men with the licenses commission this
afternoon. A number of the prominent

ing by Treasurer Campbell, who is the
secretary of the commission, to appear
before that body this afternoon and
give their views, relative to various
regulations of the liquor business. The
meeting is not a general one but is
restricted to few men who were spe-
cially invited.
1t is the intention of the commission
to have a general expression of views

best to limit the number at any one
conference and extend the conferences
over several days.

MEETS TODAY
PRESIDENT PINKHAM WILL PRE-
SENT SEVERAL MATTERS OF
IMPORTANCE THIS AFTERNOON.

There will be a meeting of the board
of health at 8 O'Clock this afternoon.
1t is likely that the meeting will be
quite an interesting session.
President Pinkham will present to
the board for their consideration, his
ideas for a central washhouse. The
Chinese and other wash men have to
leave the government wash house at
Iwilei. President Pinkham is strongly
in favor of keeping the washing Sc
gregated. He will outline his ideas
on this matter subject to the approval
of the board. He thinks that he will
be able to secure capital to construct
such a wash house as he favors one
that will be under the control Of the
board of health.
President Pinkham will also presen;
his plans for the improvements OF
the Kalihi receiving station. He pre-
pared the plans some time ago, and
will discuss them with the board.
Other matters may come up for dis

The United States Agricultural Ex-

bulletin on the culture of tobacco in
the Territory of Hawaii, which has
been sent on to washington for APP

will give the results of a series of ex-

and will report as a result OF those
experiments, that tobacco growing
should be one of the profitable indus

NO MAIL
BROUGHT
BY SIERRA
SIX DAYS MAIL HELD UP FOR S.
S. MONGOLIA NOT DUE TILL TO.
MORROW.

For the first time in her history the
Oceanic steamship Sierra arrived today
without any mail. She docked at the
Oceanic wharf at 1915 o'clock this
morning, days, 21 hours and 40 min
utes from San Francisco.
A roar went up around town when 1t
was learned that no mail had been
brought from the mainland There
should have been six days accumulat-
ed mail and yet the San Francisco post
Office withheld from the Oceanic boat
the mail that was due. Business men
are trying to account for the idiocy o.
the mail authorities of the coast port.
1t was fully expected, there was indeed
every reason to expect that mail would
be brought by the Sierra and had 1t ar
rived return letters could have been
sent out in the S. S. Aorangi leaving
for Vancouver at 4 o'clock this after
noon.
1t was stated aboard the Sierra that
the mail, for some unaccountable rea-
son, had been held at San Francisco
for the P. NJ. S. S. Mongolia which
is not due here until tomorrow.
Why six days mail several hundred
sacks of mail matter, should deliberate-
ly be held back from "a to S6 hours is
beyond local comprehension.
The Sierra brought SO passengers
from San Francisco, nearly three times
the number she brought down on the
previous local run.
Cargo for this port consists of 1,07O
tons of miscellaneous goods. She sail
ed from San Francisco on May 90 at
I'LL a. m. Fine weather was enjoyed
throughout the voyage.
Among her passengers was v. B.
Furniss, Sheriff of Hastings, Michigan
who comes to take w. D. Clarke back
with him on a charge of forgery.
The Sierra sails for San Francisco on
Monday next with large number of
passengers whose names appear else
where.

President
Jordan In
Australia
DISTINGUISHED AMERICAN EDU-
GATOR EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS
ON EDUCATION.

The Sydney Morning Herald of May
10, contains an interesting article con-
cerning DR.. David Starr Jordan, who is
at present in Australia on a lecturing
tour and for scientific purposes. The
article gives brief sketch of the life
of the distinguished president Of the
Stanford University and continues:
Universities in Australia are doing
their work under conditions more close
ly resembling those of the United States
and Canada than those which obtain in
the older countries. The United States
pared with ourselves, not only of being
in closer touch with European methods,
but of having had longer practical ex-
perience of how best to adapt European
methods to the needs of a repidly grow
ing population, often somewhat sparse
ly distributed over wide areas.
"A few quotations from some of Or.
Jordan's addresses may give a hint as
to his views on the subject of education
in relation to democracy, etc. He says:
There can never be too many educat-
ed men if by education we mean train
ing along the lines of possible indivi-
dual success. Democracy does not
mean equality a dead level of posi-
tion, happiness, or achievement-it
means equality before the law, that is,
the abolition of distinctions made in
the dark ages. 1t means equality of
start, never equality Of finish, and the
most absolute equality of start makes
the final inequality the greater. The
best subjects for any man to study are
those best fitted for his own Individual
development, those which help to make
the actual most of him and his life. De-
mocracy of intellect does not mean
equality of brains, still less indifference
as to their quality. 1t means fair play
in the schedule of studies. 1t means
the development of fit courses of study
mot traditional ones), of a tailor-made
curriculum for each man, instead of a
'hand-me-down article, misftting all
alike

America as a great champion of what
is called the elective system of study

dence, is a relative of Lorrin Thurston
of this city.
Furniss has never before been out
of sight of land. He is delighted with
Honolulu and is stopping at the New
Era on Fort street until the Sierra
sails. Clarke will continue to lodge in
the police station until the boat de-
| parts.
Sheriff Furniss says there is moth

The mysterious cards of the Count

when strangers of suspicious charac-

which acted as passports, and were
also intended to give information con-
corning the bearer without his knowl-
edge.

the nationality of the man who car

card. A fillet around the border of the
card told whether he was bachelor,

formation as to his position and for
time, and the expression of his face
mas shown by a decorative flower.

The Great Dustard.

The great bustard (Otis tarda) bird
still found in the southern provinces Of
Russia, is the heaviest European fowl.
In size it exceeds the Norwegian black
cock. The old males attain weight of
thirty-five pounds, and where food Is
plentiful specimens weighing thirty
eight pounds and even forty pounds
have been captured. These birds have
disappeared from western Europe,
where once they were almost as numer-
Gus as cartridges, and are seen only in
small flocks in the sand hills skirting
the lower valley of the Dnieper and
here and there along the north coast of
the Caspian. The hen lays eggs as big
as ordinary pears. A larger and heav-
Ter bird, the cassowary, is incapable of
flight, but it can kick with the
strength of mule and uses the sharp,
bony quilts of it's wings as a cock uses
