ARTIST GEORGE HART
At PRESENT IN PARIS

George Hart, the Honolulu sign
Europe year or SO ago, writes friend
here from Meulan, near Paris. He
states that he has gone into retirement
at Meulan in order to break away
from the crowd of American good fell
lows whom he encountered in gay
Paree and whose propinquity interfer-
ed with his study of painting.
Hart writes that he is doing some
portraits and landscapes and expects
to have an exhibition in New York
on his return to America He spent
some time in Germany studying the old
masters and believes that he has made
rapid improvement in his art.
~ like the modern art, f" says he;
cit is so refreshing to look at after
looking at some of the antiques. / will
take Zoin or a Sargent for mine and
think them just as great as some of the
old boys
One thing in France which earns his
particular favor is the cooking and
the lack of hurry about meals. He
pines for the Hawaiian delicacies, how
ever, and yearns for lobster, mullet,
breadfruit, pig baked in stone oven
and washed down with the nectar of
the ti-root, and the laughter and music
of the island boys and girls.

MERCHANTS
To CURTAIL CREDITS

japanese wholesale merchants in
Honolulu are revising their credit svs-
tenn. At meeting of the japanese
Merchants Association, held a few
DAYS ago, a committee on this subject
was appointed which met on Saturday
and formulated a plan.
Hitherto it has been customary to
make settlements, in some eases semi
annually and in others quarterly, while
it was known that the white merchants
did not give such long credits. 1t was
decided by the committee to recon-
mend that monthly payments be i'm
posed.
A good deal of hardship has been
sustained by japanese wholesale
houses through their having to wait
three months for the payment of their
bills. In the item of japanese rice for
instance, it has always been bought for
cash and, besides the price, the i'm
porter had duties and other charges to
pay. The dealers in this article, there
fore, concluded they could not wait
from one to three or six months for
settlements and announced that sales
of rice should be made only on a basis
of spot cash or negotiable promissory
notes. Their example is now to be fol-
lowed by the Japanese wholesale trade
in general, which is to have a credit
system henceforth on par with that
of the white wholesalers.

Passing of IT. M. Hopper.

Died at his home in Denver,
Colorado, February 18, 1908 Mr..
Howard M. Hopper, aged AZ
years, 8 months, six days.
The news startled many per-
sons here, who had not even
known of his sickness. Mrs. Hop
per, accompanied by Samuel A.
Wallace, also of Denver, arrived
with the remains Saturday eve
ming and the funeral services
were conducted by Rev. G. w.
Monson at the home of the dead
mans parents, Mr.. III. B. Hopper
and wife, south east of town,
Sunday afternoon at two.
Howard has been sick for some
time but his indomitable energy
kept him from giving up and
going to bed For three weeks,
however, he had been confined
pretty close to his house and a
week before was very near to
death, but was resuscitated by
hard effort
On Tuesday he had been about
the premises. Coming in he an
nounced to his wife and a caller
that he would lie down. Remov-
ing his coat and shoes, he lay
down on the couch and passed
away without uttering another
word He had Bright's disease,
died of uraemic poison
Howard was born June II,
1865 on the old home farm near
town and there grew to manhood.
On February 27, 1896 he married
Miss. frankie Beall who survives
him with parents, brother Chat,
of Stamford, Neb., sisters Mrs.
Chas Chapman living between
Clayton and Timewell and Miss.
Addie Hopper.
After leaving Clayton seven
years ago they lived two years in
! Nebraska then went to Denver.
Howard conducted business of
contracting in wrecking and ex-
cavating and employed a little
army of men. His pay roll was
at times as high as seven hun
dred dollars a week. He was a
bundle of energy and worked
/ beyond his strength at times.
The interment was in the Howes
burying ground. Clayton (In-)

Death of w S. Meaa.

Wesley S. Mead died at the
residence of L. Tatman last Sun
day morning Funeral services
were held at the Methodist
church Monday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. William Knott of
Hill City.
Mr.. Mead was native of New
York state. He came to Wa
Keeney from Iowa in 1878. He
Immediately engaged in the live
ry, feed and sale business and so
continued up to 1900. A few
months after selling out his bus
mess he was stricken with paral-
ysis and this was the beginning
of the trouble which ended in his
death at the almost exact age of
y years. So far as known, one
brother, Amos Mead of Chicago,
is the only near relative living.
At one time Mr.. Mead was pos
sessed of considerable means but
most of this was lost through ill
advised investments during the
years of his Semi-invalidism, and
impaired business acumen. AL
though his care and keeping was
a matter of public concern, he
was not public charge, having
made arrangements with the au
thOritieS to use the remnant of
his property to that end. Dur
ing the past three years he has
been cared for by Mr.. Tatman
and wife, very trying-task and
well rendered service which en-

given decent burial, BETTING a
well known pioneer. Although
at one time his own worst enemy,
he had part in the develope-
ment of the new community, and
the Affections Of his later years
wrought in him a great change.
Humble and harmless he has
gone to his reward. It is we'll

SUFFRAGE FOR THE DISTRICT.
Civic Association Committee Has a
Plan for Consideration.

The executive committee of the Civic
Betterment Association at its meeting yes
terday afternoon decided to submit to the
proposed citizens convention to be called
for the purpose of considering the matter
Of suffrage for the District plan for a
popular form of government The plan
proposes that a council of five members
member from the northwest, one from the
east, the northeast and another from the
county.
That the five representatives shall form
what will be known as 1.-The District of
Columbia council One member of the
council shall be elected by his associates
as president of the council. He shall also
be known as the governor of the District
and shall perform all the executive work
usually performed by a governor of a
territory, subject to the approval Of the
four other members of the council.
1t was said that this form of govern
ment will be simple and popular. That
there will be an absence Of conflicting
opinions such as is found in city councils
where there are a large number Of men,
bers. Also that 1t will not be much more
costly than the present triumvirate Of
Commissioners and far more satisfactory,
according to the executive committeeman
of the Betterment Association.
It Is said that other proposed forms of
District government will be presented to
the proposed meeting of presidents Of citi-
Zens' associations, members of the Board
of Trade. Chamber Of Commerce and kim
dred associations.

ed stolen goods. The colored man was
arrested In Alexandria county in con-
nection with the robbery of the house Of

erty, but the county authorities promise
