cotton goods that sell in Persian gulf
ports are suited also for this market
American gray shirtings have made
their appearance also on the Persian
side of the gulf, having come through
Bombay commission houses, and from
all accounts they are being kindly re-
ceived. All the gulf ports maintain
close connections with Bagdad, and In
view of the importance Of the latter
city in this part Of the world 1t would
seem that this market Is we'll worthy
the attention of American cotton man
ufacturers.
Bagdad supplies northwestern Persia
with foreign goods Of many kinds, and
owing to the constant development Of
these regions the importance of Bag
dad as a commercial center is daily
increasing. The substitution by the
natives of imported goods for those of
local manufacture and the increasing
popularity Of the diverse varieties Of
cotton goods among the Arab tribes
present many attractions to European
exporters, and American manufacturers
will do we'll to follow their example
and keep a sharp lookout on develop
ments in Turkish Arabia.
The imports of Manchester goods
show a decrease for 1906. owing to
high quotations and distant deliveries.
Tho vaar saw n ahorta pa In the inn
ports of English gray yarns. India
quoted cheaper prices and supplied
Bagdad with about $500 bales. valued
at $4,000. Some $50 bales Of bleached
yarns have come from Great Britain,
their value being some $4,000.

young lady; take her back to Tempest
Hall, Peg, and let no harm happen to
her on the way"
Peg stared hard at me in the moon
light
"She came hunting for the book, eh %
she said, dryly.
YES" answered the man. Can
trust her to your care?"
THAT you can!" answered Peg Pat
ton. Goodnight, sir-it will be many
long days, I s'pose. afore see you
again?"
Years, Peggy: not days." he cor
rected.
!! We'll, sir" said Peg, sadly, I'm glad
you came down to the Inlet, to see her
tonight-she won't last much longer.
You will go your own way, sir, and
nobody can keep you: but roaming over
the world never yet cured trouble.
Now, make haste. Miss Ravenel," turn
ing sharply to me.
1 needed no urging. She strobe off,
like grenadier, and followed. When
we reached the sand dunes, she asked:
Did you recognize that man, miss?'
Yes" I answerly, calmly; 'he was
Basil Hawkstone. You need not go
with me further, Peggy. I am not in
the least afraid"
II shall do as he bade me-" she an
swered. Grossly: "his word Is my law.
You have a good memory, miss. He Is
going across seas again, and he came
down to the island tonight to see a
friend. afore he should sail. You'd
better not speak Of his visit to anybody
at Tempest Hail."
II will not" 1 answered.
She tramped on before me to the very
door of the house.
Now, you are SAFE" she muttered;
"he told me to take care Of you, and I
have done it," and she turned and
left me.

WIT OF COLONEL MosBY.-A southern
general who was invited to address
Mosby's men at one Of their reunions
drew a contrast between "the poor
regulars sleeping in wet trenches and
living on hardtack" and Mosby's men
sleeping in feather beds and living
on the fat Of the land"
Colonel Mosby was not present, but
the remarks came to his ears. In
war;" was his comment, "the para
mount duties of a commander are two
to take the best possible care Of his
own troops and to infiict the greatest
possible damage upon the enemy. Now,
II kept my troops in such comfort and
even luxury, as General Blank main
tains 1 did, and If inflicted ON the
enemy as much damage as the official
reports of the northern officers admit
did, then instead Of criticising me
General Blank ought to rank me as
greater military leader than Napoleon"

