placed in boiling.milk and left for
one hour, you can never tell the dish

If we are correctly informed
more than a year has passed since
this county has been scourged by
traveling fakirs. The last gang
was the fruit tree orchard planting
crowd that gathered in many
sheckels of their too confiding vict
ims They were preceeded, by about a
twelvo months, by the cloth catalogue
gang that did a rushing and paying
business. It has been several years
since the festive traveling lightning
rod man has been here and liis com
ing may be looked for any day.
A safe way is to let traveling men
with whom you are not acquainted,
who wish to get your signature to a
paper, severely alone. Deal only
with those you know to be honest
and reliable. This advice is gra
tiously offered by the Democrat as
it has been many times before. If
it is accepted and acted upon, there
are many who will profit thereby.
Last Friday marked the passage
of Deacon Merrill's ninety first mile
stone and a number of his friends
called during the afternoon to tend
er him happiest felicitations of
tlio occasion and to wish for
him that the passing of this
ninety first mile stone in health
and pleasantness might bo only the
presagement of many other birth
days to come. Among theso callers
were Judge A. S. Blair and the
Messers J.D. Annis, C. B. and 11. O.
Harris, Joseph Hutchinson, William
Long, William Mcintosh, H. L.
Rami, C. E. Sager, J. U.
Schilling, M. F. LeRoy, \V. C. Caw
ley, A. D. Brown, Soth Brown, and
A. N. Smith. In behalf of this
company, A. N.Smith and H. O.
Harris presented Mr. Merrill with a
handsome easy chair which was
vory gracefully accepted by the host
with an invitation to theso friends
to call again in nine years, at which
time ho promised them that they
would find him comfortably enscons
ed in and enjoying that easy chair.
An invita'tion which his large circle
of friends will remember and antici
pate its acceptance with real pleas
ure. The company spent the after
noon telling tales of by gone days,
the host, who came to Delaware
county in 1855, entertaining them
with many liappy reminiscences of
pioneer life in this state. Mr. Mer
rill conducted one of the first
smithies in Delaware county and
for [a number of years shod the
pioneer's horse for eight cents a
shoe, cash or ten cents a shoe on
time. Nowadays our villiage black
smiths charge forty cents a shoe for
new shoes. We congratulate Mr.
Merrill upon his arrival at so goodly
an age and may the years of his life
remain to him a gracious store filled
with the best things of time.
A Letter from Mrs. R. W. Tirrill.
AT SEA
1200
MIF.KS FROM HONOLULU
FKURUAIIY,
12th, 1904
DEAR FRIEND MRS. PRKISSNER:
I commenced my letter here with
nothing in sight but the dullest of
Bkies and restless waters. The sea
has been somewhat rough for three
days, a good many of the passengers
are ill, some keeping their beds two
days. R. W. and myself escaped with
only slight symptoms.
This morning tlio sea is more
calm but there aro breezes euougli
all tlio time.
As the days at sea are rather un
eventful I will go back to San
Francisco to February 2d when wo
set
Bail
on the Klirca for Hong
Kong via Honolulu.
'Tis quite an event when a great
ship leaves for a foreign port and
the interest was as intense on
Pacific steamer as when one departs
from Atlantic shores for there are
always some doubts whether she
will "weather all gales."
At 12 o'clock we went on board,
all was hustle, jostlo and excitement
with the handling of freight and
passengers and baggage arriving at
tlio last moment but the whistle
sounds, adieus aro said, and amid
waving handkcrcliiofs the Korea
backs from the harbor and the
journey had begun.
The dining hall was radiant with
gay flowers, adding beauty to the
tables with their snowy damask and
glittering silver.
Our cabin lias good ventilation
and is fair size, llio social hall
roomy and pleasant, writing room
large and airy and all is "spick and
span" clean, as the days have passed
the untiring industry of the Chinese
servants keep all part of the great
ship in good order. The passengers
seem to he a lino class of people,
some young, but mostly middle aged
and aro very much given to books,
and what should we do if we had
no reading matter? We could npt
look at the waves all the time as they
surge unceasingly.
A short distance out we passed
small island, that in the distance
looked like a mere pile of rocks,
yet fishermen and their families call
the place their home, and a teacher
is provided for their children.
After this was passed no sail was
seen and nothing special occurred.
We ate, drank and in general were
merry excepting those having slight
attacks of sea sickness, and we soon
became forgetful that any danger
could lurk to mar our anticipations.
