STEAMSHIP ALAMEDA GIVEN
BIG RECEPTION AT HONOLULU
Thousands Gather at the Oceanic Wharf

San Franchises.

San Francisco.
HONOLULU. May 14.-Never has the
Alameda been given such a reception as
was accorded her when she arrived from
San Francisco on the morning OF May
with passengers who had passed
through the EARTHQUAKE and fire. She
was sighted at daylight after a very
quick trip, having left San Francisco
four hours later than usual.
The Oceanic wharf was packed. Thou
sands pressed to the gates to get a
glimpse of friends on board. The Ha-
waiian band greeted the vessel with glad
strains When the gangway was rugged
there was rush in both directions, up
and down. but the onslaught had the
advantage. and shore folks went aboard
before the passengers could be landed.
The scene that followed was emotional
in the extreme. Long felt anxiety had
to have expression and the joy Of recov-
cry of loved ones produced reaction that
found its natural vent in tears and a
dearth OF words for the moment

Calcium Nitrate From, Air.

The worlds greatest store Of nitrog-
enous plant food-the nitrate of soda,
or saltpeter. beds Of Chile-is expected
to become exhausted within a third of
a century. To provide a new supply is
therefore a problem of immediate con-
Germ, and for a number Of years cleo
tricians have been striving to solve it
by using the electric spark for oxidiz-
Ing or fixing" the nitrogen of the air.
Last year n factory was started at No
todden. in Norway, for making calcium
nitrate from air and limestone by
means of the electric arc flames, and
this has given results SO promising that
new works, using 10000 horsepower,
will soon be opened.
The calcium nitrate, which proves
equal to the soda saltpeter as a fer
tlizer, is now produced at a factory
cost Of $50 per ton.

Where Colors Come From.

The cochineal bug furnishes many
OF the most brilliant colors, including
the bright carmine, crimson, purple
lake and scarlet. The cuttleflsh gives
the sepia. and Indian yellow comes
from the camel.
Ivory chips produce ivory black and
bone black. and the exquisite Persian
blue was discovered accidentally by
fusing horses hoofs and other refuse
animal matter with impure potassium
carbonate. Crimson lake from
the roots and barks OF certain trees.
blue black from the charcoal of the
vine chalk. and Turkey red comes from
the root of the madden plant found in
Hindustan. India ink Is made from

had been a hard thing to do.

remained undiscovered as yet in its
grandeur and loneliness il some one

covering it was as difficult Il task as

The mountain hadn't crawled in a
hole. nor was it hiding behind a sage
bush when Pike happened along. As
we understand it. it was standing
around OF its base waiting to be dis
covered.
Great credit is doubtless due to the
intrepid explorers who brushed past
the Indians and took this grand old
mountain in out of the cold. but still q
man would have to be short sighted
who could pass it without noticing
something. it is SO very. very obvious.

The Young Widow.

G HE is modest, but not bashful:
Free and easy. but not bold:
Like an apple-ripe and mellow:
Not too young n not too old;
Half inviting. half repulsive,
Now advancing and now shy;
There is mischief in her dimple;
There Is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooled in all her arts:
She has aiken her diploma
AS the mistress of all hearts,;
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile.
Oh. a maid Is sometimes charming,
But the widow all the while!
Are you sad? How very serious
Will her handsome face become!
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Lonely. friendless, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful? How her laughter.
Silver sounding. will ring out!
She can lure and catch and play YOU
AS the angler does the trout.
You old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bold and wise:
Young Americans of twenty,

Who could win and fool you all.

PUTTING HIS CLIENTS VIEW, but putting it
fairly and truthfully. His client may be right or wrong, but in like
case he performs a useful function in no way inconsistent with his
perfectly independent and trustworthy devotion to the PUBLIC
INTERESTS. When, however, it has happened, as it sometimes has.
and, I am sorry to say, more often than W g could wish, that a lawyer
addressing the public or public officers and assuming the guise Of
DISTINGUISHED CONCERN for the public welfare, has really
and truly spoken in behalf Of undisclosed clients whose retainers were
SECRETLY in his pocket, he has done something which not only is
YER, but something which ought to be abhorrent to every right
thinking man.
There is a further duty upon us. Governmental problems related
to corporations are of enormous present and future importance to the
American people. They involve far reaching considerations of monop-
oily and of taxation, a share, ofentimcs a DANGEROUS SHARE,
in the control of the sources of political power and a share, also a dan
gerous share, in the control of public administration. 1t is for lawyers
as it is for n other body, and, among them, for those who arm any
part of their living by serving corporate interests, to be COURAGE
OUSLY INDEPENDENT in dealing with questions of corporate
reform.
l beg to point out to those who W or are concerned for corpora
tons that in the long run the safety of their stockholders depends
upon a COMPLETE PUBLICITY. In spite of the great flood of
reckless talk and of i'll considered and CHEAP THINKING to
which today we must listen, I do not believe that there is any perma-
nent unw1llingness on the part of the American people to award great
profits for great business 0 economic services, vast profits, if you
please, for VAST SERVICES of that character.
BELIEVE, INDEED. THAT THE DAY OF SECRECY As A PRIME
CONDITION OF BUSINESS LIFE HAS PASSED.
The successful man is he who can create value with the least in.
vestment Of money and labor, or who can first learn what is valuable

petent to these great functions of modern industry need not call
