Led n Double Life.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 5.-The death of
Joseph Postlewaite for years a prominent
bandmaster of this city, brings to light
a curious domestic history.
He leaves two families, neither of
which ever heard of the other till after
his death. BY Mrs. Postlewaite No. Q,
he leaves two children, whom he always
recognized as his children. Mrs. Postie-
waite No. l, to whom he was married in
1852, and with whom he has lived con-
stantly, she says, since then, he has no
children. Tie two families have lived
less than half a mile apart for the last
ten years. There is no doubt of his rela-
ton to each being exactly what they re-
spectiyely claim,

tng railroad companies or this country,
asking for am authoritative definition of
the general. policy of the department in
imposing fines and deductions for fail
ures n delays in carrying the mails,
and for relief against alleged injustice
and hardships in the theory and practice
of the department in imposing fines and
deductions in certain specified cases.
In other and usual delays by snows or
blockades the following. For awhole
days failure and the whole Of the mail
is carried through the succeeding day,
full pay. Where there is a failure for
two days and the mail goes through on
the third day, n days pay. If there
should be a failure for four days, three
days pay should be deducted; and where
the failure is longer deduction hould
be made for every day except the last
one of the delay.
The postmaster general thinks the fol-
lowing rules should be entirely satisfac-
tory to the companies:
In an extraordinary case, coming
within the exceptional character of the
blizzard of March, 1888, where the high
est degree of diligence is used to remove
the cause of delay, there should be on
fine or deduction for any delay what
ever, De W one uay OrInOTe.
"a strike of railroad employees" he
adds, cannot afford any excuse for fail
ure to cary the mails. There have been
few cases when men and facilities could
not be found sufficient tocarry the mails,
and even when they a do no other
business there is no good reason forYnot
doing the government business alone.
AS to fines for delinquency which re-
Guile IN fniln,.a tr ,n~rk A. .,,1..
should be to deduct from the line where
the delinquency occurred, and the
amount based upon proportion of the
mails carried"
The postmaster general SAYS that the
railway service should report when a
train is late in addition to the the post
masters report, and if on the face Of the
reports it shall be determined that it is
not IA proper case for detention or fine,
he thinks the carrier should not be
put to the Inconvenience for appealing
for remission; therefore the fine in such
cases should not be imposed in the first
instance. He thinks no fine or deduc-
ton should be imposed for delay caused
by a broken axle, hot box, or any SINH
lar accident against which, in the knowl-
edge of railroading, the highest degree
of diligence and care have not been able
to guard. In such cases, however, if
any negligence is shown, or if diligence
be not used in remedying the accident,
orin expedition after remedying, a fine
should be imposed.
The application of the companies for
restoration Of former rates carrying light
weights has been granted.
Fines and deductions will be imposed
and remissions in accordance with these
views from this date, and all sregula-
tons will be continued, and if Need be,
amended accordingly.

ofaciais Of the New York Electric Sugar
Refining Company Make a Discovery
that staggess Them and Creates
CONSERVATION on Exchanges,

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The Evening Star
prints a statement that the Electric
Sugar Refining company has been duped
to the extent of $1,000, 900, and its
whole .'secret process shown to be a
humbug of tne most barefaced kind.
About, four years ago Henry G. Friend
appeared in trade circles with samples OF
wonderfully pure sugar, which he said
had beer refined by his electric pro-
cess" About a year g he induced a
number of English and American CAPT
talists to organize a company and erect
factories. The. room where the refining
was supposed to be done were always
to Ike kept secret and no one to be al
lowed inside them say Friend, his wife
and a few Ignorant workmen. This
was done because Friend said his pro-
cess was not patentable and he feared
to allow any one to share his secret.
The stock of the company went up
until it was worth nearly $500 per share
of 800 par value. Friend and those
connected with him had received, be-
side a large cash payment, G heavy block
of stock. This he sold, the greater part
at an abnormal value. He died sud
denly some time since, but the officers
OF the company suspected nothing until
q few days ago, when it was found that
Mrs. Friend and all connected with the
factory had disappeared. President Cot
terrell and a number of the stockholders
then invaded the secret room and made
the discovery which paralized them. A
number of machines were there which
had been used in breaking crude sugar
INTO smaller particles and in
rrHnnIptinn tho nnorcar f,oln, A.. 49,
that was all. Not a pound of raw
sugar had been refined in the fac
tory. Quantities of refined sugar had
been purchased by the operators, and
prepared in some secret spot with a
chemical liquid which eliminated the
ordinary impurities found in all sugars
n crystalized cubes to a large extent.
"doctored sugar was carted to the
factories IN bags purporting to be raw
sugar. When broken the cubes had a
finer appearance and quality than g
was ever known to possess. The scheme
was cleverly worked to the very last.
The stockholders and officers of the com.
paly were kept in perfect confidence as
to the future of the process until the
largest possible amount of money to be
secured had been obtained and then the
bubbleSwas allowed. to burst.
Treasurer Robertson said he could not
tell the exact status CT the or
how much money had been paid Friends
until n statement which he is now
working on is completed. President
Cotterell, he says, has left for the west
to try to find Mrs. Friend and endeavor
to learn what the chemical was that was
used, in the hope that it may be of some
use, fer the sugar which has been treat.
ed with 1T is remarkably pure. If II
proves to be worth anything it might
a " a total collapse, but he has little
faith in It. Mrs. Friend and her accom-
Rlices will be arrested if possible to find
them.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AGAIN.

