A TEN DAYS MARK.
L. L. Whitman says an Auto Can
Cross Continent in That Time.
sultation

Chicago, Aug. 24.=That it is pos
sible to drive an automobile from
coast to coast in ten days is the strong
| belief of the present holder Of the
San Francisco-NeW York mark, L. L.
Whitman, and if the Buick expedition,
now en- route west, succeeds in beat
ing the 5 days hours nOtched by
the Franklinites recently, the man
Who has already transcontinental-
| lied" the continent three times will
send the big Franklin runabout out
IN an effort to get inside ten days
That's the dope" handed out by
Whitman, according to one man on
the local automobile row, just back
from New York.
Whitman may have a chance to
prove his statements, for the reports
last night had the war correspon-
dents, Hagerty and Little at Central
City, Neb., with enough made up on
their schedule to make them predict
It IS more than possible the Buick will
slide Into San Francisco at least a day
better than the present mark. Their
tire troubles seem to have ceased
since leaving Chicago and If they can
keep away from the puncture demon
they are confident the Buick will do
the rest.
While all this is going on whitman
is in New York figuring on his next
campaign. He has It in the little book
lhat on his recent trip he lost four
Gays IN crossing Wyoming and that
besides this there were sixty hours of
enforced idleness. The running time
Of the car in reality was ten days,
cutting out the stops. So Whitman
believes he could do it again and by
keeping moving continually he can
get the record down to the predicted
notch.
Interesting statistics are furnished
by Whitman of his recent trip He
shows that his car averaged fifteen
miles an hour for the journey or 800
miles a day. The six-cylinder car
consumed less than 275 gallons of
gasoline on the trip, so he got fifteen
miles to the gallon out OF it. Those
who have been sympathizing with
Dick Little and Chris Hagerty over
their hard luck in running into so
much tire trouble will be astonished
TO know that whitman claims he went
through with only two punctures-
those out near Cheyenne=and that he
changed tires only once-at Chicago,
then only to play safe. His engine
troubles, he asserts, were confined to
dirty spark plugs. Whitman claims
his best bit of work was done be-
tv cen Buffalo and New York, which
distance-some 500 miles=was made
inside day. the book showing TWEEN
ty-three hours for the drive.

st. Louis. Aug. 24=Entries for the
ten mile swim. to be held in the Mis-

spices of the NJ. A. G.. closed yester-
day. Twenty-Five sturdy athletes are
expected to splash in the Father Of
Waters at 100 O'Clock Saturday, max
ing the first Marathon swim decided
success. John c. Meyers will be in
charge.
Many of the best distance swim
mers of St. Louis. as well as some Of
the star paddlers of Chicago and Den
yer. are on the list.
H. ]. Handy will most likely start
from the scratch. He has won recog-
milton on several occasions for his en-
durance in the water and his long ex-
perience in this style swim will enable
him to give handicap to the majority
Of the novices.
F. Zimmerman, of Memphis, is also
numbered among the selections. Zim-
hermann will enter as an unattached
contestant. and comes here with a
reputation of being the best paddler in
Memphis.

CANS AT FIGHT WEIGHT.
Is Also the Favorite for the GoIdheId
Battle of September 3.

Goldfeld. New, Aug. 24.-On new
scales provided by Larry Sullivan, who
is acting as manager for Cans. Joe
tipped the scales at 1873 to a hair.
Those who saw the weighin rubbed
their eyes and decided that there was
something the matter with the scales.
It seemed like a miracle that Cans
could look so well at that weight.
Suspecting a frameup, several Of
those present weighed at the same
scales. then went out and weighed on
others. According to this crude test
Sullivan's scales are perfect News
that Cans was ready to weigh caused
some CONSERVATION in the other camp.
Nolan will not believe that the Balti-
morean is down to the 1873 limit.
This means that Cans will not have
to bother much more about weight
and can make his daily work moder-
ate. The evident intention of the Gold
field men who are promoting the fight
that the actual battle shall be strictly
on the square has tended to boost
Cans stock, and as a consequence he
is today probably a shade the favorite
A few bets have been made at 10 to g.

BEL LINEMEN STRIKE.
they Want Higher Wages and Shorter
Hours.

All of the 1inemen. cable splicers and
trouble shooters" in the employ Of the.
Bell Telephone company went out on
strike this morning A large number OF
men walked out.
The strike not only affects Topeka but
the district Immediate to Topeka and
the entire system of the Missouri and
Kansas telephone company
The strike is one for less number of
hours and more pay. The men have
been working nine hours a day for $3.50.
They want $2.75 for an eight hour day.
Involved in this it is said is a question
of recognition by the company of the
union, the company refusing to recog-
nize that a union exists. Some of the
strikers on the other hand claim that
no union exists in reality and that
recognition is not mixed up in the griev-
ance which the men have against the
company.
The men put in their appearance as
usual this morning at the Bell telephone
office but before they commenced work
were notified by leaders, that a strike
had been declared all along the line,
and acting under instructions the men
picked up their dinner pals and return
ed home. Notice was sent out to the
outlying towns where linemen are en-
ployed and at 10 o'clock this morning
there was not lineman working in this
entire district of the Bell telephone sys-
tenn.
ulty VI Us went out In1S morn
ing" said one of the linemen It's Il
question of hours and pay 1 don't
know that there is anything more than
that involved in it. We had a meeting
Wednesday night and decided then that
we would go out unless we got what we
were after. There is not a Hneman
working anywhere; they came in from
as far away as Granville We are go
ing to win in this fight. Everything
looks favorable"
Yes. we had a strike this morning"
said s. T. Howe, district manager II
don't know what the trouble was over
The men just quit. About u nnemeu
went out. We haven't got anyone vet
to replace them. don't know what viii
be done.'
The strike seems to be general over
the entire system of the Kansas Mis-
souri, Telephone company. At Kansas
City it is claimed that 300 men have
quit work A dispatch from Kansas
City says:
c. s. Gleed. president of the Bell Tel
ephone company, does not regard the
threatened strike of 1inemen, cable splic-
ers and helpers as one that will develop
into serious dispute.
I heard from r. c. Mattock, SUPER
intendent of construction at II this
morning" Mr.. Gleed said, that some
of the linemen had quit but we do not
and We have no apprehension about be-
ing able to fill their places"
At labor headquarters the linemen's
representatives were retieent about he
matter but said that 800 men quit work
ing for the Bell company this morn
ip=.
We are not striking it was stated,
because 20 linemen were DISCHARGED
Wednesday morning, but, because the
company refused to grant US better
conditions of labor. We are not yet
prepared to state what better conditions
of labor we asked for"
The strike does not extend to the
employees of the Independent Telephone
company and their linenen are working
as usual today

Charles Hanson, who was arrested
last night on the complaint of Lydia
Deal. who charges him with forcibly
taking a diamond ring from her finger.

The complaining witness in the case

York man who was one of her admirers
before Hanson came on the scene
Hanson besides being a butcher is a
married man, but this does not seem TO
have made any difference with either
of them and they have been good
friends for some time until the ring
episode came between them. He claims
that he was wearing the ring with her
consent and that he was willing that
she should have her property at any
time. Hanson and the Deal girl were
having a little social time at the Arion
club q night or so ago, the ring subject
came up and during the heated argu-
ment which followed the girl charges
that Hanson reached across the table
and hit her and she has the marks with
her to show that the slap was not one
