The recent trip of the Mongolia from
San Francisco to Honolulu was inter
csting and notable-notable in that it
carried not only the record list of cabin
passengers (over 250J, but the largest
number ever taken to Honolulu so said
the San Francisco Office. About $50
stopped at Honolulu. Many were re.
turning residents, including consider
able number of students; but large
tourist list accounted for the unusual
influx. Among the Honolulu passengers
are several newcomers (who are always
welcome), who have come to remain.
Mr.. +. T. Dillingham; comes with his
young wife. He is son of Charles T.
Dillingham;, many years ago cashier
with Castle G. Cooke. He joins the
force of scientists employed by the
Planters Association, and fine repu-
tation earned in his line in Massachu-
sets gives promise of useful career
in Honolulu. DIR. V. +. Collins, after
years of good work in South Africa,
comes to settle in Honolulu, bringing
with him knowledge and skill in sur
gerry as well as in medicine. He expects
to join DIR. Humphris. Mr.. and Mrs.
John M. Dowsett return from the Re-
publican National Convention in Chi
cago, bringing their son from school.
Mr.. Klebahn, Hackfeld's genial repre-
sentative of their steamship agencies,
with his wife, will be welcome after
an extended absence. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bissell, Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Kimball,
the L. A. McInernys, the G. +. Peter
sons and others return from short trips.
Among the through passengers, per
haps the most notable is the Hon. VIM.
M. Shuster, a recent addition to the
Philippine Commission, who is return
ing to his post, taking his wife and
family. DIR. Galbraith, who is we'll
known here, is on trip around the
world, accompanied by the multi-mil'
lionaire copper king, Col. w. c. Greene,
and his daughter. A number of very
interesting Philippine young people are
returning from various schools in the
United States, where they have beer
learning, perhaps, something of what
Americanism means, and whether there
is really any future for their little
country. Not so very little, either, fol
their two thousand islands, containing
over $4,000 square miles, support &
population of moro than 100000, will

Mr.. Shuster says. Perhaps not thu
least interesting of those passing
through is Prof. Jesse Woods, who i
on the way to Japan, Shanghai, Hong
kong and Manila to pave the way TO
an "All-American' baseball team
which is to follow in the fall, and SHOW

BAZAAR a SUCCESS.

The bazaar which the ladies
cf the Baptist Church held in
Polly's store, "Wednesday, April
18th. was one Of the most sue
cessful affairs Of the sort ever
given in Big Stone Gap Al
though the day was stormy
and disagreeable, they were
given such liberal patronage
that they took in $137 80. OF
this amount 1888 were paid
for expenses, so they can add
to their treasury $l22-14.
The ladies feel that they are
especially indebted to the Messrs
Polly for the use of their store
and their many different courte-
ISLES with regard to the sale; to
lGoodioe Brothers for donations
of materials, both TO the PLAIN
sewing and fancy work depart
ments: to DIR. Stoehr for his
liberality in the matter of postal
views of the church; to the
firms of Kelly Mann, Bostic and
Martin, for the gifts of fruits,
and TO the ladies Of the Metho
