Broke the SMELL.

Up to the time of Cleveland g election
it was popular superstition with poll
ticians that no candidate whose name
began with the letter G could be elected
to the presidency. The idea arose from
the fact that no man whose surname
presented this popularity, no matter
how strong he was with the people, had
ever been successful at the polls. There
were two Clintons, George and Dewitt,
William H Crawford, Henry Clay,
Lewis Cass and a number of others,
who, though their prospects seemed
bright indeed, met with a defeat when
it came to the test. Several of the C's,
George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in
stance, were strong candidates several
times, but never could make the
rifle. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

No Respscter OF Persons.

When Admiral dc Horsey at Port Royal
was one night returning to his flagship
alcne, his way to the boat led across the
barrack square. A black sentry of one Of
the West India regiments halted him at
the gate with, ''Who goes dars" Great
was the admiral's annoyance to find he
had neglected to get the password. "That's
all right" he said carelessly, hoping to
overcome the mans scruples by indiffer-
ence. You know who 1 am" Dunno
know nobody, sar," replied the Niger
pompously. "You osn't go in dar. " "Why,
I'm Admiral de Horseyl'' "Well, you
can't go in," was the reply. II don't care

HIS RULING PASSION.

St. Peter stood at the pearly gate
And gazed down the narrow way
Up which toiled the souls of those whom fate
Had numbered to die that day.
And marveled he much that among tho
throng
Was one who was blithe and gay
And merrily trundled wheel along
Up the straight and narrow way.
Nor did he appear to burdened be
O'ermuch with his load of sin,
For, doffing his cap TO st. Peter, he
Proceeded to enter in.
But Peter cried ''Not so fast, my friendl
Your sins have been too great.
I'm sorry TO say your journey end
Is not st the pearly gate
The merry wheelman knew not dismay,
But answered: Good saint, tits well.
I'd be much obliged if you'd kindly say
How the roads are that lead to hell"
"Now, stay" cried ST. Peter, "and tell me,
l pray,
How is II you seem not to care
Whittier you go or where you stay
And naught for your souls welfaref"
"Oh, as for me, it matters not,
The wheelman quick replied,
'If the place be cold or il DO hot,
So long as l can ridel'

A French scientist has lately writtan
an interesting paper on altruiam In ami.

sion that animals are perhaps bsttex
Christians than men. He says, "Ani-
NAL societies are less polished, but per-
haps more humane, all things being
equal, than our own, and give - .ysri
instances Of animal species made use of
By another and performing services for
the latter without receiving anything
in exchange.
Among others is mentioned the case
of the crocodile and the bird trochilus
on the banks of the Nile. This bird per-
forms two services for the crocodile 10
enters into its mouth and dispatches
there the worms and leeches which
trouble the crocodile. 1t flies rapidly
away, giving vent to a peculiar cry,
when the ichneumon, the enemy of the
crocodile, approaches, thus apprising its
companion of tho ichneumon's presence.
In return the crocodile shakes its tail
whenever it wishes to close its mouth,
thus giving the bird warning. The croc-
odile in no wise recompenses, but con-
tents itself simply with respecting the
person of the little animal. The service
rendered is unilateral But 10 is easy to
understand that by the exercise Of ex-
tremely little intelligence, il mot un-
consciously. the crocodile may be led to
defend its trochilus.
Sometimes one animal will borrow
the services of another temporarily, as
in the case of the serpent who is ferrisd

The chancellor of the exchequer went
out Of his way recently, says LAbou-
chere, in London Truth, to explain how

crown lands, he said, belong to the SOW

mum. The queen receives instead Of
this revenue 81, 925, 900 and the rest Of
the royal family 81 ,060, 600. Therefore
the total cost of monarchy to the tax
payer is $925, 600. The entire calcula.
tion proceeds on the erroneous assump-
ton that the crown lands are the pri-
vate property of the sovereign. This

France the president receives $500. 600

the state, while with England the mon

CHINAMAN KILLED AND HIS WIFE
LEFT FOR DEAD.
Three Hawaiians Arrested for the
Crime-Death of a Lahaina Girl
Caused by Railway Accident.


