KOHALA NOTES.

An insane Chinaman VINO had been
living alone in Makapala, Hawaii, be-
cause no one could live with him, was
found dead in his house last week, partly
eaten by dogs. No suspicion attaches
to any one. He had probably been sick
and died alone.
AIR. and Mrs. Hihio mad family jar
the other day, whereupon Mrs. Hihio,
commonly know as Kapehe, sought re-
venge by informing the authorities on
the Kohala Plantation that she, her hus-
band and 4 man by the name OF Ha-
oaumi were the ones who had sprinkled
the kerosene oil and set the plantation
store on fire. They were all placed in
durance vile, though she will probably
come out all right as States evidence;
but wouldn't it De establishing very
dangerous precedent to pay her the re-
ward that has been offered?
This lets out Mr.. Kahoohuli, who had
previously been arrested on suspicion
and sent up TO Hilo to await trial.

such game is in existence, eithes
organized and conducted by others
or by himself. And these inculpatory
facts would put upon the defendant
the burden of proving that no such
game existed, in which case he would
either have committed gross cheat
in taking money on the false pre-
tence that the stakes were to be
played at a che ia game. OF if he
should show it was his own game
he would be discharged of the of
tense of assisting and be held as a
principal.
1t was not necessary for the pro-
secution to show that the defendant
solicited others TO mark words and
to put up their money on these
marked words. The evidence shows
that the witnesses knew what his
occupation was in this respect and
acted accordingly without solicita
ton on his part. The actspeaks for
itself and is the same whether he
solicited the stake or not No word
need be spoken. What necessity for
solicitation if the would-be player
knows ali that the runner could tell
himg Moreover, the exhibition by
the defendant to the player of the
list of &c words put out by the man
ayers of the game is sufficient evil
dence of solicitation without word
being spoken.
We think the conviction should
stand. Appeal dismissed.

HILo NOTES.
From the Hilo Record.l
ooFFEE PLANTATION NEAR HILo.

COFFEE PLANTATION NEAR HILO.
We were out the other day and
carefully examined Sunter's coffee
plantation. We found that he has
about fifteen acres cleared and all
planted in coffee. The oldest trees
(thirty months from plantingl have
commenced bearing this year and
will probably yield next year
several thousand pounds of coffee.
The youngest planted thirteen
months from planting) average
two feet in height. There is no
black blight to speak of on the
coffee. The older trees average
from four to six feet in height.
There are now growing on the
place over 14,300 coffee trees,
enough to plant at least five acres
more, at an average of 600 trees to
The acre. 1t is certainly remark
able how the coffee has grown in
that IA field and shows what can
De done there.
Mr.. Sumter showed specimens of.
coffee grown there this year which
is about the finest we have ever
ssen grown on the islands. In the
lot, at least one-third was the pea
bean coffee, considered the finest
grown. Mr.. Sumter deserves great
credit for his work in taking hold
of this work and showing US what
can be done with that kind of land.
de now desires to sell out his in
terest in the place and persons
wishing to invest in coffee,
would do well to look into this
chance. Prices, etc, can be had
by application at this Office.
THE VOLCANO ROAD.
We were out on this road few
days since, and find that the "com-
nencement" of the work has actu-
ally become 4 fact. Outside the
prisoners, there is 4 gang of three
men. The Jail and other buildings
have been mostly removed and set
up at the end of that part already
built. Work will be necessarily
slow with such u small force of
men. The road needs a little re-
pairing throughout its whole length
and should be repaired at once
before it becomes worse and worse.
Again the government ought to
make decent horse trail from the
present end of the road out to the
old trail, so that travellers can
drive two miles further than they
now do.
NOTES.
A telephone has been put in ut
the prison quarters on the volcano
road. Mr.. Staples goes up to-mor-
row to attend the working of the
prison gang.
We notice that the house pur-
chased by Mr.. J. Wilson is now
being torn down, and Is to be car
ried up to the end of the volcano
road and put up there as half
way house.

EVERYBODY
EATS
CRACKERS.

Everybody eats crackers and conse-
quently anything relating to their
manufacture and sale is of general in
teTest. There was time in the his
tory of the business when crackers
were all about the same. One brand
was just about as good as another and
none of them were good enough to be
any great temptation TO delicate
stomach. That time has passed. 1t
was q good many years ago. The
crackers of the present generation are
as different as day from night. There
are good crackers and bad crackers
fresh crackers and stale crackers and
of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers in the cOun-
try who sell stale, unpalatable crack
ers because they can get them cheap
and make q big profit on them. They
think their customers don't know the
difference and by and by, when their
GIacker Iraue Is all gone, and they
don't sell box In week, they look
surprised and say: Funny how peo-
pies tastes change. People don't care
for crackers any more"
Don't they though? People don't
care 1or stale, unWhoiesome crackers,
that's true, but they do care for
cracker that Is pure and fresh and
altogether delightful as an article of
food.

