wnt\. us. Uncle Bom reined in his
team, eo tuai we could better o.iseive

severely with her enemies.”
“Then the sooner we make peace
with the fat lady tho better," I said.
“Still, the royalty business may he a

freedom of speech and action.”
“Ob, you will not be trammeled in
r.etion,’ replied my uncle. “Guard
your speech and you will get along
all right.”
We sped along again. said

Set iu a beautiful park, beautiful
B alms - ora,, f> and
flowers, the white palace showed to
mar k et i advantage. It; was a large,
square building, nearly all white, with
a tower at each end of the facade. It
had innumerable windows and bal
conies, and was surmounted by a cu¬
pola above which was raised tho flag
of Hawaii—which was little else thau
a modification of tho flag of England.
“And is tho queen very wealthy?”
asked Winnie.
“Her income from tho State i3
large,” replied Uncle Tom, “and she
has besides a considerable fortune of
her own. Yes, she is rich enough.”
Having feasted our eyes sufficiently
upon tho abode of royalty, wo drove
on.
“Here comes a man you will be
pleased to meet,” said my uncle, reiu
j n ,i j n jij s , i lorse again.
A carriage of unpretentious ap¬
pearance, drawn by two sleek horses,
came toward us and stopped. Iu it
was a man I thought of about the

out his hand and grasped xny uncle’s

“How do yon
ford?” ho asked heartily. “I have not
seen you in a week, and thought
perhaps you wore ill.”
“No, but I have been very busy
with tho sugar, and a few unruly
Portuguese," replied Uncle Tom.
“And, besides that, I have, as you
know, been making some preparations
to receive my niece and nephew. I
visited the office in relation to it the
last time I saw you.” said the
“Ah, yes, I remember,”
gentleman, kindly. “I fancy they
have come,” glancing at Winnie and
me.'
“Yes, children*” saidmyuncle, “let
mo present you to the American min¬
ister, Mr. Stevens.”
Of course, Winnie and I wore over¬
whelmed. But Mr. Stevens cordially
shook our hands, and spoke feelingly
upon the great bereavement wo had
sustained.
“But I am sure you will enjoy your
life hero with your uncle,” he said.
“The climate is grand, and there is
just enough romance about tho place
to suit young people, We shall bo
glad to see you at tho Legation at any
time.”
“Thank you, sir," I replied. “It
will add to our pleasure to have the
friendship of the representative of the
United States.”
Minister Stevens smiled and, as ho
signaled his coachman to drive on,
said:
“I suppose, of course, you will
bring the young people out, Warring¬
ford?”
“As it seems advisable,"replied attend my
uncle. “Of course, we cannot
the balls and official receptions for a
time.”
“No, certainly not. I understand.
But do not let them be strangers,
quite,” and with a pleasant smile and
a friendly nod, he was gone.
“Wbat a splendid man,” said Win¬
nie. “How kind and genial he is.”
“A flno man, truly,” replied my
uncle, “and as true an American as
ever stood in shoo leather."
“But I supposed a sort of dignity
hedged about a minister, and intro¬
ductions were to be had in state.”
“Oh, no, not with Stevens. He and
I have been friendly over since be
oame here. He does not stand very
high with the Queen, however, as he
is too earnest and energetic in look¬
ing after the interests of Americans.”
“Hooray!” I said. “That’s the
kind of man we nood in a good many
places. I hope Gordon will meet
him. He is just the mau to help a
fellow like Gordon.”
“Who is Gordon?” asked Uncle
Tom.
I told him about Arthur Gordon

the entire scene. Palm-trees towered
above us. Long grasses waved their
heads in the balmy breeze. And far
anti away stretched fields of rico or
of sugar-cane, in which were many
men, native, Chinese and Portuguese,
finishing their day’s work.
J^Along this beautiful road wo trav¬
eled for many miles. On the light, in
the far distance, was a low range of
mountains seemingly covered with a
heavy growth of trees. On the left,
several high peaks loftily pointed up¬
ward, piercing the sky.
“We are in the Nuuanu Valley,”
said Uncle Tom, “the fairest stretch
of country in the world.”
“I can easily believe it,” I replied.
“Nature seems to have left nothing
undone that could aid in making it
beautiful.”
We passed a few plantation houses.
Some of them were small and some
were of some pretentions in size.
Before the largest of them, located
most superbly upon a rising ground,
surrounded by sloping lawns, Uncle
Tom turned his horses’ heads toward
the open gate. When we had passed
its portals, he said:
“Now, children, you are home.
This is The Corals, a name I have
given it because the house is partly
built of coral rock. As far as you can
soothe land is mine. Hero you are
free in will and body. Do as you
please. Go and come as you like.
Make the old house ring with your
laughter. Every horse, every cow,
every dog is at your command. So.
in fact, am I. All I ask is love me.”
Winnie reached over and putting
her plump arms around bis neck
kissed him again and again.
“Why, you dear, funny old undo,
she said, half laughing and half cry¬
ing, “we love you to death already.
You will be jnst killed with love!”
The old gentleman’s eyes were moist
as he turned his horses over to his
stableman and led us up the broad
poreli to the hospitable door of his
plantation home.’

