RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov S-(Associ.
ated Press)-Letters received in Porto
Allegro from German commercial firms
in Hamburg state that Immediately
upon the conclusion of peace, freight
and passenger steamship service will
be resumed between Hamburg and the
port of Rio Grande.
Porto Allegro is the capital of the
state of Rio Grande do Sui, one of the
most prosperous states in the union,
A large proportion Of the population
is German.
Before the war large quantities of
fruit, grain and meat products were
exported to Germany from the state
by direct lines of steamers. The
letters just received from Hamburg
stated that it was proposed to resume
this trade, especially as Germany was
sorely in need of the foodstuffs which
Rio Grande do Sui produces in abun'
dance.

INDICATIONS OF COMPROMISE IN
TREATY DEADLOCK GROWING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-From the
discussion OF the treaty which arose
in the enate today during considera-
ton Of the railroad bill, it seems
evident that virtually all factions de-
sire a concilliation. Some members
predict that formal action will be
taken early next year along COM
promise lines.
Activity along these lines is princi-
pally among the democrats, the re-
publican members indicating their in
tention to await a concrete proposal
before committing themselves.

MAUI VISITOR FINDS
HILO PRICES TOO HIGH

Fish prices in Hilo are double what
is asked for the same commodity in
the Valley Isle. This is the conclu-
sion of William Conwell, of Waikiki
who is spending a month in Hilo.
Conwell arrived in Hilo a day or so
ago and since then has made a per
sonal canvas of all the ~fishmarkets,
inquiring as to fish prices. He says
he was surprised to find the rates so
high, and can see no good reason for
this condition. By and large, he says
vendors here charge twice as much as
is asked for the same fish on Maui.
He feels that this tendency to ask
too much for commodities is not con-
fined to fish prices, but runs all the
way down the line.
This is Conwell's first visit to this
city. He is very favorably impressed
with the beauty of Hilo and its sur
roundings, but feels that the local tend
ency is to take his money from the
tourist too fast.-Hilo Post-Herald.

Methodists and pancina.

New Yor World: The appeal Of
! the dancing-masters to the Methodist
| Episcopal church to remove it's bar
on dancing is shrewdly phrased
What they say of dancing as an arr
la social accomplishment and an ex
ercise has of course been often said
before. But the real force Of their
argument is contained in the asser
ton that with prohibition an &C
complished fact the worst evil of
dancing is done away with, and in
their pledge to support only the forms
Of dancing that are decent and to try
! to put the art on "a plane so high
| that neither church nor state can OBJ
| ject to it's legitimate exercise"
| That will mean the publication OF
| dancing from recent tendencies which
have certainly not helped to elevate
! it. But no doubt this is as persuas.
| i've a plea as has ever been made for
the relaxation of the old and RICO
| rous rule of church discipline. The
! Methodist church has long maintain
! ed d consistent attitude Of opposition
| to dancing, and whether the masters
! of the tabooed art can obtain the
| concession which the more liberal
/ opinion of a minority within the or.
ganization could not remains to be
seen. 1t is assumed that the young
] er generation Of Methodists would
favor it; youth is youth and intoler-
ant of discriminatory social restrict
| ions.
| And 1t is inferred that dancing It
| self would improve by the removal
| of the church ban on it in the cir
| cumstances and on this promise of
, the masters. The moral obliga ton
would rest on them of doing all in
their power to that end in return for
| the religious endorsements of their
art

Passing of the Shakers.

Detroit Free Press: one after
another the Shakers, the sect that
!. first established communistic settle
ments in the United States and for
over century successfully main.
tanned their simple industries, are
surrendering their holdings. Their
| buildings are being converted to com.
mercial or philanthropic uses.
| A piece of land in Flatbush, N. T.,
which has been held by Shakers for
225 years, has just been sold. The
settlement at Enfield, Conn.,. recent
ly passed into the hands of tobac-
CO company, and an interesting col
lection of examples of Shaker indus
/ try and workmanship has been
given to the Connecticut Historical
society The collection includes a
complete outfit of clothing for man
and woman which were made and
worn in the earlier years of the nine
teenth century There are wooden
dishes and utensils, and the wooden
pegs used in lieu of nails in build
ing the first Shaker houses Of 1886.
Books, calf-bound, covering the his
tory of the sect for hundred years,
are included in this valuable mater
ial for future studies of American
economic life.
AS the Shakers impose vows Of
celibracy the only accretions are
through converts. The life of sim.
plcity. industry and piety does not
appeal to the youth OF today, there.
fore the sect is dying out. Machines
and the manifold whfms of fashion
have made their primitive industries
Improbable; their wealth now re-
sides in their lands and buildings,
which age and infirities compel them
to surrender
