letter from j. r. Gilbreath, who
with his wife is making a tour OF the
world, written to his father Commits
sioner Gilbreath, gives some inter-
esting particulars with reference TO
the trip. The following extrac.s
from a recent descriptive letter Will
be found interesting to readers:
The Cleveland on which we are
making a tour around the world IS
the largest passenger boat that ever
locked in San Francisco. where IL
attracted a great deal of attention.
You can gather some idea OF it's size
when you compare it with city blocks
1t is over two blocks long and mas
ten decks, which would make all told
over twenty blocks and although l
have made many trips over the dif-
ferent decks I am continually discov-
ering new things and new faces. We
are carrying about eight hundred
passengers, who have been gathered
from every state in the union. North
Dakota is well represented, having
nine representatives. The passen-
gers are composed of nearly every
profession and walk of life. Doctors
seem to be in the majority, college
professors ana preachers close Sec
ond, while the others represent near
" every line of business. Our crew
consists of over five hundred, max
ing a little city of over 1900 people.
One would naturally think that We
would have considerable leisure time
on our hands, but such is not the
case. In the morning the bugle calls
us to rise at Z o'clock. Breakfast is
served at a quarter to eight. After
which we go on deck or the various
smoking or card rooms and from ten
to eleven band concert is given, al
ter which bouillon is served in cups
with waters and pretze1s. At twelve
o'clock we are called to lunch, where
a menu is served that would do jus
tice to a dinner in a large sized no.

gowns and diamonds are very mag

of less than eight courses, served
while one of the best orchestras
have ever heard, plays lengthy pro-
gram.
Every evening some entertainment
or lecture is provided for us, which
are entertaining ana sociable. Dir
ferent clubs have been formed and
nearly every afternoon something
also takes place. The boat is fitted
out with a splendid gymnasium
where all sorts of exercise can be
had. Some very novel-such as rid

baths in salt water, with plenty OF It.
It is not necessary to rub much to
dry oneself as the salt in the water
seems to evaporate. The boat is
lighted with electricity and supplied
with electric fans, has a complete
printing Office; two dark rooms for
developing pictures, an elevator an :
being entirely new is most modern.
Our staterooms besides the two
berths contains a davenport, two
wardrobes, two washstands and
other conveniences which make us
very comfortable, We have laun-

plant which manufactures eight tons
of ice daily and being German boat,
places to get beer and refreshments
on nearly every deck. Mr.. Clark,
who has charge of the cruise, pays
81, 100000 for the use of the, boat for
this cruise and the one before it.
Everyone is we'll pleased with his ar
rangements, as we stop at only the
very best hotels and everything is
provide for us on grand scale.
When we arrived at Honolulu, we
were royalty entertained. After we
had passed the medical inspection
boats conveying Hawaiian girls
came out and sang sweet songs and
then came on board and put wreath
of flowers or leis, around each pas

dock, the native boys swan out ana

mers and remain in the water for
hours and perform many feats of
daring. Special street cars then con-
veyed us to different points Of inter-
est in and around Honolulu, with an
hours stop for lunch at the Royal
Hawaiian hotel which is an historic
hosiery. In the afternoon we visit
ed the Aquarium, which contains
most wondrous specimens of fishes
said to be the most unusual in the
world. Their queer shapes AMI Pc
culiar beautiful colorings are hard
to describe. Some of the shades were
blended together as delicately as a
rainbow. After passing through
this collection of wonders we went to
Waikiki beach, where an elaborate
program hal been prepared for our
amusement consisting Of canoe and

