This is SO much the age of
the specialist that outside of
craftsmanship, we find very
few men accomplished in more
than one field. In some of the
vacations the pressure required
to reach proficiency is SO great
and constant that the machine
is good for only one thing. We
find f0l instance men like edu-
GATORS stenographers and fire.
queuuv physicians and
attorneys who are entirely lost
when called upon to act out
side their particular grooves.
In former years the specialist
was considered a weak vessel,
rather a partial failure. Now
he is looked up to as a properly
equipped man. One practical
reason for this is That there
are so many orators, as it were
that it is deemed necessary to
divide the question" in order
that all may have an opportu-
nifty of bein heard. The
porting specialist is an insti-
tuition IN most places. But in
Honolulu we have an athletic
element endowed with mixed
talent. The same names occur
for base ball, foot ball, field
games and rowing. We almost
have the sturdy, old fashioned
all-round athlete. In politics
we have him sure enough.
| He can deal out an office, settle
an international dispute OF
determine a Constitutional
question with equal facility
and speed. He knows just
how every act should read and
is lavish with his advice and
information. The cemetary
could ill-afford to spare these
wise men, but somehow they
are not greatly missed when
they disappear.

FATAL SHOT OF MISS FLAcLER.
ONE OF THE JURORS DISSATISFIED
WITH THE VERDICT.

He Claims That the Young Lady's At

fore the Grand Jury and Asserts
That the Coroner Promised That
This should BE Done.
Washington. Aug. 5-Gen. and Mrs. D..
". Flagler, parents of Miss Elizabeth
Flagler, who shot and killed Ernest
Green last week. returned home this af-
ternoon. Gen. FIagler did not report at
the war department as he is still on leave.
and his movements are not certainly
known. II is supposed that he will take
his daughter away with him for a time.
Renewed interest in the unfortunate
shooting affair was aroused this afternoon
by the publication of a card from George
NJ. J. Dorsey, a member Of the cOroner's
jury. charging that the verdict agreed
upon was changed at the suggestion of the
counsel for Miss Flagler. after it had
been settled and given to the coroner. Mr..
Dorsey says: when the jury was ready
to announce its verdict. that verdict was
concluded with the sentence we do think
that the shots were fired carelessly and
indiffcrently.' 1 believed that wording
was sufficient to carry the case 10 the
grand jury, otherwise, would not have
signed il.
After Coroner Hammell and Assistant
Attorney Jeffords came into the jury room,
Ross Perry. counsel for the defendant.
entered in company with Miss Flagler, and
then the crowd came crowding in. Mr..
Perry heard what was said, and remarked
to Coroner Hammell that something
should be added to the verdict. Mr.. Perry
then reached over and picking up paper
on which the verdict was written and al
ready signed by all the jurors handed it
to Mr.. Hammell. and suggested that these
words be added: And from the evidence.
We cannot hold the prisoner
MIR. Hammell then wrote these words
before the signatures. and turning to the
jury said: Gentlemen is this satisfactory
Four of the jurors nodded in the affirm
alive, but myself and one other member
OF the jury remained silent, and gave no
indication of our opinion.
Il was and still am firmly of the belief
that Miss Flagler should be brought be-
fore the grand jury. and that body should
consider the evidence and decide whether
Miss Flagler should be prosecuted.
II wish to say further that Coroner
Hammell assured me that all the facts
connected with the case would be brought
to the grand jury. My intention in holding
out was. and still is, to disagree with any
verdict that would set Miss Flagler with
out the Jurisdiction of the grand jury"

GLYNN HARD UP.
The school Teachers Unable to Col
lect Their Salaries.

Brunswick, Ca. Aug. 5-Superintendent
A. I. Branham of the Glynn county schools
has announced his intention TO resign his
position. This action is due solely TO the
fact that the board of education's largely
decreased income has caused a correspond
ing reduction in his salary, and he has
found 1t more profitable 10 accept another
position, although still retaining his res
ldence here. Glynn's schools are in bad
fix financially, and since the last term end
ed five of the teachers have resigned, four
of whom did so because their salaries had
been reduced to a mere pittance, and
back salaries were due them. which they
saw no prospects of getting within any
reasOnble length of time.
Solely through the influence of Presi-
dent Isaacs Of the board of education some
Of the teachers have got their money. he
accepting orders drawn on the board and
they using them as security on notes which
the banks discounted Had il not been
for President Isaacs financial standing
none of the banks would have honored the
orders and the teachers would still be
without their money.
Claims are made that the retrenchments
now being made by the board of education
Will keep the debt down. but similar claims
have been made before without good re-
suits. Superintendent Branhams resigna-
ton will be a blow to the system. He has
built the schools up finely and his place
cannot be filed by low salaried man.

OPEN DOORS AT ATLANTA.
The Council Delays Action on the
scheme of the Liberals.

