The Appalling Crime Record.
From the New York World DemJ.

What is the meaning of the epidemic
of crime which has broken out in so
many parts OF the country? The country
is at peace and fairly prosperous. What
is the cause, what is the provocaton for
this outbreak? Are we retrograding as a
nation? Is it only municipal government
which fails to perform It's functions? The
record of the rural districts is nearly as
bad as that Of the cities. Above ALL what
is The remedy?

days up to Monday last, he had been
about again and was supposed to be in
his usual health. On last Sunday, he
was a caller at the home Of John
Lucas and was at his place of business
the following day. On Monday even
ing, Mr. Eldredge was not feeling well
and yesterday morning concluded that
he was too i'll to come to town. At
10 in the forenoon he had an attack
of heart trouble. DR.. c. B. Cooper was
called. The patient was in a serious
condition but there were no apprehen-
siOns that the sickness would result
fatally. Even at 1 p. M, when there
was another fainting spell, no alarm
was felt as to the outcome. Mr.. Ell
dredge had been strong man physi
cally and had great courage and will
power. Neither his appearance nor his
utterances indicated his real condition.
In the middle of yesterday afternoon
Drs Cooper and Wood called at the
home and when they left, Mr.. Eldredge
seemed to be on the road of recovery.
The third and last attack came at 10
o'clock last night. Death was very
nor keen suffering. The chord was
snapped on the instant and the life of
a true man went out.
Chas. H. Eldredge was born at Char
consequently over fifty-fve years of
age. He was a Union soldier during
the civil war in the United States and
saw much active service. On the field
he was wounded several times and
carried a bullet in one shoulder. He
was an intensely patriotic man and was
prominent in the Grand Army post
here. For many Observances of Decor
alton Day, he was the Grand Marshal
and was always a faithful attendant
upon meetings and ready and anxious
! to forward the interests of the organi-
zation and to aid and assist any We
teran in distress. He enjoyed the ac-
| Quaintance and esteem of some of the
most noted veteran soldiers in the
| United States. Among his fellow
men, Mr.. Eldredge was a firm and
/ staunch friend and socially and in the
| home was in every way a man to be
admired. He was AZ member Of the
American Legion of Honor and be-
sides was Free Mason. He was a
Past Master Mason, and had affiili-
ated with Hawaiian Lodge No. q, OF
this city.
Mr.. Eldredge has been in Hawaii
II or IS years and during all of that
time had held an important and re-
munerative position with the house OF

stockholder in the corporation and

that on some OF the thoroughfares,

The present road over the Pal was
opened for public travel in 1S45, when
Kamehameha III, accompanied by the
then premier, John Young, and the
late DR.. Judd, rode down and up the
same June q, of that year. His Ma
jesty was the first person who passed
over the road on horseback and may
be said to have opened it. We be-
lieve that DR.. Judd, accompanied by
Rev. E. Corwin, were the first persons
who passed over the Pail in a carriage,
about 1862, and which was then con-
sidered a feat Indeed there are not
many who care to risk it today. In
the fall of 1876 a subscription Of $500
-one-half of which was given by the
Government-was made up towards
improving Nuuanu road, which was
commenced under the supervision of
Rev. L. Smith, who volunteered his

In the early days of the foreigners
here the Judds, Parkers and others
were compelled to make quite frequent
trips over the Pail. There were trails
over Nuuanu, Kalihi, Waimanalo and
elsewhere perhaps at the time the Isl
ands were discovered. With the con-
structiOn of the present excellent road
the trails have been practically aban-
doned. 1t was claimed that during the
uprising in 1895, some natives made
their way to Waimanalo by trail out
of either Palolo or Manoa valley. Ere
quently in these years at favorable
season for tramping, local mountain
climbers make the trip to the other

chiefs. Prof. w. T. Brigham talks inter
estingly of his first trip to the volcano

OF natives carrying calabashes packed
with supplies and scientific instru-
