God give - strength to run,
UnaHed by Earth or Hell,
The race ye have begun
So eIOTiOusly and well.
Whittier.
CAPTURED; WHAT NOW?

The all-powerful hand of martial
law has within its grasp every
rebel leader. The rebellion is COM
pletely and thoroughly broken and
the Government has before 1t the
terrible responsibility of the dis
eosition of the men who have been
implicated in poisoning the native
minds with the drugs of insurrec-
ton. In less than two weeks the
true character of Robert Wilcox,
Sam Nowlein, and the men who
constitute the colony at Oahu
Prison has been shown in its true
light. They are towards, root and
branch. Had their plans not been
interrupted they would have stoop-
ed to the lowest, most fiendish
crimes known to the civilized
world. They were not to stand up
and fight like men. The dyna-
mite bombs augured nothing but a
slaughter of innocents. Defence
less women and children were
to be numbered among the
victims. The destruction Of prop
srty and loss of fighting men in
battle is as nothing compared with
the barbarous, inhuman methods
mapped out for the rebels to pursue.
These are facts which must not
be forgotten. What though the
plans were not executed The
spirit was there. The rebels are
thoroughly cowed, willing to sell
the souls of every man in their
ranks to save their own skins. Let
them cringel Let them covert Let
them show what miserable wretches
they are, and let each receive as
never before the full extent of retri-
button which martial law allows.
We have no time for sympathy.
Two long years has the Govern
ment been lenient toward its enc
mics.
The welfare of the country de-
mands prompt action against Will
cox, Nowlein, Davies, Richard and
others against whom the officials
have damaging testimony. The
men in the field demand it.
We do not advocate meeting slaugh-
ter with slaughter. We have our
reputation abroad to sustain, but
the country wants no short impris-
onment, no tissue paper screen of
punishment to cover a policy of
weak lenieDcy. The men in the
field have stood by the Government
and their loyalty must be recipro-
Gated. The rebel leaders have
shown themselves not only enemies
of the Republic, but to humanity
in general. They have forfeited all
rights to life and liberty. The dig
nifty of the Hawaiian Republic
must be maintained. There are
plenty of courageous men to stand
at its back. Let justice, an un-
mountaineering justice
reign.

eff you won't eat my -four
won't eat your sugar"
This must have its effect upon
Hawaii in some way or other,
because nearly everything con-
nected with sugar deals with
us here. Then again a bill
has been introduced in
Congress to repeal the differ
entail sugar duty. That must
also affect US. AS the price OF
everything depends entirely
upon the supply and demand,
the cutting off of the Cuban
product, which is a large one,
reduces the supply and the
price should consequently ad-
vance proportionately with the
reduction of the supply. But
will Gresham insist upon car
rying out his retaliatory meas
ure? 1t may possibly be a bluff
to compel Cuba to. take the
staples of the United States.
Anything that helps sugar
helps Hawaii and if Mr..
Gresham has taken a step in a
direction that will add to the
prosperity of Hawaii it's a
"rustle of angels wings" his
heart knew not of.
The Wertheim Sewing Ma
chine is the best thing of the
kind ever brought to this
country. When tourists from
the United States drop
into our salesrooms and see
them the kick at their
government because the Ia
riff to their homes is
so high that they cannot af-
ford to use them. In Hawaii
the people enjoy the benefits of
almost a free trade IN such
things and consequently get
articles of European manufac-
ture that comes too high for the
average mortal in the United
States. The Wertheim leads
the van in all sewing machine
contests. The mechanism is
simple consequently there is
little to get out of order. 1t
sews three distinct stitches
and saves the operator from
hard work at hand sewing.
For general household sewing,
nothing can equal the Wer-
THEM, because of its versatility.
We sell them for about the
same price you have been pay
ing for a common one stitch
sewing machine.
There's been a thousand and
one different kinds of night
lamps made and half of them
are not worth a nickle apiece.
We have tried all kinds, some
we offer for sale, others we dis
carded. The latest is like a
nutmeg lamp with the excep-
ton that they have a reflector
and may be hung on the wall
or placed on a table. They're
worth a dollar each, but we sell |
them for SO cents.
There has never been a fruit
picker introduced here that
was satisfactory for use in
picking mangees or alligator
pears. We think we have the !
very thing for the purpose and
it costs you SO cents without a
handle, two bits more if you
have it fixed ready for use.
They are hard to describe and
they don't look like anything
else.

