The following from the Portland Elk
press in going the rounds:

press in going the rounds:
A lady on Pearl street purchased a
dozen eggs at Wilson's grocery store
the other day. On one Of the eggs she
found the cabalistic letters, g. S. H..
The event was noised among the neigh
bors and it created a great deal OF ex-
element, All the women assembled at
the house OF the lady who found the egg
and held a consultation. 1t was IMAM
imously agreed that the letters were
prophetic OF something, but what? One
lady suggested that it meant Give SIN
ners Help" Another suggested hat 1T
meant "God Send Help" Still another
said it meant that God Saves Hea-
thens." Another declared That it meant
that God Sends HARMONY, A certain
old lady, who is well known for her re-
ligious devotion, had not taken part in
the discussion, but sat intently listening
to her sisters, who were becoming quite
animated. Suddenly this good old
lady Jumped to her feet and in tones OF
exultation declared that she had figured
out what the letters on the egg stood
for. With the fire OF righteous indigna-
ton sparkling in her eyes, she declared
that iIe letters meant "GiveSpain Hell"
All present at once unanimously agreed
that the Interpretation was right.
A sure potato bug exterminator is
made by taking two blocks OF wood,
make a small indenture in one. place the
bug on it, then place the other block on
the bug, press firmly together, continue
this process until you have operated on
| all the bugs in the patch, then ii not
satisfied tackle your neighbors. OF
course you will laugh at this method
and simple device, just because it is
cheap, you get it for the sure method.
Just the same a fellow not a thousand
miles from here sent his good money
away last year for this same informa-
| ton and wasn't a bit tickled when he
received it either, and at last accounts
there were still bugs in his potato
patch, too.

Japanese Woman Manag.
er for a Newspaper.
Is Right Up to Date in Her Calling
Is of Course q Good Talker.
Masa TakahaShi.

Al Interesting parsonage in the
newspaper business here is the Jap
aaese woman 3Iasa Takahashi. bust
ness manager o. the Hawaii Shinpo.
This publication is widely advertised
in several languages as the leading and
the Oldest japanese paper of the Isl
ands, as the only japanese daily in
Hawaii. and Of course as having the
largest circulation of any paper reach
ing the Japanese colony. It is added
th1t the shtnpo has considerable
circulation IN Japan and in japanese
colonies throughout the world" In
the printing department movable type
is used.
The business manager of the Shinpo
is the wife Of the proprietor and ap-
pears to be the stronger member of
the partnership. She is bright, nerv-
GUS little woman. very shrewd, very
quick and a marvel of energy and ag-
erosion. 1Iasa Takahashi has been
out from Japan less than a year. She
seahs both English and Hawaiian In
soliciting for advertisements and JOB
printing she is persistent as a book
agadt OF the 23d degree and can figure
closely as Honolulu building cOntrac-
tor. The little woman dresses plainly
in b0l0ku and carries note book and
samples Of printing in bundle with
3 large silk handkerchief for a con
taiuer. She says she is fond Of the
business, that the paper is making
money and has much influence both
here and abroad. Masa Takahashi is
certainly the first woman in Hawaii
to manage TO a daily paper and there
are few women in America who take
hold Of the business end of a news
paper.

Races on the Fourth.

The Hawaiian Jockey Club spent
more than $4,000 in placing the race
track at Kapiolani park in shape for
the meeting on the 18th. AS that day
was such an unqualified success, it is
remarked as a pity that there cannot
be one more card for the money in
vested this year. In a few days the
Executive Committee OF the Jockey
Club will have a meeting. All tho
members who have addressed on the
matter are in favor of races on July
Fourth. 1t is believed that liberal
purses can be offered with certainty OF
coming out and avoiding a call on the
surplus. The Club has this season
expended $1,000 in repairs at the track
and the purses offered on the 18th
footed up $1,000

it is known that all the leading makes

HGiHG Patent Safety Boiler in
Favor Here.
TWO AT LIGHT WORKS
Make Well Tried - On Paauhau
Features to Recommend 1t.

