This short sentence was the P2 description of a leader of the celebration in honor of the 60th birthday of the mother of Chi- a&'s Emperor. This -woman's son came to tie throne of the wondrous empire when he was but five years of age. Until the monarch reached his majority the dowager was the ruler. Her ability was so signal and her liking far public affairs so marked that si e as to this day a prominent factor ia the administration of the throne. "When honored with the hand of a iwineeof the blood the woman was a member of a obscure family. Her own talents earned her the place she m ably occupied. It is common report from the Orient that the dowager will take the conduct of the war from the trembling hands of her son and IA Hung Chang. Observing men who have informed themselves on Chinese polity say that the woman would exert every force of the empire to uphold the honor of the throne. The Chinese delight to honor Yin ling. In every clime to which a person of the race has been attracted, ner praises are sung. In the empire she Is simply imperial. To her brain power there is added the most commendable graces of the heart. Her grasp of public matters Is equalled only by her knowledge of the needs of the people. She is constantly in touch with the masses. Yin Ling has made herself almost revered by her munificent charities. These have been accompanied by works from the throne for the benefit of the laborers and common people. In Honolulu the Chinese celebrated the anniversary of Yin Ling's birth quietly but on a pretentious scale. Sir. Ho Fon, of the Hawaiian Chinese Xews, said they were averse to doing anything that might tend to make friction locally. The exercises were managed by a committee consisting of these business men. Wong Wa Fni, of the Wing Wo Tai Company; Chun Ming, Hop Hing Company; Wong Chow, Yee Wo Chan Company: C Afat, Yee Chan Company. A purse was made up, the native band engaged and a large quantity of fireworks purchased. There was nothing official about the affair. The only representative of the Chinese Government here is Mr. Goo Kim, the commercial agent. In Tuesday's functions he acted simply as a merchant and the president of the United Chinese Society. Chinatown was profusely decorated. There never was before such a. showing of flags and lanterns. Banners had been imported for the occasion. The yellow flag with the fierce, forbidding dragon fioated over every Chinese place. At Maunakea and Hotel streets a large Hawaiian flag was draped from a line to the street. At the Chinese engine house the tall riag pole had the yellow cloth with the picture and a long string of shipping signals. The balcony of the building at Hotel and Maunakea was covered with vines and ferns and leaves. It was here that the band played at noon and again in the evening" It was from tbe balcony that Wong Wa Fui made tbe address of day. Goo Kim and the assistant commercial agent and other officers received members and a few friends at the club house of the United Chinese Society on KiDg street. There were feasts of sweetmeats for those who entered tbe parlors. The decorations were screens and doilies. The latter were hand worked with golden thread. There wers about 150 callers, including a few foreign guests. There were gatherings at various hours of the day in the new hall of ihe Chinese Protective Union. This Is a new organization carried on by persons entirelv friendly to the other societv. It is also on King street. The location is near Mauukea. Here some of the mechanics and small merchants talked of the attribuies of the and wondered if she would step VB. GOO SIM. in and end the war victoriously for he- countrv. The Chinese here say that incapable and dishonest officials in their country give the Japanese advantage. The display of fireworks last evening was from the vacant lot at the corner of Smith and Hotel. It was a fine exhibition and drew a. large crowd from all parts of town. At 650 the meeting was held. ong Wa Eui is said by his countrymen to be a fine orator. He made himself heard and held the close attention of a large audience. The speaker came to Hawaii as a child and has become manager for a heavy wholesale house, as well as a leader in the colony. He said : "This is the birthday of our beloved Empress Dowager Tszi Hi, and she is 60 years of age. We, her people, must honor her, as