CHARLES HAMILTON FOUND
The Companion of Unfortunate Annie
Miller Working on Fourteenth
Street.

The whereabouts of the man with whom
Annie Miller, the unfortunate woman who
is suppo sed to have committed suicide,
was infatuated, seems to have been discov-
cred. A carpenter, who represented him
self as Charles Brown, applied for work
late last week at the Fourteenth-street
electric power-house, now in course of con-
struction.
His description tailed in every way with
that of Charles Hamilton, with whom
Annie Miller had been living, and who
engaged room with her at the st. David S
lodging-house Oh Howard street last Mon
day. Inquiry among his associates con-
firmed the identity, and it was stated that
he had boasted Of his ability to keep clear
of the officials. He has never called for
his effects at the lodglng-house, evidently
fearing arrest or detention.
1t is generally believed among the
woman's acquaintances that she has made
away with herself, as twice before she has
attempted her life, once by poison ,and also
by jumping from river boat.
She was about 20 years of age, and at
tractive in appearance. About year age
she got into bad company. Brown OF
Hamilton positively denies his identity
though the officials have little doubt and
believe he will be able to give some infor-
nation regarding the unfortunate girl.

WHO WILL Be THE B0SS2
Local Democrats WonderWhat
the OCCidentalS Will AC-
Complish.
Only Fifty-five of the $500 Invited
Attended the Meeting at
BuCkley's House.

There has been a large amount of gossip
among the members of the local Democ-
racy since the meeting Tuesday night in
| Buckley's headquarters in the old Peck
mansion, on the corner of Stockton and
Bush streets.
AS to political consequences, looking
toward the establishment of an organiza-
ton, it was fizzle. Fully $500 invitations
had been carefully circulated, but only
| ffty-fiye of those invited showed up, and
several of them after gazing for a few mo-
ments at the assortment of political incur
ables assembled, left.
Resolution" SPOTS, with his whereases,
being absent, Samuel Newman took the
secretarys chair according to time-honored
precedent. 1t was intended that Mr.. Nc
Carthy of the late Grand Jury should pre-
side, but ex-Supervisor Dundon assumed
the chair. He spoke of the crying need for
genuine Democratic reorganization, and
claimed that they must work from the
ground up.
He said that the most experienced lead
ers of the party had rendered their services
and the advantage of their experience to
the new Occidental Club which they were
there present TO inaugurate. His allusion
to experienced and able but unnamed
leaders brought forth vociferous applause
from the lambs who had seen days when
they were better fed.
few pointed remarks were made by
Thomas J. Glynns political manager, Ma
loney, on primaries as they used to be.
Mr.. Mccarthy expressed the hopes that
there would be no dissensions this year
and that all would work for the common
party good, and he strongly urged district
organization.
A committee was appointed to draft a
plan and another to hunt up men who
/ would agree to support it.
Later wine and sandwiches were served
and numerous toasts were given.
The news of this meeting of statesmen
had created CONSERVATION in the ranks of
the already well-defined and numerously
supported Iroquois-Popper division.
All who are opposed to the Occidental
Club and its votaries are waiting to see
what their so-called district organization
will amount to. 1t is freely predicted that
it is and will continue to be a fiasco, and
that the meeting would not have occurred
at all if the Pepper Iroquois organization
had not so strictly observed the rule thus
far that Buckley and Rainey people need
not apply.

ACTON'S STRANGE ACTION,
He Has Frank G. Woodward, a
Capitalist, Arrested for
Insanity.
Judge Campbell, on Learning the
Facts, Immediately Releases
the Prisoner.

