FARM WAGON BY TROLLEY. Of all the- presentation swords tohieh the United States Government has liven in times past to its heroes of the army and navv, none equals in artistic beauty and skillful design the sword of honor soon to be given Rear Admiral George Dewey. The cost of the sword will not be far bom $10,000, which was appropriated by Congress last May to defray the Expense, also, of manufacturing a set of bronse medals for the officers and men of the Asiatio Squadron. With the exception of the steel blade and the body metal of the soab- bard the sword will be made entirely of pure gold, of twenty-two carats fine; the grip will be covered with fine sharkskin bouhd with gold wire and inlaid with gold stars. Above the sharkskin the handle terminates in a richly oarved and enameled gold collar and knot. A narrow band of oak leaves unites the sharkskin to the collar. Then come the arms of the Admiral's native State, Vermont, with the motto, "Freedom and Unity," A •pedal Track to Carry It When Ralls Are Reached. A great many different schemes have been proposed, and some of them have been tried, for lessening the work ol carting farm produce into town. The traction engine is used for that pur pose to a considerable extent in Eng land, although in America very little hanling is done therewith. Then again there -has been a good deal ol talk of laying broad, guttered rails on the common highway for the wheels of the ordinary wagon to run in. In some parts of the United States there are trolley lines reaching through the rural regions and carrying not only passengers, bnt also mail and ex press matter. A Toledo man, named Bonner, has devised a special trnck which is de signed to run on a street railway and to carry a farm or express wagon. In asmuch as the ordinary vehicle would not fit the truok, Mr. Bonner thinks it better to have his own wagon as well as his railway truok. He has ob tained a franchise from the city of Toledo for running his wagons through the streets. After the city service is fairly started Mr. Bonner will endeavor to secure rnral patronage. Of course, it will be BEAR ADMIRAL DEWEY’S SWORD OF HONOR. (8liowlng both sUlos ol tho blmlo. together with the scabbard and bolt.) and above this, and spreading toward the top, iB the great seal of the United States, with the blue field of the shield in enamel; the shield in the arms of Vermont is also enameled. The collar is surmounted with a closely woven wreath of oak leaves, the standard decoration for rank, and the intervening spaces between the decoration are studdod with stars. On the pommel is carved the name of the cruiser Olympia, and the xodiaoal sign for tho month of De cember, when Dewey was born. The gnard is oomposed of a conven tional eagle, terminating in a claw clasping the top, the outspread wings forming the guard proper. The ex pression of the eagle is one of cool de termination, and, while firm, still bearing a message of peace in the laurel wreath held in the beak. The wreath serves as a protection, cover ing the point of the beak, and at the name time preserves the proper out lines of the guard. The scabbard will be of thin steel, damacened in gold, with sprays of rose marinus, signifying fidelity, con stancy and remembrance. The sprays are interlaced in the form of a series of oartouohes, with a star in the cen tre of eaoh, while dolphins fill the outer spaces. Sprays of oak leaves and acorns secure the rings and trap pings of the scabbord; above these, on the front of the scabbord, is a raised monogram in brilliants entwiniug the letters “G. D.,” and immediately un der them are the letters “U. S. N.,” surrounded by the sprays of rose marinus. The ferrule, or lower end of the scabbard, terminates in en twined gold dolphins. The sword blade is damascened with the inscription: : The Gift ol tbe Nation to Rear : Admiral George Dewey, D. 8. ; N., In Memory of tbo Victory ; : at Manila Bay, May 1, 1898. ; The letters are of an ornamental character, and sufficiently large to be diguitied. The Phoenician galley, representing the first craft of the world's navies, supplies the rest of the ornament on this side of the blade. On the other side of the blade is shown the flight of the eagles of victory, bearing festoons of laurel to the four quarters of the earth.

The rapid development of trolley lines through the rural dis tricts nowadays makes Mr. Bonner's idea an interesting one. There is no telling how for it is likely to become serviceable to American farmers. What Dusty Rhodes Did. "At the first call ho went to the front. ” Letter Carriers In India.

