THEIR NOSES WON THE SUIT.
Heirs to a 100000 Estate identified by

(From the New York Journal)


CFrom the New York Journal.)
The heirs TO a large estate, left by an
uncle who died intestate, Nettie e. "
peabody. and George E. l.. Kipp, Of
California, have thought themselves
powcrlcss for a long time to establish
their identity. For years the brother
and sister have fought for their share
in the estate of their uncle, Andrew
ktpp. of Saugerties, New York, worth
to them about $4,000. Having no pa
Ders of their father. James Brown Kipp,
the task of establishing their identity
was no easy one. But finally they con-
qucred. having conclusively proved their
identity by means of the peculiar shape
OF their noses, such being u striking
characteristic of their fathers family

Famous Kip case, celebrated through

When Andrew Kipp died, his brother

Tor OF the estate. Then the California
claimants put in an appearance and de-
manded their rightful share. James

TRAM AND SOLDIERS.
There Is a Rate But Ii Has Red
Tape Feature.

Mr.. Paine, manager of the Tram
Company, was asked yesterday IL no
rate was made for the soldiers en-
camped on Diamond Head and in the
park.
The News Muster. the soldier paper.
had published vigorous protest over
the fact that men were compelled to
pay full fare as this hardship has not
been experienced anywhere else.
Mr.. Paine said he supposed that
about all OF the men were paying full
fare, but that IL was their own fault.
He had received a letter from Col.
Ruhlein. quartermaster. on the subject
and had responded at once that the
rate should be fifteen cents for the
round trip from the Waikiki terminus
instead OF twenty cents. Tickets had
been prepared, but the only persons
who had called for them were a few
officers.
The tickets are sold in numbers OF
not less than twenty. so that unless
pay authorities make some arrange
ment for the men they will not get the
reduction. Only the millionaire sons
in the ranks OF the enlisted men would
have enough money twenty minutes
after pay time to buy twenty tickets at
| fifteen cents each and besides not all
| OF the men would want twenty tickets.
The hope has been freely expressed
that the company make a simple sys-
| tenn that would permit the men TO get
the benefit OF the small reduction.

SPANISH PRIESTS
ARE IN FLIGHT.
Eight OF Them From Manila Tell
Sad Tales.

There are eight Spanish priests on
the Doric, fresh from Manila, on their
way to Venezuela to begin labors anew.
They do not know a word of English,
and are therefore not interesting con-
versationalists in this part OF the
world. Through an interpreter one of
them made this statement:
I'VE are Catholic priests and were
sent to Manila from Spain. Our work
was in the country districts of LuZon.
Soon after the Spanish fleet was sunk
the insurgents wrecked our schools,
robbed and despoiled our mission
churches and drove us into Manila.
About fifty priests were killed by them
in the most brutal manner. Twenty
four were of our own order. the others
being, for the most part, French and
Belgians. As our whole work was laid
waste, we decided to leave the Philip
pines and were finally permitted TO do
so by the head of our order in Spain.
No, we are not the only ones to- flee
from Manila. \ number OF other
priests, some Spanish and others from
various countries of Europe, left about
the same time for their homes or to
new fields. We left just before the city
surrendered. went to Macao and thence
to Hongkong.
Let us impress one thing. We did
not flee from the Americans. On the
contrary we know that our churches
and interests would have fared well
under the laws of the United States.
1t was merely the discouragement OF
seeing the work of years destroyed by
the men we had gone to teach, and the
improbability of cementing feeling and
being able to build up again among
them.
Many people of Manila and Luzon
welcome the Stars and Stripes. All,
even to those most embittered by the
war, prefer American to insurgent
rule. The latter would be simply sui
cidal to Christianity and all business
pursuits. We anticipate that the in
surgents Will make serious trouble be-
fore matters settle down. IL is eSti-
mated that there are $4,000 of them in
striking distance of Manila"
Soon after reaching Honolulu the
priests were met by Bishop Gulstan
and escorted to the Mission. There
they We're cordially received by the
| fathers.

wela school, and Miss Kathleen King
was appointed assistant in Kamauka-
pill school.
The matter of Professor Hits, teach
er in drawing in the city schools, was
brought up and discussed at length. Ii
appears that the Department has re-
ceived complaints That the instructor
is derelict in his work, failing at times
to visit schools under his charge to or
ganize classes in them. There was con-
siderable stir among teachers over the
affair. Mr.. Hits was suspended last
Friday. In the meanwhile a letter
made it's appearance, which will be
used by the Department. At the meet
ing the matter was referred to the
Teachers Committee and MIR. Won Holt.
Mr. Lightfoot reported the attend
ance upon the night school to be great
er than ever before. The services Of
an extra teacher were badly needed.
Miss DietZ, who recently arrived from
Sonomo county, Cal, was appointed to
the position.
Minister Cooper reported the arrival
Of Miss Egan, the new instructor for
the Practice School. She was chosen in
California by Professor Dressler.
Mr.. Oglesby was appointed assistant
in the school at Ulupalakua, Maui.
Mr.. Sturgeon, the new man appoint
ed to Kaunakakai, was, soon after
reaching that place, offered a much
better position by Manager p. McLane
on the MolOkai plantation. The Com
missioners granted Mr.. Surgeons APP
plicatien for release and appointed his
wife principal of the school.

September, so that the children might
be at home during the coffee picking
season. This was favored by the Com
missionerS and may be done.
The Hits case was again taken up
