An Abnormal Condition.

That a wave of "hard tines
has swept all over the world dur
ing the last years is an establish
ed fact and that Hawaii to-day
is feeling the effects of it is un-
deniable. Where this country
makes an exception is the unwil-
liDgness of the community to
change their mode Of living dur
ing the lean years from that JUS
tilted and proper during the fat
years Salaries and wages and
revenues generally have been de-
creased in Honolulu during the
last year but the expense of liy-
ing seems to be exactly the same
as formerly. A large number of
houses are standing empty yet
the owners decline to make any
suitable reduction In rents, All
necessaries Of life are quoted at
the same figures as before the
hard times" and the result is
that many a wage-earner finds it
hard to make both ends meet.
One Of the best posted fnanciers
In Honolulu claims that investors
in real estate must be pleased by
a return of six percent on their
investments, and for that reason
the rents must naturally be kept
at their present high rate. We be-
lieve that if Hawaii ever is to
become truly prosperous it will
be necessary to abandon the idea
that a cafe investment shall pay
five or six percents dividends. In
Europe and America, people
now a days are well pleased to
get three percent on real estates
investment aud the cheaper
money becomes the more benefit
does the people derive. Some
of our patriots 81, who now have
possession of the government
should set an example and for
once remember the needs of the
workingman in their calculations
and speculations.

UNCoMPLIMENTARY.

1t is evident that the editor OF
the Advertiser does not overes-
innate the moral quality of our
heretofore alleged immaculate
Christian sugar barons. In this
mornings issue appears the fol-
lowing astounding paragraph:
The planters are not making
sugar for the fun Of it. II they
can make cheap sugar by employ
ing the labor of apes, or OF Afric-
an pigmies or if they could find
a race of skeleton men. or fat
women, such as are usually found
IN dime museums, who would
cheaper the labor market, they
would as a rule, employ them.
And it with such patriots"
that the workingmen of the Am
erican League and the Scheutzen
Club have cast their lots.
Verify, politics make strange bed
fellows.

An Increasing Evil.

AT one time, it was no easy
matter to obtain divorce in the
Hawaiian courts. Lately change
has come over the principles,
which formerly have ruled the
judges and divorce suits are now
an everyday occurrence, and in
every instance is the divorce
granted. Cases in which collu-
sion between the parties is OBJ
vious are heard in an off-hand
manner, and the marriage con-
tract dissolved in double-quick
time.
1t is a pity, that there seems to
be a tendency to initiate certain
courts of the United States in
this particular line. No public
ity Is given to divorce cases by
the Press in Hawaii, and we are
inclined to believe that the hole
and-corner method now employ
ed is an inducement TO many
people who otherwise would
refrain from airing their grieyanc.
es and wash their domestic soiled
linen before the public.
Divorces are a necessary evil
which the society everywhere
tolerates, but restricts as much
as possible. 1t is to be hoped
that the Hawaiian courts of today
will cease to deyiate from the
principles of the Hawaiian courts
of the past. There are decisions
on record by Judge Judd aud
other members in which it is
amply proven that the courts in
those days did not entertain suits
for divorce brought on frivolous
or trifiing grounds. Public sent
iment should help the courts, the
state and the church in making
divorces a serious matter in which
the parties implicated. how much !
they at times may be deserving of
sympathy, are met with disfavor |
by organized society.

Want DeGama Removed.

BUENos AYREs, Jan. 31.-Dispatches
from Rio say the insurgents are prepar-
ing for vigorous attack on Santos and
Santaulo. News of the firing between
the United States warships and the in
surgent vessels seems to have been
greatly exaggerated. The dispatches
here say only signal shots were ex-
changed, and none fred in real earnest.
The insurgents feel greatly discouraged
at Admiral DeGama's practical sarren-
der to the United States admiral. 1t is
reported the younger officers favor hav-
ing him replaced by more energetic
commander

NEWS NOTES.

The tariff bill was further fixed up
yesterday by the addition of the income
tax and an increased tax on whisky.
The president, it is understood, will
not send congress the latest batch of
Hawaiian correspondence, including
Dole's reply to Willis, until Friday. 1t
is said Dole's reply is a vigorous and
pointed document. of about 1000 words.
Willis asked for seven specifca tions
Dole gave him about thirty.
In Cincinnati yesterday it was found
that counterfeit silver dollars made OF
pure silver, and of quality better than
the genuine, were afioat on the local
market. Aside from slight flaw in the
milling, the coin cannot be told from
the genuine. The government authori-
ties but recently broke up an alleged
den of counterfeiters in the bottoms,
and several suspects are now in jail
awaiting trial. At the present price oi
silver, about $1,000 can be made at a
cost of about $3.50.

Two sailors on the petrois Hurt.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The only new
phase in the situation at Rio is that
Secretary Herbert has called on Ben
ham for written report of his trouble
with De Cana to be sent by mail for use
in any complications that may arise.
1t is probable another cable message
from Benham will reach the secretary
today. The report that an officer and a
bluejacket were injured on the Detroit
by the threatened hostllities is confirmed
at the navy department. They were
not wounded by the shots from De
Gama's ships, but through the careless
handling of the guns on board the De-
troit. Their injuries are very slight,
and it is stated they have only them
selves to blame for the occurrence.