Washington, Dec. 17.-There will be
$50 delegates to the Republican nation
al convention In 1908, of whom 966 will
represent the forty-five states and
fourteen the territories of New Mexico,
Arizona and Alaska, the District Of
Columbia, Philippine Islands, Porto
Rico and Hawaii. A majority, or 491,
is necessary to nominate candidate,
and it requires no complex computation
to show that not one of the candidates
now in the field has anything like a
cinch on the nomination just yet.
Nor can any of them figure out now
just where he will secure the number
of votes necessary to choice, which
goes to prove more than any other
evidence to the same effect what a wide
open contest the Republican race Is.
Immediately after the holiday recess of
congress, the Joseph G. Cannon presi-
Dental boom will be launched in earn
est. Just what peculiar form the
launching will take Is a matter which
the promoters Of the speakers candi-
dacy have not definitely divulged: but
it will be in such manner as to let the
whole country know that the statesman
from Danville, ILL.,, Is a real, sure
enough. never-say-die candidate for
the political shoes Of the Honorable
Theodore Roosevelt.
During the past month MIR. Cannon
has with difficulty restrained his sup
porters from coming out into the open
and pushing him to the front. There
were two reasons a month ago, why he
wanted to be kept in the background.
One was on account Of the president,
as the speaker did not want to be re-
garded as an active candidate until
the president should again declare
himself against third term. The 9TH
er reason was that ne desired to have
the matter of the appointment Of the
house committees out Of the way be-
fore the real work in his behalf should
be begun.

SUCCESS THAT DOESN'T SUCCEED
Have you ever noticed" began the
man who eats around here and there,
"the way a little restaurant will spring
up every once in a while here in Cleve-
land, and do a big business for while,
and then gradually peter out?"

place does a big business.

need not tell you now. You would
not approve Of her-old Hypo and all
his kind would condemn her pitilessly.
That does not matter. Come life or
death, come evil or good, prosperity or
utter destruction, there is henceforth
but one woman in the world for me! I
cannot turn back from the way that l
have chosen-if do not win that gold
haired enchantress for my own, l am
forever undone."
l put down my brothers letter with
a disturbed and anxious heart What
strange madness had come to Gabriel?
A foreboding of evil got possession Of
me. Who was the girl in the curved
phaeton-the sorceress, that had be-
witched him with single look? l
went to bed in great depression Of
spirits, and cried myself to sleep.
The next day was the Sabbath, and
with the rest Of the household I at
tended service in the island church.
These islanders are God fearing peo-
-
clergyman comes over from Whithaven
and breaks to them the Bread Of Life.
BY skilful management, I succeeded
in placing Mrs. Otway betwixt myself
and Vincent Hawkstone in the family
pew, but could not keep his eyes from
my face during the service. AS we
filed out of church, Bee said, solemnly:
Cousin Vincent, you ought to look
at the minister and the hymnbook, and
not all the time at Miss Ravenel. 1t
isn't devout, you know"
He patted her head, laughing.
"One is bound to look longest at the
thing that pleases one most, my dear!'
he answered, audaciously.
Let us go into the graveyard, Miss
Ravenel, and pick daisies" said Bee.
l allowed her to lead me into the
green inclOsure. Vincent Hawkstone
followed. / seated myself on a stone
slab, raised on four legs. and inscribed
with the name and virtues Of some
dead islander, and Hawkstone threw
himself in the grass at my feet. He
made striking picture, as he lay
there, with his hat off. and the waning
sun slanting on his red-gold curls and
over his flushed and eager face.
Hope 1 sha'n't disturb any Of these
old buffers by stretching my living
body upon their dead ones. in this
reckless fashion," he laughed. "Of
course, you know, Miss Ravenel that
the island has been haunted ever since

genuine ghost here-I saw ii once my

TYPED LOVE LErTERs.-"Men are
getting so that they want to write their
love letters on a typewriter" said the
public stenographer in one Of the big
hotels yesterday. They come In and
want to rent the use Of machine for
a little while-won't dictate the letter
TO me. Whenever they want to paddle
the machine themselves then l
know that it's love letter. Men are
not often so cautious as all that about
their business letters.
1T used to be that a girl would get
huffy IL she got letter from a fellow
written on the typewriter, but guess
they're getting so they don't mind 1t so
much any more. A good many Of these
travelling men have been in an office at
some time or other and learned to run
a machine and they say they like to
write their letters that way because
they can do 1t so much more quickly"

