THE saving of fourteen lives in a

THE saving of fourteen lives in
gale off Hawaii, as narrated by our
correspondent, is an act of heroism
that deserves a public reward. We
know nothing more than what is
told by him, and we doubt not that
the story is in the main correct.
If the facts prove to be so, then
those brave men who inperlled
their own lives to save the lives OF
others under heavy risks deserve a
recognition from this Government,
which shall show to the people of
this and other lands that we are
not slow to reward our own heroes
as other nations reward theirs. No
people can be too poor to recognize
the daring of these Hawaiian sail
ors, especially of that heroic boy
who was dashed to the masthead,
as Farragut was dashed to the rig
ging of the Hartford, that he might
be in the post of greatest danger,
and be of the greatest service dur
ing the battle. Don't let America
surpass Hawaii in honoring true
bravery.

Mr.. Bennett, the merchant from
Shanghai, says it is we'll known
that when missionaries in troubled
districts seek to telegraph to their
European friends in the city, the
Chinese officials refuse to send the
messages or deliberately destroy
them, whether from personal pre-
judice or by instructions from their
Government is not quite clear.
However, he adds, it is idle to
talk of any general and successful
uprising of the people under exist
ing conditions. Large sums have
been expended in bringing the army
and navy to state of perfection
the army is ready for any such
contest as appears to be appre-
hended, and with the advantage OF
constant drill under officers versed
in the art of civilized warfare, the
rebels could not hope to meet it or
the field of battle.
Nevertheless, I" 1t is the opinion
of those whose views are entitled
to weight that the attacks now
threatened are to be more seriously
considered than previous troubles.
Another eminent authority, Mr.
Drummond, recently wrote a long
letter discussing the situation, anC
be took this view of it.

DISTURBANCES IN CHINA.

Serious disturbances have broken
out in some of the eastern provinces
of China. It is well known that a
great part of the Chinese empire,
especially those districts which
being in the neighborhood of
treaty ports, are more Influenced
or in other words offended, by the
presence of barbarians are per-
fectly honey-combed with secret
societies, membership being in
many cases capital crime.
The ultimate object of many of
these secret societies is the expul-
sion of the foreign barbarians and
the destruction of the Manchu or
Tartar dynasty, and the substitu-
ton of purely Chinese regime.
One way of accomplishing these
objects is held to be by constantly
harassing the foreign settlements
in this way embroillng the central
government with foreign powers
and then taking advantage of the
suffering and discomfort necessarily
engendered by a foreign war to ex-
cite a general rebellion and effect
the expulsion of the reigning dyn-
asty.
These secret societies have been
growing to be so aggressive lately
that the government has been
driven to interfere and numerous
executions have taken place with
out however having any effect but
to aggravate the evil which should
be suppressed.
Consequently more and more
frequent become the outrages on
the persons and property of for
eigners. Missions and mission
aries are the first victims, and
French, English and American sta
tions in the neighborhood of
Shanghae have been threatened
and the mission families in outly-
ing districts are hurryIng into the
city for protection.
A gentleman who has lived for
twenty-six years in the European
colony outside the walls of Shang-
haze, and who has had intimate ac-
quaintance with the people of the
country, tells reporter of the San
Francisco Chronicle that just as he
was leaving Shanghai it was re-
ported that the rebels were on
their way down the river Yang
Isl Kiang) in great numbers, with
the avowed intention of plundering
and burning the settlement of Soo-
chow, some seventy or eighty miles
from the city. AS soon as this re-
port reached the commander of a
French man-of- war, then lying in
the river in front of the old walled
city, or Shanghae proper, he at
once notified the Taotai, or mayor,
that the moment the rebels entered
the town where the French Jesuits'
school and church are situated, he
would open fire on the city.
The French flagship with a
squadron lay at the mouth of the
river, and though the faghship
herself cannot cross the bar, there
are always suficiency of small
craft, both French and English, on
the China station especially adapt
ed for river work.

