A Lively Scrap.

James Whiting and June Sears, two
residents of the Mile Run neighbor-
hood, ran foul of each others battle
ships Tuesday night and mixed it up
in lively fashion. Broadsides of
clubs, stones and fists were poured in
indiscrimiuately and the fight stopped
when the opposing forces were unable
to continue. Both drew off for repairs,
more or less damaged. Mayor Richard
son will probably institute court OF
inquiry today.

of the purpose of the bill. but il was
rather vague There were small and

Rep. Gear stated that there was no

it could be made more definite. Scien-
tine men abroad had expressed their
intention of coming TO this country
and of gathering all in their power
that bore on the ancient history of
the Hawaiian people. The object of
the bill was to prevent this and. on
that account, it should be supported.
Rep. Achi advanced the argument
that the giving into the hands OF the
Government of the various sites of
heiaus and puuhonuas would increase
the value of the land. He was willing
to give up what relics of the kind
he happened to have on his land in

at once and, having been given per-

members of the House would not vote
to lay the bill on the table. The an

SAFE ROBBERY.
Chinese in North KOhala Raid
Plantation Office.

Plantation Office.
A letter was received from Deputy
Sheriff Puloa of North Kohala day or
so ago, in which he tells the following
story of robbery at Hawi mill in the
district mentioned:
con Thursday, April 2Sth, the clerk
in the office at the mill walked out for
about five minutes without closing the
safe or the office door. When he re-
turned it was to find $442.50 missing
from the safe. Very fortunately the
clerk happened to see a Chinaman
making for the cane. He and other
employees of the mill gave chase and
caught the fellow but nothing what
ever was found on his person. A num-
ber of the hands were called out and
searching in the cane and grass was
begun. In a short while $42O.5O of the
money was found.
Later on, another Chinaman, an ac-
complice of the first was caught and
upon his person was found a bag con-
tanning $11O. He admitted that he was
the partner of the first Chinaman and
went so far as to 'squeaI about the rob-
berry just committed and another per-
petrated in the vicinity short time
before. Both men were given a pre-
liminary hearing in the District Court
and then bound over for trial to the
October term of the Circuit Court

PLAIN "H. c."
A Man Who Did Not Part His
Name in the Middle.

Name in the Middle.
During the American Civil War, it
became necessary to appoint Federal
judge in the Arkansas district. Presi-
dent Lincoln considered candidates.
One of them was Henry Clay Cald-
well, now residing for time in Homo
lulu. When Representative Wilson, of
Iowa, spoke to Mr.. Lincoln on the
matter. Mr.. Lincoln replied that Mr..
Caldwell was perfectly satisfactory,
but that he would appoint no man for
the office who parted his name in the
middle" He produced newspapers
from Iowa, and letters which referred
to III. Clay Caldwell" This foppish-
ness the President considered a dis
qualification for office Representative
Wilson replied: He does not sign
his name that way. He is not respOn-
sible for the way the papers write his
name. Look at this" The Represen-
tative took from his pocket a letter
signed H. c. Caldwell. MIR. Lincoln
looked at it, was satisfied that Mr..
Caldwell did not part his name in
the middle" and at once signed his
as judge. Mr.. Lincoln's
little prejudice might have presented
the country from securing a most ex-
ceIlent jurist.
