Rev. Charles Kesterson is an old
Kentuckian, who has been on both sides
of the law, according to the Cincinnati
Enquirer. His father was one of the
early pioneers Of Hancock county, Ten
nessee, and his mother was an Indian,
being a member of the tribe of famous
Malungeons. Rev. Mr.. Kesterson is
seven feet eight inches tall, though he
claims when in the prime of manhood
he was over eight feet tall. His weight
is 300 pounds, and he is 70 years old.
When iawlessness vas at Its height,
Rev. Mr.. Kesterson was the terror Of
that country. He never heard the whis-
tie of a locomotive or saw the iron
monsters until a year or so ago, when
he went to Knoxville, Tenn. 1t is
claimed by many of his neighbors that
he has killed at least sever men. The
old preacher denies this; he acknowl-
edges the errors of his youth, but says
that he never killed so many

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 12.-Concerning
reports from Camp Wikoff that the
camp is preparing to break up under
peremptory new orders from General
Miles, Secretary Alger said today:
There is nothing new in that. Camp
Wikoff from the first was mostly in
tended as a detention camp. The pur-
pose from the first has been to get the
soldiers away from there as Dor as
possible. Nc change in purpose is in
dictated by these dispatches from my
own orders given before I left Wash
ington.'
Relative to a statement attributed to
General Miles to "Never mind what

Until about six years ago the military
authorities paid $50 for the apprehen-
sion of a deserter. AS a result of this
system there arose in the immediate vi
entity of large military posts a class of
men known in the army vernacular as
hounds" clothed with the rights of
special officers, who made a business Of
experimenting army deserters for the $50
reward. The reward now paid for the
capture of a deserter is only $40. There
was never & chance for a "hound'' to
make a living at either price.

Santiago, Cuba, Sept. 12.-Five men
Of the Fifth regulars have died since
their arrival here, 40 per cent of the
regiment being on the sick report from
malarial fevers. Hines samong all the
troops is increasing. Colonel Cranes
immunes are in camp on the banks Of
the San Juan river. This has had a
fatal effect.
There are now more than 800 men in
the hospital or on the sick report. The
illness is attributed to the effect of the
rains on a country full Of shallow
graves and to miasmas from the
swampy surroundings. A medical
board was appointed today to report
upnn sanitary conditions Of the camp
and the advisability of it's immediate
removal to San Luis, to form part of
General Ewer's brigade. Colonel
Hoods regiment, which has beein doing
garrison duty in Santiago, will this
week be relieved by the Fifth reg
ulars, the volunteers going to a camp
yet to be selected on the San Luis rail-
road.
All the troops not absolutely needed
in the city will be SEN to more healthy
camps.

The Bands Easter Concert.

Captain Berger's Band had a
magnificent audience at its Easter
Monday concert in Emma Square
last evening. Not only was every
seat occupied but even standing
room was almost at a premium.
The experiment of inducing Messrs
Shaw and Edwards to sing was a
great success as testified by the very
hearty applause and demands for
encores. Miss Annie Kanoho was
also in excellent voice and most
warmly received. Captain Berger
has evidently won popular favor
by this new venture in the concert
line.

Death of a Priest.

Father Aloysius Loitean died on
board the Msuna Loa, this morning
at Maalsea Bay. The deceased was
one of the most eloquent and ardent
servants of the Catholic Church.
During the past three weeks he had
been very i'll and by order OF the BIZ
shop he was being brought to Ho-
nolulu attended by Father Victor
when the sad event occurred.
The deceased priest was a young
man. He arrived here with the
Bishop OF Panopolis in 1895, and
was sent to the District OF South
Kona.
Father Aloysius was only % years
of age. His eloquence and devotion
attracted the attention to him OF
the Catholic community. The
young Frenchman had great future
which death, alas, cut short.
The funeral will take place at
o'clock tomorrow morning from the
home of the mourning colleagues OF
the young priest.
