Can Do nettcr Oat of
Oflluc.
HONOLULU, Juno 23.-3overnor Carter
mailed his resignation to President Roose
velt on Wednesday. He will leave on Jun
28 for Washington to discuss the matter of
his retirement from the governorship. He
has been In cable correspondence with the
president regarding It and has received per
mission to go to the capltol for a personal
Interview.
Governor Carter says he had urged Pres
ident Roosevelt to accept his resignation
and appoint a successor. His action, it Is
declared, was not due to the election of E.
M. Brown as high sheriff, but had been un
der consideration for some time. It was
first written on June , but was withheld
on the advice of friends, 'who asked him
not to send It to Washington.
The resignation was the culmination of a
long series of events which led Governor
Carter to the conclusion that he could be
of more service to the territory of Haw-til
outside the gubernatorial chair than in thut
position.
Territorial Secretary Atkinson arrived
today from China. He had been regarded
as likely to succeed Governor Carter. This
has been found to be Impossible, as he Is
only $4 years of age, while the law requires
the governor to be at least 85 years old.
Among those mentioned as possible ap
pointees to the office are H. E. Cooper. W.
O. Smith, Edward Tonney, II. P. Baldwin

Pursuant to an order isued by Judge John
E. Carland at the February term of the
United States circuit court held in this city,
an examination of the books and accounts
of the defunct Bank of Overton, Dawes
county, at the Instance of S. L. Hardinger,
is being held before United States circuit
Court Clerk George II. Thummel as 'special
referee.
The Bank Overton went Into voluntary
liquidation three or more years ago, being
prnctically absorbed by the bank at Lex
ington, Neb. S. L. Hardinger of Missouri
was a stockholder In the Bank of Overton,
cr at least was an owner of a considerable
block of stock in the bank, at the time of
Its liquidation. G. S. Hardinger, a relative
of S. L. Hardinger, was cashier of the
bank, and held also some of the stock
In the bank.
Cashier Hardinger went to Chicago some
time before the bank went Into liquidation
and his dead body was shortly thereafter
found In Lincoln park, where evidently
he had committed suicide. Whether his
suicide had anything to do with the sub
squent action of tho bank's going into
liquidation is not clear. However, S. L.
Hardinger brought suit against the bank
and Its directors for his share of the pro
ceeds or dividends of the bank, represent
ing the amount he had Invested therein
The case has been tried In various forms
In the United States courts for two or three
years past, one feature of It finally getting
Into the United States circuit court of ap
peals. However, the present proceedings
are for an accounting and examination of
the records of the bank held at the in
stance of S. L. Hardinger to ascertain his

GREAT AMERICAN TIN CAN
Orer a Billion Turned Oat In sv Year
and Vsed for Various
Purposes.
The American Can company Is manu
facturing cans at the rate of 100.OHO.000 a
month, or 1.200.0il0,ooo a year. This is an
Increase in eight years of 6UU,000,tmO cans lu
the annual output.
This is a wonderful record when It Is
lemombercd that previous to 1850 compara
tively few cans were manufactured In
this country. The civil war gave Impetus
to the canning Industry, but even then
with the great armies In the field It was
not believed that much food could bo
trusted to tin cans. In the decade after
the war, however, experiments were mado
In every direction, and meats, fruits, vege
tables, fish and other American products
went In cans to the remotest parts of the
earth.
At the beginning of the Spanish-American
war, In lSS'S, there were 2,000 cunneries
In the United States, which put up an
nually $72,000,COO worth of canned goods.
Most of the canned goods were consumed
at homo, but the year before the war we
sent abroad canned fruits to the value of
$l,34f,281 and canned meats to the value of
$2,000,000.
Since 1892 we have been manufacturing
our own tin plate. The production of tin
and terne plates Increased from 42,119,000
pounds In 1892 to 894.411,000 pounds In 1901.
This home manufacture of tin plates gave
great Impetus to the manufacture of cans
the bulk of the American tin plate product
going to1 the: can manufacturers.
Ingenuity and activity In canmaklng ran
parallel with the Invention of new ma
chlnery and new processes for the prepa
ration of products for canning. Under
new processes nearly every food used by
families was put Into cans and became an
article of merchandise. This led to spe
cialized industries BUlted to the handling
of products grown In particular neighbor
hoods and to the exploiting of crops and
fruits suited to canning.
For example, about 3,000 fishing vessels
and 25.000 fishermen, and 2,000 oyster boats
with 20,000 men are employed on the At
lantic coast by canning establishments, and
the salmon canneries of the Pacific coast
constitute one of our great Industries.
The tin can has not only contributed
to the comfort and convenience of the
housekeeper at home and abroad, but It
has led to a revolution In the growing
of vegetables, great plantations being de
voted to the growing of peas, beans, etc.,
to be canned trreen.
The tin can has much to answer for,
but It has almost eliminated the seasons
from the consideration of the cook and
has mado It possible to serve the most
succulent of vegetables and the most de
licious of fruits In the Ice fields of the
north and the desert of Sahara. Chicago

Neither Ben Stanley, former organist and
choirmaster at the First Methodist church,
nor the trustees who have the matter In
charge, will talk about the present status
of affairs regarding Mr, Stanley, the choir
and the ecclesiastical music which is prom
ised not next Sunday. It was Intimated,
however, that something may be given out
Saturday. Negotiations are said to be
pending that may result In Mr. Stanley
reasaumlng charge of things in and around
the pipe organ. Those speaking with au
thority oay that the report that Mr. Stan
ley was paid only tl.-OO a year when he
contracted for $1,600 is erroneous, that the
choirmaster received $1,500 and never said
anything to the contrary.

"Have a look," said the hlstolnglst. And
he rose from the beautiful, delicate micro
scope and his companion took his place.
There wns a little fiddling and adjusting
of tiny screws. Then the tyro said:
"lTgh! Ghastly! What have we here?
A railroad wreck?"
"You are looking." answered tho hlstolo
glst, "at a pnrt of the remains of a Cey
lonese caterpillar."
He withdrew that slide and put another
In Its place.
"Another tragedy?" the tyro asked.
"The remnants of the beetle," the hls
tologlst replied.
A third slide was placed beneath the lens.
"This," said the tyro, "should bo a bat
tlefield." "It Is only," returned the scientist, "a
commingling of the desiccated fragments
of a fly, a centipede, a moth and a slug."
The tyn yawned.
"Histology Is Interesting," he said In a
bored voice. "Where did you get these
spe-Imens?"
"Out of a packet of tea."
"A parket of tea? What kind of tea?"
"Ordinary tea."
"Heavens! I am a tea drinker. Explain
yourself."
The hlstologlst, smiling, said:
"Tea grows on bushes. The leaves are
plucked by hand. Imagine yourself strip
ping rosebush after rosebush, miles on
miles, of their leaves. Well, that is what
a tea picking Is like.
"The native pickers work fast. They
pick as many as twenty-five pounds of
leaves a day a bundle bigger than a man
"Now, the tea plant Is the prey of a
hundred Insects, and the picker In his
haste doesn't pause to brush off each leat
or to wash It, for he works, as we , say,
by piece work.
"The picked leaves are arlea on cnar-
coal fires. They shrivel under the heat
and the Insect larvae and chrysallds
among them change to dust. This dust
looks, to the ordinary eye, like leaf frag
ments. But under the microscope It looks,
as you remarked, like an Insect railroad
wreck or a pigmy battlefield. It tastes
like but you know as well as I do what
It tastes like."
"Tomorrow," aald the other, "I am going
to bring some nf my wife's tea here to
examine with you." New York Herald.
