HoBoKEN poOToR's PROBATION

A Man. Either Drunk or Insane,
Given a Combination Dose.
Shortly after it became dark in Hoboken
last night a man about thirty years old,
with wild eyes and straight hair stole
cautiously along Jefferson street. At Sixth
and jefferson streets there is a stretch of
water, part of the old meadow, and into this
the man jumped. He sank up to his waist,
partly in mud. He let loose q weird screech
that sent a hole in the damp Hoboken att
~mosphere, and caused a herd of mosquitoes
Orange bound to pause and listen. Then all
was silence, save an occasional splash in the
murky water. The man must have found
the bathing pleasant as he manifested no in
tention Of swimming out again he would
luck under water and gurgle and mutter like
a child. About nine O'Clock Roundsman
Cross happened along. He saw the man,
and summoned Policemen LeahY and Hayes
and the police ambulance. The bathing
man was coaxed to terra frma and was
bundled into the wagon and taken to Police
Headquarters. 1t was not known whether
he was suffering from alcoholism or was de-
| mented DR.. Simon doctored him for both,
and he was placed on a couch in the prison
corridor.
A number Of papers were found in bis pocket
by which it was learned his name is August
Wachendorfer. His address is not known.
Letters of Recommendation showing him to
be an industrious worker were from Bea-
dleston and Woerz, this city Joseph Epping,
Brooklyn and Lion Brewery, New York. He
evidently, by the number of letters. is con-
| nected with a brewery somewhere, probably
| as q driver. A receipt book from 81. A.
| Lodge, No. z, 1852 was also found, showing
! chat he was initiated in 1898. Doorman Det-
! ters had to watch the man all night lest he
| might do violence. He tried to chew up a
| blanket thrown over him, and persisted in
I shouting all night long. This morning he
| was held by Recorder McDonough pending
! examination as to his sanity.

WOOD AS A DIET IN SIBERIA.

esDid you ever hear of wood being used for
food2'' inquired Amion [. Vandervate, OF
Pensacola, Fla, last evening. II travelled
rather extensively through Siberia q few
years ago, and found that among the ma
tives along the northern coast wood in a
certain form is a most common and constant
article of diet. The natives eat it because
they like it. Even when fish are plentiful
it usually forms part of the evening meal,
as many cleanly stripped larch logs near
every hut testify. These people know by ex-
perience that the fact of their eating wood
arouses the sympathy Of strangers, and
shrewdly use it to excite pity and to obtain
q Gift Of tea and tobacco. They scrape off
the thick layers immediately under the bark
of the log, and chopping it fine mix it with
snow. It is then boiled in q kettle. Some
a little fish roe, milk or butter is mixed
with it.n-St. Louis Gtobe-D Democrat.

Wouldn't Pay Their Taxes.

Eight natives on Molokai have
refused to pay their taxes. Suit
was brought against them and
judgments obtained. They have
taken an appeal to jury. Ma
hinu, who will be remembered as
an undesirable member Of the last
Legislature under the monarchy,
figures as ringleader in the trans
action. The ground upon which
the refusal was made is that Mrs.
Dominis is the sovereign of the
country, and that no one else has
any authority to collect taxes. The
mossbacks Of Molokai are a year
behind the times.

Upon the assurance OF one
man that the Locked Fence
was superior to any fence
manufactured, we undertook
the introduction of it in the
| Hawaiian Islands. Our most
| difficult sale was the first one,
because it was a hard matter
to convince our customer that
it was better than anything of
the kind he had ever used, but
from the first sale many others
have cropped out until now
we are making large sales of
it on Oahu. Kauai, Maui and
Hawaii. Once the fence is
examined, it is an easy matter
to see in it many advantages
not to be found in any other
style, nor is there half the
economy in the conventional
wire fence as in the new
method of building,
We do. not know the average
life of a fence post, but COM
mon sense teaches us that
steel will last very much
longer than wood. That is
one of the economical points
claimed by us for the Locked
Fence. Instead of using eight
hundred and eighty posts in a
mile of fencing, one hundred
and seven answers the pur-
pose by our method of build
ing. You can very easily see
that there is considerable
economy even in the original
cost of the fence. Add to this
the saving in repairs and the
locked fence costs you fifty
per cent. less than an ordinary
wire fence.
Among the goods of the
Standard Manufacturing Co. is
a bathing pool that fits in the
floor and reminds you of some
of the illustrations of Egyp-
tian life. We sent one of
these handsomely embellished
in bronze relief decorations to
the residence of a Honolulu
gentleman yesterday-we will
have others here as soon as
they can arrive from
Pittsburg.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. EDITOR: The striking Jap
anese at Koloa had not returned to
work on the Goth inst. These
men (about 100 men of the last
two lots, Nos. "a and 25) come
from a part of Japan the inhabit-
aRts of which are known as trouble
some and unruly. There are some
bad characters among them, dis
charged schoolmasters, etc., who
act as ringleaders and conspire
against the plantation to do as
little work as possible. It is not
true as, stated in the GAZETTE, that
the overseer, Schimmelpfening, has
beaten the men. They assaulted
him because he tried to make them
work properly, and he was hurt so
much that he had to stay in bed
for three days. The ringleaders in
this attack were convicted and
punished before the Court. The
men seem TO act under an under
standing with other men of lots "a
and % on other plantations, who
no doubt contribute to a common
fund. The japanese inspectors do
not blame the manager Of the plan
tation for the strike of these men,
there having been no trouble on
the plantation for several years.
The men were all arrested and
confined IN the Lihue Jail, but
were released on their promise to
return to work. This promise they
did not, however, keep.

THE Holomua argues that the
"queen" could not possibly have
used the word ''beheaded," because
Hawaiian law does not provide that
punishment for treason. This is the
most "disloyaf' utterance which
has ever appeared in the Holomua.
Does not the Holomua know that
TIE "queen" is herself the source
and fountain of all law, and con-
sequently of this which cuts off the
heads of her enemies? 1t is enough
for her to say, in the style of the
first chapter of Genesis, LET there
be a chopping block" and there is
one.

THE objection has been made to
the comments in the ADVERTISER
upon the conduct of the United
States Consul-General, that they
apply with equal force to all those
members of the diplomatic corps
who ignored the communication of
the Provisional Government. This
is a very troublesome, obtrusive
objection, and squirm as we may,
there does not seem to be any way
of getting around it It is a COM
fort, therefore, to know that the
diplomats in question have finally
found their pens and come to their
senses, and made their replies.