good fortune, not good luck. No
ojm but Gordon could have done it.
I had had a small native boy turned
over to me by my uncle n3 an attend¬
ant, and also two horses. With
Malliauki on one and mv3elf on an¬
other, I went into Honolulu to find
Gordon the second day after our ar¬
rival.
I found him on tha porch of the
Nuuana House, a low-roofed, com¬
fortable place that looked like any
3inall American hotel. He greeted
me warmly.
“I was beginning to be afraid you
had forgotten me,” he said.
“Foolish thought,” I replied. “My
time has been fully taken up. But
how are you anyway? What have you
done so far?”
“Smoked half a box of Seacamp’s
cigars and eaten of his best viands.
That’s about all.”
“Nothing in a business way?”
“No. I’ve seen several people,
but business is dead. Everything is
ia a muddle. The queen seems to be
a pig-headed female, who puts her
foot in it every timo she tries to legis¬
late. Half the people either hate or
fear her, and the other half spend
their time wondering what i3 going to
happen next.”
“I learned something of this from my
uncle. He despises the queen and
speaks bitterly of her trouble extravagant brew¬
rule. There seems to be
ing. But what’s that to us? Let
them worry it out. Do you ride?”
“When I get a chance."
“Ihavo two horses here; one ridden
by my Malliauki, an urchin of variable
habits, detailed as body guard or
something by my uncle. Let him kick
up his heels here while we take a ride.
I will show you the beauties of tho

“I wonder if equal
ties of tho Nuuanu Hotel,” said Gor¬
don, laughing,
“By the way, I had forgotten to ask
after mine host, Jollroy Seacamp,” I
replied. “Has his hostelry fulfilled
expectations?” is
“Indeed it has. Seacamp a
blower of tho most pronounced type, he
but he generally knows whereof
bloweth. I was afraid, from his en¬
thusiastic language on the Monowai,
that his place would bo simply
wretched. On the contrary, it is very
good. He sets a good table, is a jolly
soul individually, and ready to lend a
hand to any American on the islands.”
“He is an American, then?”
“I assume it, though he has not told
me so. Yet he speaks like a down
east Yankee, and his push and energy
bear out the resemblance. To prove
to you how ready he is with his
friendship, I shall ask him to lend me
a pair of riding-boots or laggings. ”
We found Mr. Seacamp writing in
his room. Without formality he
grasped my hand. “Mr. Warringford,

his voice sank to a whisper, “he’s a
giant in his Americanism.”
“You ere an American?” I asked.
“Am I an American!” ho said, in a
manner that indicated a strong desire
to shriek. “Am I! Well, ain’t I?
Yon young follows don’t know what it
means to bo an American. Why, look

It certainly made me
hear this enthusiast talk. I was hot
in my support of American institutions
myself, and sympathized with the
voluble hotel-keeper. We drank his
wine and echoed his toast.
“By the way, Mr. Seacamp,” said
Gordon, “Warringford has invited mo
to a horseback ride. I wanted to ask
you if you could lend mo a pair of
boots or leggings, as I notice that every
body who ride3 wears one or the

“Certainly, boy. ’ Keep your

from this house must look us well as
our English cousins, if I have to strip
the place to do it. Leggings are wliat
you want, not boots. Boots are all
right for the military and the English
upstarts, but give us Americans leg