True to hope and expectancy the
early morning of February 8th, gave
us sight of land. Wo were ncaring
the island of Oalm whose capitol is
Honolulu. Its harbor was before us
and the city, half hidden by a fog,
was almost within reach. At the
foot of Diamond Head Promontory a
light signaled to beware of shallow
water. Our groat ship moves slow
ly but surely onward, and at 9
o'clock touched land. A crowd
awaited, and waving handkerchiefs,
welcomed those particularly interest
ed.
All hastened to leave the ship.
After tlio usual salutations when
friend meets friend, a wreath of
flowers, a veritable blossoming chain,
was thrown about the neck of in
coming guests, an expression of joy
for safe arrival^ and future good
wishes. The ceremony was new to
us and it seemed pleasing and appro
priate.
Tlio night before the city had been
visited by a heavy rain and "clouds
yet hung dark," but a few hours
ater bright sunshine and the blue
skies were over all. This is much
more of a metropolis than I expect
ed, good business blocks and spa
cious hotels are not lacking. A fine
system of electric street railway of
fers speedy communication from
city to suburb, rendering sightsee
ing far more enjoyable than carriage
hire." Pacific Heights" is a moun
tain suburb whose handsome houses
attract the eye far out at sea. It
lies between two valleys and over
looks "Punch Bowl"" an extinct
crater, whose top shows grass and
foliage and cultivated spots. An
electric railway connecting wi^ the
city system winds up the Heights
nearly a thousand feet. This ride
was charming and tho views from
the summit magnificent, and all
other "show places", grow pale in
comparison. Before you the Pacific
reaching far and wide. At your
right, mountains of different bights
overlapping one another with sides
one mass of shaded foliage where
gloom and grauduro and silence
reign. Jungles of wild growth ap
pear in the distanco and pasture
ands slope to the base of the moun
tains. Dwellings of farmers and
dairymon add variety to the scene,
while below on the slopo and valley
are vegetable gardens from our
point of view tlioy seem like tho
smallest patches and so divided and
sub-divided are they that they seem
like "green crazy quilts". Waikiki
Beach at the foot of tho Diamond
Head is a noted resort. Hotels with
ample rooms are not wanting. We
pass tho former residence of Queen
"Lil". Scjiools and colleges are
noticeablo and a museum is ono of
the attractions parks are frequent
and we pass the government nursery,
also banana orchards, rice fields,
fields of sugar cane, beautiful homes
half hidden by tropiial foliage,
while hedges of hibiscus line the
way. Wo had planned to stop at
this island a weok or more, but by
so doing should miss passage on
this fine ship, cqnsoquontly decided
to see what we could soo in one day,
nnd deferred our visit. Thero was
much of worth to notice on the
street. The "Mother Hubbard"
dress seems adnpted to them and
they wear it with a truly native
grace. The high class natives lack
neither style or color, most were
dressed in white and many were
fine looking, and there are the
Chinese and Japs and the mixed
population which ever way you
looked and taking all into consider
ation it appears to me to be a very
peculiar corner of theso United States
of America.
But then the sight seer, with
greedy eyes, becomes weary before
the spirit calls a halt, thus with us
before the
BUII
was lost back of the
everlasting hills, we slowly took our
way to the ship, our home for the
present. Oh how I like the sea with
its blue black foam tipped waves,
how beautiful when at rest, how
grand when storms disturb and
mountains high they dash one
another, lashing tho ship that falls
in their way.
February iltli. Wo were on dock
for a last view of this island city
While waiting to heaV the signal for
starting we could but notice tho
dark cloud that overhung the city
like a black wall before us, was it
ominous? Suddenly a rift in the
blackness, and tho orb that centuries
ago answered, "Let there bo light,"
appeared in all its brilliancy, dis
persing clouds and forebodings to
me it was a good omen suggesting
that in due season we should an
chor in safe waters. Tlio usual
commotion of again "setting sail"
was enacted, crowds waving hand
kerchiefs, swinging of hats, smiles,
team, flowers, adieus, and wo were
lookers on. Again the last whistle
the ship moves—we are at sea.
Sometime in tho forenoon we pass
the island of Kanai it appeared very
fertile, chief industry the cultivation
of sugar cane, sugar mills are in
sight and little villages, houses all
of one pattern, homes of the work
men. Nice homes appear amid trees
and foliage.
One thing strikes me as singular
and unnecessary, so many people
keep their rooms so late in the
morning, must have their coffee be
fore leaving their beds or can think
of dressing. As for us, wo are up
and out on deck one and one-half
hours before breakfast, which is
served at 8:30. Thus you see old
habits cling to us no matter what
the environments may be.