A PATHETIC STORY.
Marriage, Death and Funeral
All Within Four Days.
Touching Sermon at Howard-street NJ. E.
Church Last Night as Tribute to the
Memory of Mrs. Sadie Dolan

A most pathetic sermon was preached by
Rev. S. V. Leech at the Howard-street NJ.
K. Church la st night.
He took for his text that well-known verse
from the Scriptures. Jesus Wept," and
long before his discourse was ended. many
OF the congregation wept also at the pathos
of the story that furnished the basis of the
sermon,
The story was one of the most touching
that ever furnished theme for preaching.
1t was the sad ending of the life of young
girl, member of the Howard-street congre-
CATION. who was fatally injured few weeks
ago, almost on the eve of her wedding day,
and who was joined in marriage on her
deathbed to the man of her choice. Married
on Saturday, died on Monday, and buried
on Wednesday were the brief outlines OF
this little tragedy.
The sermon was preached by DR.. Leech
at the special request of many friends OF the
deceased, and as a tribute TO the memory oil
the Young woman, who was an earnest
worker of the church and member OF the
Sunday school since early girh0od. Inc
story as gathered from the eloquent sermon
last night was a sad one.
About five weeks ago Miss Sadie Tullock
of Scotland street, in the northern part of
the city, and prominent member OF the
fall that caused severe injury to her spine.
The accident occurred just two days before
her contemplated marriage to George w.
Dolan of 1iburon, Miss Tullock was car
ried to her home and, despite the best medi-
cal assistance, died thirteen days ago yes
terday, after suffering Intense agony Two
days before her death, Saturday, October Sd.
realizing that the end was near, Miss
Tullock sent for her betrUthed, MIR. D0lan,
and also for Rev. DR.. Leech, and at her
bedside the grief-strcken groom and the
dying bride were made man and wife. The
following Monday, two days later, death
ended the young wife's suffering, and on
Wednesday, October eth. she was buried.
Rev. DIR. Leech officiated at her marriage.
was present at her death, and spoke the last
words at her grave, and last night paid Il
final and touching trbute9o her memory.
The church was well filed, chiefly with
friends OF the dead woman and fellow MEM
bers Of the same parlOr of Native DauIhters
of the Golden West, and great many were
moved to tears as the words OF the pastor
recalled sad incidents Of the young woman
suddenly ended life,
The sermon strongly pointed out the I'M
certarties of life, and how, on the threshold
OF the greatest happiness, death was ever
ready to step in an unbIdden ana UNIV ecome

LOYAL CANADIANS.

The Toronto Empire wonders how men
like Prof. Goodwin Smith, who claim to be
patriotic Englishmen, can advocate the
transference of Canada to the United
States. Prof Goodwin Smith would prob
ably answer that in advocating political
union between Canada and the United
States he is actuated by desire to see Can
ada prosperous. He does not propose this
political union for the benefit Of the United
States nor for the injury of England. He
may say also that such commercial union
as Canada is asking for would be as injuri-
GUS to England as political union can be.
Commercial union with the United States is
entirely out of the question without some
kind of arrangement which will give
American manufactured goods an adVant-
age in the Canadian market over the manu-
featured goods Of any other country. The
proposition to exchange natural products
only between Canada and the United States
is too lOp-sded for consideration. II Can
ada wants a free entry into the United
States for her grain, poultry, eggs. etc, she
must give the things we want to sell free
entry into Canada But the difficulties in
the way Of anything like free trade between
Canada and the United States while Canada
remains a part Of the British Empire are
practically insurmountable. 1t may be said
in a general way that a country which is
governed in the interest Of some other coun-
try IS badly handicapped in the industrial
race. Ireland traces her decay in wealth
and population to the fact that Ireland's in
terests have always been considered as sec
ondary to those Of England. The dominant
party in Canada nON determines its policy
by the probable effect it will have on Great
Britain. Instead of examining public ques-
lions with view TO the welfare Of Canada
the first consideration always is as to how
they will affect England. The Toronto
paper does not argue against political union
with the United States on the merits Of the
proposition as it relates to Canada. but as
proposition affecting England. The causes
OF the disappointments of the late census
may be found in the English policy which
has prevailed in Canada. Canadians get
tired Of seeing their own interests sacrificed
to those of England, and strike out for the
United States where policies are adopted
with consideration principally for our own
country.