The extraordinary case OF q perfectly
sane man being arrested on a charge ot
insanity and locked up in the Receiving
Hospital after being booked at the City
Prison occurred yesterday afternoon.
During the day John B. Acton, saloon.
keeper at 2216 Webster street, swore out a
warrant in Judge Campbell's court for the
arrest of Frank G. Woodward, capitalist
2211 Webster street, on charge of insanity
The warrant was handed to Policeman
Harrington, and he went to Woodward's
residence and served it upon him. Wood.
ward was not only surprised but indignant.
He told the policeman there must be some
mistake, but the officer pointed to the war
rant and insisted upon Woodward accom-
panying him to the City Prison.
He complied, and when taken before
Sergeant Shields to be registered on the
books at the prison he told him that some
one was evidently playing practical joke
upon him.
sThis warrant" said the sergeant,
"charges you with being insane, and ]
shall have to register the charge against
YOU"
"But, my dear sir" said Woodward, IT
am no more insane than you are. My wife
is very sick. She is at a period of life
WHICH is CrlClCdl. one mas Deen SuDJeCC TO
eplleptic fits, and when in that condition
she screams with pain, which possibly
made the neighbors imagine that some
body in the house was insane. l can &C
count for it in no other way"
The sergeant told him he had no other
recourse but to book him and send him to
the hospital. Woodward protested in a
courteous manner, but answered the usual
questions and went with the officer to the
hospital.
Attorney Mack learned of the case and
saw Woodward in the hospital. He imme-
diately went before Judge Campbell, who
was holding court last night, and laid the
facts before the Judge. The Judge sent
for Woodward and after talking to him for
a few minutes released him on his own
recognizance.
Woodward promised to appear before
the Insanity Commissioners this morning
and state his case. He promises to make
it interesting for Acton, his neighbor, who
swore out the warrant for his arrest.

MERCHANTS WON'T BID.
The Association Definitely Decides Not
to Compete for the Street-Sweeping
Contract.

The Association Definitely Decides Not
to Compete for the Street-Sweeping
Contract.
The Merchants Association has def
nitely decided that it will not be among
the bidders for the street-sweeping contract
this year. The action was taken at a
meeting of the board of directors yesterday
morning. The decision of the board is
modified, however, to this extent, should
the bids show by their figures that there
was collusion among the bidders, then the
association will ask that all bids be re-
iected, and then, should more bids be adj
vertised for, the association will be among
the competitors.
In any event, the association will CO.
operate with the Office of the Superinten-
dent of Streets in an effort to see the work
well done, no matter who has the contract.
The association has submitted specifca-
tions for the contract and has suggested
that the appropriation be raised to $780,,
600, but the Board of Supervisors has
to pass upon the specifications and the ap-
preparation.
A report was read from Ernest McCol-
Tough, civil engineer of the association,
upon means and measures for the i'm
provement of the streets. 1t will form the
topic for discussion at the next meeting.

EUREKA VALLEY SCHOOL,
A Modern Structure and One
of the Best in the
Department.
UP TO DATE APPLIANCES USED.
Miss Tarpey VIII Formally Organize
the New Glasses Next Mon
day Morning.

In less than thirty days Eureka Valley
will be in possession of schoolhouse
which will be easily the peer of any in the
City. The building is sufficiently com.
pleted to allow organization of the school
next Monday. though an immediate vaca-
tion of three or four weeks will be given, in
order to allow the contractor time to put
on the finishing touches.
The new school is on the corner of Nine
teenth and Collingwood streets, with a
frontage on the first-named thoroughfare
of 135 feet. The depth of the building is
exactly 113 feet 10 inches. There are three

toned by Budd'S New
Board.
DR.. Lovelace to Get Levingston's
Coveted Plum-Oodchaux for
Secretary.

