A MrLLroNARE's NARROW ESCAPE.
Remarkable Experience of John II. Haines,
of Boston.


ALTOONA, Pa, Feb 1S.-A remarkable ex-
peries ce happened to John HI. Haines, of Bos-
ton, passenger ON the western express. In
company with his son, Mr.. Haines took
Pullman compartment at Philadelphia for
Pittshurg, occupying lower berth and his
son an upper one. Being a victim of in
sonmia he found it impossible to sleep 1t is
supposed that while under temporary aber-
ration Of the mind he raised the window of
his compartment and jumped from the car.
From some inexplicable cause, to himself
entirely unknown, he succeeded in reaching
the top of a freight car in the lower freight
yards At any rate, he was found there by
an employee of the road little later on. Mr.
Haines has been a partner in the Edgar
Thomson steel works of Pittsburg. His
escape from the car is a mystery to all who
were ON the train, and his escape from sud-
den death is considered almost miraculous.
Mr.. Haines is said TO be a millionaire steel
king and was on his way to Pittsburg to hold
a erpference with Andrew Carnegie.

returned to China, arrived here again on the
steamship Nevada. When he LETT this coun-
try for China he was provided with set of
description papers, which entitled him to
come back to the Unite States and live, if
he should desire to do so. The Scott law,
which is now in operation, prevents his being
allowed to land, and hence his description
papers are of no account. He will be sent
back by the Nevada on her next trip

ton:

HER CARGO TAKING FIRE SHE PUTS
BACK TO AUCKLAND.

The Mariposa sailed from Auck-
land April 22d. A dispatch from
the latter place received at San
Francisco April 25th, says, that the
Mariposa had returned to Auckland
on fire. From dispatches received
from Captain Hayward, it appears
that day out from Auckland, whtn
the vessel was about 220 miles at
sea, smoke twas discovered coming
from the forehold hatchways. An
investigation was made and the seat
of the fire placed in the lower hold,
where about $50 tons of fax were
stored. This fax is shipped in bales,
and is very combustible article.
How the fire started is not known,
but it is supposed that the hold be-
ING dry, gases were accumulated,
the hatchways being battened down,
and the fax took fire by sponta-
neous combustion. All the air pas
sages into the hold were stopped up
and an effort made to smother the
fire. This was not successful, and
streams of water were poured upon
the mass. Captain Hayward in the
mean time, had turned the steamer
about and was making for Auck-
land at a speed of thirteen knots an
hour. The fire did not gam any
apparent headway and consequently
it was hoped that no damage would
be done to the ship until port was
reached.
At this time of the year there is a
very heavy travel from the colonies,
and the Mariposa had about $50
passengers on board. AS is gener-
ally the case, fire on shipboard
causes more or less panic among
the passengers, and in this case
there was great excitement. The
fire was discovered about noon, and
but for the GOODNESS of The steamers
officers there might have been some
foolish deeds doue by the excited
passengers. As 1t was, the passen-
gers took Captain Hayward's advice
to remain on board until there was
really some danger.
Auckland was reached at four
O'Clock on the morning of the oath,
after a run Of sixteen hours at an
average speed of thirteen and three
| quarter knots per hour. The fire
was quickly subdued and the flax
all discharged. The remaining
freight amounted to 100 tons. 1t
was found that little or no damage
had been done to the vessel. and she
sailed again at s o'clock in the eve
ming. This puts the steamer two
days behind time, but she is able to
regain at least day of the time lost
and is expected to reach this port
tomorrow.

Just look at "Equity's" audacity
in speaking SO contemptuously Of
the native Hawaiians! Reynolds is
a brick. He came out like a man
in defence of the wronged natives.
The Hawaiian has his faults and
failings, like other people and my
self, but he is not the idiot that
Equity" tries to make him out to
be. Let Equity" ponder this one
fact: Every native Hawaiian be-
tween the ages of twelve and thirty
years can read and write his own
language. Can that be said of any
three other natlonalities of the
world? ] doubt it. One of the as
tonishing things about the aborigin-
ais of this country is, that their
mental capacity and attainments will
compare favorably with those of any
of the white races in the same grade
of life.

ANTlSHAMUS'S MEDLEY.

Is there any truth in the report
that the Attorney-General has pro-
hibited the natives meeting in the
old Armory, to talk matters which
take in politics? L hope not. Surely
that gentleman is not such fool as
to cut his own throat in that kind of
a way 1t may be that we have
rather too much politics in the
country. / rather think so myself.
But any attempt to suffocate the
animal in that manner is bound to
make him kick the life out of the
suffocator.

