the future financial situation in the
country should the prohibition wave be

He began by stating that before the
panic of 1907 swept the country, the
United States had s25O,0OO,OOO in

was placed into the banks to tide them
over the crisis.
Now, the situation is reversed and
the United States is losing money at
the rate Of 100000 day. The receipts
had fallen down because the imports
had decreased, and principally because
the prohibition movement had crushed
the Internal Revenue from the South
to degree that was notable aud dang

FOODS, FORESTS
and OUR Diet
Valuable Lectures Al
College Last
Night

Two of the most interesting lee
lures of the course were given at the
College last evening. r. S. HosmeI
spoke on the Forests of Hawaii" and
Miss Agnes Hunt on Foods and
Diet"
Mr.. Hosmer placed special empha-
sis upon forestry as being an econom-
lie necessity, the best use TO which
the land can be put and rs a finan-
cial investment In which direct re-
turns are made In wood lumber, ana
railroad ties. lie stated that the for.
ests of Hawaii were less In area by
many thousands of acres than they
were fifty years ago. Not only has
there been great slaughter for com
mercial purposes, but stock on some
of the ranches has destroyed the for
est floor of much valuable forest
land. With several maps upon the
wall he showed the location of the
forest reserves and explained the
economic value of each.
The forests of Hawaii are OF three
distinct classes which are more or
less marked by zones Of elevation, OF
an economic classification will di-
vide them into two classes. water
bearing forests and forests for the
production of wood and timber. The
water-bearing forests are the most
important, as they are protection fol
ests. Right here attention was call
ed again to the forest reserves on
Maui. Koa, which is largely used
in Notwithstanding, and ohia. used
for railroad ties, are rapidly disap-
pearing from the commercial forest
areas. Koa will reproduce quickly
IL stock are kept out. 0hia is slower
In reproduction. A typical Hawaii.
an forest is the koa, which is found
at IN elevation OF $500 to 5000 feet
in the windy districts. Attention
was called to the reorganization OF
the Forestry Department in 1898 ana
how It is now engaged. II is estima-
ted that with the help OF private in
dividuals there were about one-half
million trees planted last year. To
further aid the work. a herbarlum OF
the island fora is being made. Ian
tern slides were used to Illustrate
many points brought out In the lee
ture.
Miss Hunt gave valuable discus
/ ginn nm sE'nn1 and Mat - Che Iualt
upon the value of a chemical knowl-
edge of foodstuffs which would en-
able one to choose his food material
Understandings. and avoid the over
work In organs which keep a balance
In the system. A diet composed
largely of protein made extra work
for the kidneys. A properly balanC-
ed diet, taken In accordance with
the needs, is essential TO the welfare
of anyone. The standards In diet af
worked out by Volt. AIwater, and
Chittenden were discussed and spe.
lcial mention was given TO Chitten.
denis since he believes that the aver
age man should eat foods containinr
one-half to one-third less protein
than is prescribed In the Standards OF
Volt and Atwater. Some interesting
information concerning the inmates
of some of the public institutions was
placed upon the board for study and
discussion. The lecture wns very In
teresting and much appreciated b.
all those who attended.

An able and good man, who was a

public and to American manhood.
passed away in the death of Gen. Will
liam ]. Palmer, at his home in Colorado
Springs, March 13. Gen. Palmer
achieved high reputation by his cour-
age and enterprise as a leader in the
cavalry operations in the Department
of the Cumberland. He went out in
1861 as Captain in the 18th Pa. Cav,
rose to be Colonel of the regiment, COM
manded it during its long, hard and
brilliant service, and was mustered out
June 21, 1865. After his discharge he
went West, engaged in many enter
prises in Colorado, particularly of rail-
road building, attained great success
and wealth estimated at $4,000, 900.
Colorado Springs, with all its beauty
and attractiveness, is an enduring mon-
ument to his sagacity and farseeing.
He retained to the last a vivid interest
in the comrades of his old regiment.
A devoted horseman, a few years ago
he was thrown while riding with his
daughters, and sustained an injury to
the spine. Since then he languished on
a bed of pain, but fabulous amounts
were spent to obtain the services of the
best specialists in Europe and America
and to make his surroundings as COM
Portable as possible. Two or three years

ed by Brig.-Gen. Walter Q. Gresham,
afterward a member of Arthur's and
Clevelands Cabinets, and prominent
candidate for the Presidency on the
Republican ticket. The brigades were

The last stage of the journey from De-

under an inCessant rain, which made
the mountain trails exceedingly diff
cult and the valley streams almost i'm
passable. From Rome The corps moved
across the country to take its place
with the Army OF the Tennessee.
The Seventeenth Corps was a strong
accession, not only from its numbers,
but from the character of the corps, its
commander and subordinate officers
The commander was Maj.-Gen. Francis
P. Blair, man who in junction with
Lyon had wTested Missouri from the
Confederates, and, defeating their most
skilful Vaccinations, held it fast to the
Union. Francis p. Blair was a man of
extraordinary ability in many respects,
fine orator, an able writer, of high
executive ability and a courage of the
first order. He had shown his quali-
ties as a leader in command of diyi-
sion, then Of n corps in the operations
around Ficksburg.
The Seventeenth Corps had been
trained and disciplined into a mighty
engine OF war by Mcpherson himself,
and Blair succeeded to the command

command of the Army of the Tennes-

Denominations Of war Bonds.

Editor National Tribune: Please state
the amount of bonds issued by the Gov
ernment during the war. 1 think there
were four different denominations and
different rates of Interest,". F. Ross,
Rodgers, Ark.
In its stress for money the Govern
ment issued quite a variety of bonds
with varying rates of interest. These
ranged all the way from five per cent to
seven and three-tenths per cent. What
is still more important than the rate of
interest was that the Government for
much the larger proportion of the bonds
took greenbacks in exchange. which va
ried in gold value from SO cents up to
rs cents on the dollar. As it paid this
interest in gold, this made the interest
run up as high as II per cent or even
Is per cent. For example, if it sold a

Editor National Tribune: Please give

Art, and greatly oblige-Daniel HAIRY,
1416 Stevens avenue, Louisville, KY.
At the beginning of the war Battery
L, 1st U. S. Art, was with Batteries F
and K in garrison at Eagle Pass, Tex.
They narrowly escaped being included
in Twiggss surrender, but succeeded in
making their way to Brownsville,
whence they embarked for the North,
and arrived in loyal territory in March,
1861. Battery L was assigned to the
Department of the Gulf, and was promi-
nent in its operations, especially at Port
Hudson. 1t was then under the COM
mand of Capt. Henry w. Closson, who
also commanded the artillery reserve,
with First Lieut.. Franck e. Taylor in
command of the battery. 1t was armed
with four Napoleon brass pieces and two
1O-pound PARROTS. Lieut.. James A.
Sanderson was also in command of the
battery at times. 1t came North with
the Nineteenth Corps, and took part in
the Shenandoah campaign, where it was
brigaded with the horse artillery. Bat
terry K was consolidated with it, and the
two were under the command of Lieut..