Coffee and toast are served at
a. m. or before, and really 1 meals
are served daily, of course the mid
time course is light as well as the
9 o'clock p. m. lunc. A great vari
ety of food is served at tho three
regular meals and many of the dish
es relish very well. There iB quite
a library and it is well patronized.
A voyage without a mascot would
not be considered, but we are doub
ly in li ck with ours, two little war
riors, one is two months old going
to the Philippines, the other is four
months old and is on the way to
Pekin.
Wednesday tho 10th. Sea rough
more or less all day and many are
sick enough to keep their beds,
and others aro truly ill We had
only slight symptoms, how glad we
are to escape, I can scarcely under
stand it. At night the sea was not
calm, but we slept well for all tho
sea rolls, and the vessel creaks,
faith in the ship and Captain and
trust in the Most High that stilled
the tempest centuries ago.
The rough weather continued two
days and nights but nothing to
what we saw in the Atlantic.
We are feeling well, and although
the voyage continues six days, beforo
touching at Yokohoma (where this
well bo mailed) we are not tiled of
it.
Tho 13th of tho month by my
Almanac was dropped, lost as we
approached the 180th meridian, and
in place of Saturday, Sunday was
observed. Services were held in
Social Hall.
The 15th day brought good
weather and a tournament, sort of a
climax to the deck games very inter
esting to those caring for sucli
sports. One feature was, "The tug
of war" by ladies, an illustration of
an-out-of-place-game, for several are
half sick by reason of it.
February 16th. Early on deck,
and the first sound that greeted us
was what appeared to be the firing of
100 guns at sunrise, but no, nothing
as American as that, it proved to be
the Chinese New Years morning and
the joy of the Celestials were made
known through the medium of noise
from many fire crackers, and why
should they not celebrate one of their
national events though far from
home, that they love so well. Leav
ing that, we witnessed the grandest
sight since sailing. A morning
rainbow, one that could not be sur
passed on land or sea, such vivid
coloring over the dark waters with
the gentlest showers about, us, and
this leads me to say, just now it
seems as though the ship was the
center of creation, around which all
things must revolve.
As the morning wore away tho
halls seemed thick with mysteries,
an air of obscurity was taking root
was it the mutterings of war, did it
precede mutiny? Noon time passed
and lo! a small car load of white
goods found their way in the midst
of an amazed people. Then from
all quarters came matron and maid
en and busy fingers plied scores of
needles-, and the forms those goods
assumed were to be later develop
ments. After sunset, nnd when
bright the lamps shone from pro
menade to hurricane deck, white
robed figures flitted quietly from
room and passage way to upper
heights and there were also glimps
es of scarlet, and flowers and gay
sashes: Soon music arose and the
audience gathered and spell bound,
listened and watched for now the
secret was out, we looked upon a
masked ball. How any such en
tertainment could flouridi indepen
dent of tho outside world passeth
understanding. Never before in
history, ancient or modern, was
sheet or pillow case called to deck
the form with such effect. Oh
could I name the visions that floated
before us in the mazy dance. Moth
er Hubbard gown, and father
Hubbard as well, sleeping beauties
awoke, white terrors and terrors in
white, the three graces double mask
ed, pretty and the reverse, nymphs,
fairies, ballet dancers and dancers
independent. Huhi dancers from
Samoa, upper part of dress pink
panjama, skirt of wild grass, head
and waist decked with the gayest of
flowers, a unique figure, six feet
tall aud well proportioned, manners
in harmony with assumed character.
surmounted by scarlet jacket The
troubadour in his own peculiar style,
Chinamen in their well beloved suits
of blue and graceful braids, although
rather hemp colored, and all merry
as a marriage bell. At a lato hour
masks were removed and not until
then did wc realize who was who.
Tho ollicers encourage entertain
ments to nmuso, the guests, and
tho second oflicer is supposed to bo
the manager of such spoilt. Tlu-y
aro very gracious and no one has
cause for complaint either of ollicers
or servants.
Tho sea air is doing wonders for
us as well as for others, and we are
feeling well. The day is beautiful,
so warm and comfortable. It is
now 1 :.'!0 o'clock p. in., lunch
over, the Dr., who is librarian, lias
given out tho books, some aro road
ing, others are at cards and one poor
mortal is trying lo finish a letter
ideas seem scarce, the quietness of
tho day is not indueivc to literary
brilliancy, and is just. the time tu
