HOW IT ALL HAPPENED.
Terrible Things That Happened to
Several Persons because
Horse Liked Grass.

IL would not have happened if it had
not rained the night before or IL the
butchers boy had hitshed the horse
whom he left the delivery wagon
standing on Madison avenue while he
went In the apartmsnt-house at the
corner. The horse wanted some of tho
grass that grew inside the curb, and
after he had taken q nouthful or two,
horsslike, he decided that the grass
behind him was better. So he backed
up uatl the wagon covered al the
clean crossing aud then stood still.
Ose at q tlnc five men came along
from the opposite side Of the street.
Two OF them waded through tho rud-
dIes behind tho wagon nd three made
q dstour by going around BY the other
side OF tho street. Then a man and n
woman oame along. Both wore nicely
dressed, and tbs woman wore a nice
skirt. They were hurrying TO the de
pot nnd had not time to 20 around by
way OF tho othor crossing, 30 tho man
wodet to where he could lead the
horse out Of the way. As soon as the
crossing was clear the wo1nan started
over and tho man let 60 Of the bride.
Then the horse promptly backed again
and ran the muddy wheel against the
wfhte skirt, leaving about two feet OF
mud on IL and causing the woman to
squeal and Jump into the biggest pud-
die.
This made tho man furious and he
savagely whacked tie horse with his
umbrella and broke the handle Of it.
Tho butchers boy came out at this
mome1rt and cursed the man for beat
Ing the horse. Then the man let loose
littlo profanity on his own account
and tried to hit the boy with the UNI
breHa and the boy struck him with the
basket he was carrying and jumped
into tho wagon and started the horse
on run. They headed toward a BIZ
cycle rider who was on narrow strip
Of road between two pools Of water,
and he promptly fell into one Of the
pools and the wagon ran over his
wheel, while the Jolt threw basket
of meatinto tha other pool. Then a
woman who was watching from an up
per window leaned too far out end
knocked over vase, which didn't stop
falling until It struck the sidewalk.
The man and the woman then turned
back toward home. Her skirt and
shoes were covered with mud and she
was telling him it was all his fault and
expressing n very poor opinion Of
man who would use such awful lam
gunge in the presence of his wife -

the sixteenth and sevcnteenth cen

The English Germans and Scandina

The emigrating impulse is by no

bands which left these countries in

SPEECH OF THE HAwAi1AHa
Few and There % . 0FSoH
Literature Of PsetPy.

AloHg with territory and few sthsr
things at what has been called the
crossroads Of the Pacific, the Usited
States has annexed q new language
and a somewhat considerable liters-
ture> owned by the $4,000 left as tAs
remnant Of their race. The Hawaiisa
is not difficult or grabbed speech. 1t
Is soft and musical. most OF the white
people now In Hawaii speak It. more
or less fully, and 1t offers no great dif-
ficulty to the others who may bs sx-
pected to till up the new domain.
Its most prominent characteristic Il
the great use Of vowels. Besides the
five vowels it needs only seven couso-
nants to make up the alphabet. and
the one hard and fast rule of the gram
mar Is that two consonants shall never
come together and that no word or
syllable shall end with other than a
vowel. On the other hand. vowels may
string along in indefinite succession.
The speech abounds with whole words
which have not q single consonant to
hold them together. Two vowels
stand side by side in majority Of
words. The opportunity to triplicate
the vowel has not been neglected.: a
word has been formed Of every such
combination. Thus "aaa" means
friendly, "eee" is the verb to rise up,
"iii" Is little. 1000" means to shrink.
and "uuu" means to stanmer
Four vowels together form many
words, as "aaua," n crone or hag with
wrinkles under the eyes. Some few
words sonsist Of as many as five VOW
els one after the other. "iiaao." which
is the name for poi when It is hard and
musty. or "oiaio." the word meaning
true.
The language is highly developed in
grammar and rhetoric, developed by
the savage Hawaiians up to the limit
Of their needs and containing the ele-
nents Of still further development
The proof OF that may be found IN tho
books which have been translated into
Hawaiian. The Holy Scriptures In
Hawaiian show this. Despite the fact
that the history and the doctrine
therein contained were absolutely be-
yond the line Of island experience. It
has been found possible to express
them perfectly in the native tongue
with only very few words adapted
from foreign sources; in fact there
are fewer than one per cent. Of natur-
allied words in the Hawaiian.
1t has Its widespread linguistic af-
Anities. Tho PolyDesian tongue o.:
which 1t Is one member is spoken over
wide extent OF The Pacific, as far
south As New Zealand. as far east as TIE
Pita to Whenua or Rapa-nui, which is
better known as the Easter island of
the colossal carvings. When Cook
traversed those seas he carried II Tahi-
tian, who was everywhere competent
interpreter. One language Of the
Polynesian stem Ia as like another as
are English. Dutch and German. There
are Malay afllnties; there are stems
which may be traced in tho renoteness
Of Madagascar. At least one great
effort has been made to prove the
Polynesians to be an early offshoot Of
the Aryan race and therefore blood
brothers to the Germanic stook.-N.

