LEPERS INCENSED.
They Had a Desire TO Revenge
Themselves for a Fancied
Wrong.

The steamer Mokolii which ar
rived from Molokai on Saturday
morning brought the startling
news that certain of the lepers at
the Leper Settlement threatened to
burn, fire, and do havoc generally
at the Settlement one day last
week. The principals in this ne
farious business wanted to burn
all the property owned by the
Board of Health They held Sc
cret meetings among themselves
and decided to carry out their
plans, with the view, it seems, of
regaining their liberty. They inn
agined that as the Government
and the Legislature were complain
ing of poverty and hard times,
and as "the country was on the
edge of precipice," as ex-Minister
of Foreign Affairs Sam Parker
once stated on the floor of the
House, the Government would not
be able to build new houses, and
they would be released in conse-
quence.
They proposed to set on fire the
house of the Agent of the Board of
Health, to bind Mr.. r. w. Meyer
hand and foot, together with his
family, and throw them alive into
the burning house. They were
greatly enamoured of this little
scheme that would surely regain
them their personal happiness.
The leading conspirators were
given particular wards and
they were to rise and set fire
to the property at given signal.
But the boldest of them went so
far as to notify r. w. Meyer by
letter of the coming destruction.
Several posters were placed on the
main roads SO that people might
know and run away to save them
selves. But when the inmates
living in the houses belonging to
the Board of Health were given
notice to clear up and leave, they
rose up in body and protested
against it. They claimed that the
injustice would be greater to them
than to the Board of Health be-
cause they would be deprived Of
their dwellings, and they had no
!. desire to sleep on the roads. Meet.
ing with such an unexpected de-
fiance, the conspirators gave ur
what they intended to do, and SC
it did not come to pass.
The officers of the Board Of
Health at the Settlement at
tempted to find out the leaders
but up to the departure of the Mo
kolii for Honolulu, no one hac
been arrested.

only proved himself to be the
premier knight of the gloves in the
world, but has taught those who
indulge in the noble game what,
before he made his appearance, was
never dreamt of fear, Mr.. Editor,
that l have already somewhat
transgressed, but my object IN this
letter is to point out what rapid
strides cricket has made under the
burning sun of Australia, and to
commend the game to Hawaiians
most earnestly, feeling sure that if
once inaugurated the pastime
would take deep root, and that the
residents of these islands would
become proficient in the game
which is so popular in nearly every
part of the civilized globe where
the English language is spoken.
Although one would hardly expect
to find Graces, Murdocks, Black
burns, Gums, Spofforths, Shrews-
burys or Citizens amongst the resi-
dents of the Sandwich Islands,
everything must have beginning,
and there is no reason why practice
should not produce a team which
would be able to hold its own
against strong combinations from
either England or Australia,
where cricket is only played
during the summer season.
There is just another point to which
[ would like to refer before con-
Guiding. Many say when cricket
is spoken of, ooh! l do not like it,
it is slow and there is nothing in
it." This is just where the mistake
is made. Cricket is a scientific
game requiring patience, nerve, a
steady and keen eye in those who
engage in it, and persons who decry
it from spectators point of view,
in nine cases out of ten do not
fully understand the game, and be-
cause they do not, run away with
the false impression that it is un-
interesting and slow. Let anyone
see a good match and l am sure
that they will be anxious to see q
second.
Hoping that what l have written
will have the effect of rousing some
enthusiasm into those interested in
athletics and induce them to EN-.
brace the popular and manly game
of cricket, together with other kin.
dred sports.
Thanking you in anticipation,

Watling's Island, one of the
Bahamas, the first land that Col
umbus saw and landed on in his
voyage toward the new world on
the morning of October II, 1892,
lies in the direct path of the reg
ular steamers plying between San
tiago de Cuba and Philadelphia.
So near do the vessels pass that it
is within stones throw. Fields
Of seaweed and focks of birds can
be seen for miles around this his
toric spot, and these were the
reasons that induced Columbus
the day before to believe that land
was only a few miles distant. The
present inhabitants of the island
have no resemblance to Columbus
or his adherents, but are scantily
attired wreckers, who long for the
stranding of vessel to fill theil
depleted purses.-[Ex.

After Whales in the Antarctic.

An experimental voyage, which,
though its main object is CONNER
cial, is not without interest of a
more general kind, says Science, is
about to be undertaken by Captain
Gray, of Peterhead, the well-known
Arctic whaler. Captain Gray is of
opinion that the value of the Ant
arctic Seas as a whaling ground
has never been properly tested,
and he has, according to the ''Pro-
ceedings of the Royal Geographical
Society,"" succeeded in raising the
capital necessary for prosecuting
an experimental voyage with a
couple of vessels of some 400 or
500 tons register, propelled by
auxiliary engines of 70 or so horse
power nominal.-EX.

VIII Issue a New Trust Deed and
Borrow a Large Sum of Money.
A special meeting of the Oahu
Railway 81 Land Company was
held on Saturday morning to con-
slider the question of issuing a new
trust deed and extending the road
around the island.
General H. J. Wiley, who was
sent here to make an examination
of the road, by a New York Invest
ment Co., was present at the meet
ing and addressed the shareholders.
He said he was favorably impressed
with the country and it's resources,
but as to the report to be made to
his company, he was silent. Mr..
Wiley admitted, however, that he
has found the condition of the
railroad exactly as Mr.. Dillingham;
described it.
Before the meeting adjourned il
was decided to issue a new trust
deed and extend the road provid
ing the necessary capital can be
obtained. Mr.. B. F. Dillingham;, the
General Manage of the road, who
is now in New York, was author
lied to borrow on the company's
property, sum not to exceed 81,
100000.

MR.. EDISON

in designing the Mimeo-
graph took as his principle, the stylus,
the writing implement of man since the
art was first invented. 1t is the natural
instrument by which the hand can trace
characters. This is one of the reasons
why this machine has achieved such
popularity.
The pen or stylus glides easily
over the prepared stencil paper
with Just enough friction to make
writing identical to that done with
a hard lead pencil.
1t is used by jobbers sending out price
lists; retail stores use it sending circulars
direct to their customers; secretaries, in
printing notices of meeting. programmes,
etc.. hotels, printing bills OF fare and
printing bill and letter heads;
musics, sketching, maps in colors,
and in fact anything that a
lead pencil can do, this machine does.
1t is simple. Clearly and strong. Prints
on any kind of paper. Reproduces
copies of typewriter work that are exact

Mr.. F. G. Eyton-Walker, the in
tended tourist agent of the Hawa-

pan, returned from the Volcano by
the w. C. Hall last Friday. He

active during the nine days he
was there. Both Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa were capped with snow
for several days, but the snow was
beginning to melt away about the
time Mr.. Walker left. The rainy
weather had put the Punaluu road

Hin their hearts and the best OF wishes

AS long as a person lives in single
blessedness he is never real happy-he
feels the truth of the words spoken by
the Eternal one. is not good for a man
to be alone" Real happiness can only
be obtained when two loving hearts
have found each other and joined hands
to sail through life's stormy sea. First
their lifes real and true happiness are
found far "Tis sweet to work for
those we love-nc wonder maids will
wed.