GALE AT KA WAIHAE, HA-
WAU.
A Brave Act of Humanify-FOur-
teen Lives Saved.

From our own Correspondent
On the morning of Saturday,
July 18th, terrible gale sprung
up. and, with such suddenness,
that three canoes, containing thir-
teen men and boy, were blown off
to sea and upset. The waves were
running to tremendous height,
and many an old salt would have
hesitated at putting to sea in such
"a storm. One of the three canoes
after battling with the waves till
noon. managed to reach Puako
with it's owner cllnging to it for
life.
At the first intimation of the
accident, Mr.. Hookuanui of Ka-
walhae generously offered bis fine
sloop for the rescue of the fisher
men, and Mr.. Kanehaku, an old
sea-dog, at once accepted and
started to raise volunteer crew.
They were soon ready, five all
told, and with cheer they showed
off to the rescue of their fathers
and brothers. One boy was lash
ed with ropes halfway up the main
mast, and there, in this all but en-
viabIe position, he stayed for hours
scanning the horizon as best he
could in every direction, for
glimpse of the unfortunate men.
The sloop headed for Kahoo-
lave, as the seas were running
high in that direction, and in a
few minutes Mahukona was
but a mere speck, such was
the speed at which they sailed.
The sun was now setting, and the
crew We're wet and cold, but the
sloop still kept on, lacking here
and there. Lower yet the sun
dropped to the horizon. Should
darkness set in, all hopes of finding
them would be gone. Eyes were
strained in every direction, but the
binding spray prevented one from
seeing any great distance. At last
shout came from the lookout On
the sloop. There they were, tossed
like feather on huge wave, the
men clinging with despair to their
frail crafts; some weak, some yet
strong in the hope that help might
come.
If you have never been in such
peril, reader. you cannot imagine
the feelings of these men, dashed
about by the waves for hours and
hours, expecting every moment u
voracious shark to come and end
their sufferings. But Providence is
good, however unfortunate some
may be, and the sight of the little
sloop cheered their hearts and gave
them fresh strength for the final
struggle. They were soon on
aboard, and every care admins
tered to them The sloop and it's
gallant crew tackled about and
reached Kawaihae late IN the night.
The men had been clinging to
their canoes from early morning
till sunset, and some OF them were
very weak and could not have held
out much longer. Had darkness
set IN before the sloop found them,
they were lost.
Mr.. Editor, should not the Gov
eminent recompense bravery of
such a kind as this? The kind
offer also, by it's owner, of 1000
sloop to go out and brave such a
storm is not very frequent occur
renee. Fourteen lives saved call
Hawaiians) deserves more than a
mere word of thanks. A gold or
silver medal with suitable in
scription would be fit recognition
on the part of the Hawaiian Gov
ernment of the bravery of each of
these men, not leaving out the
owner of the sloop.

MONDAY, July II.

How about that long grass
in your yard ?
1t needs cutting, and you
haven't made up your mind
what sort of a lawn mower
YOU want! We're going to
tell you.
If the grass is very long, get
a Pennsylvania high grass cut
ter. 1t will work just as well
in short grass as any other,
but the ordinary mower Will
NOT do for high grass.
If you manage with that
antiquated affair you've been
using to keep the grass short
but ragged, we advise you to
get one of our Pennsylvania
or "New Easy Lawn Now
ers. Either of them will do
the work and you may not re-
cognize your lawn after its
improved appearance.
When you have cut the
grass nicely you will want a
new piece of hose-rubber
hose, mind you, not merely
called rubber, but made OF
rubber. We have it. After
that you want a sprinkler that
will throw the water broad
cast and give the best substl-
tute for a natural rainfall. The
California" Sprinkler is the
one to do this. We sell them.
Procure the articles we have
mentioned, water your lawn
night and morning and it will
| look like a bed of emeralds.
Now is the time to improve
your garden, and we have all
the tools necessary to help you.
What do you do about spoons
for your after-dinner coffee !?
We have some that will tickle
your fancy, and they're cheaper
than the cheapest.
You may not know it, but
we have the only genuine
lockwood Pottery for sale on
these islands. For decoration
it is superior to anything of the
kind made. The color gener-
ally is a dark brown, and the
vines and flowers modelled on
the pieces are as delicate as
nature. Some pieces are use
full. Chocolate jugs, smokers
sets, and small pitchers for in
stance. No two pieces alike
when one is made the mould
is destroyed. No danger OF
you neighbor copying your
good taste.
Silverware is an odd thing
tor hardware people to deal in,
but it is customary here and
we have the best-same as
everything else. Choice bits,
odd designs in smokers sets
and champagne holders and
the best shakers for-lemon-
AIDES we have ever seen. They
answer for something stronger
just as well.
Silver ice tongs for the table
are useful and pretty. Some
we received by the last steam
er are rather. better than the
last lot, and you're bound to
like them. If you use cracked
ice at table you will find them
more convenient than spoon
and they look better.
Engraved glass tumblers
are prettier than plain ones
and just as cheap. We have
them in many styles and sizes
and you're hard to please if

