London, February 10th-Berlin despatch
es state that the Empe-or and Empress and
many other members of the Royal family
greeted King Edward and Queen Alexandra
at the railway station. The Kaiser and
King Edward kissed repeatedly. At the
Brandenbu'g Gate the Chief Burgomaster
and Municipal Council presented an address,
and King Edward replied that he anticipated
pleasure from his meeting with the Muuici-
pal authorities at the Town Hall tomorrow.
In Inter Den Linden the throngs were more
cordial than had been anticipated and no
where did any counter demonstration take
place, the police ruthlessly suppressing the
unemployed, beatingGthe most violent severe
ly. Some Of the decorations were demolished,
but the demOnstrants did not succeed in
reaching thu royal route. At the state ban
qeot i'll the evening the Kaiser, toasting King
Edward, said Germans greet the ruler of the
mighty British world with respect due to the
perception that his visit pledges future friend
" relations. King Edward, responding, said
that theEmperor had eloqueutly expressed his
feelings, therefore he could only repeat that
his visit reminds the woFtl of the close
ties existing between the Royal Houses
and peoples of Germany and England. al
my endeavours, he added. will be directed
toward strengthening the general peace by
strengthening friendly relations between
Germany and England. King Edward sat
between the Emperor and Empress, Queen
Alexandra upon the Emperor's left, with
Prince Won Bulow opposite, surrounded by
the British suite. The Emperor wore the
uniform Of the British Royal Dragons, King
Edward that of a Russian general both
spoke German and the band of the foot
guards played British and German melodies.
After dinner . reception was held by their
maiosties,at which the Emperor decorated the
members of the British suite and the staff
of the embassy. Many remarked upon Queen
Alexandra's charming and youthful appear

Edwards beoming good humour. "Why,

SOLDIER MAKES A
FAST HOME RUN

w. II. Schowden. a Fort Shafter
soldier, not content with imbibing
the contents of a couple of bottles Of
"Dago red" and feeling the want OF
exercise, took to Indian club stunts
with the dead marines"
All would have been well II w. II.
S. had stuck to legitimate club.swing,
ing, and had not tired OF the game.
Making a target of a Merchant
street building. w. H. yelled PLAY
BALI" and fired a bottle at the wall.
Schowden's luck was out. for at
that moment a policeman tagged him.
In the officers company he made a
home run to the police station. and
this morning was handed over to the
military authorities.
Schowden will be more severely
dealt with by the Fort Shafter peo-
pie than the bottle-throwing episode
could have been treated by the po-
lice. He had outstayed his liberty
leave, and should have been comfort
ably In bed, instead of doing stunts
in the streets.
W. II, Will probably miss the ball
games on Saturday and Sunday and
the motion-picture shows will know
him not for some time.

Champion Jack
Shows At
Orpheum

The news that Jack Johnson, the
heavyweight champion Of the world.
Is coming this way, en- voyage to the
States and England, is the best new :
the local sports have had for some
time.
Johnson will be accompanied BY a
couple OF sparring partners, and Will
probably show in Honolulu the night
the Manuka arrives.
II the Manuka arrives in the morn
Ing, and is scheduled to leave for Van
couver before night, Johnson's mana
ger, Sam Fitzpatrick, will probably
give a matinee performance.
II is not every day one can see a
worlds champion In action, and.
should the show be brought of. there
is no doubt that the house" will be
record one for Honolulu.
Private letters from Australia con-
vey the impression that Hugh Mcln-
tcsh, who refereed the big fight, and
who also holds the rights of the NOV
Ing pictures taken at the champion
ship battle, will be passing through
Honolulu In the near future.
Mcintosh reserved all rights TO the
fight Aims, and intends touring the
world with the pictures.
II he can be induced to unpack his
trunk and produce the real thing
here in Honolulu-say, what sort Of
a crowd would roll up to the show!

Pointed Paragraphs.
From the Chicago New.

