shot Three Times at a Woman ana
Failing to Hit Her Tries to
XIII Himself.

At his home, Niolopa, at about B
%. m. Yesterday, John Kaahanui
shot three times at Miss Kupihea,
the woman with whom he had been
living, and failing to hit her cut
himself in three places.
Kaahanui had just returned
home after doing time in Oahu
Jail for playing che ia. He found
his domestic affairs in an unsatis-
factory condition, and taking his
rebel revolver, a remnant of the
revolution of year ago, began
shooting at the woman. He must
have been quite close when the
shots were fired, as the back of the
woman's dress was blackened with
powder. She made break to get
awav and Kaahanui fired two more
shots at her.
Finding the woman had made
good her escape, he got knife and
cut himself twice in the right side
and once in the left just below the
| breast.
When Lieutenant Renken arrived
on the spot Kaahanui ran out ex-
claimining: 81 love my wife too
much ~ Examination proved the
man to be badly wounded. He
was attended by DR.. Emerson and
removed to the hospital. His
wounds are not considered fatal.

Kauai.

hGIdls
Advices from Hilo say that
Wirth's circus enjoyed large pat
ronage at the four performances
given there. The circus opened
on New Years evening and closed
Saturday night. At the closing
performance there were more peo-

made.
The Kinau brought the circus to
McGregor's landing Monday, and
the aggregation opened at Wailuku
the same evening. They will show
there until next Saturday, and
will proceed to Kauai, either re-
turning via Honolulu or being
taken direct. The circus will per-
form at Wainiha and Waimea

His life today seems to be more that OF

years he has been in the thick of political

the next three weeks the most rnomentous

In the minds of many the future prosperity

a man in such situation would have his

During another tour he made $40 speeches,

averaged more than seven speeches a day,
speaking to more than 100000 people with

Ing his campaign. He is not a drinking
man in any sense of the word, though he
is not prohibitionist. He speaks easily
but has no special methods of training, nor
any rules of diet. in order to keep himself
in trim
He once told me that he did not like to
speak, and that he trembed whenever he
had to appear before a new audience He
said that his heart went down into his
boots whenever he rose to speak and that
this was the case notwithstanding the fact
mat he had been making speeches for more
than a score of years.
How Mckinley Talks.
The man who knows Mckinley only upon
the stump, however, mas not the proper
conception of the man. He is far different
in private conversation. His speeches are
serious matters with him. He prepares for
them and never jokes nor tells stori IS dur
ing them 1t Is different when chatting
with his friends. He Is then perfectly at
home and he illustrates many of his points
ny anecdotes. He tells a story well, but
never relates anything that could not be
toiu IN the presence of ladies' Daring my
stay mere such conversation as | have had
with him has been with the understanding
that 1t is not for publication The situa-
ton is such that anything he might say
TO-DAY would probably be misconstrue by
nus opponents, and he has so far refused
all attempts to draw him out. There are
now half dozen newspaper men here rep
resenting journals in all parts Of the coun-
try, from Boston 70 San Francisco The
governor IS polite and friendly with all,
but he will talk politics with none.
McKinlcy's Romantic Home.
But let me tell you how Governor Nc

house with history. Every room in 1t is
associated with the life Of the governor
and his possession of 1t today is to

does not own the house, l think, but rents
1t. When L met him at Columbus during
the last days of his gOvernorShip, he told
me that he had arranged to lease it, and
said that he and Mrs. Mckinley were anx-
lous to get back to it. 1t is the house
in which they first lived after their mar
riage. This occurred when Mckinley was

was born in 1909 six years before Napoleon
fought the battle of Waterloo and when
James Madison was Just at the beginning
OF his career as President Of the United
states. Our great middle states We're then
a wilderness, and the vast domain acquir-
ed through the Louisiana purchase had
been in Uncle Sans hands just about six
years She was a girl of ten when we
bought Florida from Spain, and she was in
her thirties when We acquired Texas and

possible ruler of IT all. Such an eA periencs
would turn the ordinary woman's head.
1t has not in the least affected that OF
Mrs. Mckinley. She has the same sterling
common sense which shows out so forcl-
bly, in her son. She is proud Of him, IL Ia
true, but her feeling is that of womanly,
motherly pride and not a ma wkish nor
sentimental one. She is proud OF him in
that she believes that he is "A good man
and that by this he has gained the re-
spect Of other men. But j am sure she
would rather see him be plain William

should do one thing derogatory to his
