Mannwa'n Auspicious Opening.
As previously announced , yesterday was
the time set for the opening of Hotel do
Manawa and the lake generally for the sea
son of 16S9. During tlio day but few visitors
took advantage of tno half-hourly trips of
the Manawa motor trains to visit the lake ,
owing to the dust and strong wind , and at 5
o'clock there were very few people to bo
scon of the grat crow.l that was oxpjuted.
At that time , however , the wind foil con
siderably , and soon after the stream of
humanity began to flow toward the lako.
Until utter II o'clock the south bound oars
were tilled to overflowing and cumo back
empty for other loads that were waiting to
follow. The hotel was hardly to be recog
nised in its bright , now colors , and the great
Improvements about the grounds In the way
of walks , lawn , shade trees , etc. , combined
to render more complete the wonderful
transformation eftccted thcro since last sea
son. Landlord Tninisica was seemingly
present everywhere , looking after the
comfort of each and every guest.
It was evident at first glnncn that hn was the
man for the plnco , and thoroughly under
stood the art of conducting a summer resort
hotel in n manner to satisfy oven the numer
ous demands of a critical public.
It was not , however , until the doors of the
dining hall were thrown open at ( io'clockthat
the full realization of the fitness of mine host
for his position dawned upon the minds of
the assembled hundreds. It was like entering
another sphere. The decorations of the room
weio of a nature both unique nnd beautiful.
Opposite the dour was n largo "Welcome , "
wrought In 'tvorgreens , upon the wall , and
upon ull sides , as well a : from the coiling ,
wora artistically arranged tlguros la Jap
anese funs and parasols. The laruu pillar in
the center of the room was almost hidden
from vlow behind u mass of vines nnd llcw-
crs. On the tables and in various places
about the room wcra groups of cut flowers
and potted plants , the whole burdening the
air with a rich and delicious fragrance.
Covers wcro laid for a hundred guests , and
waiting to attend to thnir wants were a
do/en colored waiters , faultlessly attired.
It wus a sc'cijo not soon to bo forgotten by
thu-favorcd ones , whoso uycs Ural fell upon
Itbeforo thn rush and hurry of hungry
guests had marred Its nerfoc.t arrangement.
The menu was most elaborate and was got
ten up In u highly artistic nnd pleasing mun-
m\r \ , and the guests carried them awuy us
beautiful souvenirs of the occasion.
Space forbids extended mention of the
countless hikclous dishns prepared by the
capable chuf. Dinner was served to the
constantly nrrlvldg guests until after 0
o'clock. KarJy in the livening the parlors
wore cleared for danrlng , nnd until long
uftoy midnight the visitors tripped the light
fantastic to the delightful strains of 1'rof ,
Halter's orchottra , which furnished muslo
for the afternoon and uvenlng.
Over two hundred people were present from
Oiriului , nnd oxprcssud their umumlllicd delight -
light and appreciation.
The ocraMori w.is more than was expected ,
and opens the season at the lake in a manner -
nor so fur in lulvunce of nil former attempts
us to admit of no comparison , There was u
noticeable absence of disreputable or unwel
come characters , nnd thU feature will char-
DCtcrl/.o 'tho season of IHiO ut Manawa.
An an owning tho. occasion was an unquali
fied suci'oss , nnd ns a pleasant loclnl event It
wus far biipcilor to many more pretentious
affairs In swelldom. Landlord Tarnlsu-a and
his most estimable wife are to bo congratu
lated on the Hucccsb crowning their efforts ,
uud the ploaiuru-lovlng public may congrat
ulate Itself on the auspicious outlook for it
comfort and enjoyment for the coining
svason ,

CUnilENT LiirEltATURE.
Tun PIIF.TTY SISTKU or Josi : , by Frances
Hodgson Uurnett. Charles Scrlbner's
Sons , Now York.
The author of "Littlo Lord Fauntlo-
roy" has created a great reputation for
herselfand in this , her latest novel , it
is fully sustained. This is a bright
romance in which the passionate nature
of the Spaniard Is delineated with picturesque -
turesquo ollect. The scene is laid
in Madrid. The heroine , Popitiitt self-
willed , tempestuous girl of the humbler
class , when introduced to the reader , is
possessed of a vivacious and joyous na
ture , with a distinct antipathy to the
amorous overtures she is continually re
ceiving from the men in her neighbor
hood , owing to her fascinating beauty.
In spite of this avowed antipathy , however -
over , she at length surrenders her
heart , after a very obstinate struggle.to
the superior power of Sobastiano , the
favorite matador of Madrid. Popita's
behavior to Sobastiano would discour-
ngo an American lover , but her appar
ent coldness only fans the llamo of the
Spaniard's passion , yet ho at ono time
loses all hope , owing to Popitn's unpre
cedented conduct at a bull Herat. When
Sobastiano.ut the most exciting moment
of tlio conflict , throws the doviua into
Popita's lap. she deliberately scorns the
honor by publicly stamping on the rib
bon. This action on her part is possi
ble , no doubt , but bearing in mind the
fact that she was a true Spaniard , such
treatment of the dovi'aa appears voryim
probable.
