Louis whiting of the Central Expires
Suddenly

The Telephone Company has lost
capable, honest and clever en-
ployee in the death OF Louis Whit
ing, which took place early yester-
day morning
Although in delicate health the
deceased was always ready for work,
and was recognized as QUO OF the
most popular and efficient opera
tors. About 3 o'clock yesterday
morning he felt i'll and sent for DR..
Herbert, who had attended him on
former occasions, and always been
able to give him relief.
Shortly after the doctor left him
Louis succumbed to a sudden at
tack and expired.
Louis, who was an universal fav-
orite for his personal character, was
Californian bred and born boy,
aud inherited the courtesy Of his
father, who was tho favored steward
at California's most popular Assem-.
blage at Sacramento in connection
with the Agricultural Society
Louis father was a man, and his son
was a worthy descendant Of his
father.
The deceased was unmarried, and
will be buried this afternoon from
the drill she'd under the auspices
of Company D, Of which he was an
esteemed member.

JANE Is GONE.
A Society Woman Deserts Her
Home.

Even the casual acquaintances of
our est teemed townsman, Mr.. w. w.
Dimoud, have been unable to shut
their eyes 10 the recent peculiar ac-
tions of his wife.
The climax was finally reached
when her connections with one G.
ID. Wilson, formerly drummer in
the band and latterly clerk in the
employ OF the Hebron Drug Com
psny, became a public scandal.
The recent amateur performances
st which the guilty parties took a
prominent part, led to developments
which no husband or man could
pass by in silence. Wilson, who was
recent arrival here, was married to
a most estimable lady. His conduct
drove her to distraction. She ap-
pealed to Mrs. Dimond, hut her plea
was of no avail. Then she left for
her bone in the States, and Wilson
plunged into further excuses with
his paramour.
When sufficient evidence of the
conduct of his wife was presented
TO Mr.. Dimond he still hesitated in
taking steps which ultimately would
break up a pleasant home, place
himself aud his young lovely daugh.
ter in difficult position, and cause
much food for scandal and gossip
among the 400" who chummed and
played at theatre with the lady.
Self-respect compelled Mr.. Di-
mond to take the extreme step. Mrs
Dimond was found at disreputable
house kept by colored woman near
Kakasko together with her lover.
Divorce proceedings were ipsti-
tuted at once, and the papers were
served ON New Years Eve, it being
learned that the lady intended to
leave by the Coptlc yesterday, which
was public holiday.
At the dock, Customs officials APP
peared to stop Wilson from leaving
on behalf OF his creditors. Mrs.
Dimond paid, in the presence of a
number Of people, the bills OF her
lover, and guaranteed the payment
of others. Then they departed, he

there is a broken. hearted woman, to
whom he owes allegiance. She with

and loving child-for whati

The following from Shakespeare
fits the case of the Dole's Govern

"a sceptre snatched with an unruly

Must be as boisterously maintained
as gained;
Must he that stands upon slippery

Make nice OF no vile hold to stay
him up"
"Those men blush not in actions
blacker than the night,
Will shun no course to keep them

Poison aud treason are the hands
Of sin,
Ay, and the targets, to put off the

Whatever G. G. Moreno, formerly
of Hawaii and now OF Washington,
d, c., writes in regard to Queen
Liliuokalani's journey is false. 1t
must be understood that he "Don"
talks through his headgear and is
distinctly not in the confidence OF
Her Majesty or her friends. Mr..
Moreno is woll-known here as a
windbag aud his attempts TO make
himself Of importance whenever
Hawaiian matters are attracting
public attention in the States, are
generally followed by demand for
cash. Knowing this, the cash has
not been forthcoming and if The
''Don" should try to importuue
Queen Liliuokalani or throw his oh.
noxious self in her way during her
visit to the States, he will fnd the

cost the country many dollars; Glib
son and all succeeding ministers up

tries of Europe know him we'll, and
he and his clique are detested by
Hawaiians and their friends as
blackguard blackmailers.

during the past year is the work OF
spectators to whom we give all
possible credit and our best wishes
for success. We hope to see the new
plantation on Oahu started. We

he can find capitalists who will take
his six percent bonds in lieu Of the

But it should not be forgotten
that in 1897 the contract between
our planters and the sugar trust
will expire and that the possibilities
are that no arrangements OF similar
advantages to the planters can be
secured. Without the friendship of
the trust, without a reciprocity
treaty and without any hope for an
nexation, where will Hawaii be ?
And yet these are issues
which will have to be faced
and which have been caused by the
oligarchy which rules contrary to
the will of the people, depending
only on the guns on which its sup
porters have monopoly.

Sorry He WINS Dend.