Marriage is a eailure-as any spinste,
will tell you.
A little truth goes a long way-if it isn't
stretched.
One thing every woman is willing to
undergo Is a new bennett.
The talkative seamstress occasionally
loses the thread of her discourse.
Some of his Satanic majesty's lieuten-
ants go about handing out free advice.
Money talks, but it doesn't always make
a satisfactory financial statement.
Turn abou isn't fair play when the
peroxide blonde becomes a brunette
again.
A woman's face may be her ~fortune-or
the making of some druggists fortune.
And II you are afraid to ask for what
you want the chances are that some one
will hand you a lemon.
When some people get busy it is always
in connection with something that is none
of their business.
AS a matter of fact your neighbors think
just as disagreeable things about you as
you think about them.

L W OF THE WORLD.
American Road. Doing More Work
Than All of the Others.
From the Philadelphia Inouirer.

From the PhlIadelphia Inquirer.
A recent compilation OF railway sta
tistics OF the world is interesting. Fig
.ures may be twisted to mean almost
anything, but there are some bald facts
which are worth contemplating. The
railway mileage Of the world is dis
tributed as follows: United States.
$4,000 miles; elsewhere. $4,000 miles.
But the railways of British India are in
q class by themselves. and II they be
eliminated, this country has more
mileage than the rest of the world.
The cost Of constructing our portion
Is fixed at a little less than $13, 600. O00,-
600. and II the rest of the world almost
S26. 600. 900. 900. so that the average cost
in this country Is one-half that OF the
counted for by better construction in
Europe. larger cost OF r~ight-of-waY
terminals, and the like, but it Is, new
'ertheless, claimed that by a Just com
iparison with results. we get our roads
much cheaper according to money
earning power is nearly as great as
that OF the roads of the rest of the
world, in spite of the fact that we have
about one-fifth of the population OF all
the other countries, not including In
.dla. Our receipts each year are less
than $500. 900. 900, and for the rest OF
the rest OF h world inexcess OF ST.
800, O0O. 900.
Our operating expenses are proper
itionately greater. being over 81 per
cent Of receipts. compared with Less
than GA. We carry about one-sixth as
many passengers as the rest of the
world, but-and here is the astonishing
fact-we carry almost as many tons
OF freight as all Of the rest OF the
world put together. While In ton mile
age we have far the best Of it. We maui
a ton OF freight an average of 1872 miles.
While the rest of the world carries a
ton but 6S miles. In other words. u
railways are doing much more work
than all the rest Of the world together,
almost twice as much in the matter OF
freight, yet u receipts are not so
large.
The inference is obvious that we
charge only about half as much for
hauling a ton of freight a mile as does
the rest of the world. Our average
charge Is just Y of a cent for such
service, a cost which Is infnitesimal
as compared with any other means of
a transportation. Ten years from
now 1t is evident that we shall be do
Ing much more than half the traffic OF
the world. AS the population Increase
es, and business develops, we shall
more strikingly dominate the TRANSPORT
tation world. They may do some
things better In Europe, but at present
we conduct our railways in a manner
such as to admit Of contrast rather
than comparison.

Some Of the West India islanders

ever. recently took occasion to pay of
old scores and to redeem his self re-

before him.. To the first question as
to the nationality of the accused, the
interpreter had answered that the pris-
oner was from Switzerland.
Switzerland" sa&d the judge, and
Switzerland has no sea coast, has it?'
"No sea cosat, you honor sail the

Church treasures in the Kremlin.
From the London Globe.

The ikons in the Cathedral Of the AS

are immensely valuable. They Welded
about five tons of silver and five hun
dredweight of gold to the French SOL
diery in 1872. but this treasure was
recovered by the Cossacks, who in their
gratitude presented to the cathedral a
silver chandelier Weighing 900 pounds
me jewels with which the ikonostas is
adorned are valued at g25, 600. a single
emerald being worth 100000.
Ihere is a bible SO large that two
men are needed to lift it, and It is
studded with gold and emeralds and
other stones. A sober estimate of the
weight of gold used in the ikonostas
and vessels Of this famous church alone
places it at LOG hundredweieht.