The humbling of Popita'aproud spirit
and the ultimate avowal of her fierce
love for Sebastiano , is beautifully told.
The splendor and excitement of a bull
light in Madrid is graphically described ,
The plot is not peculiar for any origin
ality , except in the dramatic intensity
of the incidents developing it. The
story is related with the piquancy and
agreeable simplicity bp characteristic
of the author. The illustrations are
good in design , but the engraving is
poor.
Divoucn , or FAITIIFUI. AND UNTAmtrui , , by
Margaret Leo ; Frank F. Lovell & Co. ,
New York ,
The plaintive cry , "Is marriage a fail
ure ? " has become wearisome oy the
monotony of repetition. Ono man's af
firmative is answered by another man's
negative , and so the controversy is sus
tained without much benefit to society
in general. 'Margaret Leo , iu this
novel , has apparently desired to show
what a terrible failure can bo made of
marriage under certain conditions. Tlio
heroine , Constance , is high souled and
sensitive , with a sweet disposition
altogether a very lovable girl though
hardly a reality in this so-called prac
tical itiie. Her purity of purpose shines
resplendent , resembling some star con
spicuous for its brightness in an atmos
phere reeking with subdued immoral
ity , where separations and divorces arc
discussed as lightly as a change in the
weather. Such is the New York society
in which Constance moves. Un fortu
nately , she passionately loves Gilbert
Travcrs , a very handsome , magnetic
and intellectual man , but also a mass of
egotism and selfishness. Ho finally
dovclopes into a repulsive brute. Con-
stunco is young and invests him with
all the attributes of her ideal ; she
marries him solely bccauso of her great
love for him ; ho marries her for
love of himself. Such a union is
productive of the usual results. When
the husband's passions arc aroused by
the fascinations of another woman ,
Constance , unable to cast out love for
her husband , suffers inconceivable tor
tures. Ho deceives her to the end ,
when the refinement of cruelty is at
tained by his contemptible method of
obtaining a divorce without her knowl
edge.
The story certainly illustrates the
evils oxi&ting in society of the present
day , but the public require no novel to
impress that fact , as the law courts fur
nish ample opportunity for studying our
social immorality. The author oilers
no remedy for the disease , but only la
ments the legal facilities for obtaining
divorces.
From the incidents related , it is diffi
cult to ducido as to the merits or do-
mcritu of "Divorce Made Easy. " Matri
mony is undoubtedly a very serious and
sacred compact ; its success must depend
on the behavior of the contracting par
ties themselves. The evil in man can
seldom bo cured by legislation. To
those who enjoy an illustration of a
spreading social epidemic , this novel
will prove acceptable. Prefatory to the
story is an interesting review of IU.

AN 1. D. It. IN SOUTH ArniCA By Louise
Vcfci-rtllus Sheldon. Frank F. Lovett Si
Co. , Now York.
Refused Two Future { 'rcelilnnts.
Among the r curious coincidences
gathered by the Roligio-Philosophical
Journal is that two girls from the same
small Ohio villingo rejected two future
presidents of the United States , and
both for the eamo cause poverty.
Hayoo was ono of the suitors , but the
parents of the girl opposed the match
on the ground that ho showed hardly
sulllcient ability to warrant trusting
their girl iu his care. Gnrfield paid at
tentions to the other , and again the
parents objected that his future pros
pects were none too bright. Bedford ,
the village in question did not at that
time contain elK ) inhabitants. But in
Ohio a girl runs great risks of refusing
a president when she declines any hultor
whatever. The coincidence would bo
stronger if it had occurred in some stnto
where the lightning strikes less unex
pectedly.

Special to TUB Bnn.J From trsource which ,
though excellent I hnow.'fVW notntllhcrty
toiiuoto , Inm enabled to > { ire cnt to you nn
approximate ! estimate of the rms that would
satisfy Ocrmany In the Solution of the Samoan -
moan cllfllculty. 'It cnnnot 'bo > 'dcnlod , nor Is
It denied by Americans wbq haVe been in the
Island , thnt Germany lias invested more
money thrco times as npcl } money they
claim In Samoa as bothiiEtiRlnnd rtnd the
United States taitcn together. What the
Gorman government therefore claims Is , In
the first place , satisfaction for the killing of
the German ofllccrs nnd sailors In the action
with Mntnafn's men on December 17 lost ;
and , secondly , compensation for losses * sus
tained by German investors nnd own
ers of plantations. If , therefore ,
the United States will purchase .tho planta
tions owned by the German company , or the
Siimonns themselves purchase the planta
tions , payment being guaranteed by the
United States , Germany will not maUo the
slightest objection to the Installation of
Mnllctoa or some ono of the minor chiefs not
hitherto named , Tntnnscsco having no follow *
inn nud Mntnnfu being utterly out of the
question from the German standpoint. The
stnto of war , too , still nominally existing ,
they will probably tirgo the punishment of
Mataafa , say by Imprisonment fcr n tlmo on
board the German man-of-war or on the
iblnnd under the German ling. Tnoy may
wnlvo this condition In consideration of
n , round sum being paid the
widows , orphans or nearest relations
of the Germans slain on the Island. The
third condition , equally ncccptablo to each of
the thrco powers , IB that the thrco col
lectively guarantee ; the neutrality ot Samoa.