- II h''
News has just reached here of a
murder on Molokai. The story is as
follows: \ Chinaman named Leong
Chin, who kept a store at Kamalo, re-
tired to rest on Sunday night with
his wife, who is also Chinese. About
II o'clock that night the store was
broken into by three men, who killed
the Chinaman and wounded the wo-
man so badly that they left her for
dead. They then proceeded to carry
away lot of the goods. The woman
has been able to tell the story, and
three natives have been arrested. The
preliminary hearing is going on today
on Molokai.
One of the girls who was hurt on the
cars last Wednesday died the follow
ing Friday. Accidental death was the
verdict of the coroner's jury. The
other girl is recovering.
One of the members of the Citizens
Guard of Lahaina has finished his Of
fetal score of ten rounds for the Mar
shal's bars. He averaged 42.9.
The news received by Marshal
Brown regarding the Molokai murder
was very meager. The Marshal states
that letter was mailed at Lahaina in
time to catch the Kinau which arrived
today Only the barest information is
given. All | know is that a Chinaman
has been killed on Molokai," said Mar
shal Brown this morning.

DESPERATE FIGHT REPORTED TO
HAVE TAKEN PLACE.
Death of the Chinese Wounded in Last
Fridays Battle Said to Have Been
the Cause-Meager Details.

Word was received by the steamer
James Makee this morning of another
riot at Lihue plantation on Kauai. 1t
was caused, it is said, by the death of
the Chinese who was wounded in the
riot of last Friday. All of the police
were summoned from Kapaa and Ko-
loa, and from other accessible points,
and it was reported that there had
been considerable blood shed.
When the Malee left Kapaa no par
ticulars of the riot We're obtanable.
Mrs. Maiee told P.urser Christian that
there had been "A serious riot, and that
all of the police in Kapaa had been
summoned in post haste, but she
knew nothing more. The telephone
was tried, but the people at the Lihue
end of the wire were evidently too
busy to talk. 1t was generally known
in Kapaa that the wounded Chinese
had died on Monday night, and the
report was that his death had made his
fellows desperate.
4. G. NJ. Robertson has been detailed
by Hackfeld & Co. to visit Lihue and
look into the trouble with the Chinese
there. From all reports the Chinese
on the plantation seem to be an un-
usually hard lot. They were en-
ployed, under contract, as coolie lab
orers, but it appears that they are
really Hongkong toughs, shipped out
of the country by the authorities be-
cause they were dangerous. They fight
with knives and hatchets, seem to care
not fig for their own lives and much
less for the lives of others.
From the meager report brought
down by the Alakee it would appear
that there has been desperate battle
between the whites and Chinese at Iii
hue. The Chinese were given IA severe
beating by the Iunas and sheriff's
posse last Friday and it is not prob
able that they would renew the battle
unless they were determined to over.
power the whites.
The Ke Au Hou was to arrive in
Waimea today and is expected here ir
the morning. She ought to bring full
particulars of the trouble, and her ar.
rival will be anxiously awaited.

MURDER ON M0[MA NEW EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
SECRETARY COLEMAN PROPOSES
4 CHANGE or METHOD.
\ Wrinkle to BE Taken from the Den
yer Methods of Helping the Young
Men to Get Work-Good Idea

An employment bureau, under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian
Association promises to be one of the
things in The near future in connec-
ton with that organization. Secretary
Coleman is desirous of having such a
bureau established and conducted as
one of the most important depart
ments of the association with some
good live man at its head, who can
devote n portion of his time to this
work.
At the present time there is in eN-
istence an employment committee of
the association. Applicants for posi-
tions are directed to one of the gentle
men on the committee. When the
young man who is hunting for work
has found a member of the commit
tee, usually the chairman, he presents
his references, which are read and re-
turned, his name and address jotted
down in a book, and he is informed
that he will be sent for in case a po-
sition is found.
Many young men who have come to
these shores in quest of work have
been secured good positions by this
committee. The time that is devoted
to this work by the members of the
committee, and especially by the chair
man, amounts to a considerable tax
upon busy men. They are not men
of leisure but men of large business
affairs and their time is valuable. 1t
has suggested itself lately to the new
secretary that if an employment de-
partment could be located in the asso-
citation building it would relieve these
men of much imposition on their time.
The committee would be asked to
still continue its duties and have gen
eral supervision of the department.
The aim would be to make the de-
partment the employment agency for
not only Honolulu, but for the entire
group of islands. Whenever a bust
ness man, merchant, mercantile or
banking firm, plantation, stockranch
or steamship company is in need of Il
young man for any kind of labor they
! should be induced to notify the Y. NJ.
c. \. employment bureau of such. In
this way the worthy young man is
| given employment and the employer
has been supplied with just the kind
of man he wants. Everybody would
be benefited by such "A bureau
The employment departments in the
! Christian associations in the larger
cities of the United States are operat-
ed in this way. In Denver, Col, last
year, out of 2,945 applicants for work
over 600 were supplied. This did not
include the many young men who gave
up jobs to accept more lucrative and
promising positions which came into
the associations employment depart
ment to be supplied. Maj. Z. w. Hal