A BUNKO GAME.

HE Phean Democratic sdeshow, falsely rep
 resenting itself as a Non-Partisan attempt to
 purify the local government, possesses the merit of frankness at least No conceament what has been made of its purpose in the present campaign of turning the control of the municipality Mayor Phelan and the office-seekers who round him. The nature of the bargain by which the Non-Partisans have been captured is, of course, kept in the background, but that 1t is advantageous to both sides admits of no doubt. Probably 1t in cludes fair division of the spells and continuation of the valuable services of Deacon Fitch chief vaquero in corraing Republican votes for the Demo- cratic machine
 The intrinsic value of MT. Ftch's services in this relation may be estimated when 1t is considered that ninety out of every hundred persons who vote the Non Partisan ticket are Republicans IT, therefore the Non-Partisans 1000 votes on election day for a ticket made up mainly of Democrats it is per ceved that goo will have been delivered to the candidates of party which, under no other circum- stances, could have procured them In other words goo Republicans will have been bunkoed into voting for Democratic candidates upon the false pretense that they are Non -Partisans
 For many years the party of Deacon Fitch has been engaged in this sort Of work but until has 1t been thoroughly exposed. Heretofore the Democratic politicians who have manipulated 1t for the purpose of getting Republican votes have prose cuted their scheme with respect for the de- mands of decency; but all regard for the appear ances has this year been thrown to the winds Boss Phelan evidently relies upon the reputation he has worked up for honesty" himself a cloak to cover his real designs, and he has no fear that his Non Partisan dupes will break away from him.
 Perhaps the holowness of Deacon Fitchs party having been completely explored it is not necessary to pay any further attention to it. Perhaps in no ticing 1t at all unduly magnifying its npor- tance- But there is principle stake in the matter which ought to be ignored even in the confusion Of warm campaign.
 Non-partisanism presented by MT. Ftch's "con- vention" is bunko game. It is designed to deliver Republican votes to Democratic candidates upon the theory that they will give the people better govern ment than Republican candidates, when in fact the contrary is the Being a fraud therefore if is the duty of every respectable citizen to fight non partisanism. Even though the bunko steering might not yield Phelan 800 votes, it be remembered that per cent of the 800 will be defrauded and no stone should be left unturned protect them Every Republican candidate owes this duty to the people of his party for whom Deacon Fitchs trap has been

WILLIAM E. FITZGERHLD.

D all intelligent voters of San Francisco the h opportunity offered of obtaining in the A/ office of City and County Attorney a lawyer of such eminence and a man of such unquestiOned in tegrity as William F. Fitzgerald will be regarded as
 too valuable be lost The support given him will far exceed the limits of party. It will include not only all Republicans but all independent citizens who appreciate the importance of the office and recognize the necessity Of filling 1t worthiy.
 MT. Fitzgerald after having demonstrated in his private practice his knowledge of the law and his swervng devotion to duty, appointed to the Su preme Court where his service though comparatively brief, was of exceptional merit The record made on the Supreme bench won for him the suffrages of majority of the voters when he became candidate for the office of Attorney General In that office which he now fills he has added to his former high reputation as urst and official. He comes be- fore the people of San Francisco, therefore, as man who has been tried and tested both in private and in official life and has shown himself worthy of the SUD- port of all.
 The responsibilities of the City and County Attor- ney of San Francisco are great and onerous. Much of the public welfare depends upon the manner in which those duties fulfilled. It is office which requires of the incumbent wide legal knowledge, a thorough acquaintance with the practices of the and firm resolve to maintain the inviolablity of justice.
 It is not often that lawyer of MT Fitzgera1d's rank consents to accept this office for the salary is not large It s therefore an evidence of his patriotic re- gard for the public welfare that he has consented to become candidate for the place San Francisco will honor herself more than him by his election nor will the honor be an empty one. With such lawyer to guard the interests of the city and county the benefits sure to accrue will be of the highest value the whole community
