Frances "wbite House."

In France, if the Presidents wife is
economical and simple in her dress. she
and her husband of course are denounc-
ed by all the tradesmen as being un-
patriotic and miserly. If they adopt
any style which suggests England,
America or Germany, they are de-
nounced as foreigners, arrogant up
starts, haters of their own institutions
1T the wife adopts the fashions of the
directoire, the first empire, Louis Qua
torZe or Louis QuinZe, they are inveigh-
ed against as fossils, senile lunatics,
whereas, on the other hand if they
take the very latest ideas, they are
rallied against as end of the century
cranks and desecrators of antiquity.

Cost Of Strikes.

In the railway strike of 1877 the loss
to property and business inflicted by
the mob at Pittsburg alone is estimated
at SoOCG.GOO. and the county of Allie
ghany was compelled to pay So. 7S7 600
of the loss sustained during the Pitts
burg riots. The Chicago strike cost
the railways $5,35S, 600, and the en-
ployeS $1.IOO,0OO. Il total of $7.O5S. 900,
not including the loss to the Pullman
Company. The National Commission
says that ''beyond these amounts very
incidentally suffered throughout the
country" The California fruit growers,
for example, lost $4,000 a day. The
total loss which resulted from that one
strike, in all probability, exceeded $1O,-
OOG,000. The telegraph strike of 1883
cost the companies $909,OOO and the
men S25O,OO0. The railway strike on
the Gould SYSTEM" in 1886, cost the
strikers 100000, those thrown out of
employment by their action $5OO00O,
and the railroads S3,1SO,0OO: For the
strikes that occurred from 1881 to 1856,
Inclusive, the wage loss by employees is
estimated by the United States Com
missioner of Labor at SOL .S14 900. and
the employers losses are estimated by
the same authority at S30.7O1 GOO.
From 1S41 to 1880, inclusive. there
We're 1,4G1 strikes and lockouts: while
for the six years ending December 81,
1886. the number of strikes alone was
3,902-forty a year for the first period,
and over G5O year for the second.

Hl-Health OF Neoroes.

The boon of emancipation from sIa-
very is said to be responsible for the
great increase i'll tubercular diseases
and insanity among the negroes of the
Southern States. While they lived in
slavery the negroes We're compelled to
live sober and regular lives. but With
freedom their natural impulse to eX-
cesses asserted itself and they plunged
without restraint into vicious and riot
out habits. They have consequently
developed a highly nervous consump-

makes them easily susceptible to dis
eases from which formerly they were
free. They are for the most part una

insanity is greatly ON the increase

that the rate Of death from tuberculosis
among Southern negroes is three times
as high as that among the whites.

Judge Gesi of Rock Island had rendered
his decision dissolving the injunction
which restrained the officials of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America from removing
the books and other belongings of the
head office from Fulton, ILL.,, to Rock
Island. A special train was started from
Rock Island over the Burlington road for
Fulton, carrying about 600 men, well
armed. They reached Fulton about 6
O'Clock and marched up to the Woodman
building i'll military style. The Fulton
people had been apprised of the move by
telephone and were ready to defend the
books and papers of the head office. They
were assisted by large force from Clin-
ton and Lyons, their neighboring cities,
just across the Mississippi.
General Fight Ensues.
A general fire alarm was sounded and
hose laid to repel the invaders. When the
train arrived the track was torn up on
both sides to prevent their escape. A
Rock Island man cut the hose. This was
the signal for hostilities. Many shots were
fired and clubs, rocks and missiles of all
kinds used. Quite q number of Rock
islanders are more or less hurt, none very
severely. They secured few books be-
fore they were stopped, but were penned
in their train by armed deputies. Head

EXILE HONECK RETURNS
COMES BACK TO HAWAII AS 4
SEAMAN on MARION.
Was Deported for Alleged Treason
During 1895 Trouble-oaid He Would
Come Back in Two Years.

Frank Honeck, painter, member of
Company \, who was eNiled from
these islands about two years ago
along with Cranston and Muller, has
returned.
Honeck arrived in the city last week
aboard the United States warship
Marion from San Diego. He is still
an unpardoned exile, but it is believed
that Honeck can stand back and defy
the Government officials for he is
sailor aboard Uncle Sans gunboat.
In 1895, while the racket between
the provisional Government and ma
tives was one, Honeck, who was at
that time a member of Company A,
volunteer company in the National
Guard, went out with the command
to engage in active campaign. During
an engagement at Telegraph hill, the
military officers allege that Honeck re-
treated to the bushes and fired upon
members of his own company, He was
arrested and investigation developed
the fact that Honeck was associated
with Muller and Cranston in the
Scheutzen Club. He was ordered to be
banshed from the islands.
His friends and number of fellow
members of Company a saw him off
on the steamer at the dock. Honeck
promised his friends that he would be
back in Honolulu again in two years.
He was about as good as his word, for
the Marion came into port just six
days after the two years time limit
had expired.
Since leaving Honolulu Honeck has
travelled extensively. He has been to
Mexico, South America, Central Amer
lea and Europe. He has been in the
service on the Marion but brief time
Even Honeck's most intimate friends
are not aware that he is in port, He
has not been ashore as yet, owing to q
broken arm, which he received in an
an accident while on the voyage over
from the California coast.

KIDNAPPED IN LONDON.
Title of Book Written by Chinese Rev
olutionist.

