before his execution was to take
place the sentence was committed to
life Imprisonment. Lui is a worthy
character, and is considered one of
the best behaved and hardest working
prisoners in Mr.. Lows charge.
Chung Hook, although at present IN
China, deserves mention. He was,
probably, the worst prisoner that was
ever confined here. He was convicted
no less than eight times between June
81, 1884, and March IL, 1885, and his
sentences aggregated ten years and
seven months. He escaped from pris-
on twice. His sentences were for the
following offenses: Opium in posses
sion, two months; house breaking,
two years; larceny in the first degree,
three years; escaping from prison, six
months; larceny, two years; escaping
from prison, nine months; assault and
battery, two years, and carrying con-
cealed weapons, two months. On
January %, 1892, he was pardoned and
deported to- China. After his recap
ture the second time, it was found that
he had cut and burned three large
moles that had been a prominent
means of Identification. His second
capture was made by James Kau-
hane, the policeman who was MUIR
dered a few weeks ago.
PulOlo, woman prisoner, is an
other whose atrocious deeds attracted
a great deal of attention a few years
ago. She is known as the Lanai sOr-
ceress, and she is serving two terms,
one of fifty and the other of twenty
years-practically a life term, as it is
hardly probable that she will live un-
til her time is up. Her crime was
most frightful one. She was consid-
cred a 'Kahuna by the superstitious
natives of Lanai, on account of some
cures that she was credited with max
ing. Taking advantage of her sup
posed powers, she brutally murdered
her sister, her nephew and another
man not a relative, and tortured her
brother horribly by burning his whole
body with a torch soaked in kerosene.
In these murders she was assisted by
eleven other natives, who were guided
by their superstitions, four of whom
are now serving long sentences on the
reef.
lhr. Low is a most hospitable man.
He keeps open house for those unfor-
Inmates who have to have their liberty
restricted. ANY one wishing to spend
a few years in q quiet retreat, where
he will not be worried by any cares of
the outside world, where his diet will
be healthy, and where no extra eX-
pense is required in the way of
clothing, can do so by committing a
burglary or a murder. The only dis
advantage will be that he will not be
allowed to stroll out in the evening,
nor to- have that social intercourse
with his fellows that we all of us so
much desire.

DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours of the
18th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Go. OF New York, and erected by
the Hllo Sugar Co. this past season,
Iwould beg to say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see of
its capabilities, the better pleased | am
that put it in, as l am satisfied that il
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
Ii is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
eaSe, and it could shred a much larger
quantity II necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane In an even uniform feed
TO the three roller mill, which receives il
without the Intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four "a men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration In adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is tax d to lis highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But L find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The negass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemen
have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
form pressure Of steam than formerly.
will be pleased to have call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine at work to fully appre-
ciate its capabilities.
remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.
W- Plans for erection of
these shredders may be seen
at the office of the Agents,
where prices aud other parti-
culars may also be obtained.

There Slupsky and Able quarrelled, Able
charging that Slupsky had once hit him
without reason in another saloon. Slupsk,
resented the charge, and finally gave ABB.

The latter did not resent this, but Gallo
way became party to the quarrel by say
iog that Jew-and he qualified the term

him a vigorous upper cut, at the same in
slant tripping HIM up, causing him to meas
