General Manager of the Oriental
Brewing Company, Erecting Brew
cry in Hongkong With Local Capital.
-SSk,-s2&~S2&>s29,4s2K,-
The foundations of the buildings have
already been completed and the work
on the structures themselves is going
on rapidly. The machinery has already
been shipped from the East and will
soon be on the ground. The buildings
will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
and the machinery which has been con-
tracted for will cost SOL, 900.
1.-The building contract was let to
Chinese and is being hurried along so
that Mr.. Hooking expects to be able
to have beer ready for sale by January
of next year. The ice machinery will
be completed and ready for use in
October of this year and of course that
will be a big part of the business.
1.-The work is, of course, of a good
deal of interest in this city on account
of the fact that of the $250, 900 capital
stock, 100000 is from Honolulu. The
other $4,000 worth of stock has not yet
been issued, but will probably be taken
up in Hongkong as soon as the brewery
is in working order. All the plans
made have been easily carried out
1.-THE ice machinery has been shipped
from York, Pennsylvania, where it was
manufactured and the copper work for
the brewery from Chicago. In the
cooperage work there will be something
new, that has never before been seen
in the Orient. Instead of the use of
wooden tanks such as we have here
glass enameled tanks will be put in.
They are cleaner and better, though
the cost is considerably more.
MIR. Hooking does not expect to re-
turn to this city for two or three years.
He says that he likes Hongkong very
much indeed and finds that the cost
of labor there is very cheap. From
what he says I should think that the
business would be a great success"

WHITE LABOR FOR HAWAII
A Measure to Enable the Terri
tory to Secure It.

The Chronicle: The immigration
Committee of the House of Represen-
tatives is said to be unanimous in
recommending the passage of a bill to
permit the Legislature OF Hawaii, dur
ing the next six years, to assist the
importation of white immigrants into
the Territory. Such a recommendation
may be assumed to assure the passage
of the bill through the House, and we
suppose that no great opposition need
be expected in the Senate.
Assisted immigrants are assisted i'm
migrants, whether the assistance be
given by private persons or from the
public treasury. Where there is direct
steamship service between densely
populated countries and those in need
of labor no assistance seems to, be re-
quired. If the possible volume of busi-
ness is large enough to make it paw
the steamship companies will drum up
the. immigrants. The steamers would
bring an abundance of Oriental labor
to Hawaii. but that is being cut off.
1t is certain that neither American
labor nor foreign labor legally domf-
ciled in the United States will forsake
the opportunities open to them in a
country of continental size and ex-
tremely varied climate and resources
for work in the tropics in the single
industry of sugar planting in compe-
tition with Orientals. Any adequate
supply of white or any other labor for
Hawaii from this continent is impos-
sible, and experience has proved that
without assistance European white
labor will not undertake the long voy-
age from Europe to Hawaii in the face
of the active competition of steamships
engaged in the Atlantic trade and the
attraction of compatriots already
settled in Eastern America It is ex-
pected that with the opening of the
isthmian canal these conditions will
change and that direct steamship lines
will encourage European immigration
to this Coast, in which case Hawaii
would get its share. That, however,
is for the future.
For the present the alternatives seem
to be these-the restriction of the Ha- |
waiian sugar output to the quantity

turn your eyes upon the greatest active
crater in the world-a great cavity in
the earth's surface over four square
miles in area and perhaps nine hundred
feet deep with jagged rocky edges, in
the floor of which is the lake of molten
into the sky a continuous column of
smoke. Vapor is constantly issuing
from wide assures for miles around the
crater. In most cases the tourist is
at first a little awe-strieken, but very
soon curiosity and wonder predomi-
nate, and the visitors, men and wo-
men alike, are to be found down at
the lake dipping up the molten lava
and molding it, as it cools, into vases
and other shapes, as much at home as
children would be playing mud-pies in
their own back yard. There is absolute
ly little or no danger, and no one so
far as is known, has ever been injured
either visiting the crater or living on
the spot. Tourists are therefore as safe
sleeping in the Volcano House as thew
would be in the city of New YORK;

MATTHEW Is.

10 Now when Jesus came into the
parts of Caesarea Philippi. he asked
his disciples, saying, Who do men say
that the Son of man is? IA And they
said, Some say John the Baptist;
some, Elijah; and others, jeremiah, or
one of the prophets. Is He saith unto
them, But who say we that l am? IS
And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou are the Christ, the Son of the
living God. II And Jesus answered
and said unto him, Blessed art thou,
Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood
hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father who is in heaven. IS And
I also say unto thee, that thou art
Peter. and upon this rock I will build
shall not prevail against it. 10 will
give unto thee the keys of the king
dom of heaven: and whatsoever thou
shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
loose ON earth shall be loosed in
heaven. 20 Then charged he the dis
ciples that they should tell no man
that he was the Christ.
q From that time began Jesus to
show unto his disciples, that he must
go unto Jerusalem. and suffer many
things of the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be killed, and the
third day be raised up. % And Peter
took him, and began to rebuke him,
saying. Be il far from thee. Lord: this
shall never be unto thee. % But he
turned, and said unto Peter. Get thee
behind me, Satan: thou art STUN
bling-block unto me: for thou mindest
not the things of God, but the things
of men. a Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man would come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me. % For who
soever would save his life shall lose
it: and whosoever shall lose his life
for my sake shall find it. % For what

gain the whole world, and forfeit his

CHRONIC,
STOMACH
TROUBLE
Cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills After Sufferer Had
Doctored for Years
in Vain.

The tonic treatment for indigestion
is having remarkable success in curing
obstinate cases of that distressing NAL
ady and deserves attention from every
sufferer. It's principle is that remedies
for indigestion that digest the food for
the stomach give relief for only short
time. Ultimately they unfit the stom-
aeh to do its own proper work, because
they make its already weak power still
weaker by disuse, while the remedy that
strengthens the stomach makes it more
and more capable of digesting the food
for itself and this benefit lasts. A rem
edy that IS tonic not only for the
stomach but for the blood and nerves
as well, invigorates the entire system
and makes recovery from the weaken
ing effects of indigestion rapid and
thorough.
Miss Cynthia Hart, of 41S E. Null
berry street, Lebanon, Ohio, says: u

several years and found no relief in
doctors or other medicines. Ny APP

which can be produced by continu-
ally diminishing force of Orientals,
with continually increasing hateful
ness of the Orientals as the planters
get more and more into their power
on the one hand, and on the other
hand some such relief as is proposed
in the bill which the House committee
will report. If the former plan is adj
hered to the probability is that it will
involve the bankruptcy of the weaker
plantations, which cannot afford to
run except with a full force. We are
therefore confronted with a condition
to which our continental policy cannot
be applied without disaster to Hawai-
ian interests We must, apparently,
either permit that disaster or allow
the proposed relief. If we give the
relief we shall help to crowd out the
Orieutals. If we do not give it we
shall assure their monopoly of labor
in Hawaii and of the trade which labor
patronizes. The expiration of the per-
nit is timed to correspond with the
probable date of opening the isthmian
canal.

Ninety eight per cent of the adult naale population of Samson attended the .offical mass meeting at the Academy on Friday night last. and in addition to these, there were many men from the sur rounding country as silent spectators.

When Mir Beall assumed the chair he called upon Rev E Nj: Hunter who effered brief and befitting and for. unity The meeting then pro- ceeded to ballot for nomination for mayor and councilmen.