This is true story, says the New York
Times. A member of congress entered the
room of member of the cabinet few
days ago and said good morning" The
secretary answered, reservedly, good
morning" A moment later the secretary
said: Il am sorry to hear that Oldheld is
dead" So was the visitor, as he was in
terested in Oldfeld; in fact he
was Oldfield. "A strange hail
ness of speech kept the sec
rotary from carrying on the conversa-
ton that was begun. Then his visitor re-
minded him that it was not Oldfeld that
was dead but Brown. The secretary ap-
peared to be struggling with his memory.
The visitor, who was at disadvantage,
supposing the secretary really knew him,
and feeling confident that he did not APP
pear to be dead, withdrew Just as he
was about leaving the secretary returned
to the subject in his mind at the Begin
ming of the conversation Good bye; it's
too bad that Oldfield is dead" And Old
field has been walking about, quite cheer
full, and with good appetite, wondering
how he is ever to reconcile the mind of
that cabinet officer to his resurrection.
He wants a place for a constituent, but
he is not at all confident that he can con-
vince the secretary that he ought to give
a place of trust and responsibility on the
recommendation of a man whom the sec
rotary has pronounced to be dead and
insisted upon it in the presence of the
man himself.

rhe war nnd the Mnrket..

The squirt in the breadstuff and grain
markets during the past several days was
induced by the war news from the far
east 1t does not seem that the war
has at yet assumed large enough, pro-
portions to warrant any considerable rise
that is likely to be continued for a length
of time. The probabilities are that un-
less grave danger of the drawing in of
some of the great powers develops. the
advance in grain will be lost. The times
are propitious for speculative movements,
and the spectators are taking advantage
of their opportunities.
That there yet remains confidence in
the situation is evidenced by the feeling
in London. The stock exchange in that
city closed as usual on East
er Saturday, which it would
not have done if there had been
great danger of an extension of the war.
And since that time there have been no
sensational features in the market. The
rates of exchange have hardened, as the
demand for money has increased. But
as yet there has been no development very
unfavorable in character.
The advance in the rates of exchange
in London is the item which is of particu-
lar interest, since 1t causes the question
to be asked, will the effect be a with
drawal of gold from this country? Money
goes where the highest price is paid for
it. England has been furnishing gold to
Japan and to continental Europe during
the past few weeks. Barrels of gold win
be poured into the greedy nav of War,
even if only Greece and Turkey should
be involved in the fighting. Will
the United States treasury be called upon
for part of the gold demanded by Eu-
rope?
Careful fnanciers do not look for any
considerable movement of the yellow
metal from this country to Europe, un-
less the situation becomes considerably
changed from what it is now. There is
usually movement of gold from the
United States about this time of the
year, when exports of breadstuffs, grain
and provisions are lightest, and thousands
of American tourists are sailing for the
other side and taking with them letters
of credit for millions of dollars. 1t would.
therefore. be nothing unusual if gold were
exported within few weeks. The sums
spent in Europe by American tourists
have become quite an important consider
alton in the settling of the international
balance of trade 1t is believed that if
the tourists would spend their vacation
and their gold at home this season, there
would not be the least likelihood of
movement of gold to Europe this spring
or summer.

This Tramp Was Liberal.

An Erie railway detective gave informal
ton to the police last night of a remark
able character who is evidently beating
his way toward this city, says the Cleve-
land Leader. A conductor of a freight
train told this detective that his train
was standing on a side track forty miles
from Cleveland when the head brakeman
who was walking upon the roof of car
discovered a man on the bumpers He
was fairly well dressed and carried a
sachel.
Where are you going?" was the ques-
ton
Cleveland" replied the stranger.
Not on this train retorted the brake
man. 'Rattlers' don't carry passengers
Then the stranger. seeing that he was
about to be 'ditched'-as the Language of
the hobo expresses it-opened the sachel,
while the brakeman gazed in silent aston
.shment. According to the latter there
were watches, diamonds, and jeweiry of
the richest type lying in the half-flled
valise.
'Rattlers don't carry passengers, don't
they" remarked the tramp, at the same
time handing the brakeman a beautiful
timepiece.
Just punch my ticket will your" re-
quested the man with the sachel, land if
you happen to have a chew of tobacco
about your clothes hand il down and ac-
cept my compliments"
Then the stranger passed up a brilliant
diamond stud in return for the tobacco
which the brakeman mutely handed
down" Going to his conductor, the
brakeman told the story, and the two
trainmen arrived a the conclusion that a
jewelry store had been robbed somewhere
along the line. In the mean time the
train pulled out, but slowed down at Man
tua station, where the man who could
afford to exchange a diamond stud for a
chew of tobacco jumped from the bump
ers and disappeared into an adjacent wood
The trainmen could not desert the train
to give pursuit, but the authorities will be
on the lokout for the stranger and his
sachel.
