Major Mortimer A. Higley and wife of
Cedar Jlaplds , In. , are In the city visiting
at the home of F. A. Nichols on Spencer
street. They are just returning from a
trip to the Hawaiian Islands , for the past
four months having spent a delightful trip
through the paradise of the Pacific ocean.
"God might have made a more beautiful
country , " as Dlnliop licrkley says , "but he
did not , " remarlccd the returning pilgrims
to the famed Islands of ttio mlil-1'aclflc.
The government of Hawaii , Major Hlg-
Icy says , Is copied after that of the United
States. "They have a thoroughly organized
republic In every particular. Hut the moro
Intelligent classea realize that It Is provis
ional necessarily. The sentiment In favor
of annexation Is strong. The most kindly
feelings are cherished toward the United
States among the natives , as well as the
rest of the population. I predict that If the
United States does not annex the Islands
Japan will. You know what the effect of
the late war was on Japan. It made her
jubilant and self-confident. She has 40,000
allies tn the Island In the persons of Japa
nese who have settled there. Ilesldes , the
Japanese are restless under the Hawaiian
govrnmcnt , because the government doei
not allow the orientals to participate In
affairs. The balance of the population ,
however , are allowed to vote. They are only
placed under a property and educational
qualification. Yes , I think that If the
United States docs not take control of the
Islands during the course of the next ad
ministration Japan will. Hut I think thai
the Hawaltans realize the complexity of the
problem and arc In favor of coming In as o
territory , and not as a state. President
Dole of the republic told mo that ho Is Ir
favor of annexation , and many of the most
prominent royalists are also , Including Cunv
mlngs , the leader of the rebellion , who Is
now under $30,000 bonds , and the Engllsl :
guardian of Princess Kaulanl , who has beer
n pronounced royalist , has lately expresses
himself to the effect that annexation Is tin
only salvation for the Islands. In the Unltec
States wo huvo many Hawaiian exiles. Thej
are unanimously In favor of annexation , a. ' .
It would result In the restoration of theli
rights. "
PRESIDENT DOLE.
President Dole Is described by Major Hlg
ley as a quiet , unassuming gentleman o
New England extraction , though born In tin
Islands. In personal appearance he com
pares him to S. II. II. Clark of the Unloi
Pacific. During the rebellion his braver ;
was severely -tested. When the govern
mcnt house was being attacked Preslden
Dole boldly faced the crowd of Insurgents
Ho Is a man of broad views who realize
the Impossibility of the Hawaiian Island
sustaining their Independent position am
consequently he favors annexation.
Major Higley speaks In high terms of th
popularity of Minister Willis , and state
that ho believes that ho Is winning th
government friends. The Thurston aflat
lie summed up by briefly stating that 1
was evident that TlmrUon and Qreshai :

Regarding the people of the Islands , I
may bo said of them that they are a docll

beauty. The natlvo has , llko the Nort
American Indian , been willing to sell hi
rights to tlio whites , and they have const
qucntly obtained control of most of th
land. The wants of the natives are sin

fermented product made from the tar
root , pasty In appearance , and holds th

MKBIA TO EXCEL IN COFFEE.
Major Higley speaks of a new Industi
springing up In the Islands , which promise
to eclipse the sugar Industry. They raU
a coffee berry called Xona , which Is toda
quoted 2 cents higher In the London ma :
ket than the Java or Mocha grades.
The soli of the Islands is of a reddle

Of the two Important harbors , Honolu
and Pearl harbor , Major Higley says tin
the latter , twelve miles from Honolulu ,
the one In which the United States has
roadstead. In these two harbors all tl
vessels of the world could float. The In
portanco to the United States of the Pea
harbor as a coaling station cannot bo eve
estimated , especially should the Nlcaragut
canal bo built , as It then would lie In

anxious to have a cable constructed , and

II. Dlmond , Is organized and pushing t !

Honolulu Is described by th * travelers ;
ft place of about 25.000 population. Tl
buildings are low. The school facilities a
excellent , a Mrs. Bishop of royal llnea
having several years ago left $480,000 f

