HAWORTH PRosPERING.

l.. w. Haworth, formerly editor OF
the Tribune, writing under date of
Feb. II from Manhattan, New, to
friends in Hilo, states that ON Jan. 1O
he began publication of the Mail at
that place. Manhattan, he says, is a
typical boom mining town full of good
opportunities to make money of which
he has not been slow to take advan-
tage. Christmas there We're 81 tents in
the town; now it has built up nine
blocks long on both sides of the street,
the hillside dotted with tents, and lots
have risen from $500 to $500 in price
The boom is founded, he says, on val
liable mining property and next summer
big rush is expected He says Man
haitian is the greatest place in America
to ''Get there EH' in for making
money. There are also very profitable
sure thing propositions in raising al
falfa and potatoes around the camps of
Tonopah, Bullfrog and Manhattan He
started the publication of the Mail on
Jan. 10, has subscribers from all parts
of the country and more job work than
he can handle. He has also organized
the A. L. Smith Co. to engage in the
business of handling mining properties
and stocks.-Hilo Tribune.

of the old guard remaining. The new
men are mostly natives and the COM
pany is said to be at present in a re-
markable state of efficiency.

sneered at. still we are to obey Gods

Joys in Tree Planting.

In the early spring the tree fakir is
thriving upon the fad for foreign trees
and shrubs. About the time the snow
disappears in early spring the tree
fakir takes his grubbing hoe, his prun.
ing shears and ball of Irvine and goes
into the woods. There he grubs up tree
sprouts-sumach, oak, alianthus, hick-
DRY, beech, poplar, chestnut-or almost
anything else will serve his purpose
These he trims and prunes and ties up
in bundles for removal to the place
where they are to be stored.
When the spring tidying up Of the
home garden commences the tree fakir
makes his appearance in public. He
will show pictures of rare Japanese or
Chinese or Mexican or East Indian
shrub trees and offer to supply you
sprouts at figure that is most invit-
ing. You see an opportunity to get a
plant worth $12 for 81, and then you
think of the envy which that queer,
red-leafed, wide-spreading bush will
excite in the breast of your neighbor-
and you buy.
BY and by you shout with Joy and
call. your wife out to see the tiny
leaves, and then you begin to brag and
look down upon your neighbors. You
invite them in to see the wonder, and
you talk learnedly of horticulture in
Japan or the East Indies.
And then your glorious tree bursts
into leaf-when you discover that you
have bought an ordinary, common,
everyday sumach or a maple, or, per-
haps, a scrawny little peach tree. Then
you lie in wait for him, and you meet
with another disappointment. He
doesn't come around any more.

object in uniting the women Of the
South was to bring them together, to

Confederate veterans i'm extending all

She worked for years striving to
organize the United Daughters Of the
Confederacy before even her own
association of which she was presi-
dent would cooperate with her in call
ing convention and inviting other
Daughters of the Confederacy to unite
in forming national association. At
this time, besides being President of the
Tennessee Daughters, she was mem
Der of the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections, the ational
Prisoners Association, and the National
Humane Association, and was edu-
Gated up to the point where she could
see the advantage, of consolidating the
scattered forces of Confederate work
ers who We're few and far apart. Her
work with the national associations
showed her the great possibilities in
concert of action, and, having time,
means, and social influence to back her
in the work, she determined to carry
out her plans, and unfinchingly fought
opposition from start to finish. The
result was that on September 10, 1894,
the Society of the United Daughters Of
the Confederacy was organized at
Nashville, Tenn.
When the Tenneseeans announced
little over month ago that they pro-
posed to have a portrait Of Mrs. Good
lett painted and placed in the museum
at Richmond, Va, appeals came at
once from the chapter of the States re-
questing that they might also con-
tribute toward honoring their founder.
The requests were complied with and
the portrait was unveiled at Nash
Vile, Tenn, June 8, 1905.

MEMORIAL DAY.