In other words , Germany wishes to save the
stake in the islands , and it would perhaps bo
the wisest policy on the part of the United
States to accept this , after nil , simplest solu
tion of the dllllctilty , nnd by well timed con
cessions to Germany's tender sense of honor
nnd solicitude for the welfare of her col
onists , make friends of bur foievcr.
Well Informed German ! ; assure mo that
Count Herbert Bismarck had not the slight
est Intention of Impressing the English-
speaking members ol the conference with u
sense of the greatness of Gcrmuny at the ex
pense of their own fueling when ho mndo
that famous speech In French ut the begin
ning of the coiifeiem-e. Ha was obliged ,
though ho speaks English like an English
man , to uphold his right to UHO French as
the language of diplomatic Intercourse. If
ho had opened the conference In English the
Spaniards , Italians , Portuguese and Uus-
Bians might have pointed to the precedent as
justitlc.ition of their right to use their own
language with which ho might not be equally
familiar at some future conference. Nor is
it true that the two American members of
the conference wcro entirely Ignorant of
that language. Phclps spoke that language
in diplomatic Intercourse ! at the Austrian
court , and Uatcs himself assured mo that ho
understood almost every word the count ut
tered on that memorable occasion.
At the presentation of colors last Thurs
day morning to the First regiment foot
guards , Kusson , Phclps nnd Hates were in
evening dress mid I understand that the
kaiser was graciously pleased to express his
regret at tbo iron rule that insists on that
costume on such occasions ns u substitute
for tua full uniform. Amid that largo crowd
of imperial guests , attired'Olio nnd nil in uni
forms of every hue of the rainbow , the
American representatives /nttmeted pener.il
notice by the republican siinwlcity of their
uttirc. It is safe to say that if ever thrco
American diplomatists regretted the absence
of diplomatic uniform in the American ser
vice , these three gcntlomcq didj Two young
naval ofllcors , Huckingham mnd Parker ,
were In full uniform , cocked huts and all ,
and u couple of Immlsouicr young follows
could scarcely have bjecn picked out
to do Uncle Sam's service credit.
While it is well known that England's
leanings in the conference are 7towards Ger
many , on that vexed question of n secret un
derstanding concerning Tongi , Sir Edward
maintained ur. obstinate .silence. He ex-
p.reased himself , howevcrMJn a very kindly
manner' regarding the favorable impression
produced upon himself and others nt the
conference by their American colleagues.
Sir Edward and there was no better Judge
in the matter is inclined to think that an
other month will see the labors of the con
ference ended. He had met Mr. ICnsson be
fore at the Congo conference when both o *
them represented their respective countries.
In Sir Edward's library there lies on n lit
tle spider table near the window n large folio
containing , in all the glory of gilt edges und
mncrnillcent printing , the minutes of the
Congo conferenco. When the Herald asked
Sir Edward about how often theSamoan con-
fcrcni'c would sit , ho turned to this book ,
und after consulting it , said he believed that
now as at the Congo conference , all matters
ot detail would bo referred to a sub-com
mittee. "The Congo conference , " he re
marked , ' 'only sat ten times during those
three months. Five or six sittings , there
fore , will , in all probability , sufllco to settle
the Satnoan matter. "
Nothing could have been more eminently
gracious than the manner in which Count
Histnarck received the guests at the dinner
the other day in the pavilllon of the
foreign oflltc , where ho makes his home.
When thu time for leave taking cumo and
it was a late ono , for Count Herbert is u
host who will not be deniedho walked across
the large garden with each ono of thu ileuart-
Ing guests , while In the great trees that sur
round the house the siren voices of great num
bers of nightingales poured forth a volume
of sweet melody to enchant the ears of Uncle
Sam's republican representatives. Some
people have ventured to assert that when the
emperor issued his Invitation to the Ameri
cans to attend the parade ut Potsdam , ho did
so with u vlow to imprcBshiir them with a
sense of the military power of the emperor.
If so , ho certainly succeeded. "Nowhere In
the world , " said ono of the naval ofilcors at
tached to the commission , "can you see such
absolute precision of movement , such largo
musses of men so deftly and skilfully han
dled. "

with It voting power. Of this they nro snld
to have actually appropriated no less than