she has always treated us as her own children. "She has done many things for the benefit of our countrymen. She held the power in our country for many years. Her beloved husband, our renowned Emperor, Hamg Foong, died about thirty-four years arro, ana after his death her son Tung Chee ascended the throne and became the Emperor of China, but he was merely a boy and the empire was actually ruled by the Empress Dowager. Tung Chee MR. TVOXG WA FUI. reigned only for thirteen years and died, and was succeeded by Kong See, our present Emperor. " e all understand that our present Emperor was only five years old when he became Emperor, and the country was again under the rule of our beloved Empress Dowager. "During the reign of the present Emperor, and while our country was under the rule of the Empress Dowager, it was very prosperous. She ruled over 400,000,000 people and she is undoubtedly a woman of good sense. She has made many improvements in our country. A few years ago there were no railroads in China, but now there are several hundred miles of railroad constructed and several important manufactories established in the country. I may say tonight that China is progressive in every respect, and I may predict that China will be, in some of these days, one of the most powerful countries in Asia. "Long live the Empress Dowager." IS A GOOD PLANK. An American Union Man Writes About the Tariff. Mr. Editor: The platform of the Ameriean Union Party contains the following plank on the tariff: "We demand such a revision of the tariff as will prohibit competition with American products and manufactures, protection to which America is justly entitled by virtue of the treaty of reciprocity, and which we deem necessary to insure the existence of our merchants, who are being rapidly superseded by an element having nothing in common with the principles lying at the foundation of our institutions." The editor of the Star, in his issue of October 16th, commenting on the platform, stated with reference to the tariff plank. " The demand that the tariff should be revised so as to meet with the requirements of the American tariff seems to be somewhat cloudy until the status of the United States tariff law is finally settled." This has been his sole expression on the subject up to last night's issue, wherein the "clouds" seem to break away; the editor's vision becomes clear, for we find him advising the Government to carefully investigate the trade in saki, which comes into direct competition with California wines, preparatory to laying the question before the Legislature as soon as it convened, thus indicating the wisdom of the Convention, which fully appreciated the condition that he now desires investigated and acted upon, and exposing the shallowness of his commentary on the tariff plank. The sakl trade may be a startling revelation to some, but it is merely an examplification of what is being developed in many other lines of goods, a fact which can be proven by the most superficial investigation. The membership of the American Union party have full confidence in their elected representatives to the Legislature, and know that they will live up to the platform, which demands the correction of a condition, the existence of which is bv the saki trade. W. R. S. White Winged Peace. These two paragraphs are from the Anglican Church Chronicle : "We ought to congratulate ourselves on the quietness we eDJoy in these Islands, where there are so many conflicting elements and especially while the war is being waged between two of the nations whose people supply for the most part our labor. The prayers of the church continually ascend that the world may be so peaceably ordered by God's governance." ''The first election under the Hawaiian Republic took place last Mcnday." a W. A. McGuire, a well known citizen of McKay, Ohio, is of the opioion that there is nothing as Rood for children troubled with colds or croup as Chamberlain's Congh Remedy. He has ned it in his family for several y earb with the best results and always keeps it bottle of it id the house. After, having la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe cough. He used other remedies without benefit and then concluded to try thfl children's medicine and to his delight it soon effected a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by all Dealers.