No memorial day, or Decoration
Day, as it is more generally known,
has ever come around, since after
the institution Of the observance, more
than thirty-ive years ago, when a
better state of feeling existed between
the North and South. and between
the men who fought in the war, than
now. There has been a decided ten
dency this year to all sorts of Blue and
Gray proceedings. The Grand Army
posts and the Confederate camps have
mixed themselves up in a most genial
way.
This does not mean that the special
value of the day, to the northerner, as
commemoration Of the services and
death of the Union soldier has lost it's
fine edge. On the contrary, it has
gained in zest The soldier died for
the Union, and those who lay flowers
on his grave cannotdo so without think

ANTI-MONOPOLY LAWS.
Regulations in France Which RigidIy
Prohibit the C0rnering Of Neces.
sary Commodities.

It seems that our antitrust and mon
oply crusaders might learn something
from the methods employed in our
Sister Republic of France. There,
capitalists are limited in their opera
lions of "cornering" commodities. This
applies particularly to those products
which are considered necessities Of
life, such as grain and its products,
bread, meat, wine, vegetables, fruit,
butter, vinegar, coal, wool, silk, ETC..
Any "cornering" of such articles is a
criminal offense in France. 1t has been
so, with varying forms of penalties
dealt out, since 1893. The offense has
been made so broad and sweeping that
it now includes all persons who de.
stroy or permit to perish merchandise
of prime necessity, whether it is their
property or not.
The criminal code prohibits mani.
pulations tending to bring about an
advance or fall in price that is not
warranted by the law of supply and
demand. The law does not include
tobacco, of course. for tobacco is a
government monopoly and controlled
absolutely by 1t. The punishment met
ed out to the violators of this law con-
sists Of both Imprisonment and f1ne
the term and amount being measured
by the magnitude of the offense. In
addition to this the offending manu-.
facturer, merchant, or manipulation has
his factory or business establishment
placed under police supervision, the ex-
pense of which he pays for from two to
five years. There is no more trouble
in handbag offending corporations
than individuals. Every director or
employee in managerial capacity is
responsible. For second offense, the
penalty is so severe that it would re-
suit in the determination of almost
any establishment.

is OLD AS He FEELS.
AT EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS, SENA-
OR PETTUS DISGUISED AT
BEING CALLED AGED.

Constituents ldOllze Him-But They
are Preparing to Hold an Election
to Decide on Successor-in Case He
Dies.
Something unusual is happening in
Alabama. The people unanimously
want Edmund Winston Pettus to con-
tinue to serve them in the United
States Senate as long as he lives. Yet
they are preparing to hold an election
to decide upon his successor. The rea-
son is that when Senator Pettus' pres
ent term expires, in 1909, he will be
SO years old, and the election is to be
held because Alabamans fear he will
not live longer than that. But Grand
pa Pettus is indignant. He says he
is as spry as he was at go and that he
expects to live out the whole six years
of another term. He is candidate for
reelection on the platform: "A man
is as young as he feels"
Senator Pettus had reached the time
for chloroforming, according to the
so-called Osler doctrine, back in '63--
about the time he was performing
deeds of daring in defense of Vicks-
burg, fighting with the Confederate
army. 1t seems that the situation had
become desperate; volunteers were
called for forlorn hope. A brigade
of reckless Texans offered for the
service, and Pettus offered to lead

that tall figure rose and that black
straight name waved those Texans
followed. They loved him for his dar-
ing, and when all was done and they
learned that he was from Alabama
and not from Texas they insisted on
adopting him for their State, and by
one acclaim he was christened "Old
Texas" Pettus was a Forty Miner.
He rode from Alabama to California
on horseback with company of some
forty of his neighbors. He was mere
lad then of twenty-eight, but had al
ready had adventures in the Mexican
war, in which he fought. At eighty
five his record is said to be something
like this: Enjoys game of cards,
reads his Bible, loves flowers, runs no
bills, carries red bandana, calls his
wife sweetheart, has a fund of subtle
humor, and being Senator who works,
hasn't time to think whether the Grim
Reaper is twenty or only ten years
off. That, his friends believe, is a
good enough platform in itself.
