Mark Twain, Critic.

A successful young novelist was
praising the critical powers Of Mark
Twain.
II once had the honor Of reading a
tale of mine to Mr.. Clemens" he said,
land, thanks to his criticism, the tale
was greatly improved. Originally 1t
was too hlgh-fown; he brought 1t down
to earth and made 1t homelier and
truer.
For instance, the tale concluded
with these words:
"'Mabel's lovely eyes dropped for an
swer, a faint flush tinted her cheeks,
and she gave him both her hands; and
there in the old orchard, In the shade
of the heavy-fruited trees, he drew her
to his breast, and, raising her long
ringlets to his lips, kissed them rever-
entity

clouds Of smoke thoughtfully into the
air, and, as he watched the smoke dis
appear, he drawled:

WHEN POLLY PLAYED.

When Poly played for dancing,
Her slender fingers flew
Across the flashing ivory keys
AS if they winked at you.
The music dubbed under
The magic of her hand
As if the very notes were mad
To join the festive band.
When Polly struck the measure
OF two-step or of waltz,
The Oldest there grew young again
And laughed at times assaults;
While lovely Sweet and Twenty,
And happy Sweet Sixteen,
Went floating light as thistledown
The merry slaves between.
When Polly played the lancers
You should have seen us bow,
And weave the figures out and int
Would we were dancing now,
With Polly playing bravely,
And all the old set there.
Till who'd believe twas midnight By
The clock upon the stair.
Then Polly played as gayly
AS the youngest heart can feel,
And lad and lass we danced amain
! The blithe Virginia reel.
If Cupid sped his arrows.
Be sure his aim was true,
When Polly played for dancing, and
| The hours fairly flew.

Eiuhty Years of Railroads.

We have yet two decades to wait be-
fore we can celebrate the centennial
anniversary Of the birth of the rail
road. 1t is wonderful record, that
eighty years of rapid transit devel-
opment. 1t has revolutionized the
world, commercially, socially and intel
lectually. The Atlantic and the Pacific
have become near neighbors, the mac
cessible and therefore valueless plains
of the West have been penetrated and
brought into touch with the markets of
the world. New York and Chicago
that In the pioneer days were weeks
away from one another, are now but
eighteen hours apart.
The railroad has entered Jerusalem
it has pierced darkest Africa; it is
crossing the sands of the Sahara; II
scales the side of Vesuvius, it bridges
the most forbdding chasms and tun
nels through mountains and under riv
ers. The whistle of the locomotive Is
the voice Of progress! The rails ovel
which 1t runs are the steel bands thai
bind nations into a great commercial
brotherhood.
The rapid development of the worli
along every desirable line since the 10
connective became a factor in human
affairs is all the argument necessary
to prove the railroad the greatest o.
all civilizing influences. A comparison
of the past eighty years with the thou
sands of centuries preceding furnishe,
an eloquent proof of the far reaching
uplifting Industrial, ethical and educa
tional value Of the railroad-Fou

been seen lately, and we were likely to
run against cougars almost anywhere !;
but the goats We're hard to get a shot

a ticklish job. When l told him this,
his only answer was that both things

eagerness for the expedition. We reach

the banks Of stream that flowed down
toward the Yampah river.
We were on the move next morning
by daybreak. Mr.. Percy and l were

knife; while Simpson, who followed us
with many predictions of coming dis

and coil of rope over his arm. Simp-

bis very awkwardness, while 1t brought
upon us our greatest peril, led to the
accomplishment of one Of the objects
Of our trip.
When we climbed about half way to
the crest of the mountain we stoned
on a ledge a moment to take breath
and look about u.s.

istinguished Bishop of the MethO~
dist Episcopal Church.
Charles Cardwell McCaDe, bishop Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, who
died recently In New York. was one
of the most noted churchmen in the
country. He was stricken with apo
plexy after having delivered lecture
in the metropolis, and gradually sank
into the eternal slumber.
Famous as lecturer and writer,
Bishop McCabe had also won signal
distinction in the missionary field. His
influence, which was extended to all
classes, was ever exercised for the
higher morality Of life, and within as
well as outside the Methodist church
he was a potent factor in bringing men
to a fuller and clearer perception of
Christian ethics and principles Long
and kindly will he be remembered by
many who never subscribed to the ten
cts of the church OF which he was q
shining ornament
Bishop McCabe had great personal
magnetism. Even in his more youthful
days he was noted for the force ana
energy of his character. His power of
making people put their hands n their
pockets and contribute to the service
of God has seldom been surpassed.
The Methodist Episcopal -hurch owes
much to him in this respect. lie was
born in Athens Ohio, Oct II, 1885. He
entered the Ohio conference In 1850.
During the Civil War Bishop McCabe
served as army chaplain, being attach