In our issue of September 18th, we
gave some statistics with reference
to our schools, with the names of the
teachers employed. We have an
alyzed that list, and find some inter
esting results. There are in all
thirty-nine teachers in the Honolulu
district. Of these twenty-six have
been educated in our own schools;
nine have been educated in the
United States, and four in Great
Britain or its colonies Looking at
the nationalities of the teachers we
find that thirty-eight were born in
this country, nine in the United
States, and seven in Great
Britain or its dependencies. Of
these seven, three came here very
young and were educated in Homo
lulu. As to actual nationality, with
cut reference to birthplace, there are
fourteen teachers of British nation
ality, ten American, ten half-casts,
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-10-08

and five pure Hawaiians. But of the
British and American, considerable
number were born here, as the above
figures show. As to sex, there are
eleven males and twenty-eight fe-
males. OF the males, three are
American, four British, one haJf-caste
and three Hawaiian. One of the
teachers has taught for over forty
years. Several of those holding the
more responsible positions have
taught for twenty years, and quite a
number have been in, the service of
the Board over ten years.
With regard to the nationalities
of the scholars: Fort Street has its
bulk of pupils from American, Bri-
tish and half-caste families. The
Royal School is composed chiefly of
Hawaiian and half-caste boys, though
the Portuguese are beginning to
send their children to the lower
rooms. The Kauluwela School has
Hawaiian, half-caste and Portuguese.
The Pohokaina Girls School is COM
posed almost entirely of Hawaiians,
with few half-casts. The small
outside schools draw their numbers
chiefly from Hawaiians, with the ex-
ception of Marquesville, which is
composed exclusively of Portuguese,
and Kalihi-uka in which there is a
preponderance of Portuguese. To
ensure attendance at school two
truant officers are employed by the
Board of Education, one Hawaiian
and one Portuguese.
A regular course of study has
been laid down by the Board of
Education which is divided into
three sections-the primary course
embracing the four first years of
school life; the grammar grade
course lasting from the fifth to the
eight year, and high school course
lasting four years. The object of
this course is evidently to be as
thoroughly practical as possible.
And if it is consistently carried out,
children who have only taken four
years of it shouldhave good knowl-
edge of English, should write we'll,
and should have sufficient command

The departure of Mr.. TARo ANDo

Yamashiro Maru, on Saturday last
affords us the opportunity and the
pleasure of noticing an official gen
tleman and lady whose Uniform
urbanity and courtesy have fitted
them to occupy the favored position
which they have held the past three
years as representatives of the Gov
ernment of Japan. His knowledge
of the Hawaiians and of the various
nationalities in this Kingdom, ac-
quired during his residence here, has
eminently fitted him to act as a
mediator in the many petty com
plants or piltktas which arise among
his countrymen here, and in every
case to the satisfaction of both
parties. These qualities will COM
mend him to his government as a
judicious counsellor, and as "the
right man in the right place" We

prosperous voyage to Japan, and a
safe return to our sunny isles.

of arithmetic to keep ordinary ac-
counts.
Besides the public schools there
are large number of private edu-
cational institutions in and around
Honolulu with an attendance quite
as large as in the public schools.
Of these the principal are Oahu Col
lege, Punahou Preparatory, Kane
hameha Schools, Kamehameha Pre-
paratory, st. Louis College, Iolani
College, st. Andrews's Priory, Con-
vent of the Sacred Heart, Kawaihao

or two private ventures.
1t certainly cannot be said that
Honolulu is lacking in educational
advantages, where for population
of a little over 10000, there are no
less than 27 schools provided.