ne for the inteiment ceremonies,


have to pay three dollars. Rather
steep. Even if the return be after
the ceremonies, it is still rather
steep. Besides, to make an invaria-
bic charge whether the time occu-
pied be one hour or two, works in
justice to somebody. If three dollars
be sufficient payment for two hours
service, the man who is required to
fork out the same sum for one hour
is overcharged. would like to
know if this is rule of the govern
ment, and if so, by what rule of
equity is it constructed?
Seeing that it has become the
custom to publish "calls," L owe
duty to the public in this line. The
undertaking is one from which in
born modesty makes me shrink, but
deep sense of duty TO the dear
people whom l serve overcomes the
weaker feeling. The nation should
know, in fact must know, how so
important a parsonage as myself
makes up days outing. Well, at
1905 yesterday morning took pas
sage in tramcar, first class, five
cents, to save expense. Called on
Willing, at the Government nurs-
cry, and received from his own lips
an account of an encounter with
bulls on Kauai. Next paid q visit
to the distinguished Jim Sherwood,at
the Waikiki baths. Was well re-
ceived. Jim has become quite
sedate, but his heart retains its old
size. Spent profitable hour at the
Honolulu Planning Mills, regaled by
the wisdom of Peter Dalton and
others. Would have remained
longer, but an intimation more forc
bic than polite that the space l occu-
pied was preferable to my person
induced me to move on. Met
Ornithorhynchus at the corner. He
raised his hat, and muttered some
thing about "that BILL" / found
it convenient TO be in hurry. Sea-
born was found in his usual smiling
condition, but startled me somewhat
by the assertion that he found it
necessary to be cautious in giving
credit. That was no atmosphere for
me. Paid my respects to the boot
black in Cunha's lane. Found an
open chair awaiting me, and forth
with dumped my precious body into
it. "Cash in advance from you,"
uttered by the polite boothlack,
caused me to vacate and proceed.
| then conceived the intention of
, winding up the days calls by visit
to the celebrated and world-famed
Cunha, at the Union. The inten-
ton was carried out. At respect,
able hour, about three o'clock next
morning, l reached my tent in ;

navigated by the skilful and famous
corn doctor who with rare ingenu
ity escaped the clutches of the vag
:, rant Act short time ago.

Liberty of thought and freedom
of speech" Is what some people do
not believe in. These are rights
secured to all by the constitution,
but more than one person in this
community would like to have the
clause stricken from that document.
One of these said in effect to me
recently: "We now have a faulLless
government, and you fellows who
find fault ought to be compelled to
shut up or clear out" / don't see
things through this gentleman 5
glasses, and had he the power he
would take from me the liberty to
view them through any other. |
am told of another person who has
intimated very plainly to his en-
ployees that their political opinions
must agree with his. What pity
that men can be born with sucf
small minds and saturated with sucl
narrow prejudices, that they woulc
if they could shackle the minds o
others. But it cannot be done il
this age and country, and the very
attempt recoils with damaging effec
upon those who make it.

Competition in trade when open,

not always Of this character. 1t

tors forfeit the respect and cent?

meanest thing in the way of compe-

cages TO perform a certain service
for Dick, at fair and reasonable
price. Harry, who makes living
in the same line of avocation as
Tom, goes to Dick and says: "Look

from Ten and tabu his doing it, l
will do it for you free of charge"

What is this we hear about police

What is this we hear about police
man not being on Nuuanu avenue
and other places where they are
needed? Why does not the Marshal
place policemen there? Perhaps he
may reply that he is not to blame.
But who is to blame? l don't think
the Legislature is, ,forit was ready TO
vote whatever was asked for by the
Ministers. Then why was there an
insufliciency appropriated? I sus-
pect that the Ministers cut down the
necessaries, of which the police de-
partment is one, as low as possible,
to allow for the Punchbowl and
other schemes, which although not
quite so bad as the Kaimiloa and
Genealogy rackets, point that way ;
and so the Marshal has not the
means to provide for the adequate
protection of the chickens and other
property of the taxpayers. This
mind you, is private suspicion
which has lowered around me for 6
long time past, but if it should prove
erroneous, then the responsibility Of
insufficient police protection must
rest upon the MarshaPs shoulders

always takes precedence of the orna-

The old and ridiculous method of
bestowing bouquets upon perform
ers is still kept up at the Hawaiian
Opera House. A boy is sent trot-
ting down the passageway to the
stage from the ticket office at the
entrance of the hall, with a great
bunch of flowers. He invariably
arrives either too late or too soon,
usually the latter, and then perches
himself in q waiting attitude on the
stage, to the annoyance of the audi
ence and the discontinue of the
performer, until the time for pre-
sentation with more or less grace or
awkwardness arrives. The first time
| saw this circus / was amused, be-
cause it struck me as intensely ludi-
crous. But the novelty has worn

fering of excited admiration; bul
they are not in favor of the custom
above outlined, and no wonder.

Somebody defended trusts" in

tempted to show how good they are.
L at once thought of the oil trust,
and remembered that before the
days of the trust l got oil cheap,
and now L am compelled to use trust
oil which costs me considerably
higher price. No doubt, the trust
is good for those who are in it, but
it is no good for those who are out
of it, and the great majority of peo-
pie are out of it. The oil trust,
suppose, gives big profits to the few
who are in it, and dear oil to the
many who are out of it. Tons of
"fact, figures and reasoning" to
show me that black is white, do
not convince me that black is any
thing but black, or that white is
otherwise than white. 1t may be
owing to the thickness of my skull,
but can't help it.
