County Commissioners Notes.

Sheriff Hodge convinced the
commissioners that his bill for
feeding prisoners, S65.90, was
correct and it was allowed. UH-
der the new law he gets 40c a
day for the first ten and SOC a
day each for all over that.
No justices reports from Black

On motion of Mr.. Allen, salary

tinued and that title with power
to administer "cure all" pills
conferred on jailcr @. w. Smith.
County commissioners suggest
to justices that persons held for
fines be given not less than thir-
ty days.

tai amount of tax levy for 1897.

Mr.. Burfords' resignation as
county attorney was laid over for
next meeting.
DIV. Davis. for client, got re-
bate on old Pooser grove on as
sessed value for 1896 for $1,000.
2S9 persons paid poll tax for
June.
Sheriff Hodge refused to take
care of court house for less than
$40 a month. Amount was
granted.
A long debate took place over
reduction of clerks salary from
$40 to $25 a month. Most of the
commissioners believed it was
worth $40 a month to do the
work but having promised reform
and retrenchment made Sim Sis
trunk the victim of their zeal.
Mcleod said the clerk, being the
best paid county officer, could af-
ford to "whack up" with the tax
payer. Williamson said there
was demand for reduction all
along the line. Carney said that
Sistrunk's time was worth no
more than his, etc, Allen and
Chitty said they believed the
clerk earned all he got and saved
more than his salary every
month to the county. ALI adj
mitted this, but then ,retrench-
ment was in the air. Sistrunk
was perfectly willing to give up
the office anG salary, but TO this
it was not agreed. Allen said he
would not draw the warrants for
$40 a month, the amount some
party said he would perform the
work of the office for a month. |
Last. month Mr.. Sistrunk drew
nearly 400 warrants, for each of
which two other papers must be
made out. Then the clerk spent
Sc last month for postage and
never charges the county a cent
for stationery. Mcleod moved
the salary be $50, Williamson
said S25 and so it went. There
was long discussion on roads,
which will again be taken up
next month.
In the case of the salary of the
registration officer, that will he
investigated to see how long he
has a contract with the county.
The disposition is to pay for
actual work done and not S?0.S0
a month.

have the faculty. and if the privilege is
yours, to give it definite impetus. You
may at some future time find your
name enrolled as a soul artist. An
enviable rank surely.
The efforts of the Kilohafa Art
League to enlist the interest of chill
dren and schools have certainly been
praise worthy. l would that the COM
munity thoroughly appreciated them.
The hangings in the league rooms are
not numerous, but there is nevertheless
food for thought and inspiration to eff
fort to be found there. 1t is natural for
children to try to initiate. If a few
visits to the league rooms this season
should result in some back yards in
Honolulu being converted, into work
shops, with only blocks of wood for
material, and a jack knife as an imple-
ment, Miss Wores' deft fingers will
not have wrought in vain. And l be-
lieve Mrs. Graham would only be too
delighted to see even the crudest effort
toward imitation of her handiwork, if
nothing more than board fence and
some road clay were utilized. l doubt
whether child of naturally fine sensi-
bilities could look long at Mrs. Kelley s
work and not receive some impress
from it, elevating in its tendencies.
Character, grace of mind and delicacy
of PERCEPTION stamp her work and must
be reflected from it. Mr.. Hitchcock is
becoming more versatile, and as this
increases, so will be enlarged the scope
of his influence. AS to his canvases
now on exhibition, l believe young as
well as adult minds would confer the
palm upon his ''Eventide- Fishermen. -
Skill in manipulation of color and
brush is certainly evident in his
symphony in Green and Grey" but in
his "Eventide' there is the same GER
tain, yet more tender harmony in
green and grey, and with it, harmony
in thought and sound. The poetic
fancy is not held alone to the abstract
or merely to that which is evanescing
but truth and nature is idealized. We
catch the sound of the gentle tapping
of the wave upon the beach; we de-
light in the anticipation of the we'll
earned rest of the fishermen and by all
combined, a beneficial influence is left
upon the whole being. More anon. a.

HE SOUGHT DEATH
Chas. Thierbach Ends His
Own Life Here.
Took a Quick Poison-Had Made
Preparation-From the Coast.
Inquest to Be Held.

Poor Charlie Thierbach, light heart
ed, well liked and with good prospects,
is to fill the grave of suicide. He
took his life in this city yesterday
forenoon. Thierbach came here from
San Francisco with veriscope show.
After it left he was given position
with Davey, the photographer.
1t was but a little past noon when
news that Thierbach had taken his life,
was passed around the city. Although
he had been here but a short time, the
young man was very well known. Cen
eral regret was expressed that he had
done himself such irreparable violence.
Many theories as to cause were offered.
While Thierbach has been i'll for a
couple of months he has been able to
be out considerably lately. He was
down town Wednesday and there was
nothing unusual in his conduct. At
o'clock yesterday mornink, Thierbach
called to his landlady that he had slept
none during the night before, he was
going to bed and would like to be call
ed at 10. Just before retiring he chang
ed this, and left word to be allowed to
sleep until he awakened on his own ac-
cunt. Mr.. Ryan, of the Anchor saloon,
rooms in the same house, which is on
Fort street, near the Chinese church.
Calling at the place on some minor
business, at noon, Mr.. Ryan found This
note for himself, on small card and
unsigned: Notify c. Thierbach, S06
and 30S Battery street" The hand
writing was that of the young man and
Mr.. Ryan at once came to the concln
sion that something was amiss. An
entrance to Thierbach's room was eff
fected, without much trouble, and he
was found to be quite dead He had
poisoned water with cyanide of potas-
SUM and had swallowed a dose that
did the work quickly. He had been
dead for some time His letters and
pictures were tied in package, with
line on the outside, requesting that
they be sent to c. Thierbach at SS5
Scott street. All the addresses given
are in San Francisco.
Deceased had no doubt contemplated
suicide for some time. The drug re-
sorted to was at one time used Very
generally by photographers, but with
the entrance of new processes INTO the
business, had gone out of stock. Thier-
bach had been in the trade from his
early youth. He had reached the age
2S His illness here has consisted of
serious and very painful ear trouble.
Mr.. Davey spoke very highly OF Thier-
bach as an employee.
Mr. Ryan says of the affair: & call
ed at Thierbach's room at 1915 and
could not arouse him. Then l learned
from the landlady what he had said