COTTON GOODS IN TURKEY.
One Foreign Country Where Ameri'
cans Have Very Good Show.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Consul w. c.
Magelssen, writing from Bagdad, fur
nishes the following information con-
cerning the consumption Of cotton
goods in that part Of Asiatic Turkey:
Cotton goods form the principal
item Of imports into Bagdad and their
consumption Is yearly increasing.
Their value exceeds $1,OO0,000 an
nually. The most important Bagdad
houses have their own buyers in Man
chester and these supply the local mar
ket with only such goods as they know
will find favor here. British cotton
manufacturers study the requirements
and wants of the people with whom
they desire to transact business, and
the result Is that seldom, If ever does
a British cotton goods consignment ar
rive here that can not be quickly dis
posed of. Some thirty years ago Bag
dad firms had no buyers in Manches-
ter; today fifteen native merchants
have branch houses there. The great
bulk Of the cotton importations is Brit
ish. Terms OF payment are cash on
arrival Of goods, though sometimes a
credit is allowed after arrival.
During the past year Italy has made
strong efforts to share in this market,
and the quantity Of cotton goods hith-
erto imported from that country has
trebled. Direct shipments from Italy
were made, but more important con-
signments came via Syrian ports, where
Italian manufacturers make frequent
calls and where they are represented
by agents who extend their business
operations to these parts In hosiery
Italy stands at the head as the sup
plier of this markets wants, while the
cotton cloth importations have consist
ed mainly of prints. Austria Is also
making progress in the Mesopotamian
cotton market.
1t Is not many years since American
cotton goods found their way to Egypt
and the Sudan. Five years ago Syrian
houses placed important orders with
American firms for cotton goods to be
shipped to the east and west coasts Of
the Red sea. Gradually American
cotton goods have worked their way to
Jibuti Alden, Bombay and Karachi, and
are now slowly working their way up
the Persian gulf. In Koweit and
Bahrein American gray sheetings, thir-
ty inches wide and thirty-six yards
to the piece, are finding favor, and
from these ports they are being dis
tributed to interior points Of Arabia,
where they are known under the name
of "Americani" The same quality Of

SUPERINTENDENT BABBITT DIS
CUSSES $500 APPROPRIATION
WITH GOVERNOR FREAR.

superintendent of Public instruction
Babbittt, spent some time this morn
ing with Governor Frear discussing
with the executive the matter of the
new High School for which the last
legislature voted $1,000
Tentative plans have been prepared
for the proposed building, which how
ever cannot be built until the money
is forthcoming from the prospective
bond issue, authorized by the Legisla-
ture
There is also a question which will
hold up the building for some time,
and that is the Lanai land exchange
case an appeal on which is at present
pending in the United States Supreme
court. The site on which the new
school building is to be built, is one
OF the lots secured by tire Territory
through the exchange effected by Gov
ernor Carter with Chas. Gay, in ex-
change for the Island of Lanai. This
deal is being fought and is now up to
the Supreme Court of the United States
Governor Frear this morning stated
that it is possible that the matter re-
ceive hearing in October, as an effort
would be made to have it pushed ahead
on the calendar and have it considered
at the time that other cases ow the
Territory will come up.

PIG is the password.
PIG is PIG without the l. A pig
without an eye is a blind-pig. The
town is full of "blind-pigs," therefore
PIG is the password of the unlicensed
fraternity, for in the parlance of the
police a place where liquor is sold
without sanction of the law is a
"blind-pig."
While the publiC's attention is at
present drawn to liquor license contro-
versies the fact that Honolulu is alive
with holes-in-the-wall, blind-pigs,
speal-easies and booze-bureaus, not Ii
censed, comes to the front as an indi-
cation of what lot there is to be
done. Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese,
Hawaiians, Europeans and Americans
are making easy livings selling booze
in sneak-corners and back rooms and
cellars and grocery and fruit stores,
practically undisturbed.
Meanwhile the police are not idle,
but they seem to be very much handi-
capped in that their men are known
and informers of the safe kind are diff
ficult to secure. Many of the unlicens-
ed resorts are known to the police and
many more are known to a large pro-
portion of the public.
Here are a few of the blind-pigs
where liquor is sold without license,
locations and not names are given for
the reason that the question of pro-
prietorship is not always as evident
as the fact of the dispensing of liquor:
Fort street, near Allen, Waikiki side,
Chinese tobacco, fruit and soda-water
store; this place is of long standing
and very popular and has been watch