The point did not seem so vital to
rr.e, but as Mr. Jollroy Seacamp never
asked you to support lii3 opinions, I
was not called upon to make any re¬
ply. Fortunately for my good stand¬
ing with Mr. Seacamp, I wore leg¬
gings, as being cooler and more plia¬
ble and comfortable than boots. And
to the fact that I did wear them I think
his advocacy of # leggings could bo
traced. At any rate, the good-natured
fellow brought out a pair, which Gor¬
don put on.
“I will Ieavo my boy, Malliauki, with
you, while wo visit the Corals and re¬
turn,” 1 said.
“Do it. I’ll take care of the littlo
brown devil. I know him well. He
comes here ofton with your uncle.”
Malliauki’s grin was a glorious sight

was to remain at the Nuuanu until we
returned. It imp,'and was a sort of picnic for

Gordon on
horseback. He sat like a Comanche.
He was so tall, so straight and so
handsome that strangers turned to
look at him as we rode along.
I took great pleasure in showing
him the valley and in pointing out the
residences of persons more or less
prominent in Hawaiian affairs, as my
uuoie had shown them to me. And
Gordon was as vigorous in his praise
of the fair as one could wish.
“Here we are,” I said, as wo came
before the big stone archway, from
which a long, smooth rood led to the
house we lived in. “This is The
Corals.”
“What o grand place!” said Gordon.
“You are indeed fortunate, Warring¬
ford.”
“I appreciate it, and wan! t you to
feel as much at home here as I do. I
have uncle, already spoken of you to my
and have his endorsement.”
We found Winifred and Uncle Tom
on the wide veranda. Winnie was
reading and was curled up in a huge
bamboo chair. Uncle Tom half re¬
clined in a similar one, dozing away,
the perfect embodiment of comfort.
Upon being introduced he heariily. grasped
Gordon’s hand and shook it

seen houses literally thrown open to
American or English people by resi¬
dents who had never seen them be¬

ality to oare for the friends from na¬

We had a gay hour on the porch,
my uncle^telling all about Hawaii, its
past, its present and its probable fu¬
ture. We smoked, drank iced
punches, and ate lunob. Uncle Tom

Pension Fund Paid Out.
Pension Commissioner John W\
Lindsay completed the last of the
pension roljs of the state the past
week, and the different funds appro¬
priated for pensions have now been
exhausted. The work of the commis¬
sioner has been of the most satisfactory
order, both to the pensioners of tho
state and to officials who have aided
in the distribution of pensions with
power of attorney.
The first class of pensions taken up
this year was the indigent, the largest
and as a general rule containing the
most needy of all tbo veterans. The
widows of Confederate soldfera were
next paid, and following them the in¬
valids were given their pensions. The
rolls this year have fallen off in
amount, while others have increased
almost proportionately, leaving noth¬
ing of the appropriations made by the
legislature. Lindsey since the
Commissioner lias
first of the year been entirely occupied
with the performance of his duties,and
although "these are of a difficult nature,
he has uniformly impressed the old
veterans with the idea that he is doing
for them all in his power.

Coal Found at Dawson.
While boring the artesian well at the
Dawson oil compress plant a day or
two ago a strata of coal was struck.
Contractor Tinsiey, who is sinking the
well, states that the strata is 200 feet
below the surface and is sixty feet in
depth. A specimen of the coal has
been sent to the state chemist. Parties
who profess to be posted on the sub¬
ject claim that the coal is of fine qual¬
ity and there is much excitement over
the discovery.
Monroe Mills a Soeeesa.
The enlargement of the Monroe eot
ton mills has been completed and all
the new machinery installed. The ad¬
dition consists of two wings 80x100,
two stories each, built of brick and
stone. It increases the number of
looms to 500 and of operatives to 450.
The prodnet of the mills has been al¬

found for it all. The success of the
Monroe mills is a source of pride to
the people of Monroe.

Touchers Want Their Fay.
The Teachers’ Association of Camp¬
bell county at their last meeting passed
resolutions calling upon the state
xehool commissioner to explain why
the salaries of the teachers were not
paid monthly. They called attention
to the law passed by the legislature
over a year ago which required that
the salaries of the teachers of the state
should be paid monthly, and they de¬
sired to know why the law was not
carried out. Copies of the resolutions
were ordered sent to Governor Cand¬
ler, State School Commissioner Glenn
and several newspapers.