About two years ago Standard

as to the inside of Standard Oil
affairs, estimated the Rockefeller
fortune at 1929, 100000, and gave

MEN OF GREAT WEALTH.
John u. Rockefeller Takes the Lead
With About $3.50, 100000.
AN INCOME OF $4,000 PER DAY.

The story has been in circula-
ton in Wall street during the past
week to the effect that John D.
Rockefeller, the president Of the
Standard Oil Trust, is seriously i'll,
and that, acting under the advice
Of his physicians, he had deter.
mined to stay at his residence in
the suburbs of Cleveland during
the entire summer. Further de-
tails were that Mr.. Rockefeller was
suffering from nervous prostration,
consequent on close attention to
business. 1t was believed, how
ever, that if he remained in seclu-
sion for six or eight weeks and left
business matters entirely to the
care of others he would be all right
again in the autumn. The story
ofMr. Rockefeller's partial collapse
commanded a certain amount of
belief among Wall street men, for
the reason that the millionaire has
not looked particularly we'll for
some time past, and those who
have experience in such matters
declare that the strain consequent
upon giving personal attention to
such vast interest as are controlled
by Mr.. Rockefeller is bound, sooner
or later to tell on a mans health,
however strong he may be by rea-
son of a naturally vigorous consti-
tuition.
The report regarding Mr.. Rookie
feller's illness put forward in the
conservative form here indicated,
has met with a prompt and en-
phatic denial at the hands of Mr..
Rockefeller's family in Cleveland
and of his business associates in
New York City. Possibly the
stories as to his bad health have
been exaggerated, but the fact that
the reports have been circulated
has emphasized the rather interest
ing consideration that although
Mr.. Rockefeller occasionally oper.
ted in the Wall street market, and
although his wealth is probably
three times as great as that of Jay
Gould and equal to the aggregate
wealth of perhaps any ten Wall
street millionaires that may be
mentioned, these reports have had
no effect whatever on the course of
the markets.
Similar reports concerning Jay
Gould, or even Russell Sage or The
odorc Havem' yer, would have had
an immediate effect on prices and
disturbed the market to very con-
siderable extent. The explanation
is, of course, that although Mr..
Rockefeller has at times purchased
large blocks of stock in Wall street,
and was at one time reported to
have purchased enough Northern
Pacific stock to secure control, he
has never figured as large specu-
Iator or as All operator carrying
considerable lines Of stock. His
retirement from business, therefore,
either temporarily, or through ill.,
ness or by death, would not be
attended by the throwing of large
blocks of stock OH the market and
any consequent decline in prices.
Outside Of this Mr.. Rockefeller is
not interested in the railroads of
the country except as a holder Of
railroad bonds.
That Mr.. Rockefeller is the rich
est man in America admits of no
question whatever. His wea tn is
estimated to be anywhere from
$l25,C0O,O0O to $15O,OOO,0OO. No
closer estimate than this can be
made, except by Mr.. Rockefeller