The members of the new Board of
Health are very busy these days, but their
business is not confined to their Office
In fact, the least possible time they can
spend in their offices, sad though it be to
record, the better the men of medicine like
it. Their doorsteps are barricaded with
solid phalanxes of office-seeking politicians
who ali want the minor places in the gift
of the board. To catch one of the board
over the telephone one must transmit his
card over the wires, and the pasteboard
must be vised before it reaches the doctors
hands.
Governor Budd returned from San Quen-
tin last night, and went up to Sacramento
to make new books on the prison course.
He deftly lodged the bands of politicians
who were waiting to buttonhole him, and
left the work of standing off the office
seekers to his new appointees.
Before the Governor shook the dust of
San Francisco from his shoes it was de-
cided that DR.. Levingston was to be turned
down for the position of Health Officer
and that Quarantine Officer LawIors sue
cessor was to be somebody else besides DR..
Miner Both Levingston and Miner have
anything but kindly feelings for the chief
executive, but ne ither is saying anything
for publication. To their friends, though,
both professional gentlemen are less ex-
elusive, and no doubt the sinister aural
appendage of Governor Budd burned
bright carmine hue all last night
DR.. Arthur Loyelace will be the next
Health Officer, and the chances are more
than ten to one that DR.. w. p Chalmers
will be the next Quarantine Officer.
The latter place, it is said, was promised
to DIR. Potts, who had Barney Murphy of
San Jose behind him, but neither DIR.
Potts nor Barney Murphy ever consented
to father the statement. DR.. Chalmers
stands very high in the profession, and is
not unknown to Mr.. Murphy of San Jose.
Governor Budd also knows him and thinks
very highly of him, too. Friends of the
chief executive said last night that while
the Board of Health had no slate prepared
DR.. Chalmers was almost certain to sue
ceed Quarantine Officer Lawlor.
1t seems to be foregone conclusion that

the third on Collfngwood.
In all there are eight large classrooms,
each 26x34 feet, the whole having a seating
capacity of 400. Four of these classrooms
are on the first floor, and are fitted up with
all the conveniences which should be found
in modern school buildings. The windows
are equipped with patent sliding blinds,
while each room is supplied with the most
approved ventilators and receptacle for
hose as a protection against fire. In this
respect Douglass School is probably the
best prepared of any in the City to combat
the devouring flames should the occasion
arise.
In addition to the four classrooms on the
first floor, there is a principals room and
reception-room. Corresponding with these,
on the second floor, is found teachers
lunchroom and the library. The class
rooms on this floor are identical in size
with those in the first story, the only diff
ference being in the use of folding doors
as partitions instead of solid walls. Should
the occasion demand. the entire top floor
can be converted into large hall capable
of seating several hundred people.
Each floor of the building is supplied
with drinking fountains. In all the rooms
electric bells are placed connecting with
the principals Office. In the basement is
the janitor' room and also a general store
room. The balance of this portion of the
building has been fitted up for play
ground during the rainy season.
The building, except for solid concrete
foundation, is constructed entirely of native
woods, and will cost when completed $685.

DESPONDENCY AND DEATH.
L. n. Short Shoots Himself
in the Mouth With a
Revolver.
The Body Found In the Sand Dunes
by Boys Out Squirrel
Hunting.

L. Fl. Shortt, civil engineer living at
14l6 Clay street and having an Office at 100
Sutter street, committed suicide some
time Wednesday afternoon by shooting
himself in the mouth.
His body was found in the sand dunes,
three miles south of Golden Gate Park,
about IL o'clock yesterday morning, by
some boys who were hunting squirrels.
The weapon used was an improved ham
merless Smith e. Wesson revolver of 38
caiiber, the bullet lodging in the brain.
He was about go years of age and leaves
a wife. He has for years resided in Ala
media, owning his own property and, up to
two years ago, was in very prosperous cir
cumstances. AS result of the business
depression of the past two years many of
his plans have miscarried, and, though in
no pecuniary distress, it is thought that
continued brooding over his lack of sue
cess caused him to become temporarily de-
ranged. No direct evidence of this has
been shown, however, by his actions or
conversation.
His wife, lady OF refinement, says he
left their temporary residence, at 1416 Clay
street, Wednesday morning, telling her he
intended taking a business trip into the
country for few days.
The spot where the body was found is in
most inaccessible part of the sand hills,
and the Coroner's deputies found it neces-
sary to unhitch one of the horses and drag
the box containing the remains over three
miles through the brush and sand. The
deceased was q Mason of prominence and
fayorably known throughout the Coast,
having been connected with many Of the
engineering enterprises of California DUR
ing the last thirteen years. He carried a
life insurance, the exact amount of which
cannot, as yet, be ascertained.