Gnei ia t an Important Time Company 'Will Establitb an Experimental Station Men Wanted a Member of the Society. F. A. Schaefer is the new president of the Planters' Labor and Supply Company. There was applause when this was reported to the morning. Mr. Schaefer has been interested in plantations since 1S62. lie has always had an abiding faith in the industry and has put in his time and money through all the vicissitudes. He is now very prominent in the business, being well known in foreign countries as a successful man. He is at the head of the acency and wholesale house of F. A. Schaefer & Co. The gentleman is dean of the consular corps at the capital. He represents Italy, Mexico and Guatemala. Mr. Schaefer is placed at the helm of the Planters' Labor and Supply Company at a It was realized in selecting Mr. Schaefer that such a man as he was needed in dealing with the labor question and establishing the experimental station that is to be set up. The other officers of the board are: Vice President, F. M. Swanzy. Secretary, C. Bolte. Treasurer. P. C. Jones. Auditor, J. B. Atherton. It was recommended by the trustees that the cempany levy five cents a ton on output for current expenses and an additional five cents if the laboratory was secured and a chemist engaged. Such a resolution was adopted after a discussion that reached into many fields. Mr. Baldwin said they needed a chemist with facilities here to make all sorts of analyses. He should also travel about the islands and report on soils. As the work would be for the direct benefit of the whole agricultural interest, the Government should encourage it. Mr. Atherton said it was for the Company to say if they wished the directors to proceed with a matter that would involve an outlay of $10,000 or '? IMS.- EKESIDEXT F. A. SCHAEFER. more. He believed in the preposition. Andrew Moore could see great merit in the plan. In answer to a question Mr. Eassie was assured that isolated plantations would derive full benefit from the station. Mr. Scott was certain that the investment would prove a profitable one in the end. There should be a complete laboratory, including a small mill. Secretary Bolte read a letter from Professor Stubbs, of Louisiana, giving some figures and warmly endorsing tbe plan. Mr. Morrison thought there should also be a complete library and all the sugar publications. He remarked that there were several French and German publications from which translations should be made. There was some consideration of revenue and the sugar men talked of the coffee men. Mr. Swanzy spoke of tbe worth of the services of Professor Koeble and Mr. Marsden to the new industry and pointed out tbe fact that half of Mr. Koebele's salary and expenses were paid bv the Planter's Company. Messrs. Hall, Atherton, Baldwin, Bolte, Goodale, Scott and others spoke to this question. All believed that the coffee men should contribute to the funds of the company, and that their inclination was to co operate with the sugar men in their development of the country. Mr. Hall said that the coffee business was still in its infancy, and that the growers had not yet had any realizations. Messrs. Kay, Scott, Olding and others addressed the company on the subject of taxing fertilizers coming into the country, for the support of tbe laboratory. It was also remarked that these fertilizers should be tested upon arrival. Mr. Baldwin believed that the coffee men would co-operate with the company if invited. Mr. Goodale moved for a committee of three to handle tbe matter. Messrs. Goodale, Hall and Scott were named. On motion of Mr. Kay, the publication of the list of members in the Planters Monthly was ordered. Mr. Irwin suggested that tbe By-Laws be revised and published. Mr. Whitney presented a series of resolutions, which were postponed. These related to roads on Hawaii, to tbe cable, bureau of information, and several other matters. Messrs. Young and Irwin said these matters had best be handled by the Chau het of Commerce. The meeting adjourned at 11:45. Among the visitors to the hall yesterday were Minister Willis, Consul Mills, Judge Hart and J. G. Spencer. An Experiment to he Made on the Coast. An Eastern corporation with ample capital is about to plant 5,000 acres in San Joaquin Valley with canaigre, the new tannin plant As canaigre can be grown on the sand plains without irrigation the new enterprise is likely to make valuable those lands that have hitherto been comparatively worthless. A Stockton paper says that in Drocess of time the bark supply of the Mendocino country must be exhausted and bark grow dearer. The cultivation of canaigre at present price- is not richly but it will pay in the near future. The root yields about like the sugar beet and would leadily command $5 a ton if produced in such quantities as would justify a tannery in putting up drying kilns and mill to grind it. -- Imprisoned On a Ship. 1 he steatashipAormamiiit, from Hamburg, arrived in the port of Xew Yort on Saturday, Sept. 3rd, 1S92, with cases of cholera on board. Man; of the ship's company bad died on the passage. At Hamburg and here in Europe disease was racing. 