SIMON KILLS HIMSELF.
vON TOrAz, POLICE OFFICER
SENDS A BULLET INTO MS HEAD.
The Deed Was Premedit ated Found Out
How to Produce Instant Death
His History.

Simon Won Topaz, an ex-patrol-
man under Captain Klemme, shot
himself at o'clock this afternoon.
The ball was fired from
a SO calibre pistol. 1t
entered his head just above the left.
temple. The ball went through
the brain and stopped just under
the skin at the right temple. At
?. o'clock the doctor stated that
the wounded man would not live
all hour.
The act was premeditated' Won
Topaz has been respondent for
sometime. Last night he was at
the station house and asked
Captain Cordes to explain
where, i'll the head, a man might
shoot himself to produce instant
death. He was told straight
through the temples. Though it
did not occur to the officers that
Won Topaz contemplated suicide,
the manner i'll which the deed was
committed shows that he tried to
follow instructions to the letter.
He fired the shot while lying on
his bed at home just below Smith S
bridge. The police were promptly
notified and Lieutenant Holi went
down. He found the wounded
man i'll an unconscious
condition and gasping for breath.
He was put in a hack and taken to
the Queens Hospital where hasty
examination was made.
Won Topaz has been here many
years. He was aged 40 and leaves
a wife and children. Won Topaz
was for long time a hackdriver
He turned out January II, 1895
with the Provisional Government
forces. After a term in the
army, he was a mounted police
man. Then he was placed in the
secret service. He was a member
of Company A of the volunteers.
Won Topaz was faithful fellow
but was always trife peculiar.

AMERICAN LEAGUE.

1t was spiteful on the part of the
retiring editor of the STAR to init
mate that the paper was to pass
into control of the American
League. Whether innocently or
from motive, an evening contem-
porary repeated the story. Some
people liked the idea and some
didn't.
This paper is in no sense what
ever controlled, directed or inspired
by the American League. 1t is as
free from the dictation of that
organization as it is from similar
forces or influences.
If the American League deserves
a dressing down at any time it will
be handled without gloves. With
this paper it stands in precisely
the same relation as any other
society.
The STAR is not hampered by
any entangling alliances. We pro-
pose giving the public a news
paper.

SEATTLE is sending Honolulu
more men looking for work than
there are places. She is also send
ing some men of means looking for
investments. A hui of seven of
these latter engaged another new
conner some time ago to search for
coffee land for them. This agent
has returned from Maui with a
favorable report. These possible
investors are advised to confer with
Honolulu men who are going into
coffee. Then their information
will be reliable.

JAPAN's literary bureaus de-
clare that the purpose Of war upon
China is to rescue the people of the
Flowery Kingdom from the Tartar
dynasty. The intelligent Chinese
here agree that this is a commend
able mission. 1t is shrewdly sug-
gested, however, that Japan desires
incidentally to earn reputation and
profit as a conquerer. There is
nothing in the law Of nations
against this. Neither is there any
thing in the law of nations that
forbids the japanese capturing the
internal commerce of Hawaii and
ultimately acquiring more of the
same sort of goods. When it comes
to that the people of Hawaii are
the doctors. Are the island states
men alive to the situation ?

James f. Morgan, Councilman
and auctioneer has returned from
Hawaii after an absence of several
weeks. He is fine fettle now. Mr..
Morgan is not so stout but says he
feels we'll, and looks like an athlete.
He has been looking after the coffee
plantation in which he is interested
and is quite sanguine about the in
dustry.

ADVERTISING RATES .
SATURDAY. DECEMBER , 1894,
JUST A FEW WORDS.

Under the new regime there Will
be issued from this establishment
live, clean newspapers. These
will be devoted to the cause OF an
nexation, to advocacy of liberal
administration of the Government
of the Republic and the general
improvement and up-building OF
Hawaii nei
The STAR will in no sense be an
organ. 1t is not designed as the
mouthpiece of any society or COM
bination. The paper is simply
welded to the principles laid down
in the opening paragraph.
There is now no space in these
columns for absurd personalities
An appeal to prejudice is often
more affective than an appeal to
reason. But it is not fair, and it
doesn't pay in the long run. The
STAR will pride itself on its Ameri-
canism. This does not mean that
it is committed to the belief that
there is no other nation or people
on earth worthy of respectful and
thoughtful consideration. Many
countries as great and as good in
every way in their time as the
United States have been licked out
of their boots or have been blasted
by decay. Just now the United
States is the model of the world.
1t is manifestly the destiny of
Hawaii to become closely allied
with that country.
Any public question can be
freely discussed in this paper. But
people having petty private griev'
ances or axes of their own to grind
will take the job to some othe>
shop.
There are to be solved in littl
Hawaii some of the most puzzlini
problems ever confronted by PEG
pie. For this task there is required
the best mental labor of all VIII
have capable intellect. 1t is onl.
by cooperation and honest ell
deavor on the part of those titte
for the mission that our salvation
will be worked out. Public ques
lions must be handled with cali
Judgment. Passionate action mean
calamity.
In many respects newspaper put
LEGATIONS must heed the rules OF an
other business enterprise. TIL
STAR desires the patronage OF a
classes in Honolulu who want til
news and who have use for an ad
vertisiug medium. These facts ar
not to be overlooked by those IL
charge of journal. Without sac
rifcing an iota Of principle, tn
STAR remains in the list as
caterer to those who use newspa
pers.
With these few words the new
men at the helm settle down t.
business and say with the railwa,
engineer who started out to breal
the record, Watch our smoke.