Chaplain McCabe followed him
! throughout life. By this title he was

MR., BISHOPS LETTER,

Bul ct n readers are very for
tunate in having an opportunity to
obtain through these columns the di-
rect explanation and mature opinions
OF Hon. Charles X. Bishop on the
financial situation of the mainland.
Hawaii knows Mr.. Bishop as good
friend and honest advisor. He Is a
leader in finance and, being in the
midst of things at financial centcrs,
he speaks from the book. His letter
was not written for publication, but
there was nothing in his review that
need be kept from the public. This
rhows that there are no underground
strings pulling; the whole situation
is open and above-board, and there is
no Just occasion for scare. The
country is temporarily short of coin.
That's the long and short of 1t. Con-
sequently the person who retires coin
from circulation and locks 1t up is
doing himself and everyone else an
injury.
The manipulatiOns of the frenzied
financiers of New York have been of
4 character to weaken the confidence
OF the people, especially those with
whom they were doing business. The
resulting upheaval was felt through
out the country. but the business men
took timely measures to protect their
clients and their section of the coun'
try. The situation is unusual and
extraordinary, to be sure. The peo'
pie who keep cool will come out all
right. That is what the people of the
West are doing, and although New
York is causing them inconvenience
at present the recovery is sure to be
prompt.

BANNER SUGAR YEAR.

The b IL ! G t n is able to give to-
day the official figures of this years
sugar crop of the Islands. Reference
to the comparative tables will show
that Hawaii has harvested the largest
sugar crop in it's history. The mar
gin over last year is not very large,
but IL Is nevertheless on the right
side.
Another incident of IIawaii's good
fortune is the fact that the price at
which the crop has been marketed
has been uniformly good. The mar
gin of profit has been fair, though
not exceptional. The crop has not
moved rapidly to the market, but in
some instances the shipping delays
have put the sugar in port at times
when the higher price of the latter
Lart of the season was ruling.
Equally gratifying is the prospect
that Hawaii will have a first-class
crop for the next year, barring I'M
toreseen damage by unusual weather.
,"he crop on which grinding will be-
gin next month is generally reported
to be a large one.

MORMON ISSUE IS
RAISED IN COURT

The Mormon issue finally cropped
out In the trial of George Kekauoha
before Judge Dole yesterday after
noon, and, rs was expected, caused a
vigorous argument between counsel
for the prosecution and the attorneys
for the defense.
The phase OF the matter which
came up was whether or not state
ments made before church meeting,
at which there were in attendance
both kumu and kahunapule, or teach
IRIS and elders, are privileged and not
admissible as evidence in a court of
law.
The witness on the stand was Ke-
kuhu. who admitted after long ques-
tioning by Dunno that he was kumu
of the Mormon Church. DUNES
questions were to bring out the fact
that kumu is not clergyman, and
this he succeeded in doing. Kekuhu
said that kumu is kind of ecclesi-
astical policeman, whose duty II is to
visit the houses of the members of the
church and find out what they are do
ing, and make his report pack to the
Directorate, which is composed of
both teachers and elders.
Dunno stated to the Court that he
intended to show that George Kekau-
cha made confession at meeting
at which there were both kumu and
kahunapule in attendance, in which
he admitted that he had committed
adultery.
He argued that a confession made
to clergyman In the presence of a
man could not be regarded as privi-
legged. and was admissible as evil
dence. Kekuhu had testified, he said,
that at this meeting there were both
elders, who might possibly be called
ciergymen, and teachers, who. could
not be so regarded. Consequently no
statement made at such meeting
could be regarded as privileged. He
cited several authorities to prove his
| oint.
Judge Perry vigorously opposed
this proposition. He contended that
the tenets of the Mormon Church re-
quire It's members to appear at the
church meeting and confess their
sins to each other, and they are oh.
liged to do this pro salute animi.
Since they are Obliged to do this, such
confessions should be as much privi-
LEGGED as the confession Of Roman
Catholic to his priest. Perry made a
Vigorous argument and cited list of
authorities in opposition to those
QUOTED by Dunno.
At 4 o'clock Judge Dole announced
that he would reserve his decision OF
the matte" until Monday morning.
The question arose over q query put
by Perry to Kekuhu as to whether
the Mormons did not look upon con-
LESSONS made at their church meet
ing as sacred. To this question
Dunno objected. Dole's decision will
I've as to whether or not Kekuhu shall
answer the question. Upon this de-
Icision hinges the entire case, and 1t
is much more far-reaching than that,
as II Dole compels the witness to re-
ply, II will be a severe blow to the
Mormon Church.