IN A HURRICANE.
Story OF Queer Thing That Happened
In the East.

Story OF Queer Thing That Happened
In the East.
+. A story comes by mail from the far
east and tells one more of the wonder
full things which happen to those who
have their homes on he'great waters.
The story concerns the big four
masted iron ship Lucipara. She halls
from Glasgow, and recently made a
voyage from Sharpness to Sydney, N.
S. w. While sailing along between
the Cape of Good Hope and Australia,
the ship ran into hurricane, or was
ovs rtal1en by one, about midnight.
Suddenly the sea, which had been dam
gerously high, became calm, and to
those on the ship it seemed as if the
surface of the ocean had been sub
jected to an enormous pressure, by
which the waves were stilled. Without
warning the men We're almost blinded
by sheet of flame, which enveloped
the ship from stem to stern, and
reached half way up the masts.
This wave of flame surged back and
forth, fore and aft, for few seconds,
and was then snuffed out as suddenly
as it had appeared, leaving captain
and crew CROPPING about in intense
darlznessl The binding glare was ex-
tremely painful to the eyes, but caused
no damage either to the men or to the
ship. Capt. Witt said it was his first
experience of the kind, and he hoped
it would be the last.

B1ount.s method Criticised.

WASHINGTON, Jan. SIC. L.McAr-
thur, ex-senator from New York and
editor of the Troy Budget, was before
the senate Hawaiian investigation COM
mittee today. Hewent to Honolulu in
March for the purpose of Investigating
the situation. He told the committee
he went there prepossessed in favor of
the queen, but came away entirely con-
vinced that the revolution was justified
and that the queen was unfit to rule the
islands. Macarthur was on the islands
az the time Blount was there and was at
the same hotel. He declared Blount's
report perversion of facts, as he had
gathered them. and also pronounced as
absurd the story of Stevens conspiracy.
Macarthur criticised Blount's method of
obtaining information and declared the
most ordinary newspaper man would
have gone into the subject far more
thoroughly.

STAR SHOWERS.
Times When They Fell from the Heavens
Like Hail.


Like Hail.
The first of the notably '.third of a
century" meteoric displays which went
into the records occurred on November
s12, 1899, and was witnessed by Hum
boldt, the scientist traveller, in South
America. Humboldt gave q vivid de-
scription of it, which is in books on
popular astronomy. Boupland, an
other scientific writer who also OBJ
served the display, said that from the
beginning of the phenomenon there
was not a space in the armament equal
in extent to three diameters of the
moon that was not filed at every mo-
ment with bolides and falling stars.''
The next of these third of century
star showers occurred on the night of
November 10, 1888, and it lasted seven
or eight hours. During most of this
time the meteors flying through the air
were as thick as snowfiakes in a mod
crate snowstorm. This was seen all
over North America. In the southern
states many of the slaves were SO
frightened by the spectacle, thinking
the end of the world had come, that
some of them died with terror. But
the fright was shared in to a large ex-
tent by whites also, and all over the
country.
Thirty-three years later, or in 1866,
Europe saw almost as remarkable a
star shower, at the same. time in No
vember, which lasted six or seven
hours; but as this country was still
turned toward the sun at that time we
missed most of it. The next year,
though, the shower came when it was
night here, and as the atmosphere was
clear it was observed over the greater
part of the United States.
As this third of n century law of
periodicity is established we may ex-
pect another of those notable displays
in 1899 or 1900 at the same time in No
vember.

DeGama,s Nephew killed.

Rio DE JANElRo, Jan. 31.-American
vessels that desire to come to the piers
in this city can now do so without being
interfered with by the insurgents. The
negotiations to settle the troubles by ar
bitration in which Benham was acting,
are at a standstill. This is probably
due to the fact that De Gama's nephew
was killed early Monday morning while
engaged in a fray alongshore on a tug.
The American minister today sent a
long cable to the state department at
Washington.

A Jai1break Frustrated.

HELENA, Mont. Jan. 31.-Three high
waymen in Jail at Billings made des-
perate attempt at escape yesterday
morning. One of them is dying and the
other two are still safe behind the bars.
This result is due to the courage and
nerve of Charles Stoll. the jailer. The
highwaymen are Bob Vestal, Ed Moore
and Martin Wilson. Moore had got
possession of slungshot made of the
head of a heavy wrench wrapped in an
old stocking, and while the jailer was
unlocking the door struck him on top
of the head blow that would doubtless
have been fatal but for the fact that he
wore heavy cap with large button on
top. Moore and his pals at once got the
keys and went into the back yard to
get horses. Stoll got his Winchester
and went for the fugitives, though he
knew they were armed and desperate.
AS soon as he appeared Moore fred at
him with six-shooter three times, but
without effect. Stoll replied with three
shots from his rifle, and all took effect.
The firing brought the sheriff and others
to the scene, and Vestal and Wilson
were soon recaptured.