Secretary Girvin. of the Chinese Bu-
real, received recently from London a
copy of the book published by San Sun
Yet, the Chinese whose detention az
the Chinese consulate there caused
such widespread comment a few
months ago. San Sun Yet belongs to
the Young Chinese party, which is OBJ
posed to the present ruling dynasty
in China, and "A few years ago made
an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow
the Government. He escaped from the
country and went to London, where
he was kidnapped and held a prisoner
at the Chinese consulate until the pc
lice authorities discovered his where
abouts and released him.
San Sun Yet lived-fin this city for
several years, and received the bulk
of his English education here in Ihe
local schools. He was great pers ma!
friend of Mr.. Girvin, and has renem-
bered him by sending him an auto
graph copy of his book, which is en-
titled kidnapped in London" Tie
The volume is very interesting, con-
tanning a full history of the writer and
his efforts to overthrow the Chinese
dynasty, as well as his historical ad
venture in London.

COMPLETED THE SURVEY
BRUNER LOCATED THE
LAST STAKE YESTERDAY.
The New Road Over the Pail Is Ready
esque Thoroughfare When Built.

w. w. Bruner, the Government road
engineer, completed the task of sur
veying the new road over the noun
tans yesterday afternoon. The last
location stake was driven about noon
and after lunch the engineering party
broke camp and returned to the city.
All is now in readiness for actual
construction work. The task before
Engineer Bruner this time was to put
in the location stakes and he has done
the work in about two weeks. Nearly
eight years ago he made the prelimi-
nary survey of the road. 1t is now in
such condition that the contract for
actual construction can be let at any
time, and the work may be com.
menced within thirty days.
The new road will be the most pic
turesque on the islands. 1t commences
just below the pail, at the terminus
Of the present pail road, on the Kane
ohe side, and extends toward the
coast, a distance of two and one-half
1IlleS, unll 1t IutGRtS lllto titS iciNi
on the other side. The descent Is about
500 feet, but the survey has been made
so that no grade shall be greater than
per cent. The road is to have n unis
form width of twenty feet, but will be
forty feet at the sharp curves, of which
there are many. In many places 1t
must be cut out of the mountain side,
while in others runs along ridges"
which must be leveled off to quite a
depth in order to secure the necessary
width. From the crowns of these
! ridges the view will be especially fine,
for the mountains are steep and rug
ged. The road at these points will be
protected by stout iron railing, for
should a horse or buggy get off the
narrow road, nothing could prevent it's
! decent into the valley below.
Engineer Bruner thinks that it will
require the great bulk of the $4,000
appropriation to build the road He
says he would be willing to take the
contract at that price, but thinks road
builders might be found who would
do the job for less. Mr.. Bruner thinks
that the road will be great improve
ment to the islands.

LIBEL CASE DISMISSED.
COMES LOSES HIS FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLAR JUDGMENT.
Was Not Present When Case Was
Called-Sheriff Andrews TIiks on
the japanese Riot Question

Capt. L. A. Andrews, sheriff OF Ha-
waii, arrived in town on the Einau this
morning and is staying at the AIRING
ton. He came down to be a witness in
the case of Comes VS.. the Gazette Pub
fishing Co., which was to come up in
the Circuit Court for a second trial
today. When the case was called this
morning neither the plaintiff, nor mis-
attorney were in court, and on notion
of the defendants counsel, the sui;
was dismissed.
The action was one brought by
Comes over three years ago for dam-
ages for libel. He had bee arrested
by Sheriff Andrews for smuggling,
but no evidence was adduceh against
him. The Advertiser published his
arrest, under an alleged libelous head
ing. Comes sued for damage nnG Sc
cured judgment for 300. The de-
fendant secured a new trial, whici, was
to have commenced this morning By
his failure to appear, Comes now 'ses
his judgment and the Leasy costs in
the case.
Capt. Andrews says there is still
danger of Japanese outbreak on
Maui. Just now," he said," the Japs
are quiet, awaiting the outcome Of the
preliminary hearing of their five com
rades under arrest for murder. They
have threatened to use mob violence
if these men are committed. Person
ally, 1 am inclined to the belief that
they will not. In all cases of mob
violence, if their action is delayed for
a short time, and their blood given
time to cool, they come to their sober
senses and refrain from hasty action.
1t may not be so with the Japs, how
ever. If they are set upon defying
the law, they may resort to the tactics
which they have promised in case
their comrades are committed for
trial.
"But can promise them a warm re-
ception if they tackle the Wailuku
boys. There are fellows who would
rather fight than eat, and they are
strong enough to take care of the Japs
without assistance. OF course, a col
lision between the officer and the
Japs would be deplorable, and no
doubt large amount of property
would be destroyed, but there could
be no doubt as to the outcome. The
Wailuku boys would conquer

The maid of honor proceeds to the
head of the bridesmaids. The bride,
attended by her father, will walk up
between the two columns to the foot
of the chancel steps, where the groom
will join her. DR.. McGrew will then
stand alongside of the maid of honor.
After the bridal party has taken its
position, the organ will play soft
strains while Rev. Mr.. Macintosh will
deliver brief and impressive address,
filed with feeling and loving admon5
tion for the two young people about
to enter the sacred estate of marriage.
At the same time violin serenade

distance by Benjamin Lodge Marx.
! When Rev. Mr.. Macintosh has fin
ished at the knave, the bridal party
will walk to the altar to conclude the
service.
The choir will then burst forth sing
ing the Psalm: blessed are all they

thou shall eat the labors of thine
hands; o well is thee and happy shalt
thou be-"
While at the altar Mr.. Taylor will