MERCHANTS, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The meeting Of business men on Saturday,
which resulted in the formation Of the Aer-
chants Traffic Association, defined its pur-
pose in language which cannot be misunder-
stood 1t declared:
That lie objects OF the association be as fol
lows:
To do all in its power to build up the CONNER
cfal prosperity of san Francisco by encouraging
the building OF canals, competitive system OF rail
roads steamship lines and for any o,her purpose
that may tend TO develop the interests OF this
State. Also 10 regulate traffic, that the interests
aud resources Of our city and State may be de-
veloped Also for the purpose OF overcoming,
by united effort, discrimination and inequalities
against tile interests Of san Francisco and State
Of California.
10 foster our commercial interests and indus
tries by developing new territory for our trade
by seeking out new fields for our merchants to
distribute their goods, products and manufact-
ures.
No one will question the wisdom ofthese
resolves II is the first duty of all citizens
to build up the prosperity of the city, to fos-
ter It's Interests and to overcome discrimin-
ati0ns against those interests by carriers.
How that duty can be best performed ex-
perieuce and observation will dictate. There
is no question, however, but united effort
VIII tt more tHttllNe III accomplishing
results than individual effort, and thus the or
ganization O the traffic association Is step
in the right direction.
California, unlike New York and Massa-
chusetts, is producing State. 1t yields
vaIwty Of raw products-wheat. wine, wool,
fruit, oil, lumber. hops, bullion and hides
which it must sell to the world outside of
the State in order 10 prosper Any charges
made by carriers, over and above what is
fair remuneration for their labor, is just so
much added to the cost of producing these
various articles, and Just so much taken out
Of the pockets of the producers Il was evil
IDENTIFY the belief of the speakers at the mer-
chants meeting that the charges of the rail-
roads for transportation were in excess OF
fair remuneration for their services and that
a way should be found to reduce them. 1t
was suggested that the best way was to con-
struct rival transportation lines in the shape
of canals, competing railroads and compet-
ing lines OF steamers. This suggestion was
so universally applauded that it should lead
to action. Mere talk about competing lines
will not cheaper freights. If she meeting is
to accomplish anything real the Executive
Committee viii take the field before long
with practical scheme for new outlet for
California products.

PARTON AND MELVILLE.

These two writers, who both died last
week at about the age of 70, had out'iyed
public attention. Parton was Of English
birth, and devoted himself to letters from
his youth. Melville was born in New Ork,
began life as a sailor, and dTltted into
authorship by accident.
Parton achieved his first success when he
was 33, with the life Of Horace Greeley.
From that time to the end of his career he
never knew poverty. With the help OF
magazines and books he earned handsome
income, and after his marriage with Fanny
Fern, who was in receipt of line salary
from Bonler'S Ledger, he became almost
afflueut. He wrote a number OF biogra-
phies-Burr, Jackson, Franklin, Butler and
others-which, though not classics, are still
about the best books eXtant on their re-
specyiYe subjects. His most valuable con-
tribution to letters was his volume on
smoking and drinking. Others have eX
cellel him in the deineatiOn of the evils of
intemperance, but no one has ever massed
tie facts against the smoking habit with as
much force as he II las BEEN said that his
book actually diminished the consumption
of tobacco for some years after it appeared,
and that the planters Of Kentucky and Viz
ginia seriously thought Of indicting him.
Melville was a totally different order Of
writer. He came If good family in New
York; his grandfather had been one of the
Boston tea party; his mother was GanSe-
wort; his father was a well-tO-dO merchant.
At the age of IS he went to sea before the
mast, and ran away from his ship off the
Marauesas Islands. He spent a couple of
years among the natives, who alternated
between a wish to make him King and
desire TO eat him. Then he escaped, and on
his return home published ''Typee." This
was a thrilling account OF life in the South
Sea Stands, where the skies forever smile,
the dusky Venuses spend their time in dis
porting in the breakers, and the chiefs
always keep cold missionary on the side
board for the entertainment Of travellers.
The book had an Immediate and amazing
success. 1t was followed by "Omoo' and
'Moby Dick" which were equally popular,
and by a long string Of other novels, which
were not popular at all. Off the South Sea
Islands Melville was lost. He continued to
write until quite lately, but for twenty
years his name has rarely been mentioned.

A SOUND DECISION.

Several Chinese, other than laborers,
made a trip to China and in due time re-
turned without the certificate showing that
they belonged to other than the laboring
class. Collector Phelps was convinced that
they were of the classes that are allowed 10
enter the United States, and so teegraphed
to Secretary Foster. In return Foster said
that the Chinese must produce the certih-
cate the law requires or stand the conse-
quences. A short time ago the Chinese
merchants would have been allowed to land
without the certificate. and thus precedent
would nave been established under which
laborers claiming to be merchants could
have entered. Ii is quite likely that these
Chinese who were refused alanding omitted
to take certificates for the express purpose
of obtaining a ruling under which few
hundred laburers could be struggled into the
country. Experience with the Chinese has
demonstrated the necessity of strict con-
struction of laws made to apply to them. a
Chinese laborer smuggled into the country
is worth about $500, and there are Chinese
merchants and American lawyers ready to
help laborerS in for consideration.