Mr.. Hubert Stone Establishes Him
self In Olaa.
Hubert B. Stone is one of the very
new coffee men in town again after a
business trip to Hawaii. He is very
enthusiastic over the industry and es-
pecially pleased with the deal he has
just closed. Mr.. Stone has secured
forty acres at eleven miles near the
volcano road from the P. C. Jones
company. The new man has been for
tunate enough to succeed to the origin
al Kinney farm in the large tract and
has 20 acres of coffee from which the
berry will be harvested this year. He
is able to see an immediate profit on
his investment.
Mr.. Stone leaves the vocation of a
traveller for the Bancroft publishing
house, to become a settler in Hawaii.
He is young man accustomed to ac-
tive life and says all his energy will
be devoted to his new property. Mr.
Stone finds that civilization is rapidly
establishing itself on the volcano road
and that there is no fear of suffering
from lonesomeness.

Baltimore Yesterday.
Floor in Excellent Condition-Many
Prominent People We're
There

There was very general response
to the several hundred invitations is
sued by Admiral Miller, and the Off
GERS of the U. S. S. Baltimore. to the
informal dance given aboard the Flag
ship yesterday afternoon
From 8 until O'Clock. for which
hours the invitations were issued. the
decks were crowded with dancers. The
majority of the guests arrived before
o'clock, although several boat loads
were carried out in the Baltimore's
launches after that hour. Admiral
Miller and the officers received on the
main deck.
The officers of the ships of war are
noted for their hospitality Yester-
days function was no exception to
their very successful entertainments.
The greater part of the Baltimore's
officers were already well known from
their long stay in port while attached
to the Philadelphia. Many social af-
fairs of various sorts were given by
them at that time. Since their trans
fer to the Baltimore yesterday was the
first time that large function has
been given since the ship arrived in
port.
Invitations were issued to the mem
bers of the local Government, to the
representatives of foreign Governments
and to large number of society peo-
pie.
The main deck of the Baltimore was
transformed into temporary ball
room. The floor, always we'll polished,
and waxed for yesterdays dancing,
was in excellent condition 1t was
we'll patronized the entire afternoon.
Seats were arranged about the sides
of the vessel and on the upper deck.
The ships band furnished the music
A warship presents an almost ideal
opportunity for display of decora-
tive skill Flags of all nations and
pennants were very tastefully arrang-
ed about the Baltimore yesterday as
decorations They were draped about
the masts and were hung as canopies
above to shield the deck from the sun.
They were hung at the sides of the
ship also and two large flags served
as draperies to separate the main deck
from the forward. Lunch was served
in the officers mess room. There were
refreshments also in the Admiral's cab
in. Part of the Baltimore's beautiful
silver service was in use. The cool air
aboard ship made it delightful after
noon for dancing, in contrast to the
heat on shore.

the note he left for me and Immediately
broke into his room, through window
l found him stretched on his bed and
there was foam on his lips when
raised his head. Dr. Miner zane at
once, at my request, and said right
away that there was no more life in the
man.
Thierbach's father and mother died
when he was very young. They were
all California people His sister was
married to Chas. Thierbach, the whole
sale coffee and spice merchant, and this
couple adopted the boy as their son.
He was to succeed to the business
upon his marriage. Deceased was en-
gagged to an accomplished young lady
of good family. A short time ago
Charlie received a letter to the effect
that his sweetheart was seriously ill.,
This preyed upon his mind and prob
ably had more to do with causing his
suicide than anything else"
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock
this morning, and the inquest this af-
ternoon. Deputy Marshal Hitchcock
has summoned these citizens for
jurors: E. o. White. Mr.. Douglas,
Edwin Paris, Ed. McInerny, Geo.
Kleugel, Chas. Weight.

No More Polo.

R. Won Tempsky, who is in the capt.
tai from his Maui estate for few days,
says that there will be no more polo in
his vicinity if he is to be depended
upon to assist in furnishing it. He is
extremely fond of the sport, but play
ers who understand the game are
scarce and the cost in horse flesh is
more than man of moderate means
can bear. The remark has often been
made that it was surprising that the
large number of rough riders in Homo
lulu and on Oahu failed to start polo
club.

Feeds on Crocodile Eggs.

The monitor" lizard owes its name
to its habit of whistling to warn of the
approach of crocodiles. 1t is said that
it is very hard to kill, naturalist hav-
ing tried in almost every way to de-
prive one of life without mutilating it.
The Nile monitor (varanus niloticus),
of which live specimen has just been
brought to the London ZOO from South
Africa, is supposed to be the largest
member of the family, having been
known to attain the length of six feet.
1t more nearly resembles crocodile
tits enemy than other lizards. 1t feeds
upon crocodile eggs or young croco-
dies. 1t is common on the Nile, near
Sierra Leone, Senegal, and in the riv-
ers of South Africa.
