BUSINESS CARDS.
GIRLS OF HAWAII
PROVE CIVILIZATION
Of THE ISLANDS
By viii ]. Cooper. .

SEATTLE, Washington, June 25.-
Hawaii's half dozen of fair daughters
who are doing the honors for the Ter
ritory at the exposition are having
some varied and interesting expert
enees, such as probably no other girls
from the Islands ever had. They are
u constant source of interest to the
hundreds of visitors, and they are
daily called upon to answer most va
ried assortment of questions, some of
which are extremely amusing. Dozens
of persons express surprise that they
are able to speak English, and often
want to know how they learned it, and
if they fouhd it difficult; all of which
is much fun for the whole party.
The other day middle-aged man,
apparently welltodo farmer, carry
ing a hand -satchel and chewing on the
end of a match, sanntered about
through the building for while, evi.
IDENTIFY much interested in everything
he saw, but making no audible com
ment He then disappeared for about
five minutes, when he returned in COM
pany with woman, evidently his wife.
The two spent about an hour in looking
ever the various exhibits, and then, ap.
preaching Miss Pauline Evans, the man
expressed himself something as fol
lows:
tYou folks have got a fine show
here. But d'you know, | was afraid
of it at first Yon see I've seen the
Chicago exposition, and the Buffalo
show, and the one AT st. Louis, and |
saw the Hawaiian exhibit at all those
places. That IS why j came in here
this morning without my wife, for
was ashamed TO have her see those
half-dressed savages, that lived on
dogs, that / saw in the other shows.
This isn't anything like the Hawaiian
shows l saw before; but it IS all right,
and l I'M glad 10 have my wife see it.
You people must be getting quite civ.
ilized over there
Several days before the Hawaiian
girls arrived, Special Agent Lloyd
Childs was waited upon by number
of young "co-eds" of the Washington
State University, who wanted positions
for the season in the Hawaii building,
Mr.. Childs explained that the girls
from Hawaii were due to arrive within
few days, and that he would not be
able to employ any more help for the
time being.
80, but we thought that you would
want some girls who speak English
aud not that South Sea lingo" wa,
the rejoinder.
"Why, our girls speak English, 4" ex
planned Childs, "and speak ii even bet
ter than you, for they don't us,

sHERIDAN's ROUGH TRIP
Continued From Page ONE,

The transports wireless was working
well with almost every place but Homo
lulu. While they could 50 hear Homo
lulu far to the westward, apparently
nothing could be heard from the trans
port until Saturday. The wireless
wizard aboard the troopship kept in
touch with Nagasaki until the meridian
was reached, when he endeavored to
keep up the communication with Ka-
huku, but to no purpose. Communica-
ton was maintained for 2400 miles out
of Nagasaki. The day the troopship
dropped Nagasaki they received signals
which came from the S. 5. Alameda
when she was $50 miles east of Homo
lulu. Quartermaster Clerk Dougherty
states that the Alameda wireless man
told the transport people that he ex-
pected to get some wireless press news
from Honolulu that night and would
transmit il To the Sheridan, but some
thing must have happened somewhere
along the air line for the press messages
or even signals failed to materialize af-
terWard. But the remarkable thing of
it all is that the communication was
taken up almost across the broad Pa
cific--at least from long way to the
eastward of the meridian 10 a long way
TO he west of It.
As far as known the vessel will not
leave for San Francisco until after Q

CHINESE DRESS REFORMS!

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, December 15 1909.
There is CONSERVATION among the Chi

prince regent that he will endeavor to
bring about change in the national Co.'S
tune next year, besides advocating the
abolition of the pigtail. To show that he
is in earnest the prince regent has him.
self started to wear a military uniform
when receiving foreign ministers at Pc
king.
The abolition of the pigtail meets with
far less popular opposition than the adop-
ton Of European costumes The anti-pig-
tail party argues that this characteristic
appendage Is insanitary, that it Is an OBJ
ject of derision among foreigners and that
1t is not in keeping with modern senti-
ment, marking as 1t does the servtude of
China to the Manchu. But the prince re-
gent has more effective argument for
Chinese minds when he recalls that the
late emperor was in favor of this reform
and respect for the wishes of the dead
carries greater weight than cold reason
among his countrymen.
The princes ambition to bring about a
change in national costume naturally
arouses opposition among the silk and
linen manufacturers and merchants, to
whom 1t would mean serious loss.

WITH MERCY
PLAN TO REFORM THE GERMAN
CRIMINAL CODE.
Notifications Proposed That Will
Give Convicts q Chance to
Regain Honor.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


LONDON, December, l., 1909.
Imprisonment without dishonor. fines
payable in installments and the rehabili-
tation Of offenders are the leading fea-
lures of project for the reform of the
German criminal code. the result of four
years labor by a commission OF experts.
Most of the notifications are in the
direction of giving judges very wide dis
erection in the inf1iction of punishment
In special cases judges are allowed to
reduce the minimum legal punishment
and even in some cases infiict no punish
ment at all. Similarly. in more than
usually serious cases the legal forms of
punishment may be exceeded
Imprisonment i'm fortresses is to be
s.--,erseded by new decree of ''imprison-
-, without dishonor." In regard to
murder the present punishment is death,
but it is now laid down that where there
are extenuating circumstances the Of
fender may get off with not less than ten
years penal Seryitude. Murder out of
jealousy and other forms of murder
which do not spring from Infamous mo-
tives are also to be punished by penal
Servitude.
The proposal to introduce fiogging into
the code is rejected on the ground that
rational feeling is against it. The system
of fines for slight offenses is radically
changed. The courts are to be allowed
ment, to accept payment in installments-
the last OF which must be paid within
year of conviction--or to allow the fine to
be worked off by free labor.

Of millions where a few years ago To
hay was raised at all. The corn crop
shows similar increase. They are ex-
porting corn from Louisiana for the
first time this year.
Big crops and big prices have filled
the south with money. Mortgages are
being lifted. debts are being paid; the
planters are buying their release from
the commission men who formerly held
mortgages on their crops to secure
money advanced to cultivate them
They are living better, wearing better
clothes, eating better food and taking
greater interest in life Among the
poorer farmers great Improvement
has been noticed. They are whitewash-
ing their houses planting shrubs and
flowers, making gardens where they
raise fresh vegetables all the year
around instead of eating canned STUFF
from the stores. And they are even
putting money in the bank.
Colored Farmers Saving Money.
The colored farmers are saving
their money and are buying little
patches of ground instead of renting.
They are fixing up their cabins to make
their families more comfortable and
building new ones. There was never
such a demand for lumber in the his
tory of the south to build new houses
and barns.
'On the big plantations they are cry
ing for more labor. and the legislatures
of all the southern states are seeking
immigrants because only small part
of the area is under cultivation, and If
they could get labor more would be
cultivated. But what is wanted in the
south above all else is more independ-
ent farmers to buy land and grow cot