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
Il r. Dr. Wheeler on America' ! Urontent
DnnRfir Which lie G'nlli Inflilnlltjr.
Yesterday forenoon at 11 o'clock Rev. Dr.
Wheeler , pastor of the First Presbyterian
church , preached a sermon on "Infidelity. "
In brief , Dr. Wheeler tald :
A people In translation from the bondage
of Egypt to seats of power In the new gov
ernment of Israel , from whoso common *
wealth In future years should be given to
men the wisest phllosphy , the ablest juris
prudence , an unequaled military , art , sci
ence , painting , music and schools that
such a people should worship a golden calf
Is pitiable , and then sit down to cat and
rise up to play , forgetful of all usual con
victions , while the pillar of cloud trembled
above them , a sign of God's faithfulness In
leadership and protection.
Only one pin Is potent enough to produce
such a result , and that Is the sin of willful
unbelief. Our history U not less marvelous
In Its genesis , In present possession or In
the expectation of future greatness , than
that of the Hebrew nation. From the days
of the Pilgrim fathers to the days of Drover
Cleveland our has been a forward inarch ,
which neither foreign foe nor civil war
could check , and drunken with the pride
of our glory we are threatened with danger
from the fruits of our disobedience toward
God and contempt of his commandments.
America's danger Is from her refined and
aristocratic Infidelity , which admits there Is
a God , but he Is a foolish one , and we are
wiser than to keep a holy Sabbath , and we
make It a day of pleasure and dissipation.
God's law of temperance and chastity In
our superior wisdom we annul and by our
system of license and lines fill our treasury
boxes and bow down to the calf of gold ,
while our populous centers tremble under
the weight of municipal corruption , fraud
and extortion. It Is time to return to the
convictions of our dad-loving fathers , for a
nation that will make a race track or base
ball ground on tlio burial ground of her
heroes and take the hours set apart for
decorating their graves to spend In animal
pleasures end sensual sports Is swiftly for
getting the God that brought them out of
their political Egypt.