Secretary of War Hoot has granted
an extension of four mouths to the
Venable Construction Company on its
contract for building the fortifications
at Key West. Under the original con¬
tract the time for the completion would
have expired last Friday, but the con¬
tractors were able to demonstrate to
the secretary their inability to finish
within the prescribed time was due to
circumstances which they could not
control, and the extension of time was
granted. The reports of the work
done are all highly favorable.
CONSPIRATORS PLEAD GUILTY.
Sensational Case of Tyson and
Others Comes to a Close In Dis¬
trict Court at Savannah.
In the United States district court
at Savannah, Gn., Wednesday D, A.
Tyson anil others pleaded guilty to
the charge of conspiracy to defraud
through the use of the mails. Thus
collapsed a case that lias engaged the
court for the better part of two weeks,
and which Judge Speer characterizes
as “one of the most notable cases ever
tried in the federal court in this coun¬
try. ”
The conspiracy had ramifications
through half a dozen of the country
counties of Georgia, most of them pro¬
hibition counties. The conspirators
would send orders by mail to whole¬
sale merchants out of the state for all
manner of goods, principally beer and
liquors, which they would dispense in
blind tigers, and the shippers would
never hear of their money.
But while liquors for sale in “dry”
counties were a specialty, many other
kinds of goods were embraced iu the
orders of the gang. Indeed,the con¬
fessed leader of conspirators, D. A.
Tyson, built and equipped a long dis¬
tance telephone line connecting Sa¬
vannah with a dozen neighboring
towns with materials fraudulently or¬
dered oil elegantly engraved letter
paper of fictitious firms.
Tyson made use of a number of
small country merchants, whom he
persuaded to permit the use of their
names for the fraudulent ordering of
goods. Many pianos, organs, reapers,
cases of wine and other articles were
found in depots in the territory of the
gang, consigned to the various mem¬
bers of it. The gang victimized whole¬
sale merchants in Montgomeiy, Chat¬
tanooga, Kichmond, Charleston, Bal¬
timore, Cincinnati and elsewhere. The
trial had gone on nearly two weeks
and nearly 100 witnesses had been
examined when it was suddenly ter¬
minated by the plea of guilty.
Judge Speer stated that sentence
would be passed upon the men later.
Those who pleaded guilty were: D
A. Tyson, J. H. Hutchinson, W. E.
Hutchinson, Morris W. Hutchinson,
J. M. Harrell, J. T. Hammond, T. L.
Packs, C. J. Phillips, J. S. Wheeler.
Jr., and H. B. Watts, alias C. J.
Watts. The man who was declared
not guilty, the evidence not connect¬ F.
ing him with the conspiracy, was
D. Wilkes.
DEWEY IX PARADE.
Admiral Sufficiently Recovers to Take
Part In Savannah Program.
Fifty thousand persons on the
streets of Savannah Wednesday gave
Admiral George Dewey as enthusiastic
a welcome as was ever accorded to any
public man by the Forest City. The
admiral had recovered from his indis¬
position of Tuesday sufficiently for
him take part in the military parade
and review arranged in his honor, and
as he rode through the streets with
Mrs. Dewey at his side, ringing cheers
rent the air and waving colors made
the scene one long to be remembered.
There were present in the parade
five military companies from Charles¬
ton, one or more companies of naval
reserves from Charleston, Mount
Pleasant and Beaufort, S. C., and
Brunswick, Ga., and military organi¬
zations from Columbia, Pelzer and
Timmonsville, S. C., and Augusta,
Brunswick and Thomasville, Ga.
There were in all seventeen out-of
town organizations.
Adding the local militia, there were
nearly 4,000 men in line. The review
took place in the park extension,
where an admiral’s salute was fired by
the Chatham Artillery from brass
pieces presented to the organization
by President George Washington.
Business, public and private, was
suspended from noon in honor of Ad¬
miral Dewey.

the ladies joined the gentlemen in the
main dining room and the speaking
began. Following came the presenta¬
tion of the elegant silver vase, the gift
of the city of Savannah to Admiral
Dewey, by Hon. F. G. duBignon.

LIME TRUST UNDER WAY.
Representatives of Thirty-Five Concerns
Meet In Birmingham,
Thirty-five lime manufacturing con¬
cerns were represented at a meeting
held in Birmingham, Ala., Saturday
for the purpose of forming the Con¬
solidated Lime Company, which will
come near controlling the lime inter¬
ests in the southern states, with the
exception of Texas.
The company will have, when com¬
pleted, a capital of $3,000,000, which
will be divided into common and pre¬
ferred stock. It is intended to con¬
trol almost exclusively the production
of the lime kilns throughout the south,
and intimation is given that the prices
that now prevail are not sufficient with
the amount invested in the plants con¬
sidered.
