LILIUOKALANI OF HAWAII

Archie Rice, in the New York Sun. M M Y own early and casual impress JW si0ns of Liliuokalani were that c uS she was a good sample feminine product of the islands, spot lighted with a sort of initiated royalty of the doll house order.
 But long interviews with her con- vinced Tie that she was woman of un- usual intellect, possessed of wide gen. eral information, on which she could dis course readily and with an exceptional choice of detion. Of the mature quasi public women I have had occasion to interview in newspaper days I should evidences of education and womanly worldliness with Susan B. Anthony, Kate Field, Anna Howard Shaw, Maud Ballington Booth, Mrs Leland Stanford, Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson-a group which I cannot offset by a similar num- Der of operatic or dramatic stage stars.
 The last extended talk I had with Liliuokalani was 21 years ago. It mostly concerned her claim of private right to the so-called crown lands of Hawaii, some 2OO,000 acres, for the adjudication of which she struggled for years. but

 To that "audience with the Queen,' was ushered by native man and a native woman, who backed and bowed me into the presence of her whom they and all other native Hawaiians ever re- vered as their Queen. These retainers then stood silent sentinels in the back ground.
 Liliuo,1alani spoke my name, extended her hand in welcome, and then, with a gracious motion, directed that l be seated in chair placed on the opposite side of the table at which she sat in a larger chair.

ALABAMA PRESS

Colbert County Reporter: Senators Un-
 derwood, Bankhead and Congressman Almon tell us that we stand an excellent chance of landing the big plant at Mus cle Shoals, provided the government can secure options on overflow lands at a reasonable price. We would be reluc-
 tant to believe any land owners in Col
 bert or Lauderdale counties would block
 so great an enterprise, which would
 mean so much to this section, by holding
 up the government on the price of lands.
 Blount County Journal: After all it is
 not so much the kind of governor we
 get. We think the people should devote
 great deal of time and study to the
 kind of representatives we choose.
 They can do great deal of harm or can accomplish great deal of good. So let's be careful who we elect to the
 legislature.
 Ashland Progress: It is reported that conditions are not at all satisfactory at the Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek. Here's another opportunity for the ex- ercise of generosity and in moEt worthy cause. These old heroes should not be allowed to suffer for any of the common comforts of life.

 Iiliuoka'ani was attired in light brownish Mother Hubbard, the typical native female house dress of the Ha- waiian Islands She wore no jewelry whatever, and her then abundant hair was combed loosely back and done up behind much after the then prevailing vogue with American matrons.
 Liliuokalani talked softly, with an tive tongue that renders vowels musi- cally and has no harsh, hashy, soupy, German aspirates, we'll modulated voice characteristic also of women everywhere who are accustomed to self control and the refinements of life.

Around thy borders are the surge and fret or tides illimitable where all streams be met; Above thee be the heaven torn and Against thee be all chaos's powers None shall appall thee! None thy treas

 things can be. We doubt mans god-head till in grief we scan The hearts foundations. Ah,' how great
 is man! Grief, grief, God knows! Sometimes
 we're light of heart, And sometimes shot with sunbeam is
 the cloud, And sometimes partly rifted is the shroud, And sometimes Joy himself does turn

Watch Your Furnace
 and Save Coal

~ OVERNOR WHITMAN of New NJ York has made public some suggestions for conserving fuel that are applicable to all parts of the country.
 The open grate wastes coal. The whole house should never be heated except when absolutely necessary. Untenanted rooms should have the heat turned off.
 A slow fire in the furnace and a firebox kept full will give the best results and be most economical. A draft wastes fuel.
 A furnace should be tended regular fly by some one who understands his business and should be shaken down at least once day until the fire shows red underneath. Then put on more coal. The feed door should never be left open, the ash pit should be kept empty and ashes should be sifted when hard coal is burned.
 Even his lordship, the janitor, may be taught fuel conservation, with the maximum of heat, if sternly taken in hand by the landlord, but this should not be attempted by tenant. There is no lesson the American people are going to learn more quick ly than the conservation of coal, be- cause they will be driven to it by ne
 cessity. The sooner they begin to keep an eye on the furnace and the coal bin, the less hardship they will

standardization of musical instruction throughout the country, and especial ly for the licensing of teachers. While 1t would be optional with the various states whether or not they would ac- cept the conservatory's recommenda- tions, it is reasonable to assume that most boards of education would be only too glad to cooperate in any way that might promote progress in mu- sical art.
 Several state associations of music teachers are advocating legislation providing for the licensing of instruc- tors, but little headway has been made in that direction.
 In all cities many thoroughly equipped teachers will be found, but incompetent teachers, even in cities of largest size, outnumber those who are fully qualified.
 The time should come when no parent or guardian would pay money for having a child taught music until the teacher had passed an examination and received a certificate of musician ship. As it is, a great deal of money is thrown away every year on incom- petent teachers. A national conserva- tory would be the proper agency through which to handle this matter.