WAS A YEAR OF GOOD WORK
Anniversary of tha Young Men's ' Christian
Association Celebrated Yesterday.
INCREASED ACTIVITY IN ALL LINES SHOWN
Addresses by Her. 8. K. Jemup of Now
York and Major Ilnltont Leading
Fucts n * to the Hmlentor
In the Departments.
The Sunday afternoon meeting at the Young
Men's Christian association rooms yesterday
celebrated the anniversary of the association
and aroused somewhat more than the usual
Interest on that account. The board of di
rectors occupied seats on the rostrum with
the speakers , and the large auditorium was
filled , In spite of the rain which preceded
the opening hour.
Secretary Ober presided and Introduced
Rev. S. K. Jesup of New York , who spoke
briefly on "Character. " He took the ground
that his hearers , like himself , were all day
laborers In this world. They were all buildIng -
Ing character. Upon how they built and
the materials that they used depended
whether the completed structure amounted to
anything. Character was a bundle of graces ,
If they wished to leave an Influence In the
community In which they lived and a name
that should bo honored and respected they
should so build their character that when
trials came they should be able to bear them.
The most Important essential In this work
of character building was the material of
which the foundation was constructed. Of
these the most Important were honesty , per
sonal purity , temperance and Christian man
liness. A man might have any one of these
virtues and not be a Christian , but ho could
not be a Christian unless he had them all.
The anniversary address was delivered by
Major Halford , who briefly re\le\\ed the work
of tha last jcar and outlined what was to
be attempted in the future. At the end of
the year the membership roll of the asso
ciation contained 1,230 names , of which 4C3
were those of active members. Financially
the association had more than held Its own
In spite of the hard times and the outlook
was very encouraging. The athletic features
of the organization had been much Improved.
The new park at Twenty-eighth and Dodge
streets was much more accessible than the
old grounds , and an Increasing Interest was
manifested tn this department.
One of the most encouraging features of the
year was the Increased Interest In the Junior
department. About fifty boys were In at
tendance at the Sunday afternoon boys' meetIng -
Ing , and they were uniformly enthusiastic
and devoted.
The educational department was constantly
Improving. During the year the various
classes had included 317 members , and the
directory was contemplating measures to
broaden the scope of this department.
The religious work of the association had
fully kept pace with Its other Interests ,
There had been on average attendance ol
over 300 at the Sunday afternoon meetings
for young men , and these were becoming one
of the most helpful features -of the work ,
The bible classes and consecration meetings
had had a vivifying Influence on the religious
atmosphere and were well supported.
In the Intervals between the addresses
Mr. Thomas J. Pennell sang "Come Untc
Me , " and Mrs. Wllhelm sang "Come Over tin
Llns. "
NUW IK > TiCDST : SADLY M
Whit bnnclnv Swrnion lit tlio Church of tin
Good Shciihprit r.-iHt i'\on nj ; .
Rev. J. P. D. Llwyd of the Church of tin
Good Shepherd took for the subject of hli
sermon last evening "Tho New Pentecost. '
The substance of his remarks was as fol
lows :
From ono point of view the great fes
tlvals of the church , such as the prcsen
Feast of Pentecost or Whit Sunday , repre
sent historic events which happened one
for all In ancient days In Palestine. Fron
another point of view enshrining an en.ua
truth these festivals are ever repeated , botl
In the progress of the church as a whol
and In the soul life , of Individual Christians
Pentecost Is thus the remembrance of i
past event , and also the reminder that th
same face which then descended upon th
waiting disciples of Christ Is forever belni
poured out Into souls prepared for Its en
trance.
When we examine the spiritual attain
ments of the dlsclplesi before Pentecost i
Is hard to see why any further erjulpmen
for their work was necessary. Tor thre
years they had been companions of Chrlsl
They had received from His lips the gospe
to be preached. Their commission had bee
Issued by Him. Within their souls Ills pot
trait lay as In a mirror. Engraved upo
their hearts was the Impression of His mai
velous life. Scarcely any church fn Chris
tendom today would ask a grander educe
tion for Its candidates for the ministry
The main features of the kingdom's orgar
Izatlon and the plan of campaign had als
been communicated to them by Christ. An
yet He sentences them , In spite of all tlili
to wait for something further , some tnys
terlous power from above , without whlc
all else was Inadequate. Not until tl )
spirit was poured out from on high was tl :
armor of the church of Christ complete.
The present age shows a remarkable pai
allel to this. Scientific discoveries have re\
olutlonlzed our notions of the universe. Tl
Investigations of Independent seekers afti
truth In every branch of learning hav
brought In a new knowledge. The church ) u
been sometimes misguided enough to antagi
nlzo such researches from fear least lit
truth might suffer , but experience has demoi
strated the unwisdom of such policy. F :
better to welcome these new truths and a
tempt the restatement of the old gospel I
forms modified to meet the modern neei
This attempt has been and Is being mad
The ago of revision Is upon us. The da
of authorized versions Is past. We have
revised and reinterpreted blb'e , a prayi
bcok enriched In elements of devotion ; In
possible creeds are being abandoned ; tl
gospel Is the same , yet stated In terms i
present day thinking ; salvation Is no longi
refined selfishness , but brotherhood. Ever ;
thing In church life and church ways e :
cmpllfles the abiding presence of Him w !
Is forever making all things new.
This Is a grand result , but not enoug
In Itself a readjusted church will nevi
rival the conversions under Peter's electr
words oU the day of Pentecost. The or
thing yet lacking Is a fresh commtintcatk
of divine energy. All Is useless without tl
touch of the soul of God upon the soul i
man. For this wo wait ; for this vse ougl
to pray. And when our preparation for
Is complete It will come , bringing In I
train creative force to turn every preachi
Into an Inspired apostle and every laynia
Into a steadfast helper of the kingdom i
God.

