Samoan Enterprise of Commedore Weaver ef New York, Since peace has been re-established in the Samoan fslands extensive plans for their development have been set afoot, writes the Apia (Samoa) correspondent of the Chicago Post. Commodore N. J. Weaver of the New York Yacht club came here recently on his steam yacht Norna and was so impressed with the prospects that he determined to establish of Upolu one of the largess cacao plantations in the world. He has secured already about 8,000_aeres and doubtless will add to this holding in the near future. On this property are four large waterfalls that will furnish hundreds of borsepower. The land is sheltered, comparatively ievel and finely watered. Commodore. Weaver has gone to Auckland, but will return soon, and then intends to go to the United States in March to purchase large supplies. including lumber, water power machinery, an icemaking plant, tools, provisions, ete. He plans to use electricity largely in labor saving devices, and trolley lines will gridiron the p!antation, making every point accessible. The Samoans as well as white planters will be urged to plant cacao. as Mr. Weaver's Norna plantation will purchase dnd manufacture on the spot all the surplus cacao that ¢an be produced. H. J. Moors, for many years a leading resident of Samoa, has been appointed Mr. Weaver's’ local agent and will conduct the enterprise during the commodore’s absence. Star Route Con'ractors Must Live Near Their Contracts. . A recent ruling of the Second Assistant Postmaster-General will be of es. pecial interest to residents of this sec. tion who wish to bid on ‘contracts for carrying mails on star routes. The decision is that men who do not live near . ; mail routes cannot furnish a proper . bond for the faithful performance of the star route contracts. This is a di rect blow at the big mail contractors . in the East, who take Western mail. contractsand then sub-let them. Oontracts for this section will not be let again until 1902, but if the new policy is continued it is going to be of material advantage to local residents to) feel that they are the only competitors . and that some outsider is not going to cut their throats and then skin some local man into doing the work afterwards at starvation wages. “A JUST RULING. . TO SWEETEN THE VOICE. New York Woman Will Organize =I Society For That Purpose. New York will shortly have a society for the improvement of the American . speaking voice. Its promoter is Miss . Lily Curtis, who declares that the “throat clutch, the jaw clinch and the tone of despondency in the average American voice are bound to have a profound moral effect on the character of the owner.” Clubwomen and teachers, society leaders and others who desire adventitious aids to amiability have given their names and the organization will be duly formed in the very hear future. Miss Curtis, who has demonstrated voice theories for 12 years past on the school children of New York city, addressed the Public Education association the other afternoon at the Berkeley lyceum, says the New York World. She illustrated the “before and after taking” effects with a class of children from the public schools with voices unsweetened and a class of litle cripples from the Henrietta Industrial school who have learned to properly qualify their tones. Both in singing and speaking, Miss Curtia made the differences plain and contended ‘that beginning frém the top of the scale and going downward, instead of from the bottom up, was the one sure mode of eliminating harshness. Women's voices, she argued, were worse” than men’s —because forced. ——_—_——__+-60-— She is Not to Blame.

The land is sheltered, comparatively ievel and finely watered. Commodore. Weaver has gone to Auckland, but will return soon, and then intends to go to the United States in March to purchase large supplies. including lumber, water power machinery, an icemaking plant, tools, provisions, ete. He plans to use electricity largely in labor saving devices, and trolley lines will gridiron the p!antation, making every point accessible. The Samoans as well as white planters will be urged to plant cacao. as Mr. Weaver's Norna plantation will purchase dnd manufacture on the spot all the surplus cacao that ¢an be produced. H. J. Moors, for many years a leading resident of Samoa, has been appointed Mr. Weaver's’ local agent and will conduct the enterprise during the commodore’s absence. Star Route Con'ractors Must Live Near Their Contracts. . A recent ruling of the Second Assistant Postmaster-General will be of es. pecial interest to residents of this sec. tion who wish to bid on ‘contracts for carrying mails on star routes. The decision is that men who do not live near . ; mail routes cannot furnish a proper . bond for the faithful performance of the star route contracts. This is a di rect blow at the big mail contractors . in the East, who take Western mail. contractsand then sub-let them. Oontracts for this section will not be let again until 1902, but if the new policy is continued it is going to be of material advantage to local residents to) feel that they are the only competitors . and that some outsider is not going to cut their throats and then skin some local man into doing the work afterwards at starvation wages. “A JUST RULING. . TO SWEETEN THE VOICE. New York Woman Will Organize =I Society For That Purpose. New York will shortly have a society for the improvement of the American . speaking voice. Its promoter is Miss . Lily Curtis, who declares that the “throat clutch, the jaw clinch and the tone of despondency in the average American voice are bound to have a profound moral effect on the character of the owner.” Clubwomen and teachers, society leaders and others who desire adventitious aids to amiability have given their names and the organization will be duly formed in the very hear future. Miss Curtis, who has demonstrated voice theories for 12 years past on the school children of New York city, addressed the Public Education association the other afternoon at the Berkeley lyceum, says the New York World. She illustrated the “before and after taking” effects with a class of children from the public schools with voices unsweetened and a class of litle cripples from the Henrietta Industrial school who have learned to properly qualify their tones. Both in singing and speaking, Miss Curtia made the differences plain and contended ‘that beginning frém the top of the scale and going downward, instead of from the bottom up, was the one sure mode of eliminating harshness. Women's voices, she argued, were worse” than men’s —because forced. ——_—_——__+-60-— She is Not to Blame. She was bread in old Kentucky, Where the meadow grass runs red; Where a man is out of danger, If he happens to be dead. She was bred in old Kentucky, And it is a burning shame; But don’t censure her—remember That the girl is not to blame. pares “Sarn Brnp, SaFE Finp.” _ Fortify vourself pow by purifying and enriching your blood and building up your system with Hood’s Sarsaparilla and you may expect good health tbroughout the coming season. ——_—_——41 Hood's Pills are non-irritating, mild, effective.
