M. Linken, who has written to the
Promotion Committee to see If any
embargo would be placed upon the
shipping of Hawaiian ferns. sea moss
and begonia, which he proposes to
have sent to his wholesale house in
California, will be allowed to intro
duce such a business. so far as A. p.
Taylor Of the Promotion Committee
has been able to determine.
Mr.. Taylor took up the matter with
David Haughs of the territorial agri-
cultural station, ITO see If the restric.
ton against. the introducing of fruits
into California because of the Medi.
terranean fruit fiy, would apply in like
manner to the Introduction of ferns.
Mr.. Haughs states that he does not
think any such restriction would be
made, as the ferns are known not to
breed the fly. -
Z ! MrssTaylor has accordingly written
to Mr.. Linken, who Is a San Fran
cisco wholesale importer of plants.
informing him of the situation and
sending the names Of local plant
dealers. He expects in due time to
hear of some definite plan for such
shipping.
There is some question as TO whe-

Their Hawaiian plants win grow when
removed to California, unless attend
ed with special care, but that will be
one of the things that Mr. Linken will
have to find out.
In Golden Gate park, In San Fran
cisco, there Is a little sunken garden,
entirely filled with Hawaiian ferns,
plants, palms and such fora. The
place is said to be a yeritable little
Hawaii by these who have seen it.
The plants were placed there in 1893
at the time of the Mid-Winter Carni-
val, and they have thriFed under the
constant care of the park gardener.
The ferns and palms which decor
ate the Hawaii building at the expo
sition are all grown in California 1t
was planned at first to take the ferns
from here, but when it was found
that they could be secured in Ealifor-
MIA; 9e plan was given up.
It Il supposed that Mr.. Linken took
up the matter of trying to secure
ferns here, because he could not OBJ.
tain them from Australia, his original
shipping source, on account OF the
war. though he stated no reason of
that sort when writing to the Promo

SAILEDOUT TOSEA And ANNEXED
OCEANISLAND FOR king KALAKAUA

Among the deeds accomplished by
the late James H: Boyd, who died last
week. while special commissioner
for King Kalakaua, was to rescue
shipwrecked sailors on Ocean, or
Maku Papapa island, and to hoist the
Hawaiian flag over that island on be-
half of the Hawaiian government. The
annexation was accomplished on Sep
TENDER 20, 1886.
The territorial archives contain
King Kalakaua's instructions to Mr..
Boyd to rescue the sailors of the Dun
otter Castle, which had been wrecked
on the island, and to annex the islands
TO the Hawaiian group on behalf of
the government. In accordance there
with. Mr.. Boyd chartered the steamer
Waialeale on September IA, and on
September 90 he arrived at the is

constructed flagpole and on this Mr..
Boyd raised the Hawaiian flag.

  Birmingham Said to Be Uni ted on Him as Douglass
 Successor

P. J. Rogers of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, with an experi- ence of many years in handling convicts, Is an applicant with strong supporters for the presidency of the state convict bureau.
 Birmingham is backing Mir. Rogers sol idly. and 1t Is claimed that he has an ex- cellent chance to land the position which he is seeking One of his strongest as sets, his friends say, Is the fact that he is not desirous of the job because it car res with it salary. The salary now paid Mir. Rogers is said to be more than twice as large as the salary he would receive from the state were he to be appointed
 Some days ago delegation of infiuen- tial citizens of Jefferson county visited Governor Henderson and put the claim of MT. Rogers before him. Yesterday after noon a second delegation left Birmingham for Montgomery with the same object in view.
 Hartwell Douglass, president of the bureau, was appointed by Governor O'Neal shortly following the publicity given to the so-called Lacy scandal It is understood that he is an applicant for re- appointment.

E. T. Myrick of Ensley suggests
 that the people of Birmingham
 erect a great snow white shaft in
 Capitol park in memory of the
 victims of last weeks disaster. He
 writes:
 To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Since the horrible calamity of a few days ago when eight lives were snapped out in a moment. whether by someone's oarelessness or the hand of an all wise God for some good purpose l am not prepared to say, but would like to make one suggestion to The Age-Herald and to the people of Birmingham through your valuable columns
 We can write and talk as much as we please, and the board of city com missloners exonorate or fire someone which ever they please, but neither we nor they can restore one of the lives nor one of the tears that have been shed, but we can cheer some saddened heart little and we can show the loved ones left behind that the memory of their dead shall remain green with us and that for the future we will guard against such an accident by always re membering this one.
 And the best way to remember this

one is to have something to point to, to keep this event in mind.
 So let us erect a suitable shaft Of snow white marble in Capitol park and dedicate 1t to the memory of the dead. whose death Is to some extent at least traeeabIe to the indifference and care iessness of the tax payers of Birming- ham.
 Now, sir. If you see 1t to use your valuable columns to raise a sum for this purpose. 1t will In the public mind reflect great credit to you.
 I would say that some means be used to make this a move of the people. by the people and by asking each individual for small sum. make 1t popular. Of course should the rich desire to give of their means 1t would be acceptable. but let the dino of the working girl have confluence Birmingham should raise Slo00o in this way in less than 10 days, and when this beautiful shaft rears above tho green foliage of our monument park l venture that the hardest heart will sympathize, the stiff fest neck will humble to think of this sad calamity which probably could have been avoided if we had all done our duty.

The statement contained in a letter to The Age-Herald. written by ]. 8. Brown to the effect that a convict. while work ing in the ruins of the Ham shoe store, suffered a fracture of both his legs, is untrue, according to Frank H. Gafford. street commissioner.
 The letter of MT. Brown alleged that the man who is said to have suffered the serious injury was working at the time in chains.
 ''No serious injury of any kind was sustained" said MT. Gafford. "one of the convicts was struck by wooden block tossed up by another convict. This caused merely a scratch. I. myself, suffered a slight scalp wound by the falling of a small piece of brick.

Aunt Sally's Advice

w C. D. says: My face Is freckled the year round; nothing try seems to help much. Is there anything that will really take off these horrid spots?' Have you tried the treatment recom- mended to Minnie L.? I've known this to remove very obstinate freckles.
 Ellen B. asks: What should do for deep lines under my eyes and across my forehead Such lines, and all wrinkles are best obliterated by bathing affected portions in a good astringent and tonic lotion, which strengthens and draws in the relaxed tissue. Here's a reliable formula: 1 oz. powdered saxolite, F pt witch hazel; mix and use daily until en- tirely relieved.
 Minnie L.: The undue redness as well as the pimples, may easily be removed by using ordinary mercolized wax. Ap ply nightly like cold cream and erase mornings with warm water. Soon you'll have a beautifully white, clear, soft and velvety complexion. Mercolized wax, sold by all druggists, Is better than cos metics for any complexion trouble

ter and busy ourselves about it until We do something
 The suggestion made peuculiar appeal to me, because | have been told that Birmingham brick are being used to pave the public roads as far away as the mid dle of Florida. The paving is not wide down there, but if they can run their automobiles and wagons over Birming- ham brick, we can. The truth is. that we have not begun to appreciate what the auto means to Us.
 Is not this a matter of sufficient im- portance to warrant our great morning daily in making an exhaustive inquiry into tho disability and comparative cost of such highway, in order that we may at least think intelligently about 1t, whether we do anything or not?