Cake walks and orap-shootlng parties arc
not popular In mldtlls.-class colored society
In Washington Justmov. ' , says the New York
Sun , Getting married free of cost Is their
latest "fad. " The local authorities have en
tered upon a vigorous enforcement of the so-
called Edmunds act , which prohibits people
living together as jnan and wife who have
neglected to go through the formalities ol
a legal marriage. .This law was framed to
stamp out polygamy In the territories. The
law Is now held to be applicable In the Dis
trict of Columbia.
For more than a week past the police have
been filling the police court dally with of
fenders against this law , the largo majority
of them being colored people. Many of the
victims , when brought Into court , declared
that they did not have the price of the
marriage license $1 nor the fee for the
minister. On several occasions the hat has
been passed among the lawyers In court
and the ceremony then and there performed.
Finally the presiding Judge declared that he
was tired of having the court business In
terfered with by these frequent marriages ,
and he threatened to enforce the la\f to
Its fullest extent In the future.
A few days ago the owner of a mornlnp
newspaper came forward and volunteered
to furnish the necessary marriage licenses ,
the parson , and a place for the ccremonj
to bo performed , for all who desired tc
marry , and thus advertise his paper. The
glad tidings spread rapidly among thom \ -
pccunlous colored population , and the Im
provised matrimonial market Is doing a
thriving business dally. A room has beer
fitted up In the top story of the ncwspapei
office , and a colored minister has been civ
gaged to como there at certain hours am'
tlo the nuptial knot for all who desire tc
take advantage of the opportunity to be
legally married. The scones in and arouni
tha matrimonial mart are amusing to the
throng of spectators. There stands nr
ebony-hued minister , who Is proUded will
an almost Inexhaustible supply of niarrlagi
licenses for all comers , black or white
The most of the business Is done after ' .
or 5 o'clock In the afternoon , when the
participants have finished their day's work
Among the candidates for matrlmonla
honors the other evening were Wlso Browt
and Llzzlo Smith and Robert Lee and Vic
torla Queen. Some of the bridal partle :
wore decked out In all the colors of tin
rainbow , with a little dash of orange bios
soins on the side. John Logan and Allc <
Jackson looked as though they had walkcc
many miles to legalize their union , and the ;
were about to Join a group and "repea
on the minister , " so pleased were they will
the ceremony. Reuben Holmes and Mamli
Thompson had evidently been "coached" to
the ceremony , for they went through tin
performance with less embarrassment nn <
awkwardness than the average couple
When the rush became fast and furlou :
ho parson did not "splice" one couple a
a time , but ho directed them tn bunche
of four and five to stand up and take thcl
marriage vows.
Thus far nine-tenths of these marriage
have been among colored people , many o
whom have been living together In an un
married state for years. They arc hurrylni

In which ho stated that he would sail fe
Japan In a very short time.
Nothing fuillier was heard from Oldei
ImiiBcn until a few days ago , when Mr. Bui
dick iccelved an Invitation to the weddin
of Mr Conrad Oldenhausen and Miss Aim

accompanied the Invitation tells the tal
Oldenhausen says In his letter that he salle
for Japan as he had stated In his last le
ter , that the vessel In which he sailed vu
wrecked , and for fourteen days lie wt
adrift In an open boat with scarcely enoug
food and water to keep him alive. That e
the fifteenth day ho ran across another boa
similar to the one which kept him afloa
and that boat contained a young lady. The
managed to get the boats alongside eac
other and lashed together. His companion
boat was well supplied with provisions , ar
after drifting for four days they were picke
up by an English vessel bound for Australl
They reached port In due time and took tl
first steamer for this country. Mr. Eslayn
who , according to the letter. Is a wealtl
New Yorker , after hearing their adventure
accepted Oldenhausen as a son-in-law ar
secured him emplovraent as a dock Inspo

turning , In company with an uncle , fro
Japan , when their vessel was wrecked. Othi
boat loads of passengers escaped from tl

