Officials are sometimes accused OF
neglec.ing minor sanitary measures
but even officials cannot sec
everything. The seeming neglect
is more often due to the failure OF
having the matter brought to their
attention. Honolulu has many
sections that need careful watch
ing from a sanitary point of view.
Why not, then, combine forces for
mutual benefit and assistance ?

FACING NEW CONDITIONS.

The survey of social and politi
cal conditions on Hawaii as given
by Labor Commissioner Armstrong
brings the Government and the
community of lawmakers N Homo
lulu face to face with facts that
must be met sooner or later. Ac-
cording as these matters are Crap
pied in embryonic state, Just so far
is the proper shaping of the nations
future made easy. AS the popula-
ton in the other islands increases
and the industries become more
diversified, the necessity Of local
government that can act quickly
by virtue of freedom from red tape
and loss of time in bringing local
affairs before the national authori-
ties, becomes a subject for serious
consideration. No one would pre-
sumo that the United States could
legislate to advantage in the daily
affairs of Honolulu. Though the
comparison, taken literally, is
broadly drawn and impossible, it is
not altogether dissimilar to the
conditions that may be presented
to this country on a smaller scale.
We desire to bring the country
into political union with the United
States, to advance American inter
ests and American ideas. To do
this we must create conditions so
far as may be, attractive to Ameri-
can settlers. The American is
naturally a home builder and is
willing to expend his time, strength
and energy with this object in
view, but the opportunities of his
own country are too manifold to
lead him to risk his independence |
in a foreign country. The discus
sion Of the proposed land law will |
undoubtedly lead TO the eradica-
ton of many of the unfortunate
conditions now confronting the
Anglo Saxon.
It is in the hands of the Govern
ment to make these islands more
acceptable. to the Asiatics than the
American. The latter is indie
pendent and will go elsewhere
rather than attempt to compete
with the former. AS Mr.. Arm
strong says, the struggle for the
of races is now on TO a
certain degree. 1t is the opportunity
Of the Republic to reform con-
ditions, the natural outcome of
Furthermore, settle
ments are rising to the dignity of
municipalities and must be gov
erned as such.

PROF. J. G. LEONARD
Will Give Sittiugs For a Few Days
More.

Upon the earnest solicita'
ton of several of the most
prominent residents of this
city, Prof. J. G. Leonard has
consented to continue giving
private interviews to his pat
rous for a few days more.
The opportunity to visit
him and test his marvellous
powers should not be neglect
ed. A consultation with him
will convince you that he Is a
most remarkable man, aid
that which has been said of
him In all the local Press, falls
far short of what he is able to
demonstrate to those who will
call upon him. Those who
have already consulted him
are not only convinced, but
astonished and amazed.
All sittings are regarded by
the Professor as strictly pri-
vate and confidential.

We know not. Hawaii is in

very great extent becausethere
is no doubt that her commerce
will be increased by the COM
pletion of one or both of the
measures. Nor is Hawaii the
only locality to be benefited.
The United States, particularly

ment incident to the surroundings, not one
detected the real nature Of the feat. They
were expecting to contend against some
subtitle, hidden force, and thereby all at
tentiOn was diverted from things so COM
mOnplace as simple mechanics. The
fourth one to attempt this feat made no
effort that was appreciaDle. His declara-
ton that the chair seemed to be resting
on "solid block encouraged the hope
that very decided hypnotic effects would
arise. This hope was in part fulfilled in
the case of one who was by several oh

showing that this mysterious power
could be transferred to a child in such a
way that man could not Lift him from the
floor. Up to this point the various feats
had been as sure of success as is the APP
plication of well known mechanical pow
ers But now it was dependent upon the
will of another. BY what agent could l
deprive him of all power to do this simple
thing? / left this to his imagination; to
the belief that he had in my power over
that whatever | attempted must succeed.

him to stand i'm the aisle. Telling him
that | was about to fasten him to the
floor, | looked intently at him for a NOM
ent asking him if he knew what / was
doing. He nodded his reply with a stare.
Suddenly the corners Of his mouth witch
ed. his eyes for a moment opened wide;
a shuddcr passed over him; his eyelids
dropped; and he lost consciousness. All
ewes were fixed upon the now rigid cat
aleptic form. Turning TO the audience, i
watched to see what impression this evil
dent change in the boy had made. 1t was
quite clear that | was master of the situa-
ton; that all ACKNOWLEDGED my power over
the boy. To no one, perhaps, was this
result unexpected as to myself. 1t had

made would be quite sufficient for my
purpose. This result, altogether uninten-
tionaI ON my part, greatly heightened the
effects already produced Seeing from the
expression of one well known to all pre-
sent that he was thoroughly convinced of
the presence and operation of mysterious
agencies asked him to go quickly behind
the boy and see if he could lift him.
Grasping him by the arms he made what
appeared to be most vigorous effort;
vet he did not even elevate the boys
shoulders. Turning to the audience, he
remarked that he had never felt such a
weight like that. and that though a strong
man, he could not lift the boy. By word

The New Time Table Becomes Eff

APPOINTMENT OF W. W. WILSON.
Link Line Property Attached for Debt.
Charges on Observation-Disclosures

The new time table on the International
| and Great Northern, which shortens the
time of the fastest through train out OF
Texas Just one hour, in 2S2 miles, goes into
effect today When the International man
aEemeut shortened the running time be-
tween Galveston and st. Louis some SIX
| hours and inaugurated its fast mail train,
| which covered the distance of si2 miles in
| tweuty-ninc hours and forty minutes, II
was considered an excellent schedule, and
| much faster than any other through train
service entering Texas. That this fast
mail woul bear of faster time and a
| shortening of its time has been demon
stratod daily since its Inauguration last
| August and the present stiffening of the
| run is not to conclude the increasing OF
| the running time by any means. seven
| hours have been chopped off the schedule
| between Galveston and st. Louis during
| the past twelve months and 1t is the IN
| tention OF the management TO gradually
| reduce the time between these two points
| until twenty-four hours run Is attained,
| and perhaps even less.
Under the new schedule the fast mail
| train known on the dme table as No. 6,
will leave Galveston daily at p, M, reach
| Houston at go p. m, ana leaving mere
| at 525 H. m arrive at Palestine at 300
| p. M and enter 1.ongview at 1850 a. m
The change in the fast mail train ne
| cessitates a few minor changes In tho
Galveston Houston trains, the correct time
| for which is here given:
ST Louis trains leave II a. m, 5:25 p. M;
| arrive $50 a m. and 1910 p. m. Calves
ton trains leave 6.l0 a. M, l2A5 p; N.
| and $40 p. m; arrive 5;2a a. m. lo'io a.
| m. $50 p. m. and 1855 y. m.
The time of the regular local tram.
which leaves here iaily at II a. m. has
