Overeating is generally condemned on
the ground that by stuffing the digestive
organs or by giving them too much to
do the food taken is prevented from
properly nourishing him who takes it. 1t
is possible, however, that one may suf-
fer from too much nutriment as well as
from too little, even when it is properly

A Suggestion.
Ants as Biters.

Ants are terrible fighters They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold Oh with a wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clinging with death hold to one an
other, making peculiar spectacle, sorle
with leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that tho
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. Elk

PAIR OF HOME SHIPS.
TWO FINE VESSELS FLOATING THE
HAwAIIAN flag.
Isles and John Ena-Owned
Here.

The present trip Of the ship Ha-
waiian Isles TO Honolulu is the first
time she has ever entered this port.
In June, 1898, the John Ena and
Hawaiian Isles appeared off port
together with lumber from the
Sound for Australia. Their draft
being so great and the channel at
that time being less deep than now,
the ships did not enter. The cap
tains came ashore, however, and
both vessels were registered under
the Hawaiian flag. Since then
they have visited various ports
around the world.
San Francisco is the home port
of the vessels. Though largely
owned here all of the business with
them is transacted at the former
port. They ply principally between
the Sound and Australia, taking
lumber down and returning with
coal. Being fast ships they have
never found difficulty i'll getting
charters, and invariably carry full
loads.
With respect =. to size the John
Ena and Hawaiian Isles are the
giants of the Hawaiian feet Tue
former is nearly as large as the
Kenilworth, the big ship that was
here a few weeks ago. The Ena
is much larger than that vessel.
She will carry 1900 tons of sugar
with ease and is registered about
1000 tons above the Kenilworth.
The Ena has never entered this
port.

HIS DAYS In JEOPARDY.
POLICE CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE
TOWNS DOG POPULATIONS.
An Unwilling Tribute-The Health Con-
sideration- Fifty Scalps Are Taken
in "a Few Hours.

Senior Captain Parker started a
dog war at s o'clock this morning.
The law taxes every dog owner VI
for every animal kept. This is said
to be the hardest of all tributes to
collect. All manner Of people,
good or bad forget or neglect to
pay their dog taxes. The annual
revenue from this source should
amount, in Honolulu alone, to
from $4,000 to $1,000. AS it is
about $500 of this amount is lost
every year. If the dog is impounded
the cost is 90 cents, running the
total amount up to SI.6o. In
case the amount is not paid in three
days the animal is shot.
Some months ago the Board OF
Health took up the matter of dis
eased dogs. The committee re-
ported the fish market canine in
about as unhealthy condition as
Mark Twain's dogs of CONSTANT
nople. On the strength of this the
protectors of the public health de-
cided that all sickly dogs should be
killed, holding that they imperilled
the health of children and others.
This should be done whether the
tax were paid or not.
An examination of all dogs taken
by the police will therefore be
made, and all those marked by the
agent of the Board Of Health will
be shot.
Four policemen were sent out tc
hunt dogs at S o'clock this morn
ing. They remained out two hours
and roped in about fifty animals
upon which were no tags,

The Application for Charter Lodged In
1898 Congressman Wilson is
Sow senator

John n. Wilson one of the new
United States senators Of the state
Of Washington, is certain to be
heard on behalf of Hawaii in the
next congress. Mr.. Wilson has a
number of friends on the Islands.
John A. McCandless corresponds
with him and he became acquaint-
ed with the commissioners and
delegates who went on from here
i'll 1898.
When the annexation ENJOYS
were in Washington Mr. Wilson
was a member of the House. He
is the kind of man who knows a
good thing at once. Imme-
diately Mr.. Wilson became the
swiltest sort of an ally
to the agents of the people seeking
to make Hawaii nei a part of the
domain of Uncle Sam.
III the scheme OF annexation Mr..
Wilson saw more than the large
commercial, political and strategic
benefit to accrue from a union OF
the big and little countries. The
new senator is a business man him
self. He was so enthusiastic over
annexation that he believed it was
to be accomplished at once. He
intended coming here himself
and bringing capital, Mr.. Wilson
organized company to establish
and conduct the First National
Bank of Honolulu. He selected
home local associates, as we'll as
moneyed men of the States. The
application for the charter of the
First National Bank of Honolulu
was informally deposited with the
Comptroller of Currency, and is
probably there yet. AS a senator
Mr.. Wilson might not carry out
this banking plan, but his interest
in Hawaii, recent letters indicate,
has not been lessened.