The Risdon Iron and Locomotive
Works of San Francisco is on the
rather limited list Of foreign concerns
having the full confidence Of both the
Government and the business commun-
| ity of this country. The Risdon" has
| been sending machinery of all sorts
here for many years and as there has
increased the volume of Island orders.
so has the satisfaction of customers
become permanent. The Risdon"
was awarded the contract for building
the Government dredger and that
great piece of machinery stands as a
monument to the responsibility of the
house and the skill of its workmen
Just now "The Risdon" people are
making a speciality of a boiler called
the Heine Patent Safety. A number
of these boilers have recently been
built for use in Honolulu and at other
points in the group. During the re
cent visit of Mr.. TheO. Hoffman, man
ager of the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany's works, to the states, he pur-
chased for the extensive plant Of tbs
company here two 3OO-horse power
Heine boilers. This was after using
one Heine boiler of the size mentioned
for the past two years with entire
satisfaction. Mr. Hoffman recon-
mends the boiler highly and found
that it was held in high favor on the
Coast.
The Heine Patent Safety boiler is
largely used on sugar estates in LOui-
siana and Cuba. One large one has
been in use some time at the well
known Paauhau plantation of this
country The manager there is RObt.
More, himself an engineer. So Well
pleased is Mr.. More with the boiler
that he is having a second one built
by the Risdon people. 1t will be de-
Iivered in a few months.
The Heine boiler is, while adapted to
all kinds of fuel, peculiarly adapted
for burning bagasse, as the gases are
not broken up in their passage
through the tubes as i'm the case of
all other forms of water tube boilers.
The tubes being smaller than other
types of boilers makes the boiler steam
very freely.
The arrangement Of brick work
holds the heat so that when boiler is
shut down at night, it frequently hap
pens that the pressure will raise dur
ing the night.
The Heine boiler also has an inter
nal mud drum arrangement for puri-
tying the water. This feature is pos
sessed by no other boiler. The direct
passage for the gases allows a better
draft than is possible in other makes
where the fire passages are choked
with staggered tubes.
These boilers are almost entirely
free from repairs. The only part of the
boiler that can possibly be burnt out
being the tubes, which can be replaced
bv any ordinary engineer. This makes
the boiler particularly desirable for
plantations situated a long distance
from boiler shop. The ordinary
boiler possesses none of these features
but when repairs are needed it means
a shut down accompanied by an eX-
Densive gang of boiler makers.
The Risdon Iron Works publish
very exhaustive treatise relating to
these boilers entitled ''HeliOs'' a copy
of which will fbe sent to any one upon
application.

A MYSTERY SOLVED,
A Deathbed Confession CIears d

A Deathbed Confession Clears Up =
Killing a Byrenty Years Ago.
From the 81, louis Republic: Twen-
ty years ago Rudolph Popke was found
dead on West avenue, with his head
split open. A sharp stump near by
and an icy sidewalk gave the theory Of
a fall, so the coroner's jury returned a
verdict Of accidental death. Today l..
II. Muckensturn, a well-to-do .anch-
man OF Montana, who is here visiting
relatives, related story, the sub
stance of which follows: Muckensturn
had for a neighbor man who went
by the name Of Long. He was well-to-
90 and had family of six children
and was we'll thought of. One day
mule kicked him in the face, from the
result OF which he died. Before death
Long sent for Muckensturn and told
aim t1aeebout- years ago he
was living III Burlington under the
name of Lingren, but his real name
was Johnson. One Saturday night he
was returning from a dance with a
young woman and they met a stranger
on West avenue, who appeared to be
intoxicated. The man offered an in
sulting remark to the young woman
and Long struck him singing blow
in the face, knocking him down and
causing him to strike his head on
sharp stump. The man lay still and
Long and the girl, supposing him to
De merely senseless, hurried on. The
next day Long learned the man was
dead and that his name was Popke.
IN day or two Long packed up and,
having sworn the girl to secrecy, left
1or Montana. The girl still lives in
burlington, but her identity cannot be
traced now, as Long did not give her
name. Long said he had no intention
OF killing the man, but only to chas-
t1se him for the insult to the young
woman. The circumstances of tho
nnding of the body Of Popke are we'll
known to older Burlington people.
