In all respects Honolulu is a splendid
city 1t is a tropical beauty and it
does business of considerable magni-
tude. 1t has all the features of
modern mainland town of its size. Its
street railway service is excellent. The
streets are fairly well lighted, but as
many business houses are closed at 8
p. IN. and as few of them are open IN
the evening the city at night seems
rather gloomy, except in the japanese
and Chinese sections, where longer
hours are kept. J..

WHAT A RECENT
VISITOR OBSERVED
IN HONOLULU

Andrew j. McWain, editor of the
Batavia IN. W, Daily News, who
spent his honeymoon here, has publish
ed an interesting article on Honolulu
of which the following extracts are
offered:
Honolulu, Hawaii, Jan. 3O.-Before
visitor in Honolulu has been long
in conversation with a resident of the
beautiful city which lies on the shores
of the mighty ocean, fianEcd by varie-
gated mountains, it will be impressed
upon him that Honolulu is the Paradise
of the Pacific. Not only IS it regarded
by loyal Honoluans as the Garden of
Eden of this particular near-tropical
cline, but it is looked upon as the most
attractive spot in the whole world.
Loyalty is the HonOlulan s long suit
and he will not admit, even for the
sake of argument, that anywhere on
the globe there is a place that can
compare with this mid-ocean island of
Oahu. In pamphlet advertising He.
nolulu it is said:
" Nowhere else are such pictures of
sea and sky and plain and mountain;
such magnhcence of landscape, such
bright sunshine and tempering trade
winds; such fragrant foliage, such bril-
liant cOlOrings in bush and tree, such
| dazzling moonlight

fectly good new man at Washburn

frats were rushing him. One Greek

how they were to couch their inquiries
for the kind of a cat they wanted in a
manner that would not shock the sensi-

boy said he didn't know but it was a

some kittens a man would give away.

the older Wright girl automatically.

"Oh!'' said the Wright girls, "of