1 he authorities in America were alarmed lest tbe scourge should be introduced into that country. Hence they quarantined tbe with every soul of her passengers and crew. The writer was a passenger. It wa9 an awful time. Death was among ns and on all sides of ns. Nobody knew who next wonld fal. We were imprisoned. Liberty never seemed so fair, nor so far. We could neither fight nor fly. There we were hundreds ot trell, and yet bound together as with chains, that the health officer of the port might see whether the plague wonld not yet break out in our midst. When at last after weeks of this we were set on shore, men lifted tbeir bats and reverently said, "Thank God."' This was being shut up under conditions to make it horrible and fearful. Yet any form of incarceration is bad enough. Here is a woman, for example, who says, "I neter moral a yard from my otcn doorstep for hcenty tceeks!" Her own house was a prison to her. Who had sentenced her? A judge? No; a power greater and more pitiless than any judge. Her tale runs thus: In April, 18S2, whiUt living at Lasher's Farm, Old Samford. Essex, a fire broke out, and tbe family were burned out of house and home. We bave no call to remark on such a calamity. The very thought of it is fit to make one shiver with dread. For most of ns it is like the world coming to an end to experience su b a disaster. Well what happened after that the lady shall tell in her own fashion the best of all fashions, because it is plain and straight to the point. She says: "Owing to our bedding being damp from exposure, I took a bad cold, which brought on rheumatic fever. For fourteen days I was confined to my bed, and for twenty weeks I never moved a yard from my own doorstep. After a time the fever abated, leaving me weak, languid, and low. At first. I bad a sickening taste in the mouth and a poor appetite. No matter how simple and light the food was, I was afraid to eat, for it was sure to give me pain at the chest and sides; so I often had to loosen mv corset and undress myself during the day. I could not bear the weight of my clothing. -'I was constantly spitting np a sour, frothy fluid, and bad a gnawing pain at the pit of the stomach like hunger, and yet different. It was with difficulty I voided the kidney secretion, and my bowels, ankles, and legs began to swell. I got worse; I was in agony night and day, and could not put my foot on tbe ground. Soon afterwards a hu6ky cough took me, and my throat fil'ed with a thick phlegm. I could not sleep, and was never eisy. Later on I had often to sit up in bed. foi I felt as if I should choke. "Year after year I continued to suffer in this way, growing worse and worse, until I despaired of ever being well again. Bat who can tell when trouble will come, or when relief? A wonderful Providence is over all. "One day in June, a book came by post describing Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup and what it bad done for many poor sufferers. I got a bottle from Mr. Suckling, medicine dealer, and after taking it for a short time all pain left me, and I gradually gained strength. By taking an occasional dose I have since kept in good health, and can eat and digest any kind of food. (Signed) Mes. Lidia Geees, Moor End, Great Sampf ord, via Braintree, Essex, Aug. 2tb, 1832." Mow, in order that Mrs. Green's clear and truthful statement may be of use to others (as she dtsirts it to be), we must add a word or two. Tb bad cold she caught at the fire no doubt "brought on" the rheumatic fever (as she relates), but there was something back of tbe cold, for a cold nner causes rleumatiim. The rheumatic seeds, or poison, must already lie in the blood; and that poison is always created by indigestion and dytpepsia, whether the sufferer knows it or not. This is proved by tbe fact that Mrs. Green's chief ailment for ten years after the fire was not rheumatism, but indigeition and dyspepia and dropsy, which is one of its results and symptoms. When the digestion was finally righted by the remedy she alludes to, all her apparent maladies ceased together. Why? Because she had but ne, as we bave said. Ah, yis, disease is a sUrn jailor. And how sweet (and cheap) i3 liberty, obtained by Mother Seigel's help. I I Admitted at the I I I Why?

This nut is now exclusively used on all the principal railroads and street cars lines in the' United States. Samples and pamphlets furnished on application to the undersigned. Agent for the Siphon Water Elevator, which is automatic, for irrigation, city supply, farms, etc. This invention as its name indicates is based upon the principle of the siphon known to the Ancients but it is devised in such a manner as to greatly enlarge the field of application. Used until today only for the drawing off of liquids to a lower level, tbe siphon now becomes an Automatic Water Elevator, which under favorable conditions is endowed with great powers. In many instances, land situated higher than tbe irrigation ditch can be irrigated at a nominal expense. The Siphon Elevator is especially adapted for such conditions, as it can elevate the water from the main irrigation ditch to a higher one, while tbe waste is available for irrigating the lower levels. The siphon elevators are made of brass and iron in sizes ranging in capacity of from two hundred to three million gallons per day. Ef Estimates and plans famished for new machinery and repairs. G. R.
