Typewriter IN Chinese

The Rev. Mr.. ShefI9ld, a Prasby
tecian missionary at Tung Chow, has
invented g Chinese typewriter, waich
is said to be very remarkable ma
cnine. and is exciting great 6eal of
comment over there. He made the
model himself, bat sent the parts to
factory at Hartford, we're made in met
al and put together. It turns out TO
De a great success and will relieve both
tts foreigners and the native Chinese
from the necessity OF using paint
brush and pot Of ink in conducting
their correspondence.
As near as can be understood from
the Gescription published IN the Chi,
nese p2pers, the characters about :, 900
II nun Der, are on the edges OF wheels
about ole foot in diameter. Il re-
cuires 30 o: 30 wheels 10 carry al the
letters, and he operator must strike
two keys to make aa impression. The
first key turns the wheel and the sec
ond stops it at the letter wanted, which
is brought down upon the paper by
an ingenious device. Although the
machine is complicated, II SHOWS re
markable degree of Ingenuity ana
skill and d.. Sheffield hopes to make
many Improvements in the way OF
simplicity.
The difficulty OF his task and the
wonder Of his invention may be re-
Icognized when it is known that there
ar6 $4,000 characters in the Chinese
language, each one Of them represent,
ing a distinct word. There are be.
tween 1000 and 5,O00in common use,
which he has selected aud placed upon
his typewriter. The newspaper voca.
bqlary of China involves fully tnat
number OF characters, but the peasants
do not make use Of more than 5O0
characters.

Prof. Sloan, who is acting president,
in the absence Of Dc. Woodrow, was
on the scene, but notwithstanding et
forts to see him he could not De found.
Dr.. Finn, who was also present, and
familiar with al the circumstances,
made the following statement:
DIR. Woodrow ceing absent, Prof.
Sloan is acting il his stead as presi-
dent. a few days ago permission was
given the military to have their in
spection or the athletic field Of the
college. Acting President Sloan did
not know that such permission had
been given and pending match game
of baseball between the Independents
and the college team, the military in
spection was ordered on the field.
When the troops cane up, Prof.
Sloan had an interview witt General
Watts, informing him of the match
game.
General Watts intimated that the
grounds belonged to the State and the
troops had right to use any portion
Of them they wished.
Prof. Sloan replied: es, they be-
long to the State but are for the uses
of the college," but that the grounds
were ample.
General Watts replied that he did
not wish to interfere but would take
the troops to the eastern portion Of
the grounds.
After this amia5le arrangement
and interview, Prof. Sloan thought
the whole thing settled, but the troops
we're later formed on the South side
of the field, il line with the ball
grounds, about third base.
General Watts and staff took posi-
ton near the third base, and while the
inspection and game were in progress a
ball struck Maj Evans horse. The
students Immediately apoloeiz d, as
suring the officers that it was all acct
dental. While this explanation was
being made, Gen. Watts angrily or,
dered the policeman in front to clear
the way. He then ordered the militia
ry to advance, which they did and the
crowd got back. Then came the roT
With the policeman in the rear, with
which you are familiar.
OTHER FACTS.
These are the facts from either side,
out it must be said that whoever Is at
fault, the affair was a most disgrace
iul one to the State.
Prof. Sloan called at the police sta
ton last night and had short con-
versation with Acting Mayor Ben
aen. BE expressed the deepest regret
at the occurrence.
Mr.. Bremen said that the probabili-
ties were that no trial would take
place Saturday, as It was certain that
policeman Dowie would not oe able to
be present for several days yet.
No arrests had been made Friday
Gight but the Chief Of Police was
working on the case aud arrests will
follow.

FIRED AT BOAT BOYS.

ing Uses Revolver.
Shortly before o'clock Saturday
night a couple of the boat boys ran
up to the police station and reported
that they had been fired at with a
revolver in the hands Of the mate of a
bark at one of the wharves near the
landing. Captain Hookano was sent
down to investigate but could find out
nothing definite. Shots had been fired
but in ways uncertain as to the direc-
ton from whence they came. The
story told by one of the native boat
boys Sunday was about as follows:
AT about $50 o'clock the mate in
question came to the landing in a
somewhat inebriated condition He
made things lively for a little and end
ed up by striking Kaulana, popularity
known as Shark.
ITO appease matters somewhat he
asked four of us to go UP and take a
drink with him at one of the saloons.
We followed and upon arriving in the
appointed place, the mate slid out the
back door. We ran after and followed
him to the vessel. There we lost sight
of him and started over to the landing
to turn in just as we got about half
way, three shots were fired at us from
a revolver and before we got to the
landing two more were fired. AS near
as we could make out they came from
on board the vessel. Nothing was
done as it, would have been impossi-

Our customers tell us that
our novelties are the best
that have ever been sold in
Honolulu. AS a rule kitchen
novelties and labor saving
tools don't amount to much,
ours do.
The quick cut mincing
knife is one that cuts around
the corners; being made half
round, it is the best for chop
ping in a bowl. Fifteen cents
is the price.
Every housekeeper knows
that small bits of soap aC-
cummulate in the kitchen
until they are thrown away.
The kitchen soap shaker,
made of wire, enables you to
economic in respect to soap.
Half the fun of camping is
in being able to flip a flap
jack in the pan, but half the
hunters and half the cooks
don't savoy how. We have
a cake turner that does flip
ping automatically. 1t costs
* cents for a dollars worth
of satisfaction. It's made on
the nO-wear-Out principle.
The Premier egg cup is a
novelty that should be in
use in every home. 1t saves
scorching the fingers in OPP
ening the egg; it saves dis
appointment in the way of
matured eggs being sent to
the table, for by its use the
age of the egg is aSCertained
before it leaves the kitchen;
it guarantees satisfaction in
every way.