THEY COME ON SHORE.
THE JAPANESE fMMIGRANTs WILL
NOT RETURN HOME.
Drafts Turned Into Money -Hsbeas Cor
pus Proceedings - An Onicial
Inquiry.

During the past twenty-four
hours a rumor has been going the
rounds to'the effect that a Sig hit
misunderstanding between tine Jap
anese consul and the Government
was impending. The matter has
now been satisfactorily adjusted, at
least in so far as the Government
and the japanese officials are con-
cerned.
When the steamer Independent
left Kobe for Honolulu she Lad
aboard seventy-one passengers " no
had been provided with checks in
the amount of $50 each on the
Yokohama Specie Bank of this city,
in the belief that they would fulfil
the requirements of the
immigration law OF 1894.
The wording of the law, however,
is Must have $50 in money, "
which Collector General Castle in
terpreted to mean coin or negoti-
able bank notes. The passengers
were therefore refused landing on
the ground that their drafts were
not money. The men refused to
sign labor contracts.
At the instigation of the Agents
of the ship the seventy. one laborers
signed a paper to their Consul
Friday protesting.
Consul Shimizu promptly called
upon Minister Hatch and COM
planned of the matter, his conten-
ton being that the checks were
negotiable and should be taken as
money. The matter was post
poned until today when a confer
ence between Minister Hatch, the
Acknowledgement and Collector
Castle was had.
The Japanese Consul did not
stop then, however. In conjunc-
ton with Ogura' & Company, Mr..
NJ. S. Edings was employed to
push the matter to head. Sc
this morning a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus to issue
against Collector General Castle fol-
the discharge of one Tarao Tsuch.
uyama and the delivery of his body
before Judge w. A. Whiting, was
presented to Judge Cooper. The
writ was issued and served.
In the meantime, however, the
Government had settled the matter
by instructing the checks collected
and the money turned over to the
emigrants. Those whose check:
prove to be negotiable can ther
land. Others will be returned tC
Japan.
1t is understood that had the
checks proven bogus Consul Shi
mizu, acting upon the advice of hi:
counsel, would have protested
against the return of the immigrant
to Japan on the plea that the Jap
anese Government has never beef
officially notified of the existenc,
of the $50 law in Hawaii.
The checks were accepted by tn,

GREAT ESTATE DIVIDED.
TRANSACTIONS IN PROPERTIES OF
Ut. wATERBoUsE.
Some Important Changes OF Ownership
Business All with John Water
house-The Dimonds.

Important changes in the owner
ship of the Warehouse properties
were made yesterday. Under the
will of the late John Thomas
Waterhouse the merchandise stocks
on Queen and Fort streets were
divided between the three SONS,
Mrs. Rice of Kauai and the two
Dimonds, w. w. and Harry. The
Dimonds were to receive one-tenth
each. A suit followed in order
that a judicial partition of the pro-
perty might be had. This suit has
now been withdrawn.
John T. Warehouse closed a deal
with the Dimonds Friday for their
share i'll the business. Later, propo-
sitions made to Henry and William
Waterhouse and Mrs. Rice were
accepted. That closed out the total
interests and made John Water
house sole owner of the three
establishments. This, however,
does not effect the ownership of the
real estate on which the stocks are
kept. Henry and William Water
house and the Oimonds Immediately
withdrew from the business when
the deals were closed.
In other properties changes were
also made, notably i'll the old home
stead in Nuuanu Valley. This was
left to John and Henry Warehouse.
| Late yesterday the latter bought
the interest of the former, and this
valuable property is now owned by
Henry Warehouse.
Still later Henry Waterhouse
bought the Dimond property at the
corner of School street and Nuuanu
avenue. This was left to Mrs. DR..
Staugenwald, and was purchased
from her.
1t is yet uncertain what the
Dimonds will do. Harry will
probably return to San Francisco.
William will likely visit America
and will in the meantime decide as
to what business he will enter ant
where. Henry Waterhouse vii
continue in the real estate business
a venture in which he is meeting
with great success. William Wat
erhouse has returned to low;
where his principal interests now
are. John will be the merchan
prince.