People are beginning to ask prac tical questions abont the nation’s new domain in the Hawaiian Islands. There is a widespread inquiry as to opportnnties presented in the islands for fortune-getting. Many of these inquiries betray the supposition that Hawaii is nearly an nntrod wilderness, given over to half-naked savages in Fong's principal business connections are in China, and be does a large im port trade from there. Small groceries and bokeshops in Honolulu are largely in tbe bands of Chinamen, and their little provision stores are dotted all over the island. They are also the purveyors of frnits and vegetables for the Honolulu house holders. The country abont Honolulu is much taken up with their immkeu- latelv kept gardens. A pocket hand kerchief would more than cover any neglected or unfruitful portion of these gardens. They labor in them minutely and assiduously, crowned with broad, pagodl-like hats, carrying huge cans ©*- - ■ HAWAIIAN COUNTRY RESIDENCE. an aboriginal Btate of simplicity and heathenism. There is much pictur esque material in the native life and customs, which invites the descrip tive writer to turn aside and dwell npon it. It thus receives undue prominenee. As a matter of fact, the native element i# a constantly dwind ling Influence, not only by reason of the decrease in numbers of the race, bnt also of the increasing ratio of the foreign population and commercial and indnstrial improvements. With a total population in all the islands of muoh less than 100,000, it is easily seen that a small ohauge in the absolute nnmbera may work vast changes in proportions. Thus, the introduction in the last few years of only a few thousand Japanese laborers has awakened grave fears of a new pra- d o mi nnting influence i n the affairs of tho islands. But the little brown men t'X&tm m wmoO UMI^O\lWI MHUlfi* 5 have thus far proved themselves as quiet, contented and law-abiding ns had the Chinese, who comprised the largest part of the male population after the growth of the sugar industry had invited the use of their labor. Bnt it is surprising how little effect all of these alien elements have in changing tho prevailing Anglo-Saxon character of the little country’s insti tutions. All matters, industrial, com mercial, social and political, centre in Honolulu. And Honolulu is a New England town transplanted into the tropics aud embowered in palms in stead of elms. The selection of the site of Honolulu was not meroly for tuitous. The deep bay, with tho en trance looked by a ooral reef, opening away from the prevailing trade winds, makes it the one socuro harbor in the group, as it did when the New Englnud whalers first made it their rendezvous for their annual expeditions. Even Pearl River Harbor itself, which is counted so valuable as a naval coaling station for the United States, offers itB promise to the skilled eye of the en gineer rather than to the heart of a mariner seeking refuge from imme diate storm. Honolulu alone boasts of finished wharves, to whioh seagoing craft can come and unload and load their cargoes. The eo-oalled “esplan ade” in Honolulu presents a soene of bnstle and aotivity at any time, with a fair showing of sailing vessels tied np to its wharves. The shippiug and commission bouses are the most power ful olemont in the business of the isl ands. The majority of them are Amer ican, but there are some strong British aud German houses as well. Many of the plantations are owned and financed by such Honolulu houses, who may be also in the import business and own the bottoms in which they import dry goods, lumber and supplies of all kinds and export sngar. There are vessels thus owned whioh come out from Bos ton or from Liverpool and go on to China aud India as traders. Tbe of water on a yoke stick across their shoulders down the furrows and sprink ling the vegetables on either side. In marketing his produoe the Chinaman seeks no middleman, bnt yokes him self with his shoulder stick, with a basket on each end loaded with vege tables, and with a quick, swinging trot goes from house to house and delivers his produce to the oook-honse. Fresh vegetables are cheap and always abun dant, and owing to the equable cli mate one crop ripens after the other all the year around. The same is true of most of the frnits. It is no unusual sight to find fruit blossoms, ripe fruit aud the intermediate stages all to gether on one tree. The Chineso are the household servants, almost with out exception, and are highly prized, and also highly priced. Living, on the whole, is rather dear in Honolulu, and there is large de pendence on canned goods, both for meats and for fruits and vegetables, such as are not successfully produced in the islands. The Honolulu fish market is one of the sights of the A NATIVE HAWAIIAN WITCH DOCTOH. town. The dealers are mostly native fishermen, and one may see here nearly all the uncouth monsters of the sea—the dying splendors of the dolphin, and the demoniao squid, whioh is a favorite article of diet with the natives. Fresh fish of ohoioest flavor can always be bad from these native dealers, who form mallet ponds by building sea walls of stones, and havo some skill in cultivating the fish. An ice factory affords ample supply for refrigerating pnrpoBea and for cooling drinks, the need for which is by no means pressing, as the tempera ture is rarely oppressive and iB tern pered during tho larger part of the year by the northeast trade winds. The demands upon the time and ener gies of businessmen are not excessive. Life flows easily and equably in the little community. Many residents of Honolulu own oottages on the soa beaoh at Waikiki, only a few miles from Honolulu. The surf comes in over the ooral reef and breaks on a shelving, sandy beach. A noble grove of ooooa-nut palms fringes the beaoh and shades the oottuges. Here the well-to-do residents of Honolulu rusti cate ; and there is ’no lovelier spot the world around. ITOR QUAY ARRESTED.

Oue of the influential figures in the business life of tbe islands is Ah Font’, the well-known Chinese merchant. Ah Warrants were issned at Philadel phia Monday for the arrest of United States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, his son, Richard R. Qnay, ex-Stata Treasurer Benjamin J. Haywood and Charles B. McKee, of Pittsburg, law partner of Lieutenant Governor Lyon. They are accused of conspiracy with John S. Hopkins, formerly cashier of the People’s bank, to nse pnblio mon eys for their own nse. Hopkins killed himself last March, shortly before the bank's failure. Senator Qnay and his son returned to Philadelphia from Atlantic City as soon as they heard of their intended arrest. They promptly surrendered themselves, and Magistrate Jermon held them in $5,000 bail eaoh for a hearing. David H. Lane, the republi can leader, became their bondsman, and Monday afternoon they returned to the seashore. By advice of their attorney they declined to disouss the case. Mr. Haywood is in Montana aud Mr. McKee is in New York. The warrants were made out on Sat urday by Magistrate Jermon at the in stance of District Attornoy Graham, and on the affidavit of Charles F. Myers, of the district attorney’s office Myers is a detective and Rioted on in formation furnished by Thomns W. Barlow, receiver of the People’s bank. After Hopkins’ suicide an examina tion of the bnuk’s condition was made and showed that the assets were im paired. The bank nt once went into liquidation, and President McManes obligated himself personally to proteat all creditors. At the time the deposit of state funds amounted to $505,000, which amount has since been paid into the state treasury by Mr. McManes. Thomas A. Barlow was appointed receiver' of the bank when it closed itB doors. Mr. Barlow is also nssistant district attornoy, butDUtrict Attorney Graham states that the prosecution had originated in his office and that Mr. Barlow in hi* capacity of receiver hud not in any way been instrumental in bringing tbe charges.