There are about five hundred auto
mobiles on the islands AMI the grade
of cars is of the best. The roads are
ideal. They are spending $40 900 a
month in building them. The stores
are metropolitan and our language
is spoken and understood almost
| everywhere. The hotels here ofrer
every convenience to travellers and
the islands are becoming very popu-
lar amonst the tourists where many
delightful days and weeks coula be
spent amongst a very courteous ana
entertaining class Of people, with
surroundings offering a diversion OF
sports and amusements which cannot
fail to entertain AMI interest the
most exacting. The islands are very
healthful, the schools are of the best
and many Californians and Austral-
ians educate their children here.
The method Of taxation is also novel
and think fair. One per cent on
real estate AMI personal property
and two per cent on excess OF In
comes over 1880 per annum.
At o'clock Sunday afternoon we
pulled out Of the harbor bound for
Yokohama, Japan. 1t seemed to me
as If the entire population had turn
ed out to witness our departure and
thousands of people occupied every
view point possible. The local bands
and our own band made things en-
livening AMI the people gowned in
their light colored clothes made the
scene one never to be forgotten. 1t
required considerable engineering, as
well as time, to turn our boat around
and we were in sight of the throngs
for a considerable period, all appar-
ently bent on watching us until we
disappeared. We were well pleased
with our reception and will always
cherish the memory of our visit to
this mid-ocean spot.
We are now on our way to the ma
tive land of the slant-eyel Jap,
where we will spend fifteen days.
One peculiar feature of the trip is
that we 60 to bed Wednesday night
and wake up Friday morning as we
loose one day entirely and to add to
the confusion we have to in addition
to the above turn our watch back
twenty minutes each lay and it
makes it rather inconvenient to keep
track of the time. We have met
some very agreeable and learned
people and each day gather addition.
Eal Information in regard to the points
which we are to visit. Tonight we
will attend lecture on the Passion
Play, which sort Of prepares us in
advance.
The Honolulu papers gave our
party q great send off illustrated
with a considerable number of half
tones.

hard to comprehend. The natives
roasted a pig for US that afternoon
in native style. The pig was cut
open, cleaned and hot stones placed
inside then tied together with bana-
ma leaves; hole dug in which more
hot stones were placed, then covered
with leaves, on top Of all about two
feet of sand was placed and left to
roast in this manner for an hour.
Poi was also cooked in q similar
manner only requiring longer to pre-
for the Hawaiians, but after we
sampled some we conclude we
would have to cultivate q taste for
it. In the evening dance was given
in our honor on the roof garden Of
the Alexander Young hotel-a beau.
tiful hotel costing million dollars.
In a sitting of palms and tropical
plants It was very enjoyable. The
music was furnished by a native or
chestrA AMI was accompanied by
singing by the Hawaiian women It
was novel and pleasing music.
want to say right here I never have
heard such sweet melody as the Ha-
waiian women produce with their
singing, It certainly is enhancing
and we were favored with great
many. selections during our stay.
Our second day was spent in visiting
places we had not touched the day
before in automobiles. Honolulu is
a very beautiful place. It's streets
are lined with semi-tropical trees.
flowers and plants, while the Royal
palms, banana trees, cocoanut palms
and other wonders looked particu
larly inviting and pleasing to us.
One hedge contained over ten thous-
and night blooming cereus plants.
The people here live an outdoor life
and although their homes are grant,
yet the lawns and gardens are given
great attention and their cool, sweet
scents seemed to beckon us to stay
end enjoy their beauty. We were
driven out to the celebrated Pail
'irive, six miles from Honolulu which
is one of the grandest view points of
mountain, sea and sky in the whole
group of islands. Over the edge of
1t is an immense precipice, over
which one of the kings Of a Hawai-
ian tribe, drove an attacking tribe
to their death and recently a tablet
has been placed their in his honor.
We then were driven through the
magnificent private estate of Hon. S.
M. Damon, which contains specimens
OF all the trees. plants and flowers
grown on the islands; then on out to
the sugar and rice plantations. Sugar
raising is the principal industry on
the island and their plantations are
the most profitable in the world.
tried to climb a cocoanut palm, but
did not get very high up. We SAM
pied strange fruits and nuts, and all
were pleasing to our palate, although
we had some little trouble in prepar-
ing some of the fruit for consump
ton as it was strange to us. The
pineapples grown here are delicious
while the papaia, mango, and ALI
gator pear were also appealing. The
greater percent of the population of
the islands is composed OF Japs, AMI
they are thoroughly disliked, while
the Chinaman is held in high esteem
and is regarded as an honorable AMI
reliable business man. The Ameri-
cans I believe compose about Is per-
cent of the population, although they
dominate the affairs and the native
Hawaiian seems to reverence him.
