THE SISAL PLANT.

NEW YORK. May 24.-The culti-
walton of the slsal plant in the Bahia

Shea that 1t is pushing the sponge in

the fiber plant will make a wonderful
position for the little island In the

The slsal plant has always grown
wild on the islands, and has been look
ed upon as one OF the greatest pests,
as 1t was almost impossible for the
native farmers to eradicate 1t from

in the midst of every crop and refusing
to be destroyed.

MARRIED YESTERDAY
At THE CATHEDRAL

The wedding OF Miss Elizabeth Baker
and Mr.. H. Phillips. announced some
weeks ago, was solemnized, yesterday
afternoon at half past five o'clock, at
st. Andrews cathedral, Bishop Res
tarick officiating. The evening was one
of especial loveliness, the soft sky and
beautiful tropical foliage touched with
the evening light, showing through the
open windows. The chancel rails were
thickly wound with white jasmine, and
the decorations on and at the rear of
the altar were in the same harmonious
colors.
The church was weIl-filled with the
friends of the bride to whom she has
endeared herself by her unfailing gra-
ciousness and charm of manner.
While the guests were being seated
the organist, Mr.. Rudland Bode, play
ed the offertory in e major, by Batisle,
and an allegretto by Iridov.
At the appointed time the bride adj
vanced up the aisle upon the arm Of
Mr.. II. p. Wood, the organist playing
the wedding march from Lohengrin.
They were met at the entrance to
the choir. by Bishop Restarick and the
bridegroom. Here the first part of the
service was read, the bride being given
away by MIR. Wood.
The bride and groom, preceded by
the Bishop. then advanced toward the
altar, where the final vows were made
and the benediction was pronounced.
The register was then signed and the
bride and groom left the church, Men
delssohn's wedding march being play
ed. The bride wore most becoming
and artistic gown of white silk null
deliberately trimmed with hand needle-
work and Irish lace, with wide drap-
ed girdle OF white satin finished with
graceful bow at the back. With this
charming costume she wore a large
white hat trimmed in bows of soft
white satin, and carried shower
bouquet of maidenhair and jasmine.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Phillips, with delightful informality,
sat in the carriage and received the
good wishes and congratulations of
their friends, as they came out of the
cathedral.
They sail for Japan on Thursday to
be absent some months. During her
short residence In Honolulu Mrs. Phil
lips has made hosts of friends. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips take with them
all good wishes for their future hap
piness from those in Honolulu who
have been so fortunate as to meet
them.

RESTRICTION OF
SALOON LICENSES

A meeting Of the Board of License
Commissioners was held Tuesday af-
tcrnoon at which large number of
applications for licenses were received.
The applications were discussed by the
Board and a number of defects In their
making out were called attention to,
The chief Of these was in the fact that
the description of the premises was
not exact, the exact frontage aud depth
not being given or the premises in
which it was desired to sell liquor be.
ing exactly described. In this con-
nection attention was called to the fact
that in some of the saloons leantos are
placed outside of the main buildings
and the owners of saloons wishing re-
newals should describe these rs well as
their saloon proper.
The saloon nuisance around the Fish
market was discussed and Chief
of Detectives Taylor was called on for
'NSs'hVhN III iNSaiN w tht
of these resorts. He told of the fact
that every Monday morning in the po-
lice court when asked where they got
their liquor, large percentage of those
charged with being drunk stated that
they had purchased it near the Fish
market.
He also spoke of the fact that it was
unpleasant for women to go to the
Fishmarket on Saturday afternoons on
account of the fact that so many in
toxicated or half intoxicated men were
coming in and out from the low grog
geries which line King street in that
part of town.
When asked if he thought that to
refuse to issue licenses within n block
of the Fishmarket would improve con.
ditions, he said that it would if too
many were not issued in that one sec
tion. There was no decision made on
the matter, which will be taken up
again at another meeting.
Inspector Fennell took his oath of
office and will be given police COM
mission by Sheriff Iaukea in order that
he may handle his duties more easily
He will take up the matter of applica-
lions at once and there is enough work
on hand now to keep him busy for some
time.
Another important matter which was
discussed was that of saloons near the
military reservation at Kahauiki. 1t
was the opinion of some of the mem
bers of the board that licenses should
be granted in this section when the
troops move there from Camp McKin-
ley, but no action has been taken on
the matter as yet.
The matter of women and children
being in the saloons was taken up and
attention called to the fact that the
law forbids women and minors 'to be,
remain in or about" the premises of
saloons. This section will be enforced
strictly. Attention was also called
to the fact that under the new law,
the license inspector, the commissioners
Or the police may, on information,
swear out warrant before the District |
Judge and search any premises where

Why Real Estate is the Best

Real Estate is the base of all value.
If you put your money in a savings bank,
you get interest They make that for
you by lending money in bulk at high

it on security, of which the final value is
Real Estate. You invest your money in
a mortgage-the man who borrows it
must be in some way getting more out of

Ii Has Grown Some

On August 4, 1854, John Cal
houn was appointed surveyor
general of Kansas and Nebras-
ka Territories, His first report
of completed surveys was made
the Goth of the present month, in
1856, and was addressed to Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks, commits
sioner of the general land office.
The approved surveys compris-
ed strip of country extending
along the Missouri river to the
Nebraska line, and embraced for
the most part the counties of
Atchison, Doniphan, Brown, the
east half of Nemaha. a small
corner of Jackson, the greater
part of Jefferson and all of
Leavenworth n d Wyandotte,
except Indian and military res
ervations. Calhoun's map of
the two territories, made at
that time, shows that Kansas
had but three towns which he
considered worthy IF being
marked-Atchison, Leaven-
worth and Wyandotte, In this
respect, however, Kansas was
considerably ahead of her twin
sister, Nebraska, which was not
represented on the map by j

The Preachers Pay.

Separation OF church and
State is admirable from every
point of view except that If the
minister.
At the Wisconsin Methodist
Conference it was said that
twenty pastors of tn1t denom'
ination IN the State received
less than four hundred dollars a
year; fifty seven not over six
hundred; and that. while the
cost of living had increased
forty percent, the preachers
pay had actually decreased.
In Indiana the average salary
is said to be under seven
hundred a year, with but a
small raise of late years to OFF,
set much higher living eX-
penses. In many other
churches and States Il similar
condition is found.
Trying TO meet expenses that
have increased four-tenths with
an income that has risen only
one-tenth must tend to disturb
the parsons sense of proportion
Considering social demands
that are obligatory upon him,
there are very few outside the
slums who work closer TO the
bread line and have had less
snare in the country's enhanced
prosperity than the country
preacher.
He is, as a class, in the
economically absurd position
of Offering his services Tor what
ever the recipients choose to
give. 1t is notas much 4 sign of
religious decadence as of en-
during human nature that they
don't choose to give very much.
We should not quite like to
see trades union of ministers;
but we do not think it would he
spiritually less savory than the
personal begging, the donation
parties and SO on by which the
church committee seeks to coax
from reluctant pockets enough
money to overcome the perpet
ually threatening salary deficit