WILL ARGUE IT AT ST , PAUL
Maximum Freight Rate Oao Gomes Up for
Hearing en Appeal Today ,
QUESTION OF JURISDICTION RAISED
State I'repnretl nt Once to Go to the
Supreme Court If Court of ApneaU
Decide * It Cannot Hear the
Case The Uriel.
John L. Webster , counsel for the state In
the maximum rate case now pending In the
federal court of appeals , left last evening
for St. Paul. Today ho will appear before
Judges Thaycr , Caldwell and Sonborn of the
United States court at St. Paul and argue for
an Immediate hearing of the appeal ,
Mr. Webster said , Just as he was preparing
to depart last evening : "The question has
keen raised as to whether or not the United
States court of appeals has jurisdiction to
licar the case. It Is claimed by the at
torneys representing the railways that the
Nebraska maximum rate law Is In contra
vention of the constitution of the United
States and takes property without due pro
cess of law. To protect the Interests of the
state the records have been prepared to
take the case direct to the United States supreme
premo court , In event the federal court of
appeals decides that It has no Jurisdiction. "
The brief filed In behalf of the state sets
up the following claims :
That the maximum rates fixed by the stat
ute law of Nebraska arc amply compensa
tory.
tory.That
That said maximum rates will yield a
revenue to the loads sufficient to pay the
operating expenses nirtl a percentage of
profit or dividend on the value of the re
spective roads.
That In determining the value of the re
spective roads the capitalization of the roads
Is not the criterion of value , but such value
Is to bo determined as the' value of other
properties Is to bo determined , to-wlt : by the
cost of reproduction , or the market value.
That the existing local rates In Nebraska
are 40 per cent higher than the local rates
In adjoining states similarly situated , and
that the reduction made by the Nebiaska
statute Is only 2 J\ \ * > per cent on the existing
local rates. .
That existing local rates In Nebraska yield
a piofit of neatly 100 ptr cent over the cost
of transportation on the principal defendant
roads.
That the table of profits and deficits set
out In the opinion of the circuit coutt Is
erroneous In this : That Is assumes that
with a reduction of lates there would not
arise an Increased tonnage which would In
crease the revenues ; whereas , the proofs
arc that the reduction of rates would In
crease the revenues by Increasing the ton
nage and for other reasons.
That said table Is erroneous In that It con
fines the computation to net earnings from
local freight business , excluding from consid
eration profits from passenger and Interstate" "
business , whereaa the general business and
general proflta of the defendant companies
are matters to be taken Into account In de
termining whether the rates fl\eJ by the law
are unreasonable.
That said table and the decree of the cir
cuit court are based on the theory that the
rates fixed In the Nebraska law must be
held to be unreasonable If they did not yield
a net profit to ecch of defendant roads.
Whereas , Is fact some of the defendant roads ,
as the Omaha & Republican Valley and the
St. Joseph & Grand Island , and Kansas City
& Omaha , arc subordinate or branch lines
that were constructed as feeders to main
lines , the profits from which arise from traffic
furnished and delivered to said main line ? ,
and which branch lilies wcro constructed
through sparsely fettled districts , and by such
clicultous ways that local business thereon
must always remain unprofitable , If local
rates are based on what the article will rea
sonably bear , having regard to the value of
the articles carried and the local rates In
force on the main or through lines.
That In determining whether rates are
reasonable or unreasonable It Is proper to
take Into account the amount of tariff charge
the articles will bear , having regard not
alone to the cost of transportation , but also
the cost of producing such articles , and their
value to the consumer ; so that the producer
may have a margin of profit and the cost to
the consumer bo not made unreasonably ex
orbitant.
That , whereas , most of the defendant roads
have received large government , etato and
municipal aid , on the theory that said roads
are governmental agencies , even though con
ducted by corporations , anJ whereas the regu
lation of rates Is n governmental control for
the benefit of trade and the people concerned.
It Is proper to consider the amount of such
government , state and municipal aid In de
termining what shall constitute reasonable
rates to be charged by said respective roads.
That , whereas , the Union Pacific Is capi
talized at four times Its actual value , and
the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Oma'aa
at twice Us actual value , the St. Joseph &
Grand Island at three times Its actual
value , and most of the other roads
at double their actual value , the
owners and ho'ders of such fictitious
capitalization must be held to have taken the
same subject to the primary right of the
state to regulate rates , anJ hence the com
plainants have no right to Insist that rates
pliall bo adjudge J unreasonable which do not
yield a largo profit on such fictitious capitali
zation.
That a court of equity should not grant
an Injunction enjoining the enforcement of the
law on the charge that the rates are unrea
sonable , for that there la an adequate remedy
at law In this : Section C of the Maximum
Freight Law In controversy provides for a
Judicial procedure to determine whether the
rates fixed thereby are unjust and unreason
able , and that If said rates are unjust and
unreasonable , to have the same raised.
Appellants deem It expedient and highly
desirable that this court shall hear thU case ,
for the reason that If this court shall find
the facts to be as contended by appellants ,
said findings will practically dispose of all
questions of law in the case and entitle the
appellants to a dissolution of the pending In
junction.

h In this way. When you see how Pearline
J has helped you , tell others and let it help
r- e them. Where a woman is trying to do
it housework in the old , hard-working ,
le.n tt rubbing way , it's actual charity to
.nat tell her about Pearline. Perhaps
16 she uses it for scrubbing , washing
dishes , etc. , but can't believe that in
ir washing clothes it can save so much work and
le
len ! wear without doing harm.
ata Your personal experience might convince
id her. That would help Pearline , to be sure
N v but think how much more it would help '

money.