Atlanta, Ca. Aug. 5.-The city coun-
ell chamber was crowded this afternoon
TO witness the action of that body on
the ordinance looking to the letting
down OF the bars" during the exposition.
For several years the saloons and billiard
halls have been required 10 close at 10
o'clock and no such thing as a turf ex-
change or pool room has been counte-
nanced With the approach of the expo
sition management some of the liberal
element decided that things should be
open for the entertainment OF visitors
and a midnight closing ordinance was in
troduced in council.
When the liberals showed their hand
the prohibitionists and reformers went to
work TO oppose the change. The Woman
Christian Temperance Union got up a
long petition and all the preachers united
in a solemn protest. These protest were
handed in at the meeting of council to-
day. II was expected that there would be
some lively talking, but to keep things
cool the ordinance was referred to a spec
ial committee without debate. This leaves
the result still in doubt and the reformers
say the proposed change would be a dis
grace to the city, while the others declare
the exposition will be a failure unless
this policy is adopted.

ida When Run Down.
Blackshear, Ca, Aug. 5.-David f. Sell
lers. the slayer of John p. Dixon, is in
the jail here He was captured between
Seals and Kingland on the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular railroad last Satur-
day morning by DR.. A. Boss and brought
here to-day. He says he left home an
hour after the killing and made his way
through the country by way of Hortens
and Waynesville TO the place where he
was captured, stopping on the way to
work for two days for a Mr.. Powell. He
was trying TO get to Florida and was go
ing under the name of Peter White. The
reward of 5000 was paid to DR.. Boss.
Waycross, Ca, Aug. 5-Sellars talks
freely and in a straightforward manner
of the killing. He acknowledges that he
committed the deed, but claims that he
was iustifiable According TO Sellars'
story he and Joe Dixon, John Dixons
brother, quarreled about some fodder, and
John Dixon took the matter up. He said
that John Dixon, at the time of the kill
ing. came into his yard and began to
abuse him in a severe manner and also
tried to take away his fodder He said
that he was grossly insulted by Dixon, and
shot him.
After the killing, Sellars fed to Kings
land and was not found by the authorities
until day or two before he was arrest
ed.
Sellars is a plain. old farmer, and very
alhterate. There seems to be much feeling
against him in Pierce county because of

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE GROWERS.
Movement in Florida For Lower
Rates and Diversified Crops.

Orlando. Fla. Aug. 5.-Recently a meet
ing OF citizens Of Lake county was held
to take into account the situation in
Florida and to inaugurate means Of bet
tering the condition of the fruit and veg
etable growers. At this meeting a COM
mittee was appointed to communicate with
other counties, inviting cooperation. This
committee was composed Of Alex St. Clair
Abrams, Ben Dowd, Ben c. Yancy, W.
I. Lame and f. H. Mote The committee
has formulated and Published a letter
asking that meetings be held in the sew
eral counties and delegates selected to
meet in convention In Orlando, on Tues
day, Sept. 5, AT 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The address says: 1T must be apparent
TO the people of all the counties that suf-
fered by the freeze of February, that il
will be worse than folly to attempt TO
raise another vegetable crop unless there
can be secured a radical reduction in trans
portation rates. and also some concerted
ana systematic process of distributing the
crop. 1t Is also apparent that the plant
ing of nothing but vegetables will re-
suit in production too great. in the pres
ent financial condition of the country
for the demand, and that it is necessary
to so diversity our crops for years to
come so as at least to give the growers
a reasonable assurance of a moderate
profit
The address further states that there is
absolutely nothing political in the pro-
posed convention, either directly or lndi-
rectiy. The sole and only purpose is to Sc
cure concerted action that will give re-
lief to the people of the several counties
so that population may be retained and
settlers from abroad secured.
II is too early yet to predict how this let
ter will be received by the people of South
Florida, or whether they viii generally
unite upon any plan which may be sug-
gested. Heretofore there has been a con-
spicuous lack of harmony whenever an
attempt has been made to unite them
in any line of action calculated to secure
the results herein aimed at. Possibly the
experiences of the past few months will
tend TO bring them together.

FIGHT OF THE STEAMSHIP LINES
A Conference to BE Held To-day to
settle the War.


Baltimore, Aug. "a conference will
be held at the Hotel Waldorf at New
York city tomorrow by representatives of
the Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company of Baltimore, the Ocean
Steamship Company of Savannah, the
Pennsylvania railroad, the Atlantic Coast
Line, and probably the Seaboard Air
Line. The meeting will be the result of
overtures made for the settlement of the
strained relations between the Merchants
and Miners company and the Ocean
Steamship Company The breach between
these two companies is said to have been
the outcome of a move on the part of the
Merchants and Miners Line to secure
freight in Philadelphia, destined for Sa-
vannah and other places in the south.
The Ocean Steamship Company objected
TO this competition and put agents in
Baltimore to solicit southern business.
This traffic was sent to Philadelphia on
the Baltimore and Philadelphia line and
thence southwark on the Ocean Steam
ship line. The Merchants and Miners
company responded by planning an inva-
sion of the Ocean Steamship Companys
New York territory, with a big reduction
in rates. taking the business of the Penn
sylvania railroad to Norfolk and there
connecting with steamers from Balti-
more. Overtures were made for an ami
cable settlement. and pending these. tenn
porary peace was arranged between the
rival companies. The Merchants and
Miners Company takes the ground that
Philadelphia is natural territory for its
operations. and that the sending of freight
from Baltimore by way of Philadelphia
and the Ocean Steamship line was round
about and unnatural route 1t, therefore,

ship Company from the Baltimore terri

RATES ON PEACHES.
The Interstate Commission to Hear
the Complaint To-day.


Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 5.-To-morrow the
interstate commerce commission will meet
here to hear the complaint of the state rail-
road commission in regard to the rate
on peaches to New York and other eastern
cities. This hearing is brought about by
the recent proceedings before the state
railroad commission, when the complaints
of the peach growers were sustained and
the railroad commissioners decided that
the rates should be lowered. This case,
when heard before the state commission
ers, was very lengthy, and it is probable
that it will take the national commits
sioners much longer to hear the case thor
oughly discussed. The general charge
made by the Georgia commissioners is
that the rate is too high and that il should
be lowered. They have selected a rate that
they think will increase the shipments,
and this rate will be suggested tomorrow.
